Capítulo 2312: Chapter 39: Tales of the Border Wilderness
The human-demon conflict has persisted for eternity. The Life and Death Line is a reflection of countless ages.
The Jing and Mu countries have resisted demons for a thousand years, establishing an effective demon hunting system with varied combat thods for individuals, squads, and armies. There are also various magic artifacts, dicines, array patterns, and battle formations targeted at demons. The Mugu’s Beast Face Opera features many adventure tales centered around demon hunters.
Jiang Wang relies on none of these scattered demon hunting tools, traveling solely with his sword.
The map prepared by Yuwen Ze is extrely comprehensive, indicating the regions where Yin Demons are dense and safe resting points… It’s clearly marked up to a thousand miles north of the Life and Death Line. Beyond that, the demonic beings surge tumultuously, without any fixed territories, not even the Demon Race themselves can fathom it.
Jiang Wang does not follow the map strictly, but draws a straight line, walking his own path, proceeding forward independently.
On this five-day journey of demon hunting, he allocated half a day for the return journey and intended to use the remaining four and a half days to test how deep into the desert he could venture on his own.
As is widely known, each thousand miles due into the Border Wilderness increases the danger exponentially. Beyond three thousand miles, every hundred miles is a threshold; the Jing and Mu countries consider this distance a “Life Prohibition Zone,” not encouraging anyone to venture alone.
Throughout the years of demon hunting in the wilderness, the armies of the two countries mostly sweep within three thousand miles.
Thus, when Zhongshan Yanwen ventured eight thousand miles into the wilderness wearing Demon Slaying Armor and returned after slaying true demons at the border, it made him renowned across the world.
He set the furthest record of a True Man of the Age venturing into the wilderness solo, which remains a heroic epic.
On the third day entering the boundless desert, Jiang Wang still had not encountered the rain here.
But he did encounter the largest scale ambush by Yin Demons.
He advanced while slashing his way through; however, more and more Yin Demons gathered, floating in the high sky, swimming underground, sporting fish fins and ox horns, bird bodies and evil faces…
Truly resembling a world defiled by malicious ghosts.
The black cal halted for the first ti because there was nowhere else to go.
The greatest danger of the wilderness has unleashed its terror upon outsiders ti and again.
In an expanse that utterly suppresses perception and spirit senses, encirclent by demonic beings is a commonplace occurrence.
That’s why the wilderness doesn’t recomnd lone ventures by the strong, but instead favors forming clearly-defined roles within demon-hunting squads—scouts, trap-setters, main attackers, primary defenders… Only when fully equipped can one dare to venture deep.
Sotis armies patrol, dispatching scouts to report back. In this region, human intelligence can only be obtained through primitive ans.
Lone adventurers face extre risks here.
Yet because of this, many strong individuals view it as a challenge—generation after generation of strongn keep redefining the record of solo ventures into the wilderness. Those who set records bask in glory.
Unbeknownst, yet again surrounded, Jiang Wang was not too surprised. He executed the Daoist Decrees while surveying his surroundings.
One of the ironclad laws of the wilderness states, “Thousands of Yin Demons are sure to indicate the presence of General Demons.”
Yin Demons are driven by instinct, while General Demons possess rudintary intelligence, exercising absolute dominance over them, able to direct their combat.
However, since their wisdom is incomplete, such “command” is likely limited to “attacking together” or “retreating together.”
The strength of General Demons varies greatly, with the weakest barely stronger than Yin Demons, while the strongest can rival Godly cultivators.
In the hierarchy of demons, above the Yin Demons are General Demons, succeeding them are True Demons, which only a True Man can contest.
Above True Demons are Heavenly Demons. When Heavenly Demons erge, only the Yandao True Monarch can restrain them.
The Yin Demons manifested here exceed three thousand at a glance. Thus, the strength of the hiding General Demon must not be underestimated.
The gray sky settled with dense clouds.
Not rain of the wilderness, but Jiang Wang’s skill.
Amidst the rising winds and gathering clouds, a tempest of Dao Techniques erupted!
Kang Jinlong, Jiao Mu Jiao, Ji Shui Bao, Wei Huohu, Di Tuhuo, Fang Ritu, Xin Yue Hu!
The spirits of the Seven Lodgings, ford by Dao Techniques, ca to life vividly, bearing inherent majesty. For a mont, they unfolded upon this realm, illuminating divine radiance and precious light. In this murky world, they painted in bold colors, enclosing the thousands of demonic beings in a ring at the outermost periphery!
The Seven Lodgings signify Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Sun, and Moon.
Jiang Wang clenched his five fingers!
That gold dragon gleaming with sharp light, the wood jiao teeming with vitality, the water-controlling leopard, the fire-riding tiger, the earth-shaking Tuhuo, the high-hanging Ritu, the moon-illuminating Yue Hu… Instantly displayed their light in interweaving radiance, setting off a chaos of pri energy.
Blazing light, displaying gold, green, black, red, and yellow colors, burst like a massive cloud of light, piercing through the gray sky above.
The Five Elents reversed, Sun and Moon shifted.
The Azure Dragon underwent seven transformations, absolute strike of the Seven Lodgings!
This newly developed supre Dao Technique from the Qi Country Martial Arts Academy has almost reached the extre of what a supre yellow-grade Dao Technique can achieve, demonstrating its complete power in the wilderness for the first ti!
After the dazzling light faded and the vitality receded, only a dense field of Yin Demon skulls remained!
The black cal shifted its hooves, avoiding a rolling demon skull.
Between heaven and earth, with nowhere to hide, a brief silence enveloped all, only the wind stirring the sand.
Rolling stones.
A pile of demon skulls was knocked over, a General Demon staggered to stand, with its weird body distinguishable from other Yin Demons, gradually revealing black armor condensed by demonic qi—
And then it ignited.
In the roaring flas, it made no sound while being consud.
