The Great Seminary

Chapter 392 Killing is as easy as mowing grass
Chapter 392
The giant who fell from the sky was none other than Zhang Gui.

Although many of his divine powers have collapsed, he has not lost any of his supernatural abilities. When combined with each other, his most prominent characteristic remains that he can kill mobs as easily as cutting weeds.

Although one cannot freely wield 'illusion and reality' in the heavens, and have one's words become law, the life and death of thousands of demons are only a thought away.

But with just a few moves, he could take down a 'small fry' without any difficulty whatsoever.

However, unlike the last time we went down into the underground cave, once we gained an absolute advantage in the battle...
Whether it's the flying Black Wind Bat, White Wind Bat, Leopard Phoenix Bee, or the Nine-tongued Tiger on the ground, they will all eventually scatter and flee in different ways.

The more he relentlessly attacked, the more demons would swarm him, risking their lives in a desperate assault.

Finally, its enormous body was covered with all sorts of earth demons.

One, two... or even a hundred or eighty... it doesn't matter, but a lot of ants can kill an elephant.

As time went on, and the remains of the dead demons began to engulf Zhang Gui's lower body, his movements finally became sluggish.

After a pause, countless wisps of steam suddenly emanated from the pores of his body, forcefully shooting out hundreds of feet.

Then, extreme cold suddenly arrived.

The heatwave transformed into terrifying frost, instantly turning countless demons into ice sculptures.

The Nine-tongued Tiger and similar creatures could barely take shape, but the Leopard Phoenix Bee and the Black Wind Bat were simply blown away by a breeze and shattered into dry powder!
This was repeated three times until the demon finally retreated.

Moreover, they left cleanly and swiftly, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"This is clearly not an animalistic attack, but a war operation directed by intelligent beings."

After the enemy was defeated, Zhang Gui returned to his normal human form and made a judgment in his mind.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a hurricane, which swept around Jinhuang Town and revealed several narrow but bottomless fissures in the ground.

Of course, the 'narrow and long' here also means that the width is more than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

It's large enough for quickly 'deploying troops', even for ordinary earth demons.

"Ma Dan, it seems that the 'Great Era of Contention' has entered a new phase."

The human-headed worms I saw at the Tzu Chi Association before, those that gave birth to intelligent, brainless earthworms, and brainless giant worms.

Phosphorus-free earthworms are able to herd and command their unintelligent kin.

But I've never heard of doing this across species.

"Da Qi is an idiot. What time is it? Why hasn't he revealed all the extraordinary knowledge about the Hundred Races of Earth Demons? What is he thinking..."

Having made up his mind, he sighed dejectedly and, feigning sophistication, began collecting the remaining remains of the Earth Demons.

After a short while, the city gates opened wide, and a group of defeated soldiers poured out.

A tall man dressed in a Taoist robe with Bagua symbols quickly approached Zhang Gui, bowed, and said:

"General Huang Qi of Jinhuang Town has seen the 'Great Power' in person. Without your esteemed presence to save him..."

"I am merely a Class C extraordinary being, although my ancestral bloodline is magnificent and my own awakened divine essence is complete."

To put it bluntly, his strength is exceptionally powerful, but I would never presume to call myself a 'great power'.

As for saving you, firstly, the great struggle between the demons and the earth is currently underway, and as fellow human beings, mutual support and assistance is a matter of great righteousness;
Secondly, I ventured out of the Northern Sect of the Three Holy Swords to kill Black and White Wind Fiend Bats, Nine-Tongue Tigers, Leopard Phoenix Bees, etc., to create wondrous items.

After searching for two days without success, I've come across so many today, so naturally I have to test their 'quality'.

Unfortunately, they only managed to defeat the earth demon using the 'Winter' secret technique, but then they couldn't worry about the 'harvest' anymore.

Zhang Gui shook his head and interrupted Huang Qigua, sighing as he spoke.

