Chapter 246 Demon Slayer
"Demon Emperor?"
Zhou Heng held the white snake in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and chuckled: "The power you feel can be felt by the Demon Emperor?"
"That's natural." White Snake thought Zhou Heng was afraid, and snorted coldly: "It's too late for you to be afraid now. A big mistake has been made. But if you can let me go, maybe I can still be beautiful in front of the Demon King." Just a few words and I’ll give you a way to survive.”
"No, I'm just a little curious." Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Since the Demon Emperor can feel the power you feel, how does the Demon Emperor feel when you turn into a human form and have fun with the third child of the Yao family?"
"You?!" White Snake was stunned when he heard this.
If she were still in human form, she would definitely jump up in shock at these words. She has been practicing for hundreds of years and has never heard such bold words. Is this human really not afraid of the Demon Emperor?
That's the Demon King!
The master of all demons in the world, it is said that he has lived for thousands of years. He was an invincible strong man who once defeated the seven demon kings alone and was not defeated!
The name of the Demon Emperor is known to everyone in the world!
Where does this young human being get the courage?
How dare you disrespect the Demon Emperor.
Can his strength, which is similar to that of the empress, give him such courage?
But the woman named Cheng herself died!
Why does this kid think he can do it? Can he be stronger than the empress?
No!
Absolutely impossible!
According to the Demon Emperor, the strength of the woman named Cheng has completely exceeded the limits of human beings.
Her strength is simply beyond what humans can achieve.
At most, this boy's strength is similar to it, and it is impossible for him to have that level of strength.
"Can the Demon King you are talking about fly?" Zhou Heng lifted up the white snake, pinched her seven inches, and chuckled: "Can he fly?"
The most obvious difference between the seventh-level martial arts and the sixth-level secret is that the sixth-level martial artist can fly, enter and exit the Qingming, and fly to the sky and escape from the earth. This alone is far superior to any seventh-level peak.
It is for this reason that the Secret Sixth Grade is invincible compared to the Seventh Grade.
In the beginning, the reason why Zhou Heng was able to kill Ma Quan at the secret sixth level was because Ma Quan was already physically and mentally injured, in a semi-disabled state, unable to fly high or fast, and because he underestimated the enemy, he killed him.
It can be said that whether one can fly is a huge dividing line between the seventh level and the secret sixth level.
"Fly?" White Snake laughed when he heard this and looked at Zhou Heng with disdain, "Humans are human beings. For you humans, flying into the sky is out of reach, but for us demons, What's so difficult about this?
"The Demon Emperor has six wings and is extremely noble. He was born in the sky and grew up in the sky. This filthy earth is not worthy of letting the Demon Emperor settle down. Do you think the Demon Emperor can fly?"
"It turns out you just flap your wings and fly." The smile on Zhou Heng's face became thicker, and he nodded gently and said: "That's a good answer. I'm very satisfied. I'll allow you to live for a few more days. However, you seem to be a bit angry. , need to calm down.”
Immediately, he threw the white snake into the far north of the cave world.
It is frozen all year round and the temperature is extremely low.
Moreover, there is only one day and one night in a year.
Now that the Far North is in the polar night, it is just the right time to let this white snake calm down, and the effect must be outstanding.
…
I originally thought I would ask for a map at Yao's house. And with the old demon White Snake showing the way, we should be able to find the location of Qijun Mountain.
But he soon realized that he had really thought too much.
He overestimated the level of map making in this world. Not to mention the accuracy of the terrain routes, even the scale was wrong, and even the relative positions of many places were wrong.
For example, Zhou Heng is crossing the river now.
On the map, there is a high mountain immediately to the north of the river, and a jungle to the south. There is also a road drawn in the middle, which passes through the middle of the jungle to block a city on the other side of the jungle.
But in fact, the north can only see thousands of miles of wilderness, not even a hill can be seen. The south is indeed a jungle, but it is full of miasma and swamps, making it impossible to pass.
The high mountains on the map are in the east direction, and are very far away from the river. It is at least a hundred miles away by visual inspection, and they are not as close as they are on the map.
"I can also understand the changes in the jungle as time changes, leading to changes in the environment, but it cannot be that even the mountains have shifted after more than ten years." Zhou Heng was speechless.
