Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Slash!
Arrrrrrrgh!!!

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Even though more than a dozen bat-like demon monsters were flying in the air, it would not be Zheng-Fu's problem to kill them. Because his flying saber could be controlled at will. No matter where he wanted it to fly or what stance he wanted it to slash, it could do it all. Moreover, its speed was comparable to the seventh level of the Deity Monarch Stage cultivator.
So, in just a matter of time, Zheng-Fu easily slaughtered the entire horde of newly arrived demon monsters. Then, he stored their remains in his dimension space and walked forward cheerfully. Because his mission score increased all the time until the last one he killed.
Two hours passed...
Groaaaaaan!!!
Slash!
Arrrrrrrgh!!!
[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of 335/1,000,000 evil demons]
"What are you guys screaming for?! Your voice is really annoying, you know!?"
After Zheng-Fu walked deeper, he encountered new groups of demon monsters that blocked his way again and again. And the results were no different from those demon monsters before that. They were killed in only a moment. After two hours, he still could not go deep because of the hordes of demon monsters blocking him along the way. Until his mission scores had increased to three hundred and thirty-five.
"Not bad at all! But the number of you guys is too few. Are there still more? If there are more, you all come out. The more the better, I like it!" Zheng-Fu knew that the tomb owner must have known about his arrival, otherwise he would not have continuously sent out demon monsters like that. Moreover, the energy levels of the demon monsters of the next hordes became higher and higher. But even so, their highest level was only the third level. And there were only a few of them who were at the fourth level. Therefore, Zheng-Fu shouted to the other party to send out more of his subordinates.
Deep in the tomb, in a vast hall where the tomb's owner's coffin was placed...
Damn it!
"This bastard dares to insult us? Master, let me go deal with that arrogant human, sir. I'll deal with his hubris and arrogance!" Protector Ventus was enraged. He was the one who lost the most underlings because he wanted to create more accomplishments than anyone else. He did not expect that his underlings would all die.
Huh!
"I told you that we should work together, but you still choose to work solo. So, how is it? Are you starting to be interested in joining us this time?" Protector Terra had a satisfied smile on his lips as he spoke to Protector Ventus. Since he saw that the latter wanted to show off, he let him do as he pleased. And he sent only a few of his subordinates to do the mission.
Shih!
"I still have thousands of demon monsters in Ventus Hall. If that bastard dares to enter my hall, I don't believe he'll be able to escape!" But Protector Ventus did not give up. He thought he still had a chance to deal with Zheng-Fu. And that only opportunity was Ventus Hall in his residence.
"Then it's up to you. But if Ventus Residence is destroyed and all your subordinates are dead, don't cry and go crazy!" Although Protector Ignis did not have much of a conflict with Protector Ventus, they were not very compatible. Therefore, he did not convince the latter to change his mind and let him do it. Besides, he would not show any sympathy if the latter made a mistake.
Huh!
"There's no way I'll make a mistake. You just wait and see!" Protector Ventus pursed his lips slightly at Protector Ignis before arguing indifferently. He was confident that he would never have that day.
"If you're confident you can deal with that human, then go ahead. But if you fail, you know what fate you'll meet, right?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded from the coffin in the middle of the room.
Yes, sir, Master!
"I won't disappoint you!"
Flap!
With permission, Protector Ventus immediately disappeared using his personal movement skills. Such a high speed, even the sixth level of the Deity Monarch Stage cultivator could not compare. Even those who were at the seventh level would have a hard time catching up.
Sigh!
"I didn't expect Ventus to be this impatient. Even though he has always been a calm person."
"Perhaps it's because the Master's resurrection ritual is about to be completed. So, he wants to impress Master!"
"What a stupid idea!"
The three protectors all knew Protector Ventus' personality well. They knew that Protector Ventus was always calm and reasonable. But today he was impatient and did not seem to think carefully. Such a personality was not at all suitable for being the loyal protector of their Great Master.
Coming back to Zheng-Fu again...
After dealing with the endless hordes of demon monsters and collecting all their remains, Zheng-Fu moved forward. But suddenly, the figure of a demon monster appeared not far from him. The demon monster beckoned Zheng-Fu to follow him in an obviously unusual manner.
"Want me to follow you, right? No problem! I'm happy to respond to you!" Even though Zheng-Fu knew that the other party was inviting him into a trap, he still chose to follow it. No matter what traps were hidden, he was not afraid in the slightest. As long as there were many more demon monsters for him to hunt.
Flap!
Soon, the demon monster brought Zheng-Fu to a very wide and large hall, which contained more than a thousand demon monsters gathered together. And most importantly, in the middle of those demon monsters stood a beautifully decorated building. And in front of that building sat a figure wearing green armor engraved with strange patterns. And the owner of that figure was Protector Ventus.
