Chapter 186: Chapter 111: A Great Demon Enters the County, A Heaven-Toppling Disaster; The Boss Raises His Blade, Protects the People, and Slays Until Demon Heads Roll

Newborn Great Demon!

It was a title reserved exclusively for demons who had undergone a complete metamorphosis, shattering the thousand-year bottleneck in their Dao Practice. With a Demon Pill as their foundation, they could absorb and expel Demon Qi to nourish their physical bodies, achieving a true rebirth.

In the context of the Human Immortal Martial Dao...

...they were on par with those Martial Artists who had earned the title of ’Grandmaster’!

’If this leopard-headed Great Demon wanted to swat us dead, wouldn’t it be as easy as lifting a hand!?’

In the blink of an eye, as the first County Soldier was cut down, the others’ faces paled. Before they could even raise their crossbows, they heard a SWISH SWISH. A blurry afterimage flickered past, and a sudden chill seized their hearts.

Immediately, they saw a figure with ape-like long arms, wearing a straw rain cape and hat. With a clap of his hands that boomed like thunder, he moved like a phantom. In a single breath, he leaped back and forth, treating the county wall as if it were nothing, smashing heads like watermelons.

A distant lookout, watching his comrades fall one after another, was scared witless. He immediately turned tail and fled.

However, a pale-faced youth whose cheeks were covered in red patterns flicked out a forked tongue. From over a hundred feet away, he made a pinching motion with his hand.

It was as if he had seized the fleeing County Soldier by the neck. With a gentle twist, blood stained the snow, and a deathly silence fell once more.

WHOOSH...

The cold wind blew, bone-chilling.

The servants surrounding the carriage were scared witless, having no idea what on earth these ’unknown’ figures their young master had brought along truly were.

And beside the coffin...

The Three Great Dragons of West Street...

’Tomb Tiger’ Yang Daohan, ’Mad Lion’ Zhang Liechen, and ’Cangying’ Xu Xin.

The three men and their subordinates watched with wary expressions as the three figures suddenly erupted, revealing themselves as Newborn Great Demons.

When they heard Young Master Huang from the Prefecture City’s medicine shop speak, they shot him a look as if he were a complete ’idiot’.

Speaking of this young master, he truly had nothing better to do with his time!

He had actually made a deal with Wei Changjiao, the Great General Altar Master who worships the Spirit Summoning and Saint Manifesting General.

For days, he had been bringing in batch after batch of Central Yellow Sect people, helping them get settled in the County.

This perfectly solved the problem their Altar Master had been agonizing over: how to secretly infiltrate his people into Anning County, bypass inspections, and spread their Divine Teachings.

One could say that for the impending ’Anning Chaos’...

...for the rioting Demon Fiends, the Central Yellow Sect’s proselytizing, the planned rebellion to overthrow the Great Xuan Government, and the harvesting of the common folk’s Incense and Candlelight...

...this young master’s ’vanguard’s merit’ was absolutely undeniable!

And now that the situation was upon them, he was the only one still completely in the dark.

To be fair, the things he had been promised would still be delivered. It was just that... a great deal of information had been deliberately concealed from him.

"Heh."

The figure in the straw rain cape and hat—the one like a long-armed ape, covered in white fur and standing over ten feet tall—suddenly leaped from the city wall. He crashed down beside the carriage, making it rock violently.

He thrust a hand through the carriage window and yanked Huang Xiuwen out.

Ignoring the old servant who had donned his Immortal Robe and whose Qi and Blood now blazed like a furnace, the creature sent him flying with a single slap. Then, looking at the teeth-chattering Huang the Seventh Young Master, it grinned.

"I almost forgot about you, ’Young Master’."

"We’ve been playing house with you this whole trip... According to the customs of your great clans, I suppose it’s time for proper introductions."

"So let me make things clear."

"We are not Believers of the Central Yellow Sect. We... hail from the Earth Dragon Cave. We are the chieftains of the Long-armed White Ape, the Red-striped Python, and the Thunder Roaring Leopard clans."

"Before this, we hadn’t broken through our bottlenecks, so we dared not claim any grand titles."

"But..."

"From now on, you will address us as—"

"The White Ape Gorge Master, the Thunder Roaring Leopard Lord, and the Red Python Demon Lord!"

The words had barely faded when dark clouds seemed to churn within the falling snow, surging toward the heavens.

Long-armed apes scrambling madly on all fours, massive Red-striped Pythons dozens of feet long, and Thunder Roaring Leopards crackling with purple lightning...

...formed a demonic tide. Hundreds, even thousands of them, swarmed from all directions!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The White Ape Gorge Master roared with laughter and casually tossed the dumbfounded Huang Xiuwen aside.

"Young Master, what gives you the right to have us carry your carriage?"

"Aren’t you afraid it’ll shorten your lifespan!"

He slammed his fists into the Anning County wall again and again, sending bricks and stone crashing down. His ten-foot-tall frame was like an iron watchtower, immense and unyielding!

As the wall collapsed, demons with blood-red eyes poured through the breach into the icy landscape...

The White Ape Gorge Master licked his lips.

"That Wei Changjiao from the Grand General Altar, representing the Central Yellow General behind him, made a deal with us. We’re to set the stage and put on a play."

"It was the perfect opportunity to let my boys come down from the mountain paths and have some fun in the city."

"Afterward, his Central Yellow Sect Members can swoop in like divine soldiers from the heavens, save everyone from their suffering, and reap the Incense and Candlelight from the new Believers."

"Hmph. We get our share of the benefits, of course. But my Earth Dragon Cave produced three Newborn Great Demons. And that Wei Changjiao... I hear he has plenty of powerful ’brothers’ and the backing of the entire Central Yellow Sect..."

"But when it comes down to it, he’s just a Three Limits Martial Artist. A promising one, sure, but if it weren’t for the Demon Monarch of Cloud Dragon Bay who guided our breakthroughs, we’d never have bothered putting on this act for him."

"Seriously, why is it that every time these Central Yellow Sect people want to play the part of a Manifested Saint saving the masses, we demons have to be the ones to play the foil? Why do we always have to be the irrational, bloodthirsty ones?"

The White Ape Gorge Master sighed, muttering to himself before glancing at the trembling Huang Xiuwen.

"You’re a lucky one, Young Master. Born into a good family. Wei Changjiao said not to kill you."

"So just stay here and watch the show..."

He spread his arms wide, face tilted into the wind and snow. His expression was ecstatic, as if he were welcoming the highlight of his demonic life.