Now it seems that the accuracy of this map is really worrying. I am afraid it is not much better than walking directly in one direction by himself.
But he had no other choice but to first find the "Changlin City" marked on the map at the other end of the jungle, and go there to find out the way to Qijun Mountain.
"Human beings are stupid. They can't even remember the road. Why do we need to use this map? It's not accurate." White Snake said with disdain. She had already been taken out of the cave world by Zhou Heng.
Because, when Zhou Heng discovered that there was something wrong with the map just now, he took her out and asked about the road conditions, but this stupid snake didn't know anything about it.
Although she knew the terrain near Qijun Mountain, it was very far away from Qijun Mountain. She couldn't even figure out the southeast, northwest, let alone the directions.
"If you talk too much, I'll throw you back into that world of ice and snow." Zhou Heng sneered.
"..." White Snake fell silent for a moment and couldn't help but shiver at the same time.
Even though she had become a demon and her physique was completely different from that of a normal snake, she still felt like she might freeze to death at any time when she was thrown into an extremely dark and cold world.
However, White Snake still couldn't understand how he was thrown into that ice and snow world.
How did Zhou Heng throw her in, and where was that ice and snow world? All this seemed very incredible to her, completely beyond her comprehension.
Things at this level of the cave world are not in White Snake's cognition at all.
Therefore, she actually wondered whether Zhou Henggang had just cast an illusion, making her think that she had been thrown into a world of ice and snow, feeling the cold and darkness, but in fact it was just an illusion.
"Hmph, it's just an illusion." White Snake snorted coldly: "You can throw me in again if you want. The more times you use this illusion, the easier it will be for the Demon Emperor to crack it or even master it."
"Really?" Zhou Heng grinned and said, "I'm really curious about how he learned it."
With that said, he threw the white snake into the cave world again.
…
In the Three Thousand Mountains thousands of miles away from Zhou Heng.
The highest Shenyu Peak.
Here is the palace of the Demon King.
In the palace, the six-winged demon emperor was a handsome man, who looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing a golden robe, and the six-winged feathers on his back were as red as blood. He looked very strange.
"Zhou Heng? This little human can actually temporarily block the mental perception I put on Xiaobai?"
The Demon King's brows raised slightly, and then he sneered: "Originally, I thought your strength was somewhat similar to that of the woman named Cheng, so I wanted to tease you first and have some fun.
"Now it seems that there is no need to keep you at all.
"Qinghu, Xuanbao, go find White Snake and capture the human who captured her alive.
"If we can't capture him alive, then... we will kill him without mercy!"
…
For Zhou Heng now, walking through a swamp is very simple.
But when he walked over and reached the other end of the jungle, what worried him happened. The markings on Changlin City on the map seemed to be wrong.
Because, after walking through the jungle, Zhou Heng saw a large lake with sparkling waves and pleasant scenery. It didn't look like there was a city here at all.
Fortunately, there is a way here.
By observing the traces on the road, Zhou Heng quickly determined that Changlin City should be in the northeast direction of here. He should be able to find it by following the road.
This road is relatively flat, presumably it was an official road built before the Central Imperial Court collapsed and could still suppress evil in the world.
But as he walked, Zhou Heng realized that something was not right.
After walking more than ten miles.
The road extended into a small undulating hilly area. On both sides of the road, there were dense forests, and from time to time, the sounds of wild beasts could be heard.
These were not worth Zhou Heng's concern, but the closer he got to Changlin City, the more he felt there was something wrong with this road.
Soon, he discovered that there was a strong gloomy atmosphere on the surface of the road and in the mountains and forests on both sides.
These gloomy auras linger in the mountains and forests and condense on this road, giving people a very bad feeling.
In Zhou Heng's eyes, these gloomy auras also have a name.
Demonic spirit!
This place is full of evil spirit.
There are probably many monsters living in the mountains and forests on both sides, and there are also a large number of monsters passing by on this road.
"Haha, human being, you are about to catch a good show." White Snake laughed and said: "If my prediction is true, if we walk a little further ahead, there should be a human city."
