Chapter 852 The Trail of the Demon Generals
After reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, Qin Haodong was currently invincible. He cut General Golden Leaf’s steel fork into pieces with his Xuan Yuan Sword.
General Golden Leaf turned pale with fright. Before he could do anything to protect himself, one of his arms had been cut off.
At the same time, Khorkina, who had reached the Divine Realm grabbed General Silver Leaf as if he was a child and then bit his neck. Her sharp teeth instantly broke through his defense.
“D*mn it, the blood of your Alien Demons tastes bad.”
Khorkina spat angrily, broke General Silver Leaf’s neck, and then threw his body to the ground.
General Earth Leaf pounced toward Lev, the Wolf King, trying to cut him in half with his two-meter-long machete.
With a wild roar, Lev grabbed the edge of the sharp machete and then smashed it effortlessly.
General Earth Leaf was greatly shocked. He believed that the four of them would be able to control this place, but he hadn’t expected these human beings to be so powerful.
In a panic, he turned around and ran away. Lev did not give him any chance at all and punched him in the back.
General Earth Leaf was sent flying. He spewed out blood in midair, then ran into a nearby rock and laid there, half dead.
By comparison, General Fiery Leaf was killed in a more decent manner.
Being recognized by the Angel Heart, the holy weapon of the Divine Court, Kathryn already had infinite Holy Force. With the help of the other two holy weapons, the Crown of God and God’s Attachment, she was as powerful as the Divine Realm masters now.
General Fiery Leaf held a ten-foot-long spear and rushed at Kathryn fiercely.
With a gentle stroke of God’s Attachment, Kathryn created a huge light shield in front of herself.
The shield of light, though composed of pure Holy Force, was so solid and powerful that General Fiery Leaf’s lance was blocked amid a piercing noise and he could not move forward.
Although this shield of light had cost her an enormous amount of Holy Force, the Crown of God flashed and instantly replenished her energy.
That was the importance of the holy weapon. With the Crown of God, she had endless Holy Force.
Kathryn waved her God’s Attachment once again and then a huge light shield covered General Fiery Leaf.
Although the Alien Demons were from another space, they were also dark creatures and the Holy Force immediately broke their defense. General Fiery Leaf was purified before he could even scream.
Seeing his three companions dying so miserably, General Golden Leaf was scared out of his wits and turned to run.
But as soon as he turned his head, he spotted a huge, Three-legged Golden Toad standing behind him. Its huge tongue, like a flexible python, wrapped around his waist and it tried to swallow him.
Seriously injured, General Golden Leaf was shocked and frightened at this moment. He froze with terror and was finally eaten by the Three-legged Golden Toad.
At the sight of the four demon generals, the Three-legged Golden Toad in the Spirit Beast Pouch became extremely excited. It kept asking Qin Haodong to let it out.
After swallowing General Golden Leaf, the Three-legged Golden Toad suddenly changed. Its black body sparkled.
As its master, Qin Haodong could feel that the toad was a little stronger than before. It seemed that the Alien Demons were the best tonic for the Three-legged Golden Toad. They could actually help it improve.
General Golden Leaf did not sate the toad’s appetite. It then swallowed General Silver Leaf lying beside it.
The toad then leaped and tried to eat General Earth Leaf.
“Stop it! He’s useful to us!”
Qin Haodong immediately stopped the Three-legged Golden Toad. He was the only Alien Demon alive, so it would be a pity if the toad swallowed it.
The Three-legged Golden Toad followed Qin’s order and set down its delicious food reluctantly. It kept looking at Qin Haodong covetously. The toad would immediately eat General Earth Leaf the moment it got Qin’s approval.
All those present were shocked. No one knew where this big golden toad came from and they were all watching from far away.
Having been punched by Lev, General Earth Leaf was severely injured. But with his great defense power, he did not die immediately. However, the Three-legged Golden Toad’s behavior had scared him out of his wits.
Qin Haodong forced him up and asked, “Answer my questions honestly. You will know the consequences of lying to me.”
Since it was the first time he had come into contact with the Alien Demon, and this was the only one alive, Qin did not use his Mind-manipulating skill. He would get nothing if this demon general got killed.
General Earth Leaf glanced at the Three-legged Golden Toad, which was staring at him greedily, and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes. I’ll tell you everything and I dare not lie to you. Please don’t let the toad eat me.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Tell me, where is the headquarters of your Alien Demons?”
“I don’t know.” Seeing that Qin Haodong was dissatisfied, he quickly explained, “I’m not lying to you. Although I am an Alien Demon, I have always been in the Sun-never-set Empire and have never been to the headquarters.”
“No one is allowed to go to headquarters except the royal family.”
Qin Haodong frowned. It seemed that the Sun-never-set Empire mentioned by Klinsmann was just a branch of the Alien Demons, not their headquarters.
