Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3160: Chapter 112: First Kill! Taoist Master Level 4

”Fallen, you’ve already made it here, why hurry to leave?”

A soft laugh rang out from the corner.

As the voice sounded, a graceful, elegant figure stepped out from the shadows, appearing in the eyes of the Great Commander Fallen.

It was none other than the Tai Yin Ming Spirit Tree, Wang Ming.

As Wang Ming appeared, immensely thick branches extended from the void behind her, turning into sky-covering, imprisoning vines, wildly wrapping towards the Great Commander Fallen.

Meanwhile.

The Blissful Master, Taoist Master Taichu, and Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the three Taoist Master-level powerhouses appeared one after another, charging at the Great Commander Fallen!

The terrifying energy fluctuations instantly shrouded the entire Xueyi Demonic Palace.

Only Taoist Master Tian Yan remained suspended above the palace, unaffected by the intense battle below.

His task was to maintain the Heavenly Rotation of Nine stars array, naturally not requiring participation in direct combat.

This operation was extremely important to the various tribes within the Human Sanctuary.

Wang Shouzhe had just one request, which was absolutely not to let even a trace of the Great Commander Fallen’s spirit remnant escape.

Facing such a perilous situation, the heart of the Great Commander Fallen grew cold to the extreme, his anger at betrayal uncontrollable, causing him to roar furiously.

But what use was it?

In a confined space, how could he have any room to resist when four Taoist Masters besieged a single Great Commander? Moreover, the Blissful Master’s cultivation base had already reached the Mid Stage of the Hunyuan Realm, even in a solo fight, he surpassed the Great Commander Fallen by a margin.

Under a righteous beating, the Great Commander Fallen was quickly beaten to within an inch of his life.

The trusted aides in the City of Fallen sensed the commotion in Xueyi Demonic Palace, detected something amiss, and wanted to come for support but were blocked by other Demon Lords.

Soon enough.

Wang Shouzhe, Dragon Blood Demon Lord, and a group of betraying Demon Lords gathered within Xueyi Demonic Palace.

On the brink of death, the Great Commander Fallen looked with a venomous gaze at the group of betraying Demon Lords, his voice filled with anger and unwillingness: ”Why? Why betray the Demonic Clan, betray this Great Commander?”

”We have not betrayed the Demonic Clan, we merely abandoned a shameless, faithless Great Commander!” Demon Lord Yanqiong immediately turned and scolded, ”Fallen, as the Great Commander of the Demonic Clan, you didn’t strive to open territories and achieve greatness for the Demonic Clan, but instead seized an opportunity while the Great Commander Apocalypse was in distress. For a shameless Great Commander like you, what’s the face to become our lord?”

”Exactly, although the Dragon Blood Demon Lord is currently only a Demon Lord, he is loyal and trustworthy, and will surely lead our Dragon Blood Demon Domain towards glory.” Demon Lord Xietong enthusiastically pledged loyalty to Dragon Blood Demon Lord.

Speaking, he began to read out the prepared list of the ”Eighteen Crimes of the Great Commander Fallen.”

Deceiving the Supreme, harming comrades, oppressing subordinates, and so on!

And indeed, the Great Commander Fallen wasn’t any good, most of these ”crimes” were true.

However, in the Demonic Clan’s culture where ”might is right,” these so-called ”crimes” actually don’t matter, and few demons cared. In fact, many of these ”crimes,” were committed by demons present here more or less.

After all, not much loyalty existed towards the Great Commander Fallen among Demon Lords, and naturally, little ”comradeship” among colleagues, mutual strife, scheming, and opportunism are common occurrences, hardly counted as anything.

This time, the list of ”Eighteen Crimes” was brought out merely as emotional justification for their betrayal of the Great Commander Fallen.

”Dragon Blood, so it was you who orchestrated all this!” Great Commander Fallen glared angrily at Dragon Blood Demon Lord, ”This Great Commander kindly took you in like a stray dog, not only did you refuse gratitude, but you actually betrayed me, secretly colluding with the human race! Had I known earlier, I...”

Dragon Blood Demon Lord interrupted him with a calm tone: ”Fallen, it’s just the fate of kings. Rest assured, your Fallen Demon Realm, in my Dragon Blood’s hands, will undoubtedly flourish in the future.”

At this point, his gaze scanned, deep eyes falling upon Demon Lord Yanqiong and Demon Lord Xietong beside him: ”Yanqiong, Xietong, with Fallen having humiliated you, do you not wish for revenge now? If you are my brothers, make Fallen taste your blade!”

Demon Lords Yanqiong and Xietong hesitated.

No need to say, this was undoubtedly a pledge of allegiance.

Since betrayal had begun, there was only one dark path ahead to follow. They had no other choice now.

With a brief stiffness, the two demons resolved and stepped forward together, each chopping off one of Fallen’s arms.

The other Demon Lords also advanced, one slash after another, leaving Fallen to wail in pain.

This physical mutilation didn’t mean much to high-ranking demons, as long as Demonic Qi was abundant, recovery was possible, but the psychological humiliation was profoundly degrading.

”Dragon Blood Lord.” Demon Lord Yanqiong fawned over Yun Xiayang, ”Since Fallen has already been executed, you might as well quickly absorb his Demonic Soul and Crystal Core, so you can rapidly break through to the Great Commander level and truly lead the Dragon Blood Demon Domain.”

”Indeed, please, Dragon Blood Lord, absorb quickly and guide us towards glory.”

”Please do not hesitate, Dragon Blood Lord.”

Under the persistent ”hospitality” of persuasion, finally, the Dragon Blood Demon Lord Yun Xiayang, ”reluctantly,” invited the Blissful Master to execute the Great Commander Fallen, captured his Demonic Soul, extracted his demon Crystal Core, and then, without hesitation, swallowed them whole!

How pitiful for the Great Commander Fallen, in the end, not even a trace of his spirit remnant was left.

”Boom!”

As the Crystal Core and Demonic Soul entered his body, a turbulent, powerful energy exploded within Dragon Blood Demon Lord, engulfing him like a raging tide.

This was the source energy of the Demonic Clan, not only containing a pure Power of Laws, insights into the Law, Divine Soul strength, but also corresponding genetic information of profoundity.

”Roar!”

Dragon Blood Demon God’s body quaked, uncontrollably roaring hoarsely.

At the same time, his form underwent dramatic change, the Dragon scales on his body became heavier and denser, his defensive power clearly grew stronger, each bone spike turned more sinister, and even his pair of Dragon wings began secondary development.

Of course, this was but a beginning, since Yun Xiayang still had quite a long way to go to truly become a Great Commander-level.

But the subordinates’ festivities had already begun. They called upon the might of the Dragon Blood Lord, causing Xueyi Demonic Palace to tremble.

Wang Shouzhe watched all this quietly from the darkness, feeling slightly moved.

At last, Fallen was successfully dealt with, not in vain for all his planning and layout.

No choice, Great Commander-level demons were incredibly tough, and a slight oversight that lets their Demonic Soul escape, sooner or later would return like Apocalypse.

Only by obliterating every thread of Demonic Soul could the issue be resolved once and for all.

Such tough work～

He took out a little notebook, noting his achievement.

Life Achievement: [First Kill of a Taoist Master-Level Presence] (Note: Calculated kill).
