Chapter 74 - 74: The Director’s Order, Kill Without Mercy!



At the border town, Gaoyang County, of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The escort leader, Wu Sandao, said, “Lord Zhuang, Gaoyang County is not far ahead. This is the only county city within 100 miles. It’s already late, so we should rest in the county city for a night and continue to escort the goods tomorrow.”

Upon hearing the former’s words, the wealthy merchant, Zhuang Ping, was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from the forest.

“If I were you, I would turn around and head back from where you came now. This is because Gaoyang County is no longer a place you can go to.”

“Who are you?”

Wu Sandao instantly turned his head, then pulled out a blade engraved with a ghost head at his waist and assumed an attacking posture.

He was not the only one. The 30 escorts of the entire caravan had also drawn their weapons and had serious looks on their faces.

It was no wonder that they were so alarmed. After all, it was not a good thing to suddenly meet a stranger in the middle of the night in the wilderness.

Not to mention that they were escorts who were transporting goods. They were already tense to begin with.

They were always on guard against mountain bandits, demons, and ghosts that could appear at any time.

That’s right, as escorts who traveled all year round, although they did not have much cultivation, their horizons were not something that ordinary people could compare to. They had also encountered demons and ghosts.

However, as a country of the mortal world controlled by the Qingyun Sect, the Great Xia Kingdom only had small demons within its territory.

It was not that there were no great demons, but there were definitely not many of them.

Once these great demons were discovered by the people of the Devil Slayers Division, their fate would often be very miserable.

The great demons imprisoned in the dungeon of the Devil Slayers Division were prime examples.

Although some of the small demons were not something ordinary people could deal with, for the escorts who were full of blood qi, they were not an insurmountable problem.

Due to the darkness of the night, the escorts were temporarily unable to figure out what was the source of the voice they heard.

Although the language that person spoke was the official language of the Great Xia Kingdom, being able to speak meant nothing. Some demons could speak too!

Finally, under the anxious gazes of the escorts, a two-meter-tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

The other party wore a golden mask, and on it was carved a ferocious looking Lion-ape.

Escort Leader Wu Sandao seemed to recall something when he saw the black robe worn by the other party.

In an astonished voice, he exclaimed, “You’re a devil-slaying practitioner?!”

Hearing that the other party was a devil-slaying practitioner, the escorts immediately relaxed.

Although ordinary people feared the devil-slaying practitioners like they feared a fierce tiger, the escorts worshiped them.

This was because most escorts who traveled all year round had been saved by devil-slaying practitioners before when encountering demons and monsters.

Therefore, when they saw the devil-slaying practitioner, it was as if they were looking at their savior.

When the escorts saw the golden mask of the Lion-ape, they understood that this practitioner was no ordinary practitioner. Therefore, their attitude towards him became even more respectful.

As for whether the Lion-ape practitioner was faking their identity, they had no doubts about it.

This was because impersonating a practitioner in the Great Xia Kingdom was a capital offense.

Once someone was discovered doing so, they would have to leave the kingdom.

Otherwise, what awaited them was the endless pursuit of the Devil Slayers Division.

After their initial excitement, the escorts’ hearts became heavy.

Wu Sandao walked up to the Lion-ape practitioner and asked tentatively, “Sir, if I may ask, what has happened in Gaoyang County?”

Just as the Lion-ape practitioner looked at him and was about to reply, the former suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance, as if he had sensed something in the shadows.

A voice said, “Kekeke… I didn’t expect that a Devil Slayers Division’s gold-rank great practitioner would come.”

Another voice replied, “I told you we shouldn’t have eaten those two silver-rank practitioners. Haven’t we just provoked those we shouldn’t have provoked?”

“Hey, how dare you criticize me? You’re talking as if you weren’t there when we ate those two silver-rank practitioners.”

Under the Lion-ape practitioner’s calm gaze, two burly figures slowly emerged from the shadows.

They were half-human and half-demon. Not only were they three meters tall, but they also had shiny bald heads.

They looked like monks yet did not resemble monks at the same time. They were very strange.

In addition, there were centipede-like blood-colored patterns on their skin.

Not only did the two of them look very strange, but evil auras emanated from their entire beings.

These two were the innate monsters that Chen De had released, the Blood Warrior Monks.

The two Blood Warrior Monks finally stopped 100 meters away from the Lion-ape practitioner and did not continue approaching him.

Meanwhile, the escorts around the Lion-ape practitioner retreated in fear when they saw the two Blood Warrior Monks.

The Lion-ape practitioner looked at the two of them and said indifferently, “Are you two the demons that massacred all the citizens of Gaoyang County?”

After hearing the Lion-ape practitioner’s words, the two Blood Warrior Monks looked at each other and revealed their ferocious bloody teeth as they laughed proudly.

