Chapter 26 Twilight Mountain Town 19
Chapter 26 Twilight Mountain Town 19
It was completely light.
They held on desperately for several hours, but the intense exertion gradually became too much for everyone to handle.
"If we had known it would turn out like this, we would have been better off not lifting the seal. They were hiding so well, and now that they're out, who knows how many people they'll hurt," Zhao Sicheng complained.
"Who knew there would be so many demons inside? We didn't do it on purpose," Xie Xiao retorted.
Yes, who knew there would be so many demons inside.
Wen Li subconsciously turned to look at Shen Yingsi and saw that he was staring intently at the group of demons in the forest, looking tense, and using all his strength to channel spiritual energy into his hands.
There was nothing wrong. Just as Wen Li was about to relax and look away, Shen Yingsi suddenly turned his head to meet her gaze, the corners of his mouth slowly turning upwards, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Nonsense! The protagonist is the biggest villain right now!
Sure enough, the next second Wen Li saw him free one hand and cast a spell.
not good!
Just as Wen Li was about to take out the ghost talisman to stop them, the barrier broke, and a wolf demon escaped!
"We can't hold them off any longer! Everyone, grab your swords!" Zhao Sicheng gripped his Cold Dust Sword tightly and charged forward.
Upon seeing this, Wen Mingzhu and Xie Xiao drew their swords and stepped forward.
"Wait a moment!"
Their defensive barrier gradually crumbled, and the wolf pack escaped completely.
Chaos! Utter chaos!
Wen Mingzhu shouted, "Stop them! Don't let them hurt the villagers!"
These wolf demons were all low-level demons with low cultivation levels, no match for them, but their sheer number was overwhelming. Wen Li and her group were actually the weaker party.
They can't be stopped, they simply can't be stopped, and if this goes on for too long, they might even lose their lives!
"Borrowing divine power to relieve my worries."
Wen Li struck the wolf demons in front of her with the ghost talisman, and several fell, but new ones quickly appeared. She had to deal with the wolf demons while also protecting the unconscious Qingshan, so she was really overwhelmed.
Two wolves were entangled in front of her, and another one jumped up from above. By the time Wen Li had dealt with the first two, she was no longer able to defend herself against the one on top. Just as she was about to be scratched by the wolf's claws, a gun shot appeared in front of her, and the wolf was killed.
It's Shen Yingsi!
Wen Li gripped the red silk sword in his hand, wanting to continue killing demons, but the person in front of him beat him to it and killed the demon!
Yes, he was hacked to death, split in two from head to toe—it was extremely cruel. Blood, flesh, and internal organs were all exposed.
Shen Yingsi's once fair and jade-like face was now stained with blood, but he seemed oblivious, his eyes gleaming with excitement. The more he killed, the more excited and energetic he became. A slight smile even played on his lips, and the red mole on his forehead and his clean, beautiful eyes made it difficult to tell whether he was a god or a demon.
Gods are the nemesis of demons, born to subdue them. He is the reincarnation of a true god, and killing demons is his nature.
Even Wen Mingzhu looked at him with fear. Was this still the gentle and refined Crown Prince? They had known each other since childhood, but they rarely had the chance to meet each year. The Crown Prince was very busy. Apart from seeing him in the Empress's palace, she had always secretly watched him outside, but she had never seen him slay a demon.
The mad prince who slays demons and evil spirits—she used to think it was exaggerated, but now she felt it was far more than that.
Xie Xiao looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Your Highness was once fierce and valiant in slaying demons, but never as cruelly as you are today. And how has Your Highness's cultivation improved so much recently?
At this rate, this pack of wolf demons might not even be enough for him to kill!
Seeing this, the wolf demon dared not approach them again and ran away for its life.
Seeing this, Zhao Sicheng shouted, "Quick, after them!"
Wen Mingzhu and Xie Xiao hurriedly chased after them. But Shen Yingsi remained where he was, staring coldly at their departing figures.
