Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 101: Terrifying Name!

Since the person he met today could not be the person he remembered, North Star was not interested in Li Yuanqing.

At most, they would wait for ten minutes. When the time was up, everyone in the team would leave this place.

When everyone was resting, Black Iron began to patrol the surroundings as usual.

This was the Land of War. When they rested here, their lives would be in danger at any time. Therefore, when they were resting, the team would arrange for people to patrol the area to ensure the safety of the others.

This time the patrol on guard was Black Iron. He was the strongest martial artist other than North Star and had very rich combat experience. But even so, he did not sense anything approaching them.

Li Yuanqing was a little speechless. These twenty to thirty people said that they were training and tracking the demons, but they could not sense anything approaching them. Why were they so obtuse? Were they planning to die in the Land of War?

Some martial artists began to close their eyes and rest. Some began to take the time to nap, and some took out water and food they carried with them to replenish their strength.

One of them took out a large piece of dried beef. Before he could put it into his mouth, he saw Li Yuanqing’s figure flash. When the large piece of beef landed in Li Yuanqing’s mouth, what made him furious was that he did not eat it. Instead, he threw the beef in one direction.

The martial artist who was robbed was furious. He raised his leg and wanted to kick Li Yuanqing. Unfortunately, Li Yuanqing was a little fast.

That person kicked the air and saw Li Yuanqing smiling at him mockingly, as if he was mocking him. Even if he threw away his food, what could he do?

“North Star, this newcomer is courting death. Don’t blame me. I’ll teach him a lesson. When we reach a safe place, we’ll just chase him out…” The martial artist who had his beef snatched said angrily. Although their team forbade killing, it was still fine to teach him a lesson.

Therefore, that person rushed towards Li Yuanqing and prepared to catch him and throw him out like an eagle catching a chick. In his opinion, since Li Yuanqing dared to throw his beef, then he would throw him out like how he threw the beef just now.

Unfortunately, when this martial artist rushed to Li Yuanqing’s side, he did not even touch his clothes. However, Li Yuanqing did not go far. He sneered at the martial artist more than ten meters in front of him.

That mocking smile made this martial artist furious.

North Star and Black Iron had good intentions. They were afraid that Li Yuanqing would be attacked by demons alone, so they brought him along. This young man was not sensible. Not only did he not know how to be grateful, he even snatched his food. He could not tolerate it anymore.

The martial artist rushed out again but still missed. Li Yuanqing was twenty to thirty meters away from him.

The martial artist did not believe it and rushed forward again. Many martial artists resting over there did not take it seriously. In any case, their companion knew his limits. He had already said that he would not take Li Yuanqing’s life. At most, he would teach the newcomer a lesson.

This was nothing in a dangerous Land of War.

Therefore, the remaining dozens of martial artists were all resting. No one paid attention to them. Unknowingly, Li Yuanqing and that martial artist were already one to two hundred meters away from where they were resting.

Black Iron, who was on guard, frowned and looked at Li Yuanqing unhappily. He could naturally tell that Li Yuanqing was clearly teasing that martial artist. The newcomer really didn’t know what was good for him. When they reached a safe place, they could just send him away. It was better not to lower himself to his level.

After Black Iron made up his mind to send Li Yuanqing away, a martial artist’s scream suddenly sounded. That sound was like the sound of a chicken being strangled when it was being killed. The sound stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement after it was halfway out.

“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”

Black Iron, who was already on guard, felt his blood run cold. He roared angrily at the martial artists who were resting and made an alarm. Then, he and North Star were charging towards the place where the sound came from like two meteors.

The remaining martial artists who were resting quickly stood up, picked up their weapons, and followed behind North Star and Black Iron.

In the Land of War, even if they encountered a daily-level demon, they would have to coordinate and charge forward together. Otherwise, their companions’ lives would be in danger. They were all from the Martial Arts Academy in the Northern Kingdom. They were often together and had a life-and-death relationship. Therefore, no one retreated.

However, when these people rushed up, they realized that a demon that made everyone tremble was standing in front of them.

That demon was not the daily-level demon they often encountered. It looked like an ordinary-level demon. Although ordinary-level demons were one level higher than daily-level demons, there were so many of them that they had a chance to escape.

Black Iron immediately released their distress signal. This was because the mission they had received was only to search for the target and delay him. Then, they would wait for Dean Wang to bring people over to deal with this ordinary-level demon.

The demon in front of him still looked human, but there were two shadows on the ground.

One was the shadow of a normal person. The other one was in the shape of a monster. The hair on its head was a few meters long and messy as if it was alive. It danced everywhere. Furthermore, the shadow had six hands, each holding a weapon. It was an extremely terrifying sight.

This was the first time Black Iron and North Star had encountered such a situation. It should be because the demon had just escaped from the catacombs and possessed an ordinary martial artist. Its soul had yet to completely fuse.

That was why there were two shadows under the sun.

Once the body of the demon had completely fused with his soul, these demons would easily hide. Without a special mirror, ordinary martial artists would not be able to discover that those were people who had been possessed by demons.

“Form up. Tripartite Formation. Surround this demon and delay him for ten minutes. Our people should be here soon…” Black Iron shouted at his teammates beside him. They might not necessarily attack, but they just had to stall the target.

Following their shouts, the nearly thirty people in this team quickly changed positions in groups of three and quickly formed the simplest Tripartite Formation.

The demon watched curiously as Black Iron and the others ran around. It did not seem to be in a hurry at all. After their Tripartite Formation was formed, the demon suddenly rushed into the team like a bolt of lightning.

Black Iron heard screams and realized in horror that the originally powerful Tripartite Formation was useless against this demon.

