122: Chapter 122 The Demon Slayer Breaks the Enemy's Blockade, Seizes Resources, and Plans a New Scheme

The bull-horned brute walked to a secluded corner deep in the valley, leaned his back against a massive black rock, and unbuckled his belt.

He was humming an unknown, vulgar Yao Race tune, clearly in a good mood, completely unaware that the Grim Reaper had already arrived silently.

Just as he let his guard down, preparing to relieve himself—

A tiny, imperceptible speck of Chaos starlight, as if having undergone Transmigration across the boundaries of space, appeared silently behind his head and touched him lightly.

Pfft.

A sound, extremely faint, as if a bubble had burst.

The expression on the bull-horned brute's face froze instantly; a trace of comfort and relaxation still lingered in his eyes before they quickly lost their luster.

A needle-point-sized blood spot appeared between his eyebrows; his Sea of Consciousness and Yao inner core were both completely shattered under the power of that finger strike.

His burly body slid down softly against the rock without making much of a sound.

"One down."

Ye Qing's figure emerged from the shadows like a ghost.

Without even looking at the bull-horned brute's corpse, he waved his hand, collecting the body along with the dropped Storage Pouch into his Cave Heaven World.

Then, he cast his gaze toward two other directions in the valley.

There, the black-feathered Eagle Yao commander and the alluring Snake Yao commander were each gathering their subordinates, preparing to set out to execute their blockade mission.

"One by one, to avoid alerting the others."

Ye Qing made up his mind, his figure merging back into the shadows as he quietly crept toward the direction of the black-feathered Eagle Yao commander.

The Eagle Yao commander was currently standing before a group of flying Yao generals, loudly lecturing them and assigning specific blockade routes and tasks.

He stood with his back to where Ye Qing was hiding, completely unaware that his immediate superior had become a cold corpse just a moment ago.

Ye Qing, like a phantom, silently approached within ten zhang behind the Eagle Yao commander.

This time, he did not use that silent finger power again.

Instead, he pressed his fingers together like a sword and slashed through the air toward the Eagle Yao commander's back.

A streak of Chaos Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme and nearly transparent, swept silently through the Void Realm like a viper emerging from its den.

The Eagle Yao commander's voice stopped abruptly.

The expression on his face still maintained the majesty and focus of his lecture, but his eyes instantly lost their focus.

A hair-thin bloodstain appeared from his back and quickly spread to his chest.

His body was completely destroyed from the inside by that invisible sword energy, and even his Primordial Spirit failed to escape.

Thud.

His body fell limply forward, slamming into the ground with a dull thud.

"Commander?!"

"Enemy attack!!"

Only then did the surrounding flying Yao generals react, and Chaos immediately erupted!

However, before they could make any effective response, Ye Qing's figure had already plunged into the crowd like a tiger into a flock of sheep!

He did not use any earth-shattering Divine Ability, but simply kept his fingers pressed like a sword, his figure moving like lightning, weaving and flickering among the flying Yao generals.

Every time his fingertip swept by, a blood spot would appear on a Yao general's forehead or throat, and then their eyes would dim as they fell to the ground, dead.

His movements were dazzlingly fast and as precise as art.

Those flying Yao generals with cultivation at the Golden Core Early to Middle Stage were like clay chickens and pottery dogs before him, unable to withstand even a single blow!

In less than ten breaths, the twenty-plus flying Yao generals gathered here were all dead, with no survivors!

The air was filled with a thick scent of blood.

Ye Qing flicked nonexistent blood from his fingers and cast his gaze toward the last direction in the valley.

There, the Snake Yao woman seemed to have noticed the commotion, and she was rushing over with a group of land Yao generals, her expression panicked.

When she saw the ground covered in the corpses of the flying Yao generals and Ye Qing standing with his hands behind his back like a god of slaughter, the allure and coldness on her face instantly turned into boundless fear and horror!

"You... who are you?!"

Her voice was sharp and trembling; she subconsciously took a few steps back, hiding behind the group of land Yao generals.

"The one sending you on your way."

Ye Qing's tone was flat, even carrying a hint of laziness.

He slowly raised his right hand and pressed it down through the air toward the Snake Yao woman and the group of land Yao generals behind her.

"sword, suppress."

An invisible and intangible, yet terrifying pressure that seemed capable of crushing the firmament, descended with a boom!

The Snake Yao woman and the dozens of land Yao generals behind her felt their bodies sink, as if suppressed by an invisible mountain; even lifting a finger became incredibly difficult!

Their faces were filled with extreme fear and despair!

This... what kind of strength is this?!

Nascent Soul?! Definitely a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

"No! You cannot kill me! I am under the command of Lord Iron-Winged Eagle King! If you kill me, Lord Eagle King will never let you go!" The Snake Yao woman let out a desperate scream, trying to use her background to scare Ye Qing away.

"Oh? Is that so? That's perfect, just let him come and find me."

Ye Qing's tone remained flat, but his eyes turned cold.

He lightly clenched the hand he had pressed down.

"Shatter."

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A series of teeth-gritting sounds of bones breaking rang out densely!

The Snake Yao woman and the dozens of land Yao generals behind her had their bodies crushed and ground from the inside as if by an invisible force, instantly twisting and deforming into blurry masses of flesh and blood!

They didn't even manage to scream before they all died!

Fresh blood stained the valley floor red, gathering into small streams that flowed away.

The entire valley fell into a deathly silence.

Only the thick scent of blood lingered in the air.

Ye Qing withdrew his hand and calmly swept his gaze over the wreckage filling the ground.

"If you cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze will make it grow again. Since I'm killing, I might as well finish the job."

He muttered to himself and began to clean up the battlefield.

Although these Yao generals did not have high cultivation, they were numerous, and their corpses, Yao inner cores, Storage Pouches, and Magical Artifacts added up to a not-insignificant fortune.

Adhering to the principle of "diligence and thrift," he scavenged all valuable items, sent them into the Cave Heaven World, and left them for the Cave Heaven to decompose and absorb.

After finishing all this, he carefully checked the valley again, confirming that no survivors or useful clues were left behind, and only then did he leave with satisfaction.

"Wiping out so many Yao generals at once, and killing three commanders—if that 'Iron-Winged Eagle King' finds out, he'll probably be so angry he'll vomit blood, right?"

He was in a great mood, even humming an unknown tune as he turned into a streak of escape light and flew toward Zhenbei City.

"The plan to blockade the main traffic route is ruined. Zhenbei City should be able to gain some extra preparation time. My mission this time can be considered overfulfilled."

"Go back, turn in the mission, collect the bounty, and see if there's anything else suitable to do. This Great Wilderness Region is getting more and more interesting."
