Chapter 49: Chapter 43: A Rain of Sword Gang, Slash! Slash! Slash

TAP, TAP, TAP~!

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, three tall figures slowly walked in from the cave entrance.

A thick stench, a chilling and frenzied aura mixed with a sinister wind, rushed toward them.

"Arriving early can’t beat arriving at the perfect time."

A hoarse, accented, and gloomy voice echoed in the cave. Three bipedal Lizard Demons with blood-red eyes appeared before Gu Zheng, Zhang Boshong, Zhang Ning, and Yan Hongxue.

The Lizard Demon that spoke had three distinct yellow stripes on its chest armor, with a fourth stripe faintly emerging.

The other two Lizard Demons had two exceptionally bright yellow stripes of scales on their chests, with a third stripe barely visible.

Seeing them, the bound, pot-bellied Lizard Demon immediately began to struggle violently, its muffled roars low and deep.

"What, surprised to see us?"

The leading Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon scanned Gu Zheng, Zhang Boshong, Zhang Ning, and Yan Hongxue with its scarlet eyes and cackled. "Weren’t you looking for the Young Clan Leader? I’ll take you..."

"Attack!"

Yan Hongxue barked the order, drawing her sword and charging forward first.

SWISH~

WHOOSH!

The gleam of her sword bloomed in the dim cave as a green light reappeared in a sudden strike.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH~

A fetid wind erupted as Powerful Qi swept out.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Dull thuds echoed in their ears.

Yan Hongxue swung her sword, attacking the lead Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon. The human and the Demon Fiend moved at incredible speeds, and the force of their collisions kicked up clouds of dust.

Zhang Boshong and Zhang Ning teamed up to attack one of the two remaining Lizard Demons.

Gu Zheng faced the third Lizard Demon alone.

He held nothing back, unleashing his full power with a single punch. As the air cracked, terrifying Fist Force surged out, combined with pure Physical Strength, and slammed into the Lizard Demon’s chest.

Although the Lizard Demon swung its claws to block, it was a step too slow.

BOOM!

A dull explosion, mixed with the sound of breaking bones, rang out. The Lizard Demon’s large body was sent flying backward like a ragdoll, smashing into the cave wall. It left a crater surrounded by cracks as dirt and sand rained down from above.

SWOOSH~

A flicker of an afterimage.

Gu Zheng shot over, giving the Lizard Demon no time to react, and stomped down with his foot.

His foot aimed true, heading straight for the Lizard Demon’s neck.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Stomp after stomp, each carrying tens of thousands of jin of force, came down so fast they were a blur.

Under the rapid-fire assault, the Lizard Demon only managed to let out half a roar before its neck was brutally snapped. The aura around it rapidly faded.

Gu Zheng then grabbed the Lizard Demon’s sharp claw, bent it back, and aimed it at the now-limp neck, slicing down hard.

PCHI!

SQUISH! SQUISH~

With a few strange noises, the Lizard Demon’s own claw tore through its neck. Gu Zheng gave another hard pull and wrenched the entire head off.

Only then was this Lizard Demon completely dead.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +6]

"BOOM~!"

A dull crash came from behind him.

It was Yan Hongxue. She had been sent flying like a kite with its string cut, crashing against the cave wall before falling to the ground. She rolled three times, unable to get up, and coughed up blood, her face pale.

Gu Zheng had killed one Lizard Demon.

And on the other side, the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon, on the verge of becoming four-striped, had wounded Yan Hongxue!

The Lizard Demon that Zhang Boshong and Zhang Ning were fighting together was locked in a back-and-forth struggle, with neither side gaining an upper hand for the moment.

"ROAR~"

The Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon’s scarlet eyes swept over Gu Zheng. It spoke in a hoarse voice, "You’re good. To think you actually..."

SWOOSH!

Gu Zheng’s figure shot forward, rushing in fiercely and throwing a punch straight at it.

