Chapter 1177: 2 Demons
What was destiny? Destiny was the excuse of the weak and the self-modesty of the strong.
The Bai family’s brothers stood silently at the side, pondering those words in their hearts. After a while, they looked at Ou Yangming’s receding figure and shouted with ferocious looks.
“Ou Yangming, What you said is wrong. You don’t know us at all!”
“Do you know why we have such hateful names? “Our father died when we were born, and our mother was kicked out of the family. We were lucky to survive because we were of the Bai family’s bloodline. Our father’s first wife treated us as freeloaders, so she came up with these names to insult us. We were unwilling to accept it, so we worked hard and finally came to the Mystic Sky Sect. Originally, we wanted to enter the Pill Refinement Department to study and become great alchemists. By then, we could take revenge and make that b*tch pay. Now, all these opportunities are gone. If this isn’t destiny, what is?”
Hysterical roars sounded from behind.
Ou Yangming did not turn around. He did not regret taking away their opportunities. A pitiful person must have something to hate. This logic did not apply to everyone, but it was still reasonable in most cases. The brothers could obviously be described as such.
After Ou Yangming left, Song Qingshan also left in a hurry. He still had to report to the Pill Refinement Department, so he did not have time to waste with the 2 lunatics.
In the Zhongzhou Main City.
There were 4 main cities under the Mystic Sky Immortal City, and the Zhongzhou Main City was one of them. As a main city, the number of powerhouses and the resources here were far greater than in the other cities. Nonetheless, at this moment, this place was experiencing a war.
“How is it? Has the news reached the Mystic Sky Immortal City?”
On the city wall of the main city, a man in a black robe stood in the void, looking into the distance with eyes like the stars.
“Governor.”
Beside the black-robed man was a man in golden armor. He walked out and said in a deep voice, “Due to the explosion of the Desolate Ancient Ruins, the void has been disturbed. All communication tools have been lost. That said, a few days ago, a direct disciple of the Mystic Sky Sect escaped by luck. If he has returned to the sect, I believe that the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect would know. Our messengers are also on the way. I wonder where they are now…”
The black-robed man looked into the distance. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as his body trembled slightly. He was like a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any moment.
“Another city has been massacred.”
He was filled with hatred!
If it was not because he wanted to guard the main city, he would go out and exterminate those Ancient Demons that harmed the Humans. He would kill all of them, but he could not leave now.
This was because if he left, he would fall into their trap.
The other party’s goal was to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The Ancient Demon of the second step had left the ruins and was constantly watching this city, waiting for him to leave.
It was worth noting that the Zhongzhou Main City was their foundation!
The golden-armored man’s expression was grave. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve already sent all the golden-armored guards out. If they encounter those Ancient Demons, they’ll definitely kill them all.”
“It’s useless. There are more than 10,000 cities under the main city, and there are only so many golden-armored guards. There’s no way to defend against them…” The black-robed man’s tone was sad. “We still don’t know how many Ancient Demons have come out. If all of them are out, even I won’t be able to stop them. In Zhongzhou, billions of people will most likely be eaten by the Ancient Demons.”
The powerhouses around had solemn expressions. They all understood that the governor was right. The number of Ancient Demons that had been sealed was recorded in the ancient records, and it was a large number. If all of them were out, Zhongzhou would be wiped out.
Even if they were to eliminate all of the Ancient Demons in the future, this loss would be painful for the Humans.
Another large man in golden armor quickly flew over from afar, “Governor, the Seven Star Pavilion’s group of great elders has all left the mountain, and many human powerhouses have also taken the initiative to join the battle. Now, plenty of powerhouses have set off, preparing to head toward those occupied cities.”
“I hope we can hold on until the powerhouses of the Mystic Sky Sect arrive.” The black-robed man swept his gaze to a corner, unsheathing his long sword abruptly, and surging out his sword intent.
Everyone also looked in that direction as if they were facing a great enemy. After a short while, that terrifying aura quietly left, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
It left!
Qianshan City was located in a remote area of the Zhongzhou Main City. It was surrounded by mountains, so it was not affected by the disturbances from the outside world.
The scene in the city was still very peaceful. The streets were filled with people and heavy traffic.
In the Fuxiang Tavern in Qianshan City, a few brawny men were discussing the news about Ancient Demons.
A man with a scar on his face had returned from the outside world. He told them what he had seen and heard, causing a group of people to be shocked.
“Did the Ancient Demons from Zhongzhou’s Desolate Ancient Ruins really appear?” Someone asked in surprise.
The scarred man sneered. “Of course. When I came back from the main city, I saw many cities filled with smoke. Some of the smaller cities had lost their vitality, and many cities were massacred by the Ancient Demons.”
This scarred man had extraordinary strength. He was a famous Starry Sky Hunter, and he was very brave. If it were anyone else, perhaps everyone would treat it as a joke, but they did not dare to ignore the news brought by the scarred man.
