YM778.TV Chapter 182: Demon (Part 2)
Despite this, Xie Qing simply shrugged and gave the order with a wave of his hand.
"Activate."
"Yes!"
A light breeze rustled as Xie Qing took a stance and smiled, watching Liu Bei struggle to hold back the demon, even managing to inflict several small and even deep wounds on him.
At the same time, the cultivators in the army began to emit a bright, silvery-white light that combined in the sky to form the character "Death."
"Death Formation," Xie Qing remembered the name and leaned forward. "He\'s gathering Qi from all the cultivators and activating the formation that can destroy the enemy..."
The young man smiled confidently. This demon was an abnormal being, and it was necessary to resort to such measures. Xie Qing had some confidence that he could kill him, but it would take too much time.
And although he wanted to personally take the enemy\'s life, in this situation, where he posed a danger, useless arrogance would cost many lives.
"However, I will not allow outsiders to interfere," Xie Qing\'s cold voice suddenly rang out.
Under the puzzled gazes of the army, he swung his sword. Everyone held their breath.
And with a full horizontal slash of the sword, there was nothing. The cultivators looked at each other in confusion, wondering if Xie Qing was joking.
But it was at this very moment, when they began to doubt...
"Kha..."
The demon fell to his knees and gasped heavily. His abdomen was slashed open, and black blood flowed uncontrollably. But that was not all.
Xie Qing waved his hand, and the army completed the activation of the formation. The demon, who tried to get rid of the Sword Aura as quickly as possible, suddenly raised his head and darkened.
"Liu Bei!" the demon roared angrily with hatred in his voice. "Coward! You needed the help of so many people to fight me? It seems that the title of general has clouded your understanding! You\'ve become a coward!"
"Hmph! You\'re the one to talk about this? First and foremost, I am a general, and only then a cultivator!"
Liu Bei did not give in to provocations and only snorted. The demon wanted to say something, but suddenly froze and looked around in shock, looking at the forest...
Crack. Crack.
"Wh-what is this..."
"The earth is shaking..."
"Hey, a tree is falling over there!"
Xie Qing narrowed his eyes. The demon and Liu Bei looked shocked.
BOOM!
With a powerful, almost deafening explosion, the surrounding trees were cut down! The ground cracked.
And that was not the end. Xie Qing smiled slightly, noticing the huge corpses that had been cut in half. This was a horde of monsters that the demon had hidden!
"Th-there!"
"Monsters! Oh sh\\\\*t! If we had met them..."
"Heavens..."
The number of monsters was terrifying. More than twenty thousand monsters, with the weakest being at the first stage of Core Formation. If they were released into the outside world...
Even thinking about it was scary!
Xie Qing sighed in relief. He turned his gaze.
Ding!
[Mission \'Destroy the Hidden Monster Army\' completed!]

[Punishment of a Thousand Swords] | [Rank: Legendary] | [Description: The sword in your hand is the highest authority given to mankind. With its help, you decide the fate of your enemies, subjects, and loved ones. The Dao Sword technique will allow you to deliver a powerful attack that will concentrate a terrifying amount of Sword Aura and, in one attack, can destroy entire armies.
Ignores allies] | [Original Technique]
Xie Qing sighed. He even ignored the slight headache from Qi exhaustion, so happy was he.
"Who would have thought that the system, which had been silent for so long, would give a mission... interesting. It really did save us!"
The Dao Sword technique was invented by him on the spot, and he would not even have called it a technique. The young man simply concentrated an overwhelming amount of Sword Aura, and thanks to his special control, he was able to achieve that Liu Bei and the other allies were not affected.
Although it sounds simple, this is not the easiest task. However, having coped with this, Xie Qing felt a slight relief.
A light silence fell. The young man frowned and raised his sword, then took a stance.
Whoosh...
"Eh?"
"What\'s going on? The Qi in the area is depleting so quickly!"
The shocked cultivators began to come to their senses. Xie Qing was very annoyed, so he shouted angrily:
"Idiots, use the damn formation!"
"Ah!"
Liu Bei also came to his senses from the shock. He looked at the demon, who was already trying to escape, and felt ashamed.
"I really got distracted?! What kind of general am I?!"
The demon clenched his teeth. In his thoughts, he cursed the people.