"Hurry and chase them! These wolf demons will harm the people of Mushan Town!" Wen Li turned to look at Shen Yingsi.
Shen Yingsi sheathed his spear, stretched his neck, and the smile on his lips remained unchanged. He retorted, "Wouldn't it be better to teach these idiots a lesson?"
His tone was relaxed, and his expression was cheerful. In his previous life, he had already fallen into demonic possession, and in this life, he was already afflicted with demonic poison. Neither human nor demon, his very bones were already tainted with killing.
Feeling agitated, wanting to see blood, wanting to kill, he followed his heart and did just that.
Wen Li is going crazy now. A lesson? What is this madwoman talking about?
"It's all over, host. The protagonist has committed too many evil deeds, which has affected his merit points. In the end, he will never be able to become a god," Si Xiaxia said in despair.
Why did you just do that?
"Why? It's funny. The way you guys try to save everything is really ridiculous."
He even laughed as he spoke, and seeing his wicked appearance, Wen Li tried her best to suppress her anger.
“Shen Yingsi, you know that you are the reincarnation of a true god, and saving the world is your mission.”
Shen Yingsi smiled sarcastically and asked doubtfully, "Save the common people?"
His gaze was fixed on Wen Li's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her entire being.
“Wen Li, how can you say something so ridiculous? How can one person possibly save all living beings?”
“If one person can’t save them, then what about the gods? Didn’t you, the God of the Green Lamp, save all living beings back then?” Wen Li retorted.
These words seemed to enrage Shen Yingsi, and anger rose in his eyes: "I am not a god! Nor can I become a god! That fool Qingdeng is not me either; he is the evil one who destroyed all living beings! That is not me!"
Shen Yingsi suddenly became restless and uneasy, unlike his usual calm demeanor. Instead, he seemed like a confused young man, just like his age.
Wen Li didn't know why Shen Yingsi had suddenly gone mad. All she knew was that if Shen Yingsi didn't kill the pack of wolf demons, everyone in Mushan Town would be dead.
Wen Li stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yingsi's hand, patting his back reassuringly: "You are not him, you are just Shen Yingsi, so Shen Yingsi should go and save people, right?"
Shen Yingsi seemed to have calmed down. He quietly looked down at Wen Li, his beautiful eyes free of any distracting thoughts.
Wen Li glanced at Qingshan, who was still lying there, gritted her teeth, fed him a Rejuvenation Pill, and set up a barrier around him. After doing this, Wen Li pulled Shen Yingsi forward. They needed to deal with the wolf demon matter first, lest they all die before she could overturn the case.
Wen Li held Shen Yingsi's hand and carried him on a flying sword. Surprisingly, he remained silent and made no resistance the whole way.
Before long they arrived at Mushan Town. Contrary to their expectations of a tragic scene, the town was peaceful.
This surprised Wen Li, but it was alright.
"What a pity." Shen Yingsi's voice rang in my ears.
Wen Li ignored him and continued to investigate along the path of the demonic energy, but the route of the remaining demonic energy seemed somewhat familiar.
It seems to be Zhao Family Village! Jing Chan might be in danger. Wen Li quickened her pace.
Sure enough, Zhao Family Village was filled with demonic energy. From above, it looked like a dark, dense mass of wolf demons. Wen Mingzhu and her companions stood opposite the wolf pack.
But as she got closer, Wen Li noticed something was wrong.
In the open space in front of the village, all the wolf demons transformed into their original forms and lined up in neat rows, like an orderly army. Each of them stood tall and proud, their expressions solemn, their eyes devoutly fixed on the leader at the front of the procession.
The man was tall and strong, with a very robust physique. He had a handsome and rugged appearance, and his face exuded an air of authority and murderous intent.
A name flashed through Wen Li's mind—Huo Zhao.
At this moment, he transformed into human form, completely concealing his demonic aura. He held a large sword in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He didn't resemble a demon, but rather a general defending the territory.
Strangely, he wasn't wearing armor suitable for fighting, but rather a festive wedding outfit.
