Chapter 40: Killing Towards The Gathering Place

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“This little brother is truly powerful.”

Cries of shock rang out from afar. Evidently, these mercenaries from the Crazed Dragon Mercenary Group had seen the scene of Lin Feng killing those asura devils. All of them were stunned, shocked, and impressed.

Lin Feng let out a sigh. “I don’t dare to accept the praise. I’m just trying to do my best.”

Although he was humble, Lin Feng continued to kill the other demons and devils.

Su Zimo and the others recovered from their daze and also rapidly rushed over to kill the demons and devils.

After an intense battle, those demons and devils suffered a great defeat and fled the area.

“Haha, it feels so refreshing. My name is Fan Wei. Brother, how should I address you?” The mercenary in the lead clasped his fist and asked straightforwardly.

“Lin Feng.”

…

“So it’s Brother Lin. I really wished to have a good drink with a young hero like Brother Lin, but right now, the demons and devils are still running rampant and we don’t have much time. We can only wait for another chance in the future,” said Fan Wei with regret in his voice.

“If we meet again in the future, I will definitely have a good drink with Brother Wei.” Lin Feng also clasped his fist.

“Let’s go.”

Fan Wei and the others didn’t stay for too long. They departed swiftly after that.

Lin Feng’s group of seven didn’t stay in the area either.

“Now that our warhorses were killed, our traveling speed is simply too slow.” Lin Feng frowned as they traveled.

Su Zimo replied, “There’s a small town a hundred miles away from here. We can go there to buy a few warhorses.”

“Right. We have to trouble Brother Su to lead the way then.” Lin Feng nodded his head.

The seven of them moved out, heading toward the little town Su Zimo mentioned.

The territory governed by the True Martial Country was simply too vast. From east to west, it stretched over 300,000 kilometers; from south to north, 700,000 kilometers. The land was too vast for the populace. One usually had to travel for a few days at least to run into a village or small town, and they might not even be able to see one.

The next day, Lin Feng’s group arrived outside the small town Su Zimo had told them about.

When they arrived, they discovered that the air above the small town was enveloped by blood-colored light.

Their expressions changed. Lin Feng spoke in a low voice, “I’m afraid that the devils and demons have already harmed this town. Let us act!”

Swish~

The seven of them sped into the small town. After they entered, they only saw blood dyeing the ground of the small town completely red.

Numerous corpses were seen lying on the ground, their blood sucked dry, leading to them becoming dried husks.

There were even the bodies of animals.

These demons and devils didn’t spare a single human or animal.

“Ahh…” A scream of misery rang out from the depths of the small town.

The seven of them increased their speed and soon saw a mansion being surrounded by a hundred demons and devils.

The environment here wasn’t bad originally. Some of the clans in the city would construct mansions like this, and if some strangers passed by or if someone wished to enter the forest to hunt, they could use this place as a place to rest.

Also, this mansion looked extremely luxurious. It might have been constructed by some major clans in the city.

There were tens of guards fighting against the demons and devils, but humans kept dying with each passing second. The situation was extremely dangerous for them.

“There are still some living people. Senior brothers, we have to be careful when we attack. Do not let these creatures injure you or things will be very troublesome,” Lin Feng warned in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, we will take care of ourselves.” Zhang Qichu and the others nodded.

Swish, swish, swish~

The seven of them rapidly rushed toward the hundred demons and devils.

Lin Feng took the lead. Zhang Qichu, Su Zimo, and Wang Xuanming formed a group while Zhang Muzhi, Li Kun, and Ouyang Li formed the second group.

They arranged themselves in a formation resembling the character ‘品’, which would allow them to attack and defend, as well as to support each other.

This was a combination sword technique passed down by the Long River Branch Court. Its name was the human-shape sword formation.

“There are still human cultivators here, and their qi and blood brims with vitality! Let’s kill them all and drink all their blood!” An earthfiend devil hoarsely called out.

Swish~

After that, forty to fifty asura devils, earthfiend devils, ox-head monsters, and various demons and devils lunged toward Lin Feng’s group.

“Madam, they are from the Jialan Academy.” Some of the guards had good judgment and instantly recognized the robes Lin Feng and the others were wearing.

The eyes of a beautiful middle-aged woman hiding in the mansion gleamed. She said, “Everyone, the experts of the Jialan Academy have arrived. Let’s persist a little longer; we will definitely be able to escape this calamity.” The voice of this middle-aged woman was weak and gentle; it was very pleasing to the ears.

Behind the beautiful middle-aged woman, there was still a young girl about fifteen to sixteen years of age. She was clad in yellow, had a lanky figure, and was also extremely beautiful.

“Mother, will we be saved?” The originally pale face of the young girl suddenly regained its color as she asked in joy and surprise.

The beautiful middle-aged woman nodded. “Dong`er, don’t be afraid. The students of the Jialan Academy are here. We’re gonna be okay.”

….

The morale of the guards instantly surged.