“If you’re talking about those crying mortals, then yes, that was our doing.”

“However, Lord Gold-rank, you’re wrong about one thing. We did not just eat the people of Gaoyang County. The two of us ate everyone within a hundred miles of the county.”

“So, what of it? What are you going to do to the two of us?”

Looking at their unrestrained appearances, the Lion-ape practitioner remained unperturbed.

However, his body had already begun to emit a faint surge of inborn vitality.

A majestic power of blood qi was emitted along with his inborn vitality.

All of a sudden, the escorts behind seemed to see an illusion of a huge white Lion-ape appear behind the gold-rank Lion-ape practitioner.

At this moment, he was like a real Lion-ape that had emerged from the forest. His aura was astonishing.

Looking at the unscrupulous Blood Warrior Monks, the Lion-ape practitioner’s tone was filled with disgust as he said, “You’re neither human nor ghost. You don’t have much ability, but you are quite capable at running your mouth.”

Hearing the Lion-ape practitioner’s mockery, one of the Blood Warrior Monks suddenly laughed maniacally.

“Kekeke…”

He looked at the Lion-ape practitioner, who had become serious, and sneered, “You are indeed an Innate Stage martial artist. The density of your blood qi and the richness of your inborn vitality are not something that ordinary martial artists can compare to.”

“However, if you are alone, how are you going to deal with the two of us, as well as these thousands of zombies?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense rustling sound came from the surrounding forest.

In an instant, hundreds of zombies crawled out of the ground.

They looked withered; their skin rotten.

Their tattered clothes were stained with blood and mud.

Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at the Lion-ape practitioner and the escorts as if they were looking at a group of delicious prey.

The escorts had never expected that they would be standing over a pile of zombies if they advanced another 100 meters.

At the thought of this, all of them began to feel afraid.

The current situation was undoubtedly not something that they, the escorts, could resolve.

If they wanted to survive, they could only place their hopes on the devil-slaying practitioner in front of them.

Before them were thousands of zombies that were comparable to Level 1 Qi Cultivation stage cultivators and two Innate Stage monsters.

No matter how one looked at it, the Lion-ape practitioner was at a disadvantage here.

However, the two Blood Warrior Monks did not expect the Lion-ape practitioner to suddenly laugh when faced with such a dire situation.

He looked at the two Blood Warrior Monks and said with a strange expression, “I think the two of you seem to have misunderstood something. When did I say that I was alone?”

The two Blood Warrior Monks were stunned.

Bang!

After a firework exploded in the air, a large number of devil-slaying practitioners slowly walked out of the surrounding forest.

These devil-slaying practitioners were not of high grade. Most of them were iron or bronze rank, and there were only three silver-rank practitioners.

Even though their grades were low, their numbers were greater!

Including the gold-rank great practitioner, there were a total of 100 practitioners.

Usually, only two or three bronze-rank practitioners would be dispatched for a devil-slaying mission.

Now, hundreds of devil-slaying practitioners were dispatched at once, including a gold-rank great practitioner leading the way.

Ever since the Great Xia Kingdom was founded, such a scene had only appeared a few times.

Looking at the army of practitioners, one of the Blood Warrior Monks said in disbelief, “That’s impossible. We didn’t even reveal our cultivation before. Why would the Devil Slayers Division send so many people at once?”

In response, the Lion-ape practitioner smiled brightly.

However, his smile was a smile of mockery.

“If you really want to know why, then you should ask the new director.”

“Before I came here, he specifically reminded me.”

“What were his exact words again?”

“Now that I think about it, the Director said that Gaoyang County is located at the border of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the surrounding environment is complicated. To be able to kill two silver-rank practitioners in such a place, our enemies are surely not ordinary people. It’s not safe to only send out one gold-rank great practitioner, so he ordered me to bring along a few hundred people with me.”

“Bring along a few hundred people?”

The two Blood Warrior Monks were dumbfounded.

Why the f*ck would he casually bring a few hundred people along with him? Did the Devil Slayers Division not have a budget to follow? How could they send out so many people at once?

Did they empty out their headquarters?

The Lion-ape practitioner seemed to have read the Blood Warrior Monks’ minds.

He explained, “Actually, when the Director asked me to bring along a few hundred people, I had the same thoughts as you. I felt that it was unnecessary. But now, it seems that the Director has foresight. I really regret not listening to him. I should have brought a few hundred more.”

He continued, “But it’s fine. Our current numbers should be enough to deal with you demons.”

Then, he instructed, “Everyone, listen up…”

The men responded in unison, “Your orders, sir!”

“Director Green Flame has ordered that anyone who harms the people and devours mortals should be killed without mercy!”

“Yes, sir!”
