Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 135 : Great Terror

Why did it have to be like this? The Third Prince shouldn't have died like this...

Because he bore the country's fortune, the Third Prince was always blessed with good luck when traveling within the borders of Yan Kingdom. This had allowed him to narrowly escape danger, escaping from the Emperor's grasp.

But who would have thought, despite being safe within the palace, he would end up dead in such a remote and desolate place?

Liu Dong remembered that the last host of the national fortune also seemed to have died in Jianghai Prefecture.

Jianghai Prefecture really is cursed. Could there be something here that counters the national fortune?

"Who could it be, who killed the Third Prince and even ate him...?"

A cold light flashed in Liu Dong's eyes as he remembered the figure he had seen soar through the sky.

If he wasn't mistaken, the culprit was that figure!

And Liu Dong could almost confirm the identity of the person. It was none other than the Chongwu Marquis!

The Third Prince, as a powerful figure, was at the peak of the Sixth Stage of cultivation and bore the national fortune. He was not someone who could be easily killed, even by someone like Jiang Tao.

Only the Chongwu Marquis could accomplish something like this!

However, just then, another young face flashed through Liu Dong's mind.

That young man, the one who killed another national fortune bearer, Ye Chuan.

"No, it can't be him," Liu Dong quickly dismissed this absurd thought. After all, the boy named Fang Yuan was only at the peak of the Fourth Stage.

Even if he was a genius, at most he would have reached the Fifth Stage. With his cultivation, the Third Prince could crush him with a single finger.

It must have been the Chongwu Marquis.

"If it was the work of the Chongwu Marquis, then indeed I can do nothing about it. I'll just have to take what's left of the Third Prince's body back and report."

Liu Dong sighed, taking out a storage bag and placing the only remaining organ of the Third Prince inside.

But as he did so, an audacious thought emerged in Liu Dong's mind.

It's said that one can replenish their strength by consuming the flesh of those with similar attributes. Since he was a eunuch, could eating the Third Prince help him grow back...?

...

Although Fang Yuan had the [Fourth Calamity] ability, due to his incredibly fast flying speed, he couldn't afford to carefully examine every name below him.

As long as they weren't red or orange names, he simply ignored them. It happened that Liu Dong was just a blue name.

Thus, Fang Yuan didn't realize that the high-ranking eunuch had arrived here alone.

As Fang Yuan flew at full speed, he quickly confirmed that he had entered the territory of the Iron Horned Demon King, as he began seeing red names appearing below him, increasing in number as he moved south, all of them demons.

However, despite the large number of red names below, Fang Yuan didn't immediately attack.

They were just small demons; it wasn't worth confronting them one by one.

Fang Yuan was no longer the same person he was back in the Henglin Mountain Range. Killing these small demons no longer required close combat.

At that moment, Fang Yuan spotted a vulture in the sky. The vulture saw him too.

When it saw him, its pupils flashed with a trace of panic, before it tried to act like an ordinary creature and flew away.

Quite clever.

Fang Yuan didn't care about the vulture trying to send a warning. To him, whether it reported or not didn't matter.

Today, all the demons in this area would die.

Continuing to fly, Fang Yuan soon saw the names [Iron Horned Demon King] and [Golden Ape Demon Lord] below him. Besides these two powerful figures, the rest were small fry in his eyes.

It seemed that the other demon lords under the Iron Horned Demon King weren't present here.

They were probably scattered across various states in the Southern Territory.

It was impossible to wipe them all out in one go, so he would just deal with whatever he could.

Fang Yuan observed again. The names of the [Iron Horned Demon King] and [Golden Ape Demon Lord] were both stuck in a cliff, as if there was a bug in the game.

Fang Yuan quickly realized that it must be some kind of illusion...

"Just demons, and they're already using magic?"

Fang Yuan shook his head. As for the famous demon king below, he didn't plan to go find it. Instead, from his high altitude, he would take care of all the demons in one go.

Fang Yuan began thinking:

"Hmm... Should I use gravity to suck up the entire area and crush everything? (Earth-shattering Star Explosion)."

"That's too violent, and it would destroy nature. The flowers and plants would be ruined, and there's no need to make it look like the end of the world just to kill demons..."

"Since that's the case, I'll operate more precisely and only target those with demonic power."

"Although this will consume more spiritual power, it's worth a try. Plus, it'll help refine my divine abilities..."

"Let's do it. It's time for the slaughter to begin."

He did what he thought. Fang Yuan closed his eyes.

As he closed his eyes, ripples spread through the space around him, and a dark cloud-like mass appeared...

...

"Report, my King! Report, my King!"

The vulture flew at top speed to the Iron Horned Demon King's cave.

"Come in."

The Iron Horned Demon King's voice echoed. The vulture nervously entered.

As a four-stage demon and a master of the sky, the vulture had been assigned by the Iron Horned Demon King to patrol the area around the nest.

It was also the vulture who had first spotted Liu Dong earlier.

"My King! I saw a human martial artist flying at high altitude here!" The vulture bowed its wings and reported.

"What?" The Golden Ape Demon Lord, who was nearby, growled angrily:

"Another human? The last one just left not two hours ago, and now another one comes!"

"Do they think this place is a toilet? They come and go as they please!"

The Iron Horned Demon King furrowed its brow and stayed silent. There was no expression of surprise on its meaty face.

Because this new human was incredibly arrogant, their aura was completely unmasked.

Other demons might not sense it, but as a Seventh Stage Demon King, it had already sensed the presence of this person, and their aura was unmistakably similar to that of a Seventh Stage being...

Could it be... Jiang Tao?

No, it had fought against Jiang Tao before, and the aura was wrong. This aura was much more terrifying, darker, and more violent!

Just sensing it made the Iron Horned Demon King's skin crawl.

Who could it be? Could it be another follower of the Emperor of Yan Kingdom?

Was this person here to target them, or was it just a passerby?

While thinking, the Iron Horned Demon King suddenly noticed that the sky seemed to be darkening.

It looked up abruptly and saw that the sky was covered in dark clouds, which grew denser by the second, until the entire sky within its sight became dim.

Not only here but across the mountain range, all the other creatures—pigs, snakes, horses, sheep, wild boars, tigers, and leopards—had emerged from their dens, all staring at the sky in confusion.

The pitch-black clouds spread like a wave, covering the entire sky and blocking out the last trace of sunlight.

This spectacular scene filled the creatures of this mountain range with silent fear.

"W-what... what is happening, my King?"

Inside the cave, the Golden Ape Demon Lord spoke in a trembling voice, asking its king. Even as a demon lord, it had never seen such a scene.

"Bad..." The Iron Horned Demon King muttered two words, its face turning cold, and its massive fists were clenched tightly.

At this moment, it was more unsettled than when it had faced Liu Dong.

"It's coming for us..." The Iron Horned Demon King murmured.

This divine being, who had appeared out of nowhere, had used overwhelming spiritual power to cover the entire area!

Even it, even as a Demon King, couldn't do something like that...
