Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 62 - 60 Buying Off Wang Erbao Gathering at

He saw Chu Feng burst into a wild laugh, with a “clang” he drew his knife and chopped right at Wang Erbao’s head: “This is at your request!”

“Stand right there, let me give you a slash!”

Wang Erbao took to his heels: “You damn beast, I told you to chop the glove, not to chop me!”

…

The Blood Tree Demon Realm covered an extensive area, but in order not to let a single member of the Demon Clan escape, the Demon Extermination Army had encircled the Demon Realm with defensive fortifications in a great big ring.

Tens of thousands of long spears and short cannons were all aimed in the direction of the Demon Realm.

Should a demon poke its head out, it would be met with a volley of fire on the spot.

One couldn’t use gunpowder weapons within the Demon Realm, but there were no such restrictions outside of it; this was the main reason humans could withstand demon attacks.

As long as the Demon Realm didn’t expand, the Human Race could kill any invading enemy.

But if the Demon Realm were to expand, they would have to rely on the flesh and blood warriors of the Demon Extermination Army to resist the invasion.

The entire Demon Realm was sealed tight without a single leak, leaving only two entrances at the north and south, guarded by the Demon Extermination Army.

For managing the civilian martial artists and Free Warriors entering the Demon Realm to hunt.

Hunting, that’s a fittingly invigorating word.

It implies that humans place themselves above the Demon and Demon Clans, regarding demons as prey.

In the early days of the demon invasions, when it was discovered that gunpowder weapons failed to work within their Domains, many in the human community lost hope in civilization.

Some of them went mad, even believing that demons were messengers sent by God, Buddha, or some other random deity.

They came to Blue Star to punish humanity.

According to their convoluted but somewhat consistent logic, all humans should surrender and await the disposition of these divine messengers.

And humans dare to strike back!

That is the gravest act of disrespect!

So, they harbored extreme hatred for the human armed forces, creating many terrorist attacks in the rear during critical moments of the war with the demons, severely hindering mankind’s efforts.

These extremists even made contact with the Demon Clan, planning to betray their own kind for personal gain.

This caused humans to face dangers from both within and without for a time.

With formidable enemies ahead and traitors behind, those years were sustained with great difficulty.

It wasn’t until the rise of martial arts and the exponential increase in the number of human martial artists that the humans managed to fight the Demon and Demon Clans to a stalemate.

At the same time, they purified the internal traitors with a Scrape Bone Healing approach, stabilizing the war situation for the time being.

Later research by major research institutions on Blue Star revealed that the flesh and blood of the members of the Demon and Demon Clans had various uses.

Most of the Demon Clan’s flesh was non-toxic, containing high-density energy, making it quite suitable for human consumption.

Especially for martial artists, such vast amounts of energy could satisfy the tremendous energy consumption that increased during the process of training martial arts.

With demon beast flesh to eat, there was no longer a need to become big eaters, spending at least two to three hours on meals each day.

Humans had already been suffering from the invasions of the two demon clans, with demons regarding humans as livestock and food.

Having discovered the benefits of demons, and with the vengeful nature of humanity, would they let their enemies have an easy time?

From then on, the demon clans faced an endless and relentless wave of demon hunters.

They roamed the various Demon Realms and Demon Domains, with rich experience and formidable strength, skulking in the lands of their enemies.

They schemed to assassinate higher-ranking demons or slaughtered junior demons en masse, selling the corpses to local powers willing to pay top dollar.

These powers would then process the demon corpses into their own specialty products to release onto the market, feeding back to the human martial artists, enhancing their strength.

Once the closed-loop was formed over time, hunting demons gradually became a massive and intricate industry chain!

The roles played by Demons evolved from “humanity’s greatest enemy” to the current “formidable opponents + prey”.

Of course, if not careful, Demon Hunters could also become delivery food right to their doorsteps.

At the same time, heroes who break the law with martial arts often find it troublesome to interact with ordinary people once they master martial prowess and can become arrogant and difficult to communicate with.

