Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

The sword Qi swept through, and dozens of hideous water demons emerged from the water, screeching incessantly.

"Gah! Finally, some powerful martial artist flesh!"

"Take him back; the Great King will surely reward us!"

"Offer the best to the Great King, and let’s split the rest!"

"Hurry! Or other demons will come!"

"But these human martial artists seem dangerous..."

"If you’re afraid of death, why be a demon? Might as well go home and plant demon flowers."

"..."

The water demons were noisy, but their approach was swift, carrying enormous water elemental energy, directly targeting Xiao Peibai and other military officers with a clear purpose: to desire the flesh of these powerful martial artists!

This is why they, usually staying hidden, suddenly found themselves unable to control and rushed to the shore today.

No amount of ordinary human flesh could compare to a piece of powerful martial artist flesh.

"Form the Eightdirection Wind Formation! Engage!" Xiao Peibai shouted, and a group of officers immediately moved to form the formation, working in perfect harmony.

Their breaths connected, and the Innate Qi Aura gathered into a single force, released by Xiao Peibai.

The powerful sword Qi instantly shattered two water demons, causing their demon bodies to explode into a mist of blood in the air.

"Kill!"

The advantage of the Eightdirection Wind Formation lies in the words Wind and Movement.

With swift speed, thunderous offensive, sacrificing defense, and maximizing evasion.

In almost a breath’s time, the officers pulled all the water demons into the formation, commencing a round of slaughter.

The formation’s offensive was dazzling, and the water demons, previously wreaking havoc, soon acted like headless flies, crashing within the formation, eventually being slashed one by one.

The Captain on the side led hundreds of Lei City elites, initially wanting to assist, but quickly realized he couldn’t intervene.

The formation led by Xiao Peibai was already perfect and flawless, and his interference would only disrupt its operation.

"So strong!" the Captain said inwardly.

He believed he had witnessed the Cuiqi Army’s military formation posture before, but by comparison, the formation power displayed by the Cuiqi Army before him was undeniably the most powerful!

Soon, the water demons within the formation were slaughtered, leaving only demon blood and demon race remnants.

Xiao Peibai glanced at the slight demon blood spatter on his sleeve, frowned, and shook his aura, shattering the soiled sleeve.

In this wave, only two officers on Xiao Peibai’s side were slightly injured, with almost no losses.

"Admirable skills, General! I am in awe," acknowledged the Lei City Captain sincerely.

"It’s not over yet." Xiao Peibai shook his head, looking towards the surface of the mighty river, his expression turned more solemn.

Suddenly, on the river’s surface, a massive water tornado spiraled towards the sky, its momentum several times greater than the previous waves, causing hearts to tremble in fear.

"The River God is angry! The River God is furious!"

The masses witnessing this were instantly overwhelmed, believing that divine miracles had appeared, causing their knees to weaken.

In their shallow imagination, no demon could create such a spectacle, only divine power.

Yet Xiao Peibai saw with clarity the accumulated demon Qi, undoubtedly the work of water demons.

Only this time, the appearing water demon was far stronger than the previous ones!

The water tornado also swept towards the officers and masses on the shore.

"This isn’t good!" the Lei City Captain beside was shocked and pale; if this water tornado landed, the riverbanks might burst, causing countless casualties.

Even he, self-assured, didn’t feel safe escaping from this water tornado.

"Gather on me!" Xiao Peibai rose into the air, facing the water tornado guided by demon power, shouting.

Officers in the formation rose, concentrating all ’forces’ and ’energy’ onto Xiao Peibai.

At this moment, Xiao Peibai bore immense power from many sources, feeling unbearable swelling pain, as if his body would explode the next second.

He dared not delay, wielding formation might, slashing once more.

The sword instantly pierced the water tornado, striking directly at the shadow lurking within.

"Huh!" the shadow seemed astonished by Xiao Peibai’s precise strike.

"Interesting."

The water tornado suddenly stalled at the shore, and the shadow walked out leisurely.

In his right hand, a wave appeared, unscathed against Xiao Peibai’s all-out, fatal strike.

Xiao Peibai took a heavy breath, his mood turning grim.

The strike aided by formation might failed to harm the opponent.

Undoubtedly, this water demon’s power surpassed his.

"Great Demon?!"

Not only Xiao Peibai thought so; the officers were also stunned by the shadow’s casual demeanor, instinctively believing the opponent to be a Great Demon, inwardly exclaiming that things might take a turn for the worse.

"Once I capture your flesh, my mission here will be complete," said the figure with the body hidden by waves, his true identity still obscured.

"Upon encountering me, you should resign yourselves... "

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill, yet before he could look up, a leg filled with thunder light descended.

Boom!

Under everyone’s gaze, the massive water tornado received a fierce blow, exploding in a burst of thunder light.

Boundless Qi and water sprayed, making the shore feel like a downpour.

The demon shadow, resembling a cannonball, was kicked back into the riverbed, no longer maintaining the composure earlier shown when he took Xiao Peibai’s blow.

"Grand Marshal!"

The sight of that familiar figure in midair stirred excitement among the soldiers.

Song Changming’s timely arrival was truly key.

Without Song Changming, dealing with that water demon would have been impossible.

Song Changming’s eyes gleamed like lasers, scanning the river beneath.

The water demon survived his kick, showing an extraordinary demon body.

His perception was sharper than any soldier under his command, immediately identifying the demon as not a true Great Demon, but merely of Demon General Level.

However, as a water demon, its power was stronger in water than on land, thanks to environmental and territorial advantages.

But these advantages were negligible to Song Changming.

With his right hand, he activated the Thunder Seed, producing tiny lights of thunder between his fingers.

With a gentle flick, five strands of thunder light penetrated the river surface, deep into the bottom.

Song Changming clenched his fingers again, and the lightning, as if strings, tightened instantly.

Before everyone’s eyes, the demon shadow was dragged out by the lightning threads.

The thunder lights pierced its limbs and head, deeply numbing it.

Indeed, without Song Changming’s lightning restraint, the demon was already heavily injured by his kick, unable to escape regardless.

With a casual toss, Song Changming flung the demon onto the shore, instructing Xiao Peibai.

"Interrogate thoroughly."

"Yes," Xiao Peibai sheathed his sword and took the water demon, securely bound, away.

Song Changming cast his gaze over the Mineral River; his perception detected numerous hidden sources of demon Qi.

Clearly, besides today’s water demons, many others lurked in the river!

Normally, a river wouldn’t harbor so many sinister demons, especially ones capturing people recklessly, unlike fearful local demons.

These seemed more like outsider demons, briefly raiding before leaving.

Song Changming’s goal was not just to purge the Mineral River of evils but to uncover the origins of these outsider demons and discern if any powerful entities were masterminds.

To investigate, Song Changming deployed more thunder threads, enveloping the vast river area, capturing water demons one by one.

These demons, skilled in concealment, were untraceable under his perception, quite easy to catch.

He entrusted the interrogation of all these demons to Xiao Peibai, awaiting results himself.
