This assassin is upright

Chapter 387 Door-to-Door Delivery
"Lord Yu Zhun!"

Pago strode into the new base of the Killing Gods, looking at Yu Zhun not far away, his eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness.

"They're coming."

"They're moving pretty fast." Looking at the figures that were faintly visible outside the camp, Yu Zhun's eyes showed a hint of amusement. He then looked at the group behind him and said, "We've been working together quite well these past few days."

"Next, it's time for the God of Slaughter to see some blood."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout filled with high fighting spirit came from behind him.

Needless to say, the four of them, including Helmod, were also filled with fighting spirit in their eyes.

Judging from their imposing presence, no one could imagine that just a few days ago, these ten people were a pack of stray dogs who had lost their demon followers.

All of this is the result of the Killing Gods' group working together over the past few days.

Having witnessed the strength of Yu Zhun and his group of five, the other members now have complete confidence in this new demonic group known as the Killing God Clan.

Let alone a demon horde of twenty or more, even a demon horde of thirty or more is not invincible!
As Yu Zhun stood up and stepped forward, the demons of the Killing God Clan followed closely behind, quickly arriving at the edge of the encampment, where they saw two menacing groups approaching from not far away.

There were twenty-three demons on the left and twenty-five on the right. The leaders of both demon groups looked at Yu Zhun and the others with malicious eyes, their eyes filled with greed and disdain.

These two demons are the new "neighbors" of the Godslayers.

"So it was you who occupied the territory of the Demon Slayers and the Tiger Demons?" the leader of the demons on the left said in a deep voice. "The size of the territory you occupied is comparable to that of the Thirty Demons."

"What right does a mere demon horde of fewer than twenty people have to occupy such prime territory?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Zhun with disdain, "You're the leader of this demonic group, aren't you?"

"Give you two choices."

"First, hand over more than half of the territory to our Tao Demon Clan and their evil demon clan."

"Secondly, you can stay in your current territory and then be swallowed up by the two of us demons."

"In that case, I'll choose the third option," Yu Zhun said calmly with a slight smile.

"The third option?" The leader of the Tao Demon Clan was taken aback for a moment, then his expression darkened slightly. "You don't seem to have understood."

"I'm only giving you two choices."

“No, no, no.” Yu Zhun shook his head. “I think a third option is possible.”

“This choice is…” Yu Zhun looked at the two demons in front of him. In his eyes, they were nothing more than people who came to deliver members to his door.

“Let us kill the gods and devour both of you.”

As Yu Zhun finished speaking, the room fell silent.

A moment later, unrestrained laughter rang out.

Amid the laughter, the leaders of the Tao Demon Clan and the Evil Demon Clan gradually turned cold and mocking.

"To devour both of us demons?"

"You and your bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"

“What utter arrogance,” the leader of the demons said coldly. “No need to waste words with them.”

"We want both the territory and the people!"

As they spoke, the demons of the Demon Clan connected their energy and instantly formed the Demonic Battle Formation. A colossal true demon suddenly appeared, its face transforming into the likeness of the leader of the Demon Clan.

"You demons are still so impatient." The leader of the Tao Demon Clan shook his head slightly, then waved his hand.

The demons standing behind him understood immediately and instantly formed an array to create another true demon whose aura was not much inferior.

Two true demons, carrying astonishing pressure, crashed down on the God of Slaughter. At that moment, whether it was Yu Zhun and the other five or the other ten demons, they all felt their bodies go weak, as if it was extremely difficult to even stand up.

"Don't panic." Yu Zhun said in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with intense fighting spirit. "Don't forget our previous training together."

Upon hearing this, the members of the God of Slaughter were invigorated.

Under the terrifying pressure, their power quickly integrated and then completely merged into one, piercing through the terrifying oppressive force brought by the other two true demons like a sharp blade.

The third true demon has risen!

Yu Zhun's calm face appeared as he looked at the other two true demons, his eyes showing no fear, only a strong eagerness to try.

"Come!" Tao Mozhong shouted, his figure flashing as he appeared in front of the Killing God True Demons. He raised a long staff high and smashed it down on the Killing God True Demons as if the sky were collapsing.

Before the terrifying power had even truly arrived, ripples of space appeared at the tip of the staff, as if even space itself could not withstand such a terrifying force.

If this blow lands, the true demons of the God of Slaughter would likely collapse and explode on the spot, and all members of the God of Slaughter would be left to die!

The True Demons of the Killing God's eyes narrowed, and a pair of daggers appeared out of thin air in their hands, instantly blocking the long staff with extraordinary agility.

