Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 454 - 452: Human Traitor

Chapter 454: Chapter 452: Human Traitor

If these minor Water Demons manage to entangle me, that terrifying Great Water Demon will immediately arrive.

By then, I’ll be locked in a tough battle and might not be able to escape.

At the Foundation Establishment and Demon General levels, the differences are extremely vast.

The weak ones, like the Leopard Man before, even as a mid-tier Demon General, were not my match.

The strong ones, like this Water Demon before me, are terrifying and don’t seem like creatures of the mid-tier Demon General level; Lou Yi knows he’s definitely not its match.

“Armor-Piercing.”

Without hesitation, Lou Yi activated his advanced martial art, Armor-Piercing, and with one punch, killed more than half of the dozen Water Demons near him.

At the same time, his body quickly retreated, moving like lightning.

In a flash, he disappeared from the spot, successfully escaping.

“Ah!!!”

A massive shadow arrived at the scene, letting out an angry roar that shook the earth, but it could no longer find a trace of Lou Yi.

After this strike, Lou Yi didn’t linger and continued heading towards a neighboring city.

The place had previously given him a sense of danger.

Upon investigation, it was because several mid-tier Demon Generals, along with early-tier Demon Generals, were lying in ambush.

There was also a slightly larger Three-Eyed Crow present.

Species like the Three-Eyed Crow, capable of seeing through true forms, are rare even among the Demon Clan.

Lou Yi repeated his previous strategy, lying in wait along paths the Demon Clan might pass.

He didn’t have to wait long.

This Three-Eyed Crow was quite restless and flew out of the core region, only to be killed by Lou Yi in one strike!

He also acquired its Raven Eye talent, although its functions heavily overlapped with his Attribute Panel, offering no immediate use.

Following that, Lou Yi switched locations again.

With his triple sonic burst speed, he could cover a distance of one or two hundred miles within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

And Lou Yi didn’t even know his ultimate destination.

As long as he spotted any flaw, he’d immediately launch a surprise attack.

If not critically injuring the opponent, then killing them; in any case, one punch and he’d flee.

For a while, demons in the surrounding cities were in constant fear.

Afraid of being caught by Lou Yi, many hid within their camps, not daring to venture out, nor letting their subordinates approach easily.

There were even incidents where close subordinates were mistakenly killed, becoming a laughingstock among the Demon Clan.

Eventually, they realized this still wasn’t safe.

Demons from several cities gathered together outside the town, pooling their strength for mutual support and warmth.

With numerous Demon Generals clustered together, Lou Yi had to think twice about approaching for a sneak attack.

Cultivators in several cities noticed that demons were retreating on a large scale.

Demons previously scattering to attack multiple cities were now often consolidating into one.

The pressure on the Zhao Kingdom’s border defense significantly decreased, no longer widespread.

And all of this is achieved by a single person!

Lou Yi drifted through several cities consecutively, his whereabouts becoming a mystery.

He forced every Demon Clan member into a panic, with many Demon Generals gathering together, afraid to act solo again.

The name Red Hero spread instantly throughout the Zhao Kingdom, becoming truly well-known!

Some good people even labeled him as Zhao Kingdom’s greatest assassin in history, worthy of being recorded in the annals.

In this world, power belongs to the individual.

Combined with extraordinary talents, Lou Yi achieved what no one had before, singlehandedly stirring storms within the Human and Demon races, changing the course of the war!

…

In some desolate desert of the Zhao Kingdom, within a secluded underground space.

The grayish-white walls everywhere were carved with eerie images of evil ghosts and giant demons.

There were ghosts with arms all over them, furrowing brows in anger, giant demons holding their own heads, towering high, and demonic creatures with mouths full of tiny humans…

Green oil lamps hung above on the stone walls, flickering light made these painted monsters appear more sinister, as if they might come to life at any moment.

A sinister voice suddenly resonated.

“Who exactly is the Red Hero? He ruined our cult’s grand plans, and his crimes are unforgivable, deserving countless deaths!”

“The deaths of several elders should be because of this person. Previously, there was no mention of a Body Cultivator in the Zhao Kingdom.”

“The Demon Clan is way too foolish, they need reminders on how to act…”

Soon, several shadows flew out of the underground space, heading toward the distance.

…

Outside Huai City.

A massive gathering of monsters had already formed.

Numbers several times larger than before, a foul smell filled the air, with various snoring and roaring sounds rising and falling, trees and grass dozens of miles around were chewed clean.

At the central region, several Great Demons either sat or stood, staring at each other wide-eyed.

“This is my territory, you all have to listen to me!” The Tiger Demon, a mid-tier Demon General who originally inhabited here, roared at the other monsters.

“Among the Demon Clan, strength rules; whoever is stronger, we’ll listen to them!” Another Toad Demon retorted harshly.

Its body seemed taller than a six-story building, covered in countless granules, each the size of fruits.

Gray smoke continuously spewed from the granules, making hissing sounds that forced other monsters to keep a distance from it, afraid to get close easily.

“Since none of us are convinced, then let’s have a contest!” A third monster spoke up.

It was a gigantic centipede, magnified numerous times.

With thousands of legs, each one covered with sharp spikes, each could be considered a powerful weapon, imagining thousands firing at once was terrifying.

As several Demon Generals were in dispute.

A disdainful snicker echoed from the scene.

“You are yet to be forced by Red Hero, cowering like stray dogs.

Instead of thinking about how to kill him, you’re vying for a worthless leadership position?”

A cluster of black fog appeared on the scene.

Once the fog dispersed.

A mysterious man cloaked entirely in a black robe emerged, with a faint aura emanating, leaving only a pair of eerie eyes exposed.

“Human race?” Upon seeing him, the Tiger Demon’s eyes glimmered with fierce intent, “Did you come here to die?”

“How laughable, I’m here to save you,” the black-robed man replied confidently, “I have a plan to capture and kill Red Hero…”

Before the words finished, his expression changed suddenly.

A strong white air current surged before him.

The Tiger Demon had no intention of listening, and with a claw, viciously tore towards his location!

“Blabbering nonsense, take my claw first, then we’ll see!”

’Whoosh!’

As a mid-tier Demon General, the Tiger Demon naturally possessed extraordinary strength.

With a swing of its claw, it seemed to tear through the void around the black-robed man.

But the black-robed man wasn’t easy to handle either.

His body surged with Spiritual Essence, and employing secret techniques, instantly vanished from the spot, leaving the Tiger Demon’s attack in vain.

He reappeared several hundred yards away.

“Good, indeed you have some skills, let’s go again!” The Tiger Demon’s eyes shimmered with a bloodthirsty light, eager for a challenge.

Due to being pressured by the elusive Red Hero for so long, its heart burned with anger, desperately needing an outlet.

“Wait!” The black-robed man could no longer maintain his superior demeanor, “I’m here to assist you, don’t you want to kill Red Hero?”
