Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 557 - 534: Nationality
Chapter 557: Chapter 534: Nationality
“Red Hero has reached the top!”
“What happened? How did Red Hero suddenly soar to the top position?”
“Doesn’t this mean that Red Hero also participated in the great battle outside Huai City?”
Seeing Red Hero climb to the top of the rankings, the people of Huai City were very excited.
No one could forget Red Hero’s contributions, no one could ignore Red Hero’s presence.
“I knew it, Red Hero is definitely not inferior to those prodigies from other sects!” said a middle-aged, prosperous-looking man in a blue silk robe, his voice slightly trembling.
He was the local merchant who had been previously rebuked by the disciples of the True Blood Sect at the First-class Teahouse.
The disciples of the True Blood Sect believed that Red Hero’s reputation was undeserved, and his true strength was just average.
Although the man disagreed, facing the high and mighty cultivators, he could only choose to endure, hiding his anger and unwillingness in his heart.
Now seeing Red Hero vindicating himself, he was more excited than when his own son had passed the scholar examination.
The middle-aged prosperous man’s words immediately gained recognition and agreement.
“I’ve never thought that Red Hero was inferior to the Seven Demon Exterminators, not being on the list these years might be due to being in seclusion.”
“As soon as Red Hero emerged, he topped the demon extermination rankings.
All those who previously criticized him can shut up now, right?”
“Red Hero must have killed more than one high-tier demon general, otherwise he couldn’t have reached the first place.
After all, the foundations of the previous top are quite substantial…”
The crowd was buzzing with discussions, all topics centered around one person.
A young low-tier cultivator couldn’t help but send a burst of spiritual power toward Red Hero’s name.
The next moment, the stele revealed some brief information about Red Hero: male, twenty-eight years old, cultivation unknown, killed five high-tier demon generals…
As the stele refreshed, five soon became six, then seven…
“What, Red Hero is so young?”
The crowd exclaimed.
They did not know that as the demon extermination rankings were about to change, Lou Yi, who had transformed into Red Hero outside the city, sensed it.
He sensed an invisible subtle ripple sweeping over him.
He instinctively activated his Disguise Talent for self-protection.
’Demon extermination rankings?’
Having been on the list once before, Lou Yi knew the source of the ripple was from the magical artifact, the demon extermination rankings, refined by Golden Core Masters from various sects.
Anyone who kills a demon general can appear on this list.
He had just killed the werewolf Chi Lufeng, and the demon extermination rankings sensed it, truly a magical artifact refined by Golden Core Masters.
However, this artifact clearly couldn’t break through his Disguise Talent.
Thus, after the first ’scan’ failed, it began a second and third round of ’scanning’.
To avoid drawing attention from the Golden Core Masters, Lou Yi relaxed some of his aura.
He let the ripple sense the part of the information he wanted to convey.
Having gained what it wanted, the ripple soon departed.
’Golden Core Masters, though possessing vast divine skills, after all, are not immortals, it’s impossible for everyone to calculate extremely accurately.
The demon extermination rankings should only have simple exploration and sensing functions, otherwise it would be too terrifying.’
’If I use my Disguise Talent, I could hide all the information and not let it sense anything.
Of course, there’s no need to do this, it would draw special attention from the Golden Core Masters.’
’Though it looks simple, others can’t do it, as not everyone possesses the Disguise Talent and Divination Talent.’
Lou Yi quickly refocused his attention back on the battlefield, the massacre continued.
After killing the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf, the demon generals collapsed completely, fleeing in all directions.
Such a great opportunity to beat down on those who are down, Lou Yi certainly wouldn’t miss it.
He activated a ruthless slaughter mode, specifically targeting high-tier demon generals.
With the wind at his feet, Lou Yi took a leap, arriving in front of a huge-bodied demon general.
This demon general stood a hundred feet tall, its muscles as hard as small mountains protruded, its entire body like it was forged from black Profound Iron, exuding a rich metallic luster.
It was the Iron Camel Demon, known for its extremely strong defense even among the Demon Clan.
