Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 298 - 159: My Strongest Is Defense, Heading to Jiuhua County (2)
Situ Feng’s eyes filled with shock; he naturally noticed the commotion earlier.
Moreover, the presence of the White Tiger Demon Monarch and Cyan Snake Demon Monarch within him had become deathly silent. These two demon monarchs were either dead or had fled.
The Golden Eagle Demon Monarch appeared but didn’t dare to attack Wei Fan, most likely dead.
Wei Fan nodded, "I’ve dealt with them all, including two demon monarchs from the Black Lake Demon Race. Their target wasn’t you; it was actually me!"
Situ Feng could only feel his mouth go dry.
Four demon monarchs, all slain just like that.
Amidst the shock, he heard Wei Fan continue, "The White Belly Demon Monarch was also slaughtered, the Golden Eagle Demon Monarch was cowed by me, and should behave for a while. You can rest easy and recover."
"..."
Situ Feng didn’t speak for a long time. How much time had passed, and Wei Fan had killed five demon monarchs?
If he weren’t unable to kill the Golden Eagle Demon Monarch, Wei Fan would have likely stormed the Golden Eagle Demon Monarch’s lair and slain him too.
"If only I hadn’t come!"
Zhang Xianlong, who had come specially, was speechless. Wei Fan had slain all the demon monarchs. If the Nascent Soul Great Demons of the Demon Heaven Alliance weren’t scared off, it would be strange. In other words, he had come for nothing.
He looked at Wei Fan, "Are you going back to Su City, or staying here?"
Since the matter was resolved, Wei Fan and Long Xueyi probably had no interest in staying in the not-yet-completed Black Wind City.
If they returned, he’d like to catch a ride again.
Wei Fan shook his head, "Though the matter here is settled, other commandery cities still have Demon Heaven Alliance members active. I’ll see if I can slay a few more demon monarchs!"
The power was almost ready, but given Tongzhou’s current situation, with demons rioting everywhere, it was obviously not suitable to leave. Saving Long Jianying clearly wasn’t a one-day affair.
And these matters could be said to have been indirectly caused by him; he couldn’t just leave them be.
He looked at Zhang Xianlong, "Go get us some food!"
That guy was visibly resistant.
What did Wei Fan take him for, a servant?
He was a dignified Demon Hunter, not someone to be ordered around by Wei Fan.
But in the next moment, he saw the pulsating piece of flesh in Wei Fan’s hand, its Essence Qi flowing vigorously, and rushed off to find someone to deal with it.
It was a piece of the White Belly Demon Monarch’s meat!
The flesh of a Concentrated Spirit Demon Fiend was a treasure, and for those below the Divine Realm, consuming it was a rare Great Medicine, bringing immense benefits.
Even Situ Feng’s eyes brightened. Even for him, it wasn’t common to eat the meat of a Condensing Spirit Great Demon.
Only a demon like Wei Fan could slay a Concentrating Spirit Demon Monarch like a dog, with his Storage Gourd almost full of the Condensing Spirit Demon Fiend’s flesh.
Zhang Xianlong left, and Wei Fan, Long Xueyi, and Situ Feng sat down.
Situ Feng looked at Wei Fan and asked, "Do you still plan to go after the demon monarchs of the Demon Heaven Alliance? Have you decided where to go?"
Wei Fan shook his head, "I was just about to ask Commander Situ for advice!"
He didn’t know where there were more demon monarchs, or where the situation was dire.
There were many Celestial Human Level Demon Hunters, but at the Divine Realm Level in Tongzhou, he had only seen Huo Tianzheng.
Huo Tianzheng was clearly retired, and he couldn’t find another Demon Hunter of the same level to inquire about the situation. Commander Situ had been in his position for a long time and should know people in this regard.
He couldn’t believe that in this vast Tongzhou, aside from him and Long Xueyi, there weren’t other Divine Realm Demon Hunters.
"You should go to Jiuhua County. I heard from the commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Jiuhua County that he sensed the aura of the Black Python Demon Lord appearing nearby, and the situation there is the most critical. Last night, the front line was nearly breached."
Situ Feng showed a gloomy expression; the appearance of the Black Python Demon Lord made him uneasy, as it was because of the Black Python Demon Lord that he was so injured.
Wei Fan was surprised, "Wasn’t this beast’s injury supposed to take years to heal? How did it come out to cause trouble so soon?"
The Black Python Demon Lord had only managed to leave Cyan Cloud Mountain by leaving behind half its tail. Such a wound, even with the demon’s healing abilities, would not recover quickly.
