Chapter 149: Chapter 94: The Chaos of Demon Fiends (3)
Panic swept through the Imperial Hospital.
Here.
There weren’t many Cultivators.
"All Medical Officers, assemble! Hide in the cellar!" a Medical Officer shouted.
In an instant.
All the Medical Officers gathered and rushed toward the cellar.
"Xu Ge, the newly promoted Imperial Physician, Xu Ge... I think he’s still in the courtyard," someone pointed out.
"Who cares about him? Just let him die."
"Hurry up and run!"
Some were terrified. Their fear of the Demon Fiends made them shove their way forward.
BOOM!
The stone door of the cellar slammed shut.
At the same time, a pig-headed Demon Fiend, gnawing on the head of a Palace Maid with human blood dripping from its mouth, led a host of armored Demon Fiends swaggering in this direction.
"Hahaha."
"Time to feast!"
"A grand feast!"
"I already scouted this place out. This is the Imperial Hospital. They’re all weaklings. The strongest is no more than a Second Grade cultivator. But their flesh and blood have all been nourished by Treasure Medicines—pure essence. A great supplement for us..."
The pig-headed Demon Fiend laughed heartily.
"Hahaha!"
The other Demon Fiends laughed as well.
However, the Imperial Hospital was empty. They had long since fled without a trace.
Only one small courtyard still had its lights on.
A lone figure was there.
Dressed in white as pure as snow.
Gazing at the moon.
"Just one member of the Human Race, and so skinny. How are we supposed to split this? He’s not even enough to get stuck in our teeth," the pig-headed Demon Fiend grumbled.
It stepped forward, about to twist Su Chen’s head off and eat it like a peanut, CRUNCH CRUNCH.
Su Chen raised his eyes, but not to look at it. He was looking outside the Imperial Palace, at the terrifying Great Demon Fiend that stood there like a mountain.
The power of Demon Mountain was so great that it had forced the Celestial Alliance, formed by the Ancient Grandmasters, to withdraw from the world and leave the Imperial City.
Demon Mountain, in turn, was wary of the peak-level Ancient Immortals and the supreme experts of the Innate Realm hidden in the Human World.
Thus, the three sides had a pact.
Grandmasters would not act.
At most, First Grade experts would contend.
The Court dispatched General Yan, a Grandmaster, to lead a hundred thousand troops to encircle and annihilate the Demon Fiends in three fallen territories, breaking this tacit agreement.
And so.
Demon Mountain also dispatched a lineup of equal measure.
A Great Demon Fiend, leading a hundred thousand Demon Fiends, crossed rivers to launch a surprise attack on the Imperial City, intending to bathe the Imperial Palace in blood...
"If you leave now, you can still live."
Su Chen was speaking.
Not to the pig-headed Demon Fiend, but to that strongest Demon Fiend, the one comparable to a Sub-Innate.
"Huh?"
The pig-headed Demon Fiend scratched its ear. It looked down at this smooth-skinned, tender-fleshed member of the Human Race who only came up to its knee, and gave a savage grin.
"Are you talking to me?" the Demon Fiend sneered, its hand twisting toward Su Chen’s head.
Nearby.
There were many armored Demon Fiends. One of them, seeing the unperturbed Su Chen, was startled. It hastily flipped through a secret scroll to look up this person.
But after getting a clear look at the intelligence on him, it revealed a scornful and mocking expression.
Xu Ge.
Hundred Leaks Body.
Just an ordinary person.
A mere Medical Officer.
’To think I was almost bluffed by him.’
"This person can be killed!"
It nodded at the pig-headed Demon Fiend leader.
"Hahaha!"
"Die!" the pig-headed Demon Fiend roared.
The next instant, blood splattered everywhere.
Unfortunately.
It wasn’t Su Chen’s.
Blood stained the snow red.
It was like a rain of blood had fallen.
Su Chen, holding an umbrella, patted the Little Turtle and said a word.
"Watch the house."
With that said, he walked out toward the Palace Gate.
In the courtyard.
The pig-headed Demon Fiend, along with more than ten other First and Second Grade Demon Fiends, were all frozen in place.
SPLATTER.
It was as if they had been cut by an unseen, sharp blade.
In an instant.
The area was littered with nothing but pieces of Demon Corpses.
In the courtyard, Su Chen, in his snow-white robes, walked with his umbrella, not a single drop of blood on him. He passed by the figure holding the secret scroll, who was paralyzed with absolute terror.
’Disguised as a Demon Fiend?’
’A Zhou Person?’
’Why bother.’
Their figures passed each other.
This Zhou Person died as well.
As he walked out of the courtyard, Su Chen was no longer Xu Ge.
His snow-white robes were dyed the color of ink, and a bamboo-and-wood token hung from his waist.
Clad in robes as black as ink.
Umbrella in hand.
The Imperial City was soaked in blood, its creatures plunged into misery and suffering. Cries of despair and horrifying screams were everywhere.
Su Chen arrived before the Palace Gate and looked at the mountain-like Sub-Innate Great Demon Fiend that exuded a terrifying pressure.
"The conflicts of the Human Race, the struggles between Dynasties... what does any of that have to do with Demon Mountain?"
"Why have you come down from the mountain to disturb the Human World?"
"Withdraw."
"And you may yet live."
