I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Demon Domain, territory of the Black Wind Demon King.

The Black Wind King is a Bear Demon who has attained refinement, occupied three hundred miles of land after surpassing his tier.

Within this land lies a small city and three villages.

The Human Clan within are all servants cultivated by the Black Wind Demon King, providing him incense and serving as his source of Blood Food.

Previously, the neighboring Tiger King attacked the Taixuan Mountain Range but was killed. The Black Wind King intended to annex his territory, but amidst the struggles with other Demon Kings, only managed to gain a dilapidated village, where the humans had already been entirely devoured by the Tiger King's subordinates.

Thus, the Black Wind King selected young and strong humans from his ranks, transported them to this ruined village, and established a rule that his Demon Clan subordinates should not devour the humans here for ten years, allowing the population to grow.

"Niu Er, what's wrong with you? Was it the last sacrifice, did they almost offer you up?"

The woman looked at her husband beside her, showing concern, and whispered, "Waiting for ten years isn't too long. By then, you'll still be young, and might still be able to enter the mouth of the King..."

In recent days, her husband had been lost in thought.

Previously at Black Wind Manor, he was selected as a sacrificial offering, to be dedicated to the Black Wind King, achieving glory for the family.

Who would have known that luck was bad, that night for some reason, an external Great Demon White Ape invaded, causing chaos for the Bear Clan Envoy stationed at Black Wind Manor, leading to the sacrifice being ruined.

Later, villagers were recruited from various places to rebuild their homes in this dilapidated village.

No need for sacrifices for ten years!

Maybe this is why her husband was so depressed.

"You don't need to be like this. Even if in the future you aren't enjoyed by the Black Wind King, being offered to the Bear Clan Divine Envoy under him is still a matter of family honor."

The woman comforted, "Worst case, in the future we have more children, surely one of them will be selected to be enjoyed by the Black Wind King, bringing glory to our family."

"..."

Niu Er's expression was extremely complex, hesitating to speak.

But at this moment, a Bear Demon outside ran frantically towards the village temple.

That temple originally worshiped the statue of the Tiger King, but now it offers homage to the Divine Statue of the Black Wind King.

The Bear Demon rushed inside the temple, fearfully saying, "It's not good..."

"What's happening?"

All the Bear Demons in the temple rose to their feet.

The leading Bear Demon showed an even more terrified expression, quickly hiding a large bloodied leg behind the Divine Statue.

The King had ordered that for ten years, the humans here must not be eaten.

But he couldn't resist his appetite, occasionally consuming one or two.

Had it been discovered today, and the King was bestowing punishment?

"No..."

The small Bear Demon shouted urgently, "The Human Clan is attacking in large numbers, our King has been chopped down by their Saint Master last night..."

"What? The King is dead?"

Many Bear Demons showed terrified expressions.

Previously, when the Tiger King died, his territory was divided and most of his Tiger Demons were consumed, only a few sought protection under other Demon Clans, while some wandered outside.

"Eat!"

The leading Bear Demon, possessing Peak Refining Essence Realm ability, said coldly, "Eat all humans in this village, we'll escape north!"

As the words fell, he had already rushed out to slaughter.

Other Bear Demons exchanged glances, then rushed out of the temple, breaking through doors and walls, invading homes to eat humans.

"Niu Er, what's happening? Why are the Divine Envoys going crazy?"

The woman showed a terrified expression.

As servants cultivated...

They hoped to be sacrificed, offered in grand ceremony, to the Black Wind King.

But they didn't wish to die without meaning.

The fear between life and death was magnified to the extreme at this moment.

The entire village was engulfed in screams, a bloody massacre, numerous Bear Demons voraciously devouring.

Niu Er's expression slightly changed, saying, "Go home, take the child..."

He picked up the woman and hurried towards home.

But he saw a Bear Demon had already invaded the home ahead of him, attacking his child ferociously.

"Demon! Stop!"

Niu Er roared, eyes widened with anger.

"What did you call me?"

The Bear Demon turned slowly, saying coldly, "Do you dare disrespect this Envoy?"

"Niu Er, kneel quickly, how can you be disrespectful to the Divine Envoy?"

The woman hurriedly tugged his sleeve, already kneeling first, bowing, "Divine Envoy Sir, my child is still a pure boy, meant for offering to the King in future, please have mercy, eat the two of us instead!"

"..."

Niu Er's gaze became extremely complex, looking at the woman with a sorrowful expression.

"This Envoy presides over the surrounding village towns, all pure boys and girls were consumed by that dead old Demon, I've always only eaten the old, weak, sick and frail, when have I tasted such tender pure boys?"

The Bear Demon sneered, "This pure boy, I will definitely eat! And you two won't escape either!"

He turned around, picked up the boy, opened his bloodied maw to swallow his head.

Yet as the Bear Demon turned, Niu Er had already reached into his chest and took out something.

Without hesitation, he bit through his tongue, spraying on the talisman paper.

At the moment the Bear Demon was about to bite off the boy's head.

A Spirit Talisman instantly flew past, transforming into a blade light, piercing through the Bear Demon's head in an instant.

The blade light circled back into Niu Er's hand, transforming into a paper knife.

But the knife's edge remained fiercely sharp.

"Niu Er, you... you killed a Divine Envoy..."

The woman's face slightly changed, trembling in voice, "You... you're not Niu Er..."

"I am Night Watcher under the Observatory of Qifeng Prefecture, south of Taixuan Divine Mountain!"

This middle-aged man's voice was low, saying, "My real name is Liu Li!"

He turned around, saying, "Take care of the child, I'm going to slaughter these beasts..."

With a pop!

He groaned slightly.

Turning his head, the sorrow in his eyes deepened.
