Chapter 46 Demons
The night was dark, and the rain poured down.
The bird of prey soars high.
As Xiang Zaishan swept into the mountains of Feilongtan, his large foot stepped on a treetop and broke it, nearly causing him to fall to the ground.
He wore his signature jet-black robe, bamboo hat, and a long sword with a dark black scabbard; anyone who saw this sword would give him a wide berth.
However, it is intolerable that a master like him almost fell.
During this period, he was hunted down more than a dozen times. Not to mention the masters from various major sects in the city, there were countless people from the city patrol bureau waiting to take his head back to claim credit.
The continuous heavy rains have made the rivers in the jungle turbulent, and the rivers meander through the mountains and forests, their movements mysterious and unpredictable.
Xiang Zaishan knew Feilongtan and the surrounding Feilong Mountain area better than anyone else. Once inside the mountains, he could handle any pursuit.
but,
These days of frantic fighting have given him a new understanding of swordsmanship, and similarly, countless raids and devourings have also given him the capital to advance.
"Humans, what delicious food."
Xiang Zaishan is the name he uses in the human world, but as a demon who has only undergone three transformations, he also feels that it is too risky for him to be so unrestrained in the human world.
However, as the most powerful predator in the world that feeds on humans, he believed he had such confidence.
As it swept into the jungle, its movement changed drastically from that of a mountain dweller. Fine scales slowly spread over the wounds inflicted by weapons, then secreted a milky white mucus to gently cover them. A bright red tongue emerged from its mouth, slowly licking the gruesome wounds. After the milky white mucus covered the wounds, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was as if they had never existed.
Demonic blood flowed gurglingly.
"Little brother, where are you...?"
Xiang Zaishan murmured to himself in the raging wind and rain. His body stretched and became incredibly thin, running through rocks and vegetation as if walking on flat ground, as if treading on waves.
Forty-nine years of separation has been far too long.
In the human world, this period of time is enough to experience birth, aging, sickness, and death.
He still remembers the heartbreaking scene from his childhood.
His mother was pierced through the head by a swordsman dressed in a suit embroidered with a purple sun. He followed his father in a desperate escape, passing through this city amidst the bloodthirsty pursuit of humans. At that time, he had just undergone his first metamorphosis, while his younger brother had just hatched.
With a heavy heart, the father placed the tiny snake, which hadn't even grown scales yet and had been cut out of his mother's belly beforehand, into the deep pool. He made a vow to return fifty years later, take his young son, and avenge himself against the powerful human.
However, he had indeed been waiting for a long time.
Flying Dragon Pool is right at our feet.
However, no matter how hard he tried to sense it, he couldn't detect even the slightest trace of his younger brother.
The deep pool water is bottomless, and the stream that flows through Feilong Mountain crosses the valley and flows into the vast green lake.
I gaze into the distance from the mountain in the rain.
Perhaps the younger brother found the Flying Dragon Pool too small, so he crossed the mountains and entered the Green Lake.
Xiang Zaishan comforted himself in this way.
younger brother,
I will definitely take you home; this half-century-long journey of separation must eventually come to an end.
Perhaps the younger brother has already grown into a serpent, and his third molt is not far off.
He thought to himself excitedly.
Amidst the thunder and rain, a series of whooshing sounds echoed from outside Flying Dragon Mountain, carrying with them the whooshing of clothes through the air.
The humans chasing him are divided into several small teams, pursuing him from different directions, vowing to take his head.
The poor ants mistook him for a transgressor among their kind and made him their prey.
Little did they know that he was the real hunter.
"Humans—let's have some fun with this game called slaughter!"
At this moment, the tiny scales covering his human-like face slowly receded, and his appearance once again became indistinguishable from a human's.
Only his vertical pupils gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
-----------------
"Young master! That fellow has fled towards Flying Dragon Pool."
The speaker was named Zhu Jiuyang. He was not a member of the city patrol, but a master tracker kept by the Cao family.
Using one's own people for personal purposes during official business violates the regulations of the city patrol, but no one dares to interfere.
"There's hardly any cover for miles around Feilongtan, what was he going there for?"
Cao Zhang was completely baffled.
"My lord, there are many who have entered the mountains to encircle and suppress them. We cannot fall behind. That fellow has been attacked and stabbed several times, clearly in a vital position. We should press our advantage and not let others get there first!"
This is Chen Budu, one of Cao Zhang's most capable subordinates.
On such a miserable stormy night, how wonderful it would be to stay in a warm room and make love with Ah Xiang.
unfortunately,
A man should strive to achieve great things.
Cao Zhang offered himself a painful consolation.
However, he recently managed to completely exclude his genius sister, who had always been above him, from family affairs, which gave him a sense of great victory. He especially hated Song Shen, who had repeatedly defied him and thwarted his schemes of falsifying accounts.
Sooner or later, they will find out what they really mean.
Cao Zhang thought to himself, so what if he's a genius? As long as he takes the head of that Three Calamities Blade Demon Xiang Zaishan tonight, he'll be promoted to deputy commander. In a few years, with his connections and status, it'll only be a matter of time before he becomes the commander in charge of an entire district. At that time, he'll have great power and can deal with anyone he wants.
Seeing Cao Zhang's stunned expression, Chen Budu quickly added, "My lord! Xiang Zaishan's swordsmanship is superb, and he is exceptionally cunning. We absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip by!"
Startled awake by the cold rain, Cao Zhangru said impatiently, "I know! Let's go, let's chase after them! We'll go in from the north entrance, that's the fastest!"
"Yes, sir!!"
A large group of experts from the Cao family and the city patrol were rushing through the forest, chasing after Flying Dragon Pool.
In no time,
Everyone paused.
"Old Zhu, why did you stop?"
Before Zhu Jiuyang could speak, the man in black who had been silently following behind Cao Zhang said in a deep voice, "Young Master, there are people ahead."
Provoked, Cao Zhang drew his sword, frowning as he said, "Could it be that demon?"
The man in black listened intently and said, "I don't know, but this person's agility is extremely impressive, and he's approaching rapidly."
Zhu Jiuyang was also quite taken aback: "Lord Linghu, is this person friend or foe?"
Everyone present knew that this expert surnamed Linghu was from the Cao family. Whenever Cao Zhang went out to carry out dangerous missions, this person would accompany him.
The man in black hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "I don't know, but appearing at this time, could he also be one of the pursuers? It's probably not that demon; he wouldn't be foolish enough to walk right into a trap…hiss…no, this person is heading our way!"
Cao Zhang said impatiently, "This is truly strange! Who else could come?"
A few finger snaps later, a dark figure flew over the jungle, leaping at several exaggerated angles before landing on the open ground in front of it.
When the familiar faces turned around, everyone in the Cao household gasped in surprise.
"It's you???!"
