The valiant figure that appeared was naturally Su Yi. He had been walking and stopping all the way back from the Fallen Sword Abyss, so he had been a lot slower. Otherwise, with his speed, he would have been able to return to Qinyang city long before sunset.
However, on the way to Qinwang Ridge, he did not expect the sword spirit Little Xie to be so sensitive to spiritual qi that it could even detect hidden medicinal herbs and other spiritual items.
This made Su Yi’s heart race, and he almost swept through the entire Qinwang Ridge, which exhausted Little Xie.
However, because of this, Su Yi also completed the immortal sect’s mission of gathering 1,086 medicinal herbs.
Before returning to Qinyang City, he had already returned to the Dragon Blood Spirit-breaking Blade to rest.
It was weird to think that a weapon needed to rest.
When he saw Qinyang City from afar, he sensed that something was wrong. The billowing smoke and the roars that filled the sky were not the scene of a proper city at this time.
In other words, during the few days that he left Qinyang City, something unexpected must have happened.
Therefore, without hesitation, he sped at full speed. His figure turned into a white shadow in the dark night and shot toward the city gate of Qinyang City.
Finally, it was the scene that the soldiers had seen earlier.
Su Yi’s figure was as fast as a shooting star, bringing about gusts of wind that blew the hair of the cultivators and the demonic beasts, but his body was spotless.
However, what he was wearing now was not the silver flame robe, but the ordinary robe. In the ancient sword tomb, his silver Frostflame Robe had been pierced and damaged by the bronze longsword.
Under the stunned expressions of the soldiers, the demon beasts behind Su Yi were not happy. They let out loud roars one after another.
Including the two foundation establishment demon kings, they wanted to attack Su Yi.
Roar!
“So noisy!”
Su Yi let out a low roar and condensed his sword fingers. A dangerous cold light could be seen flashing at the tips of his fingers.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the two demon kings that were growling at him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
It just so happened that he had an immortal sect mission to kill a foundation establishment realm demon king. He did not expect that two of them would come knocking on his door now.
Immediately, he swung the sword finger in his hand, and two cold lights pierced through the air and entered the demon king’s head.
With his current strength, killing an early foundation establishment realm demon king was as easy as playing around. He only needed a light finger to kill it.
When the two foundation establishment realm demon kings faced the two cold beams, they only had enough time for their pupils to shrink. They did not even have the time to show their fearful expressions before they fell down with their eyes wide open.
There was a deep blood movement on the two demon kings’ foreheads. Fresh blood flowed out like a gushing spring.
The two pairs of beast eyes had long turned white. They were already dead beyond belief.
At the same time, two voice notifications sounded in Su Yi’s mind.
[Hint: Immortal sect mission, kill demon king x5, current mission progress (2/5)]
[Hint: Immortal sect mission, kill demon king x5, current mission progress (3/5)]
Including the Green Wood Dragon he killed at Demon Subduing Mountain, he had already killed three. Two more would be enough to complete this immortal sect mission.
Soon after, he looked at the nearly one hundred demon beasts.
He muttered to himself, “since we have already helped, let’s kill a little more.”
Immediately, his gaze focused as the true essence in his body erupted. That incomparably thick middle stage foundation establishment strength was displayed in the eyes of the soldiers and cultivators.
Like a ghost, his body transformed into a flowing shadow as he charged into the demon beast horde.
Immediately, a cold light flashed in all directions as a large number of demon beast corpses continuously flew out from the group. There were even some demon beasts that were thrown in front of the soldiers.
In less than fifteen minutes, only a few scattered demon beasts were left under Su Yi’s sword finger.
If these demon beasts could speak, they would definitely cry for their parents and flee in fear. They might not be human, but was the cultivator who killed them really human?
“Hmph.”
Looking at the fleeing demon beasts, he did not chase after them. In a short period of time, these hundreds of demon beasts were all taken care of by Su Yi.
The soldiers were already dumbfounded. who was this fierce person? Since when did such a person appear in their Qinyang City?
Su Yi came in front of them and said lightly, “the demon beasts have been dealt with. Open the city gates. I want to return to Qinyang City.”
The soldiers no longer had any thoughts of their own. They said respectfully in a daze.
“Okay, okay. Open it immediately.” As he said that, he quickly flew up to the city wall and entered the city to open the city gates.
The city gates let out a heavy sound as they were slowly opened. However, Su Yi’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.
After he saw that he could still enter the city from the wall, he did not wait for the other party to open the city gate.
Immediately, his figure moved, and with a few leaps, he entered the city of Qinyang. His movements were extremely light, and he did not alert any cultivators at all. He entered the city of Qinyang like a ghost.
…
At this moment, city lord Qin Hao arrived with a group of people.
Qin Hao’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the city gate open wide.
The city gate was wide open, and there were not any soldiers guarding it. This meant something.
His hands were clenched into fists, and blue veins popped out. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked sorrowful, and blood actually seeped out of his clenched teeth.
“Damn it, am I too late?”
While he was filled with endless grief, he was also filled with endless regret. Why, why was he late? It was all because he was not strong enough. If he was a little stronger…
Thinking of this, his heart felt extremely uncomfortable, as if it was being twisted by a knife.
After that, he suddenly hammered his heart. After that, he took a deep breath and calmed down the extremely uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
Just as he was about to search for the demon beasts and survivors, a soldier ran over from afar and shouted.
“Reporting! Reporting to the city lord, the demon beasts have been repelled!”
This figure was the captain of the soldier squad.
When he saw the living soldier, he was already very excited, but the report from the captain of the soldier squad made Qin Hao even more excited.
“What did you say?!”
“Reporting to the city lord, the demon beasts have been repelled!”
After confirming it again and again, Qin Hao’s face was filled with disbelief. The report he received was about a hundred demon beasts. There might even be a foundation establishment demon king among them.
With this thought, Qin Hao looked at the soldier who reported to him with a doubtful expression. Immediately, the soldier hurriedly explained.
“Reporting to the city lord. At that time, there were indeed hundreds of demon beast hordes attacking. As for why…”
He did not continue, because he did not know how to explain at all.
The defense of the city gate in the direction of Qinwang Ridge was transferred to the city gate in the direction of Forest of Fireflies. The strength of the defense was almost non-existent. How could a few soldiers stop those demon beasts?
At this time, the captain of the soldiers who came to report understood that Qin Hao did not believe it, so he led him out of the city.
Outside the city, a few cultivators and soldiers were collecting the demon beast materials.
“City lord, please take a look. These are the corpses of those demon beasts.”
At a glance, the demon beast corpses were scattered everywhere. The common characteristic of these demon beasts was that they were killed in one strike.
As the city lord, Qin Hao naturally knew what his soldiers were capable of. Thus, he asked, “who helped you?”
…