SWISH~

The Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon reacted even faster, swiping its sharp claws forward.

In terms of arm length, Gu Zheng was naturally no match for the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon.

So, after throwing the punch, he suddenly dropped low, retracting his fist and switching to a sweeping kick. He attacked the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon’s lower body. The heavy kick landed squarely on its chest with a dull BANG, caving in the scales and sending its massive body flying backward.

"Gu, catch!"

Zhang Boshong’s shout rang out.

WHOOSH~

A jet-black long saber was tossed through the air toward Gu Zheng.

SWOOSH!

Gu Zheng stomped on the ground, his body soaring as he caught the long saber, closing in on the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon just as it was getting up.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG~

His figure flickered, moving and parrying at the same time.

Frenzy Battle Saber Technique, Frenzy Battle Continuous Blade Slash.

Limited by the cave’s space, the Dragging Blade Slash was impossible to execute.

The Continuous Blade Slash, however, was not restricted. Blade after blade, each faster than the last, struck the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon, sending sparks flying with every hit.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

A chilling Sword Gang formed around Gu Zheng, serving as both offense and defense as he brutally clashed head-on with the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon.

This Half-Spiritual Soldier of Zhang Boshong’s unleashed its full might in Gu Zheng’s hands, erupting with its strongest power.

Gu Zheng also fully mobilized the Divine Wondrous within him, pouring it into the blade. It condensed into a Sword Gang that was unleashed along the paths of his Frenzy Battle Saber Technique.

PSSSH! PSSSH! PSSSH~!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Strange noises mixed with sparks, blooming ceaselessly in the cave like a curtain of rain.

The scales on the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon’s body fell off piece by piece. The concussive force from the blade impacts ravaged its body, sending its qi and blood into turmoil. The chaotic energy rushed to its brain, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.

"ROAR~!"

Panicked, the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon instantly roared. It let out a close-range screech, releasing a sonic-wave-like attack as its large body retreated, trying to create distance from Gu Zheng.

However, Gu Zheng endured the foul-smelling, ear-piercing roar and, instead of letting the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon pull away, closed the distance even more.

Divine Wondrous, Barbaric Force, Saber Technique, and the power of the Half-Spiritual Soldier itself.

These four powers merged together and were relentlessly unleashed upon the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon.

The Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon resisted and counterattacked, its sharp claws leaving clear marks on the cave walls, but it couldn’t break through the impenetrable Sword Gang surrounding Gu Zheng.

PSSSH! PSSSH! PSSSH~

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, accompanied by sprays of Demon Blood, finally echoed through the cave.

The scale armor defense of the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon was forcefully shattered.

"Rooargh~"

Its low cry held a note of terror. The Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon gave up resisting and chose to flee, allowing Gu Zheng’s blade to slash its body again and again as it dashed toward the cave entrance.

The cave’s limited space prevented Gu Zheng from using his stronger moves, but it also kept the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon from using its life-saving techniques.

’Only by getting out can I...’

CRACK~

"SPLURT!"

The sound of a bone breaking was immediately followed by a spray of fresh blood.

As the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon fled, one of its hind limbs was forcibly hacked off. Its large body instantly lost balance and collapsed to the ground.

"You..."

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

A dense Sword Gang submerged the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon, cutting off the words it was about to scream.

Only the sickening sounds of flesh being torn apart echoed through the cave.

When it stopped, the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon had been hacked into several pieces. Its ferocious face was covered in slash marks, and three of its four limbs were severed.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +9]

"Haaa~"

Gu Zheng sheathed his blade and exhaled a breath of turbid air, which formed an arrow of vapor that danced in the air.

’I finally killed it!’

The Lizard Demon that Zhang Boshong and Zhang Ning had teamed up to fight had also been killed before Gu Zheng finished his own battle.

For a moment, silence returned to the cavern.

The bound, pot-bellied Lizard Demon stared with its scarlet eyes, its face a mask of utter disbelief...
