Free Web NovelChapter 2168: Chapter 2169: The Joy of Picking Up Loot!
On the ancient city, everyone was excited by the martial artist’s attack on the emperor abyss demon.
Because the attack by the martial artist was part of the plan, and it actually succeeded.
"Great, with the emperor abyss demon dead, the pressure here will be greatly reduced instantly."
"Without an emperor-level abyss demon, no matter how many other abyss demons there are, I’ll kill them all."
"Let’s see who can kill more."
People were discussing, with the death of the emperor abyss demon, many of the abyss demons behind it all instinctively stopped. Without a leader, they were nothing more than scattered forces.
Just as everyone was rejoicing, suddenly, the sound of discussions halted in an instant because the emperor abyss demon wasn’t dead, it reappeared.
Only to see this emperor abyss demon, half of its body scorched, with only one wing flapping, hovering in midair.
Sizzle...
The half-destroyed body was enveloped in light, as if countless silkworm threads were interweaving, and soon after, the wound rapidly healed, and the lost half of the body quickly grew back.
On the ancient city wall, everyone was rendered speechless, and the icy cold gaze of the emperor abyss demon made everyone shudder, sensing a bone-chilling fear.
The martial artist pressed the button again without hesitation.
Bang!
Another beam of light shot out, engulfing the emperor abyss demon once more.
Did it hit this time?
People widened their eyes, waiting for the result.
As the brightness faded, the figure of the emperor abyss demon was still there in the sky, causing everyone’s hearts to sink.
Then they saw clearly, the projectile the martial artist had fired was actually caught by the emperor abyss demon, a black sphere was in the emperor abyss demon’s hand.
Poof!
The black sphere was crushed into powder in the emperor abyss demon’s hand, scattering in the wind, and witnessing this scene, everyone’s heart grew even colder.
Is it really impossible for them to deal with an emperor level abyss demon by themselves?
The martial artist tossed the weapon aside; it posed no threat to the emperor abyss demon. The emperor abyss demon was too strong, beyond what they could contend with.
Even using their trump card was futile.
"Be careful."
People behind the martial artist shouted because the emperor abyss demon counterattacked, it was very angry, especially towards the martial artist, showing intense killing intent.
Everyone felt the bone-chilling killing intent of the emperor abyss demon.
The martial artist smiled bitterly; he wanted to leave, but facing the emperor abyss demon’s lock-on, he couldn’t leave, and even if he could, what then? If the emperor abyss demon charged in, more people would be doomed.
Swish.
In the blink of an eye, the emperor abyss demon was in front of the martial artist, its sharp claws about to grab the martial artist’s neck.
At that moment, suddenly a figure blocked in front of the martial artist.
The emperor abyss demon retreated abruptly.
It sensed danger.
"Who is he?"
To everyone, this sudden person was very unfamiliar, until the Turquoise Pool spoke, revealing the person’s identity: "Greetings to the Order Keeper."
It’s the Order Keeper!
Hearing this, everyone felt invigorated. Besides Jialuo, Pu Zhen, there was a third Order Keeper!
The elder nodded, turned his head slightly, and told everyone, "Leave it to me, the rest is up to you."
Having said that, the elder charged towards the emperor abyss demon.
Although the emperor abyss demon was wary of the elder, it wasn’t to the point of fear. Seeing the elder charge, it roared and charged back.
With the roar of the emperor abyss demon, all the other abyss demons moved, flying one after another towards the ancient city.
The battle began.
Normal abyss demons were basically cannon fodder, rushing to their death; only the king level abyss demons posed a threat to those on the ancient city.
The martial artist turned into a weapon arsenal, his hands capable of transforming into all sorts of modern weapons, blasting large numbers of abyss demons before they could even approach. In this section of the city wall, the martial artist’s destructive power was greatest, killing the most abyss demons.
Ye Qiu didn’t rush, anyway, there were plenty of abyss demons, let those abyss demons attack first.
The martial artist that day clearly hadn’t used his full strength; now it seems, when he teamed up with Taiyi and the Stone Demon Lord, it was nothing more than perfunctory, otherwise with his current combat power, he’d have had trouble.
Hmm?
What surprised Ye Qiu was that the Turquoise Pool had also joined the ranks of the Supreme Saints.
This was quite unexpected for him. At this moment, the number of abyss demons slain by Turquoise Pool was just a little less than the martial artist, mainly because the martial artist’s attack range was wide, like a machine gun shooting, capable of mowing down a large area.
Turquoise Pool, on the other hand, slayed with swordsmanship. After entering the ranks of the Supreme Saints, her swordsmanship became stronger, previously the swordsmanship of the Saint Heir Taiyi left a deep impression on him, and seeing the Turquoise Pool’s swordsmanship today also became extraordinary.
Turquoise Pool’s swordsmanship was more like flowing water, seemingly gentle, yet killing invisibly.
A light sweep could cut through the skin of the king abyss demon, powerful indeed.
Watching the battle for a while, suddenly Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up—right, with so many abyss demons being slain, he could totally collect their cores. Although the cores of the king level won’t add much to his current strength, it’s still better than nothing, and it’s useful for exchanging military merit points in the future.
"This is a great opportunity, you kill the enemies, I’ll collect the cores." With a decision made in his mind, Ye Qiu pretended to attack, and upon reaching the base of the city wall, he pretended to be injured, running to the side of numerous abyss demon corpses and began collecting cores.
After an abyss demon is killed, its body will slowly turn to water, leaving only the core, so Ye Qiu picked them up with ease.
Just like picking up stones.
In less than the time for half an incense stick to burn, Ye Qiu collected over a thousand cores, were he to kill that many abyss demons, it would require a lot of effort, but now, he got the cores effortlessly.
Looking up, he saw the people on the city wall still fighting hard against the abyss demons.
In the end, he couldn’t even be bothered to pick up the ordinary abyss demons’ cores, there were just too many, he began focusing on picking up the king demons’ cores.
Another hour passed, Ye Qiu noticed the appearances of king demon cores in this area were slowing down, likely because the people on the wall had their power waning, and the battle was weakening as well, making it harder for them to kill the king demons.
Ye Qiu wasn’t having it, this wouldn’t do; their rate of killing demons wasn’t even as fast as his core collection rate.
While leisurely waiting for more king cores to appear, Ye Qiu slapped his forehead—right, why should he stay here? This ancient city doesn’t only face one direction; he had other directions to keep collecting cores.
"That’s right, the front of the ancient city is the most intense battlefield, the cores there should be the most plentiful."
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu felt his hands itching, he had become addicted to picking up cores, and these were entirely free, requiring hardly any effort.
Thus, Ye Qiu began sweeping another part of the battlefield, where a large number of cores awaited him to collect.
"Set off!"
Ye Qiu was full of vigor, ready to continue the grand task of core collection to the end.
On the battlefield, a sneaky demon figure was sticking close to the base of the wall, constantly picking up the cores on the ground, unnoticed by either the warriors on the wall or the abyss demons, this somewhat shady figure moved unobserved.
