Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Ye Ge, Song Jie, Ling, Hui Yan, and others arrived at Wan Jian City together.

The situation before him was truly unexpected.

Wanjian City is a rather retro city-state with an architectural style that has a distinctly oriental flair, but now the entire city is deserted, the city gates are wide open, and there isn't a single person on the roads inside... no, not even a single bird can be seen!

The entire city was deathly silent, empty, so quiet that you could clearly hear every whistle of the wind—it was eerily quiet!

Song Jie was completely bewildered: "What's going on? Why is there no one here?? Did we come to the wrong place??"

Ye Ge frowned slightly.

Zero said from the side, "We just turned the whole city upside down, but we didn't see a single person. It's as if everyone in the city suddenly vanished."

Song Jie exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? My master and I were just doing role-playing in the city at noon, and everything was normal here at that time!"

Ye Ge didn't speak. He calmly observed his surroundings and gently sniffed the air.

He smelled a strong lingering demonic aura in the air.

Could it be that some other demon race beat them to it, stormed into Ten Thousand Swords City, and slaughtered the entire city-state?

But......

Even if the city had been ravaged by demons, there wasn't a trace of blood left here.

Ye Ge walked around the streets and found them to be very messy. There were all sorts of vendors' stalls on the roadside that hadn't been packed up yet. She could even imagine that there must have been people selling things here not long ago, and there were many passersby coming and going, but now everyone was gone.

Ye Ge picked up a broken wooden plaque from the ground. The cut was still fresh and very neat, with a faint trace of demonic energy remaining on it, as if it had been cut by some kind of sword carrying demonic energy.

"Meow~"

Bai Xueling, perched on his left shoulder, seemed to sense an eerie aura as well. She scratched Ye Ge's shoulder with her cat paw, as if trying to warn her about something.

The calamity spirit on his right shoulder also gently fluttered its black wings, warning, "My lord, I sense a dangerous aura. You'd better be careful."

The night song is silent.

"Everyone be careful."

Ye Ge put down the wooden sign and said in a deep voice, "It seems that some kind of powerful evil monster exists in this city."

"A demon?" Song Jie shuddered and said weakly, "Boss, don't scare me..."

Soon, Ye Ge sensed a powerful demonic aura rapidly approaching.

As a demonized mutant, he is extremely sensitive to demonic energy.

"coming!"

Ye Ge's gaze sharpened as he stared in the southwest direction.

boom--!

A humanoid creature shrouded in black mist suddenly crashed through an entire building and appeared before everyone!

A powerful black wind swept in!

Everyone was shocked.

Ye Ge stared calmly at the humanoid monster. Her slightly long hair was ruffled by the black wind whipped up by the monster, and her clothes fluttered in the strong wind.

Zero immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Protect Master!"

More than a hundred shadowy figures immediately dispersed and formed a battle formation. Twenty of them stood in front of Night Song, each brandishing their weapons and warily watching the terrifying monster.

"roar......!!!!"

The humanoid creature was enveloped in black demonic energy, with strange dark red characters and demonic patterns faintly appearing on its body. Its muscles and bones exhibited a mutated shape, typical of a demonized creature. With a roar, a terrifying aura swept towards Ye Ge and the others like a black whirlwind!

Although the monster's entire body had been demonized and mutated, it still had a human face, and its features were barely discernible.

It was Chu Wanhe!

"I go!"

Startled, Song Jie quickly hid in a nearby building. The monster before him was clearly beyond his level to fight.

"Chu Wanhe?"

A hint of doubt flickered in Ye Ge's eyes.

How did this guy get corrupted by demons?

At that moment, he saw that the demonized Chu Wanhe was holding a very conspicuous greatsword in his right hand.

It was a beautiful and exquisite black greatsword, wider than an adult's palm, as black as night, with dark red patterns, faintly exuding an eerie black aura, and a black dragon was faintly engraved on the hilt.

Ye Ge's pupils contracted.

The Demon Sword: Dark Soul Dragon?!

Isn't this the ancient demonic sword from the game "Tales of Races," the one that supposedly destroyed several ancient civilizations during the ancient era?!

In the game, Night Song remembers that this sword will not appear until version 4.79, and it will not be available to players; it will only exist in the official weapon catalog!

At that time, the dark spirit within this demonic sword controlled the minds of several bosses after version 4.79, and more than a dozen NPCs were corrupted and turned into villains. The culprit was this demonic sword!

I never expected that the Ghost Dragon Demon Sword would appear here!

"Kill! You! All!"

Chu Wanhe spoke slowly and deliberately, his face contorted in a ferocious and terrifying manner, uttering a hoarse and raspy voice.

His eyes had turned pure black, clearly indicating that he was completely controlled by the spirit within the demonic sword!

"Boom--!"

Chu Wanhe, transformed into a demonic monster, charged forward like a wild beast!

Upon seeing this, the Shadow Force immediately rushed forward, unleashing their abilities to fight the mutated monster.

"This guy......"

Song Jie, hiding in the shadows, swallowed hard: "Could it be that everyone in this city has been eaten by this monster...?"

Ye Ge remained silent, thinking to himself that it probably really was true...

If the demonic sword's spirit were to fully awaken, it would be capable of destroying an entire civilization! Not to mention a small city like Ten Thousand Swords!

Ye Ge didn't know why Chu Wanhe possessed the Demon Sword, because this part wasn't originally in the game's storyline, and the Demon Sword shouldn't have appeared here.

It seems that his appearance in this world, this unpredictable factor, caused a butterfly effect, altering the original historical plot of the game and causing the Demon Sword to appear ahead of schedule!

Rumble, rumble—!

The shadows were scattered around Chu Wanhe, cooperating tacitly.

They each swung out an iron chain; some chains bound Chu Wanhe's limbs, while others bound his body, temporarily restricting his movements.

But the demonized Chu Wanhe's combat power had increased many times over. He roared, struggled and twisted wildly, and saliva flowed from his mouth.

He roared ferociously, gripping the demonic sword with both hands, and swung it fiercely!

Black sword energy lashed out, faintly accompanied by a soul-stirring roar of a ghostly dragon!

All the chains were cut!

"boom--!"

Zero, Gray Smoke, and dozens of other Shadow members were all blasted away by the powerful demonic energy!
