Chapter 886 - This ls Just the Beginning
The demon stared at Tian Chenyu with a stunned face after hearing his introduction.
But after a moment of silence, it suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha! You will hunt us down?! Hahaha! This is the funniest joke I have heard all century!"
After laughing for a good moment, it suddenly stopped laughing and proceeded to glare at Tian Chenyu with a threatening gaze.
"Who the fuck do you think you are, human?! I don't know what trick you used to prevent my body from healing, but I doubt it'll last for long! And even if you take away our regeneration temporarily, you still won't be able to kill us!"
"You're right." Tian Chenyu responded after a moment of silence.
"I don't have the means to kill you efficiently for now, but I will eventually find a way. Until then… I will just keep you sealed."
"Keep dreaming! Humans will forever be dominated by demons! You will forever remain as our livestock! It has been that way for thousands of years now! It won't suddenly change because you learned some new tricks!"
"Hahaha!" Tian Chenyu suddenly started laughing.
"What's so funny?!" The demon growled.
"I can't believe I used to be so afraid of demons. If only I had realized this earlier… Realized how truly pathetic demons are…"
"Anyways, before I seal you for good, I have a question for you. Do you know of any one-horned demons? It has a black horn on the right side of its head, and the horn has this weird zigzagging structure."
"If you tell me, I just might spare you."
"Hahaha! Go fuck yourself, you damn livestock!" The demon laughed in response.
"Is that so?" Tian Chenyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I still haven't come up with a good name for this technique yet, but what's the point of overthinking it? Let's just call it… Demon Sealing Strike."
Once he opened his eyes, Tian Chenyu brandished the sword in his grasp at the demon, decapitating the demon's head from its limbless body.
Shortly after the demon's head fell to the ground, its body and head turned into stone, coming fully sealed.
After sealing the demon, Tian Chenyu fell to his knees, and his body began trembling again.
He looked at his hands that were shaking nonstop.
'I did it… I have defeated a demon… I am no longer powerless…'
Tears flowed from his eyes, as he's been waiting for this moment for over 20 years.
However, he wasn't satisfied just yet. In fact, he was far from satisfied.
"This is just the beginning…" Tian Chenyu narrowed his eyes on the sealed demon.
"Now then… There should be two more demons rampaging in this city…"
After taking a deep breath, he stood back up and started making his way towards the exit.
"C-Chenyu!"
His mother suddenly appeared and embraced him.
"Are you okay?! Are you hurt?! What happened to the demon?!" She asked him.
"The demon? I took care of it."
"Y-You took care of it? How is that possible? You're just a mortal. You have never cultivated before… No mortal can possibly fight a demon, much less defeat it!" Tian Aowei appeared and said.
"You don't have to believe me. You can take a look at the demon yourself. It's right over there. Don't worry, it won't be able to harm you. In the meantime, I have two more demons to take care of, so if you don't mind, I'd like to excuse myself."
"W-What?! You plan on fighting the other demons as well?! That's too reckless! I won't let you go!" His mother embraced him even harder, refusing to let him go.
"I'm sorry, mother, but I have to go. This is the only reason I woke up from my coma, after all." Tian Chenyu said as he escaped her grasp.
"Chenyu…"
After Tian Chenyu left, his parents went to look at the sealed demon.
"Heavens… Is this really the same demon that attacked us just now? It… turned into stone…" Tian Aowei stared at the demon that had all of its limbs and head severed with a shocked face.
"D-Did Chenyu really do this…? How in heaven's name did he…?" His mother mumbled in a dazed voice.
"I guess he didn't spend 20 years in solitude for nothing…" Tian Aowei sighed.
After leaving his home, Tian Chenyu followed the demons' stench until he encountered the second demon.
When he arrived, it was chewing on the leg of a child.
The demon glanced at Tian Chenyu when it noticed his presence, and it spoke, "I'll eat you next, so stand there and wait for me. If you dare run, I will make your death more painful—"
However, before it could even finish its sentence, Tian Chenyu kicked the rock beside his feet , sending it flying at the demon and hitting it right in the face.
The demon stopped chewing for a moment before tossing away the half-eaten leg in its grasp and turning to look at Tian Chenyu.
After swallowing, it spoke in a grim voice, "How dare you, livestock… You're fucking dead!"
The demon started running at Tian Chenyu with its mouth wide open and dripping with saliva and blood.
Seeing this, Tian Chenyu took a deep breath before confronting the demon with his sword.
"Hahaha! What do you hope to achieve with that cheap sword?!" The demon laughed as it clawed at Tian Chenyu with its sharp fingers while taking all of his sword strikes head-on with its body.
'W-What's going on? Why is my body feeling stiff?' The demon wondered as it continued to attack Tian Chenyu.
However, by the time the demon realized what was happening to its body, it was already too late.
"What is this?! What did you do to my body?!" The demon roared at Tian Chenyu as it laid before him with most of its body turned into stone.
But instead of answering its question, Tian Chenyu asked, "Do you know any demons with a single zigzagging horn on the right side of its head?"
