Chapter 423

If You Don't Mind the Trouble, I Can Send You on Your Way

Published on:

The human realm's territory was much larger than Hell's.

Although Hell had many regions, many areas were too extreme for habitation.

The human realm was different. Though it also had many dangerous areas, most were suitable for human survival.

Therefore, regardless of which realm, humans always outnumbered other races.

In the vast sea of humanity, asking him to capture one undead was like asking him to die.

"My lord, I've actually inquired a bit. This blue skeleton might appear in Luo Cloud City."

The ram demon suddenly spoke up.

"Luo Cloud City?" The bull demon's eyes lit up immediately.

Luo Cloud City might be far from Vermilion Bird City, but at least having a specific location made it manageable.

Finding the target was the main concern.

As for the blue skeleton's strength, that was hardly worth mentioning.

True, he had killed the Hell Hound, but in reality, the Hell Hound's strength was merely average in Hell.

It was only highly regarded because it was the Demon Lord of Greed's mount, giving it an elevated status.

Its actual strength wasn't even a tenth of his own.

"In that case, we march to Luo Cloud City." The bull demon immediately stood up and waved his large hand.

"My lord, launching an attack on Luo Cloud City right now might be inappropriate."

"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate?" The bull demon suddenly paused.

"Think about it. Marching to Luo Cloud City would create too much commotion and might alert our target. What if the undead hears the news and simply flees?" the ram demon suggested.

"Besides, we've always hidden in the shadows in the human realm. Those damn angels are constantly searching for our traces, trying to drive us from the human realm. Mobilizing our forces rashly would certainly draw their attention."

"Hmm? That is a problem." The bull demon immediately developed a headache.

"So what do you suggest?"

When it came to matters of strategy, the bull demon was indeed lacking.

He had to admit that when it came to natural cunning, rams were a bit sharper than bulls.

"My lord could select a few trusted subordinates to secretly travel to Luo Cloud City. This way, we won't alert anyone."

The ram demon proposed.

Clap!

The bull demon clapped his hands together and loudly approved.

"Brilliant! But... who should I take?"

The bull demon frowned, but a moment later, a deep voice sounded.

"If you don't mind the trouble, I can send you on your way."

Jiang Cheng strolled leisurely into the magma hall from outside.

For some reason, he had encountered almost no Hell creatures along the way.

He didn't know if this outpost was too small or if he was simply lucky.

And while the cave's Hell creatures were also level 150 with attributes much stronger than those outside, to him, there wasn't much practical difference.

So along the way, he kept the noise to a minimum, and upon reaching the hall, he had barely made a sound.

"How dare you! Who gave you permission to enter?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng enter the hall without any formality, the ram demon immediately chastised him.

"Wait, you said you'd send us on our way. What do you mean?" The bull demon suddenly stopped the ram demon.

"Old Ram, I don't recognize him. Which division is he from?"

Andeniu asked two questions in succession, leaving the ram demon at a loss for words.

"I don't recognize him either. Probably new personnel allocated by Little Deer. I'll ask him."

"He's already gone ahead." Jiang Cheng unsheathed the Nether Blade from his waist and gripped it.

"Gone ahead? What do you mean? When did he receive operation orders?"

The ram demon was very confused. "Are you really personnel recruited by Little Deer? So undisciplined. Don't you need to pay respects when seeing the lord?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head, realizing that conversing with these two mentally deficient creatures was taxing his brain.

"Deer horns, human body, deer skin markings on the shoulders, is that him?"

Jiang Cheng asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"That's right, definitely Little Deer. But that's no excuse for your lack of discipline. Kneel!"

The ram demon shouted loudly.

Meanwhile, the bull demon watched from the side.

The reason he had earlier stopped the ram demon from berating Jiang Cheng was simply because he thought Jiang Cheng looked promising.

But now, seeing him behave so disrespectfully in his presence, the bull demon felt that someone so unaware of the situation, with such poor intelligence, wasn't worth keeping.

Managing him in the future would be too difficult.

"It seems abandoning communication would be better." Jiang Cheng's soul fire concentrated.

The Nether Blade in his hand instantly transformed into the Dragon Abyss Spear.

"Roar..."

A dragon's roar sounded.

The Dragon Abyss Spear turned into a blue light, shooting toward the ram demon.

Splat!

The Dragon Abyss Spear instantly penetrated the ram demon's body, splashing blood.

Clang!

The powerful momentum carried the ram demon's body, pinning him to the high wall of the magma hall with a deafening metallic clash.

In an instant, the bull demon rose abruptly from his throne.

"Insolent! You, a mere new recruit, dare be so tyrannical? Daring to use violence in the great hall?"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

His reply came in the form of five arrows trailing blue light.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

To Jiang Cheng's surprise, a massive flame shield instantly appeared before the bull demon, actually blocking all five of his arrows.

But Jiang Cheng remained calm. When he entered earlier, he had already checked the bull demon's attributes.

A level 220 story boss with about 300 million health points. Apart from his dual defenses reaching 30,000, he had no real means to defend against Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng felt that fighting him should be quite relaxed.

Though this flame shield was interesting.

If he could plunder it, it might enhance his strength.

"Insolent recruit, watch my Savage Bull Charge!"

Thud!

As the bull demon stomped his hooves hard on the ground, the entire magma hall shook instantly.

Then, the bull demon lowered his three horns and charged toward Jiang Cheng.

But Jiang Cheng felt that if he could be hit by such a technique, it would be an insult to him.

How long had it been since he'd announced a skill name before using it? Unless it was to bait an opponent's movement skill, what player would say such things nowadays?

"Hmph, kid, so self-confident that you won't even dodge my Savage Bull Charge?"

"Then let me show you the power of my horns!"

During his charge, the bull demon saw that Jiang Cheng wasn't even attempting to dodge, which made him quite pleased.

The Savage Bull Charge was his specialty.

Once in Hell, he had established his reputation with this move, which was why he could come to the human realm and take the position of outpost captain.

He didn't think an undead could withstand this killing blow.

Swish!

Just as the bull demon was about to reach Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng suddenly stepped three paces to the right and swept his ice-blue cloak.

Rumble!

The bull demon's three horns instantly smashed into the hall wall, causing the entire hall to shake and countless bits of lime to fall.

"Impossible! Impossible! How could you, a mere undead, dodge my Savage Bull Charge?"

"I don't believe it! Again!"

After smashing part of the hall wall, the bull demon shook his head, with a damage value of -17,575,856 appearing above him.

But his eyes still held disbelief.

From the damage value above his head, however, Jiang Cheng unexpectedly discovered that perhaps his long-unused bullfighting techniques could be put to use again.
