Seek refuge with?
Have any members of the Demon Slayer Division defected to the demon race?
It really does.
And quite a lot.
Because as long as you are human, you will have fear and greed will arise.
They will waver in their resolve when faced with dire circumstances.
For example, when the Demon Slayer was surrounded by monsters, he chose to surrender in exchange for survival due to the fear of death and the instinct for survival.
For example, some people are blinded by profit and secretly collude with the demon race.
They betrayed the lives and intelligence of their comrades.
For example, some people, utterly despairing of this murky world, turn to the camp of demons, seeking another twisted "order" and power. So, when they saw Jiang Mu rushing over alone, the two leopard demon brothers were truly dumbfounded.
Their brain circuits naturally veered onto the path of "surrender".
After all, what normal person would charge into an army of five hundred alone?
This is suicide, not war.
Five hundred steamed buns would take you several days and nights to eat.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Leopard Two scratched its furry chin, somewhat undecided.
Leopard squinted and said, "Call Old Zhao over. That guy used to be from the Demon Slayer Division in Yancheng, he knows the rules. Have him sound out whether that kid has come to join Lord Tiger Demon or to deliver a message to Yan Fenghuo."
Leopard Two nodded and whistled sharply.
Soon, a man in his forties, with a thin face and wearing tattered old-style leather armor from the Demon Slayer Division, jogged over, bowing and scraping.
He nodded after hearing Leopard's instructions and went to greet Jiang Mu.
As the distance between them closed, he forced a smile and called out loudly, "Brother from the Demon Slayer Division, I am Zhao Jingzhong from Bibala!"
"I used to work in Yancheng Division too. Brother, have you heard of Lord Tiger Vanguard's illustrious reputation and come here to abandon the darkness and join the light?"
Jiang Mu didn't stop walking; in fact, she moved even faster.
He stared at that fawning face, his eyes icy cold.
Zhao Jingzhong?
Why not be a decent human being, instead of acting like a dog?
Jiang Mu flipped his wrist, drew his sword horizontally, and slashed straight down with a gleaming blade reflecting a chilling killing intent!
"I'm here to send you on your way."
"What?"
Zhao Jingzhong's smile froze on his face.
Sensing the other party's undisguised murderous intent and fierce pressure, he was terrified and turned to flee.
The blade flashed like lightning, disappearing in an instant.
"Pfft!"
A head with a look of astonishment shot into the sky, and the headless corpse staggered a couple of steps before collapsing to the ground.
"#!"
The two leopard demon brothers, who were observing from the rock, changed their expressions drastically.
Now, there's no need to ask anymore.
"This guy's here to kill us? Is he out of his mind?!" Leopard Two stared in disbelief, nearly dropping his spiked club.
Leopard's eyes blazed with fury, his fangs grinding together: "This is outrageous! He dares to charge into the enemy formation all by himself, and judging by his aura, he's only at the third realm! How dare he?!"
"Do you really think our five hundred men are just for show?!"
Leopard drew his twin swords from his back and roared, "I'm going to kill this stupid idiot who doesn't know his own mortality, and rip his heart and liver out to eat with my wine!"
Before the words were even finished, it had already transformed into a blur, swooping down from the rock and heading straight for Jiang Mu.
Behind the distant mountain valley, Yan Fenghuo and his men felt a chill run down their spines.
In Huzhou City, everyone says that the Fourth Hall is a madman.
Compared to this Master Jiang, they were as normal as ladies from a respectable family.
This guy's head is really hard!
"Master, what should we do?"
Ma Wenliu swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
Yan Fenghuo stared intently ahead, gritting his teeth: "What else can we do? You go and get more reinforcements, the rest of you stay here to provide support. I'll go and bring that reckless brat back!"
The chief steward repeatedly instructed that Jiang Mu's safety must be ensured.
If he were to lose the life of a hall master because of his probing plan, he would never be able to atone for it even if he died a hundred times over!
Moreover, he is a fifth-level expert and has the ability to protect himself.
If the other brothers followed, they would be throwing their lives away in a demon horde of that size.
"Damn it, I must have owed you something in my past life!"
Yan Feng cursed under his breath, drew his knife, and dashed out.
Within the battlefield.
clang!!
The twin swords clashed violently with the horizontal sword, sparks flying everywhere.
Jiang Mu felt a slight tremor in his hand, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and he slid back several steps.
This leopard truly lives up to its reputation as a fourth-order perfected demon. Both its strength and the depth of its demonic energy far surpass those of the severely injured wolf king from before.
"Kid, you've got some strength, but not much!"
Leopard sneered, his twin blades swirling like windmills, his attacks like a raging storm, giving Jiang Mu no chance to catch his breath.
Jiang Mu did not engage in a direct confrontation, but instead used the Serpent's Movement Step to weave and maneuver through the leopard's ferocious double-blade attacks.