"Damn it! I even sacrificed my chance at reincarnation to gain the chance to become a demon, even with a very diluted bloodline. And now what? I\'m about to be killed!"
Since ancient times, there have been rumors that demons are immortal. This happened because it was very difficult for a cultivator to kill them, and even if you cut off their head and destroyed their heart, you could not destroy them!
However, the truth was one...
BOOM!
The demon froze, feeling the darkness thicken around him and a terrifying attack approaching from behind at an astonishing speed!
"Formation! Damn it!"
The demon clenched his teeth. He suddenly raised his head to the sky and screamed:
"Master!"
Xie Qing frowned. The cultivators looked worried, but he ordered not to delay and continue the attack.
The demon was suppressed, and his life energy was absorbed by the formation. He clenched his teeth and suddenly exploded!
Boom!
The formation made a strange sound, like the cracking of glass. Xie Qing frowned.
"He\'s gone... but not dead. Otherwise, the formation would have stopped. His soul is still intact, although wounded" he thought and angrily snorted: "Damn it! No wonder demons were considered the scourge of mankind. They are extremely difficult to kill!"
Xie Qing\'s mood plummeted, so he decided to first take care of the demon\'s subordinates.
"Kill all the monsters you find! Burn the corpses, destroy them all to the last one!"
"Yes!"

"Your Majesty... Ga Yu has lost..."
"Hm..."
In the dimly lit room, there were two beings. One of them was so tall that he reached the ceiling even while sitting. And the other was six meters tall.
The one who was tall, or rather huge, had a body resembling a shadow. In the darkness, only dark red eyes were visible.
The tall being waved its hand, clenched its fist, and then unclenched it after a few seconds. In its palm appeared a pale gray sphere.
"His soul has been severely damaged. Send him to the Altar..."
"As you command..."
***
The cultivation world was in turmoil. The news that the monsters that had been troubling mortals and cultivators for a long time had almost been destroyed was spreading.
Although there was still a population that was hiding, the news that they had been contained was pleasant.
Xie Qing looked indifferently at several monster corpses. He turned and looked at the squad of forty cultivators.
"Is that all you found?" he asked in a neutral voice.
"Y-yes, sir!" one of them tensed and bowed with shame on his face. "I\'m sorry... we missed one".
"I don\'t need apologies. I need results. Transfer the task of capturing that monster to the second squad".
"Yes, sir!"
"Dismissed".
Xie Qing waved his hand. The leader bowed and left with his squad.
The young man was silent for some time, then turned and left. After taking two steps, the corpse of one of the monsters, which was a tiger, rose and attacked Xie Qing.
This was a tiger at the Soul Integration stage!
"Die!" the tiger thought furiously, striking.
Xie Qing smiled.
"I thought you\'d pretend for so long..."
"What?!"
The tiger, which was supposed to cut Xie Qing\'s body in half, froze. He met the cold eyes of Xie Qing, which shone with amber light. His pupils turned into a rhombus.
"I-I... can\'t move!" the tiger panicked and shivered.
Xie Qing turned and approached the tiger. The young man whistled.
"Soul Integration... how interesting. You hid among the ordinary monsters, knowing that I check every corpse? In this way, you wanted to kill me and get rid of me, right?" Xie Qing said casually, looking into the tiger\'s eyes, which trembled with fear. The young man erased the smile from his face and snorted: "Weakling. Your fate is a pitiful death".
"Kha..."
Slam! Boom!
Xie Qing snorted and threw aside the lifeless tiger corpse, which was killed instantly. His internal organs turned into nothing after Xie Qing\'s decisive attack.
After the battle with the demon, Xie Qing trained a lot and learned to kill his opponents instantly. Before, he was quite carefree and let his enemy out of sight.
This angered him greatly and made him disappointed in his own skills. So he decided to hone his skills for instant killing.
"Soul destroyed. There\'s nothing more to see here" he thought and waved his hand, throwing a small golden pill at the monster corpses, including the tiger.
As soon as the pill touched the corpses, it exploded with furious fire, which turned all the corpses into powder in a matter of seconds.
Then, using the Dao technique, Xie Qing sealed the powder in a special vial and threw it into his spatial ring.
This was a mandatory procedure to prevent pollution of the environment and the possibility that the demonic monster would be reborn.
The young man looked around and saw that a tall and muscular man was standing a hundred miles away from him. The general.
