Free Web NovelChapter 95: Chapter 91: Fail to Uproot the Weeds! They Will Grow Again in the Spring
A male and female pair of adult Cat Demons wore wretched expressions, their faces twisted into faint, tragic smiles. Their golden pupils were locked onto Chen Xuan.
Those pupils radiated resentment, gloom, and terror... as if they wanted to dye the world blood-red, to turn everything into a hellish inferno...
They wanted every last person from the Twelve Alliances to die with Lingling.
Not a single one would be spared!
"Human, I will slice you into a thousand pieces! I’ll make you wish you were dead!"
The female Cat Demon shrieked, a piercing, mournful cry. Her body crackled as a bloody light began to faintly glow around her. An aura far more terrifying and dreadful than before erupted from her.
Sheets of blood-red mist suddenly burst forth, completely enveloping her body.
The male Cat Demon did the same. He was shrouded in a bloody light, his fur standing on end. A dense, terrifying, bloody stench poured from their bodies without end, as if a hell of gore was manifesting before their eyes.
Suddenly, the female Cat Demon let out a wretched cry and shot toward Chen Xuan like a lightning bolt. Her terrifying speed and power had more than doubled.
She had clearly used some kind of mysterious and terrifying Secret Technique.
As the female Cat Demon lunged, the male Cat Demon also let out a shrill, ear-piercing cry. He blurred into an afterimage, lunging straight for Zhou Jian and Zhao Fang. The sight made their hair stand on end, and they hastily flung the Little Cat Demon they were holding away.
Just as the male Cat Demon caught the Little Cat Demon, he suddenly heard a wretched and oddly familiar scream, as if from someone who had just witnessed something utterly terrifying.
He quickly turned to look, his golden pupils contracting in horror.
His wife, who had unleashed more than double her strength with the Secret Technique, had been run through. The human’s fist had pierced her abdomen, and she now hung limply from his arm.
Worse, the man’s fingers were wrapped around his wife’s heart, which was still beating. THUMP. THUMP.
’How is this possible?’
The male Cat Demon’s face was a mask of horrified disbelief.
The female Cat Demon’s face was contorted in pain. Hanging from Chen Xuan’s arm, she struggled feebly, her ten sharp claws raking against his limb. It was like scraping the hardest iron; sparks flew with every strike.
"I... I’m finished... Take Lingling and run... Run!"
The female Cat Demon turned her head in agony to look at her mate.
The Little Cat Demon, Lingling, her face filled with terror and her pupils constricted, screamed wretchedly, "Mother!"
"And here I thought you were actually immortal."
Chen Xuan’s voice was calm. He suddenly turned his head to look in the male Cat Demon’s direction.
’You have a Secret Technique.’
’I have a system!’
’But it seems your Secret Technique is no match for my system.’
’I’ve reached the Fifth Layer of Gang Energy.’
"You... You hid your true strength?"
The male Cat Demon was terrified, his body trembling. Without a second thought, he clutched the Little Cat Demon, turned, and fled, wanting only to escape this place at all costs.
’I will not let this human go.’
’For lifetime after lifetime, I swear I will have my revenge.’
’In ten years, or twenty, I will definitely surpass him.’
BOOM!
Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying, supreme aura erupted from behind him. Like thunder and lightning, it tore through the air with a piercing shriek. It created the illusion of pain—a stinging sensation across his skin, in his pores, deep within his flesh and blood...
It was as if he were facing a supreme god.
An immense fear enveloped his very soul, seemingly robbing him of the will to resist.
Indestructible Fist Intent!
Chen Xuan’s ultimate punch, carrying the terrifying power to sunder mountains, smashed directly toward the male Cat Demon. All the while, the female Cat Demon’s body still hung from his other arm.
The immense, terrifying power was like a thunderbolt from the heavens.
CRUNCH!
Aaargh!
A wretched scream rang out. The blow shattered the male Cat Demon’s bones and tendons, and he vomited a torrent of blood.
Half of his body instantly vaporized into a bloody mist. The thick gore sprayed all over the Little Cat Demon, who, terrified beyond measure, felt her very soul tremble. A sharp scream of "AHHHH!" tore from her throat as her body was sent flying along with her father’s.
THUD!
The male Cat Demon’s body slammed into the ground in the distance. Half of him was completely gone. His mouth opened and closed as he struggled for breath, but only blood gurgled out...