Huang Qigua immediately patted his chest and said:
"Since you reside within the sect's mountain gate, you are no outsider, and you have saved the lives of everyone in our city."

Obtaining Earth Demon materials like the Leopard Phoenix Bee, Black Wind Fiend Bat, and White Wind Fiend Bat is not difficult. We fought the Earth Demons for a long time, suffering heavy casualties but also gaining some valuable resources.

Aside from the Nine-tongued Tiger, a large and ferocious beast with thick hide, which is relatively rare, the rest should satisfy your respect.

"No matter how much or how little, just a little will do." Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui's expression brightened considerably. "Thank you very much, General Huang."

He didn't even know what a 'General of Half a Thousand' was.

Moreover, there are only sects and no states in the underground world, so theoretically there shouldn't be a title like 'General'.

It's likely that Huang Qigua either self-appointed or 'mistakenly claimed' his ancestor's title...

Joe said it was an ancient custom.

It means that if one's ancestors received a certain 'title' or rank, one's descendants can still claim that title even if they have fallen on hard times.

For example, Zhang Gui is the ruler of the Stone Corpse Kingdom in the 'human world'. If he were to actually move to the 'underground realm', he would completely lose his homeland and state.

Even if his descendants never saw the so-called 'Stone Corpse Kingdom' in their entire lives, they could still 'pretend' to be the rulers of the Stone Corpse Kingdom for generations.

Of course, 'royal power' is special.

It's acceptable for ancestors to call themselves rulers or emperors of a certain country; at least it's not shameful.

But to still be using a mere general's rank as a pretentious title is like a pig sticking a scallion in its nose—truly putting on airs...

For Zhang Gui, Huang Qigua was merely a 'prop' used as a smokescreen.

I don't care if it's a pig or an elephant.

Huang Qigua showed unusual gratitude and respect to Zhang Gui. Seeing the storage bag in his hand, he said in a hoarse voice, "Compared to the grace of saving my life, what are a few external things?"

"Your Excellency is weary from the battles; please come into the city for a feast and rest. I will have my men carefully prepare and present these demonic materials outside."

"Well then, thank you very much." Zhang Gui laughed heartily and finally returned the greeting.

Led by Huang Qigua himself, they strolled into Jinhuang Town.

Although the town was not ravaged by the earth demon, the market was also demolished in pieces in order to repair the city walls.

After walking through several long streets, we finally arrived at the 'Naval Base' and it began to resemble the extravagant scene of the peaceful and prosperous times of the past.

Of course, no matter how decent a small town may be, it could not possibly be taken seriously by the true dragon emperor, who is the emperor of overseas and the leader of hundreds of millions of common people.

However, everyone carried the bridal sedan chair.

Since Huang Qigua had been unusually polite since they met, Zhang Gui couldn't keep up his haughty attitude forever.

Looking up at the 'Naval Headquarters', with its ebony facade painted crimson lacquer and adorned with large gold studs, I casually remarked:
"Jinjiang is a land of convenient water conservancy and prosperity. General Huang has a good foundation."

Unexpectedly, this statement revealed his weakness. Huang Qigua was stunned upon hearing this, and the expressions of the surrounding crowd also became strange.

Zhang Guiduo's mind is very sharp.

Upon seeing this, they immediately realized that something had gone wrong, but since they had no idea where they went wrong, they didn't know how to make amends for the time being.

Looking around, he sensed a hint of disdain in the gazes directed at him, leaving him even more bewildered.

First came distress, then a sinister glint unconsciously rose in my heart.
"Even if I save a dog, I know to wag my tail, but when I save a person, it's like I did something wrong and I don't get any credit."

Today is truly a day of bad luck. First, those trashy guys from the 'Three Holy Swords' plotted against my secret realm without any prior grudge.

Then, the trash in Jinhuang Town inexplicably looked down on me.

Is this someone who's been saved but is still rushing to die...?
