A single flap of its wings kicked up a furious gale, howling across the land.
The terrifying, oppressive force it carried struck Gu Zheng, but it also propelled the atball Demon Fiend farther away.
SWISH~
Gu Zheng slashed his blade toward the sky, his Sword Gang forcefully shredding all the turbulence and chaotic energy.
The next mont, his figure shot into the sky. As his Divine Power surged, he executed a Triple Jump, giving chase to the atball Demon Fiend.
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH~
A powerful wind battered his face as the mountains and rivers below rapidly receded.
"BANG! BANG! BANG~!"
Gu Zheng perford a series of Triple Jumps. During the final glide, he unleashed a burst of force, pushing his speed to its maximum and successfully catching up to the atball Demon Fiend.
SHING! SHING! SHING!
"SQUELCH~"
After a flash of blade light, the rapidly flying atball Demon Fiend was sliced into dozens of pieces.
But in the next instant, another terrifying aura was released. A thick fog erupted, blasting Gu Zheng while the atball Demon Fiend healed, restoring itself to its original state.
Its severed wing quickly grew back, propelling the atball Demon Fiend to continue its escape.
BANG! BANG! BANG~
Gu Zheng leaped through the air, pursuing it from behind.
Ten breaths later, he burst forward in a sprint, caught up again, and after another flash of blade light, the atball Demon Fiend was once more cut into dozens of pieces.
The next instant, thick fog erupted and a terrifying aura was released, stalling Gu Zheng for a breath’s ti as the atball Demon Fiend healed, recovered, and continued to flee.
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH~
The strong wind blew everywhere, howling between heaven and earth.
The atball Demon Fiend fled in front, with Gu Zheng chasing behind.
In this chase, they crossed Xiongying County and entered Ban County.
The atball Demon Fiend fled north, south, east, and west, in every direction, but it couldn’t shake Gu Zheng.
Instead, it was sliced to pieces another seven or eight tis, healing and regenerating every ti.
SHING! SHING! SHING!
"SQUELCH~"
He once again diced the atball Demon Fiend into over a dozen pieces. The fiend forced Gu Zheng back with its released aura and thick fog as it healed, recovered, and fled. But this ti, Gu Zheng finally sensed that the atball Demon Fiend’s aura was weakening.
’In this battle of attrition, the atball Demon Fiend is losing first!’
"ROAR~~!"
A stifled, furious roar erupted from the atball Demon Fiend.
Apparently, the atball Demon Fiend had realized it as well.
’My Divine Power is being rapidly consud. If I don’t replenish it, I won’t be able to heal and regenerate anymore.’
Imdiately, while flying through the sky, the atball Demon Fiend began to sense the auras on the ground below.
The next mont, it abruptly changed direction and charged toward Ban County Town.
"WHOOSH~!"
Gu Zheng burst into a sprint and caught up to the atball Demon Fiend.
SHING! SHING! SHING~
"SQUELCH!"
A flurry of blade light enveloped the atball Demon Fiend, dicing it into dozens of pieces.
WHOOSH!
"ROAR~!"
The atball Demon Fiend released its aura, sprayed a thick fog, and regenerated. It angrily gave up on Ban County Town and turned to flee west again.
Gu Zheng pursued from behind, periodically popping a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth and circulating his energy to absorb it, replenishing his consud Divine Power.
The chase continued, entering Shuanghe County.
The atball Demon Fiend tried to pull the sa trick and rush toward the county seat, but Gu Zheng unleashed a burst of power and sliced it to pieces once more.
After being thwarted twice in a row, the enraged atball Demon Fiend had learned its lesson.
After healing, recovering, and fleeing again, it no longer charged toward the populated county towns but instead searched for villages and hamlets outside the city walls.
’The last ti I ca out, there were countless villages and towns scattered outside the cities, filled with people—more than enough for a great feast to replenish my energy.’
But...
The atball Demon Fiend flew for a long ti but couldn’t find any villages like before. It couldn’t sense the auras of any large groups of people.
’Why is there no one outside the cities?’
The atball Demon Fiend was shocked and suspicious. Refusing to believe it, it continued flying west.
It crossed Zhongxi County and entered Lesheng County.
It flew randomly—southeast, northwest—but still found no villages like the last ti.
It did find several places with similar buildings, but they were all empty.
’Where did all those people go?’
’Could they all have fled into the cities!?’
The atball Demon Fiend was utterly bewildered, and its already slowing speed decreased even more.
SHING! SHING! SHING!
"SQUELCH~!"
Blade light flashed, and the atball Demon Fiend was cut into dozens of pieces.
BANG~
Spraying thick fog and releasing its aura, the atball Demon Fiend regenerated. It erupted in a pathetic and furious escape, fleeing to the northwest.
"You can’t escape!"
Gu Zheng popped a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth, circulating his energy to absorb it and replenish his Divine Power.
With a sprint, he leaped into the air, chasing after the atball Demon Fiend.
How could Gu Zheng not have noticed what the fiend was trying to do earlier?
’It wants to find a village, to devour people and replenish its energy!’
But it didn’t know that in the five counties of Lesheng, Zhongxi, Shuanghe, Ban, and Xiongying, aside from the people still in the county towns, everyone outside the city walls had been completely wiped out.
The people hiding deep in the mountains wouldn’t be coming out anyti soon.
’The atball Demon Fiend is dreaming if it thinks it can hunt outside the cities!’
’However, if this thing keeps fleeing west, leaves Wulong Mansion, and enters Sishui Prefecture, it will find people in the villages there.’
’I can’t let it replenish its energy!’
Thinking this, Gu Zheng circulated his Divine Power with all his might, empowering a sudden burst of speed.
BOOM~!
With a sonic boom, his figure instantly crossed a thousand ters, catching up to the atball Demon Fiend. He condensed his Sword Gang to protect his body and, in a split second, unleashed dozens of slashes, each one carving into the atball Demon Fiend.
That is, after dicing the atball Demon Fiend into over a dozen pieces, he continued to slice them into even smaller chunks.
This ti, Gu Zheng didn’t stop or dodge. He pushed through the corrosive fog and the sensory interference, determined to chop the atball Demon Fiend into countless fragnts.
FWOOSH!
He then used the Fire Demon Techniques, conjuring raging flas to burn the pieces of the atball Demon Fiend.
’The goal is to burn the atball Demon Fiend to ash.’
"ROAR!"
"BANG~ BANG~"
Its roars grew shrill, assaulting his mind. The thick fog that materialized out of thin air coiled around Gu Zheng, corroding his Protective Blade Gang.
Gu Zheng maintained his defense to counteract it, the flas continued to burn, and the Celestial Frost Blade continued to slash.
"ROAR~!!"
The atball Demon Fiend’s healing ability couldn’t keep up with the rate of damage. Its roars turned piercingly tragic, and its aura plumted.
Finally, with a trendous BOOM, its entire body exploded, turning into a sparse, sand-like substance that scattered into the air.
