Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 540 - 517: The Seven Heroes of Demon Slaying
Chapter 540: Chapter 517: The Seven Heroes of Demon Slaying
Pan City, an unknown tavern.
“That Hyena Demon was already half-dead after our sect’s Elder Wang dealt with it.
Yet Lou Yi reaped the rewards, boosting his reputation greatly!”
A voice, tinged with the smell of alcohol, sounded somewhat indignant.
“Brother Su, don’t be angry. No matter how formidable Lou Yi is, he’s just at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Remember, cultivation is fundamental.
He focuses solely on arrays, likely stuck at Qi Cultivation for this lifetime, unable to reach great achievements,” advised another voice.
After hearing this, the alcoholic voice grew even more excited: “Exactly, just a Qi Cultivator, not worth mentioning! Only Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators are the mainstream of this era.
Like the True Blood Sect’s prodigy Jin Tingfeng, who is about to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Demon Clan’s top expert, Green Sheep Demon, outside Huai City.
Winning could alter the current situation between the human and demon races.
Our sect’s Senior Brother Xia Hong and Junior Uncle Lu Chen are by no means inferior to Jin Tingfeng in strength—they can’t be compared to someone at Qi Cultivation!”
“Finally, Brother Su, you understand. Just a lucky opportunist, not worth focusing on…”
The two Red Sun Sect disciples quickly shifted their topic, discussing other cultivation realm gossip.
They didn’t realize that a table not far away was listening to their conversation while dining.
“I want to confront them; what do they mean by a lucky opportunist?” Bi Yaoyao stood angrily, revealing a pair of white little canine teeth, ready to charge at the table disparaging Lou Yi.
“Forget it, no need to lower yourself to argue with these boring people,” Lou Yi stopped Bi Yaoyao.
Bi Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled, suddenly declaring, “Then I want to go to Huai City to see how formidable this so-called prodigy really is!”
She looked at You Qingyi at the other side of the table, playfully asking, “Qingyi, what do you think?”
“Alright.” You Qingyi smiled faintly.
Lou Yi and Bi Yaoyao exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other’s eyes.
Recently, You Qingyi’s condition has been stable, but how long this would last was uncertain.
Having decided to head to Huai City, they immediately returned to the inn to pack their luggage, asked for leave from Elder Chen, and quickly departed.
Not only was Lou Yi’s group on their way.
Since hearing the news of Jin Tingfeng challenging Green Sheep Demon,
all sorts of people from the Northern Domain of Central Continent were already en route, eager to witness this ’world-shattering battle.’
Huai City, a top-tier teahouse.
As one of the city’s leading teahouses, both floors were now packed to the brim.
Everyone looked towards the center of the teahouse, where a stone platform was built, surrounded by a red wooden fence.
In the center, a storyteller in a black long shirt, wearing cloth shoes, with half-grey hair, appeared vibrant.
He was tapping a wooden board rhythmically, narrating with fluctuation in tone, occasionally earning applause from the tea patrons.
“Over two years ago, the human race’s major sects surrounded the demon clan elites at Camel Ridge, injuring the Lion Demon and Cold Cicada Demon severely…
Yet, as the demons were about to be decimated, the Green Sheep Demon emerged, alone battling numerous human prodigies, forcibly extending the demon clan’s fate to this day…”
“Speaking of the Green Sheep Demon, it stands a hundred meters tall, akin to a mountain, with two azure horns atop its head stretching to the sky, dazzling like the rising sun when powered…
Its vast mouth opens, filled with a thousand and twenty-four teeth, each sharper than the hardest spear…”
“In the following years, the Green Sheep Demon always appeared at the demon clan’s gravest moments, saving them multiple times from desperate situations.
It also defeated Fairy Xin from the Seven Demon Exterminators, ’East Sea Immortal Ruler’ Li Jiawei, ’One Sword Immortal’ Zhang Xinye…
Only ’Invincible Vajra’ Jin Tingfeng, ’Flame Divine Monarch’ Xia Hong, ’Jade-faced Young Master’ Lu Chen among the few have yet to face the Green Sheep Demon.”
“’Invincible Vajra’ Jin Tingfeng has topped the Demon Exterminator Monthly List seven times—the most among all cultivators!
The Green Sheep Demon is recognized as the strongest within the demon clan.
Their battle will shake the heavens and the earth, potentially altering the current situation of the human and demon races!”
The storyteller grew more excited as he spoke, the frequency of his tapboard reaching its peak.
At this time, someone from below asked loudly, “Old Sun, who do you think will win this grand battle?”
In an instant, everyone’s attention was drawn.
The storyteller Old Sun smiled lightly: “The last time the Green Sheep Demon defeated the Seven Demon Exterminators was five months ago against ’East Sea Immortal Ruler’ Li Jiawei.
But the fight lasted at least half an incense stick’s time, even cracking a small mountain.
Li Jiawei admitted he was significantly inferior to ’Invincible Vajra’ Jin Tingfeng.
Thus, unless external forces intervene, this old man still favors our human side.”
After Old Sun finished, everyone nodded in agreement.
“The Green Sheep Demon is rampant only because it hasn’t met anyone formidable, soon Jin Tingfeng will show it its place!”
“Jin Tingfeng is called ’Invincible Vajra’ because he has never lost a battle of the same tier since he started cultivating—a true battle genius!”
“If Jin Tingfeng can slay the Green Sheep Demon this time, he will undoubtedly be the top prodigy in the Northern Domain of Central Continent!”
However, right after this sentiment was expressed, someone immediately voiced dissent.
“I disagree with this statement!
Even if Jin Tingfeng beats the Green Sheep Demon, it doesn’t mean he’s the absolute number one, just stronger than the Green Sheep Demon.
After all, our Red Sun Sect’s ’Flame Divine Monarch’ Xia Hong and ’Jade-faced Young Master’ Lu Chen are not necessarily weaker than Jin Tingfeng!”
“Exactly, ’Invincible Vajra’ is undefeated only because he hasn’t faced the two prodigies from our sect!
Without a direct fight, his undefeated title is still up for debate!”
Several Red Sun Sect disciples in orange-red Daoist robes, not pleased hearing anyone claiming Jin Tingfeng as the top prodigy, refuted this notion.
But present were also True Blood Sect cultivators.
A long-faced True Blood Sect cultivator, unwilling to be outdone, sarcastically remarked, “Oh, if Xia Hong and Lu Chen are that formidable, why don’t they dare challenge the Green Sheep Demon?”
“They don’t challenge Senior Brother Jin either; without fighting, he remains the strongest!” Another fellow sect member chimed in.
The Red Sun Sect disciples were furious, standing up in anger.
“What did you just say? Repeat that if you dare!”
“What, the truth hurts?” The long-faced True Blood Sect cultivator sneered coldly.
With tensions rising between the sect disciples.
The teahouse staff began to mediate, fearing they would destroy the place if they fought.
“Everyone, please don’t be impulsive; whether it’s Invincible Vajra or Flame Divine Monarch, they are among the strongest prodigies, why bother competing?”
“Indeed, remember, we’re all striving to resist the demon clan; let’s avoid internal conflict!”
Through the relentless efforts of the teahouse’s staff and shopkeeper, they finally soothed the Red Sun Sect and True Blood Sect disciples.
At this time, a farmer-looking person who had entered the teahouse not long ago suddenly sighed, “If Red Hero were still around, he could compete for the top prodigy too.”
“Red Hero?”
Upon hearing this long-absent, somewhat unfamiliar name, the atmosphere momentarily fell silent.
