Chapter 180: Night Kill

At dusk, the snow region Demon city had already entered the night one step ahead.

There was no one on the street, only the cold wind raging on the street, blowing continuously.

At this moment, the Jade Garden was exceptionally quiet, with no birds or insects, only thick snow constantly accumulating on the branches, and the sound of it collapsing with a *whoosh* when it couldn't bear the weight.

And outside the Jade Garden, the looming night also spread out slowly like snowflakes.

On the Dengfeng Avenue near the Demon Emperor Palace, the mansions along the road were all brightly lit, with doors wide open, but there was no one, only the wind and snow constantly pouring in.

The feeling given by such a scene was not festive, but a deep sense of oppression.

At this moment, Princess Fengyang passed by these mansions and returned to her Princess Mansion. Just as she walked in, she saw Ye Han sitting in the courtyard, wrapped in a thick robe, surrounding the stove and boiling tea.

"That pot of orchids you brought back from the Human race earlier, did it not survive in the end?"

Fengyang nodded lightly upon hearing this: "It was too cold after all; even if placed in a greenhouse, it was very difficult to survive."

Ye Han looked at the palace upon hearing this: "If we could go to the Nine Provinces, it wouldn't be so hard to raise some flowers and grass."

"But I think it's better not to fight."

Ye Han suddenly noticed her medicine box: "Why did you come back so late today? Where did you go?"

Fengyang took off the medicine box and handed it to the maid beside her: "Went to the Jade Garden to treat the illness of that Human named Ji You."

Ye Han looked at Fengyang with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so attentive to that Human?"

Fengyang was no longer as flustered as she was in the Jade Garden. At this moment, recalling what happened today, she couldn't help but furrow her brow: "I was a bit curious about that Human before, but now I don't like that Human a bit."

"Why is that?"

"That person is somewhat frivolous."

Ye Han: "?"

Fengyang spoke lightly: "I heard before that he slashed the Barbarian King in the wilderness, and it was rumored to be miraculous. I didn't expect that after a few contacts, I found... he doesn't understand etiquette, acts strangely, and speaks somewhat out of bounds."

Ye Han couldn't help but laugh lightly: "I once traveled to the Nine Provinces in the name of trade, and the Humans I saw were basically like this."

"And another point, he doesn't cherish his life at all. That hand could have healed itself; I don't understand why he had to go to such trouble?"

"?"

Ye Han didn't quite understand the second half, but he paid extra attention to the first half, thinking, *Are you disgusted or concerned? *

Just as the two were talking, for some reason, the snow outside the mansion gate sank into a thick darkness without warning.

Both turned to look at the same time, only to find that the brightly lit courtyards of the mansions along the street had suddenly extinguished at the same time, as if they had been pinched to death by an invisible force.

Both were slightly stunned, a flash of confusion in their eyes.

At the same time, on the Guilin Avenue in the inner city, as the lights of those mansions went out, a rush of fine footsteps sounded like a sudden rain, moving rapidly under the thick night.

First one wave, then two waves, three waves...

Accompanying the footsteps was the sharp Qi hidden in the wind, as well as the boiling killing intent that was cleverly concealed but faintly emitted, rushing toward the silent Jade Garden at extreme speed.

In the wind, the shining armor reflected cold light, and a piece of bloody aura spread instantly.

And following these figures patrolling the wind and entering the city were two Demon elders with dull scales and yellow spots on their fangs, whistling and falling, their feet standing on the snow.

"His Majesty cannot make a decision, so we should share His Majesty's worries..."

"The Demon race has waited long enough and shouldn't wait any longer, right?"

"Meritorious in the present, beneficial for thousands of years; we will be remembered by the clan forever."

"Go, kill!"

The ink-colored night pressed down heavily, and the biting wind and snow cut like knives.

The Scale race leader and the Tooth race leader were draped in the night, suddenly chanting a 'kill' word in a low voice. Although it didn't resound, it pierced into the ears of all the Demons who arrived tonight.

In an instant, dozens of majestic and powerful auras shot toward the Jade Garden like arrows from a bowstring, carrying murderous and biting cold, like a black torrent intending to drown everything, and the night boiled at this moment.

Subsequently, from the courtyard, to the water pavilion, to the stone pavilion, the dark footsteps were exceptionally hurried, but not chaotic.

At this moment, the Demon death soldiers had burning gazes, their vertical pupils flickering. Although they were wrapped in coldness, the blades in their hands and their hearts were incomparably scorching.