“How could the Ancient Demons be so cruel? Aren’t they as timid as mice, hiding in the mountains?”
Scarface scoffed. “You’re right, but you’re also wrong.”
“Why do you say that?” That person asked in surprise.
Scarface explained, “The Ancient Demons aren’t timid. They have exceptional talents, and each of them is notably powerful. How could they be timid? However, once they appear, they’ll be suppressed by human powerhouses. This is why they had no choice but to flee to a remote place, not daring to provoke us, humans. That said, the ones that came out of the ruins are different. They don’t know how powerful we humans are and don’t understand the current situation of the Ancient Demons. Naturally, they’re arrogant and don’t regard us as anything.”
“Is Qianshan City safe?” Someone suddenly thought of this question.
Since so many cities in Zhongzhou had been attacked by the Ancient Demons, Qianshan City was also a small city. Its population was only close to a million. If the Ancient Demons came, would they not be finished?
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the scarred man. Only this Starry Sky Hunter who had seen Ancient Demons could answer this question.
Scarface sneered. “No one knows. We can only pray that we won’t be discovered by them.”
As a Starry Sky Hunter, he was used to life and death. He was not afraid of Ancient Demons. Of course, he also knew that Qianshan City would not be able to withstand even just one Ancient Demon.
The ground suddenly began to shake.
Everyone hurriedly looked outside. On the streets of Qianshan City, a giant devilish ape appeared. The devilish ape was 100 meters tall, and its body was especially huge. The grey fur on its body was like steel needles.
“It’s an Ancient Demon!” Scarface’s expression changed, and he hurriedly left the tavern.
The devilish ape stomped down, and many houses fell. The destructive power of an Ancient Demon was undoubtedly fatal to a small city like Qianshan City.
“Damn Ancient Demon, you’re courting death!”
7 or 8 Rulers flew over quickly. These Rulers were all powerhouses around the governor, as well as other powerhouses in the city.
Facing these Rulers, the devilish ape did not care at all. Its eyes were bloodshot as it opened its mouth and roared.
“Everyone, quickly seal your senses!” The governor of Qianshan City shouted.
Having said that, no one had the time to react. This cry rang in the minds of everyone in Qianshan City. Regardless of gender, old or young, as long as one was below a Venerable One, one was bleeding from one’s 7 orifices.
In just one move, hundreds of thousands of people in Qianshan City were slaughtered.
The Humans went crazy.
Seeing the people around them die, everyone picked up their weapons and rushed toward the devilish ape. The 8 Rulers in the sky also quickly attacked.
Sword-lights and saber-lights filled the void.
The devilish ape was not afraid. It faced everyone’s attacks with one hand. No matter if it was a sword or saber, they were useless against it.
Its body was remarkably strong. Even an ordinary Ruler could not break through its defense.
“Oh no!”
Suddenly, another person cried out. The devilish ape’s huge hand that blotted the sky came whistling over and tightly held a Ruler in its hand.
“Crack!”
Along with a miserable cry, that Ruler was directly crushed into a ball of flesh, and the magic tools on his body were useless.
At this moment, everyone understood that this Ancient Demon was very powerful. They would only be courting their deaths if they charged forward.
Those Venerable Ones were even more miserable. With a single step, the ape could crush several of them. The powerhouses in the city were now as weak as tofu.
“We can’t fight them head-on. Everyone, fight but retreat at the same time,” Qianshan City’s governor shouted.
The group of people began to retreat. They knew that staying here would be the same as courting death.
At this moment, a golden eagle flew over from the sky. It sneered. “Silly monkey, why are you wasting time with them? Hurry up and kill them!”
This golden eagle was very dissatisfied with the devilish ape’s speed.
The devilish ape raised its head and coldly said, “Don’t call me a monkey. I’m not a monkey.”
“Alright, monkey, I’m going to make my move. I don’t have the time to waste.” The golden eagle flapped its wings and turned into a ray of golden light.
Its wings were like the Grim Reaper’s reaper, incomparably sharp.
It streaked across the sky and instantly, more than 100 Venerable Ones were cut in half. Those ordinary Rulers were also unable to escape. In the blink of an eye, 2 of them were killed by this Ancient Demon.
The people of Qianshan City had gone mad.
That devilish ape was already so powerful that it could destroy all of them. Who would have thought that an even more formidable golden eagle would come?
They were simply leaving them no path of survival. The aura of despair and panic began to spread in the air.
“Run!”
The cultivators of Qianshan City had completely retreated. If there was a silver lining, they would not have done so. Reality had already made everyone despair.
“Trying to escape? Do you think you can escape?”
The golden eagle’s body flashed once again, and many people fell from the sky.
After just 8 minutes, Qianshan City was already empty. Other than a few cultivators who had escaped into the surrounding mountains, the rest had died.
The city was filled with the mutilated bodies of the humans. The golden eagle let out an excited cry as it flew into the sky again, taking out a blood-red bead from its claws.
