Chapter 1041 – Demon Commander
It was said that those who weren’t far-sighted would soon have immediate worries…these words were negative and also unlucky, but there was some truth to them. It was an excellent strategy to always be prepared for danger, even in times of peace. And now that Qin Yu was in the abyss, he felt that it was necessary to maintain as many preparations as possible.
When he arrived at Great Deer City he had already completed plans for the worst possible situation. For instance, if Feature’s existence was discovered by the abyssal demons…the Merry Forest was an escape route that Qin Yu had found for himself.
This was a dark and gloomy place that was lawless and chaotic. Countless sins were committed here every day. To him, this was the best choice. As long as he could flee here, he might have a chance to escape whatever tribulation was chasing him.
Because of this, Qin Yu learned as much about the Merry Forest as he could. So when he heard the horned python clan youth speak to him, his eyes sparkled and he revealed a look of surprise. “You can buy your own life in the Merry Forest?”
The horned python clan youth was expressionless. “I’m in a good mood today.”
Qin Yu glanced at him and slowly shook his head. “Then I’ll have to disappoint you and your good mood. There’s nothing on me that I can give to you.”
The horned python clan youth frowned, “You want to die?”
“Of course not.” Qin Yu smiled. “Although I have lived for a considerable period of time, I’m still far away from being hopeless and tired of living. So I have to live; I definitely have to live.”
The horned python clan youth’s eyes twitched, as if he was reaching the end of his patience. After several breaths of silence he lifted a hand and pointed a finger. “The exit is there. Leave!”
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Then, I’ll have to thank you.” He glanced at the scattered corpses on the ground and thought it was a pity. He was originally thinking of taking advantage of these abyssal demons and making another fortune for himself.
He didn’t care about demon crystals and things like that, but if Feature wanted to become a demonic refining master, then that was an occupation that burnt money like a fever dream. In that case, it was best to be armed with money at all times. But now it seemed that his plan had failed…whatever, he would find another solution later.
He turned to leave. But, Qin Yu was doomed to not be able to leave the Merry Forest so easily today. As he turned around, he could hear someone cackling out loud, “Blacklight, this person intentionally provoked trouble and fled into my Merry Forest. If he leaves so easily, won’t we just be made a joke of?”
With a flapping sound, the surrounding demons quickly dispersed. A woman walked forward, bringing several others with her. She had a tall figure, comparable to that of ordinary male demons. Her figure was explosive and she wore a revealing dress.
Now, as her light purple eyes fell on the horned python youth, her lips lifted in a taunting smile.
Blacklight furrowed his eyebrows before stretching them back out. “This region is under my control. I will handle things how I want to. Firefly, mind your own business!”
“The master has given me patrol duties so there is nothing in the entire Merry Forest that I cannot manage…or, Blacklight, do you believe yourself so strong that you can now question the master’s orders?” Firefly’s smile widened.
Blacklight had a calm expression, unmoved by her words. “You don’t have the qualifications to question my loyalty towards the master.”
“Good. Then I will personally manage this person who dared to cause trouble and then flee into my Merry Forest.” Firefly covered her mouth and laughed. She looked at Qin Yu and said, “Go, cut off his head and hang it at the entrance. Let everyone know how stupid it is to provoke our Merry Forest.”
“Yes, miss!” A demon behind her bowed. He stepped forward and stared at Qin Yu. His eyes immediately turned red, “Your scent is quite good. I will taste your flesh and blood, and if the flavor is decent, I will eat you!”
The abyssal demon race had a wisdom and intelligence no less than that of humans. But, they had various powerful demon bloodlines flowing within them, and they also originated from the same source as abyssal demon beasts.
Due to the influence of their demon bloodlines, they were naturally predisposed to being cruel and bloodthirsty. Swallowing and eating powerful enemies to strengthen themselves was a common occurrence.
So this demon wasn’t trying to scare or threaten Qin Yu, but was actually thinking it. Qin Yu naturally knew this. He frowned, a cold chill gushing out from his heart.
Because his heart of the abyss had absorbed a part of the abyss’ source, his current state was that of a genuine abyssal demon. But, he still loathed and detested these bloodthirsty methods.
Qin Yu didn’t want to create any issues so he was willing to leave like this. But since the people of the Merry Forest weren’t willing to let him go, he would take a good look at how much strength was hidden in this dark region of Great Deer City.
Bang –
The ground cracked. The abyssal demon with crimson eyes grinned and turned into a shadow as he threw himself forward. Before he arrived, a cruel aura shrouded the mind. If one’s will wasn’t strong they would definitely be affected. Their heart would fill with panic and fear and their strength would be drastically reduced.
The demon raised an arm and punched out. Abyssal energy surged on the surface of the giant fist as it tore through the air. The complexions of the surrounding abyssal demons changed.
This strength was near the level of a Demon General. It was said that Miss Firefly’s strength was deep and she had numerous powerhouses as her subordinates. Now that they saw it for themselves, they knew it was true. No wonder the master held her in such high regard!
“Humph! Bitterfang’s demon breaking power is becoming increasingly astonishing with every day. Even a Demon General cannot easily withstand such an all-out attack!”
“Killing this brat is as easy as turning a hand. I think this punch is going to pierce his chest and grab his heart!”
“Hehe, that is Bitterfang’s specialty. To break through someone’s chest, take their heart, and then eat it up!”
“Bitterfang, be careful and don’t destroy his head! The miss still needs to hang it at the entrance!”
Firefly coldly sneered. She glanced at Blacklight. The two of them were the most powerful subordinates of the master, so competition between them was inevitable. They had many conflicts behind the scenes.
