Chapter 117: Chapter 116: The female hero and Young Hero, today they both need to Demon Exterminate! (Request for Subscription)

Zhu Yan Manor is beautiful, even though deep autumn has arrived, flowers here still bloom in profusion.

Hot spring water from the mountain is channeled into the manor, steaming warmly, and momentarily, a mist envelops everything, making it seem like a fairyland.

Compared to Yuzhu Villa, it would be an understatement to say one is in the heavens and the other is underground.

But at this moment, the beauty of this fairy-like place is shattered.

"Old Demon Duan is here!"

"Fall back!"

"Man the crossbows!"

With a loud bang, a tiled corridor was sliced apart by a swirl of Sword Qi.

Following that, the bodies of two members from the Zhu Family were also torn apart.

Fresh corpses floated in the hot spring water, staining it with a swath of crimson.

Amidst the rising dust, Duan Yun, sword in his right hand, lifting a human head with his left, approached.

Under the enhancement of the Beiming Divine Skill, the face of the head he held had become blurred.

Around Duan Yun, over ten Zhu Family members wielding weapons paced in terror, not daring to come close.

What a scene of a young hero battling a horde of demons!

For a moment, Duan Yun felt as though he was inside the martial arts dramas he watched as a child, having become the protagonist himself!

Inspired by this, a heroic spirit boiled within him, filling the heavens and the earth.

Seeing that the man saturated by the Beiming Divine Skill had his features become even more indistinct, he shouted "I want to be a Hero!", his head tilted sideways, and he passed out.

"He was influenced by the supreme heroic spirit after such a long absorption; clearly, his enlightenment is very low."

Duan Yun flicked his hand, and the body of the Zhu Family member smashed onto the ground, landing unfortunately with the back of his skull hitting first.

Thus, he died.

"Ah, he even committed suicide out of shame; there’s a bit of repentance."

In the next moment, all the death energy from the Zhu Family member’s corpse entered Duan Yun’s belt.

Even though Jade Sword Immortal did not reveal his Dharma Image, he had absorbed the death energy of dozens of lives, and his Netherworld energy surged tremendously!

Thus, at a glance, a terrifying Netherworld aura emanated around Old Demon Duan, ready to devour anyone.

When people of the Martial World talked about Zhu Yan Manor with changed color, to Duan Yun it felt like entering an uninhabited land.

Clank, clank, clank, clank!

A series of sounds from mechanical turning erupted, and Duan Yun suddenly had a dangerous premonition.

"Fire!"

With a loud boom, a platform hidden behind tree branches at a high point shook, dislodging countless specks of dust.

A dark shadow with a burning flame at its front sped straight toward him!

The sound of it tearing through the air was like thunder, creating a huge wind tunnel in the air, the momentum astonishing.

A siege crossbow!

The massive arrow came extremely quickly; even if Duan Yun wanted to dodge, it was too late.

"Breaking Body Sword Energy!"

Without any hesitation, the Breaking Body Sword Energy within Duan Yun burst forth, merging with the Death Energy.

For a moment, his front was enveloped by a buzzing Sword Mist.

With a loud explosion!

The Breaking Body Sword Energy and the siege crossbow met, the air exploding, distorting and transforming into a series of white torrents.

The ground where Duan Yun stood sank two feet, and the stone slabs behind him flew up like paper.

In places unseen by ordinary people, the black Breaking Body Sword Energy shredded and decomposed the howling crossbow arrow.

Yet, being as sudden and thunderous as the crossbow arrow, capable of breaching city walls, Duan Yun got injured.

Unable to decompose completely, the tail end of the arrow shaft struck Duan Yun’s arm, drawing a string of blood beads, then was shredded by the continuously swelling Breaking Body Sword Energy.

The skin was broken!

No, even more severe, he had lost at least ten drops of blood!

Considering that one drop of essence equals ten drops of blood, this was akin to injuring his very essence.

"Not bad, this force is strong enough!"

"Come at me again!"

The two crossbowmen on the high platform, upon hearing a sudden buzzing sound, were suddenly penetrated by the black Breaking Body Sword Energy, their torsos becoming riddled like a honeycomb.

Along with them, the fairly large siege crossbow also became riddled with holes.

Mounting a siege crossbow inside the manor, especially a hidden one, was an idea Zhu Heimian got from Tang Family Castle.

He had always been very satisfied with this.

Indeed, the siege crossbow had a miraculous effect this time, injuring Duan Yun’s essence.

"I’ve hurt my essence, can’t you see?"

Suddenly, Duan Yun turned to look at the Zhu Family members gathered around him.

