Demon King's Repayment - chapter 167

Dushuo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and made a gesture. The group stopped immediately, and squatted and hid in the tall grass.

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the forest of stone statues, and a slender little demon rushed out of the jungle in a hurry. Almost at the same time, a huge crimson demon rushed out from behind a God statue with a gust of wind. The huge palm held down the little demon who was running away in a hurry. With a screaming sound, the head was bitten by the red demon, and it was torn in half.

The red blood splashed at the foot of the statue, the demon’s fat body turned away from Yuan Xiang and others, squatting on the ground and making a creepy chewing sound.

The bloody scene was not over yet, but Yuan Xiang discovered that a little girl with human appearance was standing silently on the head of the stone statue. The girl’s expression was indifferent. Holding a long sharp sword, she looked down at the demon under her feet.

It was the terrifying Lord Tu Shan.

The crimson demon seemed to sense something, and slowly stopped the movement in his hand, rolled his eyes like copper bells, and slowly raised his head. The moment he saw the girl above his head, he quickly loosened his hand. The fat body bounced off the ground with unexpected agility, and ran out.

The slender and small body of the girl jumped up from the statue, the icy sword light flashed in the air, and the huge red head of the demon rolled into the grass. 

She cleaned off the blood on the knife and turned her head to look exactly in the direction where Yuan Xiang and others were hiding.

“Come and face death.” She had clear and beautiful eyes, but at a glance, Yuan Xiang had goosebumps on her back. She had the feeling of being stared at by an ancient beast. She almost had to grit her teeth to restrain the instinctual fear that had arisen in her heart.

Nan He and Dushuo both turned into huge demons at that moment, and they both blocked in front of her, protecting Yuan Xiang, Hu Qing and Wu Yuan behind them.

“Oh, in this realm, are there any who dares to disobey me?” The girl stood on the huge demon’s head and raised the snow blade in her hand in the wind.

Just as the battle was about to break out, she suddenly stared at Dushuo’s back for a moment.

“Huh? Such a young fellow?” Tu Shan’s little mask-like face suddenly had an expression. Her eyes curled up, and she raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, “Hehehe, so cute, I haven’t seen such a small face for a long time. Then, for your sake, I will forgive you today.”

She left these inexplicable words, took the huge red head, and flew into the sky with bare feet. Her figure quickly changed in the clouds, so small that it gradually became invisible.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

After the fight, a lot of vines wrapped around the stone statue fell off, revealing the stone statue’s pitiful face.

“These are all ancient Gods worshiped by human beings. I have seen with my own eyes that human beings spent a lot of effort building these Gods and worshiped them devoutly every day. I thought they would worship their Gods like that forever,” Hu Qing ran all the way to see the large and small statues hidden in the jungle.

“I can’t believe that it was only hundreds of years, and the humans in the floating world seem to have forgotten them all,” she sighed with emotion.

“It’s not a bad thing to forget.” Dushuo slowed down and stood in front of the grass and trees waiting for her, “No longer will people be worried every day, and demons will no longer be called from time to time. They may just calm down and think about what they really are and what they want.”

“Aqing, come,” he stretched out his hand to his little fox.

“Well, I’m here, Lord Dushuo,” the fox swayed her nine fluffy tails and quickly crossed the wild grass and trees under the moonlight, transforming into a charming woman.

“Are human beings really so forgetful? Then in another one or two thousand years, will the human beings in the floating world completely forget our existence in this world?” Wu Yuan said in Yuan Xiang’s ear with disappointment, “It’s a waste of me to like them so much.”

Yuan Xiang rubbed his little head, “Unfortunately, it seems to be the case.”

After a thousand years, no one could tell what kind of survival mode human beings would become, but Yuan Xiang knew clearly. The so-called demons, ghosts and Gods would become legendary stories in that era, and the world was very different. Human beings were the masters of that world completely.

“Ah Xiang, this is a good thing for human beings, right?” Nan He looked up at the Sirius star that had just risen in the sky, recalling the clansmen who had moved far away due to the thinness of aura, “Spiritual Qi in the floating world is decreasing. Demons, ghosts and Gods are gradually disappearing, and humans could live and work in peace and contentment, without disturbing each other. It is indeed a good thing for fragile humans.”
