The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 718 - : Mutual Suspicion

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Mutual Suspicion

“Get lost!” The Demon Suppressing King roared, his blood and Qi rising like a dragon. His Demon-slaying Sword erupted with a brilliant dazzling Sword Qi.

The five incoming Demon Kings, which had originally been very aggressive, wanted to tear the Demon Suppressing King apart. Yet, when they encountered the Sword Qi of the Demon-slaying Sword, they all revealed expressions of terror. The Demon Kings halted their momentum, and dared not approach the Demon Suppressing King.

“Beasts are always beasts!” The Demon Suppressing King roared with unrestrained laughter, and swung his sword towards the five Demon Kings.

The slashing Sword Qi howled out, carrying the aura of total destruction. Dozens of Demon Beasts were swept by the Sword Qi. Before they could even screech, their bodies were shattered by the Sword Qi.

It wasn’t a simple severing, but an instantaneous fragmentation of the bodies when they came into contact with the Sword Qi.

Even the Four Transformations Realm Demon Beasts, with their formidable physical strength, couldn’t withstand this destructive Sword Qi. They were either slashed in half or maimed.

The Demon Suppressing King was too powerful. His true strength was only revealed through this battle.

In the past, the warriors of Xuan Country knew of the existence of the Demon Suppressing King but had no idea he was so powerful. He could simultaneously battle several Demon Kings and still hold the upper hand.

At this moment, the formidable strength displayed by the Demon Suppressing King inspired the crowd. Many warriors started to counterattack in unison.

The Silver Fox, seeing this, had a touch of annoyance in its eyes and let out a roar.

An atrocious wave of Demon Qi swept everything in its path. Some people’s bodies exploded on the spot, effectively shaken to death by the Silver Fox’s roar.

Even the strong Spirit Vein Realm warriors couldn’t withstand the Silver Fox’s roar, bleeding from every facial orifice.

Accompanied by the Silver Fox’s roar, the previously demoralised Demon Kings were suddenly rejuvenated, as if they had gained a mysterious power.

“Not good!” Prince Hai’s expression changed. The human warriors were suppressed by the roar of the Silver Fox, their strength weakened, while the Demon Beasts were extremely excited. If this trend continued, the situation might reverse once again.

The Demon Suppressing King also saw this. The Silver Fox was the real key. As long as it existed, the beasts wouldn’t disperse.

Moreover, the Silver Fox was highly intelligent, capable of directing the beasts, allowing these originally barbaric beasts to launch attacks in an orderly manner.

If it weren’t for the Silver Fox’s commands, even if there were numerous beasts, the Demon Suppressing King would still be able to resist them.

“It must be slain!” The Demon Suppressing King said to himself. With the swing of his longsword, he plunged alone into the pack of beasts.

“Don’t act recklessly!” Prince Hai and several other strong warriors tried to stop him, but it was too late. The Demon Suppressing King had already charged into the crowd of beasts and disappeared from view in an instant.

The very next moment, a surge of Sword Qi swept out, killing many beasts. They couldn’t stop the Demon Suppressing King’s progression; before him, the Demon Beasts below the Demon King level were as insignificant as chickens and dogs, incapable of withstanding a single blow.

Roar!!!

The five Demon Kings blocked the path of the Demon Suppressing King and launched a fierce attack on him.

“Death to those who block me!” The Demon Suppressing King roared and fought fiercely with the five Demon Kings.

This round of confrontation made the Demon Suppressing King realize the bad situation; the power of these five Demon Kings had increased compared to before, seemingly influenced by the Silver Fox.

Nevertheless, the Demon Suppressing King wasn’t afraid. He had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even when facing five Demon Kings, he was still confident of slaying them.

“Demon Suppressing King, we have come to support you!” At that moment, several warriors rushed over to fight alongside the Demon Suppressing King.

The Demon Suppressing King glanced at these people and just nodded. All of them were people who had lived in the Demon Suppressing City for many years, very familiar to him.

But at the very moment the Demon Suppressing King turned his attention away, a chilling sensation rose from his heart. He abruptly turned back.

A pitch-black short blade was coming towards him from behind. The Demon Suppressing King roared in anger, dodging the short blade, but was caught off guard as another cold arrow shot out, aiming directly at the back of his head.

“Away!” The Demon Suppressing King roared in fury, releasing his aura vigorously, shaking the attackers off and making all of them spew blood and fly backwards.

These attackers screamed in chaos, their bodies bursting with an eerie Demon Qi. Their eyes became like those of beasts, devoid of sanity.

Seeing this, the Demon Suppressing King felt an even greater sense of dread.

“What? There are people who’ve undergone demonification hidden among us!”

“That’s impossible? The Demon Suppressing City is like an iron bucket, how can beasts infiltrate?”

“Everyone be careful! There are beast spies among us!”

—

For a moment, all kinds of voices were heard, making the Demon Suppressing King’s face increasingly grave. Those who were shouting alarmingly clearly had ulterior motives, intentionally trying to create chaos among the people of the Demon Suppressing City.

“Calm down! Whoever dares to talk nonsense will be executed on the spot!” Prince Hai also sensed something amiss and immediately issued a command to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Unfortunately, many people had already witnessed the scene where the Demon Suppressing King was ambushed. Everyone wondered how many more demonified people were among them, fearful that someone might suddenly backstab them while they were fighting the beasts.

The city defenders, who had just started to gain the upper hand, instantly started to collapse due to this minor incident.

Once panic set in and trust was lost in one’s neighbors, they couldn’t fully commit themselves to combating the beasts.

The Silver Fox let out an unbridled laugh, seeming to mock the human warriors who were all starting to suspect each other. Its gem-like eyes revealed a noticeable sense of ridicule.

“Kill!!!” The Demon Suppressing King realized he couldn’t delay this any longer. He had to slay one or two Demon Kings to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, if this continued—regardless of how powerful he was, in the face of a disintegrated morale and mutual suspicion, the Demon Suppressing City wouldn’t have the slightest chance of being defended.

“Ahh!!!”

“Damn it! It’s you!”

“What are you doing? We’re brothers!”

—

Amid all the screams and exclamations, dozens of demonified warriors suddenly attacked and slew numerous human warriors.

For a while, chaos ensued. Some people gritted their teeth, on their guard against everyone around them.

“You must be a demonified person! I’ll kill you!” A young man finally couldn’t withstand the pressure and turned against an elderly man next to him.

“You’re talking nonsense!” The old man retorted, angrily fighting back. The two started to fight.

Not only one or two of them, but many others also attacked the people beside them. Whoever seemed even slightly suspicious was immediately seen as a demonified person.

Seeing this, a look of grief spread across Prince Hai’s face, as he sighed long and deep, “It’s over. This city isn’t going to be destroyed by the beasts, but by our own hands.”
