Chapter 259: Instant Kill Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once Mt. Spirit Beast College sent out the announcement, the statement made by the Demon Empress was quickly disseminated to the entire continent, causing an uproar. The Azure Dragon Empire and the various kingdoms released their decrees as well, strongly denouncing the individual who kidnapped the Demon Empress’ daughter as the public enemy of mankind and appealing for everyone to search for the Demon Empress’ daughter.

This time, the various kingdoms obviously didn’t dare to observe the situation as they put out posters to search for the little fox. The generation’s Demon Empress’ daughter was actually kidnapped—no wonder she was so furious. All the kingdoms could only pray to quickly find the little fox and deliver her to the Demon Empress to suppress the war.

It was just that…

The little fox was only the size of a kitten that could be contained in a simple sack. If someone had the intention to conceal it, would anyone be able to find it?

It had been half a day since the announcement; there actually wasn’t even single feedback of information. It was obvious that the one who kidnapped the little fox had done it intentionally. It was apparent that he wanted the demonic beast army to put people into misery and suffering, or perhaps he had premeditated this with the intention to conquer the continent.

The demonic beast army continued to advance and swiftly leveled over a dozen cities as they marched rapidly towards Summer Wind City.

Su Diguo commanded a third of the Great Xia Kingdom’s army and also a huge portion of experts—including that Vajra Realm martial expert, Su Pingping—which were all assembled at the Summer Wind City.

This was the first major city located in the north of the Great Xia Kingdom and further south of here was the royal capital Summer Rain City. If Summer Wind City fell, and the demonic beasts continued to march south, the Great Xia Kingdom wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of destruction.

The demonic beast army arrived at the Summer Wind City, two hours later. The Demon Empress was flying high up in the sky and could see Su Pingping floating above the city. Without any hesitation, she waved her hand, indicating for the demonic beast army to rush at Summer Wind City while she gradually flew towards Su Pingping.

“Kill!”

Su Pingping’s aura burst out like a rainbow as a giant ax appeared in his hands while he flew towards the demonic beast army. Since there was no room for negotiation, there was no meaning in saying anything, which was left to a battle to the death.

“Kill!”

The firm and thick city walls had no way to defend against the impact of the demonic beasts. Su Diguo’s halberd swung forward as he led the vanguards that rushed at the front. Countless Soul Travel Realm experts flew out from above the city walls while countless soldiers flocked out once the city gates were opened like a giant arrow released towards the demonic beast army.

“Howl-Howl! Wu-Wu! Ku-Ku!”

Millions of demonic beast roared in unison with a shockingly loud voice that penetrated through the nine heavens. The vicious auras from the demonic beasts enveloped the entire Summer Wind City, which caused many commoners to fall after being frightened stiff.

“He-He!”

Su Pingping didn’t rush at the Demon Empress but brandished the giant ax and shot out a few essence force attacks instead. His essence force attack was abnormally terrifying, and each one was several meters long, like giant battle sabers which ripped the space apart, turning into afterimages that blasted at the demonic beast groups.

Amongst the demonic beasts, a giant ape which was over tens of meters in height suddenly radiated with a black light. One of the giant hands, suffused with chilling light, actually fearlessly crashed with the essence force attack. It caused a shocking explosion, sending the giant ape to fly. Apart from the indistinct bloodstains on the arm, the body actually suffered no injuries which proved how astonishing its defenses were.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

Several essence force attacks passed through the Demon Kings at the front and shot at the demonic beast army at the back. Su Pingping’s strength was too overwhelming as a straight line of tier-three demonic beasts was actually eliminated by his essence force attack.

“Attack!”

Great General Lord Su Diguo—who was in mid-air—roared out as his halberd lit up, releasing an aura that put fear in people’s heart. Shortly after, a crescent-shaped blade light was shot out from his halberd.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

At the back, about a thousand Soul Travel Realm experts all released their essence attacks, which filled the air with colorful essence force attack in an instant, causing the air to shudder like it was going to be ripped apart.

