Chapter 412: Months (1)

How bleak.?Xu Jingming looked at the deserted village in the distance.

The Demon Vanquishing World was vast, and just Cheng’an Prefecture spanned almost 1,500 kilometers. Other than the prefecture and county cities being densely populated, few people lived outside the cities. Vast areas were void of people.

The Chen family made it sound like they would be miserable, but what’s really miserable is this village in the countryside.?Xu Jingming looked at the dilapidated village in front of him.?Bandit looting might wipe out a village. The descent of a demon might also wipe out a village. Hunger and famine can also wipe out a village.

If one wants to escape a miserable fate, they have to think of a way to move to the city. This is the method the world’s officials use to force the natives to practice martial arts!

Xu Jingming knew very well that although some wealthy figures enjoyed life, they would realize that they had wasted decades when they woke up in reality. As for some natives who lived in poverty, if they could work hard for decades to gain basic mastery of martial arts, they could become cosmic lifeforms and gain a lifespan of thousands of years when they woke up in reality.

This village was wiped out by a demon.

Xu Jingming walked close and activated his Heavenly Eye between his brows to observe the entire village. He could see white bones, and they were almost complete. He couldn’t even see any fatal injuries.

There are so many demons in the Demon Vanquishing World.?Xu Jingming looked up at the mountains in front of him.?According to the intelligence I received, there’s a Dongming Mountain ahead.

There are dozens of Dongming Mountains in Cheng’an Prefecture. As long as one charges up Dongming Mountain, they will definitely find a demon! But how many people dare to do so?

Xu Jingming took a step and turned into starlight.

Other Demon Vanquishers usually didn’t dare to charge into Dongming Mountain! One needed sufficient strength and courage to do this. The other fourth and fifth-realm Demon Vanquishers had many concerns and weren’t willing to wage a large-scale war with Dongming Mountain.

Moreover, those fourth and fifth realm Demon Vanquishers didn’t have the guts to refine an Earth Demon with their minds. This was because the price to pay once one’s mind was injured was too serious.

However, Xu Jingming dared! This was because even if he was injured, Light Rays’ Visualization could allow him to recover in a short period of time. Moreover, it wasn’t easy to injure him mentally after he cleared the mysterious land’s tests.

I came to Demon Vanquishing World to hone my mind. Cheng’an Prefecture is only the beginning.?Xu Jingming also understood this.?Since I’m confident, I’ll advance with courage!

As a peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute—one of the three strongest factions of humanity in the universe—and with him possessing the Light Rays legacy, how long would it take for him to become an Origin lifeform if he was hesitant at refining mere Earth Demons?

Whoosh.

Starlight traversed the forest and quickly arrived at the foot of Dongming Mountain before revealing his figure.

Another Dongming Mountain peak. Let’s begin.?Xu Jingming took a step up the mountain, and with every step he took, he appeared 100 meters away.

“Come, cheers.”

“Drink up!”

On Dongming Mountain, two people were drinking happily.

“Brother Chang, I heard that you married another concubine. This is your 32nd concubine, right?” a thin man said with a smile.

“This is the 39th one. Your news is outdated,” the bearded man said with a carefree smile. “All 300 villages in the vicinity of my Black Carp Mountain listen to me. I don’t like killing people and only like being a groom. I’m already very kind.”

“But you abduct anyone that looks good. I’m just puzzled. It’s fine if you get like ten concubines, but you just keep marrying concubines. And when one batch dies, you get a new batch.” The thin man shook his head. “Don’t you find it annoying doing this too often?”

“How is it annoying? This is freaking exciting.” The bearded man’s eyes lit up excitedly. “It’s better to be a demon. I didn’t touch a woman when I was alive. Now that I’m dead…”

Bang! Bang!

Black and white lightning descended, but the two bolts of lightning didn’t entangle. Instead, they struck the two demons chatting and drinking, instantly blasting them into nothingness and leaving only two wisps of intrinsic demonic aura.

“Collect.” Xu Jingming held the black jade bottle and put the two wisps of intrinsic demonic aura into it.

Xu Jingming opened his Heavenly Eye and looked up at the mountaintop.?There are actually so many demons on this Dongming Mountain? It’s the most number of demons I’ve encountered in the past few months of hunting.

Then, I’ll try my best to catch the big fish.?Xu Jingming used his Heavenly Eye to search for the big fish.

…

In a pavilion on the mountaintop.

“Master, that Demon Vanquisher, Wu Ming, has been acting crazy for the past few months.” The old woman was filled with anxiety. “He actually left the prefecture capital to hunt down Earth Demons. He has killed so many Earth Demons in Cheng’an Prefecture that they are terrified and uneasy. None of them dare to stay in their nest.”

Many Earth Demons originally occupied an area and were famous.

Xu Jingming used the information to hunt them down one by one! It was mainly because refining Human Demons didn’t help much at his current level. Therefore, he mainly targeted Earth Demons!

Just killing three Earth Demons frightened the other Earth Demons into hiding.

“The Earth Demons left their residences and went into hiding,” the old woman said. “This Wu Ming ended up charging into the Dongming Mountains. According to the latest information, he has already attacked seven Dongming Mountain peaks.”

“I’m aware.” The red-shirted woman sighed softly. “In the past few months, he has killed five envoys from Dongming Mountain and two Earth Demons who didn’t join Dongming Mountain—a total of seven Earth Demons. Including Demon God Green Lake and City Envoy Zhang Xiu, that makes a total of nine Earth Demons.”

“He’s crazy. He doesn’t take our Dongming Mountain seriously at all,” the old woman said anxiously. “We have to punish him severely to intimidate him. Otherwise, it will be chaos if these Demon Vanquishers act up as well.”
