Chapter 1376: Chapter 615: Slaying Demons with a Flick of the Hand (Part 2)

"No need."

What?

Lu Qiaochun followed Yu Ji’s gaze to the second floor and saw Fang Yu holding a demon’s head, overlooking the chaos below.

The battle on the second floor was over.

The demons were completely defeated!

"The demons are eliminated, we should leave."

Yu Ji and the other immediately followed orders.

Yu Ji shouted, sweeping his attack to push everyone back, then leaped to land behind Fang Yu.

"Ji Caizu, your skills are decent, but still lacking in some aspects."

Lu Qiaochun launched a Qi Blade to strike Ji Caizu’s leg, forcing her to retreat a few steps, because she foresaw that if she kicked out, her leg would definitely be severed on the spot!

Lu Qiaochun then made a deep leap, landing behind Fang Yu.

"Let’s go."

Throwing down the demon’s head, Fang Yu turned to leave.

The other two quickly followed.

"Where are you running?!"

"You scoundrels! What did you do to our Great Instructor?!"

The angry crowd wanted to pursue but was stopped by the cautious Ji Caizu.

Ignorance is fearless.

Ji Caizu had personally fought those two, so she knew their strength was extraordinary, perhaps even above her!

And the mysterious being on the second floor was even more outlandish.

From the moment news spread until the battle ended, not much time had passed, yet the demon had already been killed by that person.

Initially, Ji Caizu thought it might be a weak demon, but after the Old Hall Master himself inspected it, he evaluated it as an extremely dangerous super strong demon.

Even two or three Great Instructors together might not be a match for this demon.

Yet such a powerful demon was swiftly slain by that mysterious powerhouse on the second floor.

"Where did... such a terrifying person come from?"

Ji Caizu felt fortunate she didn’t engage with the monsters on the second floor, as she certainly wouldn’t be a match for any of them.

...

[Red Blood Claw Demon: 0/45555]

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for defeating the [Red Blood Claw Demon], gaining 1518 experience points.]

[System Prompt: Experience points surpassed 100, converted to 15 attribute points in total.]

This feels great!

It was an incredible start!

The first unidentified suspicious entity was a demon, and not just any, but a Great Demon with over forty thousand blood!

In the Blood Mist, Fang Yu underwent Local Boneification briefly, boosting damage and hastening the demon’s death.

Additionally, by popping the demon’s head in human form, the blood line was directly suppressed, quickly resolving the battle.

Possibly due to long disguise in human skin, the demon seemed unfamiliar in its own fighting, visibly reacquainting itself with its body swiftly.

Unfortunately, the warm-up was not complete before being slain, akin to a boss entering phase two while posing, only to have the health bar emptied.

"You two, well done."

Fang Yu spoke generously, feeling cheerful.

However, his words made Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji appear slightly awkward.

Earlier he expressed disappointment in them, and now he praises their work.

Strictly speaking, they didn’t contribute much earlier.

After cautiously observing Fang Yu’s reaction, they confirmed it wasn’t sarcasm, and exchanged glances.

Luckily the new leader’s memory was short; he didn’t blame them, else their performance at the teahouse would be deemed substandard.

"We didn’t do much; it’s because of the lord’s strength," Lu Qiaochun said sincerely.

She sensed the intensity of the second-floor demon; whether she could defeat it was uncertain, even if possible, it’d be a tough fight.

Beside her, Yu Ji was even less capable, but they might elevate their combat strength together, though still facing substantial pressure to take down the Great Demon.

"The lord is impressive," Yu Ji remarked earnestly.

Their praises made Fang Yu burst into laughter.

But this was only the beginning.

With the map at hand, Fang Yu wouldn’t return without earning a hundred attribute points today!

The first target exploded; if the subsequent ones are of similar caliber, returns will skyrocket.

"Follow me, we’ll soon arrive at the next target’s location."

So fast?!

Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji were visibly shocked.

This pace was somewhat absurd.

News perhaps hadn’t spread from the teahouse, yet they were already heading for the next mission.

"Still hunting demons?" Lu Qiaochun hesitantly asked.

Fang Yu didn’t respond but led them straight into a brothel.

But soon, Fang Yu emerged with them.

"Let’s go."

Fang Yu’s tone was a bit colder.

This time the suspected target was merely human.

The Rebel Army wasted time based on rumors.

Fang Yu ended it with a glance, while Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji followed behind, puzzled.

They had entered the brothel, sat briefly on the second floor, before the lord stood and left.

What... was that?

Was the mission now not about hunting demons?

And where were they headed?

Uncertain, unclear, very bewildered.

All they could do was keep pace with Fang Yu.

Shortly.

Fang Yu found a new target.

The only issue was, the person was on the street, causing Fang Yu to stop abruptly, nearly heading into a tavern according to the map’s intel.

"What’s wrong?"

Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji curiously halted.

"Cover me."

Fang Yu said only this, suddenly charging toward someone in the crowd.

As Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji reacted.

Bang!!

A Blood Mist emerged from the street.

"A demon, a demon?!"

"Not good! A demon!"

"Do not fear! Foolish Underworld Hundred Households Lao Ran is here! Bold demon, surrender at once!"

Some exclaimed, some shouted, some fled. The street quickly turned chaotic.

Seeing this, Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji rushed into the Blood Mist.

In no time, the mist faded, leaving a demon’s bisected corpse on the ground, while the slayer had vanished.

"Dead, it’s dead?"

Foolish Underworld Hundred Households Lao Ran scanned quickly, then loudly declared.

"Not even handling one attack, mere demon, nothing significant! Rest assured, this demon is slain by me! No need to fear!"

The crowd cheered for Foolish Underworld, surrounding the Hundred Households in gratitude and conversation, creating a lively scene.

"Tsk." Yu Ji clicked his tongue, saying little more.

While Lu Qiaochun coldly remarked, "These Foolish Underworld dogs are truly shameless. With his strength, can he even wield a sword? Slaying demons!"

Fang Yu checked the map and said, "Let’s go to the next place."

Nothing they could say, they just followed.

But this pace, this task efficiency, was completely different from their usual missions.

They typically undertook one mission per day, eliminating one demon, and then returned for a reward based on achievements.

Such consecutive demon fights hadn’t been encountered before.

After all, demons don’t just appear out of nowhere, their presence signs are noticed, reports are confirmed, and then missions are launched to gather forces to annihilate demons.

This process takes time, often allowing other factions within the Foolish Underworld to gain intel, sparking competitive races for the right to hunt demons.

Therefore, involvement in one demon eradication task was the limit, let alone consecutive fights. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Unexpectedly, today, led by the new Minister, they experienced back-to-back encounters, and from current circumstances, two or three demons aren’t the limit.

Though slightly straining, the recent demon slaying only took about an hour.

At this rate, excluding rest periods, slaying ten demons today wasn’t impossible.

The question arises, does Thunder City truly harbor that many demons?
