Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 36: Blood debt, pay it with blood!

"My lord, after you left, General Tiegu and his brothers took care of the family business, and everything has been going on as usual for the past twenty years."

"But five years ago, a bald man in yellow clothes came from nowhere and set his sights on our Kanyuan Mountain property. He smashed the King's Golden Horn Cave, occupied Kanyuan Mountain, and built a new cave."

"Tiegu led his brothers to fight hard, but they were no match for that man. Many of his brothers died in the battle. Tiegu was hung on a flag by that man as a warning to the others. This frightened the monsters, and Wuman also joined the big man in yellow."

"Fortunately, the man in yellow was not very good at swimming, so Qingmian led hundreds of remaining water tribe brothers and fled along the green mountains and waters, hiding in a lake four hundred miles away."

"Brother Qingmian said that he was afraid that the king would come back one day and be harmed by the man in yellow clothes for some unknown reason. He specifically asked me to wait for the king here so that he could tell him something."

The mosquito demon Shu Wen wiped his tears and sobbed.

"The big bald man in yellow?"

Xiao Chen groaned for a moment. Where did this bald man in yellow come from? He didn't know whether he was a human, a demon, or an immortal.

Xiao Chen ordered: "Take me to see Qingmian first."

Shu Wen pointed in a direction, and Xiao Chen dragged Shu Wen, flying into the air with a golden light.

"My king, the brothers are hiding in this lake."

Shu Wen pointed to a lake about thirty miles in radius under the sky and said.

The two landed by the lake.

"Qingmian, Qingmian, the king is back!"

Shu Wen shouted loudly towards the lake.

Hearing this, ripples appeared on the lake surface. The head of a big black carp poked out suspiciously, and the moment it saw Xiao Chen, its eyes became extremely excited.

The black carp's big tail swung quickly, and it used the force to leap out of the lake, stirring up a gust of black wind, and came to the shore, transforming into a half-human, half-demon fish monster.

This monster was none other than Xiao Chen's trusted little monster when he was still a patrol general, and the supervisor of the Golden Horn Cave when he was the king, with a green face.

Qingmian fell to the ground, weeping and saying, "Your humble servant, Qingmian, pays respect to the king!"

"I have been through so much these years, missing you, my king, every day! I hope you will come back and take charge of the situation for us!"

Then, Qingmian waved his hand and ordered:

"Everyone come out, the king is back!"

At Qingmian's command, hundreds of shrimp soldiers and crab generals emerged from the water, stood behind Qingmian, and bowed to the ground in unison: "Little men, hello, great king!"

Xiao Chen looked at Qingmian.

When I left, this green-faced man had only practiced Taoism for over a hundred years. After thirty years, this little fish demon has already practiced Taoism for over three hundred years, and has made rapid progress. It seems that he has practiced the "Black Wind Art" left to him seriously.

And now, Qingmian's words and actions, commanding these hundreds of little demons, are as easy as commanding one's own arm. He makes proper use of them and has the demeanor of a great general, and they have grown a lot.

Xiao Chen felt somewhat relieved, and the scene of his departure emerged in his mind.

The little fish demon held the "Black Wind Art" in his arms like his lifeblood, and promised solemnly: "My lord, don't worry, I will practice hard and make sure you can use me soon!"

Xiao Chen patted Qingmian's shoulder and said softly, "Okay, get up quickly and tell me about the situation of the bald man in yellow."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qingmian limped to his feet.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen's face darkened: "Your leg?"

"My lord, it's okay. I was hurt accidentally."

Tears welled up in Qingmian's eyes and he forced a smile.

Qingmian narrated: "My lord, that bald man in yellow clothes is quite powerful. Generals Tiegu and Wuman were captured by him without even a single move."

Then, Qingmian looked at Xiao Chen's face again and said cautiously:

"My lord, how about we just give up and find another family business..."

"He captured Tiegu and Wuman in one move. It seems that this man in yellow is quite powerful."

Xiao Chen groaned, patted Qingmian's shoulder, and comforted him gently: "However, your king has learned some skills outside these years, so he won't flee without a fight."

"Let's go save Tiegu first, and then go meet the man in yellow!"

"Okay, Qingmian knows that the king is so powerful and majestic that he will definitely defeat the man in yellow!"

When Qingmian heard this, he instantly gained confidence, and smiled as he flattered her. This scene seemed to have instantly returned to the Golden Horn Cave Mansion, where the little fish demon served beside Xiao Chen's throne with all his might.

