Chapter 468: Chapter 373: One Punch, One Sword! Crushing the Demon of the Mountain! (4k)_2

The abrupt change left the already weak woman even paler, a look of despair emerging in her eyes.

But in her gaze, the strange man who had suddenly appeared remained calm, unfazed by the crises surrounding him.

"What’s your name?"

Suddenly, the man spoke.

At the same time, he lifted his right hand and with a slow twist of his fingers, gradually clenched them into a fist.

It was merely an ordinary movement, yet at that moment, it seemed as though he had grasped heaven and earth within that fist.

Then,

He swung his right fist.

Boom!

An indescribable, terrifying force erupted like a flood, sweeping away all the monsters that were attacking from all sides.

The next instant.

Bang!

An earth-shattering explosion sounded.

The monsters that had charged forth together burst into a rain of blood under that one punch.

The crowded city had in that moment suddenly become a ghost town, with thick, scarlet blood splattering and covering the entire city.

The woman’s pupils slowly dilated.

As if witnessing the unbelievable.

Previously dim and lifeless, her eyes suddenly brightened with a different kind of luster.

She opened her mouth to answer the other party’s question.

But the very next moment,

Bang!

The woman exploded without warning, turning into a mess of flesh and blood that splattered Qin Zheng with her blood.

Immediately after,

A colossal hand that blotted out the sky seemed to burst forth from the earth, bringing with it a fierce wind as it swooped down towards Qin Zheng.

"To think of rescuing someone before me, General Mu, is wishful..."

An angry voice laced with arrogance sounded out.

Qin Zheng’s expression was icy, his eyes filled with intense intent to kill as he suddenly stomped down on the ground.

Boom!

The earth shattered instantly!

A massive, formidable power surged from Qin Zheng’s foot, spreading into the depths below.

The previously formidable advancing hand hesitated, and then as if it had lost all bone, fell powerlessly onto the ground.

A thick, scarlet blood began to flow continuously from the cracks in the ground.

Qin Zheng looked indifferent as he bent down to examine the remains of the woman who had just exploded, realizing that there was absolutely no hope of revival.

Only then did he stand up and look down, flicking a strand of Sword Qi toward the ground.

Within but a few breaths, the Sword Qi brought a Demon Core into his hand.

...

[Item discovered: Mountain Ghost Demon Pill, can be refined, requires ten strands of Innate Merit, proceed with refining?]

[Note: Refining will yield the miraculous Mountain Spirit Essence.]

[Note: With spirits in nature, the mountain has a soul, and ghosts provide nourishment for the divine soul!]

...

Qin Zheng gave the Demon Core a brief glance before pocketing it, then his gaze shifted to a distant mountain outside the city.

This city wasn’t the dwelling place of the slain Great Demon of Taiyi; rather, the far-off mountain was the Shogunate mentioned by the monsters just now!

And now, with the fall of that Great Demon of Taiyi, something inside the mountain appeared to sense the change and began to stir.

Therefore, Qin Zheng looked toward the mountain and, with a flick of his finger, sent a strand of Sword Qi wrapped in power immediately shooting forth.

Whoosh!

Initially no larger than a finger, the strand of Sword Qi quickly expanded as it flew.

A foot, ten feet, a hundred feet, a thousand feet!

Boom!

When the Sword Qi reached the mountain, it had already turned into an overwhelming torrent, rushing past in an instant.

The mountain was instantly leveled by a single slash, its massive bulk turning to ash, mingling with the blood mists dispersing between heaven and earth.

At that moment, Qin Zheng strode forward to the edge of the flattened mountain.

Looking down, he saw a vast underground space below the mountain, teeming with the pale bodies of the human race.

With the mountainside now leveled, fresh air and light spilled into the underground space, causing the dazed and numb-eyed humans to lift their heads.

Just like in White Bone City, the humans here were raised like livestock, devoid of intelligence.

Qin Zheng’s emotions were complex.

"Qingxiao Palace..."

