Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Novel - Chapter 173

The demons’ temporary operation was still in the negotiation stage.

“Did the humans over there hear that? If you did, reply. I’m a very magnanimous person. As long as you surrender properly, you can still live well. If you continue to be stubborn and don’t repent, then we can only have a good meal tonight!”

“Hahaha!”

“A full meal!”

“I haven’t eaten the delicious blood of the human race in a long time!”

“I’m going to eat to my heart’s content tonight!”

The demons shouted as they charged over.

They wanted to crush the last psychological defense of the human race. They wanted to squeeze out the pitiful pride of the human race again and again. They wanted to take back what the human race had obtained.

“Big Brother, what are you waiting for? Let me go out and cut these damn demons into pieces!”

The humans on the city wall were already furious. They looked at the demons below who did not take them seriously and clenched their fists.

…

“Don’t panic. It won’t be too late to act after they get closer. Don’t panic now.”

Li Yuanqing looked up at him with interest. This commander was quite calm.

It would be too close if they attacked at this distance. They would probably waste a lot of strength for no reason, and it would easily arouse the other party’s vigilance. Therefore, now was not the time for them to make a move. If they wanted to win this battle, they had to endure. As long as they endured, an opportunity would appear.

When the demons saw that the humans did not move, they became excited.

“A bunch of cowards. All you know is to hide inside and wait for me to go over carefully. I’ll go over and see what you cowards can do!”

“Hahaha!”

The sky kept echoing with gloomy laughter. The laughter made the humans tired, and it made them suffocate.

The humans were still waiting.

When the demons were about a mile away from Ping City, they suddenly heard a loud shout. Countless lights erupted from Ping City and bombarded the gathering point of the demons.

Although these demons had rough skin and thick flesh, they were very simple-minded. When they were anxious, they immediately could not take it and wanted to rush up and start eating. It was this stubbornness that made them have no intention of retreating in the face of such a huge explosion.

In their opinion, the fireworks that seemed to have bloomed ahead were to welcome their arrival. Such a grand scene made them even more excited.

In this state, they rushed forward to kill. However, they were flesh and blood after all. Under the huge attack of the humans, flesh and blood instantly exploded.

These demons’ bodies were pitch-black from the explosion, and charred flesh kept rolling in all directions. Seeing that the thousands of demons had disappeared in an instant, the demons behind finally regained their senses and retreated obediently.

“Alright!”

Shouts erupted in Ping City. They had obtained a huge victory in this stage, making them feel extremely proud. However, before the humans could be happy for long, the retreating demons slowly stopped.

A few huge dark clouds slowly rose from the races behind the demons. They rose and slowly approached Ping City.

From all directions, a very powerful demon stood up. They carried a powerful and unparalleled boldness. This pressure was so oppressive that people could not breathe. Moreover, they were approaching step by step. This unparalleled deterrence was unstoppable.

The humans could only watch as they approached.

“Release!”

As the orders of the human commander fell, countless weapons were suddenly thrown out, targeting the demon experts floating in the air. These weapons erupted with intense light as they rushed towards the demons. Although an attack of this level was powerful, it could not injure an expert of this level.

All they could do was to temporarily consume some of their energy. When the war began, they would be able to reduce the pressure on the human experts.

Those demon experts ignored such an attack and directly pressed towards Ping City.

“Is that all?”

Dozens of top experts of the demon race surrounded Ping City in the middle. The pressure emitted by them was even far stronger than that of those demons. The pressure on the humans clearly increased. They looked at the sky anxiously. It was hard to say if they could pass this round.

“Everyone, don’t panic. Stabilize the formation!”

The humans had just issued the command, but the demons had already seen through the advantages of the humans’ strict discipline. They would not let the humans continue to fight with such an advantage.

After the few of them exchanged secret signals, someone suddenly took the initiative to attack. This person threw out a bright egg from afar. The bright egg fell ruthlessly and landed on a city wall before suddenly exploding.

The intense and blinding light was blinding. When everyone looked back, they saw that a huge gap had appeared in the destroyed city wall.

Broken arms hung from the broken city wall. After that strike, countless humans had died tragically.

When the human cultivators saw this scene, they were all terrified. They were not people who were not afraid of death. But when they saw this scene, they could not help but retreat.

The demon experts snorted coldly and looked down for their targets, each staring at the person he was facing.

In the human race, there were only ten people above the fifth-grade of Spirit Transformation realm.

The demons were simple. After splitting up, they split these people up. Four to five demons surrounded a human expert and trapped them. Below, it was a tragic chaotic battle.

Just as the human race was at a complete disadvantage in the battle, a loud sword cry suddenly resounded through the sky.

The humans looked at the sky in ecstasy. A demon-like shadow stood there.

The shadow’s expression could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was the sword in his hand.

“Sword Immortal! The Sword Immortal is here!”

The human cultivators cheered as if they had seen hope.

Li Yuanqing stood in the huge shadow of the Demon supreme-ruler and stared indifferently at the demon experts gathered below.

These demons looked warily at Li Yuanqing in the sky.

“What is this thing playing tricks here? Why can’t I sense the aura inside at all? What level is this fellow at?”

Some of the demons wanted to spy on Li Yuanqing’s situation, but no matter how hard they tried, Li Yuanqing was like an abyss that they could not figure out.

Many people began to retreat. There wasn’t any talk about them dealing with such an expert.

“Didn’t they say that the Sword Immortal would follow after Hu Jiujiu left? Why is he still here?”

“Maybe it’s just a fake. I think he’s probably pretending. He’s definitely not a real Sword Immortal!”

Some demons made bold guesses.

Before they could think too much, the Sword Immortal in the sky suddenly spoke.

“You demons refused to give up and broke the rules. You shall die!”

The demon experts were suspicious as they looked at the fellow in the sky. This thing looked very real, but they did not believe it.

“Who are you? Stop spouting nonsense. Ping City belongs to us demons to begin with. We’re just here to take back our territory. How can we tolerate your nonsense!”

An eighth-grade Spirit Transformation demon stood up and said boldly just because he was powerful.

“Shut up!”

Such a simple sentence, but it was so oppressive. It was as powerful as a hammer hitting the hearts of all the demons, making them unable to breathe.

The huge sword in the Sword Immortal’s hand pressed down on the demon with an irresistible pressure.

This demon thought highly of himself and felt that he was powerful. However, in front of Li Yuanqing’s sword, he was simply useless.

All the demons standing beside him had no time to react at all. They only left behind a short cry before dissipating with their big brother.

All of them, all the arrogant people who had appeared here, were killed by this sword.

Silence. There was total silence.

No one realized what had just happened. They haven’t even immersed in grief yet, and the humans did not even react.

Although the humans were still stunned, the demons could not sit still at all. They did not expect that those experts, whom they were proud of, would disappear in this short confrontation. Moreover, more than one person had died. More than ten people had died in an instant. These experts were all big shots who dominated a region. They had died silently for no reason.

The demons below did not dare to stay here for long. They screamed and ran out of Ping City.

“Help!”

All the demons were running for their lives outside. They did not dare to stay here any longer. They did not dare to hide from them anymore. Now, they only wanted to return to their safest nest.

Another sword strike shattered the heavens and the earth.

In the direction where the sword passed, a row of thousands of demons was instantly reduced to powder.

“Sword Immortal!”

The city erupted into cheers. They had finally met their benefactor. They had finally met the Sword Immortal they had been waiting for.

The Sword Immortal that Li Yuanqing had transformed into slowly glanced at the city and stretched out his hand that was not holding the sword.

The humans did not know what had happened. Just as they were feeling puzzled, many people suddenly rose into the sky.

These were mostly demons. They were all wailing in midair.

“Help, let go of me!”

“Sword Immortal, please spare my life!”

Li Yuanqing ignored their cries for help and clenched his fists without hesitation. These demons exploded into a bloody mist in the sky. They no longer let out any cries because they had already become dregs. They no longer had any chance to cause trouble.

Most of these demons were informants and many of them had left. However, some were still guarding here. Li Yuanqing had killed these people just now.

The remaining demons in the city naturally knew what Li Yuanqing meant. All of them were terrified and did not dare to raise their heads. They could only lower their heads and pray that they would not be targeted.

Li Yuanqing looked back and scanned the area of these demons. He thought that this warning was enough.

There were not many demons left in the city to begin with. After such a punishment, they would probably be much more obedient in the future.

“Sword Immortal!”

Tears welled up in the eyes of the humans. They had hoped for such a victory as much as they had faced despair just now.

They thought that the City Lord had already betrayed them, but there was still a great Sword Immortal here. This Sword Immortal could bring them victory.

They shouted the Sword Immortal’s name again and again, eager to obtain powerful strength from this name.

All the demons retreated. They probably did not dare to return. After seeing such a scene, they probably would not dare to come to Ping City again in their lives.

Li Yuanqing quietly watched as the demons retreated and silently disappeared.

After the Sword Immortal’s body dissipated, everyone went inside to search, but they could not find anything. There was nothing there. The Sword Immortal had already left.

Although he had left, the legend he left behind was reinforced in Ping City again and again.

Those new humans who did not have such basic fear of the Sword Immortal began to become fanatical worshippers of the Sword Immortal after experiencing such a scene. As for those who were fanatics of the Sword Immortal in the past, they were even more excited with tears in their eyes.

Li Yuanqing had already achieved his goal this time. It could be considered a lesson to these demons since they dared to be so impudent. He had warned them many times in the past, but they never listened to his advice and always did such stupid things over and over again.

This time, Li Yuanqing followed their plan after coming up with such an idea. He believed that after this incident, they would never do such idiotic thing again.

When Li Yunqing returned to his small courtyard, he happened to see Qiu Muyun.

Qiu Muyun was kneeling on the ground at this moment, muttering something. From time to time, he would raise his head to look at the sky, his eyes filled with endless worship.

“Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal, please give me endless power. I’m willing to be your most pious believer!”

Qiu Muyun muttered as he kowtowed, completely unaware that Li Yuanqing had entered.