“Lowly human, just let us suck your blood dry!” Tens of devils and demons rushed Lin Feng.

“Blazing Sun Sword Art! The divine sword unsheathed!”

Lin Feng’s face was cold as he pulled out his sword.

Blazing Sun Rises Up The Sky.

“Argh, my eyes…!” As the piercing rays flashed, those evil demons and devils instantly let out howls of pain. They had no way to open their eyes.

The Blazing Sun Sword Art could manifest a ball of fiery flames resembling the sun. It was a very domineering sword art that belonged to the extreme yang category.

It was best used to counter evil creatures of Yin nature.

Fortunately, these demons and devils were all considered evil Yin creatures, and they were completely countered by Lin Feng’s Blazing Sword Art.

Pu.

Lin Feng unleashed his sword with lightning speed.

A cold light flashed as the sword intent towered up the sky.

Slashing sounds echoed out and soon after, many demons and devils were killed by Lin Feng. On the other side, Zhang Qichu’s group also killed many enemies, slaying tens of demons and devils.

Zhang Muzhi’s group also unleashed their prowess, destroying the devils and demons in the area around them.

Although the strength of these six wasn’t stronger than Lin Feng, they were still students of Jialan Academy and were considered geniuses. Their strength wouldn’t be too much weaker in comparison to Lin Feng’s in any case.

In the blink of an eye, over fifty demons and devils were killed by the seven of them.

They directly entered the mansion and joined forces with the guards guarding the interior, attacking the other fifty-plus demons and devils together.

“Ah, let’s flee quickly!” Upon seeing that the situation was bad for them, the demons turned and wanted to flee.

“Where can you all flee to?” Lin Feng coldly laughed. He rushed out and killed one of them. Under the coordination and cooperation from Zhang Qichu and the others, all the vile creatures were killed. Not a single demon or devil was able to escape.

“They are dead, these monsters are finally dead! Many thanks to young heroes for saving our lives!” These guards all thanked Lin Feng and his group respectfully.

“Everyone, there’s no need to be so polite.” Lin Feng waved his hand.

“We are unable to repay the great kindness of the young heroes. Here are a million taels of silver. Young hero, please accept this.”

The middle-aged woman took out a banknote, wanting to thank Lin Feng.

As for that young girl, Lin Feng’s impression in her heart was extremely deep after she had seen him displaying his prowess. She would occasionally cast a glance at Lin Feng and blush.

Lin Feng rejected. “Slaying demons and devils are what we ought to do. Sadly, we came too late by a step, and thousands of people in the town were all already massacred by them.”

The beautiful middle-aged woman spoke, “Young hero is righteous. But even so, you would still need some travel expenses. After you reach a major city, you all will be able to purchase the necessities.”

The beautiful middle-aged woman wanted Lin Feng to accept the money. Lin Feng had rejected once, but since she insisted, he could only keep the banknote.

Zhang Qichu then asked, “The army of demons and devils actually came to this area. Hmm, do you know where they are going?”

“Those demons and devils are gathering at the depths of the mountain range northeastern from here. Their leader is a yaksha and they have over a thousand soldiers. Many of the towns in the surroundings had already been completely massacred,” replied the beautiful middle-aged woman.

“Damnable vile creatures.” Lin Feng’s expression turned cold, revealing a sinister killing intent.

He turned his head and glanced at the beautiful middle-aged woman. “All of you best rush back to Jialan City and hide away in safety while it’s still daylight.”

“We will pack our things and leave for Jialan City right away. We are from the Yin Clan of Jialan City. Young hero, if you are free, you can pay us a visit. At that time, I will definitely reward young hero properly for saving our lives,” said the beautiful middle-aged woman.

“If there’s a chance to, I will definitely pay a visit.” Lin Feng clasped his hands. After that, he left with Zhang Qichu and the others, heading straight for the gathering place of the other demons and devils.

Upon seeing Lin Feng departing, the young woman named Dong`er felt some reluctance. She spoke, “Mother, I also want to join the Jialan Academy.”

The beautiful middle-aged woman nodded. “After we return to Jialan City, mother will find someone to send you there to cultivate.”

“That’s wonderful.”

Yin Dong`er smiled after hearing that.

…

Su Zimo spoke, “Junior brother Lin, what are your plans?”

Everyone turned to Lin Feng.

Clearly, they all unanimously felt that he was the leader.

“We have to annihilate these demons and devils or they will only prove to become a huge source of trouble to the innocents. Tonight, we will infiltrate their gathering place. To capture a nest of thieves, we must first capture their king. As long as we kill the yaksha, the other devils and demons would be defeated easily,” said Lin Feng.

“We have the same thoughts as well.” Zhang Qichu and the others nodded.

Feng Lin’s group then headed to the gathering place of the demons during nightfall.

They could see black mist churning in the air above this particular mountain range and there were patrolling guards all around. Some were even flying asuras, coldly monitoring the area as they flew through the air. The defense here was so air-tight that not even a drop of water could leak out.