Just as Yu Zhun, who was controlling the true demons of the God of Slaughter, was about to retaliate, his expression changed slightly in the next instant, and he left the spot without hesitation.

"boom!!!"

With a sudden, loud explosion, a huge crack appeared where the True Demons of the God of Slaughter had been, the result of a giant axe a thousand meters long cleaving through the ground.

And the one wielding that giant axe was none other than the true demons of the evil forces.

"Tsk, just a little short." The True Demons of the Fiend Clan shook their heads regretfully, their eyes filled with a hint of hostility as they looked at the True Demons of the Wave Clan.

"You can't even subdue a group of fifteen demons?"

"These guys are as slippery as eels." Tao Mozhong's true demons' faces darkened. "It won't happen again next time."

As he spoke, the true demons of the Tao Demon Clan quickly changed their expressions, and the long staff in their hands instantly twisted, transforming into a tall, colossal tower.

"Soldier—"

With a loud clang of metal clashing, the dagger struck the giant tower precisely, but the full force of the attack from the God of Slaughter's True Demons left not a single mark on the tower.

Disappointment flickered in Yu Zhun's eyes as he controlled the True Demons of the God of Slaughter.

Through their trials and research, they discovered that while the true demons summoned by the demon lords were powerful, they also had their weaknesses. When switching the demon controlling the true demon and changing the source of the primal power, there would be a brief vacuum period during which the true demon would be at its weakest.

Yu Zhun thought he could catch the moment when the opponent switched their source power, but he did not expect that the Tao Demon Clan would switch their source power so quickly.

It seems some methods can no longer be hidden.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun activated [Silent Shackles] without hesitation. The gray domain instantly covered the two True Demons at the same time, and the effects of silence and immobilization descended simultaneously, causing the two True Demons who were preparing to attack the God of Slaughter True Demons to come to an abrupt halt.

Before they could react, the True Demons of the God of Slaughter moved with lightning speed, instantly striking at the True Demons of the Wave Demon Clan. "Buzz—"

With a low hum, the daggers in the hands of the God of Slaughter True Demons stopped abruptly just as they were about to pierce the bodies of the Wave Demon True Demons. Invisible forces, like ropes in the void, were released from the giant tower in the hands of the Wave Demon True Demons.

Those rope-like forces seemed to possess an astonishing control, easily rendering the true demons of the God of Slaughter completely immobile.

Even more astonishingly, Yu Zhun's [Silent Shackles] domain was dimming at a visible speed, as if it were being suppressed by the power emanating from the giant tower.

"Well done!" The demons laughed and swung their giant axes fiercely at the waist of the demons.

Just as the giant axe was about to cut the true demons of the God of Slaughter in half at the waist, the true demons of the God of Slaughter suddenly raised their heads. Their eyebrows and eyes no longer resembled Yu Zhun's, but instead showed Lu Wen's arrogant expression.

The moment they activated their invincible body and immunity to control using the power of their origin, the true demons of the God of Slaughter broke free from the giant tower's blockade. They swung their daggers at the incoming giant axe, and as they swung, the daggers grew larger in the wind. By the time they collided with the giant axe, they had already transformed into longswords.

"Ping—"

With a resounding clang of metal, Lu Wen's indifferent voice echoed softly in the arena.

"Sword Saint Technique Eleven..."

"The frost is like a waterfall!"

The sword energy that suddenly poured out instantly approached the demons and true demons who were right next to it, and then completely devoured them.

Unable to utter a sound, the True Demons of the Evil Spirits collapsed and dissipated on the spot, causing the True Demons of the Wave Demons on the other side to freeze abruptly.

"You..." The true demons of the Tao Demon Clan looked at the group of evil demons who had been sent flying backward and were in a coma, and their expressions changed drastically.

With just one strike, a true demon collapsed?

Who exactly are these guys?
At this moment, the leader of the Demon Clan had already begun to consider retreating, but the True Demons of the Killing God Clan turned to look at him.

It was a completely new face, and at the same time that face appeared, the longswords held by the True Demons of the God of Slaughter transformed into a book.

Book?
Alarm bells rang in the hearts of the true demons of the Wave Demon Clan, and they were about to retreat without hesitation, but the true demons of the Killing God Clan raised a hand.

"treat!"

As Yu Zhu's silvery voice rang out, the true demons of the Tao Demon Clan collapsed on the spot, and all the demon members were sent flying backward, already unconscious.