"Are you here, you arrogant human?!"
As soon as Protector Ventus saw Zheng-Fu enter Ventus Hall, he raised his head and stared at Zheng-Fu with murderous and angry eyes, before he shouted a sneer.
"Yes, I'm here. By the way, are there just these demon monsters here? Why are there so few?" Zheng-Fu nodded to Protector Ventus with an indifferent expression before asking him, disappointed at the number of demon monsters gathered in that hall.
You!
Protector Ventus heard Zheng-Fu's words and nearly vomited blood in anger. He did not think that Zheng-Fu would dare to say such a thing while being surrounded by such a large crowd of demon monsters. Although not all of them were at the Deity Monarch Stage, not a single one was below the sixth level of the Genuine Deity Stage. Anyone who had to be in that place would be afraid. Unless that person was at the Great Deity Stage.
"Good! Keep being cocky! After this, you'll know what true horror is like." Protector Ventus tried to suppress his emotions. Before he ordered all his underlings to form the battle formation they had previously cultivated, "Form the Hundred Killing Ventus Demon Monster Battle Formations!"
Hah, battle formation?!
"Demon monsters like you know how to use strategy and battle formation!?" Zheng-Fu was quite surprised when he saw the other party ordering a battle formation. Because demon monsters usually did not do that. Unless their leader was a high-ranking demon monster.
Huh!
"Scared? Are you starting to be afraid? But it's too late for you to be afraid. Because soon you'll have to…"
"Who told you that I'm afraid? I'm just wondering because low-rank demon monsters normally can't think and use battle strategies!" Zheng-Fu interrupted before Protector Ventus could finish speaking. Moreover, his words also irritated the other party a little.
You… You!
Zheng-Fu's words broke the last straw blocking Protector Ventus' emotions. And he raged to the utmost.
"Kill him!"
Groaaaaan!!!
Ghiiii!!!
Gahhhh!!!
Protector Ventus's underlings were mostly winged demon monsters that could fly. Because most winged demon monsters had very high-speed abilities. Only a few of them were land demon monsters such as the Six-legged Wolf Demon monster, the Four-Eyed Black Panther Demon monster, the Four-footed Storm Ape Demon monster, and some other species that were born with wind element energy within their bodies, which enhanced their speed.
However, the Hundred Killing Ventus Demon Monster Battle Formations strategy was only a combination of one hundred demon monsters, but there were thousands of demon monsters there. So, more than ten groups were gathered in those killing battle formations. With the power of each battle formation that had high intensity and energy destruction comparable to the initial fifth or sixth level of the Deity Monarch Stage cultivator, when attacking simultaneously, they could kill even the seventh level of the Deity Monarch Stage cultivator.
"Not bad! But there are still too many weaknesses. If this battle formation was used by the demons from the Demon Race instead of the demon monsters, its power must be higher than this. Plus, there'll be fewer flaws. So now, it'll be very easy for me to destroy these battle formations!"
To others, being attacked by all those battle formations of demon monsters might seem frightening. But to Zheng-Fu, it was not scary at all. Because he could clearly see their weaknesses and shortcomings, each battle formation would immediately split apart just by ordering the flying saber to attack the demon monster at its core.
Whoosh!
Booooom!!! Booooom!!! Booooom!!! Booooom!!!
Arrrrrrrgh!!!
No… that's not true!
Im… im… impossible!
And it was exactly as Zheng-Fu thought. Just by attacking the demon monsters that were the core of them, the battle formations collapsed, and they immediately scattered in different directions. But because there were more than ten battle formations, he chose to attack only certain groups and used the by-products of their explosions to cause other nearby groups to be off balance. Including using them to kill their own people who get in the way of other groups' battle formation, as well.
The situation before him caused Protector Ventus to turn pale and gasp. He was so proud of that battle formation skill. He trained his underlings for decades before they were able to form the battle formation he had created. And this was the first time he used that battle formation. But the result was perdition, and hundreds of his underlings died.

[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of … evil demons]
[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of 899/1,000,000 evil demons]
At the same time, Zheng-Fu's mission message kept popping up, saying that the number of evil souls he had to collect was increasing from killing those demon monsters. The original number of three hundred and thirty-five had now increased to eight hundred and ninety-nine. It was considered to have increased from the original by five hundred and sixty-four souls.
Excellent!
"This isn't enough. I have to hunt more!"
Kill them!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Gahhhh! Gahhhh! Gahhhh!
Slash! Slash! Slash
Ghiiii! Ghiiii! Ghiiii!
