Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Page 395

It couldn't jump over the hundred-meter-high city wall, so Chu Yang had to use magic to make it fly up.

If Wangcai stays outside, it might be killed by the attacking demons. With such a strong human scent on it, the powerful demons will definitely know that it has recognized a master.

These past few days, Wangcai has worked hard without complaint, and it's time to reward it. Chu Yang took out a handful of blood bodhi seeds and stuffed them into its mouth, where the abundant blood energy transformed into power that flowed through its body.

Wangcai's dog eyes widened immediately.

Chu Yang laughed and said, "If you gave the food you gave to Li Gexiao, he would be back to his peak within a day. However, it would not be of any benefit to his martial arts."

"Losing his foundation also means that he can start from scratch, fill in the gaps in his previous work, and make his martial arts more complete."

"I never expected that Yan Nantian would suddenly appear out of nowhere and pass on the Wedding Dress Divine Skill to him..."

"It can only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate."

After swallowing the Blood Bodhi, Wangcai's fur became even shinier, and it wagged its tail eagerly, hoping that Chu Yang would give it another reward.

"Alright, don't be too greedy. If you eat too much, you'll get slaughtered, just like those pigs before the New Year."

Upon hearing this, Wangcai's tail froze instantly. The excitement it had just felt turned into panic.

Chu Yang smiled and looked out over the vast plains outside the city, watching the sun gradually disappear below the horizon.

Night falls.

The houses in the city were kept tightly shut, and everyone gathered around the dim lights to pray.

At that moment, people became the most loyal believers of all the gods and Buddhas.

Moonlight spilled onto the city gate, illuminating the darkness ahead along with the torches in the night.

The constables were nervously guarding the area around the demon-slaying crossbow; only this peerless weapon could give them a rare sense of security.

The cold wind suddenly became biting.

An unusual atmosphere was spreading in the air.

Pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, like will-o'-the-wisps, stared intently at Jinling City, their crimson gazes revealing greed.

Wangcai bared its fangs and stared fiercely ahead!

Chu Yang stroked its head.

"finally come!"

Chapter 186. Demon King! Devouring the Sea!

186.

On a desolate plain a hundred miles outside Jinling City, a large number of people who had fled Jinling City gathered. Most of them were high-ranking officials and their servants, and a few were merchants.

The servants and merchants had followed on foot, almost exhausting themselves.

Some people fell behind along the way, but no one waited for them; they were left to die in the wild.

Those who managed to keep up with the carriage didn't actually want to rest; they wanted to continue and enter the city as soon as possible.

Anyone with a little common sense knows how dangerous it is to be outdoors after dark.

But the young masters and ladies in the carriages didn't understand, especially the young Grand Secretary "Yan Shifan," who had never traveled such a long way before. When he came, he had traveled south by luxury boat and was served the best food and entertainment.

Now, however, he had to return by sedan chair, which was not only slow but also very bumpy, making it unbearable for Yan Shifan.

Even though he changed carriages halfway through, he was still so dizzy from the shaking that if they didn't stop, he might be shaken to death.

Yan Shifan didn't care how dangerous the wilderness was at night, because he was surrounded by experts who were well-known in the martial arts world.

After resting for a while, Yan Shifan's stomach growled, so he ordered his servants to start a fire and cook.

"Young Master, just bear with it, we'll be in the city soon. Let's make do with some dry rations for now. Starting a fire and cooking in the current situation would not only waste time but could also cause trouble..."

Yan Shifan was furious upon hearing this and roared, "The dry rations are hard and cold, is that something a human should eat? I've never eaten such coarse food in my life. Get someone to cook something right now. Didn't you take a cook with you when you left?"

The guard said helplessly, "Young Master, the cook hasn't come along..."

Enraged, Yan Shifan grabbed whatever was around him and started smashing it. He had come to Jinling City full of excitement, but this incident only added fuel to the fire. He was already seething with anger, and now that everything was going wrong, things only got worse.

The guard advised, "Young Master, we'll be entering the city soon. Let's eat something first and get going as soon as possible. The demon race is attacking the city like locusts; it's dangerous if we stay any longer."

Yan Shifan sneered, "My father spent so much money to hire you, but I didn't expect you to be a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death."

The guards, who were all from humble backgrounds, almost couldn't resist beating him up, but they suppressed their anger when they remembered that his father was Grand Secretary Yan, deciding it was better to avoid trouble.

