Chapter 72: I Will Make Qingzhou Bury with Him
“Demon King? Hundreds of thousands of the Demon Race?”
The moment these words were spoken, the entire Mingxin Lake fell into dead silence.
Every face turned solemn, expressions more grave than ever before.
Hundreds of thousands of the Demon Race—there was no possibility they had come to befriend the human race.
Demons regarded humans as food—who would befriend their own prey?
Humans likewise saw demons as outsiders, holding the belief that those not of one’s race must harbor different intentions. The Demon Suppression Division existed because of this.
Humans and demons had no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
From the age of immortals and gods until now, the relationship between humans and demons had always been thus, with almost no change.
At most, the higher-ranking demon powerhouses had learned to weigh situations and contend for personal gain, showing a degree of restraint.
Thus, full-scale life-and-death battles had not erupted.
Otherwise, humans and demons could never have maintained the relative calm seen today.
At that moment—
“Buzz!”
The entire earth suddenly seemed to tremble. The wine on the surrounding tables quivered silently.
Even the waters of Mingxin Lake began to ripple violently, wave after wave intensifying.
It was as if a powerful shock surged from beneath the ground, spreading outward like ripples, drawing closer and closer.
“Ring the bell!” Old Master Qin shouted, his expression solemn as he suddenly looked toward the distant sky.
At that instant, everyone stood up and gazed into the distance.
In the far-off sky, dust clouds surged wildly, soaring straight into the heavens.
The tremors grew stronger and stronger.
It was as if a million troops were galloping across the land, kicking up endless dust and shaking the vast earth.
Such a sight caused everyone on Mingxin Lake to change expressions drastically.
Hundreds of thousands of the Demon Race were charging forward—Qingzhou City was about to face catastrophe.
“Buzz!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan also grew grave. His aura surged, as if invisible hands stirred the surrounding space.
His body rose from the ground, ascending into midair, looking toward the outskirts of the city.
“Dong!”
At that moment, the massive bell within Qingzhou City tolled.
The entire city seemed to fall silent for a heartbeat—then instantly erupted into chaos.
Countless voices rose from all directions. Figures leapt onto rooftops, all looking toward the city outskirts.
The Demon Suppression Division, the City Commandant Office, and even the stationed army—all mobilized as countless figures rushed onto the city walls.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The bell rang faster and faster, its waves spreading endlessly. Flocks of birds scattered into the sky.
Signal smoke rose abruptly from every city tower.
Within that smoke, carrier pigeons took flight, heading toward the capital of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty.
At the same time, soldiers mounted horses and galloped out of the city, spreading in all directions.
In mere moments, the entire Qingzhou City entered a state of war readiness.
“Rumble……”
As time passed, within the dust-covered sky in the distance, it seemed as though countless thunderclaps roared.
The ground trembled even more violently.
Even within the Inner City, one could feel the shaking beneath their feet. The wind between heaven and earth grew fierce.
Flags and the figures standing atop the city walls had their clothes and hair whipping violently in the wind.
“Sword Saint of Cangshan!”
At that moment, an enraged shout rang out like thunder from afar.
In the next instant, everyone watching saw the vast dust clouds silently part.
A massive creature, pitch-black like a colossal dragon, appeared.
Amidst surging ferocity, three enormous heads emerged, along with six blood-red eyes as large as lanterns, appearing above Qingzhou City.
“Demon King!”
“Three-Headed Profound Serpent!”
Feeling that savage aura, everyone instinctively cried out.
Under the gaze of those enormous blood-red eyes, a chill rose from the depths of their hearts, spreading instantly through their bodies—hearts pounding, scalps tingling.
It felt as if an invisible force gripped their throats, making it difficult to breathe.
A Demon King—only a Profound Realm Grandmaster could resist it.
Moreover, demons possessed bloodline inheritance, naturally stronger than humans, wielding various bloodline secret arts, and possessing incomparably powerful physical bodies.
One Demon King required at least two or more Profound Realm Grandmasters to safely contend with.
Even with the Sword Saint of Cangshan’s unmatched Sword Dao, facing a Demon King required utmost caution.
“Clang!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan clenched his hand in the air, and a longsword shot up, landing directly in his grasp.
His expression was solemn as Sword Intent burst forth from his body.
To all, it seemed as though a towering sword rose into the heavens around him.
Terrifying Sword Intent spread outward from him in all directions, tearing apart the clouds in the sky into scattered fragments.
“You actually… broke through!”
The three massive heads, like small mountains, loomed above Qingzhou City. Their mouths opened simultaneously, voices rumbling like thunder.
Terrifying currents of air erupted, sweeping through the city, shattering buildings and towers alike.
Countless people fell or collapsed to the ground.
The ferocity of demons struck terror into the heart.
Even from afar, one could feel a bone-chilling cold, causing uncontrollable trembling.
“So this is… a demon?”
Li Yunqing murmured. Her body trembled slightly, her face devoid of color, shaken by the overwhelming murderous aura.
Everyone around her was the same.
The women present were in utter disarray, collapsing to the ground, their expressions blank—frightened senseless.
Even many men in the city nearly collapsed.
The Demon King’s terrifying aura filled them with fear from the depths of their hearts.
“Yes!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan responded, his voice like clashing metal, murderous intent surging skyward.
His previously scholarly demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by a towering presence, endless killing intent erupting from him.
That was the accumulated killing aura of twenty years, now unleashed without restraint.
At the peak of the Qi Realm, he had once struck this Demon King with a desperate sword, severely injuring it, though he himself was gravely wounded and afflicted with the Poison of Nine Infants.
Now that he had broken through, he held no fear—his battle intent soared.
“So what if you broke through!”
The Three-Headed Profound Serpent roared, its three massive mouths opening as its ferocity surged.
A thunderous roar like a dragon’s cry resounded across the sky.
Throughout Qingzhou City, buildings vibrated and hummed. Countless people grew dizzy, swaying as if drunk.
Even Li Yunqing’s face flushed unnaturally red, her body trembling as she struggled to remain standing.
The Demon King’s might surpassed all imagination.
But what followed plunged the entire city into despair.
“Buzz!”
The dust clouds in the distant sky parted once more. A massive tiger head, like a small mountain, and an equally enormous wolf head appeared.
Terrifying Demon King auras instantly filled the entire city.
“Three… Demon Kings!”
Seeing the tiger and wolf, everyone was seized with terror.
One Demon King—the Sword Saint of Cangshan might resist.
But now, three Demon Kings had appeared together—even the Sword Saint would likely fall in hatred.
Not to mention beneath those dust clouds were hundreds of thousands of the Demon Race, about to arrive at the city gates.
Such power was enough to destroy an entire city. Even though messages had already been sent in all directions, it was too late.
At that moment, despair surged in everyone’s hearts.
Even the soldiers, Demon Suppression Guards, and City Commandant troops atop the walls had their morale sink.
A suffocating despair enveloped all of Qingzhou City.
“Sword Saint of Cangshan!”
The Three-Headed Profound Serpent spoke again. Violent currents raged across the sky above the city, winds and clouds churning.
“I will not let you die so easily!”
“You guard Great Azure Mountain to protect the human race?”
“Today, I will make you watch with your own eyes as Qingzhou’s humans are annihilated.”
“Watch as those you care about die one by one before you.”
“I will make all of Qingzhou bury with my son!”
