Free Web NovelChapter 553: Chapter 385: The Emergence of the Great Demon, Chaos Descends! (Double-Length)
"Such a vicious blade, it stabs my heart with pain..."
The woman’s laughter seemed to echo from all directions into Hu Tomb’s ears, eerie and haunting.
In the next moment, Demon Qi and Blood Qi gathered again, manifesting the woman’s form.
The Flying Saber followed closely, aimed once more at the red-dressed woman.
The woman blinked, and from the blood Qi swirling around her, arrows of blood suddenly shot out, continuously striking the Flying Saber.
The Flying Saber was deflected, spinning around before returning, only to be struck away again by the bloody arrows.
"Demoness, meet your demise!"
An elderly and powerful voice rolled over from the sky, causing many demons in the sky to explode and die instantly.
Quickly following, a golden Great Palm Seal descended from the heavens, aiming to smash the red-dressed woman.
The woman’s face remained with a gentle smile until the Great Palm Seal shattered her body once more.
"Two Grandmasters gathering, it truly is flattering for me."
Miles away, the red-dressed woman reformed again, still smiling and speaking leisurely, seemingly not anxious at all.
An old man’s figure descended, giving a cold snort as he glared at the red-dressed woman.
"Chu Family Patriarch, don’t talk too much with her, let’s team up and destroy her!" Hu Tomb was unwilling to say more and directly sent a team-up invitation to the old man.
"Hehe, I’m also very curious about the so-called Grandmaster Blood, what magical properties it might hold..." The red-dressed woman showed no fear, chuckling lightly.
...
After a night passed, a piece of news came, causing tremors across various regions.
The major city of Donghua City, located on Cui Bai Dao, was attacked by a Great Demon, and the City Defense Array lasted less than a minute before breaking down.
The blood Qi of millions of people in the city was forcibly seized and devoured by the Great Demon!
Fortunately, Hu Tomb and the Chu Family Patriarch from the main city intervened, driving away the Great Demon, preventing the millions in Donghua City from being completely turned into its blood supply.
However, even so, and the final casualty statistics within the large city weren’t any less shocking.
More than 300,000 people died being drained of blood Qi, and more than 2 million people suffered loss of blood Qi due to the Great Demon’s arrival and needed proper recovery!
As for the remaining people, most suffered some loss of blood Qi, but not as severe.
Regardless, just looking at the death and injury of tens or millions of people shows how terrifying the Great Demon truly is!
If that day Hu Tomb and the Chu Family Patriarch had not arrived in time, or had come later, the entire Donghua City might have perished because of it.
More citizens would have had their blood Qi taken away.
Song Changming and others, far away in Minggu City, were quite reflective upon hearing this news.
Even though Donghua City was preserved, a loss at such a level of casualties means certain damage to Primordial Qi.
It was nearly, that the whole city was ravaged.
In past folk tales, Great Demons are often depicted as the ultimate bosses.
Whenever a Great Demon appears, the world is bound to descend into chaos.
Disaster, destruction, fear, despair, reflecting on earth!
This is the ordinary civilians’ inherent image memory of the Great Demon.
The power of the Great Demon has deeply embedded itself.
Now, a Great Demon reappears, intensifying this dreadful image among the people.
"Merely defensive measures, putting out fires all over, always seem slower than the enemy’s destruction." In the military camp, Song Changming finished listening to his personal guard Rongjiang’s report and couldn’t help but sheathe his saber and shake his head.
It’s far too easy for a Great Demon to indulge in havoc.
The only ones who can truly confront a Great Demon are the Grandmaster level Human Race powerhouses, and even the Human Race Grandmasters find it difficult to kill a Great Demon on the spot, further letting Great Demons rampage unrestrained.
At present, besides Cui Bai Main City, no other large city can rest easy.
Even with the Cuiqi Army guarding the city, confronting a Great Demon still leaves no sufficient means to handle it effectively.
For now, Minggu City has already repelled a Kang Jin Rat King, making this area seemingly safe.
No other Great Demons should invade for a while.
On this day, atop the barren mountain beyond the city.
Song Changming stood alone on the mountaintop, eyes closed, holding his saber, with Gang Qi swirling around, resonating in the wind.
A profoundly strong Sword Intent grew within him, gathering momentum for an eruption.
His personal guard Rongjiang observed from afar, admiring Song Changming’s formidable expertise in Sword Tao.
Just this powerful Sword Intent alone was enough to command his respect and inspire admiration in the majority of swordsmen.
[First Grade crimson Cloud Saber Technique: Not at Basic Level (10000/10000)]
On the panel, the proficiency of the crimson Cloud Saber technique had reached its peak.
With the foundation of Sword Tao laid, now attaining a Basic level in a set of Saber Techniques wouldn’t be a difficult task for him.
Even if it’s a profound First Grade Saber Technique.
Once the Sword Intent fully coalesces, it’s like a sudden burst, an invisible fire igniting with it.
The Changshou Saber in his hand faintly glowed a hint of red.
Gang Qi around him was drawn by the Sword Intent, completely enveloping onto the blade.
Buzz!
Energy surged, a hurricane erupted from his surroundings, howling atop the mountain!
At this moment, the blade of the Changshou Saber seemed wrapped in solid magma, currents of heat emanating from it, continuously vaporizing the air.
Song Changming suddenly opened his fiery eyes, moved his figure, and slashed out a strike.
As the blade fell, the violent and scorching Sword Might seemed to tear the space apart, like the center of an explosion, warping with high temperature!
Simultaneously, an enormous Sword Qi towering nearly a hundred meters flew towards the distant void.
On the mountaintop, the earth impacted and cracked open, leaving a massive saber scar as large boulders tumbled down the mountain.