The young Grand Secretary insisted on having something hot, so the others had no choice but to start a fire and cook. As the firelight shone, a little comfort finally appeared on the faces of the panicked people.

The blazing flames dispelled the chill in their hearts and bodies.

Fear appeared on some faces; they understood the trouble that lighting a fire in the dark would cause.

"Adults, you can't light fires in the wild. Those animals will come running as soon as they see the fire."

A middle-aged man with graying temples and a weathered appearance walked towards Yan Shifan's location.

The guards stopped him.

He continued to earnestly persuade them, saying, "Demons are not like wild beasts. Wild beasts may be scared away by wildfires, but demons know that the fire was started by humans, and they will definitely come looking for it."

Yan Shifan sneered, "We're already a hundred miles away from Jinling City. How could those demons possibly catch up, unless they can all fly..."

At this point, Yan Shifan suddenly paused.

Yes!

What if there's a flying monster?

Oops!

Realizing what was happening too late, Yan Shifan yelled at the others, "Stop cooking! Get out of here! Don't stop for a second!"

The high-ranking officials and nobles here have long stayed in the capital city, enjoying peace and prosperity, and know nothing about the demon race, because they have no need to know. Yan Shifan is no exception.

And those so-called expert guards didn't seem to have frequent contact with the demon race.

However, Yan Shifan was, after all, a junior Grand Secretary, and when he helped his father Yan Song handle government affairs, he would come into contact with some information and would know more than others.

Ignoring the inconvenience of the carriage, Yan Shifan scrambled up in a few quick steps, looking quite disheveled and completely unlike his usual elegance. When others saw him so agitated, their hearts skipped a beat.

The wealthy merchants were all shrewd individuals. Although they didn't know what was happening, they immediately urged their men to leave, and some even gave up part of the wealth on the carriages.

The merchants who had walked here all left the fire in terror, numbly following the departing caravan.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Yan Shifan stamped his feet anxiously in the carriage, and the guards, sensing his urgency, swung their whips even harder.

The horse, in pain, galloped forward wildly, as if it had gone mad.

Seeing the speed at which the carriage sped away, Yan Shifan, who had been sweating profusely, was finally able to sit down and catch his breath, his body limp like a deflated balloon.

After an unknown amount of time, the area around the convoy suddenly grew darker and darker, and the moonlight disappeared completely!

The guard sitting on the carriage shaft was puzzled, so he looked up at the sky and his pupils suddenly contracted.

A huge black shadow loomed over the sky, completely blocking out the moonlight!

"Young Grand Secretary, look up at the sky!" the guard cried out, trembling.

Yan Shifan trembled and quickly stuck his head out of the carriage. He looked at the sky and exclaimed, "What a huge bird!"

The guard smiled wryly and said, "That's a Roc! Its wingspan is at least five hundred feet, if not a thousand. With such a terrifying size, it's probably not an ordinary great demon."

Yan Shifan felt his vision go black, his legs went weak and he almost fell off the carriage. He stammered, "If it's not a great demon, then what is it?"

"Demon King!" The guard's face turned ashen. He closed his eyes resignedly and said miserably, "The Golden-Winged Roc King, one of the twelve Demon Kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

Demon King?

Yan Shifan was stunned and said, "Isn't the Demon King a legendary being? How come there really is a Demon King in the world? And I actually ran into one!"

Others who were unaware of the truth might still have the motivation to escape, but Yan Shifan was utterly despondent at this moment, slumped dejectedly in the carriage.

The dark shadow in the sky is slowly approaching.

After a while.

The entire caravan was swallowed by the shadows. Screams rang out and then vanished in an instant. The carriages and goods disappeared as if these people had never been there.

On the contrary, those who were abandoned by the convoy halfway through the journey managed to escape unscathed.

The survivors stared blankly at the terrifying black shadow that was gradually receding into the distance, a sense of helplessness and despair spreading through their hearts.

Can the human race really defeat such terrifying demons?

at the same time.

A hundred feet in front of Jinling City, there were already many demonic beasts standing.

Behind the demon beast is the spirit demon, behind the spirit demon is the great demon, and behind the great demon is a throne standing high in the sky!

The orderly arrangement reveals the strict hierarchy of the demon race.

The figure on the throne looked down at the city walls.

"one person?"
