Chapter 385 - 236: Camp Riot (Part 2)
Only about a hundred Ox Power Demons, their Cultivation powerful and their bodies brimming with energy, were still fighting over the food.
Yang Jing’s gaze landed on one of them. This Ox Power Demon had the flesh it had just secured snatched away twice in a row, and its eyes were already turning red with fury.
He secretly activated the Demon-Catching Tripod, releasing a nearly undetectable wisp of Five Aggregates Demon Qi that burrowed into the demon’s body.
At first, the Ox Power Demon showed no signs of anything unusual. But when it failed to snatch any flesh for a third time, it suddenly exploded with rage.
"Motherfuckers! You worthless Beast Demons, you’re no better than pigs and dogs! How dare you make a fool of me!"
He roared in fury, launched himself into the air, and flew into the middle of the Beast Demons. Grabbing one, he lifted it with both hands and twisted it with all his might, as if wringing out a wet towel.
With a horrific scream, the entire Beast Demon was crushed into a mangled ball. Demon Blood trickled down, and the Ox Power Demon greedily gulped it down.
The Ox Power Demon let out a gleeful roar and swallowed the Beast Demon, now almost completely wrung dry of its blood, whole.
With the Five Aggregates Demon Qi fanning the flames of its rage, it snatched up several more Beast Demons one after another and devoured them.
The vast majority of Celestial Demons hatch from eggs gestated within a Demon Vein, which has been influenced by the Essence Qi of a High Tier Celestial Demon. Although they come from the same lineage, there is absolutely no sense of brotherhood among them. On the contrary, though they are of the same species, every Celestial Demon is a life-or-death competitor.
After hatching, most Celestial Demons will frantically devour the other eggs within the Demon Vein to grow as quickly as possible.
Even some newly hatched Celestial Demons cannot escape this grim fate.
Under these conditions, this behavior has been deeply branded into the very nature of countless Celestial Demons. Their worldview is one where the strong devour the weak. If they eat even a single bite less today, they might become another Celestial Demon’s meal tomorrow.
Seeing their own kind shamelessly devouring the Beast Demons, the other Celestial Demons couldn’t possibly hold back and rushed to join the fray.
The Beast Demons shrieked in terror and scattered in all directions. But their Cultivation was low, equivalent only to that of an Early Stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator. How could they possibly escape the clutches of the Ox Power Demons, whose strength was on par with Qi Cultivation Perfection?
The Celestial Demons watching the Ox Power Demons squabble from the hillside never expected the situation to spiral out of control so suddenly.
The leading Dragon Power Demon tossed aside the human heart he had been gnawing on.
"What nerve, these animals!"
He wasn’t angry about the devastating losses among the Beast Demons. He was furious that those Ox Power Demons had dared to target the "blood-food."
A hundred Beast Demons were devoured in an instant, gone without making so much as a ripple.
Having whet their appetites, their eyes now fell upon the other sources of blood-food tied to wooden stakes.
This was an immediate affront to the High Tier Celestial Demons’ private reserve. The most delicious parts of the blood-food were meant for them. How were these lowly Ox Power Demons worthy of such a feast?
"Go. Quell this riot. In a quarter of an hour, I want the instigator’s head on a platter before me!"
The Elephant Power Demons and Tier Two Ox Power Demons immediately nodded and complied.
Although they were vastly outnumbered by the Ox Power Demons below, these Tier Two Celestial Demons paid them no mind whatsoever.
All they had to do was kill a few of the rowdiest ones, and the rest of the Ox Power Demons would fall back in line.
Like sharks plunging into a school of fish, they charged into the demonic horde. None of the Ox Power Demons in their path dared to resist.
These Tier Two Celestial Demons swung their weapons wildly, leaving a trail of battered and bloodied Ox Power Demons in their wake.
The lead Elephant Power Demon, with a hand the size of a wicker basket, seized the Ox Power Demon who had started the attack on the Beast Demons, lifting it high by the neck.
"The hearts and livers of these men and beasts are reserved for our masters. You think a lowly creature like you is worthy of even desiring them?"
In the next instant, he twisted the Ox Power Demon’s head clean off its neck.
The corners of Yang Jing’s mouth curled into a slight smile. Squeezed among the Ox Power Demons alongside Niu Martial Sect, he silently released more Five Aggregates Demon Qi, letting it burrow into the bodies of even more demons.
"These High Tier Celestial Demons treat us like pigs and dogs!" an Ox Power Demon suddenly roared in fury. "They’ll beat and kill us for taking a single extra bite of flesh! Even those pathetic, stupid Beast Demons have crawled up over our heads! Since we’re all going to be driven to our deaths on the battlefield tomorrow anyway, why not die today instead!"
