100 The Advance of the Great Wave of Demons!
“The timing, the situation on the battlefield, and the order in which the poisonous substances are released… There are countless key points.
“I used to think that it was very simple to inherit Master’s mantle. But now, only Junior Brother Qin has inherited most of master’s spirit.”
Qi Yangbing could be considered to be teaching through words and actions. He had studied it for a long time, but he was only at the beginner level. He was still a long way from achieving proficiency, but it was good enough to deal with low-level martial artists.
Against martial artists of the same level or even higher, his poison was not only ineffective, but there was also a high chance that he would poison himself. He couldn’t describe this feeling to anyone.
Qin Huai, on the other hand, remained silent. As for cultivation methods, he had relied on a certain amount of talent and extraordinary effort to achieve his current achievements. He could also take it out to explore with others.
But in the path of poison… Qin Huai couldn’t be humble because of his talent. He had the magical comprehension ability of one poison being able to understand all poisons. It was as if the poison was his hands, a part of his body.
“Brother Qin is really a man of his word.”
Cai Jiulou’s voice rang out as he looked at the dazzling first place. He was smiling, but it was uglier than crying.
“Senior brother Cai, it’s not a bad thing to think about this from another perspective.”
“Oh?” Cai Jiulou glared coldly at his junior brother.
“Although Qin Huai has taken first place this month, all the demons around Pingnan have been killed. At this rate, the demon slayers list will naturally not have a second month.”
“If that’s the case, then wouldn’t Miss Shaoxiang’s promise need not be fulfilled?”
When Cai Jiulou heard this, his expression relaxed. ‘That’s right. It seems to be a good thing…’
Cai Jiulou raised his wine glass and sighed. If he was given another two months, he would definitely be able to take the crown and make Miss Shaoxiang fulfill her promise.
Bang bang bang …
On the stairs of the wooden building, a young man with his back against the wall ran up quickly.
“Urgent report from Fenshan City. Xia Fen pass has fallen. An estimated two thousand demons have crossed Fenshan and are heading straight for Pingnan!”
The young man’s words immediately caused an uproar in the entire Drunken Immortal restaurant.
“Are you kidding me? Two thousand?” Cai Jiulou was also taken aback. “Isn’t it said that demons at Fenshan City are only around eight thousand? In these two waves, we’ve already released three thousand demons! More than half of them! What is Fenshan City doing?!”
Cai Jiulou asked three questions in a row, and this was also the question that everyone in the restaurant had.
However, no one could answer his question.
The young man took a sip of wine to moisten his throat. “My friend in Fenshan City sent a message saying that there might be more than seven or eight thousand demons there. He said that the number might double…”
“Ah?”
Another wave of exclamations rose and fell in the Drunken Immortal restaurant.
“Senior Brother Cai, isn’t this a good thing? We have another chance to embrace Miss Shaoxiang’s heart and body~” The lackey smiled flatteringly.
“Bullshit!” Cai Jiulou sent the lackey flying with a kick. “Two thousand demons is a good thing?!”
He glared at them with killing intent in his eyes. Did these guys’ brains get scalded by boiling water? He didn’t even think before he spoke.
Besides, what he said just now was just for show. He wanted to give himself a way out. Anyone with a normal brain would know that after seeing Qin Huai’s lead on the demon slayers list, if it continued for another month… The first place would definitely still be Qin Huai’s.
He didn’t know where that kid got so many strange poisons from, but everything he did was effective.
The young talents from the various dojos could no longer sit still and stood up to leave.
Qin Huai, Sun Yeniu, and the other two also left quickly.
“Where did this wave of demons come from?” Qin Huai was curious.
Sun Yeniu shook his head. “I don’t know, but there are rumors saying there’s a demon valley even bigger than Great You in the far north of the northern lands. All the demons in the world originated from this.”
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
…
Changshan Dojo
Everyone was worried.
Master Sun Yuanshan and Senior Brother Rong Li gathered the disciples and apprentices to calm them down and arrange the troops. However, the results were minimal.
“Senior Brother, I would like to take half a day off. I’ll give some advice to my family.” Li Zhang knocked on Qin Huai’s door, looking a little embarrassed.
“Alright. Go quickly and come back.” Qin Huai waved his hand.
Li Zhang was not the first one. There were six or seven of his men who had gone home.
Qi Yangbing and Fang Han had many disciples and apprentices who had gone home too. There was no way to stop them.
“I don’t know where the news came from. It’s a huge blow to the morale of the army.”
Qi Yangbing and Qin Huai stood side by side, looking at the empty drill ground.
“Last month, our dojo lost more than a dozen people, which is already a lot of pressure on our junior brothers. Now, with this piece of news… even I don’t know what to do. What does Junior Brother think?” Qi Yangbing looked at Qin Huai.
“If Master doesn’t leave, I won’t leave either.” Qin Huai did not hesitate at all.
His master was still able to support him firmly even after being tempted by the other seven dojos, and he felt that he had the ability to win first place in the grand martial competition.
He was also able to think about his future wholeheartedly. No matter what, he would not let down his master’s good intentions. He would not have left his master alone to face the wave of demons.
“But I might have to go too, Senior Brother,” Qin Huai said.
He didn’t know if the Luo family knew about this, so he had to let them know quickly.
