Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 282 The Price (Part 4)

The thick black fog obscured everything, plunging everyone into darkness.

"Don't panic, this is the final reaction to the destruction of the lair. Be on guard to prevent the demons from escaping!"

The man in black armor had a rough voice, but it gave people a sense of security.

The demons' nest is both a protection and a constraint.

Inside the lair, the demons' strength increases significantly, and their aura is concealed, making them difficult to detect.

However, once the demons build their nests, they cannot leave. They must maintain the operation of the nests from time to time, expanding the nest's range and increasing their activity area through external invasions.

A demon's lair, to put it bluntly, is a sinister realm that can be controlled. This control means that the demons will expand their territory as much as possible, plundering human flesh and blood to expand their lair, thereby increasing their power, and ultimately transforming a region into a demon paradise!

In the entire Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, if a demon's lair is discovered, it must be completely eradicated at all costs!

He stood on the hill, recalling his past experiences, and wary of any movement below.

Logically, if the lair is destroyed, the demons will be severely weakened and will have no choice but to destroy the lair and fight back.

But this time, something's strange. So much time has passed, and there's still no movement...

Suddenly, he felt a tightening around his waist, and a strong force pushed him down from behind.

His attention was entirely focused ahead, and he hadn't been wary of his own men behind him. Adding to this, the surrounding black mist obscured his vision, and the force of the attack was immense. Caught off guard, he was pushed down. "Watch out behind you!!!"

Fortunately, he managed to react in the end and woke up instantly as he fell into the pit.

"Li Chengfeng?!"

Wang Youfang, who was closest, vaguely sensed what was happening and was shocked.

If Li Chengfeng were to suddenly make a move at this moment, wouldn't that mean...?

However, Li Chengfeng still provided some clues about the demon's lair here.

His mind raced, his hands moved incessantly, his hands forming a claw-like shape as he attacked Li Chengfeng.

"I'm not some Li Chengfeng..."

Li Chengfeng's face twitched, and his body gradually changed.

Tear!

He carelessly ripped off the skin from his face, revealing a dull, expressionless man's face, and grinned maliciously, "Now, I'll kill you all!!!"

"Blood Slaughter?!"

At this moment, the black mist slowly dissipated, and Ao Yang and the others quickly surrounded them, their hearts filled with shock.

If Li Chengfeng was actually replaced by Xue Tu in disguise, doesn't that mean that Li Chengfeng has probably met with misfortune?

However, their actions along the way were observed by the enemy.

"Ao Yang, Zhang Qingye, Wang Youfang..." Xue Tu's face was contorted with rage. "Very well, very well, they are all enemies who destroyed my Blood Blade Sect. Today, I can finally avenge them!!!"

"Blood Blade Sect?!" Ao Yang seemed to have thought of something, and all those long-buried memories resurfaced in his mind. "You are a descendant of Old Ghost Blood Blade?"

"Yes, Blood Blade Ancestor!" Blood Butcher's eyes were bloodshot, clearly provoked by Ao Yang's words. "Ao Yang, you're the one who killed my grandfather, I'll make you die!"

He let out a low growl, gripped the knife with both hands, and in an instant, a blood-red blade light suddenly shone in the mist, like blood, or a bewitching crescent moon, or a captivating, alluring eye that made it impossible to look away.

Snapped! ! !

But the knife had reached its end and could not move any further, because five fingers on the blade were firmly gripping the hilt.

"Is this your magnanimity...?" Ao Yang said with disappointment. "No matter how bad Blood Blade Old Ghost was, he was still a formidable figure who single-handedly upheld the Blood Blade Sect's glory for decades. As for you, you colluded with demons and monsters, you're nothing but a scum of humanity. I think you're nothing but a Blood Blade maggot..."

Bang! ! !

Ao Yang suddenly delivered a knee kick, the air exploding with a loud bang, like a thunderclap, as it slammed into Xue Tu's chest.

Boom! Blood Butcher was sent flying backward, dust flying everywhere and smoke billowing. He shakily got up in the smoke, vomiting mouthfuls of black blood, clearly seriously injured.

However, as if he felt no pain at all, he lunged at Ao Yang again, laughing wildly, "Scumbag, then I'll be a scumbag! This is the price I pay for my revenge!"

Bang! ! !

Another muffled thud, and unsurprisingly, he was punched directly in the body by Ao Yang and fell to the ground, like a rag doll that had been thrown and smashed to death on the road.

"Revenge? What's the point of doing this?" Ao Yang waved his fist, looking puzzled.

He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of killing Blood Butcher too quickly and failing to gather important intelligence.

Puff puff puff…

Thick, sticky blood mixed with fragments of broken internal organs oozed from Blood Butcher's mouth. He struggled, using his knife as a crutch, but smiled eerily: "As long as... I can hold you off... I can take my revenge..."

"?" Ao Yang was taken aback, before he could even think about it.

