Chapter 1222: Killing Giant Spirit, Slaying Demon General

“Your crime of massacring lives and consuming humans wantonly is severe, demon! There is no place in heaven or earth for you! Surrender now while you still can!”

Sacred True Lord Erlang commanded when he saw that Ye Qing was unmoved.

“Surrender now while you still can!”

“Surrender now while you still can!”

“Surrender now while you still can!”

......

As soon as Sacred True Lord Erlang finished, the skyful of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals echoed in unison. Their voices deafened the ears, and the drum beats shook the heavens.

Ye Qing scoffed. “Hah! The ancient Heavens have been wiped out a long time ago, so who are you really, so-called Sacred True Lord Erlang?”

“Arrogant demon! You dare disrespect the Heavens and the True Lord? I will subjugate you!”

The next moment, a divine general stepped out of his ranks and rode a cloud down to the earth. He was as big as a mountain and baring his upper body. A giant python was wrapped around his waist, and he was wielding a pair of drum-beating metal urn maces[1]. He looked both fearsome and formidable.

“That’s... that’s the Giant Spirit Divine General!”

Someone let out a low cry of recognition. The divine general looked exactly the same as the Giant Spirit Divine General in “Erlang Subjugates The Demons”. One of the divine generals of the Sacred True Lord Erlang, the Giant Spirit Divine General boasted a height of one hundred meters and limitless strength. Moving hills and carrying mountains came to him as easy as breathing.

“Eat my mace, demon!”

When the Giant Spirit Divine General was about three hundred meters away from Ye Qing’s head, he let out an angry shout, lifted his maces over his head, and brought them down at the same time.

It was like a pair of mountains were descending on top of Ye Qing.

In response, a massive bronze axe appeared in Ye Qing’s hand. While holding it in a reverse grip, he performed an upward swing that split the sky like the dawn of the universe.

The axe beam cut the mountain-sized metal maces into pieces just like that. Not only that, the one hundred meter tall Giant Spirit Divine General was sliced into two as well.

The next moment, the Giant Spirit Divine General exploded in a shower of golden light, vanishing.

“Hah. You call this the Giant Spirit Divine General? It has more bark than bite!”

Ye Qing performed an axe twirl while wearing a scornful expression.

“The impudence! We, the four Generals of Mo, shall capture you!”

The next moment, an auspicious cloud carrying four divine generals descended.

The four divine generals were occupying a cardinal direction each. The one to the east was the Heavenly King of Growth Mo Liqing. Over six meters tall, he possessed the face of a crab and wielded a jeweled sword. Wind and fire circled around the sword with awesome power.

The one to the south was the Heavenly King of Hearing Mo Lihong. Over seven meters tall, he possessed a savage-looking face and wielded an umbrella. The umbrella was covered in jewels and beads that shone with divine power.

The one to the west was the Heavenly King of Support Mo Lihai. A little over three meters tall, he possessed a benevolent face and wielded a pipa. He wore a jewel on his head and looked mighty impressive.

The one to the north was the Heavenly King of Seeing Mo Lishou. Short as a midget, he possessed a treacherous face and wielded a pair of whips. Dragon serpent circled around his arm and gave him a strong presence.

Together, the four generals of Mo attacked Ye Qing at the same time.

The Heavenly King of Growth Mo Liqing waved his jeweled sword and caused wind and fire to blaze across the entire sky. His jeweled sword was called the Divine Sword of Wind and Fire, and runes of wind and fire were engraved on the blade. It allowed its wielder to control wind and fire.

The wind was the Black Wind, and contained within the Black Wind was hundreds and thousands of dagger-axes and spears. Anyone who entered the wind would find their limbs cut into fine powder. The fire was Golden Fire. Countless golden snakes lurked within the fire, and those who were burned by it would have nothing but ashes remaining.

The Heavenly King of Hearing Mo Lihong opened his umbrella and caused the entire area to turn as dark as the night. His jeweled umbrella was called the Chaos Origin Jeweled Umbrella, and eleven divine jewels were embedded on it. Respectively, they were the Old Emerald, Old Seal, Old Jasper, Night Pearl, Jasper Dust Pearl, Fire Proof Pearl, Water Proof Pearl, Cooling Pearl, Nine Melody Pearl, Beauty Fixing Pearl, and Wind Fixing Pearl.

One does not simply open the Chaos Origin Jeweled Umbrella. If they did, the world would fall into lightless darkness. If they spun it, heaven and earth would tremble, and yin and yang would turn upside down.

The Heavenly King of Support Mo Lihai played the pipa in his lap, filling the air with divine music that distorted one’s consciousness and destroyed one’s soul. His pipa was a seven-string pipa called the Soul Confusing Pipa. Each string was targeted at an Earthly Soul.

