Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sword Arrival
nch.That's all.Shen Changqing is still very confident.Back then, during the Five Pillars Cave era, he could still compete with the Gods of the Twelve Palaces from the Five Sects.Now that he possesses...Chaos!
It's completely chaotic!
In the night, a sinister aura that reached for the heavens seemed poised to engulf the capital.
A horde of demons emerged from the shadows, as if they had been waiting for this moment.
First of all.
The demon slayers within the Demon Suppression Department, as well as other powerful individuals in the capital city, were the first to act, going to various places to suppress demons and evil spirits.
The soldiers both inside and outside the capital city!
The Imperial Guard within the Palace!
All parties dispatched sufficient numbers of experts to cooperate in countering the demons.

In the outer city.
The sounds of battle shook the night sky.
Those commoners outside the city, upon hearing the sound, all hid in their own rooms, not daring to show their faces.
"Master, we're fine!"
“With the presence of powerful beings from the Demon Suppression Division, there shouldn't be any problems—”
A middle-aged man, with a heavy face and fear in his eyes.
He just hid it very well and didn't let it slip out easily.

Upon hearing this.
Women let out a breath of relief.
"Loose the arrow!"

"Shoot!"

Groups of soldiers nocked arrows dipped in flaming oil, which were then launched into the fray as soon as they were ignited.
And those besieged and shot weren't anything else, it was a demon possessed by evil.
>
Demons are powerful.
It cannot be dealt with by ordinary means.
But fire attacks are a good way to deal with lower-ranked demons.
>
Whoosh!
The arrows flew through the air, but when they struck the demon, it was like hitting an iron plate. They fell clattering to the ground.
However.
When those arrows touched the demon, the oil also ignited. In an instant, the oil burst into flames, and the demon's body became like a torch, engulfed by the fire directly.
This is a simple text.
"Roar!!"
A roar of rage, a powerful aura of sinister energy erupted from the demonic creature, extinguishing the flames that were burning.
But those masters in the army had already been waiting on the side.
The moment the flames died out, they moved together as one, charging at the demon.
Very soon.
A demonic being of immense resentment and power was slain after a joint effort.
"Cremate the body on site, leaving no trace. The rest of you support other locations!"
After a burly man spoke, he left with his men.
Battles similar to this have broken out in different places.
This night's demonic attack was much larger in scale than last night's.
This is the first time.
>
Only the people of the capital city knew that there were so many demons and monsters lurking here.
Whoosh—
The longsword slashed through the night sky, and when the powerful blade energy struck down, a demonic creature was beheaded. The moment its head fell, it detached from the body it had possessed.
...at the moment he left.
On the left bank of the river, Jiang Zu took a step forward with lightning speed, drawing his long sword and slashing down, forcefully obliterating the demonic creature.
After doing all of this.
His sword point rested on the ground, his chest heaving violently, and there was a hint of blood staining his clothes.
Then, look around.
The corpses of the four-headed demons were already lying there, their bodies dismembered.
To slay the four demon beasts.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiangzuo also paid a considerable price.
>
That means he broke through to the Grandmaster level, his strength has increased significantly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to deal with four peak Wrathful Demons.
Suddenly.
Jiang Zuo's expression changed.
When he turned his head to look outside the city, a surge of sinister and eerie energy had already burst forth.
"Damn it!"
Based on his experience, only a ghost of the Fiend class could possess such a level of sinister aura, and it wasn't an ordinary Fiend-class either.
It was only judged by the sinister aura.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This formidable and eerie power is no weaker than that of the beast in Fengyun Village.
Boom! Boom!
A burst!
Two shares!
The sinister and oppressive aura surged forth, wave after wave, sending chills down one's spine.
>
Jiang Zuo's heart trembled.
His face was now completely covered in horror.
"What do the demon clan want Could it be that they really intend to take advantage of this opportunity to directly attack and conquer the capital!"
> In perception.
The burst of sinister energy was no less than ten or so, meaning that outside the capital city, a dozen or so powerful demonic beasts were charging in.
“Forget it, forget it. This matter is none of my concern. It's best to focus on what I can do right now!”
Jiangzuo completely dispelled the idea of going to support.
What are you kidding me
More than a dozen ferocious demons, even the weakest one was comparable to the demon in Fengyun Village.
Even with his current strength, even if he broke through to the Grandmaster level, it's still a question whether he could handle one of them.
Moreover.
That was still said during its peak.
Considering its current severe depletion, it's safer to deal with the vengeful spirits for now.
Then.
Jiangzuo went down from the city wall and hurried toward an area where battles were taking place within the inner city.
Things outside the city are obviously not something I can get involved in.
That's all he can do.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
That's all it is, just doing my job.
Inside the palace.
Gu Xuanji sensed the demonic power that erupted, a cold gleam appeared in his eyes.
"Over a dozen vicious beasts daring to attack the capital city is sheer delusion, bring them down!"
"Your Majesty, what are your orders!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
A eunuch came in and bowed deeply.
Gu Xuanji said, "Pass down my order, have the National Academy of Studies' people take action and intercept the demons outside the capital city. I want those demons to not even touch the city walls!"
"I obey your command!"
The eunuch bowed and retreated.
After the eunuch left, he called for another person.
"Let me ask Dongfang Zhao, does the Demon Suppression Division need help"
"Yes!"
The Demon Suppression Division.
The current Demon Suppression Division is still peaceful, as if the outside world's struggle had no effect on it at all.
The grand hall of assembly.
Several administrators of the Exorcism Academy, excluding Jiang Zuo, were all here.
"How many demon exorcists can the various Demon Exorcism Departments still produce now"
Dongfang Zhao looked at the several people, faintly asking.
As soon as the words left his mouth.
Wei Lan took the lead and bowed: "Reporting to the Lord Marshal, there are currently two Heavenly Rank Demon Slayers, five Earth Rank Demon Slayers, twenty-one Xuan Rank Demon Slayers, and thirty-three Yellow Rank Demon Slayers available in the Celestial Department of Exorcism!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In the Department of Demon Suppression, there are three Earth-rank Demon Suppressors, eleven Profound-rank Demon Suppressors, and eighteen Yellow-rank Demon Suppressors who can be mobilized.
In the Xuanjie Demonic Elimination Academy, there are two Earth-rank Demon Eliminators, three Xuan-rank Demon Eliminators, and sixteen Huang-rank Demon Eliminators who can be deployed.
Upon hearing this.
The Eastern Emperor nodded. "Two Heaven Rank demon slayers, ten Earth Rank demon slayers, Xuan Rank and Huang Rank demon slayers, all reinforce the capital's interior. Heaven Rank and Earth Rank demon slayers intercept demonic creatures outside the city, and also be on guard for any appearing demons. As soon as a demon appears, intercept it immediately and prevent it from entering the capital!"
“We obey your orders!”
All the managers of the three Demonic-Slaying Institutes bowed to accept the order.
Go!
Upon a gesture from the Eastern Emperor, several people withdrew.
Not long after.
Only he was left inside the main hall.
"Today, for every demon you bring, I will kill that many demons. Let's see if your demonic clan can withstand such heavy losses!"
Oriental Rong's eyes were cold.
If he wasn't guarding the Demon Sealing Tower, he would have gone out long ago and slaughtered all the demons in the city.
However.
Even so, he was not worried.
Even if most of the masters in the Demon Suppression Division were dispatched, relying on the remaining foundation, it could still be impregnable.
"With so many terrifying monsters appearing, it's only a matter of time before demons start showing up too!"
Dongfang Zhao looked at the surging sinister aura in front of him, his face calm and undisturbed.
Just like the demon clan is probing the depth of the Demon Suppression Division, one by one demons emerge, constantly urging the Demon Suppression Division to increase its defenses.
So far.
No demons of the first level have appeared yet.
But he believed that demons would appear soon.
What's coming out now are just cannon fodder from the demon clan, all to exhaust the Demon Suppression Division's strength.
Within the demon clan.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Demons are the true apex beings, while monsters are merely inferior creatures, subservient to the demons' commands.
As the commander in residence, Dongfang Zhao has dealt with many demons and devils. He knows a great deal about them.
Anyway.
As long as he stays within the Demon Suppression Office and does not move, there will be no problems.

