Chapter 312: Chapter 296: The Spirit Demon! Reaping Virtue! (4000 words)_2

"As for the Heart Demon, it dares not step foot within the borders of the human race,"

"Our Human race’s Peerless Immortal Sword possesses a sentient sword spirit; should any Heart Demon encroach, it would be sensed immediately,"

"With a stroke of the sword, no matter how cunning the method of the Heart Demon, it can only perish in resentment!"

"The current sovereign of the Wancheng Demon Nation is an extremely rare Heart Demon, but even it dares not tread within the borders of the human race, not to mention approach!"

Hearing Qi Yuan’s words, Qin Zheng nodded and felt somewhat more at ease in his heart.

At the same time, he felt a newfound admiration for that Peerless Immortal Sword.

From any perspective, it seemed like a guardian deity of the human race, staunchly stopping various threats from outside.

It wasn’t hard to imagine, if the human race didn’t have this one, they would most likely become hellish.

Just like the White Bone City he had previously destroyed, where the humans were like livestock, devoid of any dignity.

Thinking so, Qin Zheng also felt respect welling up within him for this guardian of the human race, the Peerless Immortal Sword.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked solemnly at Qin Zheng and said, "There’s still a day’s journey to the Human King Palace."

"To prevent the Demonic Nature from acting up again, I will use a magical treasure to bind myself."

"By then, I will lose all my capacity to take action, and I hope that you can protect me for this remaining day’s journey."

Qin Zheng nodded at his words.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan immediately took out a Golden Rope and started to wrap himself up.

Instantly, his aura plummeted as if he had become an ordinary person with his hands tied, powerless as a chicken.

"In this way, even if the Demonic Nature in the depths of my heart erupts again, I can’t break the bonds and cause any trouble."

Qi Yuan felt his state and then nodded satisfactorily as he spoke.

Then, in the next moment.

"Roar!"

"Release me!!"

Qi Yuan’s face suddenly contorted, as he looked at Qin Zheng and bellowed with a shrill roar.

The change happened in the blink of an eye.

Qin Zheng’s expression remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly, "Have you not been beaten enough?"

Hearing this, a hint of shame and annoyance flashed across Qi Yuan’s fierce face.

The Heavenly-opening Seal he had just experienced was indeed painful, having been beaten back into his original human form and only then reemerging.

Thus, he immediately retorted with anger, "A mere Human Immortal dares to speak so boldly before me! If you dare, release these ropes and see who beats whom!"

Qin Zheng didn’t continue to argue with him, instead carefully observing his current state.

Whether on the outside or inside, it was still the bodily structure of the human race.

Yet it inexplicably emitted the demonic energy unique to the Demon race.

Heart Demon...

Indeed treacherous methods!

After this thought, Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze and, ignoring Qi Yuan’s struggle and roar, turned to look around.

The recent fight had caused many cracks, and the space here began to show signs of collapse as a result.

With a wave of his hand, strands of Dongtian Power appeared and rapidly repaired these spatial rifts.

After creating his Inner Heaven and Earth, he could also skillfully control the Dongtian Power.

In just a few moments, the space here became stable once again.

Afterward, Qin Zheng turned to look at the ruins of what once was the Scripture Pavilion and summoned the undamaged books to be placed in front of him.

Then he began reading the books right on the spot.

Seeing that Qin Zheng was ignoring him, Qi Yuan scoffed a few times and then also quieted down.

Time slowly passed in this silent situation.

Until three days later, the space around them suddenly vibrated, and Qin Zheng had just finished the last surviving book.

"It’s time."

He spoke quietly as if to himself.

And at this moment, Qi Yuan, who had been silent for two days, slowly opened his eyes.

"I will give you one more chance."

"Release the restraints on me and open your mind to willingly become my Human Slave."

"In doing so, I can spare your life."

Qi Yuan looked at Qin Zheng, malice filling his eyes as he coldly smirked and spoke again.

But in his gaze, Qin Zheng’s expression remained calm, not a ripple to be seen.