"Quick...ah!"

Before the leader could utter "Run!", a buzzing sound swelled, and his legs became riddled with holes!

After killing the crossbowmen, the Breaking Body Sword Energy returned with Death Energy!

In a snap, eight out of the ten minions present were slaughtered.

Duan Yun placed his hands on the heads of the two surviving minions, channeling the Beiming Divine Skill!

Hmm, this Young Hero lost ten drops of blood, time to replenish!

In an instant, both Death Energy and True Qi converged towards Duan Yun.

Duan Yun continued to walk forward.

...

The guest hall of Zhu Yan Manor was vast.

It was like a cave dug almost halfway into a mountain, with a huge skylight above that scattered the daylight.

Inside the guest hall, exquisite, plush carpets covered the floor and dimly lit crimson candles created a festive atmosphere.

This was originally the best birthday gift from Zhu Wumian to the Second Lady, but someone had to spoil the mood.

Zhu Wumian sat there with closed eyes, his demeanor calm and composed, resembling a meditating old monk.

Influenced by him, everyone else gradually settled down, some drinking, others eating.

Even though Old Demon Duan was here, this was Zhu Yan Manor after all, presumably no storm can be stirred up...

Boom!

The vermillion door burst open, and amidst the dust, a mangled figure flew in.

It was Zhu Wumian’s trusted messenger who had come to report.

He opened his mouth and, while spitting blood, said: "Old Demon Duan, he... he’s come!"

"Old Demon Duan has some nerve! Daring to come here!"

"Brothers, let’s stand together and kill him as a celebration gift for the Second Lady..."

Boom! Before this man, trying to curry favor with Zhu Wumian, could finish his speech, his head was penetrated by a silvery-white Sword Qi, trailing a stream of blood.

He was quite strong, quickly circulating his True Qi to stop the bleeding.

But the next moment, his head tilted, and he was sucked into the billowing dust by a strange force!

Two breaths later, he reappeared in everyone’s sight, his body floating.

His head was firmly grasped by Duan Yun’s palm, held aloft in an inverted position.

As he was drawn in by the strange force, his face blurred, and the blood on his head coated his features monstrously.

"Old Demon Duan!"

Someone cried out, and the crowd instinctively retreated, trying to shield themselves with others.

As Duan Yun sucked on the retainer, he stepped down the stairs.

"Trying to gang up on this Young Hero? Put some effort into it."

"Don’t be shy, I can take it."

Upon saying this, no one dared to step forward.

Duan Yun continued, looking towards Zhu Heimian and the Second Lady Chen Ying at the head table.

Eventually, his gaze settled on Zhu Heimian and he said: "Zhu Heimian, I’ve come to be tortured by you into a non-human form, or perhaps, to torture you and your wife into a non-human form."

Hearing the words "your wife," Zhu Heimian’s eyes snapped open!

His eyes were bright, shining like ferocious mouths, as if ready to devour.

In that moment, Chen Ying stepped forward first, her face full of heroic spirit saying: "I heard this Demon masquerades as a young hero spreading harm in the Martial World and your Jade Sword Sect causing chaos everywhere, you’ve even dirtied the term ’female hero.’"

"Today, this Heroine shall slay demons and rectify the name of heroism!"

"Hus..."

Zhu Heimian couldn’t finish his words, as Chen Ying interrupted him proudly saying: "This Heroine’s Huangshan Golden Sword has never tasted defeat since its creation, today it shall make you, Demon, bleed and die!"

Duan Yun snapped the neck of the Zhu Family retainer in his hand with a click, his expression growing darker, and said: "Don’t you know, it’s impolite for a mad woman to rudely interrupt others’ speeches!"

"Mad Woman! Let this Young Hero show you what true Demon Extermination is!"

For a moment, Chen Ying’s expression shifted to one of murderous intent.

Both parties, one self-proclaimed as a Heroine and the other as a Young Hero, one calling the other an old demon, the other calling her a mad woman, each touched a nerve in the other.

Thus, at this moment, both sides were intent on killing each other, the more brutally, the better!

Zhu Wumian stood up, clearly about to intervene, but at that moment, Chen Ying sternly said, "Don’t you trust this Heroine’s ability?"

"Zhu Wumian, if you dare to interfere with my slaying of demons today, this Heroine will never love you again!"

Zhu Wumian pondered for a moment, then sat back down, remarking, "Be careful, my Lady."

"Hmph!"

Confidently, Chen Ying drew her sword.

A sword as golden as gold.

While Duan Yun drew his blade, a very gentle blade...
