Chapter 240: Summoning the Monster

I never imagined that meeting Nan Qiyun again would become a permanent farewell with him.

Seeing Nan Qiyun, Zhang Xingyu couldn't help but worry about Zhu Dafu again.

Zhu Xiaopang, you aren't here too, are you?

Suppressing the lingering fear in his heart, Zhang Xingyu carefully inspected those corpses.

After the inspection, Zhang Xingyu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

That Zhu Xiaopang fellow isn't here.

He was flipping through human corpses and collecting items from them.

Kasen Dela shook his head.

Looks like this subordinate of mine is really stingy.

But when he turned his head to think, he felt relieved.

My subordinate's former master was a demon, a demon exiled to this place.

Boom!

From afar, another booming sound echoed.

The source of the sound turned out to be the direction he came from.

Kasen Dela's face darkened.

"Aiwarduo, you bastard. What the hell are the people in your shop doing?"

"Lord, calm down, Lord, calm down! I've already told the magician in the shop. It's just that the high‑grade magical potions we prepared this time can't be stopped in a short time. I'll go to the shop right now and make those damned guys halt their work immediately."

Zhang Xingyu quickly apologized.

"Damned thing. Hurry and make them stop."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm on it right now."

Zhang Xingyu answered while secretly calculating.

Seven people still hadn't been teleported away.

If the teleportation array sounds again, the previous effort will be wasted.

But to keep the teleportation array silent, it would have to stop activating.

If the array doesn't activate, the people inside can't leave.

I'm afraid that in no time more demon army will surge in.

By then, even with the array, they won't be able to escape.

Now, the market only has a few demon lords; there are no high‑rank demon generals present.

If we can kill these demon lords, there might still be a sliver of hope to escape.

"Lord, I just found something on a human; it might be a list of human rapes."

Zhang Xingyu silently pondered while pulling a piece of paper from the collected items.

The paper came from Nan Qiyun; it was both a will and a love letter.

"Alice, when you read this letter, I should already be dead. I'm about to undertake a dangerous mission, possibly never to return. Alice, I know your feelings for me. But I cannot accept them. Alice, you are a good girl; you deserve a peaceful life, a happy family, a husband who loves and cherishes you and can stay by your side. If this war hadn't happened, I would gladly stay with you. But now the demons are invading, my comrades are trapped in demon hands, and I cannot fail to rescue them. So please forgive me..."

Holding the letter with both hands, Zhang Xingyu leaned toward Kasen Dela.

"Good! Very good!"

"Later we'll find someone who can read human script; if it truly is a list of human rapes, you've achieved a great feat, and I will reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Lord."

Kasen Dela looked at Zhang Xingyu, his face full of smiling.

This newly recruited subordinate is quite good; he understands my intentions well.

If this truly is a list of human rapes, with it we could wipe out all the human rapists in the city.

Hehe! Then Lord Ha De will surely reward me greatly.

High‑grade demon stones, beautiful female cultivators, even profound magic.

Kasen Dela dreamed of them in his mind.

But at that moment, a red flash blinded his eyes.

Bad!

The thought just flashed.

A headless body erupted in a spray of blood.

The body looked so familiar...

The last fragment of thought broke, and Kasen Dela's soul fell into endless darkness.

Kasen Dela! Serves you right!

You ran into me. Actually, I'm an undercover.

Zhang Xingyu thought this, but his hands kept moving.

As his hands danced, red, yellow, and green lights flashed.

What a fast sword!

The demon lords surrounding them just snapped out of shock, and three more demon lords were decapitated.

The remaining demon lords each drew their demon blades.

"So, you're also a human rapist?"

A demon lord pointed at Zhang Xingyu and asked.

Answering him were a red and a yellow sword light.

At this moment, Zhang Xingyu couldn't bother to conceal his identity; his spiritual energy surged fully.

Ah!

In an instant, another demon lord fell.

The remaining few demon lords, seeing this, each activated the demonic weapons in their hands.

Demon knives, demon spears, and demon tridents surged toward Zhang Xingyu from all directions.

Seeing the situation clearly, Zhang Xingyu dared not be sluggish.

He had no defensive talisman on his body.

If struck by these demonic weapons, he would either die or be gravely wounded.

"Yellow Dragon, Trapped Immortal!"

Sword light flared everywhere.

A yellow light barrier appeared around Zhang Xingyu.

Above the barrier, countless stars floated and sank, and dragon roars echoed.

Within a radius of ten zhang, it became a dead zone.

The demon soldiers that had been surrounding him turned into clusters of blood mist.

All demonic weapons aimed at the barrier turned into specks of powder.

Puff!

A demon lord spat fresh blood.

In an instant, his soul‑blood‑fused demon knife was already broken.

Besides this demon lord, the other few demon lords also showed a drastic change of complexion.

"Magic arrows, use magic arrows!"

The demon lords shouted toward the archers.

"Wooo!"

Arrows flew like locusts, whistling as they pierced the air toward the barrier.

"Pop!"

The barrier quivered, and the arrows shattered.

At the same time, within the barrier.

Zhang Xingyu seemed struck; a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

Boom!

From afar, another booming sound echoed.

That was the fifth sound.

"Fourth Brother, Captain, your actions are finally getting faster."

To create an opening for Hu Siping and the others, he could not flee; he had to lure all the searching demon soldiers here.

However, the sword barrier constructed by Yellow Dragon, though formidable, consumed a huge amount of Spiritual Aura.

In less than a quarter hour, the spiritual energy in his dantian was already depleted.

Having no choice, he reduced the sword barrier's scope.

"Everyone, act together!"

A demon lord shouted to the surrounding demon soldiers.

The demon soldiers waved their demonic weapons, yet none of them actually attacked.

This light barrier before them was too bizarre.

Even magic arrows were of no use.

If they released their own demonic weapons, they would likely never return.

"Move quickly! Whoever dares to hold back will be dealt with by military law!"

The demon lord brandished his demon knife and shouted loudly.

The demon soldiers exchanged glances and reluctantly released their demonic weapons.

The barrier swayed, and crackling sounds continued.

The demonic weapons shattered, and the demon soldiers' hearts were broken.

The demon race does not issue weapons to its soldiers; the demon soldiers purchase their own arms.

"Quick! Attack together again! The humans inside can no longer hold on."

The demon soldiers hesitated.

Meanwhile, within the barrier.

Zhang Xingyu frantically circulated the Creation Technique.

Drops of Divine Essence were drawn from the Divine Sea, turning into streams of Spiritual Aura to replenish his dantian.

"Faster! Even faster! I can't hold on much longer!"

Zhang Xingyu shouted in his heart.

"Boom!"

From afar, another booming sound rang out.

The sixth time.

Two more to go.

I must keep persisting.