Seeing his attitude, Qi Yuan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he sneered, "Let me remind you, the journey that was supposed to take one day has taken three!"

"Have you carefully thought about why that is?"

Qin Zheng remained calm.

A sense of unease grew in Qi Yuan’s heart, and he quickly spoke up, "Have you forgotten that I am the master of this Flying Boat!"

"Since I am in control, naturally I will not continue towards the Human King Palace!"

"At this moment, this Flying Boat has already deviated from its original course and has arrived at..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe step forward, coming right in front of him.

Then, a large hand reached out, instantly grasping his neck.

"Let’s go."

A calm voice tinged with excitement sounded in Qi Yuan’s ear.

It was as if they had known his plans and moves all along, and were even looking forward to them.

Qi Yuan had a bad premonition, but before he could ponder further,

The scenery before his eyes instantly changed.

...

A silver Flying Boat, emitting a clear light, was currently hovering between the black mountains and crimson waters.

Vicious and majestic demonic energy was spreading wantonly in this area.

Six Great Demons, of Human Immortal Rank, were encircling the Flying Boat from all directions, cautiously staring at it.

"Is this what General Divine Might has been waiting for us to bring?"

A Bull Demon with vertical horns on its head looked towards the silver Flying Boat and, with a slight frown, asked.

"There’s a presence inside the Flying Boat that, though faint, is extremely pure demonic energy; it must be the human incarnation that Lord Heart Demon has recently captured,"

a Bear Demon as large as a mountain but with a body pitch-black, added from the other side.

"Enough talk. If it truly is an incarnation of Lord Heart Demon, let’s just greet it with due respect and caution."

"The Demon Nation is about to undertake a great endeavor. Whether Black Wind Mountain can achieve merit and catch the sovereign’s eye depends on this occasion!"

At this, an old goat stepped forward and spoke.

Then all the Great Demons’ gazes locked onto the silver Flying Boat.

Immediately after,

Hum!

The Flying Boat shimmered faintly, and two figures instantly appeared.

One of them radiated the faint but extremely pure demonic energy!

It was indeed the Heart Demon incarnation they had been waiting for!

The other figure, of Human Immortal Realm, must be some kind of follower of Lord Heart Demon.

The six Human Immortal Great Demons promptly turned to the Heart Demon incarnation and respectfully spoke, "We greet Lord Heart Demon!"

The Heart Demon held a pivotal position within the Demon race, being one of the very top among the Great Demons.

And its means were so peculiar that any existence it eroded would become another incarnation of the Heart Demon.

Therefore, even though a human stood before them, they still had to maintain respect,

for it was possible that the consciousness of Lord Heart Demon had already descended upon this human incarnation.

At this moment, several Great Demons spoke at once, and a demonic wind blew wildly, causing a shift in the heavens and the earth.

But they received no response.

They looked up at the two figures.

This time, they noticed something different.

The Heart Demon incarnation had a cold expression, but did not utter a word, almost as if being held hostage.

That Human Immortal, on the other hand, showed no fear in his eyes when looking at them, and even a trace of fervor!

That look in their eyes was all too familiar to them, it was the kind of gaze one had when spotting a sought-after prey!

So, at that moment, a surge of rage welled up in the hearts of the six Great Demons.

A mere Human Immortal dared to be so presumptuous, to see them as prey!

Had he really not realized that this place was no longer the territory of the human race?!

But because of the Heart Demon incarnation present, the Great Demons could only suppress their fury and said in a low voice, "Lord Heart Demon, General Divine Might is still waiting for you in Black Wind Mountain, perhaps we should..."

Before they could finish,

Hum!

An earth-shaking hum of Sword Qi resounded in their ears.

Immediately after, a majestic Sword Qi that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth completely enveloped them.

In just an instant, they could no longer sense their own bodies.

And as their consciousness was about to dissipate,

they seemed to hear a calm voice, suppressed with excitement.

"Not bad, not bad at all!"
