I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 445 - 291: Slaughter

As Li Jizhou’s tone grew cold and his expression stern, the Tiger Mountain Monarch and the few Red Flame Demon Division members opposite him showed no wariness.

Instead, they burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, kid, do you know who is in front of you?"

"You think you can rely on those ten Divinity Transformation cultivators behind you?"

"Pfft~" In the midst of the Tiger Mountain Monarch’s laughter, a flash of bloodlight followed, and the human head, which had completely transformed, suddenly became a white tiger head with green eyes and golden pupils in mid-air.

The tiger’s eyes filled with incredulity, wanting to turn back to see the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable who had suddenly attacked him, but it was impossible.

In the next moment, his Primordial Spirit was forcibly ripped from his spiritual sea by the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable and swallowed whole.

"Kekeke~ Kid, I just helped you devour this imposter, this kind of demon is a disgrace to our Demon Race." The Fire Thunder Demon Venerable smirked sinisterly and licked his lips, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at Li Jizhou and his group.

Originally thinking that seeing a Tier Four Peak Great Demon instantly killed and his Primordial Spirit devoured would cause the little Human Race Foundation Establishment cultivator, Li Jizhou, to scream in terror, or at least kneel down and beg for mercy.

Yet, Li Jizhou remained stern, entirely unsurprised and unaffected by the Tiger Mountain Monarch’s death.

"Hmm? You’re not afraid?"

"A beast at death’s door, what is there to fear?" Li Jizhou’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"Hahaha, is every Human Race as arrogant and ignorant as you? Do you know what a Demon Venerable is?" The Fire Thunder Demon Venerable laughed in anger.

With those words, he said no more and with a wave of his hand, a scuffling group of shadows materialized behind him.

With a brief glance, it matched the shared vision of nearly two thousand Red Flame Demon Race members and the Six-winged Golden Cicada.

"Children, take a good look at what arrogant and ignorant Humans are. Remember, Humans are contemptible, weak blood food, and I want you to use these Humans to train your courage." The Fire Thunder Demon Venerable roared at a group of young clan members.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Eat up the Humans!" The young Red Flame Demon Race members responded excitedly.

The Thunder Fire Demon Venerable smiled with satisfaction.

However, just as he was about to let his clansmen take action, his Primordial Spirit suddenly trembled.

He distinctly felt three presences stronger than him rapidly approaching.

"Refining Void cultivators!" His face changed abruptly.

Before he could react, three figures already appeared in the sky above.

The trio formed a pincer stance, surrounding the two thousand Red Flame Demon Race members.

The clansmen behind him still unaware of the situation, laughed freely, with no recognition of their clan leader’s severe expression.

Faced with a siege by three Refining Void cultivators, unless he resorted to drastically burning his blood essence, there was hardly a sliver of hope, and with all the young clan members he insisted on bringing today, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

"Isn’t Jiuli Dynasty afraid of extermination by our Demon Race?" Aside from the Saint Emperor of the Jiuli Dynasty, he couldn’t imagine anyone else with such calculation and strength.

The Human Race’s Refining Void Divine Monarchs were but a handful in the Jiuli Dynasty, so how could three possibly appear here at once?

"Heh~ What does this have to do with the Jiuli Dynasty? You failed to keep your word, wanted to steal my goods, and kill my people. I’m merely defending myself." Li Jizhou chuckled lightly.

The Fire Thunder Demon Venerable’s expression shifted: "Hmph, boastful words, but how could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like you have the ability to summon three Refining Void experts for support?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable vanished instantly.

He understood clearly that given the current circumstances, his only shot was to attempt the so-called ’capture the king to capture the thieves’ strategy.

Li Jizhou’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he too disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The next moment, the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable appeared where Li Jizhou had just stood, his face full of shock.

Despite his Tier Five Peak strength, he couldn’t sense Li Jizhou’s presence at all.

Even with a Teleportation Array, there would be a faint trace left behind—it shouldn’t disappear so quickly without a trace.

"Fire Thunder Demon scum! The grudge of Jiuli’s three hundred thousand citizens needs reckoning today." Duke Zhen, full of fury, was the first to strike.