To avoid unnecessary conflicts, Longhua’s major district government arranged for the Demon Extermination Army and the Demon Annihilation Army to establish a Demon Hunter Association outside the Demon Domains, providing services to the hunters while managing and monitoring their movements to prevent crimes.

…

At this moment, a group of ten people had followed He Guanshan to the plaza at the entrance.

Chu Feng was taking in the surroundings.

This place had formed into a small village-town with three streets, lined with storefronts on either side.

There were shops buying Demon Beast materials, as well as those hawking goods to the hunters.

Along the way, he saw banners and placards with slogans like “High price for Demon Soldier Level and above Demon Beast materials” and “50% off mega sale! Shedding blood in selling True Weapons and True Armor”, making Chu Feng feel disoriented.

Perhaps it was only now that his subconscious had fully adjusted to this world and his place within it.

This was no longer the Earth he knew, nor was it the peaceful and quiet China.

Instead, it was the war-torn, otherworldly Blue Star, it was Longhua where battle was welcomed with open arms.

This was a world where strength was revered, a world incredibly dangerous but filled with opportunities everywhere.

Only by gaining formidable power could one protect oneself and one’s comrades, acquire more resources, and achieve a greater status.

The intersection of the three streets formed a semi-circular small plaza, known as Hunter’s Square.

On the square stood many hunters with fierce faces, wearing bizarrely shaped armors, both men and women.

Each was strong-bodied, many with fierce scars on their bodies.

They tightly gripped their weapons, their eyes filled with an indifference that saw life as nothing, exuding a forbidding aura and the martial pressure of warriors.

A group of somewhat green students stood in front of them, like Huskies that had wandered among wolves, their eyes full of clear foolishness.

This scene made the hunters turn their heads now and then, occasionally erupting in raucous laughter.

Some students were not used to this atmosphere and blushed fiercely.

Thankfully, their teachers stood by their sides, preventing any reckless thugs from coming over to make fun of them.

On the northern side of the square was a huge and rough iron gate, guarded by two rows of soldiers.

Their sharp gazes were chilling as they closely watched hunters passing in and out.

Behind the gate was a vast gray curtain that from this distance truly seemed to obscure the sky and sun, its sight causing one’s heart to tighten over time.

One couldn’t help but marvel at such a wonder.

Such grand power, yet it sustained those terrifying Demons, truly a painful thought.

Chu Feng secretly mused, ‘Just standing here, I can feel waves of despair rising within me.

‘What kind of mindset did the martial predecessors of Longhua have when they went to battle the Demons bursting out from within?’

He couldn’t fathom the answer, but his respect for the fallen was profound.

The gates were flanked by tall walls that stretched farther than the eye could see, lined with all types of spears and guns.

Many soldiers in military attire stood on the walls with weapons in hand, facing the direction of the Demon Realm, never slackening for a moment.

Should the Demon Realm begin to expand and the firepower from the walls become ineffective, they would be Ning River’s last line of defense.

The iron gate and the walls had completely lost their original color, covered by vast swathes of dark brown stains.

Chu Feng looked for a long time and could roughly guess that those stains were all dried blood traces.

One could glimpse from here the past brutal battles that must have taken place within this stronghold.

After a while, He Guanshan came from the direction of the gate and solemnly said to Chu Feng and the others:

“Everyone, check your supplies, weapons, and communication devices again, and always be ready for battle.

“Although the base inside the Demon Realm can provide the necessities for survival, the prices are exorbitant, and the supplies are limited, resulting in a loss that does not pay for itself.

“Moreover, the base often suffers attacks from Demon Beasts, and if the supply point is destroyed or you are accidentally separated from others,

“The ample supplies in your backpacks may very well save your lives!”

After Chu Feng had checked his backpack, he took a deep breath and thought to himself, ‘Everything is ready, I only await the battle!

‘Since the trial cannot be avoided, I must find a way to earn enough Attribute Points inside to pave the way for my future!

‘Open the panel!’