“Die!”

Su Pingping’s body lit up with blue light protection as he rushed at the ape-type Demon King, cleaving with his giant ax vigorously. The ax continuously grew larger in mid-air—which ultimately grew to the length of over tens of meters—slicing through the air like a grim reaper’s scythe.

“Hmph!”

Right at this moment, the Demon Empress let out a cold snort all of a sudden as she extended her jade hands and pointed lightly. Just like before, a formless ripple undulated, immediately freezing the entire area with a restriction. Su Diguo and countless Soul Travel Realm experts remained motionless as they were shooting their essence force attacks while about a thousand essence force attacks were frozen in mid-air, and the demonic beast army below was immobilized, too.

Only Su Pingping was able to move after being frozen for a moment. His long white hair was fluttering without any wind while his aged face was filled with fright. His ax wasn’t cleaving downwards anymore, it turned to cleave mid-air instead.

That beautiful finger flashed in mid-air. In the next second, it teleported through the air and appeared in front of the ax, lightly pointing on the weapon.

“Bang!”

Something made Su Pingping fell into despair while the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were incomparably shocked. That ax, which was obviously a saint artifact, actually shattered into pieces! That finger was like a god’s finger from the nine heavens, crushing the ax like it was some rotten wood. The finger then gently pointed on Su Pingping’s external protection.

“Bang!”

Su Pingping’s protection was instantly burst apart while that jade hand drew across the sky and pointed on Su Pingping’s head. His body shuddered, and then… his entire body exploded, turning into a blood rain that scattered all over.

Instant kill!

This was Su Pingping, the Great Xia Kingdom’s strongest Consecrator, no.1 martial expert, and the guardian deity that had protected the Great Xia Kingdom for two hundred years. He was actually instantly killed by the Demon Empress in one move!

“Ah, Ah, Ah!”

Su Diguo and the rest of the people began to scream and yell. Su Pingping was dead, and the restriction had vanished, giving back their mobility. They knew that no one was going to survive today, and the Great Xia Kingdom was done for!

Despite so, everyone still fearlessly rushed at the demonic beast army. Even if they were going to die, they were going to kill as many demonic beasts as they could and die a glorious death.

The Demon Empress was standing still in mid-air while her pink dress tightly wrapped around her perfect figure. She had absolute beauty, but in everyone’s eyes, she was even more terrifying than the Emperor of the Netherworld.

She didn’t make any more moves and just lightly waved her hand while the demonic beast army rushed to drown out the Great Xia Kingdom army like a flood that was made of steel. There were 18 Demon Kings, and without any Vajra Ream martial expert, none of the human armies… could even withstand a single blow!

The battle wasn’t fought fiercely for a long time. In just two hours, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom were left dead outside the Summer Wind City. The city was then razed to the ground while the hundreds of thousands of residents within were all ripped into pieces without a single survivor! The 20,000 Divine Martial Camp soldiers were also buried together.

It was the demon race against the martial experts. The Demon Empress made use of Su Pingping, Su Diguo, and hundreds of thousands of Great Xia Kingdom soldiers and citizens to declare her wrath!

Once the news traveled out, King Su Diwang immediately fainted while there were plenty of white silk and blue cloths hanged within the city 1. Many army deserters began to appear in the city, and many of the major and minor clans started to evacuate themselves, too—so did the citizens as well, leaving the city in dead silence.

When Su Ruoxue just arrived at Summer Rain City, there were many citizens rushing at the royal military guards at the city gates. They were all trying to escape from Summer Rain City, causing the royal military to be at a complete loss.

She immediately announced a decree on behalf of Su Diwang: everyone in the Summer Rain City and all the military was to evacuate immediately, and the Great Xia Kingdom would not rebuke against them. Of course, if anyone could stay behind and perish along with Summer Rain City, she would not force them. At least, she, Su Ruoxue was definitely not going to leave!
