Chapter 73
It was midnight when Han Chen walked out of the stronghold cave.
He originally thought that the demon tribe's stronghold was not as lively at night as during the day, but when he took a quick look, he saw countless tents in the stronghold with bright lights, demons flowing between the tents like a tide, and people buzzing.
There are even many human monks who are blatantly mixing in and bargaining with demon traders.
"Because the stronghold here is almost next to the ancient battlefield, many treasure hunters will use the stronghold as a resting place. Over time, the number of people increased, and eventually it developed into a night market with tens of thousands of people."
While Han Chen was puzzled, a gentle and sweet voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
He turned around and glanced, only to see a petite and cute figure hanging next to him.
The girl looks only 1.56 meters tall, with a green and hazy body, an oval face, delicate facial features, two slender tentacles on the top of her head, and a pair of large colorful wings on her back.
"Queen Wasp specially ordered Xiaodie to take the king around the stronghold after he leaves the stronghold cave."
At a glance, Han Chen saw that Xiaodie suddenly felt the terrifying aura of a great demon in the Condensation Realm.
She quickly lowered her head and behaved obediently and respectfully.
"Then let's go around." Han Chen said solemnly.
"Yes."
Xiaodie waved her wings lightly and led Han Chen to wander around the stronghold.
"Why are there so many human monks in the night market?" Han Chen asked.
"Most of these human monks are rebels from the Northern Alliance. They are only interested in profit, so they don't care about doing business with the demon clan. They live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife."
"Aren't you afraid of human spies?" Han Chen's eyes darkened.
Xiaodie smiled and said: "Qinglong Mountain and Beimeng have known each other's strongholds for a long time, and there is nothing to explore."
Han Chen nodded slightly.
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the night market not far away.
"You cunning human race, how dare you pass off inferior products as good ones, I will kill you!"
"What's a shoddy thing? It's obvious that you exchanged it for a bad thing to blackmail someone and cheat on me? Am I afraid of you?"
The buyer and seller got into a fight as soon as they disagreed.
The demon clan and the human race are life-and-death enemies. As soon as they take action here, many demon clans will be ready to take action.
“I’ve long been disgusted by these humans and monkeys!”
"How dare you make trouble on our territory, kill them!"
Although the human race rebels usually fight on their own, when things involving group interests like this are touched upon, they spontaneously form a rope and move closer to this side.
Seeing that chaos was coming, a low roar like rolling thunder exploded.
"Stop it!"
Many monsters and human rebels felt the aura of the great elixir-condensing demon sweeping over them, and they instantly calmed down.
Someone looked up furtively.
I saw a giant Ningdan demon with golden hair like satin all over its body, two wings on its back, and a ferocious outer spine like jagged teeth, striding forward.
Boom, boom, boom!
Every step he took was like a mighty force, and the ground was shaking.
When the buyer and seller who were arguing saw the great demon of the Ningdan Realm approaching, they both hurriedly stopped and did not dare to act recklessly.
"What's going on?" Han Chen's eyes were as bright as fire, full of awe.
The buyer’s demon clan angrily pointed at the seller’s human monk:
"Your Majesty, I just bought a bone blade from him. When I bought it, the bone blade was sharp and the bones were as smooth as jade. The quality was quite good. However, less than half a cup of tea away, the bone blade became deformed.
Became dry bones."
The human monks were equally angry:
"That's nonsense. I, Liu Laosan, have been selling weapons for so many years, and no one has ever said that I sell fakes!"
The demon clan and human monks watching around also started talking about it.
Those who know Liu Laosan will do their best to protect him.
Those who don’t understand are scolding the human race for being cunning.
For a moment, the public said that the public was right and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, and the scene became chaotic again.
"Where is the bone blade?" Han Chen asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty."
The buyer demon clan presented the bone blade to Han Chen.
Han Chen took the bone blade and inspected it carefully.
It's quite heavy to get, and it should be made from the bones of the eighth-level and ninth-level demon.
But the bone is yellow in color, with several cracks on the surface, and the essence has been lost.
Logically speaking, if the essence has long been dispersed, the bone blade will not have such weight, unless all the essence in the bone blade has been exhausted in a very short period of time.
Something fishy!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Han Chen saw a small hole on the handle of the bone blade.
He picked up the bone blade and stared at the hole with wide eyes.
……
At the same time, in the wilderness ten miles north of the stronghold.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, a thin and old figure suddenly put his hands together and spit out a cold word.
"Death!!"
Phew!
A wisp of sword energy that was so sharp that it made people's scalp numb suddenly spurted out from the hole in the bone blade handle.
The attack was too sudden and too close. Han Chen had no time to react, and the sword energy penetrated into his eyes.
Bang!
Eyeballs exploded and blood splattered.
The bone blade in Han Chen's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and then his strong and burly figure also fell to the ground.
The assassination was completed before the demon clan and human monks who were watching could even react.
"Dead, the great demon of the Condensing Core Realm is dead!!"
"Ah——"
Suddenly, the night market exploded.
The old figure who was ten miles away to the north of the stronghold clapped his hands calmly, and then walked away gracefully with a flying sword.
At the same time, the Wasp Queen, who was drinking in the male prostitute's tent, noticed something was wrong.
She suddenly rushed out of the tent and flew high into the sky. She immediately looked down at the entire stronghold with cold eyes and sounded like a long bell:
"All demons and humans stay where they are. If you dare to leave privately, you will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several human rebels sneaked towards the outside of the stronghold and plundered wildly.
"Seeking death!"
The Queen Wasp's face turned cold, and she casually flicked out a bee sting that was as thin as a hair, with a cold light, and was more than one meter long.
The bee sting was as fast as light, like the human sword cultivator's flying sword, and in the blink of an eye it pierced several human race rebel cultivators into meat skewers.
But what is even more terrifying is that the few human rebels did not die directly, but their whole bodies were swollen and the pain was excruciating. In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they committed suicide one after another.
With such tragic lessons learned, no one dared to disobey orders and stayed where they were.
After stabilizing the situation, the Wasp Queen immediately fell next to Han Chen.
It’s just that at this moment, Han Chen is already as angry as a thread, and for some reason, his flesh and blood have completely shriveled up, and there is no way to save him.
Also, the sword energy penetrated from the left eye, so Niu Xiaodi's head didn't explode, which is considered decent.
But, how to explain it to the boss now?
She just drank two glasses of flower wine, and Niu Xiaodi became cold?
"What's going on?"
The Wasp Queen interrogated the monsters present and picked up the bone blade that fell to the ground. She quickly noticed the hole in the handle of the bone blade.
Phew!
But at this moment, another ray of sword energy shot out from the hole.
Fortunately, the Wasp Queen was prepared and managed to avoid it in a dangerous way.
"Black kill!"
Seeing this kind of assassination method, the Wasp Queen couldn't help but clenched her silver teeth, her eyes full of fear.
But at this moment, an extremely weak voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Who is Black Killer?"
The Wasp Queen turned her head in astonishment, only to see that the emaciated Cowboy, who looked like a mummy, was actually alive.
"You...you're not dead?"
Han Chen looked exhausted:
Chapter completed!
