Chapter 185 - 120: However Many Come, However Many Will Die
The power of the Illusion Technique was pushed to its absolute limit in a desperate attempt to influence Gu Zheng’s mind.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Gu Zheng stood atop the wall, ignoring the attacks, and threw one punch after another.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
With three more explosive sounds, three Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons were shattered.
Spirit Capturing!
[Demon Points +17]
[Demon Points +18]
...
"AIIIE~!"
The remaining Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons were finally afraid, ordering their massive tornado to retreat.
At the same time, they released plumes of a thick, black-and-yellow smog visible to the naked eye. It was just like a weasel’s stinking defense, a means to cover their escape.
Hm?
Gu Zheng’s heart tightened. His figure flickered as he moved with incredible speed, dodging the black-and-yellow smog’s direct assault.
He could sense the smog posed a slight threat, but it wasn’t significant.
Still, it was best to avoid it if possible. There was no need to experience its effects firsthand.
Gu Zheng had no intention of letting the remaining Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons escape in their tornado.
After dodging the smog, he soared into the air, circled around it, and charged toward the tornado.
While still in mid-air, he began throwing punch after punch!
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
His radiant fists tore through the sandstorm, ripped apart the tornado, and plunged deep inside, striking one Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demon after another.
He blew them apart, sending a rain of gore and viscera flying through the air.
Spirit Capturing!
The remaining Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons immediately fled even faster.
They shot straight for the entrance to the tunnel.
WHOOSH~
SWOOSH!
Gu Zheng gave chase, rushing toward the tunnel right behind them.
The sight left everyone watching with their jaws agape.
The same tornado that used to slam relentlessly against the high wall, killing dozens, even hundreds of people each time it appeared, was now the one being chased.
"This Lord Gu is just too incredible, isn’t he?"
"You can say that again. An ordinary Thousand Households is nowhere near that strong."
"Otherwise, why else do you think Grand General Meng and Grand General Xie took Lord Gu as their disciple?"
"Yes! This is great! With Lord Gu here, we don’t have to be afraid of the Yellow Wind Demons anymore!"
"..."
Atop the high wall, from within the bunkers, the Demon Suppression Guards and Warriors all cheered in excitement.
...
「Above Lu Shou Pit.」
The remaining Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons directed their tornado to flee as fast as they could, ducking into the tunnel.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Gu Zheng pursued them from behind, launching one punch after another.
’If one punch won’t kill it, I’ll just use two.’
’The Divine Wondrous energy is being consumed too quickly.’
Gu Zheng popped a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth to replenish his energy.
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH~
In the midst of the chase, only two Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons were left, and they fled back into the vertical, downward-sloping tunnel.
SWOOSH!
Gu Zheng pursued them relentlessly, following them into the tunnel.
He passed through the Tunnel Between Two Realms, which was less than two hundred meters long, and entered the Demon Realm.
The first thing he saw was a vast desert of yellow sand.
’Just like the other side.’
’The tunnel here also led straight down.’
’One end was at the surface, the other deep underground.’
’So this tunnel connected the two worlds, but one was vertically above the other.’
’It all depended on which entrance you were standing at.’
After emerging, Gu Zheng scanned his surroundings and locked onto the two fleeing Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons.
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH~
His figure blurred as he burst into a sprint, chasing after them.
"BOOM!" "BOOM~"
His fists shot forward, tearing through the air and the swirling yellow sand to strike the Tier 2 Yellow Wind Demons with perfect accuracy.
The first one exploded on impact.
The second one’s body erupted in a spray of blood. Gu Zheng was right on it, landing another punch.
"THUD~!"
After the muffled impact, another spray of gore and viscera appeared.
Spirit Capturing!
[Demon Points +21]
[Demon Points +17]
...
’Finally, they’re dealt with.’
Gu Zheng let out a breath and turned to survey his surroundings.
The aura of Demon Fiends permeated the air.
Within his line of sight, yellow sand covered the land, and mounds of sand shifted or vanished one by one.
’Hm? What’s that?’
Suddenly, Gu Zheng’s gaze fixed on something, a look of delighted surprise filling his eyes!