Qin Haodong continued, “Is Angel Pharmaceutical under your branch’s jurisdiction?”
“That’s right. They are indeed under our command.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Why did you ask Angel Pharmaceutical to develop the highly lethal virus?”
“Well…”
General Earth Leaf hesitated for a moment. Clearly, this was a crucial question.
“Why? You don’t wish to answer?”
As if sensing its master’s anger, the Three-legged Golden Toad immediately licked General Earth Leaf’s face.
“I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you right now!”
General Earth Leaf explained, “Alien Demon Emperor wants to reopen the channel between the human and the Alien Demon world, which requires a lot of souls. That’s why he asked us to create a highly lethal virus and make sure that there’s no cure for it.”
“When it’s necessary, we can kill humans on a large scale to get their souls.”
Qin Haodong’s face immediately darkened. If the channel was re-opened, it would be a catastrophe for human beings. They had to stop it.
“How will the Alien Demon Emperor re-open the channel?”
“I don’t know. I’m just a demon general. I’ve told you everything I know.”
Qin Haodong asked again, “Where is the channel?”
General Earth Leaf shook his head again. “The location of the channel is a secret and only the Alien Demon Emperor knows where it is.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Aren’t you from the Demon World?”
General Earth Leaf said, “How is this possible? The average lifespan of our Alien Demons is only about 200 years. I’m only 130 years old, and I was born on the earth.”
“It was getting more and more difficult for us to survive on Earth these years, and our birth rate also got lower. We’re not strong enough to dominate the human society.”
“That’s why Alien Demon Emperor is in a hurry to open the channel again and bring our clansmen back to Earth.”
Qin Haodong asked, “How’s the strength of your Alien Demons? How many masters are there at your level? Do you know how strong the Alien Demon Emperor is?”
General Earth Leaf said, “There are about a thousand or so of us now. There are 12 demon generals who are at the same level as me.”
“Alien Demon Emperor’s cultivation is beyond our imagination. We don’t know exactly what level he has reached.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Besides the Alien Demon Emperor, are there any other masters stronger than you?”
General Earth Leaf said, “There are experts in the royal family. Some are on par with us, while the others are a bit stronger. We don’t know the exact number.”
Qin Haodong thought for a moment and asked again, “Do you have a branch in Huaxia? Are there any Alien Demons who have turned into human beings there?”
General Earth Leaf said, “Maybe. After all, Huaxia is the main target of our attack. There are so many people there that it is easier to collect souls to open the channel. But that’s just my guess. I don’t know the specific details.”
Qin Haodong frowned. Although they just caught a high-level demon general this time, he still managed to get some valuable information. But something remained unknown.
Qin asked again, “Where were you born? Where are the rest of the Alien Demons?”
General Earth Leaf said, “We were born underground, so we don’t know where it is.
“When we were old enough to fight, the regulator would send us out. But we are not allowed to come back, so no one knows where the headquarters is.”
Qin Haodong asked a few more questions, but he still did not get any useful information. It seemed that the Alien Demon Emperor was also wary of his subordinates and didn’t tell them too much information.
“Are you telling the truth?”
Seeing that he had enough information, Qin Haodong used the Mind-manipulating skill on the demon general.
“I…”
Blood oozed from General Earth Leaf’s eyes, nose, and mouth. He was dead.
As he expected, the Alien Demons were different from the human beings and they could not bear the influence of the Mind-manipulating skill.
Qin Haodong waved his hand, and the golden toad immediately swallowed General Earth Leaf.
Those who didn’t belong to his clan definitely had ulterior motives. He wouldn’t show any mercy to such a race, who were eager to wipe out human beings.
Having eaten three Alien Demon generals, the Three-legged Golden Toad shone even more brightly. It jumped back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.
Qin Haodong scanned it with his Spirit and found that the toad had gone into a deep sleep after returning to the pouch. It seemed that it had gained enough energy and was about to reach the next stage.
Then Qin Haodong looked at Khorkina and said, “From now on, you’ll be the chancellor of the Dark Parliament and Lev will help you.
“But remember, you’re not allowed to fight against the Divine Court anymore. We need to work together against the Alien Demons.”
“Got it, master.”
Khorkina and Lev bowed to Qin together.
“Go back with your men and try your best to find the headquarters of the Alien Demons.”
“Yes sir.”
The two left with the dark creatures.
Qin Haodong turned to Kathryn, “You’d better go back to the Divine Court with your men first. I’ll help you find some Pontifex Maximus and Paladins.”
He had just seen that the Holy Force could restrain the Alien Demon. In future battles against the enemy, the Divine Court would play a crucial role.
Now that Kathryn was the Divine King, the other Pontifex Maximus and Paladins must also be under his control. That was the fastest way to increase their cultivation.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you in the Holy City!”
Kathryn knew that the top priority was to reorganize the Divine Court, so she went back with the rest of the staff.
