Chapter 64: Mission Complete
The spiral wind spear pierced through the true body of the Thousand-eyed Demon.
In an instant, the sky filled with a thousand gray eyes shattered completely, transforming into dense demonic energy that scattered everywhere.
The true body of the demon was almost directly pinned to the ground by this strike, the blinding white wind blades slicing everything in a radius of dozens of meters.
But the Thousand-eyed Demon was not killed with a single blow.
Its first divine ability was the Illusion Space.
The second divine ability was the Light Beam.
The third divine ability was the Eye of Death.
And the fourth divine ability was called "Eternal Lifeforce."
In short, it could not die.
As a very rare demon with a fragile body, having the ability to be immortal was quite reasonable.
So at this moment, a second strike was needed.
The explosive wind subsided.
The wrecked body of the Thousand-eyed Demon quickly began to heal, slowly reassembling from being nearly reduced to rubble.
In a short time, it restored its original appearance—a gray giant eye with a mouth formed in its pupil: “Hahahahahahaha!”
The Thousand-eyed Demon laughed maniacally, releasing a terrifying surge of demonic energy.
It no longer needed to support a thousand eyes; the shared power naturally returned, and at this moment, its defensive power rose to its peak.
The reason Chao Zichong didn’t have confidence in claiming the kill was that even upon noticing the true body of the Thousand-eyed Demon, its power was too overwhelming, not something that could be easily slain. He needed to be close enough to use his secret techniques!
“Die!”
The roaring water dragon turned around, ready to engulf the Thousand-eyed Demon.
But how could it compare to Yun Wen, who had rushed straight to the target from the very beginning?
Yun Wen transformed into a flash of golden light, darting past.
The knife in his hand seemed to almost vaporize.
It wasn’t a physical vaporization.
Instead, it was empowered to the limit by spirit energy, causing a qualitative change in the magical artifact, and in that moment, the artifact’s power surged at a terrifying speed.
“Essence of Spiritual Law—”
“Ten Thousand Cuts!”
Yun Wen indeed had strength; in Yun Ye’s eyes, his figure had transformed into a blinding sun.
With a single strike, even with the Thousand-eyed Demon restored to its peak state and its defensive power multiplied, it was instantly cut in half.
After that fleeting moment, a complex and mysterious golden formation emerged, immobilizing the Thousand-eyed Demon, which should have rapidly regenerated its body, followed by the sudden appearance of hundreds of golden lights.
“Crack!”
Yun Wen sheathed his knife.
Just then, before the water dragon roared down, the entire body of the Thousand-eyed Demon shattered into tiny gray dust.
“Buzz!”
Yun Ye’s identity token vibrated, revealing some writing.
“Mission complete!”
“Team Two Rating: A (80%).”
“Yang Shi Rating: B (2%).”
On the other side, Chao Zichong’s identity token also vibrated.
“Team Five Rating: C (20%).”
“Chao Zichong Rating: B (15%).”
The rating percentages represented the final rewards.
For this mission, he would only receive 15% of the earnings, which was probably half of what Yun Wen and the others would get.
The most critical point was that they had previously defeated a significant number of demons and had already gained considerable rewards.
Meanwhile, Team Five had very little.
Chao Zichong glanced at the smiling Yun Wen, turned away coldly, and said nothing.
This behavior made Yun Wen frown even more than if he had threatened him.
“It seems I should be cautious in the future, or I might fall under his spell,” Yun Wen remarked.
“…” Liu Wujing shot Yun Wen a glance and landed back on the ground.
The two walked back to the dock fortress.
The battle had lasted too long; the remaining people were basically in a “seriously injured” state.
They couldn’t use Spiritual Roots revival, which meant they were almost in a disabled state, but it was only temporary.
In Team Two, only one person died, and that was Wang Lixian.
The others were older, much weaker than Wang Lixian, and they had worked together, allowing them to endure far longer than Zhu Zhaohong’s team.
