Chapter 517: Night Watcher! Liu Li! (Part 2)
The woman held the scissors in both hands and stabbed him.
Liu Li's eye twitched, he opened his mouth, but then said nothing.
"You're not Niu Er, you're here to harm the King, you're an outsider blasphemer..."
The woman gritted her teeth and charged forward.
Liu Li slightly closed his eyes and swung the paper knife in his hand.
A burst of blood erupted from the woman's chest.
"Mother..."
The boy, dazed and confused, had just stood up only to see his own father slash his mother, then his vision went dark and he collapsed again.
Liu Li opened his mouth once more, hearing the endless screams and roars coming from outside, he finally went out with his knife.
It's unclear how much time passed.
By afternoon.
Suddenly outside was filled with noise, the sounds of battle resounding to the skies.
Nearly a hundred soldiers of the Human Clan, wearing helmets and armor, wielding weapons, lined up and charged in.
"Commander Li, something's not right here."
A Martial Artist said seriously, "It must be the Bear Demon here, knowing we're launching a counterattack on the Demon Domain, it devoured the local humans and fled."
"No, there are the corpses of Bear Demons here. Normally, the demon creatures guarding local human slaves should have the power to suppress them here."
Commander Li, with a stern expression, moved forward, seeing a middle-aged man lying among the ruins, tightly clutching a Spirit Talisman.
Many soldiers were on guard.
Commander Li slightly raised his hand, saying, "The Spirit Talisman in his hand, it's the handiwork of our Qifeng Prefecture. He killed the Bear Demons here..."
The Colonel who spoke earlier mused, "Weren't the humans in the Demon Domain all kept as slaves, even chosen to be eaten, they dare not resist, how could they have the ability to kill all the Demon Clan here?"
"..."
Liu Li slowly opened his eyes, seeing many shadows standing in front, he couldn't help but smile.
He coughed up blood, his eyes unfocused.
Commander Li stepped forward to check, seeing that this man's chest had been caved in, clearly not long for this world.
"You're not one of the humans in the Demon Domain, you are..."
Commander Li paused, saying, "A Night Watcher sent in before?"
"Night Watcher... Liu Li..."
The middle-aged man gasped, "I knew... I knew... it must be the counterattack..."
Commander Li's expression darkened.
Past Night Watchers sent into the Demon Domain never returned alive.
They would report everything to Taixuan Divine Mountain before dying.
And they often would rather die than resist.
Because resistance wouldn't change death.
Because resistance would alert the Demon Domain to the presence of Night Watchers and lead to hunts for others.
So, every Night Watcher, before entering the Demon Domain, knew their fate was death, and when facing death, they had no choice to resist.
But today, Liu Li clearly realized the signs of Taixuan Divine Mountain's counterattack, so he dared to strike back.
"Do you have anything to say, Brother Liu?"
Commander Li paused, saying, "The elixir I have can't save you..."
"Pass on a message to the Saint Master for me..."
Liu Li tremblingly raised his hand, holding the Spirit Talisman exhausted of mana and already crumpled, he said haltingly, "I used this Spirit Talisman to kill six Bear Demons, one was a Refining Essence Realm creature..."
"Was this Spirit Talisman given by the Saint Master?"
Commander Li was momentarily stunned.
The people behind him were greatly shocked.
This person had caught the Saint Master's eye.
Liu Li, facing their gazes, seemed to see the shock in their eyes, and suddenly felt a bit of satisfaction, softly saying, "I have a child here... he's still young, he can change, take him with you..."
"Alright!"
On the march, it's not customary to bring a child.
But Commander Li still nodded, saying, "If he stays here, as long as I live, when we triumph, I will take him back to Qifeng Prefecture! If he doesn't stay here, I'll take him as a trusted aide!"
"Thank you..."
Liu Li lay in the ruins, slowly closing his eyes.
At the end of his life, he wasn't sacrificed, nor devoured by demon creatures.
He was the one wielding the sword to slay demon creatures!
Before his death, he saw the day the counterattack on the Demon Domain!
Before his death, he saw the Human Clan elite attacking the Demon Domain!
Before his death, he finally saw people from his homeland!
"It's we who should thank you!"
Commander Li knelt on one knee, solemnly saying, "Farewell to Night Watcher Liu Li!"
"Farewell to Night Watcher Liu Li!"
Over a hundred Martial Artists, all kneeling on one knee, shouted solemnly.
"Bury Brother Liu's body, take his child, and keep moving north, before nightfall, enter Pure Land number ninety-three!"
Commander Li's face was grim.
The young Colonel from earlier couldn't help but asked, "What about the other humans? Do they need to be settled?"
"..."
Commander Li glanced at him, saying, "Humans in the Demon Domain, only their bodies barely remain human in shape! If not for the Saint Master's prohibition, we would have killed them all..."
"Now, let them go, once the Demon Domain is pacified, these humans will find their place."
"Those who can change their ideas will be arranged differently."
"Those who cannot change, will roam as refugees in various Pure Lands, waiting for their offspring to be born, then guide their offspring back to the Human Clan."
"We enter the Demon Domain for only one purpose, to slay demons and eliminate evil!"
Having said this, Commander Li turned his head, looking at Liu Li's body, saying, "For hundreds of years, countless Night Watchers perished in the Demon Domain! For hundreds of years, Taixuan Divine Mountain lost countless comrades in battle! Today, the Saint Master leads, giving our generation a chance for revenge..."
"The beings in the Demon Domain, there are only two kinds, those to be killed, and those not to be killed!"
"There's no need for us to settle anyone!"
With these words.
The young Colonel softly asked, "This Night Watcher's son?"
Commander Li remained calm, saying, "Ask if he wants to come with us, if not, he stays! If he wants to, give him a knife, let him fight with us! If he dies in battle, his name will be added to the records, if he survives, he'll be taken back to Phoenix Mansion City, fulfilling Brother Liu's last wish..."
——
The events in this ruined village were not an isolated case.
As Taixuan Divine Mountain and the Human Clan launched a full counterattack, evil creatures everywhere fled in panic.
The rules set by the Evil Demon King dissolved at this moment.
Slaughter and devouring occurred throughout the Demon Domain.
"According to the terrain map, capture all Pure Lands, be mindful of the cities and villages with humans..."
"If the human slaves inside don't attack us, don't massacre them!"
"Today, we attack the Demon Domain only to slay demons and eliminate evil!"
"Be careful to identify Night Watchers in every location, do not mistakenly kill them."
——
The soldiers of the Human Clan, like tidal waves, spread from the south of the Demon Domain.
Countless demon creatures were slain along the way.
And more humans perished on this land.
The Human Clan army, organized in units of a hundred, led by Refining Essence Realm, like a series of sharp blades, pierced various places.
At the frontline, numerous Martial Artists in the Refining God Realm, arranged the placement of the Demon Kings' corpses for the rear guard army as Pure Lands!
Even further ahead, there was the Human Clan's Creation God, battling various Demon Kings.
As for the vanguard, it was Lin Yan, the Saint Master, and Li Chengdao, the ancestor of the Upper Heaven.
"Ahead lies the Beishan Holy Land!"
The Heavenly Praise Banner Master shouted, "Head Saint, be cautious..."
"Don't worry!"
Lin Yan said in a deep voice, "He doesn't dare come out!"
Thus, Lin Yan first crossed over Beishan Holy Land.
Further ahead was the territory of the Taiyin Thunder Envoy!
This Evil Spirit, born from storms and thunders, possesses divine might, akin to a Divine Spirit, and is very close to the Water Element Thunder Venerable.
It's said that the Taiyin Thunder Envoy has already ascended in tier, becoming extremely powerful.