One does not simply play the Soul Confusing Pipa. If they did, they must be prepared to throw one’s consciousness into confusion and scatter the Seven Earthly Souls.

The Heavenly King of Seeing Mo Lishou waved his hand and caused the dragon serpent wrapped around his arm to swell in the direction of the wind. They quickly grew big enough to blot out the sky. The dragon serpent on his arm was called the White Jade Demon Dragon. Its body was smooth and fair like white jade, but its mouth was red and bloody like a blood basin. Its teeth were as sharp as blades, and its horns resembled spears and halberds. It was exceedingly fierce and could swallow a human in one gulp[2].

A smirk spread across Ye Qing’s lips when he saw this. His bronze axe transformed into a gnarly long saber, he swung upward again like he was splitting the sea.

In one swing, the Black Wind and Golden Fire were cut in half.

Next, Ye Qing performed a horizontal swing that fired a saber beam that looked like it was splitting Primal Chaos into two. Clear qi rose to the top, and murky qi sank to the bottom. As a result, the darkened sky regained its clarity, and the gloomy earth its light.

Two swings later, Ye Qing opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar that felt like the spring thunder that awakened all living creatures from their hibernation. It overwhelmed the music of the Soul Confusing Pipa and snapped all seven of its strings.

At the same time, the White Jade Demon Dragon got close and opened its bloody mouth, threatening to consume Ye Qing in one gulp.

In response, Ye Qing threw his bronze saber upward, and the bronze saber abruptly transformed into a three-hundred-meter long dragon-serpent that was bigger, fiercer, and deadlier in every way. It opened its giant maw and swallowed the White Jade Demon Dragon in one gulp[3].

The Four Generals of Mo were quite shocked and terrified as a matter of course. They tried to escape back to the heavens, but the bronze dragon serpent swung its tail and crushed them all into powder before they could do so.

“Who else is left to challenge me?”

The bronze dragon serpent turned back into a saber and landed in Ye Qing’s hand after slaying the Four Generals of Mo in one go.

“Ayayaya! We, the Seven Sages of Mount Mei will slay you!”

Seven people jumped out from Sacred True Lord Erlang’s back after hearing this.

People they might be, they looked more Stranger than human. Their bodies were human, but their heads were beasts.

“Seven Sages my ass. Just admit that you’re Seven Monsters!” Ye Qing scoffed at the sight of this.

“You dare slander us, demon? You are courting death!”

Enraged, the Seven Sages of Mount Mei ran straight toward Ye Qing.

As they ran, the Seven Sages of Mount Mei manifested their true selves and transformed into seven Strangers[4]. They were a white ape, a water buffalo, a yellow dog, a wild boar, a white snake, a mountain goat, and a centipede.

The next moment, all seven Strangers unleashed their respective Magias.

The white ape summoned a sky-level staff and swung it at Ye Qing.

The water buffalo spat out a stream of black water that corroded everything.

The yellow dog burst into flames and glared at Ye Qing with eyes that shone with red light.

The wild boar straightened its black fur until they resembled a pincushion of blades capable of shattering space.

The white snake twisted its body, tongue slithering like a whip or a chain that penetrated through sky and earth alike.

The mountain goat lowered its head to aim a pair of curved horns that could cut the heavens at Ye Qing.

And the centipede lifted its upper body and spat black smoke that eroded even the sun and the moon.

This time, Ye Qing gave his saber a shake and transformed it into a halberd.

While gripping the halberd with one hand, he charged toward the Seven Sages.

His momentum could not be stopped. He stirred heaven and earth with the bronze halberd like a demon god.

The white ape’s long staff was shattered in one strike. The stream of black water was cut in one swing. The scarlet light was scattered during a headlong charge. The charging boar was lifted off its feet and thrown into the sky. The white snake tongue was twisted into several pieces. The mountain goat’s horns were shattered in one bash. The rolling black smoke was swept away in one wave.

After that, Ye Qing executed a wide swing with his halberd. Its momentum was unparalleled, and its light reached the sky like the celestial bodies. All seven Strangers were beheaded just like that.

“Pathetic.”

Turning the halberd around and holding it in a reverse grip, Ye Qing began striding up toward Sacred True Lord Erlang like he was climbing a hill. “They are all so pathetic. Are you sure you don’t want to fight me yet?”

“Impudent, arrogant demon.”

Sacred True Lord Erlang sneered at him. “All units, slay this cur where he stands, now.”

1. So like, imagine a large pumpkin at the end of a stick. That’s the mace. No real name for it so I translated it somewhat literally. ☜

2. You have no fucking idea how much I hated translating all these passages that will be forgotten like, the next chapter. ☜

3. Not gona lie, this whole Devil May Cry sequence made me feel just a little less aggrieved. ☜