"Quickly, return to Anyan City!" At this moment, the Xuanjia Guard who had been thrown into the deep pit by Xue Tu was rescued by the crowd. His first words were like a bolt from the blue, "This place, this place is a fake nest. Their real target is only Anyan City!"

He noticed something was wrong as soon as he fell into the demon's lair. There were no demons there at all, and the initial black mist was just an illusion created by some kind of means!

This nest was actually a fake nest!

"Anyan City?!"

Everyone's expression changed. Now, the most powerful figures from all the major forces in Anyan City have spared no effort and mobilized all of them. The city is now the most vulnerable and weakest point.

Anyan City is undoubtedly the most important rear base for everyone. If anything happens to Anyan City…....

"I want you dead!!!" Wang Youfang's face turned ashen. He raised his palm and struck Xue Tu's head hard.

Blood Butcher's head was smashed to pieces in an instant, like a broken watermelon, with a lot of yellow, white and red stuff flying everywhere.

Even so, after being smashed to the ground, Blood Butcher still managed to stand up, trembling.

Then, his headless corpse, without a head, rapidly expanded like an inflating balloon, and the blood vessels and hair on his body became visible to the naked eye.

"Not good, retreat immediately!"

The Xuanjia Guards clearly noticed something was wrong with the Blood Slaughter Corpse, and their faces showed anxiety.

hum~

Blood Butcher's corpse trembled, as if it had expanded to its limit, the entire body swelling like a boulder several meters in size.

Boom! Everyone felt a resonant shock in their ears, like a thunderclap in broad daylight, and before their eyes, countless pieces of blood, flesh, and hair flew everywhere. Even with the cultivation of a three-strength martial artist from Aoyang, it was impossible not to be stained with blood and flesh residue.

"Damn!!!"

Wang Youfang felt a wave of bad luck, cursed angrily, and quickly ordered everyone to evacuate.

His mind was in complete turmoil, feeling utterly terrible. If something happened to Anyan City, he, as the county magistrate, would undoubtedly be the most responsible person, unable to escape blame.

This demon-slaying operation was spearheaded by him, who issued orders to ensure that all major forces in the city cooperated closely to carry out the mission.

Regardless of his anxiety, everyone present was even more anxious than the last. Their own territories were all within the city; if they were ambushed by demons from the rear…

Even if I die, I will have no face to face my ancestors...

The atmosphere within the team was somber, and morale was low.

Boom! ! !

However, as soon as the group came down from the hill, they heard a deep rumbling sound coming from afar.

The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.

"It can't be...that, can it..."

Everyone looked grim, and a guess was forming in their minds.

Those who can participate in the demon-slaying operation are at least Blood Refining stage warriors, and are all skilled fighters selected from those with rich combat experience.

This is deep within Black Rock Mountain!

The area around Black Rock Mountain is home to countless wild beasts and ferocious creatures. As for the depths of the mountain range, large and small beast tides erupt more than a hundred times a day, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close.

And the location they were in was the lair of countless demonic beasts and ferocious monsters.

The current situation clearly shows that Blood Butcher's death triggered the beast tide!

"It really is a beast tide, and a massive beast tide at that..."

A disciple stood on tiptoe and gazed into the distance. In the distance, countless black dots surged in like a tide, like black seawater, rolling in with giant waves as high as city walls, endless, blotting out the sky and leaving no gaps.

"Bloodtooth Rat..."

They are as large as house cats, ferocious by nature, and love to eat live prey. They are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and always move in large groups, like a locust swarm, devouring all flesh and blood.

But these ferocious Bloodtooth Rats are merely the most insignificant wave in the beast tide…

"The Lion of Jewels..."

"Rock-armored Wolf..." "Ghost-faced Fox..."

With each new monster's name uttered, everyone's hearts sank a little lower.

By the end, the disciple's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Amidst the beast tide, whether they were natural enemies or opposing carnivorous and herbivorous monsters, all of them now had bloodshot eyes, heavy breathing, and charged straight toward the flesh and blood created by the Blood Slaughter explosion.

"Kill!" At this critical moment, Ao Yang roared, "Anyone who doesn't want to die, charge out with me!"

At this moment, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, and they all took out their weapons and rushed forward desperately.

If you break through the beast tide, there's a chance of survival; if you can't, you're doomed!

There was no time to think, no time to fear, no time to hesitate.

There was no reconciliation, no pleading, no compromise. Only the clash of flesh against flesh, the gushing of blood and sweat, the hymn of life and death.

The winners live, the losers die, that's all.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Every plan has a price to pay, and the failure of the demon-slaying operation was one of those prices.

----------------------------------------------

Anyan City, Chiyan Sect, Meat Field.

bang bang bang! ! !

The once peaceful and tranquil meat field was suddenly disturbed by a series of hurried footsteps.

"Who?"

Elder Tian Jing, who was sitting in the open space in the middle of the meat field, engrossed in reading, closed her book, frowned, and stood up. "Old Tian...it's me, something's happened...something terrible..."

A blood-covered figure stumbled and crawled in.