As the Demon death soldier at the very front waved his hand in the night wind, the Demon death soldiers, who were still in a bowing posture, instantly drew their blades and rushed toward the corridor in front of the house.

However, after running a few steps, these fearless Demons suddenly stopped their steps.

Because at this moment, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in the corridor, carrying an iron sword and walking down the steps, looking up slightly.

In an instant, an extremely sharp sword Qi wrapped in whistling wind, like a bright lightning bolt breaking through the dark night, slashed horizontally toward the corridor, fierce as overlapping waves.

Amidst the whistling sword chant, blood splattered, spraying all over the sky, *splat* falling into the deep snow, covering the entire pure white Jade Garden with a layer of glaring crimson.

At the same time, a *boom* of giant shock suddenly came from the right side of the courtyard, like a thunderclap.

A fire light soared into the sky with the momentum of a landslide, scorching and dazzling, illuminating the heavy night, penetrating the thick cold fog, and directly blasting away a piece of Demon soldiers who had rushed into the bamboo forest on the right.

And the snowflakes dancing all over the sky were unfortunately affected, instantly melted by the high temperature, turning into water droplets, making a *sizzle* sound.

However, just at this moment, a powerful aura suddenly rose from under the night, followed by a giant hammer falling from the sky, wrapped in the power of ten thousand jun, smashing down with a *boom*.

Yan Chuan blocked with his sword tilted, and was directly smashed into a tall building in the Jade Garden.

In an instant, the tall building in the Jade Garden collapsed, bricks and stones flew, and the sound of collapse was like rolling muffled thunder, echoing in the long street for a long time.

And the large number of Demon death soldiers who arrived later also rushed in, and the sound of killing instantly awakened this long night.

At this moment, the Qi surrounding the Jade Garden rolled backward, and the humming roar instantly resounded through the earth, making countless Demons living around who were ready to sleep open their eyes in shock.

"What happened?"

"They are fighting, it's the Jade Garden..."

"It's the Humans, those Human envoys live in the Jade Garden, the killing intent is aimed at them!"

The Demons living around put on their clothes, stepped on the wall with both feet, and just as they landed, they heard the sound of killing rushing like a tide, entering their ears, making people terrified.

And what made them even more terrified was the snow covered in blood, and the killing intent flowing everywhere.

The Demon race can use private fighting to resolve disputes; this is written in the law.

But even so, they only fought with fists and feet, and had never seen such a tragic scene appear in the inner city.

Just at this moment, a giant hammer rose into the air again, falling heavily toward the collapsed building.

"It's the famous general of the Scale race's Profound Demon Realm, Ye Tuo!"

"It really is him."

The Demons watching the battle from the wall opened their eyes in shock, discussing with each other, and saw the Scale race leader watching this scene at this moment.

This was one of the strongest combat powers he could mobilize without the Demon Emperor's knowledge.

*Boom! *

As the death soldiers entered, countless Immortal Sect prodigies suddenly appeared in the Jade Garden, and the original assassination instantly turned into a chaotic battle where dust and broken snow flew at the same time.

And under the collapsed tall building, as the war hammer fell again, a sword light whistled from the sinking smoke, instantly making the Demon general's pupils shrink.

*Clang! *

Amidst the sparks, the Demon general holding the war hammer retreated a few steps, then swung again and hit hard.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the Scale race leader and the Demon race leader instantly became incomparably gloomy.

The two of them had never been to the Nine Provinces, but as the Human and Demon races traded with each other, various observation news came, and they knew quite a bit about the interior of the Human race.

And from their point of view, this group has always been selfish.

Cultivators never care about the life and death of mortals, only focusing on their own gains or family interests, and the infighting is intensifying.

Fathers, brothers, sisters, even if there is a blood relationship, it will not hinder their infighting.

And the performance of those Human Immortal Sect prodigies who came with the delegation this time further confirmed their thoughts.

So they used snow region Demon stones, and even the core of spirit mines as bait, intending to disperse them in the way of a banquet, and then kill all those envoys who had no combat power.

In their view, those Human cultivators didn't pay much attention to whether the Human and Demon races allied, so this matter should be seamless. They didn't expect that after the invitations were sent out, no one attended.

And at this moment, they raided the Jade Garden and encountered a counterattack that seemed to have been prepared long ago. This kind of thing wouldn't be a coincidence; it could only be that someone had calculated ahead of them...

"They made a formation."

