Chapter 228 – Achievement of Slaying a Thousand Demonic Beasts, First Kill Quest
Chapter 228 – Kill a Thousand Demonic Beasts Achievement, First Kill Mission
“Uh ……”
The Cold Ice Demon Tiger’s eyes widened at once.
Immediately afterward, a bang was heard, and the large head of the Cold Ice Demon Tiger suddenly seemed like a rotten watermelon, instantly exploding into pieces!
This scene immediately stunned the three great demons, the Threaded Silver Beaked Sparrow, the One-Horned Glistening Tiger, and the Flame-Tailed Peacock, who were on the side.
They simply couldn’t understand.
How could Jiang Chengxuan, who had clearly been fighting back and forth with himself before, suddenly erupt with such terrifying strength?
Could it be that since the beginning, this person he had been hiding his strength?
As soon as he thought of this, the three-headed great demon’s heart was suddenly terrified.
At that moment, they no longer cared about blocking Jiang Chengxuan, and their figures shied away one after another.
However, Jiang Chengxuan, who had already exposed part of his strength, wouldn’t let them go so easily?
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chengxuan’s Gengjin Void Sword flashed three times in succession in midair.
In an instant, three extremely sharp sword awnings, which were clearly tracing three arcs in mid-air, arrived in front of the three great demons in the blink of an eye!
“Roar!”
The Threaded Silver Beaked Sparrow, the One-Horned Glistening Tiger, and the Flame-Tailed Peacock all let out heaven-shaking hisses from their mouths.
Their bodies were even bursting with unprecedentedly powerful demonic power.
At the same time, there was only one thought in their hearts.
That is, no matter what, they must block the other party’s attack.
As long as he could block the other party’s attack this time, then if he wanted to make another move against himself, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have that chance.
Unless he was willing to watch his companions fall.
However, the three-headed great demon’s thoughts were very good, but unfortunately, the truth was not as they wished.
Under the three sword awnings, a lightning barrier laid down by the Threaded Silver-billed Sparrow was the first to be shattered.
Large swathes of scattered lightning suddenly rose in the air.
“Chirp!”
The Threaded Silver-billed Sparrow let out a high-pitched hiss from its mouth.
Its body was instantly covered by a layer of golden color, as if it was a metallic luster.
Obviously, it had already pushed its own fleshly body defense to the limit.
Tear-
With a sound that sounded as if cloth was being torn.
The Threaded Silver-billed Sparrow’s fleshly body defense, which it thought was foolproof, was actually instantly torn apart by that sword awn.
A clattering sound followed.
It was then seen that the Threaded Silver-billed Sparrow was directly split in half by that sword aura from head to toe!
“Roar!”
It was at the same time.
The Unicorn Glistening Tiger and Flame-tailed Peacock in the other two places.
The end was no better than the Threaded Silver-billed Finch.
Under the sword awnings of the Gengjin Void Sword.
All of the defenses that the two third-ranked demonic beasts relied on were shattered one by one.
Eventually giggling and pulling twice.
The two third-ranked demonic beasts were all split into two and fell on the spot!
And at this time, not even a breath of time had passed.
Jiang Chengxuan’s people were already close to those four third rank upper grade demonic beasts.
Buzz!
Sword awns gulped.
The Two-Headed Demonic Serpent that was closest to him bore the brunt of it.
Only a dang sound was heard.
A scythe-shaped magic treasure managed to resist the attack of the Gengjin Void Sword.
However, the next moment, the two heads of the Two-Headed Demonic Serpent were changing their colors in unison.
Only to see that the scythe-shaped magic treasure it had just offered up, on its surface, a huge gap had already appeared!
What is this situation?
What kind of magic treasure is that on the other side? Surprisingly, it was able to damage my treasure.
“Meow!”
It was at the same time.
The Dark Sky Cat seemed to have sensed the Two-Headed Demon Serpent’s situation and instantly swept over from a short distance away.
Within its pupils, a touch of demonic color instantly shone, and a soft cat cry was even emitted from its mouth.
However, it was this cat’s cry that caused Jiang Chengxuan’s head to suddenly buzz.
All sorts of visions suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
“Hee hee!”
Accompanied by a light laughter.
The sharp claws that flashed with a ghostly cold luster were already in front of Jiang Chengxuan’s neck.
Suddenly.
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes, which were still blank, became clear.
He flashed a rather profound cold smile at the Dark Sky Cat.
The Dark Sky Cat’s pupils shrank, instinctively sensing a hint of something wrong.
However, in the next moment, a blazing flame steeply rose up in the middle of its sea of consciousness, as if it was going to burn everything in the world, causing its mouth to instantly let out a hiss that was completely unlike the soft hiss it had just heard.
“Roar!”
As it let out this hiss, crimson blood flowed out of its eyes and nose.