"Is that all?" Yu Zhu muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly before reluctantly dispelling the true demon.

The fifteen people who reappeared looked at the two groups of demons who had fallen unconscious not far away, and their eyes couldn't help but show excitement.

There's a new person here!
"Lord Yu Zhun, if we absorb both of these demons, we can even form a group of fifty demons!" Pago said excitedly, his eyes filled with reverence as he looked at Yu Zhun and the others.

The relationships among the demons are complex, with each side restraining the other.

Take the Tao Demon Clan and the Evil Demon Clan in front of us as examples. These two demonic groups have been at odds for many years and can be said to be old enemies.

The reason they didn't immediately try to annex the Godslayers, but instead offered two options, was because neither side wanted to let the other reap the benefits while dealing with the Godslayers.

Such confrontation exists among different demons, and it is precisely this opposition that has achieved a delicate yet extremely fragile balance, allowing the demons in a demon city to maintain the current situation.

But now, Yu Zhun and his Killing Gods have become the catfish that breaks the peace.

They have the ability and confidence to take on challenges beyond their level, and they will never choose to compromise as long as they can win.

Pago had no doubt that if Yu Zhun absorbed everyone here and increased the number of the Godslayers to more than fifty, they would quickly become the [Hundred Demons] and become the new strongest force here!
“No.” Facing the fanatical Pagoda, Yu Zhun calmly shook his head. “Imprison their power.”

"Then, wait for them to wake up!"

"Yes!" Pago nodded. Although he didn't know what Yu Zhun was going to do, he quickly carried out his orders.

Among the current members of the God of Slaughter Clan, there happens to be a demon who is skilled in the power of imprisonment. When the opponent is caught off guard, it is not difficult to imprison the power of a demon of the same level.

Soon, all the unconscious demons were imprisoned, and after being imprisoned, they slowly woke up, looking at Yu Zhun and the others in terror.

“You…” The leader of the Tao Demon Clan opened his mouth as if to say something, but then sighed dejectedly.

"So be it, the victor is king and the loser is villain."

"All members of the Tao Demon Clan are willing to join you."

"We, the Demon Clan, are also among them," the leader of the Demon Clan stated.

"Who said I was going to take all of you?" Yu Zhun looked at the two demons in front of him with a smile. "We, the God of Slaughter, don't take worthless trash. Expanding our numbers isn't urgent for me."

Upon hearing this, the two demons from the Demon Clan both changed color.

What does this guy mean?
In the past, the losing side in demon battles would join the winning side, but this person in front of them didn't seem to have any intention of absorbing them.

“Today, I will only accept fifteen people.” Yu Zhun calmly looked at the forty-odd people from the Tao Demon Clan and the Evil Demon Clan. “Whoever is most valuable to me, I will accept.”

"As for those who didn't make the cut..." Yu Zhun said with a friendly expression, "I certainly wouldn't offer any perks to the other demons."

"So, you'll have to stay here forever."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Is this guy crazy?
"I have limited time." Before these demons could react, Yu Zhun chuckled, "You'd better hurry up and show your value."

"Outrageous!" the leader of the Demon Clan roared. "You're breaking the rules like this... it's simply..."

"I said, my primal power can traverse the void!"

A familiar voice interrupted the leader of the Tao Demon Clan. The leader turned around sharply to look at one of the most important members of the Tao Demon Clan behind him, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

"That's a good ability." Yu Zhun nodded in satisfaction. "You're one of the fifteen members."

"There are still fourteen left, everyone hurry up."

Upon hearing this, the other demons no longer cared whether the actions of the Godslayers violated the rules, and began to declare their respective abilities.

The leader of the Tao Demons went from initial astonishment to helplessness, and then sighed, "Well done."

The most beneficial way to increase the number of demons is to have the entire demon horde join a new demon horde, but this practice will breed different factions and struggles within the demon horde, so the larger the demon horde is, the more difficult it is to increase its size.

The leader of the Tao Demon Clan originally thought that since the Killing God Clan only had fifteen members, their twenty-odd members joining would give them more say, even if their status was lower, they could still accept it.

However, Yu Zhun's method of selecting only a portion of people is not simply about choosing the most valuable members; it also easily undermines their sense of belonging and belonging to the original demons.

In this way, new members who join the Killing God Clan will only obey Yu Zhun and others, and it will be impossible for them to split into new factions.

Having discerned Yu Zhun's deeper meaning, the leader of the Tao Demon Clan suddenly felt that losing to such a guy wasn't entirely unjust.