The flashing blades wove a web of death.
But he always managed to dodge them by the slightest margin, or parry them precisely with his sword.
Although this monster was quite troublesome, Jiang Mu remained completely calm.
His current demonic energy is almost overflowing, and he has plenty of "energy" to wear down his opponent.
Each time the feeling of exhaustion came, a wisp of pure demonic energy would surge out from the demonic tank, quickly replenishing the consumed physical strength and star power.
This allowed him to maintain his peak performance.
Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, Leopard Two suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Brother, Yan Fenghuo is here too!"
Leopard Big, who was still in awe of Jiang Mu's strange movements and tough physique, took a moment to turn his head and take a look.
A figure shot towards them like an arrow.
"Damn it! Do they really think I'm easy to bully?!"
Leopard's eyes were bloodshot, and he laughed in extreme anger, "Since these lackeys of the Demon Slayer Division want to die, then let's all fight to the death!"
Second brother, blow the horn!
Call all the children out to me!
"Today I'll see if these beasts from the Demon Slayer Division really each have multiple lives!"
Having said that, it no longer held back, and its entire body erupted with demonic energy.
He wielded his twin swords like two black whirlwinds, determined to kill Jiang Mu on the spot.
Leopard Two's face turned ashen. Not daring to be negligent, he grabbed a curved beast horn hanging from his waist, mustered his demonic power, and blew hard, "Woo-woo-woo-!!"
The deep, resonant sound of the horn echoed throughout the rocky slope, reverberating through the valley.
The next moment, the earth shook violently!
From the seemingly peaceful rocky slope, countless demonic figures surged forth like a tide.
Jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, mountain spirits, and wild monsters ——————
More than five hundred demons, like a black mudslide, swept over us.
In the sky, a dozen black-feathered eagle demons shrieked, folded their wings, and swooped down like meteors, their sharp claws aimed directly at Yan Fenghuo and Jiang Mu.
This scene is visually striking.
Even Yan Fenghuo, who was used to seeing big scenes, felt his scalp tingle and his back go cold at this moment.
"This is insane!"
"They've all gone completely insane!"
He roared, and the scimitar in his hand flew out, transforming into a silver arc.
puff!puff!
The two swooping eagle demons were cut in half mid-air, and blood rained down.
Yan Fenghuo caught the spinning scimitar and roared at Jiang Mu, who was still locked in fierce combat with Leopard Da, "Jiang, are you fucking crazy? Come with me now!"
Jiang Mu turned a deaf ear.
go?
Are you kidding me!
Most of the creatures here are low-level demons. Although they don't provide the same level of nourishment as high-level demons, they are plentiful.
This is a field of experience.
This is such a great opportunity to "recharge," you won't find another chance like it.
"break!"
A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Mu's eyes.
After using the nimble snake steps to dodge and weave several times, completely disrupting Leopard's offensive rhythm, he finally finished gathering his strength.
Sky-Shattering Slash!
The crimson blade light surged three zhang (approximately 10 meters) and slashed down at Leopard Da with the force of splitting mountains and cleaving peaks.
Wherever the blade's light passed, even the pervasive demonic aura was forcibly pushed aside.
"not good!"
Leopard's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he was horrified.
He roared and crossed his twin swords above his head, pouring his demonic power into them without reservation, attempting to withstand the terrifying strike head-on.
"boom!"
The crimson blade light clashed violently with the crossed twin blades.
The explosion was as loud as thunder!
The violent shockwave exploded in a ring, sending several small demons that rushed towards it flying!
"Snap!"
A faint cracking sound was heard.
The two thick-backed cleavers in Leopard's hands, forged from refined steel, developed cracks under the crimson blade light.
"What!?"
Leopard looked on incredulously.
The next moment, immense power surged through the blade.
Leopard was struck as if by a heavy hammer; his chest caved in violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the demon horde and knocking over a group of smaller demons.
"elder brother!!"
Upon seeing this, Leopard Two's eyes instantly turned red, and he picked up his spiked club, ready to charge forward.
What the hell!
Yan Fenghuo was also startled by Jiang Mu's slash. Seeing Leopard Two pounce, he quickly threw out his curved sword.
Leopard Two hurriedly raised his bat to block.
"Sizzle!"
Leopard Two let out a scream as one of its arms, which was holding a spiked club, was severed at the shoulder and flew into the air.
It staggered backward, its face contorted in agony.
Just as Yan Fenghuo was about to deliver the finishing blow, the surrounding lesser demons surged forward like a tide.
Although these low-level demons are not very intelligent and are weak, they have become instinctive in obeying orders. Once they receive an order to attack, they are completely fearless and charge forward one after another.
This is precisely the situation that demon slayers find most troublesome.
