39: Chapter 39: Fearsome Demon and Outer Enemy (Thanks to the lord of alliance Ma En, who painfully desires to do math problems!) 39: Chapter 39: Fearsome Demon and Outer Enemy (Thanks to the lord of alliance Ma En, who painfully desires to do math problems!) The Demon God stepped forward, shaking the entire valley. “We’ve succeeded,” An Jing slowly exhaled, his nervous tension easing slightly at the sight. This was the most suitable skill among the many taught to him by the Sword Spirit for the current situation—with the power of the Heavenly Venerate, he commanded the Demonic Qi, condensing a Heavenly Demon Illusion! This was the power used by the Imperial Heaven Star Detriment Ritual Sacrifice to control ghost gods and evil demons and to attack external enemies, aside from the sacrifices. In the past few decades, no one had ever used this function, and almost everyone had forgotten about it. Had An Jing not borrowed the power of the Sword Spirit through the Ritual Sacrifice, which allowed him, the host of the Sword Spirit, to naturally control it, he would not have known how to use it, even if he obtained the Demon Sect’s Ritual Sacrifice manual. “The Ritual Sacrifice is out of control, the Ritual Sacrifice is out of control!!” “It’s a Terrifying Demon, quickly form up in Battle Formation, cast aside the fear in your hearts, or else all your fears will become its power!” The lecturer who was presiding over the Ritual Sacrifice from the Demon Sect recognized the origin of the Heavenly Demon Illusion at a glance. While they gathered in shock, knowing they were in serious trouble, they were also aware that they absolutely could not be cowardly in the face of the Fearsome Demon, for once they showed cowardice… Boom! The massive Heavenly Demon Illusion took a step forward, emitting a silent rebuke, with waves of tangible Spirit energy rippling out, causing a lecturer who gathered reluctantly and with a face of fear to freeze on the spot. In just an instant, he seemed to have undergone the greatest and most terrifying torture of this world, crying and howling like a child, then turning to flee. The Heavenly Demon Illusion reached out from afar, grasping the lecturer—pulling back its hand, the flesh and blood remained unharmed, but a semi-transparent soul was dragged out and directly entered its hand. The soul struggled futilely and was eventually chewed up and completely crushed by the Heavenly Demon Illusion. As for the body on the ground, its eyes were vacant, and the body lost all control, alive only as a chunk of living flesh. “Demons, demons…” Seeing such a horrific scene, not just the Demon Sect members facing the Heavenly Demon Illusion, but even the young boys and girls in the rear shook like sieves—who among them had ever seen such a fearsome giant? Those instructors still had real swords in their hands, but all the youngsters had were wooden swords and spears for training! Even though the Battle Formation they learned was identical to that of the instructors, and clearly meant to fight against the Heavenly Demon Illusion, they now had no courage to make a move. Following this tide of fear, the mist thickened, and the Heavenly Demon Illusion roared to the sky, growing even larger. It even noticed the significant source of fear behind it and so tried to step backward, reaching out to grab the young boys and girls. Yet, a figure stood before it, blocking the path of the Fearsome Demon. “Stand back!” In his hand was only a wooden sword, and before him stood the Heavenly Demon Illusion—a courage that made no sense, but An Jing stood tall, blocking the Demon God, making everything seem as if it were the natural order of things. Already prepared to summon the broken sword and confront the Heavenly Demon Illusion with the residual Sword Spirit and Sword Qi in the Great Formation if anything went awry, An Jing stared directly at the Heavenly Demon Illusion before him, he shouted fearlessly, “Your enemy is over there!” Then, An Jing called out, “Don’t be afraid, regroup in the Battle Formation.” He sternly commanded his own team to cooperate, even stepping forward, “This is the ‘Fearsome Demon,’ which grows by devouring fear!” “But it is ultimately under our control… those who have the courage, follow me forward!” Thud! Seeing An Jing step forward, the Heavenly Demon Illusion—the Fearsome Demon—actually took a step back, showing an unmistakable look of wariness. At the same time, upon hearing An Jing’s voice, everyone, even