“Tidal Wave.”
Lou Yi threw a punch.
Layer upon layer of red tides surged toward the Iron Camel Demon.
Inevitably causing its incredibly tough body to disintegrate, quickly turning into countless pieces, dead beyond doubt.
No time to check the commotion on the Attribute Panel, Lou Yi looked above.
High in the sky, a giant gray eagle demon was soaring with wings spread, covering the sky and casting sharp cold glints from each feather.
Its speed was the fastest Lou Yi had ever seen in his life, estimated to be over seven or eight times the speed of sound.
Its figure was rapidly moving away, making it difficult to catch up with ordinary methods.
However, Lou Yi took out a gray and white Geng Metal Axe from his storage ring.
Raising his right arm, he twisted his waist abruptly, fiercely swinging it out with a ’whirring’ sound.
“Chasing Life.”
In the air, the Geng Metal Axe formed a trail of white vapor visible to the naked eye, howling toward the eagle demon’s body, with a terrifying momentum.
The eagle demon sensed a death threat, constantly twisting direction in the void, trying to avoid the attack.
But it was horrified to find that the axe moved with it, shifting and changing with its movements, much more agile than a flying sword, impossible to shake off.
In the despairing long cry of the eagle demon, its body was struck by the Geng Metal Axe and exploded entirely.
Even the flesh and blood essence inside the body disappeared instantly, leaving the body incredibly shriveled.
During the years in seclusion, Lou Yi had evolved Lou’s Axe Skill into Lou’s Axe Technique.
The power of the skills ’Chasing Life’ and ’Soul Devouring’ had both become stronger.
After killing the eagle demon, Lou Yi rushed toward another familiar figure.
It was all fiery red, seemingly burning with flames, precisely his old adversaries, the two-headed Lion Demon.
Previously it had three heads, but Lou Yi had already chopped off one.
The two-headed Lion Demon, noticing Lou Yi’s approach, was scared out of its wits.
Using some unknown secret technique, its body instantly shrank to the size of a normal lion, its speed suddenly increasing significantly.
Lou Yi shot a brilliant pillar of astral energy from his palm, blasting one of its heads, but didn’t finish off its life.
“This thing is really tough, it escaped again.” Lou Yi shook his head in dismay.
He could continue chasing the Lion Demon, but there was no need; there were more demons to kill in front of him.
Thinking of this, Lou Yi freed himself, punching one demon general after another as easily as cutting vegetables.
And the other Foundation Establishments of the Human Race, following behind Lou Yi, were ’click-clacking’ as they picked off stragglers, each displaying their full potential.
Soon, more than half of the demon generals on the scene were killed.
The other Demon Clan of Cyan Wolf Ridge suffered a severe blow to their Primordial Qi.
In the future, the Wolf Clan will find it very difficult to command these Demon Clans again, and will have to take action themselves if anything happens.
In this battle, the Human Race achieved a great victory.
A group of Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators came over to thank Lou Yi, in their eyes, the Red Hero.
“Red Hero, no need for thanks, in the future, if there is any need, we will do our utmost!”
“I thought I was doomed today, never expected to survive, many thanks for saving us, Red Hero!”
“Red Hero, many, many thanks!” Even Jin Tingfeng came limping over to express his gratitude.
Although he didn’t seem good at this, as his words were not very fluent.
Lou Yi nodded to him.
This person, though foul-mouthed and reckless in his actions, after all, fought for Zhao Kingdom, killing demons for the people, with no loss of integrity.
At this moment, other members of the Corpse-Driving Sect also rushed over, all excitedly looking at Lou Yi.
Killing the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf, saving the situation for the Human Race.
At this moment, the Red Hero, in their eyes, was practically a high-quality idol.
“Red Hero, which country are you from?” In the crowd, Bi Yaoyao, this little lass, couldn’t help but ask, causing the Lou Yi’s clone beside her to look strange.
Seeing that everyone was giving him their attention.
Transforming into Red Hero, Lou Yi said calmly, “I am from Zhao Kingdom.”