Ants can kill an elephant.
"Damn it! You surnamed Jiang, if you don't leave now, I'm really abandoning you!"
As Yan Fenghuo swung his sword and slashed down the little demons that pounced on him, he cursed angrily.
He had consumed a great deal of stellar energy and was beginning to feel fatigued.
I glanced at it from the side.
But then they saw Jiang Mu rush into the depths of the demon horde, stepping on the heavily injured Leopard Da and wielding his knife.
A huge leopard head rolled into the dust.
Yan Fenghuo's lips twitched.
Damn it!
Is this even human?
With such a reckless fighting style, even someone with an iron body wouldn't last long before exhausting themselves and dying.
"If they keep killing like this, this guy will definitely die of exhaustion."
Yan Fenghuo was anxious, gritting his teeth and thinking, "No, I can't go along with his madness. I have to hold on a little longer. If this kid really doesn't leave, then I'll just have to burn more paper money for him. Anyway, he's asking for it!"
However, reality slapped him in the face.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Half an hour passed —
Jiang Mu showed no signs of exhaustion; on the contrary, he fought even more fiercely.
Whenever his stamina is about to run out, a warm current will surge from his magic gauge, instantly reviving him and making him full of energy.
His mastery of the Great Perfection of the Serpent's Movement Technique allowed him to move through dense hordes of demons as if they were nothing.
Wherever the blade flashes, a demon will surely fall.
Leopard Two, with his arm severed, was protected by his subordinates behind him, his eyes red and almost dripping blood.
"Charge! All of you, charge!"
"Waste him out, exhaust him!"
While ordering its subordinates to hold off Yan Fenghuo, it also mobilized its main force to besiege Jiang Mu, attempting to wear down this human to death using the demon sea tactic and then tear him to pieces.
But as time went on, the pile of corpses at Jiang Mu's feet grew higher and higher.
His increasingly skilled killing techniques made him more efficient, and his knife swings became increasingly ferocious.
Twenty, fifty, eighty —
Jiang Mu is like a machine that never tires.
A small mountain of corpses had almost formed beneath their feet.
The ferocity and anger in Leopard Two's eyes were gradually replaced by confusion and fear.
"No—not human—"
"This guy isn't even human!"
Leopard Two's one arm, which was gripping the weapon, began to tremble.
Watching Jiang Mu move through the demon horde as if it were nothing, like a god of death descending upon the world, a chill exploded and surged through his limbs and bones.
What is it to avenge my brother?
What would you do if you dug out his heart and liver to eat with your drinks?
These thoughts vanished completely in the face of absolute terror.
It had a strong premonition.
If he didn't run away soon, even with many lesser demons protecting him, he would surely die here.
Die by this monster's blade!
run!
Without any hesitation, Leopard Two turned and ran.
They scrambled and crawled, looking utterly pathetic.
The other lesser demons, who were also terrified by Jiang Mu's killing intent, had no will to fight left when they saw that their leader had run away.
The last shred of morale collapsed instantly.
"Run!"
"He's the devil!"
In an instant, the monsters that roamed the mountains and fields scattered like the receding tide, leaving the scene in utter chaos.
On the other side, Yan Fenghuo, whose arms were already sore from fighting and who was hesitating whether to abandon Jiang Mu and run away alone, was somewhat confused when he saw this scene.
What happened?
As the number of demons around him decreased, he was able to catch his breath and turned to look at Jiang Mu.
Upon seeing this, I was stunned.
Jiang Mu was seen fiercely wielding his sword to kill the lesser demons, while behind him, the demon corpses were piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like a river.
This was a scene that Yan Fenghuo had never anticipated.
Can one person single-handedly break through the demon army?
After the initial shock, he immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed excitedly, "This is going to be a tough battle!"
The situation has completely turned in their favor.
He turned and yelled at the dozen or so men still watching in the distance, "Stop looking, all of you! Charge!"
The dozen or so subordinates who had been staring in disbelief finally snapped out of their daze.
Hearing their boss's roar, everyone's blood boiled, and they all rushed over.
Yan Fenghuo was about to call out to Jiang Mu to discuss a pursuit strategy.
But then they saw that the other party had already drawn his knife and was howling as he chased after the fleeing demon horde, as if he had seen a stunningly beautiful woman who was naked.
How should I put this scene?
Extremely magical.
A man was chasing after them with a knife, while more than two hundred monsters were running away in front of them, crying and screaming.
Yan Fenghuo was dumbfounded.
He quickly swallowed a pill to regain some strength and then picked up his sword to give chase.
"What a madman!"
One hour later.
Deep in the valley, all was deathly silent.
Yan Fenghuo collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his eyes rolled back, his body twitching slightly, and his tongue almost sticking out.
tired.
too tired.
