120: Chapter 119: Bloodstained Seal of the Moon [Extra Chapter for Alliance Hierarch Tai Ke Yin] 120: Chapter 119: Bloodstained Seal of the Moon [Extra Chapter for Alliance Hierarch Tai Ke Yin] Atop the fortress, Tideng Monk’s eyebrows twitched.
Such swordsmanship, he couldn’t block it either!
“This madman, he won’t even talk!”
“Not talking is the talk!
You must first inflict pain, or there’s no talking!”
“Should we go down and help?”
“If we go down, that’s not helping, that’s messing up!
One man standing alone could be a legend, giving the Demon a dignified step to participate in the legend.
A group of people going down, that’s a brawl, either the Demon gets furious, or we go berserk, and can it be stopped?
It’s just a civilian melee!”
The legend belongs to him, we are the background!
“Will the Demon really slaughter the fortress?”
“If the swordsman wins, airborne Demons will come looking for a scene; if the swordsman loses, the Demon will have suffered heavy losses and will definitely invade the fortress to vent its anger!
Either way, we can’t escape.”
“Then what’s the point of going down?”
“To write our own legend… and then, should we need to flee after a defeat, it would be more convenient…”
… Being described so disparagingly by Tideng Monk, Hou Niao actually had no plans to flee at the moment; not that he had never done so before, but because he felt he didn’t need to run.
He had a chance as long as he could keep the number of opponents facing him within a limit!
Divide the environment, divide the opponents, divide the atmosphere!
Against opponents from the Demon Clan, as simply and brutally straightforward as they were, his chosen approach was even simpler and more brutal.
The Sheep Demon was in an attacking stance, after all, it had jumped up and slammed into him.
If its skills were inferior, it couldn’t blame its opponent for being ruthless.
But there was still a voice among the Demons shouting, “Quanzhen is overbearing and unreasonable.
Do they think the Demon Clan has no warriors?
We set up the confrontation in advance, arrange to fight on an auspicious day, shouldn’t we first clarify things?
Is the Patrol so impatient?”
Hou Niao stood like a spear, “No talk!
If you want to speak to me, you must first consult my longsword!”
Two Demons rushed forward, a Horse Demon with a big mouth and an Earth Armor Beast attacking from opposite sides; the Horse Demon’s mouth opened wide like a big red door, while the Earth Armor Beast burrowed in the ground, waiting for its moment; one visible and massive, the other hidden and subtle, their cooperation was perfectly timed.
Hou Niao soared into the air, avoiding the Horse Demon’s gaping maw, his sword tip aimed at the small eyes of the Horse Demon, but despite its seemingly clumsy body, the Horse Demon was quick to react.
Pivoting its mouth, would the sword really pierce into it, possibly getting snapped off?
Hou Niao timely withdrew his sword, an uncommon move in his past battles, while dropping down to smartly land beside where the Horse Demon’s mouth couldn’t bite, and just then, where he landed, the Earth Armor Beast suddenly appeared, its pointed snout like a dirt spike, waiting for him to deliver himself to its trap.
It waited, but what fell was not the body of the swordsman, but a longsword!
It was ambushing the swordsman, while the swordsman was also strategizing against it!
For Hou Niao, an assassin hiding in the ground layer was far more dangerous than the massive Horse Demon.
No sooner had the Earth Armor Beast poked its head out than it was pierced through the nostril by a sword.
Hou Niao was just landing, and at the same time, he flicked his sword, the Earth Armor Beast howling as it was forcibly pulled out of the ground layer, and then flung, helplessly flying out!
Such an injury was severe, but not fatal, the nostril was its strongest weapon, but not a vital spot!
In midair, he flipped his body, trying to maintain balance, but suddenly the surroundings darkened as if he had entered a blood-red space.
“Big Brother Ma, don’t bite, it’s me!”
With a ‘crack’, sharp teeth pierced the body of the Earth Armor Beast; no one knew if the Horse Demon with the big mouth couldn’t stop or was intentionally indulging in a feast.
Hou Niao had once again leaped into the air, seizing the moment while the Horse Demon, reluctant to let go of the blood meal in its mouth, hesitated to open wide again, splitting its head between the eyes with a flash of his sword.
In an instant, the sword’s brilliance greatly increased, a three-foot longsword spewing out a foot of Qi Gang.
The sword penetrated six inches, the Gang surged about ten inches further!
The unrivaled Qi Gang cleaved through the hard skull of the Horse Demon, piercing into its pitiful brain.
The Horse Demon collapsed with a boom, not quite dead yet, still struggling to chew the blood meal in its mouth,
“Delicious, very nourishing…”
Hou Niao stood firm, silent, sword pointing at hundreds of beasts, his intent fierce, his momentum overwhelming.
A voice roared from among the demon group, “Patrol, do you intend to fight to the death with the Yinling Demon Clan?
Not even giving us a chance to speak?”
Hou Niao shouted, “No talk!
After I kill enough, we’ll talk!”
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, then it wanes, and with a third attempt, it exhausts.
Though morale was greatly impacted, and most of the Demon Beasts thought of retreating, still, three Demon Beasts, inflamed by blood, leaped forward, all from the same clan: three Baboon Demons.
Their strength was not small, and combined with unpredictable leaping and flexible bodies, they wielded a knife, a fork, and a hammer in flawless coordination.
In the use of weapons, Baboon Demons with their slightly human-like physique learned the fastest.
Hou Niao knew he could not delay; a quick battle would be paramount, any hesitation could lead to mishaps, squandering the morale he had just built and there would be no chance to capture the minds of the Demons!
Competing in leaping with the Baboon Demons was beyond human capability, even using the Sword Yu Step!
So he stood still, feet firmly grasping the ground, ready to unleash a full-powered blow at any moment!
The three weapons almost simultaneously reached him; at this moment, he started using the most brutal defensive technique he had learned in the Soul Realm: exchanging injury for life!
Ignoring the imminent knife and fork, his primary target was the one wielding the hammer!
The Golden Hammer, a vibration-type weapon that couldn’t reduce injury, and this hammer was quite large—whether because this Baboon Demon overestimated its own strength, or a larger hammer appeared more imposing, but its excessive weight revealed gaps during swings.
Fortunately, this object wasn’t smart enough to play with a hollow hammer or hide lime powder inside it?
The longsword swept through a gap in the hammer, the Baboon Demon’s eyes widening in confusion.
As it died, it couldn’t understand why the swordsman chose it?
Why not dodge the knives and forks of its brothers?
The knife and fork penetrated his body simultaneously, Hou Niao’s body sharply contracting and trembling, coordinating Spiritual Power transportation, twisting his muscles to direct the opponents’ attacks with the most muscular parts of his body.
The normal human reaction at this moment would be pain, grimacing, shouting out loud, then instinctively retreating…
but Hou Niao wouldn’t!
His first reaction was to counterstrike, seizing the opponents’ weapons!
The Baboon Demon wielding the fork fell face-to-face, one side of its face sheared off by the sword.
The remaining Baboon Demon wielding the knife was terrified, howled, and leaped high, trying to turn and run.
It shouldn’t have jumped.
A cold light shot from behind, the three-foot longsword pinning the unfortunate Baboon Demon right through, its long wail seeming to tell something?
Hou Niao also was covered in blood, but he didn’t care!
He didn’t care, but the demons did!
Taking two steps forward, he stepped on the still-struggling Baboon Demon’s head, drew his sword, and amidst the continuous screams for mercy below his feet, pointed his sword at the demon group and bellowed furiously:
