The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Book 12: Chapter 69

Volume 12 Chapter 69 : Counterattack Battle (3)

"Being merciless even to your own kind, I should be the one who feels astonished by your partners actions." Lin Xiang put the cold sword back into the scabbard at his waist. He could hear and understand the language of the outer world, because when he was under the influence of the outer world's divine consciousness, different languages were interconnected, except for some ancient languages, such as the language of dragons.

He did not expect that the demon clan would also be aware of the existence of both the cold sword and Harris. It seemed that weapons, like the cold sword, were quite renowned in the world beyond the skies.

"Hmph, weak creatures have no worth for survival. In my eyes, you are no different! You are not worthy of being my opponent at all."

"Don't make it sound like Im eager to be your opponent." Lin Xiang broke out in cold sweat. To be honest, he did not have much confidence. After all, if a single move from the bull-headed demon clan was already so powerful, it would be troublesome if there were other more powerful moves.

The demon clan was an immensely powerful entity. Lin Xiang had fought against them twice, and both times were grueling battles. Moreover, those demon clan members during those times were only at the general rank. As for those with higher ranks, such as the barons, Lin Xiang was unsure of how difficult they would be to deal with. It was even more unimaginable how Freed and Yalide fought against such enemies in great numbers in the past.

Dont be nervous. All creatures have weaknesses, and the demon clan is no exception. As long as you find their weak points and target them, you will be able to defeat them. A common weakness among the demon clan is that they fear light, especially light that is stronger than their own darkness. However, since my light is currently very, very weak, the holy flame wont be able to completely purify demons of this level. It can only inflict higher damage on them, at most. Ignore the big bug, theres a powerful demon clan member hiding in the shadows, likely a type of shadow entity or something. There's also another one on the city wall Well, this challenge doesnt seem so simple for you.

I feel that you, Freed, are just making sarcastic comments, rather than actually helping me. Lin Xiang smiled bitterly.

The huge demonic insect screeched, and a group of smaller demonic insects rushed in through the city gates. The creatures gathered in front of the huge demonic insect. Lin Xiang thought they were going to protect the injured demonic insect, but to his surprise, the huge demonic insect's pincers grabbed several smaller demonic insects and tore them with its mouth.

Its absorbing energy for regeneration?! This is not good. It seems that we can only consume dragon energy, and use light blasts to get rid of the bugs first. Otherwise, it will be much more difficult for the spirits to counterattack.

Understood. Lin Xiang nodded as he aimed his palm at the pile of demonic insects.

"What's that. This kid." The bull-headed demon clan member was astonished when he saw a ball of light hovering and spinning in Lin Xiang's palm. There were not many things that could surprise the demon clan. In Bull-heads understanding, it was absolutely impossible for human beings to use light magic.

The light ball grew brighter. Having consumed dozens of demonic insects, the huge demonic insect had absorbed the energy and regrown its legs. At that moment, it noticed Lin Xiang's strangeness. It let out a loud cry, seemingly wanting to evade. However, in the instant it turned around, the ball of light was shot out with force.

Like a bullet piercing through tofu, the smaller demonic insect was reduced to ashes upon impact with the light blast. The huge demonic insect was also hit on the carapace and penetrated halfway through, but managed to avoid a headshot and remained alive.

Dodging an enemy's attack was a disgrace to bull-headed demon clan. However, facing Lin Xiang's light blast, it had no choice but to do something so humiliating.

The lower-ranked demon soldiers and demonic insects were not immune to light blasts. In the darkest moments before dawn, like a comet, Lin Xiangs light soared out of the city gate, killing at least thousands of demonic creatures.

"I want to avenge those spirits youve harmed!" Dusty suddenly appeared before the fallen huge demonic insect. Its limbs had all been destroyed by the light blasts and the carapace on its abdomen had been partially worn away, oozing black corrosive fluid.

It raised its head and let out a screech at Dusty, while more demonic insects rushed in from outside the city gate.

"Hey!" Dusty clasped her hands together, causing the ground on both sides of the huge demonic insect to violently clamp its head. However, the defensive capability of the huge demonic insect was still astonishing.

"Hah" Dustys face turned red from exertion, but it had no effect. The other demonic insects were also coming to its aid.

Dustys eyes looked around, and suddenly had an idea. She softened the soil and enclosed the head of the huge demonic insect with it, then used the soil to infiltrate the huge demonic insect's eyes, mouth, and nostrils.

"This is cruel, but if I don't kill you, youll do even crueler things to the spirits." Dusty exerted a sudden force.

The head of the huge demonic insect was forcefully propped open from the inside by the soil.

"Ugh!" Dusty, who had a keen sense of smell, was hit by a disgusting stench. She quickly covered her mouth and endured it, continuing to cast magic on the approaching demonic insects. Mud spikes protruded from the ground, piercing through the carapaces of dozens. At that time, Dusty basically almost drained her strength. Some demonic insects swung their claws, coming towards Dusty.

A burst of flames swept through and all the demonic insects were reduced to ashes. Fire Lotus had arrived and brought Dusty back to the area where the spirits were.

"That's so amazing!!! It's absolutely a godly skill!" The spirits were all left in awe after witnessing Lin Xiang's attack. They were initially stunned, but once the huge demonic insect died, their cheers filled the air.

"Damn I'm feeling a little exhausted." The light blasts had consumed about three-fifths of the dragon energy and a significant amount of mental energy. Lin Xiang was not physically tired at the moment, but he felt mentally drained.

Stay strong. If theres something that can replenish energy, then youll be able to recover. But theres nothing related to light around here.

Stop wasting your breath with irrelevant chatter, Freed.

If the number of demonic insects and demon soldiers were originally around tens of thousands earlier, then there would be about four-tenths left at the moment. However, Lin Xiang did not believe that the demon soldiers and demonic insects posed the greatest threat. The bull-headed demon of the clan and the giant demon insects were the real troubles.

The powerful defense of the huge demonic insect made it incredibly challenging for the spirits to kill it. Even the bull-headed demon clan member destroyed the towering city gate that was reinforced with magic and specially built with special materials. If that attack was used on the spirits, it would probably be like Lin Xiang's light bomb, killing thousands of spirits instantly.

Not to mention the demons hiding in the darkness and on the city wall.

Could it be that the current war was truly unwinnable, and the spirits were facing their end?

Lin Xiang turned to look at the spirits behind him. Each one of them was looking at him with excitement. If they had been hopeless before, now they were brimming with hope, with a burning desire for survival.

No, I mustn't show weakness.

Lin Xiang shook his head, trying to energize himself, and then glanced back at the bull-headed demon clan member. It lifted its giant axe, spewed out flames from its nostrils, and said to Lin Xiang, "You are definitely not human. Great! I take back what I said before. You are qualified enough to be my opponent. Get ready to accept the punishment of Baron Pine's Dark Inferno! You and these feeble creatures will all be reduced to ashes together."

"Bring it on, if you can." Lin Xiang took a deep breath, placing his hand on the hilt of the cold sword, preparing to draw his sword. However, he suddenly realized that his body could not move. It was an extremely strange sensation, as if someone was holding his entire body down.

"What's going on?" Lin Xiang glanced downward to find that his shadow was unusually dark. Normally, in the light of the surrounding torches, his shadow would not be that dark. It should have been somewhat visible, allowing him to see the outlines of ground to some extent. However, his shadow was currently like ink, spreading on the ground, and obscuring the contours of the ground surface.

It's the work of the shadow demon clan. To deal with it, you must find its location then purify it with light at once. The shadow demon clan is more sensitive to light than other demon clans.

But the problem is, how can I find it?

Lin Xiang's gaze fixed on the bull-headed demon clan member, which was approaching him with a massive axe in hand.
