Chapter 92: Chapter 92: You Kill the Demonic Beasts, I’ll Collect the Corpses
Lin Yi finally got a clear look at the person who had just tried to ambush him.
It was actually a Blood Drop Believer.
He wore a long robe and a hat.
The brim was pulled down low, completely obscuring his face.
But the talent entries above his head were perfectly clear.
[1-Star Martial Artist Certification]
[Zealot (Blue): A crazed believer who has forgotten himself and devoted his entire being to his religion.]
[Homicidal (Purple): Supermale syndrome. Please stay away from people like this.]
Lin Yi could see all of the Blood Drop Believer’s talents.
’So does everyone who joins Blood Drop have supermale syndrome?’
’Are ordinary people not even qualified to join?’
A faint, mocking smile crossed Lin Yi’s face.
The next moment, the Blood Drop Believer lunged at Lin Yi again without a word.
Seeing this, Lin Yi chuckled and said, "Still so impatient? Then I’ll send you on your way!"
BOOM—
Lin Yi transformed into a streak of golden light.
Like a missile, he shot toward the believer.
How could a mere 1-star believer possibly withstand the power of the Perfect Golden Light Fist?
The instant the two of them made contact,
Lin Yi’s Golden Light Fist smashed into the believer’s body.
The believer immediately felt his internal organs get obliterated.
A beam of golden light pierced straight through the believer’s body.
In the blink of an eye, all signs of life vanished.
THUD...
The Blood Drop Believer knelt on the ground, his head hanging low.
Lin Yi glanced down at him, his expression completely unfazed.
He had already tested the power of the Golden Light Fist on demon beasts before.
It could basically end a fight in a single punch.
But this was the first time he had tried it on a person.
However, there was no difference from the demon beasts; he was taken care of in one punch all the same.
Lin Yi paid it no more mind and walked past the believer’s corpse.
As for the believer’s two talents...
’Even a dog wouldn’t want them...’
Lin Yi had been walking for less than twenty minutes when
a dozen or so more Blood Drop Believers ran over.
"We found him! He’s... already dead!"
One believer approached his comrade and saw him kneeling there, completely devoid of life.
He quickly turned and spoke to the other believers behind him.
At his words, the rest of the believers became enraged.
"He can’t have gone far. After him!"
one of the believers snarled through clenched teeth.
They all chased off in the direction Lin Yi had gone.
...
In the city.
The demon beasts were still searching everywhere for their ’prey’.
Tang Zhan and his men from the Martial Arts Police Station had also joined the hunt.
With his blade in hand, he dashed through the streets and alleys,
searching for the demon beasts.
There were also police officers in uniform. Since they were employed by the Martial Arts Police Station, they were naturally all practitioners of Martial Arts.
They showed no fear in the face of the demon beasts.
Besides, the members of the Martial Arts Police Station operated in squads.
With 5 to 10 people per squad, they could handle being surrounded by demon beasts with ease.
In addition to them, other Demon Hunters had also joined the fray.
This night was destined to be a restless one.
In an alleyway,
a few low-level demon beasts were huddled together, discussing something.
Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle engine stopped just outside the alley.
The demon beasts quickly glanced toward the entrance.
They saw a man in a pink helmet, over 1.8 meters tall,
a burly figure, dismounting from a heavy motorcycle.
Seeing that he was alone yet still dared to walk into the alley,
the demon beasts exchanged glances, hesitating for a moment.
The man cracked his neck. "Don’t waste time. Come at me all at once!"
At his words, the demon beasts seemed to be enraged.
They charged at the man together.
The man’s lips curled into a contemptuous smirk.
The next moment, a giant blade appeared in his hand.
SKRRRRING—
The giant blade scraped against the wall, sending a shower of sparks.
PFFT PFFT PFFT...
In the blink of an eye, all the demon beasts had been brutally killed by the giant blade.
Their bodies were all dismembered; not a single one was left intact.
The man shook his head and put the giant blade away.
He turned, walked out of the alley, put his pink helmet back on, and rode off on his motorcycle.
...
On a road.
Several demon beasts were surrounding and attacking three Demon Hunters.
After several clashes, the Demon Hunters were gradually losing the upper hand.
In just a few more minutes, they would likely become a late-night snack for these demon beasts.
But just then,
a man wearing a suit and glasses,
who looked refined and gentle, walked toward them.
"This generation of Demon Hunters is truly disappointing.
To be in such a sorry state fighting just a few low-level demon beasts!"
"From now on, I suggest you don’t call yourselves Demon Hunters. This isn’t a line of work just anyone can handle!"
"Huh?"
As the man in the suit spoke,
he walked toward them at an unhurried pace.
The next moment, he transformed into a black afterimage and pounced on the demon beasts.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—
The demon beasts were like punching bags.
The man in the suit took them out one by one with a single punch each, blasting them to death.
It didn’t even take five minutes for him to kill every last one.
His suit wasn’t even stained with a single speck of dust.
This left the three Demon Hunters completely dumbfounded.
The man in the suit glanced back at them. "Still not going home? Do you really want to offer yourselves up as a free meal for the demon beasts?"
After saying his piece, the man in the suit paid them no more attention.
He strolled away in another direction.
...
WHOOSH—
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!—
A volley of arrows shot through the air.
Each arrow killed a demon beast.
On the school’s athletic field, several demon beasts had become the hunted.
They fled in terror.
But no matter where they ran, an arrow, as if it had eyes of its own, would always find and pierce their bodies.
