Chapter 273: Chapter 41 Rescue

Lin Yuan sensed the presence of the demon, his feet never stopping, instantly darting towards the nearest location.

Thirty breaths later.

Bang!

A sound of explosion echoed, booming from a mud house in a village.

Only to see the water demon instantly transform into countless bits of flesh, sticking to the mud wall like paste.

With a look of gratitude from this family, Lin Yuan did not linger, once again rushing towards the next presence of a water demon.

Before long, Lin Yuan arrived again.

Crunch, crunch.

It was a water demon chewing on a woman’s leg bone. Her body had already been completely devoured.

Lin Yuan’s eyes suddenly reddened: "Beast, die!"

Instantly, a crimson lotus mark abruptly appeared on his palm.

He only felt like fury was bursting forth, and a few strands of violence emerged unbidden.

Boom!

Like the sound of cannon fire, the demon collided with the lotus mark technique and exploded instantly.

Then a dazzling white light suddenly flashed, the demon’s dark red eyes only reflecting a glint before silently turning into countless black ashes.

The air was still thick with the smell of burning.

After finishing all this, Lin Yuan looked over the situation of this family, sighing inwardly.

"I’m late."

This farmhouse’s family of four had already been completely consumed by the demon.

Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Yuan did not linger, shooting towards another location.

Finally, after approximately the time of an incense stick.

The water demons slain by Lin Yuan numbered forty to fifty.

At this moment he already understood, these water demons were merely the lowest tier of water demons. In terms of strength, they were at the Qi-Blood level, slightly stronger than the academy entry-level disciples.

These water demons could be crushed by a mere finger from him. But for these ordinary villagers, they were extremely difficult to deal with.

In the village training ground, Lin Yuan frowned and asked: "Didn’t the academy arrange for disciples to support?"

Lin Yuan estimated that sending someone with substantial Qi-Blood level strength here would barely be able to handle these demons.

"Young hero, the incident happened suddenly, I fear the academy is still resisting the water demons on the front lines, unable to dispatch personnel. Moreover, our village is the furthest from the Black Dragon Pool, also attacked by the water demons. I fear the outbreak of water demons this year is exceptionally fierce."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, seeing a trace of respect flash in the elder’s eyes before him.

It was nothing, from this elder, he saw a glimpse of the old village chief.

"Start arranging personnel and begin heading towards Ningping Town. After the water demon menace is eliminated, return."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then instructed.

"Thank you, young hero, for your assistance, on behalf of everyone in Xindong Village, we thank you."

The elder’s eyes were moist, speaking as he tried to kneel before Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan hurriedly supported him, solemnly saying: "Don’t delay any longer, I still need to rescue other places, organize your people swiftly and set off."

After speaking, Lin Yuan did not linger, in a flash, heading towards the river outside the village.

He had just learned that this Ba Yin River’s source is the Black Dragon Pool, belonging to its tributary, and most water demons follow the river downstream, attacking villages along the riverbank.

Now he moves upstream, just in time to rescue along the way.

By dusk, Lin Yuan arrived at another village.

This village suffered from a greater number of water demon attacks, almost reaching eighty water demons.

The village residents had almost temporarily formed a squad, guarding the shrine entrance, fighting against the demons.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan arrived in time, after exterminating all the demons, he once again moved upstream.

Two days later.

Lin Yuan almost rested only three hours a day, spending the rest of his time rescuing various villages.

Although the water demons weren’t particularly strong, Lin Yuan could easily kill them. But after three days, he appeared increasingly cold.

Because the surrounding villages had been completely occupied by demons. Many villages were nearly empty.

This morning, when Lin Yuan arrived at another village.

Here was rare for a few traces of human presence to appear.

He saw a young man in a black robe with about five people, fighting against twenty demons.

"Brother Ni, hold on." Seeing the black-robed disciple cutting off a demon’s head, he quickly turned back and rushed towards a disciple of weaker strength.

The team he led, Brother Ni’s strength was the weakest, if injured, under such a heavy demon attack, he would definitely die here.

The black-robed disciple’s figure wanted to reach Brother Ni’s side within a breath.

But in the next moment, a sudden change arose.

At some unknown time, a fish-eyed water demon appeared suddenly beside the black-robed disciple.

The demon’s upper body was not a rat’s head, but a jet-black crocodile’s head, with razor-sharp teeth gleaming with cold light on the huge jaws.

Bang!

The monster instantly opened its mouth wide, fiercely biting towards the black-robed disciple.

Feeling the sudden emergence of killing intent, the black-robed disciple was shocked.

"Not good, it’s a Tier-one crocodile demon!"

The black-robed disciple instantly broke out in cold sweat.

A Tier-one water demon was equivalent to a Martial Artist’s Coalescing Yuan level, similar in rank to him. Moreover, the demon’s thick skin and tough flesh naturally posed an advantage over human martial artists. Its weakness was merely its intelligence was not as agile as humans.

But the Tier-one crocodile demon belonged to one of the most difficult Tier-one creatures to deal with. This situation made the black-robed disciple’s expression much more grave.

In a flash, at the corner of his eye, he already saw the scissor-like jaws coming straight for his waist.

Crunch.

The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.

The left arm broke, the extreme pain stimulating his brain, the black-robed disciple let out a muffled groan: "Such a beast, actually knows how to ambush."

But he didn’t dare to hesitate, a broken arm was better than being ripped open by the crocodile demon.

Watching the arm bitten tightly by the crocodile demon.

Slash!

The black-robed disciple’s right hand flashed, swiftly cutting viciously towards the crocodile demon’s eyes.

Yet the demon showed a trace of something sinister in its eyes, suddenly releasing the bitten arm, retreating back into the group of monsters.

Seeing the strike fail, and surrounded by countless other demons, the black-robed disciple hastily raised his sword, once again killing other demons.

After chopping down three demons, the elite black-robed disciple suddenly turned pale.

"That damned crocodile demon actually has this kind of intelligence!"

At this point, his calf was almost severely injured again, if he hadn’t constantly kept an eye on the crocodile demon’s ambushes, his calf would’ve been devoured by the crocodile demon.

"Is it today that I will die here?"

A trace of sadness suddenly emerged in the black-robed disciple’s heart, heavily wounded himself, and several junior disciples were trapped, besieged by numerous demons.

"Ah! Beasts, all die for me!"

The black-robed disciple had no more time to think, with his back torn, he couldn’t help but forcefully suppress his grief and rage, fiercely fighting.

Swish, swish, swish!

Three sword lights slashed across, chopping down three ordinary water demons.

"In this state, that crocodile demon must have noticed."

The black-robed disciple panted heavily, his sword tip dripping with demon blood, eyes fixed intensely on that crocodile demon.

At this moment, his internal energy was almost drained, his Sword Intent no longer sharp, his state close to the end of his rope.

Only to see the crocodile demon reveal a trace of humanlike ruthlessness, instantly transforming into a shadow, pouncing fiercely towards the black-robed disciple.

"Maybe, this is destiny."

The black-robed disciple stared intensely at the pouncing crocodile demon, seeing its wide-open jaws, powerless to resist.

But just as he was about to face death.

A violent gust of wind instantly exploded three feet in front of him.

Boom!

He felt a powerful force almost pushing him back a yard. He hurriedly channeled his Qi-Blood, barely able to stand firm.

At this moment, his face was covered with mashed crocodile flesh. The pink mush stained his entire black robe red.

Yet his face was full of incredulity.

"What force is this? Who is still here, able to save me?"

He wiped away the flesh from his face.

Only to see a young man slowly walking towards them.
