Divine-level Base-Chapter 72: Blood Blade Demon Marshal

"Zhou Yang! Your phone is ringing! Your squadmate is calling for help. Aren’t you going to save her?"

Waves of Demon Light swirled around the Ghost-devouring Demon. Its claws were elusive, striking at Zhou Yang from incredibly bizarre angles.

"I’ll kill you!"

Zhou Yang’s gaze was icy. The sword in his hand moved as if it had a life of its own, every strike aimed for the Ghost-devouring Demon’s vitals.

The Ghost-devouring Demon let out a chilling laugh. "Zhou Yang, you truly are the captain of Lei Jiang City’s Guardian Flame, managing to fight me to a standstill. But let me tell you a little secret. We opened a Void Demon Gate in Mulu Village. All of Lei Jiang City will become the hunting ground for our Devouring Ghost Demon Clan. How about that for a surprise? Those two squadmates you sent are now nothing but bait for our clan!"

A bizarre flash of sword light twisted like a snake, slashing a wound across the Ghost-devouring Demon’s right arm. Droplets of fresh blood oozed from the gash and dripped to the ground.

"Nice Swordsmanship! A pity it’s useless! As long as I keep you occupied, all of Lei Jiang City will be annihilated. You still have a chance, though. If you abandon these companions, you might have a slim chance of destroying that Void Demon Gate and saving Lei Jiang City!"

The Ghost-devouring Demon gave another chilling smile, its voice filled with temptation. The wound on its right arm began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With an icy gaze, Zhou Yang executed his Clear Wind Flowing Cloud Sword technique, continuing his fierce battle with the Ghost-devouring Demon.

’This guy truly is the captain of the Guardian Flame in Lei Jiang City. He’s a tough one! But he’s worth the hunt!’

A greedy, vicious glint flashed in the Ghost-devouring Demon’s eyes. It let out a savage grin and pounced at Zhou Yang, its claws creating a flurry of afterimages as it lunged.

Inside the mysterious Underground Palace that had appeared along with the Void Demon Gate, a black altar stood beneath a ten-meter-tall statue of a demon. The statue had a single eye, the horns of an ox, and a pair of Demon Wings sprouting from its back.

In the center of the black altar lay a Demon Spear. It was as black as ink, engraved with a single eye and countless mystical patterns, and it emanated an inscrutable aura.

With a series of footsteps, the middle-aged Void Demon entered the palace. His eyes lit up as he gazed at the Demon Spear.

"Blood Blade Demon Marshal, is this your objective? Did your Devouring Ghost Demon Clan pay such a heavy price to open a Void Demon Gate just for this Demon Spear?"

A stunningly beautiful woman strode into the palace. She wore a silver robe with a cape emblazoned with the pattern of a long sword over a suit of silver armor. Her hair was tied back in a single black ponytail, framing a delicate, oval face with willow-leaf eyebrows, skin as translucent as jade, and absolutely exquisite features.

Following behind the beautiful woman with the ponytail were seven people, all dressed in matching silver armor and silver capes, looking uniformly sharp and handsome.

Blood Blade Demon Marshal smiled faintly. "Shui Lingyan, the youngest genius of Celestial Sword, also known as Daffodil. The strongest contender for a top-three leadership position in Celestial Sword! This Demon Spear was forged by the Master of Secret Treasures, Gongsun Yang. He spent ten years refining it from the corpse of a Void Demon Lord Level Great Demon. It has the potential to evolve into one of the Seven Great Holy Spears. Once this Demon Spear falls into our hands, we’ll be one step closer to conquering your world!"

Shui Lingyan’s eyes narrowed slightly, her muscles tensing. She spoke slowly, "Why are you telling us this secret?"

"Because you’re all going to die here!!"

Blood Blade Demon Marshal flashed a bone-chilling smile. Endless Demonic Qi erupted from his body, swallowing the surrounding light like a black hole, and in an instant, he vanished from everyone’s sight.

「Outside Mulu Village.」

"That terrifying Void Demon is gone! Time for a counterattack!!"

Shu Feng watched the endless stream of Low-Level Demons, glanced at the Void Demon Gate, and clenched his jaw. With a wave of his hand, thirty Black Dog Illusion Demons, twenty Goblin Leaders, and four Goblin Shamans appeared instantly.

The hundred-plus Black Dog Illusion Demons formed an army and charged madly toward the Void Demon Gate.

KACHA! KACHA!

The Black Dog Illusion Demons pouring out of the Void Demon Gate were weakened by the Heart of the World. Besieged by Shu Feng’s own Black Dog Illusion Demons, they were tackled to the ground one by one, their throats torn out.

Each of the twenty Goblin Leaders wielded a modified 12.5mm large-caliber heavy machine gun. Muzzles flashed as a torrent of steel slammed into the Low-Level Demons, blasting them to pieces and sending flesh and blood flying.

Dozens of intangible, ghost-like Ghostly Void Demons had just started flying over when they were pounced upon by the Black Dog Illusion Demons, which began to ravenously devour and tear them apart on the ground.

"Soul Power +5, Ghost Energy +100!"

"Soul Power +2, Ghost Energy +50!"

"..."

Countless notifications rang in Shu Feng’s mind as his legion carved a bloody path through the demon horde toward the Void Demon Gate.

’If I had known, I would’ve bought more heavy weapons for these Goblin Leaders! It’s a shame heavy machine guns were the limit; they don’t sell rocket launchers at all. The organization’s bureaucracy is just too rigid!’

Guarded by his massive demon horde, Shu Feng walked toward the Void Demon Gate, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.

As soon as he returned to Blue Star, Shu Feng had applied to the Guardian Flame to purchase a large number of heavy machine guns, grenades, flashbangs, and other weapons. While these weapons posed no threat to powerful Void Demons like Ghostly Void Demons or Evil Jade Horses, they were excellent for clearing out the small fry.

Suddenly, a figure shot out from among the lesser Void Demons. Moving like a bolt of Lightning in an erratic pattern, it charged rapidly toward Shu Feng.

The twenty Goblin Leaders wildly sprayed their heavy machine guns at the figure, blanketing it in a terrifying curtain of steel formed by a dense storm of bullets.

The figure moved faster than a cheetah, but even so, it was struck by several heavy machine gun rounds. A black Void Demon Membrane materialized around its body, warping the bullets and deflecting them aside.

"A Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demon!"

Shu Feng’s eyes narrowed as he got a clear look at the Void Demon hurtling toward him. It was a Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demon.

Only Demon-Breaking Bullets and various Extraordinary Weapons could easily pierce the Void Demon Membrane of a Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demon. Ordinary bullets, and even rockets, would have difficulty breaking through its Protective Void Demon Membrane.

"Take it down!"

At Shu Feng’s command, his Black Dog Illusion Demons charged forward, forming a pincer as they lunged at the Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demon.

The Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demon grinned savagely. Thirty-centimeter-long claws shot out from its hands. With a casual swipe, it lashed out at the Black Dog Illusion Demons, crushing their heads one by one.
