"A Tier 2 Demon Fiend?"

In an instant, Gu Zheng was certain there was a Tier 2 Demon Fiend in the cavern below.

The aura and presence were unmistakable.

He was currently in the northeastern area of Xiongying County. These mountains were an offshoot of the Yingchou Mountain Range.

To the north of the Yingchou Mountain Range was a passage formed by a Domain, allowing those in the Super Body Realm and Tier 2 Demon Fiends to pass through. The location was quite far from Xiongying County.

But the movements of Demon Fiends were erratic by nature.

For some Demon Fiends, it was crucial to flee from the north, hide within Xiongying County’s borders, and grow their clans.

Therefore, Gu Zheng was not surprised that a Tier 2 Demon Fiend was lurking in the cavern before him.

The creature hadn’t shown itself in other parts of Xiongying County, likely because it was busy birthing lesser Demon Fiends.

If it had appeared, someone would have noticed.

’Wait, perhaps it did show itself, but everyone who saw it was eaten?’

The common people outside the county seat of Xiongying County had suffered the most deaths.

In other counties, about twenty percent of the populace had fled deep into the mountains.

But in Xiongying County, the people outside the city were almost completely wiped out.

Perhaps the cause of death wasn’t just Du Yanjun using the Demon Creation Gourd to turn people into Demon Fiends. Could this Tier 2 Demon Fiend have played a part as well?

At this thought, Gu Zheng activated his Protective Blade Gang, made no effort to conceal himself, and leaped into the cavern entrance.

WHOOSH!

He plunged straight down for nearly two hundred meters, reaching the bottom.

Activating his Dark Vision, a dark, subterranean space immediately filled his sight.

It was a massive underground space. Most of it was a natural cavern, with only a small portion having been expanded by external force.

The dense Demon Qi here was so thick it had become tangible, drifting about in wisps.

Gu Zheng took a few steps forward and saw the ground covered in bones.

Cow, sheep, pig, donkey, human!

Bones of all kinds were strewn everywhere, densely packed and creating a chilling sight.

Human bones were the most numerous. The skulls, being particularly hard, were piled up into a small mountain.

Gu Zheng took in the sight, his fists clenching tightly.

’So much for wondering why a Tier 2 Demon Fiend would hide in a cavern instead of causing harm after arriving in Xiongying County.’

’It has already devoured thousands of people!’

SWOOSH~

The Sword Gang formed into lines. As Gu Zheng’s figure flickered, he created three duplicates of himself to distract the pitch-black mountain of flesh lying motionless in the center of the cavern.

The light from his blade flared, tearing through the air as he slashed forward.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~!

Long, thick tentacles suddenly swept out, simultaneously blocking the Sword Gang and attacking the four Gu Zhengs.

POP! POP! POP~

The three duplicates shattered on impact, dissipating into nothingness.

Gu Zheng, wielding the Celestial Frost Blade, had already reached the mountain of flesh.

SCHLICK!

With a flash of his blade, he severed two tentacles.

SWISH~

He flew in close, his Divine Wondrous power surging, and unleashed ten slashes in a single breath, the Celestial Frost Blade augmented by the Nine Luminaries Golden Saber technique.

For the final combined strike, Gu Zheng, empowered by his Sword Intent, unleashed a thunderous slash.

SQUELCH SQUELCH SQUELCH~

"BOOM!"

The sickening sound of a sharp blade tearing through flesh erupted violently, and the final explosive boom shook the entire underground space.

The motionless, pitch-black mountain of flesh was instantly shattered into more than a dozen pieces.

But!

WHOOSH~~!

A cloud of inky black mist suddenly sprayed out of thin air, blasting Gu Zheng. He grew dizzy, and his body staggered backward uncontrollably.

His Protective Blade Gang was mostly corroded, and his extended Perception Power was severely disrupted.

Through his Eyes of Golden Flame, Gu Zheng watched the scene unfold. He had just shattered the pitch-black mountain of flesh—a Meatball Demon Fiend standing three meters tall—into a dozen pieces. But just as the chunks of flesh were about to fall apart and hit the ground, they suddenly pulled back together, restoring the creature completely.

Even the tentacles he had severed grew back!

’Super self-healing? Or Rebirth?’

Demon Fiends with these two abilities were the most troublesome.

To kill them, one had to either pulverize them completely or burn them to ash.

Otherwise, it became a battle of attrition.

A contest to see whose Divine Power would run out first.

"Hoooo~"

"ROAR!!"

A sharp, long roar sent sound waves rolling through the entire cavern.

The healed Meatball Demon Fiend seemed to have finally awakened, releasing a terrifying pressure.

It was the immense oppressive force of a Tier 2 Demon Fiend.

But it was useless against Gu Zheng, who was in the Super Body Realm.

Super Body Suppression versus the pressure of a Tier 2 Demon Fiend.

Gu Zheng still had the upper hand!

BOOM~!

A dull, thunderous explosion echoed throughout the underground space.

Gu Zheng’s figure flickered. With his Divine Wondrous power surging, he swung his blade and charged toward the Meatball Demon Fiend again.

SWISH SWISH SWISH~!

The light from his blade formed into lines, then a net, blanketing the Meatball Demon Fiend in an attempt to shred it to pieces.

BANG! BOOM!

The Meatball Demon Fiend vibrated on the spot, releasing a visible shockwave that actually managed to block and repel the Sword Gang for an instant before they both dissipated.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Long, thick tentacles followed immediately after, tearing through the air as they rushed toward Gu Zheng at extreme speed.

SWISH~

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

"SCHLICK~!"

Gu Zheng swung his blade three more times, severing all the tentacles.

WHOOSH!

He dashed forward, closing in on the Meatball Demon Fiend. Another flurry of empowered blade light erupted, the condensed Sword Gang invading the creature with his Sword Intent before slicing it into a dozen pieces again.

WHOOSH~

BOOM!

A violent aura exploded forth once more. The dense mist churned, and the resulting blast wave swept through the entire underground space.

The Meatball Demon Fiend healed in an instant, its tentacles regrowing.

This time, however, as Gu Zheng was pushed back by the surging presence, the Demon Fiend’s massive body contracted, and it shot toward the entrance at extreme speed.

WHOOSH!

Gusts of fierce wind sent the bones on the ground flying into the air, where they shattered into fragments.

Having contracted, the Meatball Demon Fiend fled swiftly up the exit tunnel.

In the span of a breath, it burst out of the cavern entrance and shot high into the sky.

SWOOSH~

Gu Zheng sliced through the dense mist and gave chase. The moment he emerged from the cavern and returned to the surface, he saw the Meatball Demon Fiend, now high in the sky. With a great WHOOSH, a pair of wide wings burst from its sides.
