Chapter 47: Chapter 47: 800 Years of Power, the Might of the Golden Bell

"You knew I would come all along. It seems the demon fiend colluding with Wei Qingyuan is you."

This setup clearly indicated that the people of the Black Wind Stronghold had been setting a trap for him for quite some time.

Wei Fan was unfazed, as he never thought he could silently kill the Crocodile Demon and retreat.

"Collusion? It’s just mutual exploitation. That old bear was taken down by you, and you’ve cleared out the city. How could we be unprepared!"

The Crocodile Demon revealed a fierce expression: "You killed my son; today, you won’t escape even if you grow wings."

Wei Fan remained expressionless: "Since you know the old bear was taken down by me, and you are similar to him, where does your confidence come from that you can kill me? With these crossbows under your command?"

The Crocodile Demon sneered: "Of course not. Beneath your feet now, it’s already filled with explosives and fire oil. I only need a spark to send you to the sky."

Wei Fan nodded: "Explosives and fire oil? However, if I die, not many of your subordinates would survive either. Do you really disregard their lives like that?"

Upon hearing this, the Crocodile Demon maintained his composure, but Wei Fan noticed that a hint of fear appeared on the faces of the crossbowmen.

If the explosives and fire oil exploded, which would kill Wei Fan, many who were nearby would also likely die. Not many people are unafraid of death.

"Hold on, Brother Wei!"

Suddenly, the sounds of battle cries came from outside, as Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong discovered Wei Fan was ambushed and charged in.

"There are actually reinforcements too. Light the fire quickly!"

The Crocodile Demon commanded loudly, but his subordinates hesitated for a moment.

In that brief moment, Wei Fan had already seized the opportunity, bursting forth with dazzling golden light.

In the blink of an eye, a massive golden bell stood inverted above his head, with tiger and dragon figures vividly etched on it.

"What is this? Martial Arts Golden Bell Shield?"

The Crocodile Demon stared blankly at the golden bell manifesting on Wei Fan’s body. How could the Golden Bell Shield be so large and realistic, without any display of intertwining True Qi? It looked as real as an actual entity.

Clang...

The next moment, a profound and resonant bell sound rang out, and the tiger and dragon figures on the bell opened their mouths and roared fiercely.

In an instant, the Tiger Roar and Dragon’s Chant echoed, with a terrifying sound wave sweeping outward like a massive tide.

Under the terrifying sonic attack, explosives, fire oil, and torches burst and detonated, collapsing buildings in all directions as if explosives were installed.

"Run!"

Someone shouted in terror, frantically trying to escape the range of the sonic attack, only to be torn apart mid-air.

"How is this possible!"

The Crocodile Demon felt a chill down his spine, his body cracking open as he frantically retreated backward.

"Is that the Golden Bell Shield?"

Not far away, Ning Xuan pointed with a trembling finger at the colossal golden bell towering in the dark, blood qi surging uncontrollably, unable to gather True Qi.

The bandits of Black Wind Stronghold attacking them had long been incapacitated by the terrifying sound wave, bleeding from their mouths and noses.

A single sonic wave nearly wiped out Black Wind Stronghold.

At that moment, Ning Xuan felt a shiver down his spine, more shaken than when he first learned that Wei Fan practiced Horizontal Cultivation of Innate.

"The Golden Bell Shield is just a True Qi martial arts technique; how could it have such power? What’s on Wei Fan must be the legendary Divine Soldier."

Su Xuerong’s gaze was filled with doubt and disbelief. She had seen others’ Golden Bell Shields before, but whose could exhibit such might? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"You see, your explosives and fire oil were useless. Do you have any other tricks?"

The ground around Wei Fan had been swept clean, with no trace of gunpowder left.

The Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield’s power to kill en masse left him extremely satisfied.

Most of the encircling enemies had been killed by the sound wave, leaving only the Crocodile Demon, who stood further away.

Even though he still stood, his body was cracked open, blood spilling from his mouth and nose, staring horrified at the nearly leveled Black Wind Stronghold.

"You’re not human. What kind of demon fiend are you?"

The Crocodile Demon stared fearfully at the inverted golden bell, feeling Wei Fan seemed more demon-like than himself.

Such destructive power was terrifying; if he hadn’t stood far away, he would’ve been torn apart.

Crack...

Severe injuries finally prevented him from maintaining human form, transforming into a giant crocodile on the ground, breaking apart and bleeding continuously.

"If you have no means left, I’ll send you off!"

Wei Fan strode forward, slashing out a several-meter-long Sword Gang.

The Crocodile Demon, disregarding recovery, scurried across the ground, fervently attempting to flee.

Boom!

Yet he was still a bit slow, as his tail was sliced in half by Wei Fan, emanating a charred odor, with a plume of smoke rising.

Screaming in agony, he continued his desperate escape.

After running a short distance, he suddenly noticed something amiss and hurriedly looked up.

In mid-air, Wei Fan descended like a falling meteor, pinning the Crocodile Demon to the ground with a single slash.

The gigantic body squirmed a few times before slowly falling silent.

[Crocodile Demon slain, gained 160 years of power]

[Current Power Level: 874 years]

Seeing the number 874, Wei Fan’s expression lit up with joy; a spree of killing had earned him over five hundred years of power.

"Brother Wei..."

Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong approached, yet found their throats dry when facing Wei Fan, unable to say anything beyond addressing him as Brother Wei.

The shock had not yet faded from their faces, their minds still in turmoil.

The massive golden bell overturned seemed still present in their vision, with the Tiger Roar and Dragon’s Chant echoing in their ears.

They stared blankly at Wei Fan.

Wei Fan nodded lightly: "You go gather the remaining people!"

His single bell toll had not killed everyone in Black Wind Stronghold; those who died mostly were the ones the Crocodile Demon used for ambush, while those farther away were only injured.

Amongst the rubble, surviving individuals started crawling out, looking desperately aghast at the ruined Black Wind Stronghold.

Ning Xuan took a deep breath, ultimately without any of the questions he wanted to ask, nodding, "Alright!"

"All three chiefs are dead!"

"The first chief was actually a demon. He was the Crocodile Demon!"

"Damn it, we were forced into banditry by the demon, yet became subordinates to a demon fiend."

"Those missing people before were consumed by the first chief in secret!"

...

Clearly, even among the Black Wind Stronghold, not many knew the first chief was a demon fiend.

Gazing at the gigantic dead crocodile, the survivors displayed expressions of fear mixed with hatred.

Quickly, the remaining survivors gathered together, totaling about a hundred people.

Wei Fan chose not to kill them all, as most were ordinary people, only picking out those whose panels showed a reaction.

This act left the rest trembling with fear.

"I know most of you were forced up the mountains; I won’t pursue it now. Just tell me where the Crocodile Demon’s treasury is, and you can all leave the mountain."

"Now that the demon fiends are gone, you can peacefully return home. However, remember not to commit evil once back home."

He had no intention of imprisoning them, as the panels did not react, indicating they likely hadn’t committed many wrongdoings; better to release them directly.

Forced by the world’s circumstances, there was no need for blind execution.

Moreover, Yun City’s jails were already full, and there was nowhere to detain over a hundred people even if captured.

"Thank you Chief Wei for sparing us!"

"Chief Wei, I know where the demon’s treasure is!"

"I’ll take Chief Wei there!"

"I know too!"

...

Upon hearing Wei Fan intended to spare them, the people expressed joy and quickly offered to lead him to the Crocodile Demon’s treasure.

Wei Fan casually selected four or five strong individuals to stay behind and guide the way, letting the others leave on their own.
