Hunting God Era

Chapter 123: I never intended for you to live.
A profound silence fell over the surroundings.

Everyone stared blankly at Li Ye, who was surrounded by black energy and looked like a ferocious tiger. They were completely stunned and had no idea what to do.

Click, click.
They were awakened by the distinctive chewing sound.

They looked toward the snake demon, where the enormous snake head was swaying up and down, and there were obvious signs of something struggling inside its mouth.

But because of this, the snake demon's attention was focused on swallowing what was in its mouth, and it didn't pay much attention to the other martial artists.

Food transformed from demons is highly nourishing for martial artists.

Martial artists with profound qi and blood are also attractive to demons.

Bang bang bang!

A martial artist at the Dragon Gate Realm gripped the cave wall with one hand, raised his submachine gun with the other, and pulled the trigger, aiming it at the snake demon's head.

The gunpowder, propelled by the bullets, pierced several small gashes on the snake demon's mineral head.

This time, however, the snake demon did not deal with the martial artist; instead, it focused on digesting the martial artist it was eating.

call out!
Upon seeing this, a second-realm martial artist sprang up from the rock wall he was clinging to and swooped down towards the snake demon diagonally below, slashing at the snake demon's coiled heart with his blade.

Threatened, the snake demon finally moved, its body slithering to block the blade's slash aimed at its heart.

when!
As the flying stones slashed a gash in the snake demon's body, they also cut a gash in its heart, but the snake demon quickly repaired it with its own body.

The opening created by the snake demon was repaired by constantly absorbing ore from the mine.

"kill!"

Once someone set the precedent, others followed suit and rushed toward the heart.

Whether they can win or not is unknown, but if this drags on, once the snake demon has digested that second-realm cultivator, one of them will definitely be next.

When Li Ye looked over, everyone felt like they were the next one to be thrown into the snake's mouth. No one dared to gamble, so they had no choice but to go for it.

Even Chen Hualong was not confident that Li Ye could keep him alive, so they could only follow Li Ye's advice and deal with the heart first.

Demons are inhuman; they may be clever and cunning, but in the end, they all become instincts.

Even a demon as clever as the Painted Skin demon will still reveal its true nature and act according to its instincts when faced with a threat to its survival.

The snake demon did the same. Faced with the attack, it instinctively coiled its body around its heart, causing its body to tremble and release a large number of mineral fragments. More waves also burst forth from its heart.

However, it did not give up on the person in its mouth and continued to swallow. With its attention diverted, the attack, though fierce, was not as ferocious as expected.

Especially with Chen Hualong present, his unrestrained use of true essence sword energy slowed down the snake demon's movements, giving the martial artists more opportunities to attack.

If it were a snake demon's body, it would have dissipated and collapsed under this attack long ago, but at this moment no one dared to fight, and could only desperately attack.

"not good!"

One of the second-stage cultivators overexerted himself, his energy failing to circulate properly. Coupled with the fatigue caused by the intense attack, he fell to the ground, his legs trapped by the surging waves of ore.

The snake demon flung out fragments, which it launched directly at the man.

"Roar!!"

But just then, a loud roar suddenly rang out from behind, shaking the second-realm martial artist so much that his head almost exploded, but also scattering the ore fragments that were shooting in front.

The martial artist turned around and saw Li Ye swiftly approaching, and couldn't help but show a look of joy.

"Thanks"

"Thank you too soon!"

Li Ye pressed down on his head mid-air, forcefully pulling him up and then flinging him towards the snake's mouth.

Just as the snake demon had finished digesting the person in its mouth, it saw another martial artist with strong blood and energy flying over, and instinctively opened its mouth and swallowed him as well.

But it also gave other martial artists more room to maneuver.

Li Ye's sudden attack spurred the martial artists to attack even more frantically, and they dared not even think about conserving their energy.

This time it was lucky that someone got hurt first, but the next time might be different.

His gaze only made everyone think they were next.

The fighting was fierce and many warriors were killed, but the snake demon's heart was beginning to break down too quickly.

The warrior's attacks were too dense, gradually causing more and more cracks to appear on the snake demon's heart, and the gaps became more and more prominent. The snake demon also became more agitated, and its attacks became increasingly fierce.

Chen Hualong slashed out with his sword, aiming straight for the snake's head. The sword energy pierced through the snake's head and headed straight for the heart below, cutting a huge crack in the heart.

boom!
At the same time, he was struck in the chest and abdomen by a tail, flying straight back and crashing hard into the rock wall, creating a large dent.

"It was so close!"

Chen Hualong roared, "Attack along that crack!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining martial artists continued to use their lightness skills to launch a collective attack on the heart rift.

"Om!!"

This time, the serpent demon no longer coiled around the heart, but instead hovered above it. With a roar, it not only shot out fragments but also generated a large amount of dust.

