Chapter 590: Chapter 468: The Calamity of Demons Transformation

The young man in the brocade robe, with a sword strapped to his waist, hummed a song as he made his way to the ferry crossing.

His appearance was extremely recognizable.

The two Taoist priests guarding the ferry crossing saw the weapon at his waist and the orchid in his hair and immediately exclaimed with joy:

"Kuang Dao Shen Yuan is back!"

"Quick, report to the peak!"

One of them took out a Communication Talisman, muttered an incantation, and threw it into the air.

The talisman instantly turned into a streak of fire and flew away.

Wu Xiaode smiled, walked forward, and said with a clasped fist:

"Excuse me, I’d like to cross the river."

One Taoist said, "Please wait a moment, sir; the elder has been waiting on the other side of the ferry—he’s here!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Several figures were seen flying over from the opposite side of the river.

Wu Xiaode squinted to look.

The first to land was Elder Chen from the Destruction Council, who clasped his fist and said, "Shen, it’s an emergency, please join the battle immediately."

"What happened?" asked Wu Xiaode.

"To the south of the city, a large number of demons have attacked, and all the humans they encountered along the way have been devoured, the City Lord has already led people to meet the battle," said Elder Chen.

Wu Xiaode was rather astonished.

Had those demons been kicked in the head by a donkey? They dared to attack a city protected by Jie Mo?

Elder Chen spoke earnestly, "We beseech Shen to join us in heading to the city’s south to save the common folk."

The crowd drew their weapons and shouted loudly:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Wu Xiaode was uncertain about the situation and sent a mental message:

"Elder Chen, what’s really going on?"

Elder Chen gave Wu Xiaode a meaningful glance and replied through a mental message, "There are simply too many demons. Council Leader, how about we slip away together?"

Slip away?

I need to kill evil beings to obtain Soul Power and become the number one person in this world so I can get that card.

And you’re telling me to slip away?

Wu Xiaode smiled, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said resoundingly:

"If that’s the case, then let me join everyone in meeting the enemy!"

—He had a great reputation and had just slain the Evil Flood Dragon, holding significant sway in everyone’s hearts.

When he spoke of joining the rest to face the enemy, everyone immediately cheered.

Elder Chen looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Elder Chen, there were also demon sightings three hundred miles behind me in the Desolate Mountains. Could you patrol the mountains on my behalf while I hold off the demons to the south of the city?" asked Wu Xiaode loudly.

Elder Chen instinctively shuddered and quickly replied, "Your command is my wish!"

He took off his waist badge and handed it to Wu Xiaode, and instantly the other Cultivators behind him gathered around and stood behind Wu Xiaode.

A laugh couldn’t help but escape from Wu Xiaode’s heart.

This Elder Chen really was a coward. His men were already disloyal, yet he kept up a facade as if a death sentence didn’t frighten him at all.

—That’s right.

Such a person could indeed live long in such tumultuous times.

"Let everyone follow me."

Having said that, Wu Xiaode soared into the sky, heading toward the city’s south.

The crowd followed in pursuit.

Elder Chen was left alone at the original spot.

He looked up at the sky, and when everyone had flown out of sight, he murmured to himself:

"The Council Leader must have something he needs to do, which is why he chose to go south of the city."

"His strength is formidable, but mine is not."

"I cannot go to my death."

After speaking, he turned and walked toward the direction of the Desolate Mountains.

—The Council Leader mentioned that there are demons deep in the Desolate Mountains.

Just stay around the edge of the Desolate Mountains for a while, and definitely don’t venture deep inside.

Wait until the battle in the city is over, then return to see the situation, and decide whether to leave or stay at that time.

Hmm.

I really am the wisest.

Elder Chen nodded to himself and started walking toward the Desolate Mountains.

...

Wu Xiaode flew in the sky.

After transcending the tribulation, he integrated into this world and became a genuine Cultivator.

His realm was Tianshu.

He possessed a total of 600 points of Eternal Soul Power.

According to the cultivation knowledge infused by the World Will, his current world categorized Cultivation Levels as:

Tianxuan, Tian Ji, Tianquan, Tianshu, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light—seven levels in total.

All Worlds Sword Saint Li Chengfeng was a high-ranking expert of Shaking Light Realm.

So was the Human Emperor.

Those who had died were basically at "Shaking Light," the highest realm.

He was three realms away from them.

—He must kill more evil beings!

Wu Xiaode glanced at a Cultivator to his left.

He surely fell short when compared to those strong individuals, but Tianshu was still considered middle-tier among the seven realms, so it should be decent.

However, he did not know the Cultivation level of the people around him.

—Right, he could use "jpg" to view the attributes of a given entity.

"jpg."

Wu Xiaode looked at the Cultivator and thought silently.

In an instant.

The personal information of the Cultivator appeared in the Void:

"Name: Huang Silin"

"Cultivation: Tian Ji"

"Height: 187 centimeters (taller than you, larger volume than you, cannot be collected into ’Rage’)

"Weight: 185 jin"

"Strengths: Five Elements Fire Skill, Hidden Weapons, Running Away"

"Weaknesses: Gambling, Laziness, Cowardice"

"Crush: Liu Li"

"Favorite Color: Yellow"

"Favorite foods: braised beef, dry-fried pork intestines, Spirit Grain Porridge"

"..."

Wu Xiaode looked at the densely packed personal information, which was over three meters long, it practically provided a clear biography of "Huang Silin."