Killing this person would tarnish Blacklight’s honor and allow her to win the occupying side once again. It would teach everyone in the Merry Forest just which side was better to choose.
But when she glanced at Blacklight’s face, she frowned. This was because she discovered that Blacklight’s expression was too calm, as if he didn’t care about what was happening in front of him.
What was going on here?
Before Firefly could think further, there was a loud explosion followed by the sound of breaking bones. Her heart shrank and she looked up to see a giant shadow come flying over. Blood spurted out from every orifice of his face, mixed with fragments of flesh.
Bang –
The shadow crashed into the ground and blasted open a deep pit. Looking down, one could see Bitterfang lying at the bottom of the pit, barely breathing. The scene fell deathly silent. Numerous demons widened their eyes with panic and horror. They clearly hadn’t expected that this would be the result.
Blacklight’s pupils shrank. In that instant just now, he had barely seen Qin Yu attack. With just one strike, without any strength or preparations, he had casually punched out a fist and sent Bitterfang tumbling backwards.
He glanced at the pit in the ground and determined that Bitterfang was more or less dead. His expression became even more serious…this person’s strength was far higher than he first estimated.
He was absolutely at the Demon General level, and his strength was tyrannical!
Firefly looked away from Blackwind, her eyes freezing over. For her to have her current status as a demon woman, disregarding her own strength, she was sufficiently intelligent. She had already realized what was happening.
Blacklight had likely noticed that this demon wasn’t easy to provoke and so he decided to let him go. As for herself, she hadn’t known about this. She thought she had found a way to suppress Blacklight’s arrogance but had instead fallen into a pit of her own making.
Or perhaps Blacklight had already sensed her arrival and intentionally led her into this trap…no matter what the truth was, that was no longer important. The key was that if Firefly couldn’t kill this demon in front of her, her face would sweep the floor!
This was absolutely unacceptable.
She took a deep breath and pressed down with her hand. In the pit, Bitterfang’s neck cracked. His body twitched a few times before he fell completely silent.
“Your injuries are too heavy and I have no means of saving you. But Bitterfang, rest assured that I will kill this person to take revenge for you!”
Behind her, her followers roared again and again, brutality in their eyes. Their suppressed bravado began to burn once again.
In the abyss, slaughter and killing happened all the time. They were all accustomed to seeing death. Since there was no cure for Bitterfang, living was meaningless. He might as well die and free himself from this hell.
In any case, Miss Firefly said that she would avenge Bitterfang. Those that dared to kill them would eventually die an even more pitiful death!
At this time, Blacklight spoke up. “Firefly, you should give up here and leave with your followers.”
Firefly was silent for a moment. Then, she laughed out loud, her chest heaving up and down. “I just personally killed my close subordinate and now you want me to leave? Blacklight, do you really think I would agree with this?”
Blacklight frowned. He looked at her deeply and said, “I am just doing my duty as one of the master’s subordinates. Since you won’t listen to my advice, then anything else that happens from here on out has nothing to do with me.”
Firefly’s eyes shined and her cheeks flushed red. She whispered, “Of course. I will be responsible for everything that happens today.” She looked at Qin Yu and stepped forward, “Indeed, I underestimated you. But if I can kill a formidable Demon General and steal your bloodline, perhaps I will be able to break through my current limits.”
An invisible aura was released from her body and instantly flooded every inch of the surrounding space. The abyssal demons in the area all had dull expressions on their faces. Then, they started to smile, as if they had fallen into an incomparably wonderful dream.
Blacklight furrowed his eyebrows. He took several steps back, avoiding being covered by this aura. Besides him, only the subordinates that she brought here kept their heads lowered and didn’t dare to look at her. Only like this could they barely resist the pull on their minds.
However, their bodies still shivered and beads of sweat covered their foreheads. One could see how difficult it was for them to resist this.
The abyssal Siren Clan. In the legends, it was said that the royal bloodline of the Nightmare Clan flowed in their veins and they had a formidable ability to control the minds of others.
In the vast and boundless abyssal sea, a siren was synonymous with success. Anyone they targeted would eventually vanish into the endless sea. Only after hundreds or thousands of years would they have the possibility of being found by others.
The giant ships that sank to the bottom of the sea, completely preserved but utterly empty, had helped them achieve their current terrifying reputation!
As for Firefly, she was the product of a bloodline union between some abyssal species and a siren. She had obtained the ability of the sirens to control minds and could also break free from the abyssal sea and survive on land.
Of course, this was an absolute secret within the Merry Forest. Blacklight had only inadvertently discovered this. As a result, he had always dreaded Firefly. While they had many conflicts behind the scenes, he patiently endured it and didn’t allow anything to erupt into public view.
This was because Blacklight wasn’t confident he could resist the abilities of a siren.
The strength of the abyssal tribes was established on the foundation of their bloodlines. Besides a small number of tribes, most were in an inherently weak position when facing the abilities of a siren.
In addition to their demon bloodlines influencing their minds, it was even easier for them to fall under mental control.
A Demon General was already considered a powerhouse in the abyss. Yet, he wasn’t able to get the upper hand when facing Firefly. This was because besides her mind controlling abilities, she herself was also a formidable Demon General level existence.
Of course, because most of her strength came from plundering the power of others, her strength was all mixed up. She could only be considered to be at the very bottom of Demon Generals.
But no matter how low she was, she was still a Demon General. If a person’s mind was controlled by the enemy, then unless their strength reached the Demon Commander level and they could protect their body with abyssal energy, they would die without a doubt.