He whispered softly, and at the same time, stretched out his hand to take out the Human Seed Bag and collected all the humans below into it.

After completing all this, he took a step forward and merged into the void.

This Void Spirit Realm was vast, and he could roughly sense at least twenty of the Taiyi Order.

Plus, with humans here, his priority was to swiftly slay the Great Demons of Taiyi Order, and then clear the monsters from the land!

...

Deep within this Void Spirit Realm.

Five altars towered like mountains, encircling a formidable city at the center.

An invisible Power of Sealing permeated the heavens and earth in this place.

And at this moment.

Inside a building at the center of Hero City, resembling a royal palace, a tall man with his hands clasped behind his back looked into the distance.

"Your Majesty, today’s meal has been delivered," a voice full of deference sounded behind him.

The man nodded and then turned around, walking to the palace bedroom’s grand hall in front of him.

Around a round table, delicacies were laid out, steam and fragrances filling the grand hall.

And beside the round table, a beautiful woman adorned in a phoenix coronet and robes sat in silence.

The man gave a slight smile, sat down at the table, and said, "Won’t the Queen join me for the meal?"

The woman remained silent, and the man, unconcerned, picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

The clinking of dishes and the sound of chewing echoed in the grand hall.

Although the man seemed to enjoy his meal, the woman’s expression grew paler, and her eyes colder.

"What’s the point?"

The woman’s icy voice rang out.

"With your cultivation of the Taiyi True Realm, the human race can no longer bring you any benefits. Why do you continue to consume humans!"

She lifted her head with suppressed fury in her expression.

"Tsch," the man scoffed and then put down his bowl and chopsticks, looking mockingly at the woman in the phoenix coronet and robes, and slowly said, "But what’s the point in your persistence?"

"Since the first Palace Master of Qingxiao Palace, to give the humans outside a glimmer of hope, you opposed my breaking free of the seals and even willingly served with your body. "

"Even if I don’t leave, the demons have spread across the land. There are more than thirty of Taiyi Order. Do you think they won’t harm the human race?"

By the end of his speech, his gaze fell on the woman’s abdomen, and with a slight laugh, he said, "The Queen better not think too much and peacefully give me a Prince."

"After the Prince is born, I will order all demons not to consume humans for three years. How does that sound?"

After finishing his words, he stood up, preparing to leave the grand hall.

Having the Palace Master of the human Qingxiao Palace, the pillar of the human race in this world, bear his offspring was an insult to humanity.

He enjoyed doing so, and his subordinates followed suit.

The next moment, the woman stood up, head held high, and said aloud with conviction, "We have sealed you in this world for a million years, and that is meaningful!"

"Our human race has survived until now, and that is meaningful!"

"One day, a powerful figure from the human race will come, slay all of you, and lead our race out of this world, and that will be meaningful!"

The man’s figure slightly staggered, yet his expression did not change. Instead, he turned his head with interest toward the woman.

"All past Palace Masters of Qingxiao Palace have willingly entered the palace to become my Queens and bear me Princes, but they never spoke as you do in my presence."

"You’re interesting, but I don’t like that, so..."

His tone remained unchanged, but suddenly the grand hall was filled with a rising gale and a pervasive sense of killing intent.

The woman’s expression tightened as she stood up and faced him coldly.

The atmosphere froze at that moment.

"Report!!"

Suddenly, a hurried shout came from outside.

Then, a Demon Soldier clad in armor hurried to the grand hall’s door, knelt with both knees, and exclaimed, "An urgent report from outside! Please review it, Your Majesty!"

The man’s expression turned solemn as he turned to look at the Demon Soldier and calmly said, "Speak."

The Demon Soldier immediately looked up and quickly reported, "Someone suspected to be from the human race has descended from beyond, appearing in General Mu’s territory."

"With a single punch and a sword, he shattered Ghastly Drought City and leveled Myriad Skeleton Mountain!"

"General Mu... has also perished!"
