Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Sweep Yongan County! (Please Subscribe)

Qingzhou, Yongan County, Cloud Clear Peak.

Qin Zheng stood on the plaza of the Green Phoenix Sword Sect, caressing the even sharper, faintly red Ghost Head Greatsword in his hand.

Behind him stood three Minor Generals who had followed him all the way from Lin Yuan City, as well as two Minor Generals from Camp Geng.

Shi Xinhan was originally from Yongan County, so his corpse was taken back to the main camp by the Demon-Slaying Colonels of Camp Geng to be prepared for burial.

No one had expected that the Great General of Camp Geng would fall so abruptly.

And with Camp Geng now leaderless, the several Minor Generals temporarily chose to follow Qin Zheng’s command.

After all, setting aside the identity of a direct disciple of the Commander-in-chief,

Qin Zheng’s swift slaying of two Great Demons from the Demon Saint Realm not only demonstrated his extraordinary strength but also served as direct revenge for their Great General.

In light of these circumstances, the soldiers of Camp Geng chose to bow their heads to Qin Zheng’s command.

At that moment, after the Demon-Slaying Colonels of Camp Geng had searched the Green Phoenix Sword Sect and found it deserted,

they realized that the entire sect of the human race had become prey to that Deer Demon, doomed to its stomach.

"Lord Qin, what should we do next?"

Pei Qing, the strongest among the Minor Generals of Camp Geng, usually took charge of commanding the entire camp in Shi Xinhan’s absence.

It was he who stopped Qin Zheng at the foot of the mountain earlier.

He looked towards Qin Zheng with respect and asked.

Qin Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly before he said, "Within Yongan County, are there any more Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm, what’s the number of Monsters above the Demon King Realm, and how many Demon Mountains are there?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Qing pondered for a moment before he replied, "Within Yongan County, there is one Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm, the number of Monsters above the Demon King Realm should be over one hundred and thirty, and there are a total of eleven Demon Mountains."

Qin Zheng nodded upon hearing this.

Then he asked again, "In Camp Geng, are there still Minor Generals stationed?"

Pei Qing answered, "Lord Qin, there are eight Minor Generals in Camp Geng. Other than the two of us here, there are six others posted within Camp Geng."

Qin Zheng thought for a moment, sheathed the Ghost Head Greatsword, and then said, "The eight original Minor Generals of Camp Geng, along with the three who followed me from Lin Yuan City, makes eleven in total."

"Since that exactly corresponds with the eleven Demon Mountains, it would be suitable for one person to suppress one Demon Mountain."

As he spoke, he turned around to face the Minor Generals.

He then announced decisively, "Then, effective immediately, mobilize all forces within Camp Geng. Within three days, I want to cleanse Yongan County!"

Although they had been somewhat prepared in their hearts, the several Minor Generals were still shocked upon hearing Qin Zheng’s words.

"Lord Qin, if such a massive move attracts other Monsters from outside the boundaries..."

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he said coldly, "Then we’ll deal with them all!"

"Yes!"

Having heard the determination in Qin Zheng’s tone, the Minor Generals stopped questioning and respectfully assented.

If they could clear Yongan County of Monsters, not only would it deter the Great Demons eyeing Yongan County, but it would also ensure a period of peace and quiet for the region.

Thus, Pei Qing immediately turned and left with the three Minor Generals who had come from Lin Yuan City, not wasting any time.

After they had departed, Qin Zheng then took out a Demon Core and began to examine it closely.

...

Heimu Cliff.

This was the most dangerous place in Yongan County.

Because here, there was a Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm!

The Blackwood Bat King!

The only Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm in Yongan County!

After the news from Cloud Clear Peak had spread, many Monsters within Yongan County hesitated whether to leave.

After all, the Lingming Deer King had killed Shi Xinhan, the Great General of Camp Geng, which could very likely provoke the furious storm of the Demon Slayers.

If a thunderous campaign was launched, many Demon Mountains in Yongan County might be destroyed.

And the most direct target would certainly be this only Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm.

But it seemed that the Bat King was not affected at all, still dwelling in the caverns of the cliffs of Heimu Cliff.

This reassured many watching Monsters, making them feel more settled.

After all, there is a strong sense of territorial consciousness among the Monsters; leaving Yongan County and entering other areas would certainly not make their lives better than they presently were.

But their sense of security didn’t last long, as soon Camp Geng in Yongan County began to stir.

Colonel after Colonel of Demon Slayers emerged en masse from Camp Geng, swiftly making their way to the eleven Demon Mountains within Yongan County.

Accompanying them were eleven Martial Artists of the Grandmaster Realm, the Demon Slayer Minor Generals!

Instantly, the atmosphere within the entire Yongan County became tense, and silence prevailed.

Simultaneously, many eyes were fixed on the direction of Heimu Cliff.

With the eight Minor Generals of Camp Geng active, the Great General Shi Xinhan fallen, and the direct disciple from Lin Yuan City taking over,

Even though this direct disciple had immediately slain two Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm upon his intervention,

the truth of it was unknown to all except for the two fallen Great Demons.

After all, these Monsters had heard that this direct disciple from the headquarters had only just begun and had not yet broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm.