Those martial artists who were close to the heart and were hit were made to move even more with the dust covering them. Those at the Dragon Gate Realm were covered in a layer of mineral skin, and even with their blood and qi, they could not change it.

However, the dust caused the snake demon to break apart piece by piece, clearly unable to hold on any longer.

"Have it!"

Chen Hualong forcefully regulated his breathing, flew out of the depression, and rushed straight to his heart like a meteor.

His eyes were filled with joy, and he was about to pierce the heart with his sword.

His strenuous efforts, besides being motivated by Li Ye's threat, might also stem from a desire to kill the snake demon and try to retrieve the token again. The snake demons he'd fought before had restored him, but this one, attacking his heart, seemed different.

If we can really kill him, then having the token is a gain!

call!
Just as Chen Hualong reached above his heart, a strange, malevolent wind suddenly appeared nearby, startling him and causing him to freeze in shock, as if he had encountered a new form of pollution.

A blurry figure solidified beside him in an instant, black energy swirling around his palm as he slammed it down hard towards his heart.

It was Li Ye!

Chen Hualong wasn't the only one watching the snake demon; he was watching it too.

He observed more carefully than Chen Hualong and understood that this demon was probably approaching its critical point.

This demon is unusual; it might even be a god.

Then it'll be harvest time!

The black palm descended, accompanied by a chilling gust of wind, striking down with a single blow.

"Dragon and Tiger Clash: Thunderous Sound Great Evil Hand Seal!"

With a thud, the wind howled and the thunder roared, striking the heart with a loud bang and shattering it into dust.

Amidst the dust, the snake demon's head jerked upwards, its body disintegrating into fragments that scattered like rain.

Amidst the scattered debris, a glowing object appeared and fell downwards.

"its mine!"

Chen Hualong reached out and grabbed it.

Bang! !

Just as he showed a hint of joy, a palm emanating black energy and accompanied by thunderous sounds struck his crown, instantly turning his upper body into dust.

The glowing object also landed in that palm.

"It's neither a token nor a deity."

Li Ye waved his hand, blowing away a stream of air that scattered the fragments and dust.

The object in my hand is a small heart, but it is made of an unknown metal.

He didn't sense any authorization from here.

The keepsake didn't explode, but...
"A magic weapon?"

A smile crept onto Li Ye's lips as he concealed his heart and blasted a nearby martial artist into dust with a single palm strike.

"Li Ye, what are you doing!"

Only then did the surviving martial artists realize what was happening.

"It's such a simple matter, of course it's collective punishment."

Li Ye laughed and said, "I'm threatening your whole family, but one day you'll come after my whole family too. I can't expect my parents to go on vacation every day, and besides, it's useless. If they want to find someone, they can find them anywhere."

"Especially the Chen family, many of them died. Rather than waiting for you to recover and take revenge on me, it's better to be direct."

He snarled, "If I kill you all, I'll have no more enemies!"

From the moment he sent these people into the Demon Realm, he never intended for them to live.

To avoid repeating the mistakes of one's master.

"Li Ye, you broke your promise!"

At this moment, Luo Jin, covered in wounds, charged straight at Li Ye, slashing with his sword, shouting, "I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Without even looking, Li Ye struck out with his murderous palm, first shattering the sword blade, then piercing Luo Jin's chest and turning him into dust.

"I said I wouldn't bother you if you lived, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill you."

Li Ye scoffed, "Become a ghost? Martial artists have no right to become ghosts. You're lucky you can be reincarnated. If you're still a human in your next life, remember to abide by the law."

Zhong Chang's statement that any martial artist in Jinze City could be killed was not without reason.

In recent years, the martial artists in Jinze City have become too arrogant, and one by one they have gone too far. Take Luo Jin, for example. His crime is not as serious as Liu Huda's, who was the first to wipe out his entire family, but it is still not small.

Although they knew the boundaries and didn't cause any major impact, Li Ye still couldn't stand it.

In fact, leaving a few survivors can also instill fear, and they will be more cooperative with the disinfection department in the future.

But killing them wouldn't be a problem.

In comparison, Li Ye still felt it was better to avoid future troubles.

Otherwise, if something unexpected really happens, it will be too late for him to regret it.

Since Director Pan has led us down this path, and we're going to see it through to the end, it's best to be decisive.

It's better for someone else's whole family to die than for his whole family to die.

Li Ye wasn't worried about the martial arts circle in Jinze City. When a niche disappears, someone will naturally fill it.

Newcomers will naturally understand the principles.

The principles constructed using the minds of all the martial artists in Kanazawa City should be even more striking.

　Sigh, I'll take a nap and update later. Also, I need to adjust my sleep schedule and try to maintain a consistent update schedule.
