Chapter 14 - Sudden Violence (2/2)

"Other than the demon Qi Practitioners, there's still a dark and evil ancient aura… Could it be stronger than the demon Qi Practitioners?"

"Way beyond the level of the demon Qi Practitioners, but the ancient aura seems to be suppressed and sealed, or it might just be in deep hibernation. It could even already be dead. All in all, it only gave off a slight trickle of aura."

Xin Huo meticulously sensed, he said, "I can see, the demon Qi Practitioners are preparing to start a sacrificial ceremony of great scale, trying to awaken that ancient aura, if they succeed… then things would get really fun. It will definitely make the country bumpkins of Swords Gate go crazy! Young descendant of the Fuxi Celestial Race, if you hand over control of your body to me now, I can bring you to safety, but in that case, I will be exposed, and I can only fight our way out of Swords Gate. We would henceforth be on the path of the wanderer."

The little flame was filled with excitement, he said, "I am not as strong as before, and I haven't found a suitable inheritor of Xin Huo. There are still strong figures in the Swords Gate that can stop me; hence, while escaping, I am planning to detonate and release the devil souls beneath the Swords Gate! These devil souls are countless times stronger than the ancient air. They can definitely wash the Swords Gate in blood. Then we can find our way out…"

Allowing Xin Huo to control my body is definitely not going to happen!

Zhong Yue erased the dangerous idea from his mind; this Xin Huo was definitely way more dangerous than the demons!

"Kiddo Yue, if you are really about to get killed, no matter what, I will step in and intervene regardless of your opinion!" Xin Huo shouted in Zhong Yue's psyche ocean.

Zhong Yue pondered and thought carefully; suddenly, an idea came into his mind, and he was renewed with spirit. He whispered, "Senior Martial Sister Ting, Senior Martial Brother He, when we meet with the next wave of demons, just show them a little resistance and let them capture us, I have a plan that might just get us out of here!"

Ting Lanyue and the others were visibly moved. They could vaguely guess his plan. They gazed at each other and slightly nodded.

Zhong Yue immediately unpacked the two eight-foot-long darksteel scythes and buried them in the ground.

Ting Lanyue was getting a little worried, she whispered to him, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, how far can your psyche reach? Is it really able to…"

Zhong Yue shook his head and replied in a low voice, "Keep quiet! The demons are coming!"

"There, humans!"

The sounds of the demons were creepy and eerie, a group of Spider Demons found them, and a few female Spider Demons exclaimed in delight, "There are little bull calves of humans! If you dare to resist, we will slaughter the little heifers and have fun with you little bull calves!"

The faces of the male disciples turned pale white instantly, they feigned resistance and then allowed the demons to capture them. The Spider Demons spurted out silks of spiderwebs, tightly trussing up the upper house disciples.

"Little bull calves of humans..."

One of the female Spider Demons caressed He Chengchuan's cheek with affection. She smiled, "Eating up the little bull calves while having sex is the thing I love to do the most!"

The leader, a mutated Spider Demon warned her, "Don't stir up any troubles, the elders still need their blood as offerings to the ancestors!"

Dozens of low-status Mantis Demons came forward and carried the human prisoners on their shoulders, carrying them deep into the Demon Ruins.

"Bring them all up to the sacrificial altar! When the elders arrive, we will sacrifice these two-legged sheep, offer them to our demon ancestors and awaken the spirits of the ancient ancestor!"

One of the Mantis Demons that seemed to be the group leader was overlooking the progress, he said excitedly, "And we will awaken the common ancestor of the demons, the Tian Myriad Mother!"

"Tian Myriad Mother?"

On the carrying pole, the hearts of the disciples skipped a beat. Ting Lanyue mumbled, "Shit, these abominable creatures want to awaken the Tian Myriad Mother…"

Zhong Yue asked curiously, "Senior martial sister, what is this Tian Myriad Mother?"

Before she was able to answer the question, the Mantis Demon group leader said with a belittling smile, "Tian Myriad Mother is the common ancestor of the Great Wilderness demons, the devil god of the demon race! The firstborn of Tian Myriad Mother was the ancestor of the Tian Elephant demons; her second child was the ancestor of the Hawk Demons; the third was the Fire Demons' ancestor… while we, the Mantis Demons, are the descendants of her youngest child. Our status is lower than the others but still higher than you humans. You, humans, are merely livestock, many years ago our ancestors preyed upon the humans. Especially you little human heifers, we will catch you and then strip you of your clothes…"

The Mantis Demon group leader pinched the cheek of Ting Lanyue, he laughed mockingly, unbeknownst to him, miles behind them at the spot where Zhong Yue and the others were captured, two big scythes came out from the soil and followed behind them close to the ground!

Unknowingly, the Mantis Demons carried them away from the encirclement of the demons. Zhong Yue and the others glanced at the surroundings, the demons were getting fewer in number, while in the middle of the Demon Ruins, the smoke of Demonic Qi rose high into the sky. That should be the spot of the sacrificial altar that the demons spoke about.

"Die!"

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue sonorously shouted out loud, the two eight feet scythes appeared out of nowhere, whirling and whizzing through the air. The two scythes sliced through the Mantis Demons from the back end of the line straight through to the front!

Pu Pu Pu!!

The heads of the Mantis Demons carrying the poles jetted up into the sky as the demon blood spurted out from their necks. Not a single Mantis Demon head was left attached to its respective body. Right at this time, under the control of Zhong Yue's psyche, the two scythes boomeranged back—shua shua shua—shining streaks of blade light could be seen as the scythes cut through the head of the Mantis Demon group leader!

The psyche gushed out from in between his eyebrows—shua shua shua—shining lines of blade slashes and the spiderwebs that restrained him were no more. He leaped up and manipulated the scythes to help the others break free from the spiderwebs. He solemnly said, "We must go now, we might still be able to make it out of the Demon Ruins alive!"