Outside the city.
A heavy, sinister atmosphere pervaded the area, an overwhelming wave of cold sweeping through. If ordinary people were here, this chill would freeze their blood solid.
One by one, dark shadows.
Emerging from the capital, it fell before those demons.
>
The capital city, a sacred ground where demons dare not tread!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Elaine's pretty face was grim, her seven-foot long spear held tightly in hand, radiating a chilling aura.
The moment she finished speaking.
It was she who suddenly struck, charging towards one of the demonic beasts.
When Wai Lan made her move, the demon slayers who followed also acted simultaneously. The terrifying power intertwined, and the battle erupted without any unnecessary chatter.
"The Demon Suppression Division is well-hidden. To be able to produce dozens of Grand Masters like this is truly unexpected."
Chen Shufu stroked his beard and smiled, looking down from the city wall. He just happened to see the battle outside the city.
>
There were sixteen demons that appeared, but only twelve masters from the Demon Suppression Office showed up.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even so.
The power displayed by the twelve was enough to completely intercept the sixteen demonic beings, preventing them from advancing even an inch.
Beside Chen Shu, a gray-robed elder calmly stated, "The Demon Suppression Division is far older than the Imperial Academy of Learning. It's normal for it to have deep foundations. The current demonic apparition that has appeared is only an appetizer. Those demons and monsters behind it will surely be unable to contain themselves as well."
"Let us strike together and eliminate those demons, so we can be prepared to face the others!"
"That's fine."
Chen Shu nodded, taking a leap into the air. Before he could fall, a blue lotus blossom bloomed beneath his feet, supporting his body perfectly.
>
Every step I take, a blue lotus supports me.
He descended like a banished immortal, stepping down from the city wall one step at a time. When he reached the ground, the gray-cloaked elder standing beside him also descended simultaneously.
“Old Chen’s lotus blooms step by step, and he is quite skilled at it.”
"I'm not as good as you."
Chen Shu glanced at him, shook her head, and then a surge of righteous indignation welled up in her chest.
“Here comes the sword!”
The sound was magnificent and profound, the clang of swords rising from nothing to fill the entire nation's capital.