I've never been this tired in my life.
The others in the fourth hall were all the same.
They lay scattered all over the ground.
-
They were all dressed in rags, covered in blood, and their weapons were either dull or chipped.
They stared blankly at the sky, their eyes empty, as if their souls had left their bodies, still wondering if they were in a bizarre dream.
And all around them were countless corpses of demons.
More than 500 monsters.
Total annihilation.
Even Leopard Two, which escaped with a missing arm, could not escape the fate of being beheaded by Jiang Mu.
In this carnage of carnage, one figure stood out as an oddity.
This thing was currently darting around energetically among the pile of demon corpses.
He would touch the corpse of one demon one moment, and cut open the belly of another demon the next to extract its demon core.
He casually tossed some of the demon cores he dug out to the members of the Fourth Hall who were sprawled on the ground.
This is considered a distribution of spoils of war.
Occasionally, if he sees a monster that is not quite dead and is still twitching, he will excitedly run over and finish it off.
Make sure you gain the "experience".
The main theme is "thrift and diligence in managing the household, ensuring that every grain is harvested".
His energy is so boundless it's almost despair-inducing.
Yan Fenghuo glanced sideways at the busy figure and muttered to himself, "Definitely not human—definitely not—no wonder he's hooked up with so many women, his energy—even a donkey would be envious."
"Not what?"
A face suddenly came close.
He was still holding Leopard Two's head, which lay there with its eyes wide open in death.
Yan Fenghuo was startled and took a few deep breaths with his eyes closed.
Having regained a little strength, he gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet, leaning against the corpse of a wolf demon. He looked at Jiang Mu with a complicated expression: "I don't understand—"
"I really don't understand, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."
"What don't you understand?"
Jiang Mu casually tossed Leopard Two's head aside and summoned his magic gauge.
After this exhilarating massacre, the magic gauge is now completely full.
It's filled to the brim.
It's already overflowing.
There was also a magic core that was not yet fully formed.
Jiang Mu thought that killing so many demons would cause many demonic shadows to appear, but instead they condensed into demonic cores.
I don't know what kind of skill it will be.
Yan Fenghuo stared at him and asked, word by word, "I don't understand anything. What secret technique did you use? How are you so powerful?"
"Is it intense?"
Jiang Mu pursed her lips, her face as lonely as snow, "Master Yan, this is what geniuses are like. You've never been a genius, so you don't understand."
As he spoke, a thought struck him.
The magic tank began to tremble violently, with golden light flowing around its edges.
Immediately afterwards, the depth of the magic tank doubled again, and the previously overflowing magic energy poured in, barely filling more than half of it.
At the same time, another light spot lit up next to the magic slot.
As demonic energy was injected, a new figure quickly materialized: Demon Shadow Number Three!
Jiang Mu was secretly delighted.
This mission was incredibly profitable.
Not only will the number of demonic shadows increase to three, but cultivation efficiency will also surge once again.
Moreover, the demon corpses and demon cores scattered all over the ground are solid achievements enough for him to exchange for a pseudo-star official seal from Ran Qingshan, which he can then equip for Demon Shadow.
Yan Fenghuo was so choked by these words that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
genius?
I bother!
Even a genius who starts cultivating from the womb shouldn't be this exaggerated.
Seeing that Jiang Mu didn't want to say more, he wisely stopped asking. Everyone has their own secrets, and asking too much will only hurt feelings.
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Fenghuo couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so keen on killing demons?"
It could even be described as fanaticism.
Jiang Mu paused.
He straightened up, looked at the distant, vast mountains, and said calmly, "You understand."
I understand?
Yan Fenghuo was taken aback.
Then he remembered that this guy's entire family had been killed by a demon.
For a moment, Yan Fenghuo felt a mix of emotions.
There was apology, sympathy, and understanding, but above all, deep regret.
He finally realized just how wrong his so-called "intuition" was.
How could someone burdened with such a deep-seated hatred and loathing for demons possibly be a traitor colluding with them?
I actually doubted him.
She even deliberately set a trap to test him.
I'm so damn stupid!
If he's the mole, I, Yan Fenghuo, will eat shit upside down and pack my wife up and send her to his bed.
no sooner said than done!
Jiang Mu was naturally unaware that Yan Fenghuo had already begun to "sell his wife" in his heart.
He turned to ask, "Master Yan, are there any other demon lairs nearby?"
Seeing Jiang Mu still lingering with interest, Yan Fenghuo paused for a moment, then pointed north: "There's a black swamp over there, where an eighth-tier crocodile demon is hiding. However, the terrain there is quite complicated, making it a bit troublesome to find. Would you like me to lead the way?"
Jiang Mu said, "Then lead the way."
"it is good."
'
'
Neither of them moved.
In his heart, he cursed: "Stop pretending!"