Situ Feng shook his head, "It’s not necessarily healed; the beast might be trying to catch something while the chaos ensues, wanting to swallow a Divine Realm being to heal. If he could exploit the chaos to consume a Divine Realm being, his injury could heal in a few months."
Wei Fan nodded, knowing that now the Black Python Demon Lord was no longer an unbeatable existence to him—he could destroy it with a flip of his hand, healed or not.
Soon, Zhang Xianlong brought meals made from the White Belly Demon Monarch’s meat, and the group ate together.
For the three of them at Divine Realm, the demon monarch’s meat had a moderate effect, but for Zhang Xianlong, a Celestial Martial Artist, it was different. After a few bites, his face turned red, and he went aside to meditate.
After finishing the meal and gathering some more information from Situ Feng, Wei Fan and Long Xueyi, without bothering Zhang Xianlong, left directly into the void.
Jiuhua County is one of the twenty-one commandery cities under Tongzhou, separated from Su City by three commanderies.
It also borders regions with demons, although not as many as within Su City’s jurisdiction, so the highest position in the Jiuhua County Demon Suppression Bureau is Commander, with no Commander position set.
Because the forces here are relatively weak, with only one in the Divine Realm, many demons focus their attention on this place, trying to break through the Human Race’s defenses from here.
Fortunately, the commander of Jiuhua County requested reinforcements in time, and Demon Hunters from nearby commandery cities rushed over, repelling the demons assaulting the front line. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The commander here is named Ma Hongtu, with a mid-Divine Realm cultivation, not having much of a connection with Situ Feng, so Situ Feng didn’t introduce him much.
...
On the battlefield, roars shook the heavens, limbs and bodies lay everywhere, and the ground was dyed red with blood, both that of Human Race soldiers and demons.
This is the Jiuhua County battlefield. From last night until now, the demons defended by Jiuhua County have launched their third assault here. Although armies from other commandery cities are rushing in, it takes time.
On this brutally fierce battlefield, one could see more than anything else, the large and small Mouse Demons, almost covering the sky, the small ones as large as fists, the big ones larger than water buffaloes.
"These demons are insane!"
The soldiers of the Jiuhua County Demon Suppression Bureau were not fighting the Mouse Demons under the Jade Mouse Demon Monarch for the first time, but it was the first time seeing these Mouse Demons so frenzied, deploying even those not yet possessing spiritual intelligence into battle.
The Mouse Demons swarmed across the land, rushing into the Jiuhua County Demon Suppression Bureau’s defenses like a tide. Countless soldiers and suppression guards were attacking madly but could only watch the line slowly recede.
"Give up the resistance, Ma Hongtu. Today Jiuhua County’s defenses will surely fall. If you retreat now, I will only slaughter half of your people once my army enters the city.
If you continue to stubbornly resist, once my army enters the city, not a single dog or chicken will be spared."
The Jade Mouse Demon Monarch shouted, battling Ma Hongtu not far off. A human and a demon with equal strength, neither could overcome the other.
Ma Hongtu was anxious; maintaining a stalemate was futile. If the army below was defeated, hundreds of thousands in the city behind would become demon fodder.
Another battle waged not far away, with the Sect Leader of Yunyan Pavilion fighting the Cyan Wolf Demon Monarch, equally matched.
The Divine Realm warriors could not determine a victor, preventing them from assisting the army.
More worrying was an earlier sense of the Black Python Demon Lord’s aura, now seemingly vanished.
If it left, it was fortunate, but if lurking in the shadows, it would be troublesome.
The creature lost its territory and turned into a desperate beast, unlikely to adhere to old rules.
"Do you dare—do you dare massacre my Jiuhua County people? You, Jade Mouse Clan, just wait for your extinction!" Ma Hongtu roared fiercely.
As he spoke, he swung out a sword, unleashing a terrifying wave with a Basic Divine Soldier.
The Jade Mouse Demon Monarch dodged, and not far away, half the peak of a small mountain was shaved off.
"Exterminate us if you must. As long as this Monarch survives, the Jade Mouse Clan will rise again. If we can breach Jiuhua County’s defenses, the Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s rewards will be enough to elevate me further!"
The Mouse Demons’ madness had its reasons.
The Black Lake Jiao Venerable had been forced to hide deep in Black Lake but had not swallowed this disgrace, offering rich rewards to avenge the grievous blow. This was why the demon monarchs were so crazy.
Destroying the Human Race’s defenses, annihilating a city, would earn you rewards in Black Lake. Slaying a Human Race Divine Realm would also bring you rewards.
