Chapter 36

These are the demon clan, the ones who caused the destruction of my family and with whom I fought all my life in my previous life!

But why are the demon clan here?

According to the logic, the invasion by the demon clan wouldn't start until a year later, so why are they here now?

"You demon clan remnants dare to ambush me, you're just asking for death!"

Suddenly, a clear whistle sounded, and the white figure in the center, surrounded by the demon clan, leaped up. In the darkness, it struck downward, and dozens of sword beams shot out like strands of milky white silk.

"Flower Rain Sword? The sword technique of the City Lord's residence? Could it be Luo Qingcheng?"

Seeing this sword technique, Nie Yun's eyes immediately lit up, recalling a stubborn girl from his previous life.

This girl was named Luo Qingcheng, the daughter of City Lord Luo Zhanhao of Luoshui City!

In his previous life, the entire Luoshui City was invaded by the demon clan, and he managed to escape with Nie Tong's help. During a trial organized by the royal family of the Divine Wind Empire, he met this girl named Luo Qingcheng!

When the two realized they were both from Luoshui City, they began to appreciate each other. They helped each other during the trial, overcoming the difficulties together and achieving the top rank in the trial!

After that, they didn't fall into the cliché of developing a one-night stand or anything like that; instead, they parted ways and had no further contact.

Later, when Nie Yun stood at the pinnacle of the world, with a wide network of information, he learned that this girl had died in a battle against the demon clan after leaving him, completely falling.

It wasn't that he had any particular feelings for this girl, but her sharp and decisive nature left a deep impression on him. Plus, being a fellow survivor from Luoshui City, she naturally felt a sense of familiarity upon meeting!

"Indeed, it's her. No matter what, I have to save her!"

Thinking this, his eyes, aided by the brilliant starlight, fell on the girl's face, and sure enough, it was the sharp and capable figure from his previous life!

At this moment, Luo Qingcheng's face looked more youthful, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beauty that truly lived up to her name,倾国倾城 (Qingcheng, meaning 'captivating the nation')!

"Hehe, you're only at the initial stage of the Fifth Level of the Qi Sea Realm, the same as me. With so many of us, how long do you think you can hold out?"

The Flower Rain Sword is a low-grade noble martial technique. When used alone, its power is still considerable, but when striking with over a dozen swords at once, it's hard to cause significant damage to the demon clan. The demons dodged the attack, and the leading demon at the initial stage of the Qi Sea Realm immediately let out an excited cry.

"How long can you hold out? Hmph, I think it's you who won't last long!"

Luo Qingcheng's attack missed, and her face immediately showed signs of anxiety. Her voice also sounded urgent as she flicked her long sword again, sending a sword beam straight at the speaking demon.

At the Fifth Level of the Qi Sea Realm, true qi can leave the body to form sword beams or blade beams, significantly increasing combat power. At the initial stage, the sword beam can only extend about ten meters, with limited power. At the middle stage, it can extend fifty meters, and at the late stage, one hundred meters. At the peak of the late stage, the attack range reaches about two hundred meters!

Luo Qingcheng was clearly only attacking within a ten-meter range, and the speed of the sword beam wasn't particularly fast. It was clear that she was not only at the initial stage of the Qi Sea Realm but had probably just entered it not long ago!

"Hehe!"

The demon didn't dodge when the sword beam came, but instead, let out a sinister laugh and grabbed forward with bamboo-like fingers. A murky demonic aura instantly swallowed the sword beam.

"Do you think you can be our match? You're thinking too simply!"

The demon suddenly twisted his fingers, and the sword beam that had been swallowed shot out, hitting the girl's arm!

Clang!

Struck by her own sword beam, Luo Qingcheng's long sword immediately fell to the ground, and a splash of blood appeared on her arm.

"You are despicable! Do you know who I am? If you dare to harm me, you will face the fierce retaliation of Luoshui City!"

With her long sword fallen and her arm injured, the girl's face immediately turned pale. She took a few steps back and shouted hoarsely.

"Who are you? Hehe, aren't you Luo Zhanhao's daughter, Luo Qingcheng? If not, we wouldn't have acted yet!" The demon seemed to already know the girl's identity, his sinister laugh tinged with excitement.

"Bind her! If Luo Zhanhao hands over the item, it's fine. If not, we'll just kill her!" The demon gave an order.

"Kill her? Boss, this woman has such smooth skin. Can we have some fun before we kill her?"

"Yeah, I heard human women have a fragrant scent, especially when they're doing it. The scent is the strongest then, and it's a real treat. We can't kill this woman; I want to play with her for a few years. Even if she dies, it would be worth it!"

The two demons also laughed, drooling as they spoke.

"Hehe, you've made me a bit itchy. Fine, you catch her first. After I'm done, I'll let you have your turn!"

The first demon nodded and gestured.

"Great!" The two speaking demons, hearing their boss agree, jumped up excitedly, their eyes like those of wolves, and pounced on the girl.

"Ahh... No!"

Luo Qingcheng, who had never seen such a scene, was so frightened that she trembled all over and forgot to dodge.

Bang! Bang!

However, before the two demons could reach her, their heads suddenly burst open, exploding into a mess in the air.

"Who is it?"

Only after the two demons died did everyone realize that a figure had appeared among them, and these two were killed by him!

It was Nie Yun who acted!

"Who is it? Hehe, the Blood Hell Demon Lord you all fear like venomous snakes and scorpions!"

With a long cry, Nie Yun revealed his reputation from his previous life, and his figure, like a phantom, rushed toward the nearby demons who were still in shock.

When shooting, aim for the horse; when capturing, aim for the leader. This is the human way of dealing with humans. When dealing with the demon clan, you must do the opposite!

First, kill the weaker minions, then the stronger ones. This prevents the weaker ones from pouncing on you while you're fighting the stronger ones, causing you trouble!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nie Yun had just advanced to the middle stage of the True Qi Realm, and the true qi in his Qi Sea was even broader than the waves of the Luoshui River, surging out in waves. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen demons fell to the ground, dead!

The reason he could kill these demons so quickly wasn't because his strength had increased again, but because he had killed so many demons in his previous life and knew their weaknesses all too well. Often, a single move would hit the vital point, causing them to die instantly!

"You... who are you? How do you know the vital points of our demon clan! You must die!"

The first demon, who had thought his subordinates could kill the weak boy in front of him, was enraged to see them all turn into corpses in the blink of an eye. His eyes immediately turned red.

"Trouble, demonization! It's actually demonization! Retreat quickly!"

Seeing the demon's eyes turn red, Nie Yun's heart tightened. Without hesitation, he moved to Luo Qingcheng, grabbed her hand, and turned to flee.