Without exception, all these demon beasts were shot and killed...
...except for the two 2-star Demon Beasts in the center of the field.
Their limbs were all pinned down by arrows.
Clearly, the archer had no intention of killing them so quickly.
Instead, they were being used to summon their kin for a rescue...
This was why there were already more than twenty demon beast corpses on the school field.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Xiaoyu, I think you need to see a psychiatrist!"
Sun Lang said, looking down at Yin Xiaoyu from his perch on top of a basketball hoop.
"Why?"
Yin Xiaoyu held a longbow, her sharp gaze scanning the school’s surroundings.
At the same time, she kept an eye on the two 2-star Demon Beasts
to prevent them from slipping away when she wasn’t looking.
These demon beasts all had different abilities.
Among them were some with healing talents.
Killing demon beasts like gecko spirits, for example, was rather difficult.
Sun Lang glanced at her. "How did you even come up with this tactic of besieging a point to strike the reinforcements?"
"Leaving two 2-star Demon Beasts alive to make them call their friends over?"
At his words, Yin Xiaoyu smiled.
She wasn’t some cold and aloof Hunter.
Quite the opposite, she had a cute face, wore her red hair—as fiery as a flame—in twin ponytails,
and was dressed in a tight leather top and leather pants.
She didn’t look like the kind of person who could come up with such a sinister plan.
Yin Xiaoyu chuckled. "I’m just lazy. Too lazy to go find the demon beasts one by one, so I have to make them come to me!"
Just as they were talking,
another demon beast suddenly leaped over the school’s outer wall.
A cold glint flashed in Yin Xiaoyu’s eyes as she drew her bow and aimed at the demon beast.
Just as it was about to reach the center of the field,
WHOOSH—
an arrow streaked through the air like a bolt of silk.
SQUELCH! It pierced through the demon beast’s body.
A fatal shot, giving the demon beast no chance to struggle...
"How many have we killed?"
Yin Xiaoyu’s cute smile returned.
Sun Lang sighed lightly. "Twenty-eight!"
Even Yin Xiaoyu was a little startled.
Looking at the demon beast corpses on the field, she murmured, "Looks like a lot of demon beasts entered the city tonight. I’ve already killed almost thirty here!"
"The captain and Old Mo must have killed even more, right?"
Sun Lang didn’t answer.
He looked up at the distant night sky.
Suddenly, in the darkest part of the sky, a faint crimson glow began to appear.
He slowly stood up on the basketball hoop. "Xiaoyu, look over there!"
"Hm? What is it?"
Yin Xiaoyu looked back at the night sky, puzzled.
When she saw the patch of red, her brow furrowed slightly.
"Is... is a great demon about to appear?"
"Never mind that for now! Stop playing around here. Kill them and let’s find the captain!"
"Okay!"
Yin Xiaoyu nodded.
She then fired two arrows at the two 2-star Demon Beasts.
The next moment, the two demon beasts had their heads pierced by the arrows,
putting a definitive end to their wicked lives...
After dealing with the two demon beasts, Yin Xiaoyu and Sun Lang ran out of the school.
...
"Sister Xue, what are you doing here?"
Having just returned to the city,
Lin Yi ran into Snow Angel.
A few demon beast corpses lay around her.
The battle had clearly just ended; the bodies of the demon beasts were still warm.
Snow Angel glanced back at Lin Yi.
"I’m not the only one out here cleaning up these demon beasts. The captain and the others are out too!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.
But after a moment’s thought, he understood.
Tonight, an unprecedented number of demon beasts had poured into the city.
You could run into one or two just by walking down the street.
As the captain of a Demon Hunting Team, Chu Zhengxiong naturally wouldn’t sit by and do nothing.
It was normal for them to be out Demon Hunting tonight.
"These demon beasts are all after me, aren’t they? Sorry to cause you all so much trouble!"
Lin Yi laughed awkwardly.
If it weren’t for those videos from earlier today that got posted online,
this situation with a massive influx of demon beasts into the city tonight wouldn’t have happened.
This made Lin Yi feel a little guilty.
Snow Angel shook her head. "It has nothing to do with you!"
"There’s nothing wrong with a Demon Hunter killing demons. The one at fault is the person who uploaded the video!"
"Don’t overthink it!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded lightly.
He felt a bit relieved. "Right, I ran into some people from Blood Drop in the suburbs earlier!"
"The guy didn’t say anything, just ambushed me. I suspect tonight’s events might have something to do with Blood Drop."
Snow Angel paused, then nodded.
"It’s possible. The people from Blood Drop have always liked to associate with demon beasts and other strange creatures!"
"They were like that back in the New District!"
"They’ve certainly lent a helping hand to the demon beasts entering the city tonight!"
"It’s too dangerous out here. You should just go home!"
"Leave these demon beasts to us!"
A hint of worry flashed in Snow Angel’s eyes.
But Lin Yi shook his head. "No matter what, this whole thing started because of me. How could I go home and sleep soundly while you all are out here cleaning up my mess?"
"Since I ran into you, why don’t we team up?"
"You kill the demon beasts, and I’ll collect the bodies. How about that?"
"Collect the bodies for what?"
Snow Angel was taken aback and asked strangely.
Lin Yi ignored her surprised look and walked over to collect all the demon beast corpses Snow Angel had just slain into his Storage Magical Artifact.
After finishing, he turned back and grinned. "To sell at the black market for cash!"
Snow Angel: "..."