"Are these monsters entrenched here going to attack Changlin City?" Zhou Heng frowned. He had heard White Snake bragging about monsters attacking the city along the way, but he didn't expect that it would actually be the same as last time.
In White Snake's description, monsters attacking the city are not forced by life, nor are they done as a last resort.
This is actually closer to a ritual, that is, the newly ascended demon king in an area usually leads a group of demons to attack the nearest human city.
The more abundant the final victory was, the deeper the group of demons' respect for the demon king would be, and the more stable the demon king's position would be.
However, since the empress came out of nowhere two years ago, exerting pressure on the world and making all the demon kings afraid to show up, things like monsters attacking the city have never happened again.
Nowadays, rumors are spreading all over the world. It is said that the empress has died in Qijun Mountain. Not only the little demons have appeared, but even these demon kings have dared to lead the demons to attack the city blatantly.
"Do you still want to go there?" White Snake sneered: "Do you want to see your kind being killed by our demon clan? Oh, you might as well go and see. Let you see with your own eyes how insignificant human beings are in front of demons. Fragile."
"I'm definitely going." Zhou Heng didn't get angry and chuckled: "However, I haven't heard this from you on this journey, even after being frozen. Do you really want me to kill you? "
"Then you kill it!" White Snake raised its little head.
"Don't worry, there will be a time when you die." Zhou Heng pressed the white snake's head down and said with a smile: "Maybe you can even see your respected Demon Emperor being beaten to death by me."
"Just you?" White Snake didn't believe it at all and said disdainfully: "Just dream."
"To be honest, if I hadn't asked you to show me the way near Qijun Mountain, I would have killed you long ago." Zhou Heng simply threw the white snake into the far north of the cave world.
Let her calm down again.
…
In front of Changlin City, a melee was going on.
There are rows of soldiers guarding the city wall. They are either bending bows and shooting arrows, waving torches, or pushing the ladders set up by the enemy below to climb the wall.
In the center of the city wall, stood a middle-aged man holding a golden bell and a copper coin sword in his left hand. He shook the golden bell and brandished the copper coin sword, his body glowing, and he was confronting enemies flying in the air.
Whether it was the soldiers or the middle-aged man, the enemies they were facing were not human beings.
It's a demon!
Thousands of densely packed monsters of all kinds of strange shapes gathered under Changlin City.
They ran and shouted and waved their weapons.
Very arrogant.
Some of these monsters are strong and are hitting the city gate, some are dexterously setting up ladders and trying to climb the city wall, and there are also some special types of monsters that are born with special abilities and can climb directly up the wall without ladders and using their hands and feet.
Flying in the air is a body with two wings, a human body and the head of a bird, with red eyes, full of murderous intent. This is a black eagle turned into a demon, the new demon king.
In order to consolidate his position, he led a group of demons to attack Changlin City.
It is extremely powerful.
Although he was unable to break through the middle-aged man's defense for a while, he kept up his fierce attacks, consuming the middle-aged man's strength bit by bit.
The man guarding the center of the city wall is the manager of Changlin City. He is also a demon subduer from the Wang family, named Wang He.
The power of the demon subduer comes from the bloodline inherited by himself. On weekdays, the bloodline will produce a stream of pure energy, which can be used to use magic weapons and perform various spells.
The recovery speed of this Qing Qi is extremely slow, so during battle, it is actually just consuming the stock of Qing Qi. Once the Qing Qi is used up, the demon slayer's strength will be greatly reduced.
What Black Eagle is waiting for is when Wang He's Qing Qi is exhausted.
"Humans, why bother struggling? Your defeat is inevitable. Wouldn't it be better to die easily?"
The black eagle flew in the air, high up, looking down at Wang He, "Your power will soon be exhausted. I will kill you effortlessly when the time comes. You are destined to die, so why resist?"
"You are bound to lose, so why don't you resist?" Wang He raised his head suddenly, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and shouted sternly: "If weaklings were willing to fall into the dust, then there would be no demon subduers in the world!
"Monster, even if I run out of pure energy, I still have this bloodline. Even if I burn the bloodline and exhaust everything, I will still stop you. This is the meaning of the existence of the demon subduer!"