"Then tell them not to entangle, kill the Human envoys quickly, even if there is only one!"

Amidst the towering Qi waves, a figure holding a giant axe leaped into the air. In the night sky, the figure suddenly expanded by three feet, directly demonizing, and dived toward the West Courtyard.

The moment the giant axe fell, a scorching iron blade flew out from under the night, blocking it fiercely.

In the collision of sparks, the tyrannical Qi directly blew up the thick snow again, rolling and sweeping toward the surroundings like a storm.

Immediately after, the iron blade was controlled by the whistling spiritual energy and fell into the hands of a figure flying through the air.

"General Jianrong has also come..."

"That... that is the Scale race general Nuogao!"

"And the Tooth race general Xuebai; I had seen him from afar at the Tooth race's ancestor worship ceremony!"

At this moment, as more and more Demon general auras appeared, the entire Jade Garden was filled with fierce collision sounds.

The Humans who were responding properly just now were all entangled at this moment, and Yan Chuan and the Mountain and Sea Pavilion elder even had to face two people alone.

And those Immortal Sect prodigies fought with those two-race death soldiers who didn't care about life and death, and at the same time had to join forces to fight the Demon generals. Blades, swords, and blood light constantly appeared, and their heartstrings were tightened to the extreme.

*Boom! *

The loud noise was deafening.

In the night sky where sinking waves and broken snow rolled, a heavy iron blade slashed down. Huo Hong, who also killed a Demon general, blocked in shock. Although his spiritual energy was constantly operating, he was still slashed away fiercely.

A female Demon general with a pale face and a slender waist held a blade and landed, then swung the blade forward and slashed wildly, waving her hand to split the bamboo forest in front of her, but her brow furrowed, finding that Huo Hong's figure was gone.

Just at this moment, a sword Qi soared into the sky. Yan Chuan slashed at the two Demon generals in front of him and then returned the sword to slash, forcing the female Demon general back ten feet.

"Why can't even one be killed!?"

The Scaly Clan leader narrowed his eyes: "They have formed a triangular formation among themselves, with the old leading the young, providing cover for one another."

The Tooth race leader clenched his fists, anger rising in his eyes.

The plan for tonight was a sudden assassination, so that the water spilled could not be recovered. Who would have thought that they would miss the opportunity from the first step, so that they were dragged down fiercely.

"His Majesty hates it most when others make decisions for him. Mule, I am not afraid of punishment, but I am afraid of falling short of success."

The sudden assassination where water spilled could not be recovered could exclude an answer for His Majesty in a situation where people were caught off guard.

But if they couldn't kill, it was very likely that they would push the Demon Emperor to another answer.

At this moment, the wind and snow did not stop, and the fighting spirit was like fire.

The Scale race leader was silent, but at this moment, the Tooth race leader was slightly stunned, feeling a wisp of breeze sneaking into the night.

Among the Human race, the Demon race, and the Barbarian race, the Human race is the weakest race. Compared with the other two races, the Human race lacks not only physical strength but also racial talent.

And among the many talents of the Demon race, some are best at assassination, such as this Demon general named General Shu He.

If it is about combat power, he can only be ranked at the bottom with his ability, but if it is really a fight to decide the outcome and life and death, he will inevitably be in the top three.

Because he is fast and silent.

Once many things are done to the extreme, they will become very terrible.

For example, his extreme speed and hiding ability.

Tonight, this situation, killing one is equivalent to killing a group, there is no difference, and what he needs to do is to enter the Jade Garden, kill at least one, and preferably kill everyone.

At this moment, General Shu He crawled under the night, bypassed the courtyard where the fighting was constant, avoided countless sword Qi and blade light, and entered the West Courtyard like a ghost, the short blade in his hand blooming with sharp cold light.

He seemed to have smelled the taste of blood and felt the fear emitted by those facing death.

At this moment, General Shu He narrowed his eyes, looking at the figures reflected by the flickering candlelight through the window, his right hand slightly accumulating strength, ready to harvest the life in the room.

But just at this moment, his scalp suddenly went numb, and his entire spirit began to tighten uncontrollably.

In an instant, his instinct made him retreat rapidly without thinking, and he saw a spirit sword whistling over, slashing fiercely at the position he had stood before, cutting a deep gully on the frozen ground.

"?!"

Demon general General Shu He was shocked, turned his head to look, and found a figure standing on the roof, his eyes shining brightly, locking onto his figure, those bright golden eyes like dazzling underworld lamps.
