Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 500 - 478: One Man Against a Million Troops
Chapter 500: Chapter 478: One Man Against a Million Troops
The Deer Demon sighed and shook its head, ceasing to persuade further.
With its four hooves dancing, its body darted through Jianghuai City like an arrow, swiftly arriving at a grand estate.
Unlike other demons.
The Deer Demon did not quite enjoy living in the wild, feasting on raw flesh and blood. Awakened to an ancient wisdom, it had an inexplicable longing for the lifestyle of the human race.
Thus, after occupying Jianghuai City, the Deer Demon chose a luxurious human mansion.
Looking at the intricate corridors before it, the gentle flow of artificial streams, and the meticulously tended flowers and plants… the Deer Demon’s restless heart gradually calmed down.
It entered the largest bedroom of the mansion, lying sideways on the soft bed, its limbs sprawling off the wooden bed, its head resting on a pillow, sleeping like a human.
Outside the door, a maid carrying a basin of water walked in.
“M-majesty, I came to wash you,” the maid trembled all over but still tried to maintain her composure, fearing that collapsing would lead to even more terrifying consequences.
“Hmm.” The Deer Demon emitted a dignified sound.
The maid then used a water-soaked towel to wipe the Deer Demon’s four ash-covered hooves and its limbs adorned with smooth, glossy black fur.
When she attempted to move higher, the Deer Demon stopped her.
“That’s enough, you may leave.”
“By your command, majesty.” Relieved, the maid hurriedly ran out.
In her excitement, she even fell, overturning the freshly washed basin.
“Useless!”
The Deer Demon roared with anger, suddenly opening its gaping jaw, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth.
It swallowed the maid whole, chewing her with a spine-chilling sound.
Yet after the meal, the Deer Demon felt regret and began to reflect.
“Sigh, after all, I am a demon, it’s hard to change the habit of eating humans in an instant, no wonder they’re afraid of me.”
“But I’ve heard that when demons cultivate to an extremely high realm, they can transform into human form…”
The Deer Demon was an oddity among demons, desiring to transform into human form to better experience human living.
Its eyes closed, beginning to rest, yet still maintaining a sliver of attention outwardly.
The next morning, the Deer Demon left home as usual.
Yet without noticing, once it was gone, a shadow slipped in stealthily.
“Disguise.”
Lou Yi immediately invoked the Disguise Talent, his form increasingly blending into the room.
His next target was the highly alert Deer Demon, necessitating the advance use of the Disguise Talent.
After all, high-tier Demon Generals had an acute sense of danger, and using talents momentarily wasn’t safe.
But by using talents in advance, the longer the time, the better he could blend into the environment.
At night, the Deer Demon returned to its room as usual, just as it leapt onto the bed.
“Armor-Piercing!”
An intangible, sharp wave spread out, instantly enveloping the Deer Demon’s head, causing its body to halt, its movements becoming sluggish.
“Transform——body——into… sword.”
With a fierce rainbow light flashing by.
Unsurprisingly, the Deer Demon, with high attack but low defense, didn’t even have time to use its death ray; its body exploded entirely, dead beyond dead!
It had warned the other demons to beware of Red Hero, never expecting to be the first to die at his hands.
By the time other demons arrived, Lou Yi had already fled a great distance away.
“Red Hero is in the city, when did he sneak in?”
“This guy is too arrogant!”
The demons were furious, feeling that Lou Yi completely disregarded them.
Killing the Elephant Demon outside the city was one thing, but sneaking in to kill the Deer Demon was tantamount to a blatant slap in the face.
“Red Hero, Red Hero, come out for Grandpa!”
The Three-headed Lion Demon couldn’t suppress its rage, spewing crimson flames from its middle head, burning a vast portion of Jianghuai City’s buildings, yet still failing to force Lou Yi out.
“Next time we meet, Grandpa will tear you apart and devour you piece by piece!” the Three-headed Lion Demon roared to the sky.
Among the many demons, it had the closest relationship with the Deer Demon and was extremely enraged by its cruel death.
“He ambushed once in the city, we should be prepared, he probably won’t come back in a short time,” analyzed the Water Demon.
Though they said this, the heavy shadows of past encounters kept many demons awake at night, their minds constantly on guard against everything around them.
Another day passed.
’Bang!’
A sudden loud noise erupted from a certain area in Jianghuai City.
Many Demon Generals, upon hearing the sound, had their hair bristle and dashed toward the source of the sound with lightning speed!
“This time we must not let this guy escape!”
The Three-headed Lion Demon roared.
With its fiery red fur, it was like a blazing fire, the three heads varying in color and size, resembling a mythological creature.
Despite its enormous size, it moved at lightning speed, hardly leaving any trace on the ground.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, the Three-headed Lion Demon let out a miserable scream.
It was heading toward the sound’s location, advancing on the widest avenue in the city.
As it stepped on a particular spot, a white web suddenly sprang out, wrapping its entire body.
This was from Lou Yi’s less commonly used talent, Silk Spitting.
He had intentionally made a noise, setting a trap on the most spacious avenue leading to the source, predicting a high likelihood of catching a demon.
He hadn’t expected to catch such a big fish.
None other than the Three-headed Lion Demon, whose strength was top-tier among Demon Generals.
The spider silk’s resilience was closely tied to the master’s Qi-Blood strength.
Therefore, the white web created by Lou Yi had tremendous toughness and hardness, making it difficult for even the Three-headed Lion Demon to break free for a while.