That a Martial Artist, who had not yet broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, could so effortlessly slay two Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm,

was something the Monsters of Yongan County simply could not believe.

Therefore, for all the monsters, the battle at Cloud Clear Peak, which resulted in the deaths of two demon beasts at the Demon Saint Realm, seemed shrouded in mystery.

"How strong is that direct disciple, really? Is he a paper tiger or a true overlord? Whether he dares to go to Heimu Cliff and drive out the Blackwood Bat King will be the test!"

So, while the multitude of monsters were still speculating about the true nature of the battle at Cloud Clear Peak—

a group of Demon-Slaying Colonels in uniform had already ridden their horses in a mad dash to Heimu Cliff.

Leading the Demon-Slaying Colonels was a demon horse with a trace of Flood Dragon bloodline!

And on the back of the horse was a young man in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, looking awe-inspiring.

When the Demon-Slaying Colonels looked at this figure, their eyes were filled with admiration.

Up ahead, Qin Zheng raised his head to look at the sheer cliff that lay before him.

With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see a massive cave halfway up the mountainside.

That was where the Blackwood Bat King made its lair.

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he turned to the group of Demon-Slaying Colonels behind him and said, "Wait here for me."

Having said that, he dismounted, deployed his Qinggong, and skimmed away like a swooping swallow, swiftly scaling the cliff before them.

In just a few breaths’ time, Qin Zheng’s figure had rushed into the cave.

At the spot, the Demon-Slaying Colonels who had followed him could not help but become visibly excited.

"What do you think, how strong is Lord Qin really?"

"It’s unclear just how strong, but someone who could easily see through that disguised fox demon posing as a Great General and casually slay two Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm surely isn’t weak!"

"The most important thing is, Lord Qin is still so young! Who knows how strong he could become in the future!"

"Perhaps... It is not impossible for Qingzhou to give birth to a Martial Saint!"

When the words ’Martial Saint’ were mentioned, although the Demon-Slaying Colonels were only at the Bone Refining Realm, they all displayed fervent enthusiasm.

The Martial Saint Realm, the holy land of Martial Arts!

If one could reach that level, they would possess supreme power capable of altering landscapes with a mere gesture!

Such a realm... truly inspires longing!

The men were still imagining just how mystical the Martial Saint Realm could be.

It was then that a slightly cold voice rang out in their ears.

"Move, to the nearest Demon Mountain!"

The appearance of this voice suddenly startled the Demon-Slaying Colonels, who quickly turned their heads to look.

They saw Qin Zheng holding a steaming Demon Core in his hand, arriving before everyone, then he quickly remounted, grabbed the reins, and turned around.

With a slight cry of "Yah," Qin Zheng spurred the demon horse, which immediately dashed forward.

Back where they stood, the Demon-Slaying Colonels exchanged glances, seeing undisguised shock in each other’s eyes.

How long had it been?

They had barely exchanged a few words, and he had already slain the Blackwood Bat King, a Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm?

In this instant, they became even more acutely aware of just how formidable the direct disciple of the Commander-in-chief was.

The Blackwood Bat King had been a thorn in the side of the previous Great General, a Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm that had not been eradicated!

Now it had been so effortlessly slain and its Demon Core harvested.

It seemed that cleaning Yongan County of monsters within three days wasn’t an empty boast!

With this thought, the group swiftly tugged on their reins and rode towards the figure.

Thus, within Yongan County, the monsters had not yet heard any news about the Blackwood Bat King.

Instead, under Qin Zheng’s lead, one after another, the Demon Mountains were swiftly dealt with by the Demon Slayers.

During this process, any monster with a significant Realm, couldn’t escape from the arrows that struck like lightning flashes.

Before the third day had even arrived, by the afternoon of the second day as the sun was about to set,

Qin Zheng, leading eleven Minor Generals and a host of Demon-Slaying Colonels from Camp Geng, had completely purged eleven Demon Mountains!

After that, the eleven scourges that had threatened the citizens of Yongan County were utterly gone!

Although Yongan County might not be free of monsters forever, and these cleared areas would eventually become occupied again,

that was a matter for the future. For now, any monster that thought to take advantage of the situation would be greeted by the Demon Slayers’ greatswords!

And this news spread like a hurricane throughout Qingzhou.

A temporary demon-exorcising team, comprising members from Camps Jia, Yi, and Bing, had only just neared the edge of Yongan County.

After receiving this news, everyone was shocked, but they also looked toward the young girl holding a halberd at the front of the group.

Their mission had been to drive out and kill the monsters in Yongan County.

Now, before they even arrived, Camp Geng had already completed this task, exterminating those monsters, and hence their own mission was completed as well.

Xu Qingling, looking at the gazes of those around her, paused for a moment before saying, "Disband on the spot and return to your respective military camps!"

Camps Jia, Yi, and Bing, despite being strong, also guarded the areas most plagued by monsters.

Since they were no longer needed in Yongan County, it was best they returned quickly to their respective camps and carried out their duties.

Meanwhile, at Camp Geng in Yongan County, inside a tent,

Qin Zheng was inspecting the merits he had accumulated and silently intoned, "Upgrade Martial Arts · Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique!"