Only then did the rest of the Red Flame Demon Race realize something was amiss.

A clan elder immediately tried to send away the young generation within the clan, yet from both sides came auras clearly stronger than the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable, sealing off the area with a gesture.

"Three Refining Void Divine Monarchs!" The expression of the Tier Five demon cultivators within the clan changed dramatically.

"Boom~" Duke Zhen’s punch, brimming with fury, tore through the void, the massive fist like a mountain breached the space, suddenly appearing in front of the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable.

"Hmph, with just you, what can you do to me?" The Fire Thunder Demon Venerable’s face darkened as he spat out a mouthful of Celestial Fire, the flames carrying a raging blaze threatening to dissolve the heavens and earth, meeting Duke Zhen’s punch head-on.

Instantly, the earth shook, flames burst everywhere, and those below Tier Four demon cultivators who were too close were directly engulfed by the overflow of Celestial Fire, leaving not a trace of their bones.

"Kill!" The Fire Thunder Demon Venerable’s heart trembled as Duke Zhen shattered his Celestial Fire with a single punch. The opponent was stronger than he imagined, so he immediately ordered his clan to charge at the ten Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Amidst chaos alone, perhaps there was a flicker of hope.

"Swoosh~"

However, before his clansmen could respond, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared there.

Immediately, apart from several dozen Tier Five demon cultivators, the rest of the two thousand Red Flame Demon Race members vanished completely, as if absorbed into some mysterious space.

"This... what is this? Despicable Humans. Demon Venerable, the younger generation of our clan is gone!" Several elders shouted.

The Fire Thunder Demon Venerable’s eyes widened, his face already turning an ashen green.

However, at this moment, he was no longer concerned about his clansmen but his own life and death.

"Kill!" At this moment, Gongsun Dang and the Hua family’s patriarch also joined in, attacking the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable.

The ten Divinity Transformation commanders likewise charged towards the dozens of Tier Five elder protectors of the Red Flame Demon Race.

In an instant, a fierce battle ensued on the scene.

Though outnumbered, the ten Divinity Transformation commanders wore high-tier spiritual treasure heavy armor of the military, and Gongsun Dang and the others occasionally distractedly assisted, along with their overwhelming hatred towards the Red Flame Demon Race for devouring the three hundred thousand citizens of Yong’an City, they unexpectedly had the enemy crying bitterly in no time.

As for the Fire Thunder Demon Venerable, besieged by three Refining Void experts, he could do nothing but barely hold on, unable to even ignite his blood to escape.

Yet, they weren’t the ones suffering the most.

Those truly suffering were the Red Flame Demon Race within the Yellow Springs Blood Evil Realm.

Nearly two thousand Red Flame Demon Race members were simultaneously pulled into the realm, unable to react before being mercilessly slaughtered.

Cang Huang, having killed his parents a few days ago and overcome his last vestiges of softness, displayed a brutal ruthlessness akin to an unfeeling machine.

The hatred from Cyan Dome’s family and clan being destroyed, drove her to flash through the realm with a frenzied blue silhouette.

Every time she flashed, several heads of the Red Flame Demon Race would roll.

While Liu Hongling, controlling the Blood Evil God that dominated the space here, was truly terrifying, she mostly acted as a spectator, intervening only when danger loomed.

Her main focus remained on Li Jizhou in the central area.

At this moment, Li Jizhou, wielding a First Grade Spirit Treasure Sword which could only exert a fraction of its full power due to his Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, was applying the Grass Pheasant Geng Metal Sword Skill taught by Gongsun Dang, killing spree among dozens of young Red Flame Demon Race members.

As the master of the Blood Evil Realm, with a constant supply of blood fiend energy and his senses merged with the realm, he navigated with ease.

In just a short span, Cang Huang, Cyan Dome, and Li Jizhou were all soaked in blood, increasingly ferocious in their slaughter.

Amid the carnage, Li Jizhou’s awareness of the Dao Fruit power of the Yellow Springs Blood Slaughter Celestial Venerable became ever clearer.

The way of slaughter!
