Chapter 186: Chapter 46 Assault and Slaughter (3/3, thanks to the readers for the tips~)In the southwest of Dust Li and the northwest of Da Chen, to the east of the Taiyuan Mountains, lies the vast plain known as the Great Wilderness of the Northwest. Although it is called the Great Wilderness, it is only uninhabited, not barren. The wilderness is full of trees and rivers, with hundred-meter-tall giants stretching into continuous forests, prime materials for the keels of large ships. Since a thousand years ago to the present day, this place has always been a crucial source of raw materials for Da Chen’s shipbuilding industry. Chongyi Building. A merchant association in the northwest border that specializes in transporting timber, its main building is located in Province City of Wild State. The Tower Master is a Grandmaster of Martial Meridians, and it’s said that he has the support of other major powers behind him—he’s merely the front man they’ve put forward. Now, it seems that the power behind Chongyi Building is none other than the True Demon Sect. Kanming City, Chongyi Building. The sky had darkened, and the dim yellow lights flickered in the night hall below, but there were only a few who were truly watching their surroundings. A Martial Artist dozed off, holding a saber, nodding on and off; another was drinking wine, hopelessly drunk off peanuts, while several guards played dominoes with great enthusiasm, boisterously cursing and laughing as the clattering of dominoes and the clinking of Silver Coins mixed, creating a lively scene. If it were a normal day, though Chongyi Building’s discipline would not require everyone to be on guard, at least a majority would take their duties seriously... but who can blame them for their immense pressure these days, as they are about to fight to the death? Not all members of Chongyi Building are followers of the True Demon Sect, but in Kanming City, those people have long been transferred out, replaced with core believers of the True Demon Sect. These believers...each and every one of them a desperado, regarding human life as worthless, slaughter as child’s play, and moral humanity as nothing. The only reason they would die for the True Demon Sect is because their lives were already given to the Heavenly Demon in past transactions and sacrifices, with their entire wellbeing now in the Heavenly Demon’s hands. Having feasted and indulged for so many years in Kanming City, now that it was time for them to lay down their lives, many were reluctant, but indeed, it was time. Therefore, in the days leading up to the grand operation, they each sought to enjoy themselves to the fullest, eat to their heart’s content, and relish in their final spree! However, if they were successful, those who survived would gain immense rewards... Setting aside other benefits, prolonging lives and returning to youth were also very much possible! "It’s our bad luck this time!" After a round of the card game ended, a few Demon Disciple guards poured themselves bowls of wine. After gulping down the liquid, they couldn’t help complaining, "The others are off enjoying songs, watching plays, and womanizing, while we’re stuck here, playing cards in the freezing wind!" "Stop it, that bunch of crazies, knowing they’ve got to risk their lives in a few days, are sure to play until they drop dead, it’s disgusting, makes you go soft!" someone retorted, spitting disdainfully to the side: "Just goes to show, they can’t handle the play. I say those little masters last longer, wonder if there’ll be a chance to have more fun with them in the future." "Dream on, the sooner you die, the better." Another guard waved dismissively, revealing a mouthful of twisted, sharp, rotting teeth, "Don’t talk about this crap, it gives me a headache. Just drink..." "Alas..." The Demon Disciple Martial Artist who had been dozing was awakened by the noise, and with bleary eyes said, "Heard that this time, they’ll kill off the whole city... I’ve got my eyes on the girl from Old Zhong’s Family next door, no idea if I’ll get to enjoy her before the sacrifice." He stuck out his crimson, barbed tongue, licking his lips, and muttered half-asleep, "That figure, that skin, so sweet and tender, if I could just take a bite... heh heh..." "All you think about is eating." the others sneered, to which the sleepy Demon Disciple retorted, "True, I like to eat ’steamed buns,’ but that’s better than you lot, falling for the ’buns’ and then eating them up. Isn’t that sickening?" Under the dim yellow light, chaos reigned among the demons. Outside the window, the clouds grew denser, and no stars or moonlight could be seen. The harsh winter snow and wind pelted the windows, building up an opaque layer of frost. As the wind blew by the building, a shadow flashed past. No one took notice. A quarter of an hour later, amidst the snowstorm, the four corner pillars of Chongyi Building suddenly flickered. Then, a fierce explosion followed by a column of dust and smoke arose, with a bright light akin to thunder, illuminating every detail of the surrounding streets in an instant! Boom!!!!! Amid the stirring snowstorm and the terrifying sounds of creaking and collapsing, the originally twelve-story Chongyi Building leaned—and a surge of Demonic Qi spilled out from within, reaching into the clouds and forming a towering, illusory demon shadow amidst the blizzard! But this was not Chongyi Building’s trump card; rather, the Law Domain inside Chongyi Building was manifesting due to the building’s collapse and inclination. "Ambush! Ambush!" "Help! My eyes!" "Who is it?! Did the fiendish qi cannon from Da Chen’s official residence fire at us?!" For a moment, inside and outside Chongyi Building, screams and roars were incessant, and a large number of guards with mobility instinctively fled the dangerous building. They weren’t afraid of being buried, but rather they were acting on instinct. And this very instinct was their cause of death. "Bang!" Amidst the snowstorm, a red brilliance lit up, and the noisy sounds drowned out the muffled gunfire. Within the Chongyi Building guard squad, a few who were still calmly shouting, gathering the team, and quelling the turmoil, seemed to hear the sound of something flying rapidly. The most noticeable among them, the one around whom the most people had gathered, the demon disciple felt a jolt in his forehead, as if something hot and broken had been stirred into his head... and then it exploded. He was dead. "Hidden weapons! Be careful!" But before the body with the shattered skull could slump to the ground, another shot was fired—by this time, one of the elite demon disciples had reacted. He looked around in shock, searching for the shooter of the hidden weapon, but he couldn’t even imagine that there was something called a ’sniper rifle’ in this world. A bullet whizzed past, tearing a path through the snowy mist and frosty wind, plunging him into complete darkness. "Over there!" The people in Chongyi Building were, after all, the elites of the True Demon Sect. After the death of two squad leaders, the remaining people also determined the direction from which the bullets were fired. They quickly raised their crossbows and fired arrows, while some swift martial artists immediately moved to the dead angles of the buildings, surrounding the area from all directions. But just at that moment, a dark shadow unexpectedly leaped up without hesitation, retracting the earth escape divine skill that was supposed to allow for a safe transfer, drawing a streak like an ink line through the white frost and snow. What followed was an explosion! This shadow, completely wrapped in a dark douli, forcibly smashed through all the crossbow arrows, then flung out a handful of thunder beads. Boom boom boom boom boom boom! A series of curved explosion clouds mixed with thunder and lightning covered the demon disciples gathered in front, and a dozen figures were thrown out amidst screams and cries of pain. And when he landed, of the once dense encirclement, only a few remained, and these few who withstood the thunder beads were fearlessly roaring as they rushed towards An Jing. What greeted them was a ribbon-like flash of the blade! Like a hungry tiger swinging a claw, he sliced through the necks of the two in front. Before their heads could fall, blood spurted from their necks, and An Jing had already sheathed his sword. Without the slightest pause, An Jing leaped up again, heading for the confused, those who hadn’t yet reacted, those who still didn’t understand how many enemies there were, or what the situation was now, preying on the demon disciples. Scarlet blood fiend flickered on the blade’s edge and in the eyes, drawing two crimson lines through the frost and snow. Crack! Splurt! The smell of blood spread through the air, one demon sect martial artist after another, one Chongyi Building guard after another, all had their heads roll, leaving not a single spark of life. This was not a battle. The one-sided massacre had begun.