“Captain, Vice-Captain, besides Wang Lixian, everyone else is fine,” Xiang Liangren reported, casually brushing off his act of not saving lives.
Xie Rongfu, standing behind Zhu Zhaohong and panting heavily, heard this and smiled slightly, though his expression was unreadable.
Zhu Zhaohong shot a cold glance at Xiang Liangren, likely remembering him.
Yun Wen didn’t mind that one person had died; he patted Yun Ye with the sheathed knife and said, “You’re fine, after all. It seems the Azure Flame has really benefited you.”
He probably regretted that Yun Ye hadn’t died, as he could then take the Spirit Gathering Ring.
“Xiang Liangren, did you notice anything unusual earlier?” Liu Wujing suddenly asked.
Xiang Liangren was taken aback, pondering the meaning carefully but still shook his head. “I didn’t notice anything unusual. What’s the matter?”
“Oh, never mind. You all can take care of cleaning up the battlefield yourself,” Liu Wujing tossed out this remark and left.
“Not noticing anything unusual? It seems the people over by Chao Zichong have their own conflicts,” Yun Wen chuckled. He didn’t actually care about the sudden appearance of the marks.
Hiding the truth is just a sneaky way of speaking.
If one had real strength, they wouldn’t need to hide!
…
With the death of the Thousand-eyed Demon, the only task left was to clean the battlefield.
It’s worth mentioning that the Eye of Death didn’t just target humans.
Those demons also died instantly upon contact, their souls vanishing while their bodies remained intact.
These bodies were all high-quality materials that must be utilized.
Their next task was to escort the laborers from Baishi Town as they transported everything away.
And this transportation would take a full ten days.
Yun Wen only stayed for half a day before leaving; the two Ji family members did the same.
In the end, only seven people remained: Xiang Liangren, Zhuo Zhongjie, He Guan, Liu Jingyu, Zhu Zhaohong, Xie Rongfu, and Yun Ye.
Adding the five members from Team Five, they totaled twelve people.
These twelve were divided into three groups, each taking turns to guard for a day.
However, Yun Ye and Xie Rongfu were not included in the rotations.
Yun Ye replaced Xiang Liangren, and Xie Rongfu replaced Zhu Zhaohong.
The two mostly stayed near Duanqiao River, keeping guard with little chance to rest.
Due to this situation, Xie Rongfu was always in a bad mood but dared not show it.
Yun Ye noticed this because a few laborers passed by with their carts, keeping their heads down and failing to address Xie Rongfu as “Lord.” As a result, Xie Rongfu punished them viciously, claiming they had no manners.
He found this out later.
Xie Rongfu asked him with much interest if the flowers that bloomed from drinking human blood were beautiful, essentially being very…
extreme.
To be honest, Yun Ye had already adjusted his mood quite well, but that one comment ruined it again.
He looked at the beautiful blood flowers, studying them carefully throughout the night, feeling that these flowers rooted in the corpses were quite similar to him.
In his first life, had such conspicuous flowers also bloomed on his body?
He didn’t know.
Because in this second life, he hadn’t even set foot in Xiaoye Village.
Yun Ye silently returned to his research.
There were many leftover demon bones and remnants from Baishi Town that held little significance for Baishi Town but were valuable for him as he examined them under the microscope.
He initially felt quite miserable upon hearing that all the materials belonged to Baishi Town, and their rewards were only Contribution Points and dark copper gained from killing enemies.
Though he wanted to question why, strength was the “reason,” and Yun Ye could only urge himself not to get angry; there would be plenty of chances to settle accounts later…
At least there was trash to pick up, and Yun Ye gradually calmed his mood.
But it wasn’t long before he grew angry again.
“Weapon forging is much harder than Superior Food.”
“Spiritual reactions are dynamic; they require real-time control. A small mistake can lead to vastly different outcomes.”
“It requires a calm mind to grasp every change.”
“Stay calm!”
He restarted his weapon forging, shifting his focus.
The moon rose and fell.
On the tenth day, it ended.
