The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Volume 12 Chapter 68 : Counterattack Battle (2)

"Yah!!!" On that night, the sounds of battle echoed through Delza. The once peaceful city was now running with rivers of blood and filling with corpses on the ground.

"Hunter! I've avenged you!" A spirit had previously watched his friend being pierced by a demon soldiers sharp weapon and died. With the help of other spirits, they managed to succeed in killing the demon soldier in front of them. They all felt an unfamiliar feeling, like a power hidden deep in their souls.

"Come one, everyone! Lets drive the invaders out of our homeland!" Due to death, due to the need to fight to stay alive, the spirits stirred a primal instinct within themselves. Witnessing the death and injuries of their comrades, they all attacked the much stronger demon soldiers like madmen. They could not defeat the demons with only one spirit, but with two, three spirits The spirits used their numbers to suppress those monsters. They were not like demonic insects, because those insects lacked the ability to think. As long as the spirits were careful, they could still be excellent at avoiding the lethal attacks of the demon soldiers.

Coupled with the magic support released by the spirits behind them, the demon soldiers began to show signs of retreat.

"Useless. If these spirits are garbage, then you all are wastes!" The bull-headed demon of the clan roared upon seeing that the demon soldiers were repelled.

"Squeak" Accompanied by the screech of the huge demonic insect, ice blossomed around its broken leg. It was barely able to maintain balance after losing two legs.

Looking at the human who severed its leg, its blood-red eyes glowed with ferocious light.

He performed three strikes using the Hundred Slashes technique. Two strikes hit the legs of the huge demonic insect, while one strike hit its carapace. Originally, Lin Xiang planned to chop off its three legs, but unfortunately, his skills were still lacking.

However, Lin Xiang was already satisfied with the results. At least for now, the huge demonic insect could not collide and cause damage to the spirits.

Just when Lin Xiang thought so

"Bang!" The huge demonic insect slammed its two pincer-like claws into the ground, sending debris flying. Lin Xiang felt the ground below his feet slightly trembling, and a sense of impending danger came surging in his heart.

"Master, underground!" Dusty shouted. Lin Xiang immediately leaped towards the city wall, inserted his cold sword into the wall as he hung on it.

At the same time, black thorns erupted from the ground, covering the spot where Lin Xiang stood earlier. The surrounding demon soldiers and spirits who were not in time to escape were all pierced by the black thorns. One thorn, which was the tallest of them all, was only a few centimeters away from Lin Xiang's feet.

"Huff Huff" Dusty panted as sweat trickled down from her forehead. If she had not strengthened the ground, the thorns would undoubtedly have reached even higher.

She gazed at the dead spirits. With a penetrating stare at the huge demonic insect, she had an intensity in her eyes that had never been seen before.

She felt that her powerlessness was the reason she could not save those spirits.

"Boom!" A dark red blaze erupted from the direction of the city gate, instantly engulfing the demon soldiers and spirits in front of it.

The flames came in a straight line towards Lin Xiang and the others. The spirits, who had yet to be reached quickly retreated, but were still swept in by the wave of five.

"Master, this way." Dusty made several blocks of soil in the air to let Lin Xiang escape from the scene.

Lin Xiang stepped on the soil blocks, quickly jumped and landed onto the flat ground. The huge demonic insect was also engulfed in flames that swept over.

Silent Water, along with the water spirits, created a massive water wall, yet it burst like a bubble.

Fire Lotus walked to spirits front. Vibrant red flames were engulfing her body, which had a stark contrast to the dark red flames. One symbolized light, while the other symbolized darkness.

The brilliant red flames formed a wave, colliding with the dark red flames.

"Boom!" The two opposing flames continued to overflow at the point of their collision, consuming each other as they were attached to the surrounding walls.

In the end, the dark fire was still too powerful strong, submerging and absorbing the brilliant red flames, growing even more ferocious.

Fire Lotus looked utterly astonished. She had confidence in her own flames, because fire could be said to be a part of her body. She was so confident that her flames could devour the opposing flames. However, reality struck when those dark red flames had already reached her.

"Fire Lotus!" Lin Xiang came beside Fire Lotus, who was in a daze, and nudged her aside. At the same time, he whispered to the cold sword. "Hey, if you can hear me, go ahead and extinguish the flames you detest the most!"

The cold sword emitted a deep blue light. Lin Xiang was not exactly sure what to do next, but he instinctively raised the cold sword, and swung it forcefully toward the roaring dark flames.

Soon, the dark fire mercilessly overwhelmed and covered Lin Xiang.

Fire Lotus was pushed aside, and the dark flames passed by her. She could feel the scorching heat emanating from the fire, not to mention that there was also a slight chill. They were obviously flames, yet it carried an icy feeling. Was that the power of the demon clan?

"Thats not right!" Fire Lotus abruptly widened her eyes. As the dark flame was about to devour the retreating spirits, a translucent blue substance was emerging from within it.

It was ice!

In the blink of an eye, the entire dark fire was turned into ice.

Ice actually froze the flames!

The blue-tinted, slightly transparent ice, the dark flames That was the scene that made the spirits forget the fear the flames brought to them before. They all stared dumbfounded, gazing at the spectacle in front of them.

"Crack." Cracks began forming on the ice. After that, the dark flames fragmented into smaller and smaller ice pieces, falling to the ground.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Huh?"

"I'm not dead! This is great! We're not dead!"

"What happened? My soul felt like it was burning earlier. Although I felt very cold afterwards, it was an incredibly refreshing feeling!"

The spirits who were burned earlier were as if they had crawled back from hell. Their faces expressed a mixture of fear and the happiness of keeping the rest of their lives.

Those demon soldiers, however, were less fortunate as they turned into fragments. The huge demonic insect had been relatively unscathed by the ice and dark flames. After the ice shattered, it shook off the shards of ice on its body and fixed a ferocious gaze on Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang panted lightly. The cold sword had consumed some of his dragon energy just now, but it was worth it to be able to successfully block the dark fire and save the spirits.

"Thank you, buddy." Lin Xiang smiled at the cold sword.

The cold sword emitted a bright blue light, which was considered a response.

Seeing that Lin Xiang was unharmed, Fire Lotus turned her head abruptly, "Mind your own business! I can handle this myself. What should you do if your violent pushing hurt Fire Dances body?"

"Sorry about that." Lin Xiang lowered his head apologetically to Fire Lotus.

"What a turn of events." The bull-headed demon clan member glanced at Lin Xiang and narrowed his eyes, "Indeed, its a spiritual weapon, an ancient spiritual weapon thats pursued by humans and other species as well. The craft of the furnace angel, the painstaking masterpiece of Harris. To think that it has appeared in this world and wielded by a little kid like you really astonished me."