The Ox Power Demons might be dull-witted, but they weren’t so stupid they couldn’t grasp this simple truth. Still, the deep-seated fear of the Elephant Power Demons’ authority kept most of them in check.
"Damn you, beast! Are you trying to start a rebellion?!"
The lead Elephant Power Demon flung the head from his hand. With a whistle of air, he unhooked the Golden Melon Hammer from his waist and hurled it forward.
The heavy Golden Melon Hammer instantly obliterated the Ox Power Demon who had spoken out, turning it to pulp. Even a few others standing nearby were caught in the blast and didn’t escape.
Normally, a single strike like that would have been enough to cow all the Ox Power Demons into submission. But this time, Yang Jing was behind the scenes, fanning the flames.
Immediately, several Ox Power Demons let out furious bellows, lunging forward with their Demon Sabers drawn to strike at the Elephant Power Demon.
The Elephant Power Demon never imagined they would be so audacious. With his Golden Melon Hammer out of reach, he could only flare his Demonic Qi to defend himself.
The Demon Sabers struck his tough, leathery hide, leaving nothing but white scratches.
Amidst the chaos, an unnoticeable wisp of Five Aggregates Demon Qi slipped into its body.
A violent rage surged through the Elephant Power Demon’s mind. It lashed out with its trunk, hoisting an Ox Power Demon high into the air and snapping it in half at the waist.
"Kill them all! Don’t leave a single one standing! Not one!"
The other Tier Two Celestial Demons, still retaining some semblance of reason, looked at each other in dismay. There were over three thousand Ox Power Demons here—how could they possibly kill them all?
But under the influence of the Five Aggregates Demon Qi, dozens of Ox Power Demons were already charging toward them with Demon Sabers raised.
"They’re trying to kill us all! They’re trying to kill us all!"
Yang Jing used his Five Aggregates Demon Qi to compel a few Ox Power Demons to shout this repeatedly throughout the herd. The throng of Ox Power Demons was instantly whipped into a frenzy.
Even the more timid Ox Power Demons were stirred into a frenzy, their eyes turning bloodshot.
With war cries, the Ox Power Demons charged toward the encircled Elephant Power Demons and Tier Two Ox Power Demons.
Ox Power Demons were constantly sent flying high into the air by tremendous force, coughing up blood, their fates unknown. After the lead Elephant Power Demon retrieved his Golden Melon Hammer from the horde, he became an unstoppable force, felling a demon with every swing. None could withstand a single blow.
Yang Jing allowed the Elephant Power Demon to continue its wanton slaughter. Only when the eyes of most Ox Power Demons burned with hatred did he suddenly unleash his True Martial Demon Vibration Power, silently suppressing all the Demonic Qi within the Elephant Power Demon’s body.
The Elephant Power Demon was in the middle of pulling its Golden Melon Hammer from an Ox Power Demon’s skull when it suddenly felt its Demonic Qi vanish without a trace.
It turned pale with shock and was about to cry for help, but the Ox Power Demons surrounding it had already swarmed forward, hacking wildly at its body with their sabers.
Its once-tough hide, now without the reinforcement of Demonic Qi, was instantly hacked into a bloody mess. The enraged Ox Power Demons roared, swinging their sabers madly, not stopping until they had minced it into an unrecognizable paste of flesh.
"It’s dead!"
"Shaleye is dead!"
A nearby Ox Power Demon grabbed the elephant’s head, which had been hacked beyond all recognition, and held it high.
"We’re finished! We’re finished!"
Niu Martial Sect cried out in terror. They had killed a noble Elephant Power Demon. Given the Instantaneous Demon Venerable’s brutal military discipline, every single Ox Power Demon here was surely going to be executed.
"Brother Wu Tang, I think our chance has truly arrived!" Yang Jing said with a smile.
"The more chaotic this Demon Realm becomes, the greater our chances of escaping to the Outer Realm, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Kill all the Demon Cultivators! Escape back to the Outer Realm!"
"Kill all the Demon Cultivators! Escape to the Outer Realm!"
A few Ox Power Demons roared, manipulated by the Five Aggregates Demon Qi.
Soon, with Yang Jing’s covert assistance, the other Elephant Power Demons and Tier Two Ox Power Demons who had charged into the fray were all killed. Their heads were lopped off, impaled on wooden stakes, and hoisted high.
Up on the hillside, the pampered Dragon Power Demon never could have imagined such a shocking turn of events. Its face turned deathly pale.
"Monsters! They’re all monsters! Quickly, contact the Eastern Demon Sect! Mobilize the army and slaughter every last one of these abominations!"