He then looked at others.

The information for everyone was clear at a glance.

And because "jpg" was hung under the Death Skill, it naturally consumed no Soul Power, just like "Everday City," "Shadow Followers," and "Anger."

With that said—

The Inner World Skill "jpg," even if not used to cut characters into "Anger," was extremely useful for espionage alone.

"My lord, the battlefield is just ahead!"

A cultivator reported loudly.

"Follow me," Wu Xiaode said.

He drew out his Butterfly Soul saber, his eyes slightly closed, his hand forming a certain gesture.

"Five Elements Thunder Skill·Execution."

Once his Soul Power moved, an instant drop of 400 points occurred, then rapidly replenished due to the "Eternal" attribute.

Void, void, void—

A series of dull hums emanated from the bright blade.

A series of flickering blue-white thunder lights twined around the blade’s edge, constantly moving.

Yet, this was not Li Chengfeng’s saber skill.

The World Will had imparted combat knowledge from all cultivators of a past era.

With the attribute "Thunder (Judgment)," Wu Xiaode was able to effortlessly select a Thunder Skill from the past Thunder Techniques.

"Such a powerful Thunder Skill!"

"As expected from Kuang Dao Shen Yuan!"

"Let’s follow Shen and charge together—"

The crowd cheered in unison.

Unperturbed, Wu Xiaode swooped down, his body crashing into the battlefield like a meteor.

The saber immediately burst into a myriad of thunder lights, wildly surging around him.

Carrying the sharp thunder light like a blade, he sped through the battlefield swiftly, if a god stood in his way, it was slain, if a demon barred his path, it was annihilated!

This time, he deliberately refrained from using the Butterfly Soul saber’s mighty capabilities "Crimson City" and "Blizzard," relying only on close combat.

After all, he had been granted what was nearly an endless stream of combat knowledge but had never engaged in a real fight.

Once the slaughter began, that knowledge continuously leaped from deep within his mind, endlessly surfacing in Wu Xiaode’s thoughts.

Just by instinctively glancing, he knew he had many ways to dodge. With every step he took, it felt like he could execute dozens of movement techniques he had never seen, and with every swing of his saber, he seemed to have hundreds of saber skill moves to choose from.

Such a novel and intoxicating feeling made it almost impossible for him to stop. He went wherever there were more demons, cutting down everything in his path.

When he encountered particularly difficult opponents, he would use up 600 points of Soul Power in one go, releasing either a secret Thunder Skill or a mighty saber technique.

— He could do this because of the rapid replenishment of the Eternal Soul Power. Often after striking down an enemy with one move, he would recover nearly a hundred points of Soul Power with the second, ready to deploy a defensive skill, activate a movement technique, or even directly block the enemy’s blows with his saber.

Even when high-level demons came at him alone, they were helpless against him.

— He simply had too many moves!

In the end, it was because he was so absorbed in slaying that he mindlessly allowed himself to be surrounded by seven or eight Tian Ji and Kaiyang demons who attacked simultaneously—

"Die!"

They roared out loud.

Wu Xiaode stood with his saber, positioned in the middle of the formation, and began speaking with a smile,

"Return."

In a blink of an eye,

He was back before he was besieged, his body spinning, he quickly escaped the encirclement and charged in another direction.

After several such constrictions, all the memories of battle formations and close combat imparted by the World Will emerged.

Gradually, Wu Xiaode was not fooled anymore.

In the end, as he ran and fought minor demons upfront, a group of greater demons followed behind him, bellowing in anger and frustration—

The entire battlefield turned into a chase scene.

As he ran, all knowledge and heritage became thoroughly integrated and came as naturally to him as moving his arms—

It could be said that he had become the inheritor of all the quintessential knowledge of this cultivation civilization.

This was the reward from the World Will!

Wu Xiaode, blocking and dodging while on the run, persisted for dozens of breaths before growing tired of playing.

With his Tianshu-level strength, it was impossible to eliminate these greater demons without using the Death Skill.

So—

Wu Xiaode flickered and weaved through seven or eight demons, jumping directly in front of the City Lord.

"What are you up to?"

The City Lord wore a dark expression and quietly transmitted his voice.

"What are you doing?" Wu Xiaode retorted.

— It was a fiendish monster capable of wiping out all those greater demons with a wave of its hand.

Why wasn’t it fighting with all its might?

Why?

The demons behind quickly caught up.

As Wu Xiaode saw the panic on the City Lord’s face, an idea suddenly struck him.

Everday City.

He thought to himself.

In an instant, Wu Xiaode disappeared from before the City Lord, creating his own parallel world, silently observing him.

"You—"

The City Lord was a mix of shock and rage.

However, the greater demons showed no mercy, attacking with full force.

Scores of lights streaked through the air, converging and exploding on the City Lord’s body.

Thrown like a broken kite across several dozen meters, his body "thudded" against the ground and remained still.

"The City Lord is dead!"

Someone screamed in panic.

The battlefield was in an uproar.

The human cultivators stood on the spot, momentarily at a loss.

Yet Wu Xiaode looked at the City Lord’s "corpse," his expression gradually becoming solemn.

— He saw human blood flowing from the City Lord’s body.

The fiend had transformed into a human!

But why?

Lying on the ground, the City Lord suddenly spoke,

"What a pity... such a pity..."

An extremely fierce aura emanated from him.

It seemed something was about to happen!