"...Run... Run..."
The male Cat Demon said, his voice a difficult, blurry rasp.
"Father... Father..."
The Little Cat Demon, having crashed nearby, scrambled up in terror. She looked at her father’s mangled body and cried out to him again and again.
But soon, a large, imposing shadow fell over her.
The Little Cat Demon looked up in terror.
Chen Xuan’s tall, powerful frame now stood before her. His eyes, clear and indifferent, looked down on her from on high.
Beneath that gaze, the Little Cat Demon trembled with such immense fear that she didn’t even dare to breathe.
"Don’t... Don’t kill me... I... I like you. I’m a cat-girl! You can keep me! I’ll be your maid, I’ll do anything..."
The Little Cat Demon wept in agony, dropping to her knees and crying out desperately.
"A demon is a demon."
Chen Xuan’s voice was devoid of emotion.
The Little Cat Demon’s pupils constricted, and she let out a terrified scream.
A large shadow descended, enveloping her body.
SMASH!
The sound thundered as the ground shook.
Shards of stone flew everywhere.
The two bodies now lay perfectly still.
[You have successively killed three man-eating Cat Demons, filling your heart with satisfaction. +10,000 retribution points!]
The crowd was aghast, utterly shocked.
Three powerful Cat Demons, completely wiped out by their new Foreign Affairs Envoy just like that?
’This is terrifying!’
"We surrender! All of us at Shangguan Castle surrender!"
"Elder Chen, this has nothing to do with us! It was Shangguan Ao who colluded with the Cat Demons! I didn’t know anything!"
"Spare me! I didn’t know!"
All of Shangguan Castle’s retainers and disciples were screaming in terror.
For them, this was no different than the sky falling.
"Cough, cough..." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
On the ground, the nearly dead master of the castle, Shangguan Ao, coughed with difficulty, his miserable face covered in blood...
’He never imagined the two Cat Demons would be so utterly outmatched...’
’What kind of monster has the Twelve Alliances produced?’
"Chen Xuan, I have a secret. Do you want to know it?"
Shangguan Ao said, his voice wretched and weak.
"Speak."
Chen Xuan strode over, his tone as cold and indifferent as his condescending gaze.
"Spare... spare the retainers and disciples... They had nothing to do with this..."
Shangguan Ao’s words came with great difficulty, bloody froth bubbling from his lips. "Be careful... of Qin Wushuang... He wrote to me... told me to kill you... He... he’s connected to the demons..."
"Thanks."
Chen Xuan stomped down. With a sickening crunch, he crushed the life out of Shangguan Ao.
’Elder Qin...’
’Now the bad blood between us runs even deeper.’
"Take a head count! Begin processing the surrender!"
Chen Xuan’s tone was flat as he turned to face the crowd.
"Yes, Foreign Affairs Envoy Chen!"
The masters from the Twelve Alliances finally snapped out of it, rushing forward to deal with the crowd kneeling on the ground.
The former members of Shangguan Castle were terrified. They knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to move a muscle.
The events of the day had been too great a shock.
Shangguan Castle was finished.
And they were all finished, too.
"Boss, should we pull them out by the roots?"
Zhou Jian appeared at Chen Xuan’s side, his eyes glinting as he whispered.
’The retainers and disciples could be spared.’
’But Shangguan Ao’s direct blood relatives... if they’re left alive, there’s no guarantee they won’t cause trouble later...’
"Do you even need to ask?"
Chen Xuan said coolly, glancing at him.
’Shangguan Castle has stood for so many years. Heaven knows how many evil deeds they’ve committed...’
’Now the day of reckoning has come. Do they think a simple surrender can wipe the slate clean?’
’Accepting their surrender only applies to the retainers.’
’As for his direct bloodline... they have my apologies.’
’They say disaster shouldn’t extend to the children. But that’s only if prosperity didn’t extend to them first.’
’If they shared in the prosperity, they will share in the ruin.’
"Yes, Boss!"
Zhou Jian’s eyes turned cold. He understood immediately.
Chen Xuan strode away, heading into the depths of Shangguan Castle.
[You have destroyed a major power in South City that secretly colluded with demons and harmed humans, an exceptionally satisfying deed. +14,000 retribution points!]
