Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

Almost a hundred Demon Generals gathered beneath the Demon Suppression statue, studying the secret within the statue, hoping that there would be a day when they could leave this prison.

The atmosphere in there was quite heavy and solemn. The Demon Generals had no interest in fighting one another. As they observed the Demon Suppression statue, their gazes would drift past the front of the statue from time to time.

A dishevelled, indifferent man sat there with his legs crossed. He had a strangely-shaped sword radiating with demon qi placed across his knees.

The sword was pitch-black like ink, but it was not completely straight. Instead, there were knobs, like it was a pagoda. It was almost three meters long, which made it obvious what kind of stature was required to wield a sword like that freely.

The strangest part of the sword was the guard and hilt. It was not made of gold, metal, rock, or wood, but a clump of coiled flesh and blood vessels. At the very centre was a bowl-sized eye, with only the whites of the eye and no iris. It was completely bloodshot, which made it seem extremely eerie.

The other Demon Generals all remained a few meters away from him, afraid to get any closer. They even seemed like they were afraid to breathe too loudly.

“What the fuck are you all doing?! Piss off, don’t block the path!”

A bellow broke the silence. From the door beneath the Demon Suppression statue, a demon radiating with a fierce aura suddenly leapt out and swung his hand towards the cold man.

The place occupied by the cold man was definitely the most optimal position for studying the Demon Suppression statue, but it also happened to be a place where demons coming up from below had to pass through.

The eyes of the demons were filled with a mocking pleasure over what was about to happen, Sir Lietu is a genius of the Demon race. Although he has fallen back down from the Demon Commander realm, he’s still not someone who can be handled by Demon Generals, not to mention he wields the “Evil Eye”.

Lietu waved his right hand gently, and a gust of foul air swept through the square.

The fierce Demon General staggered past Lietu. A vicious wound stretched from his left shoulder to his right waist, spraying with blood. He turned around. “You’re…”

Suddenly, he discovered that something important seemed to be missing. He lowered his head and checked his chest.

Lietu currently had his head lowered, fiddling around with a black, pebble-like demon heart. There was a thump behind him, and the fierce Demon General collapsed on the ground.

Without even looking back, he placed the demon heart into the strange eye in the centre of the sword hilt. The eye pulsed and absorbed the black demon heart. As if the sword had been completed, a black iris appeared in the eyeball. The eyeball swiveled around, and every Demon General that it saw shivered inside.

The many blood vessels coiled around the black iris, and the entire hilt twisted violently. Foul air whistled out, blowing Lietu’s hair into the air and filling the entire hall. All of the Demon Generals felt like they were suffocating.

The entire sword shone with black light as if the dark night had descended. The glistening colour of gold in the surroundings immediately dimmed. Only the Demon Suppression statue remained the same as before, watching all of this unfold from above.

But a while later, the eyeball forced out the demon heart, which fell to the ground with a clink. It felt like it had just eaten something disgusting and spat it back out with great disdain.

Lietu shook his head. “Sure enough, it’s still not enough. The demon hearts of Demon Generals are unable to satisfy the Evil Eye. It requires even stronger demon hearts. I need to recover my strength as soon as possible and kill my way back onto the seventh floor so that I can find a suitable demon heart.”

His sharp ears suddenly twitched as he sensed auras of death gathered outside the door. The other Demon Generals were afraid of Lietu, but none of them were weak. They all sensed it too and became vigilant.

Thump!

The nine gilded doors suddenly opened at the same time, and a hundred Corpse Soldiers swarmed in.

The Demon Generals were unsurprised. As it turned out, it was merely some Corpse Soldiers.

Lietu frowned, sensing that something was amiss. There were plenty of demonfolk that could control corpses, but these Corpse Soldiers were originally humans. Where did all these human corpses come from in the Demon Suppression hall? It was completely impossible for those bald asses from the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga to use something like this.

The eyeball on the Evil Eye sword in his hand swiveled, noticing how the backs of every Corpse Soldier was plastered with talismans. They all tore apart at the same time, shining with light.





Chapter 577: Mine | Legend of the Great Sage




Ranging from low-level Fireball talismans to powerful Scarlet Sun talismans, with Rushing Lightning talismans and Explosion talismans in between, a hundred Corpse Soldiers were covered in over a thousand talismans—of course, the relatively-more-precious violet talismans that could incur trouble easily obviously could not be used here.

Li Qingshan and Xiao An killed their way to the outskirts of the sixth floor before beginning their preparations. Li Qingshan had obviously come up with this move that terrorists used all too frequently. Originally, he only wanted to catch them off-guard so that he could launch a sudden attack.

But from the moment he stuck on the first talisman, Li Qingshan became like a child who wanted to test out the maximum power of some firecrackers. He took out all of the destructive talismans of fire and lightning and stuck them on. Afterwards, with an order from Xiao An, the suicidal Corpse Soldiers all rushed in together.

The Demon Generals had not responded slowly, unleashing their various defensive techniques. However, the circular square only had nine doors in total, and not all the Corpse Soldiers Xiao An had arranged charged in. Nine remained behind, specially for closing the doors!

The nine gilded doors opened and closed. Everything happened in a single instant.

Boom!

All of the Corpse Soldiers were torn apart by the lightning and fire first. The flames surged and the electricity crackled, swallowing the Demon Generals and slamming them against the walls heavily, but the fire and lightning and firmly stopped. It rebounded and was compressed before becoming even more violent. Who knew how many times that process occurred in a single moment, completely unleashing the full force of the explosion.

The entire Demon Suppression hall shook violently. Only after a very long time did the shaking completely stop.

Li Qingshan crouched outside the door, plugging his ears with his index fingers as he shook his head violently. He stood up and whistled in disbelief. He had never thought the combined explosion of these talismans would be so great that even he would become slightly dizzy.

Li Qingshan extended his thumb at Xiao An.

“Probably all of them inside have been blown up to death!”

Li Qingshan estimated that even if he were blocked up in a place and blown up like that, he definitely could not emerge unscathed either. No matter how powerful the Demon Generals were inside, they probably would not have been able to escape death.

However, Xiao An shook her head. She could clearly sense a powerful aura of life remaining behind the door.

“Then I need to see just whose life is so tough. Surely it’s not a Demon Commander!”

Li Qingshan secretly raised his guard and pushed open the gilded door. The moment he touched the door, he was slightly surprised, as the door was just as cold as before. There was not even the slightest warmth, let alone being warped by the explosion. He had no idea what the Demon Suppression hall was made of for it to be so tough.
