Chapter 221: Chapter 122: Token Acquired

At this thought, he no longer hesitated. A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes as he stepped toward the cliff.

Just then, a faint voice sounded by his ear.

"Little Mountain God, don’t move. My master, the Demon General, wishes to see you."

"Who?!"

Yu Duchuan looked back in horror. His mind had been so focused on Yu Sheng that he hadn’t noticed anyone approaching.

Not far away, a tall young woman clad in Profound Armor strode toward him.

Her expression was cold, and the light of a sword swirled in her eyes.

And behind her, figures emerged one after another—ten in total—and quietly surrounded the finely dressed young man.

"..."

Yu Duchuan’s pupils contracted.

’Demon Generals... They’re all Demon Generals!’

’Among them are even a few in Late-stage Core Formation, their Cultivation no weaker than my own.’

’And from what that Female Demon said, this group of Demon Generals isn’t even all of them.’

’They’re surrounding me but not attacking... They’re waiting for an even stronger Great Demon!’

"Who is your Demon General?" Yu Duchuan swallowed nervously. The Group of Demons had specifically cornered him. ’Could it be they want to discuss something with me?’

’Although I’ve always looked down on these Demons...’

’But I have to bow to the circumstances.’

’I’ll swallow my pride for now, play along, and look for an opportunity to act later.’

Hearing this, Xie Yutang raised an eyebrow slightly and said coolly, "My master is called Moon-Devouring."

The moment he heard that name.

Yu Duchuan’s expression changed drastically, and he instantly abandoned his earlier plan.

Moon-Devouring’s vicious reputation had long given him sleepless nights.

’Other Demons might want to hold me hostage to get something, but with a fiend like that, he’ll definitely kill me without a second thought.’

His gaze swept over the Golden Bear Demon General.

’Since Yu Sheng could so easily injure and repel him, maybe this group of Demons are all just paper tigers.’

At this thought, he abruptly flicked his sleeve, attempting to cast a ray of Spiritual Light.

"..."

The Qingming Demon General casually shattered the Spiritual Light and gave him a slightly odd look.

’She knew Immortal Descendants were arrogant, but she hadn’t expected this one to be arrogant to the point of brainlessness.’

’The two of them were in the same realm.’

’Even if he was much stronger than her, he couldn’t possibly think such a half-hearted attack would accomplish anything.’

"Tch."

The Golden Bear suddenly realized something and couldn’t help but let out a derisive laugh.

’Yu Sheng has the Ten Great Demon Generals at her back. You have nothing but a cliff at yours. You think you deserve the same treatment?’

"Hah!"

Yu Duchuan’s breathing grew heavy. The strange looks from the demons made his face burn with humiliation.

’These wretched beasts... how dare they look at me like that.’

He slowly clenched his fists, feathers sprouting from his skin, and said coldly, "A warrior can be killed, but not disgraced!"

Suddenly, the Group of Demons parted ways.

Yu Duchuan froze, an incredibly familiar face reflected in his eyes.

The young man wore shattered, ferocious Demon Armor that revealed his toned midsection. Yet, he didn’t look disheveled in the slightest; instead, it only enhanced his casual yet menacing aura.

He strode through the Group of Demons and casually tossed two corpses to the ground.

His forearms were stained with a glaring, scarlet blood.

As for the bodies on the ground, they were Yu Duchuan’s only two remaining Core Formation Disciples—his last hope.

The auras on the Jade Disc had long since vanished completely.

But none of this captured the Immortal Descendant’s attention.

He stared intently at that fair, handsome face, his mouth going dry and the world seeming to spin. "Lin Shu..."

’The Demon I’ve been hunting for so long... The one for whom I sacrificed the lives of hundreds from the Demon-slaying Bureau.’

’He was right under my nose from the very beginning.’

This sense of absurdity made Yu Duchuan tremble with rage, and his voice grew hoarse. "It was you. It’s always been you harming me! You want Yu Sheng to replace me!"

"What did he just say?"

Lin Shu glanced at the Profound Armor Maiden.

Thanks to his Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol Divine Technique, he hadn’t been able to resist earning an extra three hundred Sin Coins on the way over.

"He said, ’A warrior can be killed, but not disgraced,’" Xie Yutang replied earnestly.

"..."

Lin Shu looked away from her and back at the City Lord.

Then, he gave a slight nod and casually uttered a single word.

"Kill."

His tone was calm, not particularly murderous.

But the instant the word left his lips, Yu Duchuan shot into the air, his face filled with terror.

At the same time, surging with Demon Power, more than ten terrifyingly powerful Formulas shot out in unison.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The enormous Cyan Simurgh beat its wings to rise, but before it could even reach the sky, it was completely engulfed by Spiritual Light.

"Whew."

’I’m used to fighting many opponents at once,’ Lin Shu thought. ’It’s rare to be on the side that’s ganging up on someone.’

’Immortal Descendants have incredibly resilient life force; killing them is too time-consuming.’

’I have urgent business later, so the faster this is over, the better.’

"SCREEE!"

The Wind-Riding Cyan Simurgh broke free from the Spiritual Light, Feathers scattering as its body, now covered in wounds, emerged.

It let out a sharp, mournful cry. The flesh torn open by the Formulas made it experience agonizing, heart-piercing pain for the very first time.

But a hint of relief also appeared in the Cyan Simurgh’s eyes.

’This Immortal Body’s Physique is even tougher than I imagined. If I can just withstand two more volleys, at most, I’ll have a chance to escape.’

’Even though this group of Demon Generals all know Light Body Techniques, and I haven’t yet learned Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol, these wings aren’t just for show. In this mountain range, it will still be hard for the demons to catch me.’

At this thought, Yu Duchuan looked back fiercely toward the cliff. "Lin Shu, just you wait!"

’As long as I can get back to the Yu Family...’

’No, I don’t even need to make it back to the Yu Family. As long as I can escape to any prefecture, that master and disciple are as good as dead!’

"Where are you looking?"

The indifferent voice sounded right by its ear. The Cyan Simurgh froze, horrified to discover that Lin Shu was no longer on the cliff.

Instead, that group of Demons was looking behind it with curiosity.