Clang!
It was at this instant that a tens of feet long terrifying sword awn blasted down towards its head!
Dammit!
Dammit! Dammit!
The Dark Sky Cat’s heart roared madly.
The colors in its eyes continuously flowed and changed.
Eventually, above its head, a yellow bell coalesced.
Ding bell-
The clear bell rang in midair, actually causing the huge sword mane that was falling to pause in midair for a little while.
The Dark Sky Cat also took advantage of this time and swept out in a robust figure.
A flash of resentment swept across its eyes.
It was just about to greet the Two-Headed Demon Snake and launch a counterattack against Jiang Chengxuan, but when it turned its head, it saw an incomparably terrified expression from those two heads of the Two-Headed Demon Snake.
What’s going on here?
Just as this thought flashed through its mind, it was shocked to realize that it had already flown up at some point.
Below it, a huge headless cat corpse was staggering and flopping to the ground.
Is that …… that my body? When did I …… do it?
These thoughts flashed intermittently in its mind, and its consciousness, then fell into eternal darkness.
Original.
Just now in the moment when it blocked the positive attack of the Gengjin Void Sword, the Gengjin Void Sword had already transformed into a shadowless and invisible mode, and in the case where it did not have the slightest awareness, it directly took away its head.
Since then, the eight third-order demonic beasts that had come to attack had already died five times.
Without saying a word, the Two-Headed Demon Snake turned around and fled.
Seeing this, the Moon Swallowing Silver Wolf and the Fighting Demon Ape that were combining their efforts to attack Hua Mengyue were also taken aback in their hearts.
They simply did not expect that in just a short while, the good situation would be gone.
The eight third-order demonic beasts that they had arrived here had lost five of them in the blink of an eye.
How could they fight?
The Swallowing Moon Silver Wolf let out a long whistle from its mouth.
The entire huge silver wolf body had already turned into a flash of light and disappeared into the distant sky.
The remaining Fighting Demon Ape was belligerent though.
But it was likewise not stupid.
The two surviving helpers have already left, if it still continues to stay, then there is only one end, that is, to be beheaded by the two people in front of him.
So in the next second, the Fighting Demon Ape similarly made a vertical leap.
Its figure quickly chased down in the direction that the Moon Swallowing Silver Wolf had gone.
Jiang Chengxuan had the intention to go after it, but then it would undoubtedly have to expose more of himself, and there was some more to lose than to gain.
So after thinking about it again and again, he pressed down these thoughts for the time being, and turned his gaze towards the group of low-ranked demonic beasts that were desperately retreating down below.
It was precisely at this time that a system prompt suddenly came from within his mind.
[Ding]
[Releasing system mission, requesting the host to complete the achievement of killing a thousand demonic beasts]
[Current Progress: 0%]
Eh?
Hearing this prompt from the system, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart was just slightly stunned.
Good lord, has the task of killing demonic beasts finally come?
But looking at this situation, those demonic beasts that he had killed before, the system didn’t seem to count them this time.
Since this is the case, then if he continues, he will have to bully the small and go on a killing spree.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Hua Mengyue, who was over there, had already arrived in front of him.
At this time, her pretty face looked a little pale.
Obviously, in the battle just now, she had already suffered some injuries.
“Fellow Daoist Flower, how is it? Is it alright?”
Seeing Hua Mengyue come over, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but be concerned.
Hua Mengyue shook her head.
“Nothing serious.”
With that, her beautiful eyes looked towards Jiang Chengxuan and said:
“But this time, it’s thanks to fellow Daoist Jiang.
If it wasn’t for Fellow Daoist Jiang, concubine me this time, I’m afraid that I’d really be in a bad way.”
Her words were not false.
With her cultivation and strength, if she took on two demonic beasts of the same level in a row, she could barely manage.
With three, it would be extremely strenuous.
With four, she was already in danger of falling.
“Fellow Daoist Flower is polite.”
Jiang Chengxuan, however, smiled and shook his head.
“This time, since you and I are companions, we should have watched over each other.
Not to mention that with Fairy’s heritage, I believe that even without my help, you should be able to turn danger into safety.”
The two men exchanged pleasantries.
At the end, he saw Hua Mengyue looking at Jiang Chengxuan, and a trace of admiration couldn’t help but show on her face as she said:
“I’ve heard before that you, Daoist Jiang, along with your Dao Couple, resolved a Violet Mansion ninth level guest minister of the Zheng State’s Shangguan Family, as well as a few people who were attempting to try to hit on you guys.
At that time, I knew that the strength of your Dao Friend Jiang and your Dao Couple was bound to be extraordinary.
But today, I realized after seeing you that your strength, Fellow Daoist Jiang, is far above what we imagined.”
“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Flower is overpraising.”
Jiang Chengxuan shook his head modestly.
