Chapter 1871: Chapter 1856: No, Shi Feng!
The sound of a bell from the ancient desolate era echoed once more.
When Xi Mu and the Nine Demon Generals heard the sound of the bell reverberating through the heavens and earth, their hearts trembled violently. Xi Mu inwardly whispered to himself:
"What is meant to come, still has to come!"
Immediately, Xi Mu and the demon generals heard cries of agony resounding from all directions, yet that bell sound did not attack them, the Nine Demon Generals.
"Shi Feng, you!" Xi Mu watched as large masses of people were shocked to death.
Those who were killed were mostly the demon soldiers and generals under their Top Ten Demon Generals.
At this moment, Shi Feng slowly spoke, his indifferent voice echoing across the land once again: "Those who hear the command of I, the Great Demon, and still do not kneel, naturally must all die!"
Those just killed by Shi Feng’s Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Bell were all who did not kneel before him, Shi Feng.
Others had wisely paid homage to him as their new master; those stubborn ones who refused to kneel, well, they should die.
Those demon soldiers and generals who were killed were all loyalists to the Top Ten Demon Generals, in their hearts, worshiping heaven, earth, the demon generals, and the Sinister Three Demon Masters.
As for the other martial artists killed, they were faithful followers of the Sinister Three Demon Masters, only seeking revenge against the traitor.
In their minds, the victor becomes king, the defeated become bandits; since they lost, let them be killed, how is there any reason to kneel before this traitor?
Rather die than kneel!
At this moment, those who did not kneel before Shi Feng, aside from the Nine Demon Generals, were a force left only with dozens of people.
Shi Feng did not exterminate these dozens because of the woman he met months ago, Sen Rou!
Among them, the thirty-seven people, Shi Feng sensed a cold, dark aura similar to Sen Rou from them, related to the shared cultivation technique.
The Sen family responded to the call of the Top Ten Demon Generals, leading family martial artists to the Sinister Demon City to crusade against the traitor. At that time, the Sen family brought nearly ten thousand martial artists.
However, under the evil devouring power of the Heavenly Demon Scepter, only a scant thirty-seven survived.
For the Sen family, this battle was absolutely devastating with severe casualties, significantly diminishing their strength!
The thirty-seven members of the Sen family knew well that the situation was irreversible, and their life and death hung in the hands of that evil demon far in the distant void, yet they still glared coldly at that person with a look of indomitable defiance.
Looking at those standing among the Sen family, Shi Feng spoke, saying:
"Sen family, for daring not to kneel to I, the Great Demon, you deserve execution! But I spare your lives for Sen Rou’s sake."
"Sen Rou?"
"Sen Rou?"
"Sen Yi’s daughter, Sen Rou?"
...
When Shi Feng’s cold voice echoed, the crowd emitted waves of quiet exclamations, countless gazes immediately focused on the Sen Family Patriarch, Sen Yi.
"This Sen Yi, seemingly upright and noble, turns out had already arranged for his daughter to associate with this evil demon!"
"This evil demon spared their Sen family, not directly killing them even though they wouldn’t kneel, pretty deep relations it seems!"
"On the surface, the Sen family suffered heavy casualties, yet their foundation remains, conserving the real strong ones. Secretly associating with this evil demon, looks like the Sen family will soar sky-high from now on."
"Sen family!"
"Sen Rou!"
"If only I knew earlier, I would’ve made alternative plans and sent my sect’s stunning women to associate with this evil demon!"
"I seem to have heard, not long ago during the battle of geniuses, Sen family’s Sen Rou nearly perished, it was this evil demon Shi Feng who blocked that blow with his own body for Sen Rou, even getting gravely injured for Sen family’s girl."
"Sen Yi, such well-played moves!"
...
"Sen Rou!" At this moment, the Sen Family Patriarch Sen Yi and a group of Sen family martial artists lightly murmured this name.
"Humph!" And just then, from beside Sen Yi, a middle-aged man heavily snorted, saying: "Sen Yi, no wonder your good daughter kept urging us not to crusade against this traitor, turns out she already has ties with him!"
"You!" Upon hearing the man’s cold snort, Sen Family Patriarch Sen Yi furrowed his brows and turned his head towards him.
This person was precisely Sen family’s Great Elder Sen Wei, Sen Yi’s biological brother from the same parents!
But judging by their expressions, the two brothers seemed at odds.
"What ’you’!" Seeing Sen Yi looking at him, Sen Wei coldly said:
"Sen Yi, for surviving, you willingly let your daughter associate with this traitor, how do you face your daughter? How do you face the ancestors of our Sen family? How do you face the Sinister Three Demon Masters who greatly favored our Sen family? Sen Yi, you’re truly not fit to be Sen Family Patriarch!"
"You!" Sen Yi coldly spat out a "you" upon hearing Sen Wei’s words, and coldly said: "Sen Wei, stop spouting nonsense here, Rou’er knowing this traitor, I knew nothing about it, let alone arranged it secretly!"
I, Sen Yi, face heaven and earth squarely, and face my conscience!"
As Sen Yi spoke these words with a face full of indignation, he slowly turned his head back towards Shi Feng in the distant void, saying:
"Traitor Shi Feng, if you want to kill, just kill without being lenient for anyone’s sake! In the Sen family, there are no cowards afraid of death!"
"Yes, the Patriarch is right!"
As Sen Yi’s last words rang out, the Sen family people one after another spoke: "In the Sen family, there are no cowards afraid of death!"
"Come on, kill!"
"The victor becomes king, the defeated become bandits. If we can’t avenge the great Three Demon Lords, what’s the point of living? Traitor, kill us."
"Traitor Shi Feng, we Sen family are not the timid and cowardly ones, we will not submit to you!"
...
Cries began resonating, each person from Sen family looking full of boldness.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing those shouts, with traitor after traitor, Shi Feng let out a displeased cold snort, then said to the group of Sen family:
"I, the Great Demon, spared your lives for Sen Rou’s sake, but since you seek your own death, then... go die!"
"Dong!" Instantly, the sound of the bell resounded once more.
Upon hearing this bell toll like a death knell, countless kneeling bodies trembled involuntarily.
At the sound, they naturally understood what it meant.
Someone was about to die again!
"No! Don’t! Shi... Shi Feng, please, I... beg you! Don’t!"
And just at this moment, a woman’s voice filled with pleading and panic suddenly resounded.
Within the crowd, a white silhouette swiftly flashed towards the Sen family!
The arrival was precisely Sen Yi’s daughter, Sen Rou.
