Human Clan Defender-Chapter 590 - s 305 to 308: Slaying the Demon Saint, Ten Thousand Bells Tolling (Four-in-One, Seeking Monthly Votes)

"Issue my command: all fallen warriors are to be compensated according to regulations, without any oversight or error. At the same time, send people to recast Fallen Saint Pass."

"Your subjects will obey!"

Yan Jing, Wei Yang, and others bowed to accept the order.

The matters that followed were much simpler. First, manpower was arranged to collect the bodies of all the warriors who died in battle. Next, they started tallying the casualties.

Meanwhile, the Demon-Subduing Division also had the Heavenly Inspection Guard spread the word, summoning craftsmen to recast Fallen Saint Pass. Before this, however, they had already collected the remains of the Demon Saint.

Looking at the Demon Saint's remains, split in half, Dongfang Zhao's face showed both shock and regret.

"That Blade Slash from Defender Shen was truly domineering, able to annihilate the Ghost Saint's Divine Soul completely! It's a pity that due to the complete annihilation of the Divine Soul, the usefulness of the Demon Saint's remains has been greatly diminished."

If the Flesh and Divine Soul had been preserved intact, the Demon-Subduing Division's foundation could have been greatly strengthened. In the future, should a powerful expert emerge, they might even be able to merge with the Demon Saint's power.

Although the Demon-Subduing Division currently possessed some Demon Saint remains, their Divine Souls had also long been mostly annihilated. Only a sliver of fragmented power remained, which was of little use. Their only potential purpose was to provide research material for the Hidden Heart Pavilion in the future.

"Demon Saint!"

Zhou Yuanzheng and the others looked at the Demon Saint's remains, their eyes filled with shock.

Only by experiencing it at close range could they truly understand how powerful the Demon Saint had been. Even with its Divine Soul annihilated, the mere power radiating from the remains gave them a sense of overwhelming might they could not possibly resist.

If the Demon Saint were still alive, it could have killed them with a single finger. However, the Demon Saint's immense strength only served to highlight how powerful Shen Changqing was. Such a formidable expert had been slain by him with a single slash. One could only imagine how terrifying the strength of that Great Qin Defender truly was.

At this moment, Dongfang Zhao turned to Shen Changqing and asked, "Defender Shen, how do you think we should deal with the Demon Saint's remains?"

Since Shen Changqing had slain the Demon Saint, it was only right for him to make the decision.

Shen Changqing shook his head. "The Demon Saint's remains are of no use to me. Defender Dongfang, please handle them as you see fit."

He had already obtained the Slaughter Value and Divine Soul Power. To him, the remaining Demon Saint's remains were no different from trash.

However, speaking seriously, it did have some use. Perhaps a powerful Divine Weapon could be crafted from the Demon Saint's remains.

Thinking of this, he added, "If possible, I need a segment of bone from the Demon Saint's remains. This blade's quality is starting to lag behind, and I need to find an opportunity to temper it again."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the long blade at his waist.

Tempering a blade with the bones of a Demon Saint was a shocking idea. But, given Shen Changqing's current strength and status, it was perfectly normal.

After Shen Changqing confirmed his request, Dongfang Zhao ordered people to find a jade coffin, seal the Demon Saint's remains inside, and prepare to send them to the Capital City later.

Once these matters were addressed, he looked towards what was formerly Heavenly Gate Pass, now Fallen Saint Pass. Its walls had been mostly destroyed by the Demon Saint's blood. The blood, where it had fallen to the earth, had left deep pits. However, even so, the power of the Demon Saint's blood still lingered there.

"The Demon Saint's blood poses a great threat to many. If it's convenient for you, Defender Shen, could you eradicate the Demon Evil power remaining in the blood? Once that's done, the soil and bluestone stained with the expert's blood could be used as materials for recasting Fallen Saint Pass. Such materials would undoubtedly be unique in this age," Dongfang Zhao said gravely. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He lacked the ability to dispel the Demon Evil power within the Demon Saint's blood. After all, his own strength was only at the Great Demon level, far inferior to a Demon Saint. Moreover, the Ghost Saint was no ordinary Demon Saint. According to what the Ghost Saint itself had claimed, it had already stepped into a realm called Half-Step Demon God. Thus, Dongfang Zhao had no way to cleanse the power in the blood. Among everyone present, only Shen Changqing possessed such strength.

"I can."

Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.

The Demon Evil power in the Demon Saint's blood indeed needed to be eradicated; otherwise, it would become a significant problem over time. This applied not only to the Demon Saint's blood but also to the flesh and blood remnants of fallen Great Demons. However, the Demon-Subduing Division was capable of cleansing the remnants of Great Demons, so there was no need for him to act personally.

Soon, the army returned to Fallen Saint Pass. Although Fallen Saint Pass had been substantially destroyed, many sections of the pass, which stretched for hundreds of miles, remained intact. Those areas were suitable for stationing the army without any problem.

Escape!

After fleeing from Great Qin, several Great Demons didn't pause at all, heading directly deep into Great Zhou territory. Along the way, they continuously burned their Essence Blood, solely to increase their escape speed. Occasionally, they would glance back, terrified that Shen Changqing was already pursuing them.

It couldn't be helped. The scene of him slaying the Ghost Saint with a single slash and killing two Great Demons with two punches had left the remaining few Great Demons utterly terrified. If they didn't flee, they would only be waiting for death.

Only after arriving at the ruins of the Great Zhou Capital did the three Great Demons finally stop.

"The Ghost Saint is dead. What do we do now?" The six-armed young Great Demon, who had narrowly escaped, still showed lingering fear on his face.

Upon hearing this, fear was also faintly visible on Wang Mubai's grim face. "With the Ghost Saint fallen, Shen Changqing's strength cannot be underestimated. If our clan wishes to conquer this world again, we must report this to our superiors. Otherwise, there is absolutely no chance of success."