"Let's go! Since your legs and feet are inconvenient, just carry me on your back."

"The remaining little demons will stay here and wait for my news!"

Xiao Chen gave the order, then picked up Qingmian and carried him on his back, just like when the two monsters went together to capture the mother green fish monster.

Shu Wen turned into a small mosquito and stuck to Xiao Chen's shoulder.

"I am now a celestial being, and have gained some knowledge of the principles of strength. I also have magical weapons such as the Soul-Snatching Orb and the Mountain-Chopping Axe, as well as a number of supernatural powers."

"I can fight against a True Immortal, and I can escape from the hands of a Mysterious Immortal."

"Today, I want to see who this big man in yellow is!"

Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold, he pushed the ground with his legs, and took the two monsters with him, turning into a golden light and heading straight for Kanyuan Mountain.

"My lord, I have secretly come to investigate, and Tiegu was chained to that pole!"

"The cave of the man in yellow is built inside."

In the sky, Shu Wen pointed to a pole more than twenty feet high on the open space in front of Shuzang Cave and said.

I saw that on the pole, there was a huge white skeleton frame locked tightly with iron chains, unable to move.

At this time, Tiegu had been tortured to the point of revealing his true form.

Even so, over the past five years, despite being exposed to the wind and sun day after day and suffering torture, his iron-boned body never yielded in the slightest and never uttered a soft word.

He has a heart of steel.

Seeing my former subordinates being tortured like this.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but get angry for a moment. He turned into a golden light and swept down. With one axe, he cut off the shackles on Tiegu's body, hugged Tiegu, and fell to the ground.

Feeling that someone had saved him, an extremely faint green light shot out from Tiegu's empty eye sockets.

The moment he saw Xiao Chen, Tiegu's eyes flickered with green light, and he finally spoke with difficulty:
"Your Majesty, I am so incompetent! I have failed in my mission and failed to take good care of your family business."

"Tie Gu, it's alright, no need to say more, I already know the situation, just take a good rest."

Xiao Chen patted Tiegu's shoulder to comfort him, then handed Tiegu over to Shu Wen's care.

"How dare you come to Shuizang Cave to cause trouble! Guys, help me to catch him!"

In front of the Shuizang Cave, a leader of the bull-headed monsters saw someone kidnapping Tiegu and shouted loudly.

In front of the Shuizang Cave, five or six hundred cattle, horse, and sheep monsters, holding weapons, surrounded it.

Xiao Chen took a quick glance and didn't recognize any of these little demons. He thought they were the trusted little demons that the man in yellow had trained over the past five years.

So, without any hesitation, Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold. He took out the mountain axe from his waist and threw it towards the bull-headed monster.

Xiao Chen's mind moved, and he saw the mountain-cutting axe circling in the air, and turned into a silver round sharp blade, shuttling back and forth among the group of monsters like a ray of silver light. Wherever it went, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and in an instant it pierced through the necks of hundreds of monsters.

When the axe passed through the neck of the last monster, Xiao Chen reached out and steadily caught the returning axe.

Hundreds of monsters raised their weapons and surrounded Xiao Chen and the others. Before they could make a sound, they just stood there in a daze.

Then, their heads fell off one after another, and blood gushed out from their necks, like large beverage bottles spraying water, making a "squeaking" sound.

Finally, these hundreds of headless demon corpses fell to the ground with a loud bang. The scene was littered with demon corpses and blood flowed like a river. It was extremely horrifying.

This brutal scene made Qingmian tremble, thinking:
"The king is becoming more and more brutal. He used to eat the people of the Beast Taming Sect like eating mosquitoes, but now he is chopping their heads off like cutting wheat."

The mosquito demon Shu Wen was extremely excited when he saw the scene of blood flowing like a river.

He loved sucking blood and could not help himself. His eyes were glowing scarlet light. He stretched out his hand and kept wiping the sharp mouthparts, wishing he could reach in and take a big sip right now.

"This mosquito monster."

Xiao Chen glanced at it and activated the function of the Fu Hai Pearl to control the water flow. He casually rubbed his palms into a big blood ball and threw it to the mosquito demon to suck.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen waved his hand, and all the blood gathered into a river and rushed into the Shuizang Cave, it was extremely bloody and terrifying.

Xiao Chen's eyes were cold. He had never been a good person.

I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them!
The blood debt of the Golden Horn Cave Mansion must be repaid with blood!