In less than a breath’s time, almost all thirty of them had fallen to the ground. Especially Black Iron and North Star, who were so powerful. At this moment, they felt as if their bodies had been struck by something. After they landed heavily on the ground, they felt as if their eyes were seeing stars.

They wanted to move, but it was a pity that they could not move at all. Even though the two of them had once killed a daily-level demon, they felt that they could not fight back against this demon at all.

This time, not to mention stalling for time, not a single person in their team would survive.

“This is no ordinary-level demon. This is a nightmare-level demon. Run!”

The martial artists who had been sent flying seemed to have heard Li Yuanqing’s voice. At this moment, those martial artists’ bodies were cold and their faces were ashen. Endless despair arose in their hearts.

The mission they received was that an ordinary-level demon had escaped from the catacombs. After they discovered it, they only needed to report it and stall it. Who would have thought that they would encounter a nightmare-level demon? This was two levels higher! Even a first-stage Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Saint would not be able to kill this nightmare-level demon in one go! Moreover, they were all just high-level martial artists.

There was only death for everyone!

This time, they were going to be completely wiped out. There was not even one who could inform others. Perhaps reinforcements would arrive in a few minutes. However, they would not be able to last until the reinforcements arrived. Furthermore, they had received the wrong information here.

If they did not spread this news, a nightmare-level demon would appear in this Land of War. The human martial artists might suffer heavy casualties.

At the thought of this, North Star, who was originally an orphan, suddenly looked at Black Iron and did something he understood. It meant that the two of them would join forces and create an opportunity for their companions. Or rather, since everyone in this team could not survive, they might as well buy some time for Li Yuanqing to escape and spread the news.

Then at least their deaths were not unjustified. The remaining martial artists of the Northern Kingdom’s Martial Arts Academy had a chance to live.

“A nightmare-level demon has appeared in the Land of War. Tell Dean Wang, Li Yuanqing, run…” North Star, who was lying on the ground, shouted at Li Yuanqing, who was the furthest away from them. Then, he turned into an arrow that left the bow and flew towards the demon. Black Iron, who worked best with North Star, gathered all his strength and flew towards the demon with the sword in his hand.

The other martial artists who were also determined to die couldn’t care less about the heavy injuries on their bodies. At this moment, they only hoped that even if they died, they would buy Li Yuanqing time to escape.

This was because they did not have the strength to fight against a nightmare-level demon. Other than sending themselves to their deaths or even self-destructing, there was no better way to let this news spread.

When the opponent was too strong, death was the only outcome.

When Black Iron and North Star rushed towards the demon, all the martial artists in this small team also launched a suicidal attack like crazy.

However, when the demon heard Li Yuanqing’s name, it actually trembled. This name was more terrifying than anything else to demons. This was because countless demons that Li Yuanqing had hung on the stone wall at the entrance of the Catacomb No. 1 had fled back to the catacombs to tell their companions.

“If you want to go to the human world, remember, as long as you hear the words “Li Yuanqing”, you have to run as far as you can. Because if you hesitate for a second, you will be hung on the stone wall the next moment and suffer an indescribable destructive blow every day!”

That kind of blow was too terrifying. As long as they were demons, they did not want to encounter them for the rest of their lives. They were demons, but in their eyes, Li Yuanqing was ten thousand times more terrifying than them.

Such comments had already spread among the demons, especially the rumor that Li Yuanqing liked to hang demons on the stone wall with the Demon Slayer Sword. He did not stab them to death with one strike, but hung them there to torture them slowly.

This was one of those demons who heard those words. Therefore, when he heard Li Yuanqing’s name, he thought of his companion’s description of Li Yuanqing. Without another word, he disappeared like a puff of smoke.

The demon’s actions made all the martial artists who were charging at him miss. All the martial artists were petrified.

Someone looked at Li Yuanqing because everyone’s attention was on the demon. When the demon heard North Star’s shout, especially when he shouted Li Yuanqing, he clearly shivered. It was as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying. Was he afraid of Li Yuanqing?

This nightmare-level demon that made all martial artists commit suicide and self-destruct without hesitation was actually afraid of Li Yuanqing? It was simply unbelievable!

These martial artists looked at Li Yuanqing and sized him up. The martial artist whose beef was snatched was covered in blood, but he trembled as he took out another piece of beef and handed it to Li Yuanqing.

“What happened? What happened? Why are you all injured?” Some martial artists who saw the signal lights immediately rushed over. When they saw North Star, Black Iron, and the others, they exclaimed.

Other than Li Yuanqing, almost everyone in front of him had injuries.

“Did you encounter ordinary-level demons? Did you escape? Did you leave any traces for pursuit?” A person who looked like the leader asked North Star anxiously.

He also knew North Star and Black Iron. Only ordinary-level demons could injure them so severely. After all, the two of them had killed daily-level demons before. They were considered famous in this chaotic place.

“No, report it. We encountered a nightmare-level demon. A nightmare-level demon escaped from this Land of War. That demon has just taken over a human body and hasn’t completely fused with it…”

“Impossible. None of you can survive if it’s a nNightmare-level demon. You must be wrong! How is this possible? How is this possible…”

The martial artist couldn’t help but exclaim that it was impossible. In his impression, nightmare-level demons were too powerful. This team would be destroyed instantly after encountering them.

How could there be any survivors?

“We’re alive because we have him, Li Yuanqing!”

North Star looked at Li Yuanqing with a complicated expression. He did not know what to say. The martial artists who were with him could not help but lower their heads when they saw Li Yuanqing.

In the face of a nightmare-level demon, they only thought of suicide attacks to stall for time. They did not expect someone to make the demon so frightened.