without hope, subconsciously looked up. Such was An Jing’s authority—as long as he was speaking, there would always be someone who listened. Then, they watched in amazement. That colossal Fearsome Demon. Not only did it not crush An Jing like it would a bug, but it was actually repelled by him. —Could it be, even demons feel fear? “What’s there to be scared of!” “Yes!” For a moment, a sense of pride surged, and as a staunch loyalist of An Jing, Gu Yeqi was the first to follow, with Cang Linzu also moving forward without any hesitation. Immediately after that, the entire Star Era group of An Jing followed! “Qinghan?” At this moment, members of each group looked towards their leaders. The third group was no exception, and more people were focused on Bai Qinghan because, like An Jing, she had awakened the “Strange Mandate”. They waited for the stance of this ‘second-in-command of the team’. “Let’s follow.” The girl with long hair like a waterfall looked at the figure before her, lowered her gaze, and spoke softly. Then she too moved forward, walking alongside An Jing towards the Fearsome Demon: “On this point,” “I believe in him.” Therefore, after a brief moment of chaos, with a leader in place, all the Children of Calamity took a step forward. Then, a courage unique to the young, akin to the bravery of calves unaware of the tigers, burst forth. —-Indeed! What’s the worst that could happen? Death? What was there to fear! Thus, they all mustered their courage, following An Jing, weapons in hand, and forced the Fearsome Demon to retreat! Whoosh—— Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Invisible, yet surging winds came forth, compelling the Fearsome Demon to step back. The will of dozens of people, commanded by a chief, condensed into one. The Battle Formation had already taken shape. As long as An Jing did not retreat, even the Fearsome Demon could not affect the young men and women within the formation. Pressured by the Military Formation and also bound by the Great Formation, the Fearsome Demon unwillingly turned its head. Although it was just an illusion, it could tell that the adults before it were tougher opponents. But driven by the overwhelming force of the formation, it let out a furious howl and charged towards the Battle Formation of the Demon Sect. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled as the Fearsome Demon and the Demon Sect clashed violently, with sand flying, stones rolling, and black mist swirling. “Stop! Stop!” At this moment, the one-eyed Instructor Li was still attempting to intervene, shouting angrily at An Jing and the young boys and girls: “Damn it, you bunch of little rascals, are you staging a rebellion? Stop this instant!” He thought that relying on his established authority, he could intimidate some of the children, but the boys and girls paid him no mind, and An Jing ignored him as well. Strangely enough, the Master of the Medicine Manor, the strongest presence there, did not join the effort to suppress the Fearsome Demon. He didn’t immediately erupt with action to capture An Jing, who was leading the formation in rebellion and, for some reason, had control over the Ritual Formation. Instead, the old man turned his head to look back at Hanging Fate Manor, his gaze transfixed. “This is bad,” he muttered: “Could it be an invasion from outside?” It was then that the warning gong from afar within the manor suddenly sounded! The gong’s sound was distant and profound, carrying a force that shook the soul. It reached the valley behind the mountain in an instant. ——Someone was invading Hanging Fate Manor? With alarm in his heart, An Jing glanced towards the direction of the manor with his peripheral vision, while his eyes remained intently focused on the increasingly dangerous old man. Even so, he was still shocked by what he saw. On the other side of the manor, halfway up a mountain, a unit of well-equipped Red Armored Warriors descended like divine soldiers from the heavens, plunging into the inner side of the manor. An Jing even saw the Seven-Colored Demon Plague rising up in the manor, which was a hidden defensive mechanism of the manor, and a blast of red and blue flames swept across the plague, burning everything and raising a cloud of black smoke into the sky. In a moment, the air was filled with the presence of swords and spirits, the Spirit Flame Fiend intertwining, and the resonant war cries and sounds of battle echoed throughout the entire manor.
