I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 588: I’m Going to Die

The Core Hall of the Demon Suppression Pass is also the array core of the Demon Suppression Pass, where Zhuge Qingshan usually guards.

Chen Baxian was already waiting at the entrance of the hall at this time. Upon seeing Han Zheng and the other person arrive, he nodded towards them and led them into the hall.

As Han Zheng stepped into the core hall with Chen Baxian, he was momentarily taken aback, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The interior of this grand hall seemed like a pitch-black void.

Han Zheng stepped on the ground, yet it felt as though he was stepping into emptiness. Although he sensed something solid beneath his feet, neither his senses nor his eyes could perceive any tangible entity.

Surrounding this space, countless stars rotated, making it seem as if he were amidst an eternal night sky, exuding a profound sense of mystery.

"Here lies the three hundred and sixty Celestial Stars Arrays, the core of the Demon Suppression Pass."

Chen Baxian offered an explanation.

At this moment, people were gradually entering, including the Twelve Passes Guardians of the Dharma Manifestation Realm and the Demon Hunting Guard Commander of the Yang God Realm.

Once everyone had arrived, a fissure suddenly appeared in the space inside.

A figure sitting on a meditation cushion emerged from within.

The person was clad in a light green scholar’s robe, with all white hair and beard neatly groomed.

Though elderly, it was still faintly visible from his features that he had a handsome and dignified appearance with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

All present hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Lord Zhuge!"

This individual, who appeared like an old scholar, was indeed Zhuge Qingshan, the General Guardian who had defended against the Demons at the Demon Suppression Pass for centuries.

Zhuge Qingshan looked at everyone present, a slight smile on his lips, but the next moment he suddenly said, "I am going to die."

Everyone present was momentarily stunned, followed by an uproar of chaos.

No one expected Zhuge Qingshan to start with such a statement.

But before anyone could ask further, Zhuge Qingshan raised a hand to calm the crowd and said lightly, "There’s no need to be so shocked. I’ve already surpassed the life span limit of the Heavenly Position, so it’s normal to die anytime.

However, before I die, I still want to fight one last time with this old life. Rather than sitting here waiting to die, it’s better to contribute some remaining value. Don’t you think so?"

Zhuge Qingshan smiled, but everyone present felt a heavy weight pressing on their hearts, making it difficult to smile.

Although now Zhuge Qingshan was somewhat like a mascot, he was nevertheless a supreme powerhouse standing at the peak of the Heavenly Position.

If Zhuge Qingshan dies, the Demon Suppression Pass would have no supreme Heavenly Position force for protection!

And the court is presently unable to send anyone here.

That most mysterious powerhouse of the Heavenly Position needs to guard the Capital City.

Qi Zhangwu was previously suspected to be at the Heavenly Position, but it is most likely that during the battle decades ago, he was knocked out of that realm when facing the four Demon Saints.

Even if Qi Zhangwu is at the Heavenly Position, as the Grand Commander of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, he needs to protect the Capital City and oversee the entire situation; it’s impossible for him to come to the Demon Suppression Pass.

If Zhuge Qingshan falls, without the protection of top-tier combat power, can the Demon Suppression Pass withstand the next massive attack by the Demons?

The attitude of everyone present was extremely pessimistic.

Zhuge Qingshan glanced at the crowd below: "Are you all afraid?"

Before anyone could refute, Zhuge Qingshan said calmly, "There’s no need to argue. You are indeed afraid.

The power of the Demons grows daily, whereas our power dwindles day by day, so you are afraid and have lost confidence.

Actually, there is no shame in that because even I, Zhuge Qingshan, am afraid.

I am a mediocre person; the phrase ’without heroes, even fools make a name for themselves’ describes me accurately.

I was forced into this role back then, taking control over the Demon Suppression Pass, yet over the years, I have accomplished nothing substantial.

If it wasn’t for Xiao Qi risking his life last time, the Demon Suppression Pass might have fallen."

With a sigh, Zhuge Qingshan turned his gaze towards the crowd, his voice gentle yet firm: "But does fear mean some things shouldn’t be done?

Not long ago, the Eighth Pass Guardian, Chen Baxian, led just two people in an initiative attack, is this known to all of you, where Feather Emperor Mountain was annihilated, and two Demon Emperors along with twelve Demon Kings were slain?

All present turned their gaze towards Chen Baxian.

Of course, they knew about this matter; it had shaken the entire Demon Suppression Pass.

