Chapter 100: Chapter 96: The Half-Demon Giant, White Deer Demon King

The cool breeze scattered the clouds, and the chilly moonlight descended, illuminating the giant holding a sword, standing upright in the grass.

The figure was over three meters tall, with half of the body still barely human while the other half was pitch black, covered in hard scale armor. Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-novelhall.net

The giant opened its mouth, with a snake-like crimson tongue hissing loudly. On both sides were sharp, ghastly white fangs, and thick iron-like muscles layered over the skin, as if sealing its powerful and exaggerated physical form.

"Why?" the giant uttered, as if talking to itself.

"What why?" A long, exaggerated mouth appeared at the giant's throat, breaking into a smile.

"Three very nutritious meals came along, so why won't you let me eat them?" the half-human, half-snake monster murmured quietly.

"Food, hahaha..."

The large mouth on the throat let out a string of strange laughter.

Then, taking a slightly more serious tone, it answered, "Hanlin, among those three guys, one is quite difficult to deal with. Who knows, we might become the prey."

"They are all from the Demon Suppression Bureau. If we don't kill them all, how can we rescue mother from the Demon Suppression Tower?" The giant gently stroked the long sword in its hand, speaking calmly.

"Indeed."

The large mouth on the throat replied, "The strongest among those three is the Tower Master of the Demon Suppression Tower."

"Even I, upon just breaking free from the seal, almost got killed by that guy, a true monster. If it weren't for you, I would absolutely not wish to confront such a terrifying fellow head-on. Even the thought of it is thrilling."

"Thank you..." the giant fell silent, then offered two words.

"There's nothing to thank me for. We're merely cooperating with each other, each getting what we need," said the large mouth.

The giant lifted its head, its blood-red vertical pupils narrowing slightly, its gaze seeming to traverse the heavens and fall upon the Demon Suppression Tower in the county town square.

"To what degree must I reach in order to defeat those humans?"

"Soon," said the large mouth excitedly. "By cultivating the Snake Shedding Technique to the seventh layer, in this county, you should have the power to contend for supremacy."

"With a half-demon body, practicing human Cultivation Techniques, plus the experience and talent of a great demon like me. Monster, what a monster," the large mouth exclaimed with excitement. "Kid, you will reach a realm that no one has ever imagined."

"Monster?" the giant sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" the large mouth asked, puzzled. "Don't you like such power?"

"I like power, but I do not like the process of acquiring it," the giant said softly. "Continuous killing, devouring, feeling the power of the eternal heavens slowly descending upon my body. This process makes me feel like I am gradually killing something."

"What thing?" the large mouth questioned.

"The part of me that belongs to humans," the giant replied calmly.

"Hehehe, how can one gain power without paying a price?" the large mouth chuckled while offering consolation.

"Yes..." the giant withdrew its gaze, "As long as I can save my mother, it doesn't matter what I kill, what I give up, or what I become. There's only one thing I care about—

On this path, whoever stands in my way, dies!"

Bang!

The gentleness on his face disappeared, replaced by ferocity and viciousness, with what looked like two blazing red flames dancing and burning within his eye sockets.

An extremely terrifying and domineering aura swept out like hundreds of massive, invisible blades, twisting the air and leaving deep cuts on the ground. The ancient trees nearby broke off with a thunderous crash. An owl, sensing the danger, flapped its wings, but before it could fly away, it burst into pieces, turning into countless fragments of flesh.

Countless specks of dust and fragments of leaves fluttered down from the sky, obscuring the moonlight and the view.

When all the dust had settled, all that remained on the ground was a giant crater.

The half-demon giant's figure had vanished, signaling that a new round of hunting would soon unfold!

...

...

...

"Did that guy seem to notice the two of us just now?"

"Impossible. We're tens of thousands of meters apart. Even if Li Daoxuan himself were here, he couldn't possibly extend his sense this far!"

"Perhaps it's not a sense, but something more like an intuition."

"This guy, despite wearing a human shell, gives me the feeling more of a cruel, heartless beast."

Canglong Mountain.

On a remote mountain peak obscured by clouds and fog.

She loathed her own weakness, but she was powerless.

Drip drop!

Crimson tears fell.

Ye Tong lowered her hands and realized they were covered in blood and large patches of torn human skin.

In the midst of her crying just now, she had nearly torn off half of her face.

But she felt no pain.

The immense sorrow numbed her senses to the cold.

"Are you feeling any better now?" A detached voice sounded, handing her a white handkerchief with a pale, slender hand.

Ye Tong took it absently and slowly looked up.

"Why?" she asked. "Our god has been treated like that, yet you don't seem sad at all."

The young elder Ye Luo replied, "I don't do things that are pointless."

"I don't know why, but they didn't choose to kill the Wolf King; he's still alive," Ye Luo said.

"So..." Ye Tong asked.

"It means that we still have a chance to save him," Ye Luo said. "A demon as powerful as the Wolf King, once freed, can recover quickly even from such serious injuries."

"But that's the Demon Suppression Tower; for us, it's hell," Ye Tong said in shock.

"So, just because it's difficult, should we give up without even trying?" Ye Luo asked with a cold voice, looking down from above.

Ye Tong clenched her fists and suddenly looked up, "Tell me, what should we do?"

...

...

...

In a valley in Canglong Mountain.

Cool moonlight shone down while flames flickered, the corpses of the heretical cultists were piled up and crackled as they burned.

Su Li slowly stood up from beside a wounded Demon Suppression Bureau disciple.

"The injuries have stabilized for the most part. Be careful not to engage in vigorous activities from now on to avoid misaligning your bones and causing permanent problems," she said gently.

She reached out and gently rubbed the young disciple's head, admonishing with care.

"Thank you, you've been a great help," the young disciple said, his cheeks slightly red, filled with gratitude.

"You're welcome, it's what I should do," Su Li said with a smile on her face, taking a step back to head over to another group of wounded.

But...

She hadn't walked two steps forward.

Overwhelmed by the extensive use of her internal energy, an intense wave of dizziness surged over her.

Su Li staggered, nearly falling, but Xiao Qing was there to steady her in time, helping her regain her balance.

"Thank you," Su Li said.

"You can't keep going on like this," Xiao Qing said somewhat angrily. "You're weak now as well; you need proper rest."

"I..." Su Li opened her mouth, her lips slightly dry.

She shook her head without arguing with her friend but simply said calmly, "These disciples are subordinates of Elder Zhao Luoying. When Elder Zhao returns and sees this scene, she will surely praise me, won't she?"

Xiao Qing looked at her serious expression, suddenly silent and at a loss for words.

Su Li pinched Xiao Qing's cheek, turned around, and continued on.

Swish!

A breeze blew by.

An unexpected shadow appeared beside the two.

Su Li and Xiao Qing both jumped, the former instinctively reaching for the long sword at her waist.

But once she saw the shadow was her dear brother Su Heng, Su Li patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