He didn’t say more on this topic with Hua Mengyue, but instead directly changed the subject and said:
“Right now, since you and I have freed up our hands, we might as well go over to the east gate.
How about seeing if we can have another chance to leave a few demonic beasts behind?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Hua Mengyue instantly nodded.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang is right.
In that case, there’s no time to lose, so let’s go over there now.”
After saying that, the two of them were together and swept towards the direction of the eastern gate of Ancient Yuan City.
Only before that, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t forget his own mission.
Only to see him casually offer up his Gengjin Void Sword, and make a vicious chop at the crowd of low-ranked demonic beasts that were speedily withdrawing and escaping.
Rumble!
In an instant, the sky shook.
Countless low-ranked demonic beasts, under Jiang Chengxuan’s sword, turned their flesh and blood into mud and flew away.
And the progress of his quest was increasing at an extremely terrifying rate.
[5%, 18%, 33%, 41%]
In just a few breaths of time, Jiang Chengxuan’s quest progress had gone from 0% to 41% in one go.
If it wasn’t for the war situation at the East Gate, Jiang Chengxuan could have taken this opportunity to complete this mission in one go.
But right now, even if he went to the east gate, after resolving those third level demonic beasts, he still had the opportunity to complete his system mission.
Boom!
At the moment when Jiang Chengxuan and Hua Mengyue arrived at the east gate of Guyuan City, the eight third-ranked demonic beasts such as the Blade Black Eagles that were fighting with Jiang Rendao, Li Fei, Bai Zixuan, and Bai Yuanchen immediately transformed into seven streams of light, and flew towards the depths of the Guyuan Mountain Range in the distance.
They had obviously already known about the situation that had happened at the North Gate.
Therefore, as soon as Jiang Chengxuan and Hua Mengyue arrived, they left without saying a word and without the slightest hesitation.
This also made Jiang Chengxuan and Hua Mengyue, who had wanted to leave behind a few third-order demonic beasts, pounce.
They were still a step too slow.
This thought flashed through the minds of the two.
At that moment, they saw that Jiang Chengxuan was suddenly striking again.
The Gengjin Void Sword suddenly erupted with an incomparably bright light.
Then he saw a tens of feet long ghastly sword light, and made a vicious chop at the crowd of low-ranked demonic beasts below that were withdrawing and escaping.
Rumble!
In a blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of low-ranked demonic beasts were all turned into blood mist and dispersed under Jiang Chengxuan’s sword.
[Ding]
At the same time, a familiar electronic synthesized tone suddenly sounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
[Congratulations to the host, for achieving the achievement of killing a thousand demonic beasts, obtaining the Demon Slaying Talent +1, and a Deduction Bead].
【Demon Beheading Talent: This is an active talent, when activated, it can randomly increase the power of the enemy demonic beasts by 10%-30%】.
That is to say, it increases the power by 10% to 30%.
This could definitely be considered a rather remarkable talent.
Don’t look at this 10%-30%, it doesn’t seem like much.
However, when you are fighting against the enemy, if you suddenly do this, it may become the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, and become an absolute factor in winning.
In addition, that one deduction bead was just enough to help him complete the second layer of the Dao of Heavenly Prediction, causing his cultivation of this method to enter the next stage.
All in all, this time’s system reward was considered a rather powerful reward.
After all, this task, for the current him, was just a matter of waving his hand.
Especially at the present moment, when a great war broke out between the human and demon races, it really shouldn’t be too easy to accomplish.
[Ding]
But just at this moment, the system’s voice, once again resounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
[Release system task, please host to complete the first kill of the fourth-order demonic beast achievement]
What? Killing a fourth-order demonic beast?
Jiang Chengxuan was stunned in his heart.
A moment ago, he was still saying that this time’s system quest wasn’t difficult to accomplish at all.
As a result, the next second, the system gave him such a task.
Killing a fourth rank demonic beast, wasn’t this asking him to kill a Jindan Demon King?
With his current strength and cultivation, escaping under the attack of a fourth rank demon king, that might not be too much of a problem.
But for him to defeat the other party, or even kill them, that would still be quite difficult.
In a short period of time, it was unlikely to even be accomplished.
The system had really given itself, a huge problem.
With all sorts of thoughts flashing through his mind, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t continue to dwell on this system task in front of him, but instead, Jiang paid attention and landed on the four people in front of him, Jiang Rendao.
Discovered that just now the battle, four people body, more or less have some injuries.
Fortunately, none of them were particularly serious.
They should be able to recover after just a little rest and recuperation.
At the same time, Jiang Rendao, Li Fei, Bai Zixuan, and Bai Yuanchen, who were present at the scene, all had their gazes fall on Jiang Chengxuan and Hua Mengyue.
To be more accurate, it should have fallen on Jiang Chengxuan alone.