Aside from Chen Baxian, many Dharma Manifestation Realm Guardians also initiated attacks, striking at Demon Cave Mansions.

However, they made moves only against individual Demon Emperors, ensuring absolute certainty before acting.

Like Chen Baxian, bringing just two persons to rashly charge forward, that was a true brazen act, achieving astonishing achievements.

"Chen Baxian performed excellently; the courage and resolve of the young surpass those of an old like me.

His success also proves that these Demons are not invincible. Sometimes taking the initiative is far more beneficial than waiting passively; at least we gain the initiative."

Zhuge Qingshan gazed intensely at everyone present, speaking in a deep voice: "So I plan to gather the entirety of Demon Suppression Pass’s forces, launching a surprise attack on the Country of Demons. Using my life, I’ll fight to death with a Demon Saint! Severely damage the Country of Demons, ensuring decades of peace for Great Zhou!

Are you willing to join me?"

The Twelve Passes Guardians present did not hesitate, all responded: "We are willing to live and die with Lord Zhuge!"

Zhuge Qingshan waved his hand, saying: "That’s too heavy a statement. I die, you must live, and live well.

Spies from the Country of Demons bring news, this time it’s Moon Howling Demon Saint, one of the Seven Great Demon Saints, leading the attack against our Demon Suppression Pass.

Moon Howling Demon Saint is in his prime among the Seven Great Demon Saints, his true form being an anomaly of the Ancient Demon Clan, an Upper Demon Clan Sky Howling Wolf. Decades ago, among the four Demon Saints attacking our Demon Suppression Pass, Moon Howling Demon Saint was one.

However, he was fortunate enough not to be trapped by the Grand Commander’s All Heaven Divine Killing Array, narrowly escaping with his life.

Moon Howling Demon Saint is powerful, cunning, suspicious, vicious, and fierce, being the most aggressive among the Demon Saints in action.

It’s only been decades since the last massive Demon attack on the Demon Suppression Pass, and the Demons suffered significant losses, even losing two Demon Saints; logically, they shouldn’t have regrouped to attack the Demon Suppression Pass so swiftly.

But because of this Moon Howling Demon Saint, he believes that our Human Clan also suffered significant losses, so he hastens to consolidate his exploits, gathering demons to prepare for another assault on the Demon Suppression Pass.

This time, in attacking the Demon Suppression Pass, no other Demon Saints are involved for now; Moon Howling Demon Saint is spearheading the attack, so once he is killed, the Demon Suppression Pass can again enjoy decades of peace.

A month later is the five hundredth birthday of Moon Howling Demon Saint. He plans to host a grand banquet in his mansion, while also discussing strategies for attacking our Demon Suppression Pass.

We shall make our move during his birthday, taking the opportunity to annihilate his forces and send a grand gift!"

Upon hearing this, a slight hint of astonishment appeared in Han Zheng’s eyes.

Zhuge Qingshan, on the surface, seemed to be detached from managing affairs, like a mascot.

Yet, Zhuge Qingshan actually had spies planted within the Demon Clan, with intelligence gathered quite thoroughly. freёnovelkiss.com

Zhuge Qingshan continued: "The Country of Demons differs from our Human Clan, with its power mostly scattered. Under a Demon Saint, there are a group of Demon Emperors, under a Demon Emperor, there are several Demon Kings, and under a Demon King, there are several Demon Lords, and so forth.

But in reality, their connections are not tight, most fighting their own battles, operating with their mansions as units, grouping together only when summoned by their superiors.

Moreover, some Demon Kings and Demon Emperors don’t belong under any specific Demon Saint’s command.

This time, for Moon Howling Demon Saint’s attack on our Demon Suppression Pass, he aims to assemble these scattered Demon Emperors and Demon Kings, gathering their forces.

Therefore, for his birthday celebration, Moon Howling Demon Saint has invited almost all scattered Demon Emperors and Demon Kings within the Country of Demons.

I plan to dispatch a vanguard, disguised as these Demon Emperors and Demon Kings, to infiltrate Moon Howling Demon Saint’s mansion as undercover agents, creating chaos and sabotaging the array.

Then I will lead all the forces of Demon Suppression Pass to strike Moon Howling Demon Saint’s mansion at the opportune moment.

Zhuge Qingshan looked at Chen Baxian, glancing at Han Zheng and Yan Xuankong beside him, saying solemnly: "Chen Baxian, I entrust you with this task, along with your comrades. Do you dare to accept?"
