Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 770

Chapter 770: Chaos in Demon City

Without wielding a sword or any typical weapon, she deftly shaped her flames into razor-sharp blades. This incredible ability was bestowed upon her by the ancient scroll gifted by Xiong Zi Ying.

Without even needing a blade, Shenlian Yingyue constructed her flames into sharp, deadly instruments, cutting through the air and flesh alike. It was a gift bestowed upon her by the ancient scroll that Xiong Zi Ying had entrusted to her, and she wielded it like an artist with their brush, painting a scene of chaos and fear amongst the demons.

Xiao Yun and everyone had never witnessed her like this before. Her emotions were typically maintained in a tight grip, surfacing only when sadness and heartache took hold, especially when seeing them suffer little. Anger would bubble up if they were unjustly hurt, and she was always there to channel that rage against their tormentors.

Yet, this time, her fury was unlike anything they had seen. It was as though she had transformed into a different person entirely. Her eyes shone with a cold, menacing light and an unmistakable desire for vengeance. Each movement was executed with a ruthless precision, revealing a determination that hinted at the depths of her rage; this demon had dared to insult her beloved father and mother, two figures she revered above all.

Xiao Yun and the others exchanged anxious glances, fully aware of her torment, they were worried about her mental state but they had no choice but to follow her lead and proceed with their plan. Xiao Li, Xiao Lan, and everyone looked at several men and asked them to take care of her during their absence.

Chaos erupted in the city as they ignited flames and strove to free the oppressed.

"Something’s gone wrong!"

"The city’s gates and walls are ablaze!"

"The trees and plants are burning!"

"What?!" gasps echoed among the demons.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have been concerned about the city gates going up in flames, considering it was merely a Mortal Realm stronghold. Yet, they couldn’t dismiss the severity of the situation. How could the city’s gates and walls be consumed by fire when they were constructed from Obsidian Shards obtained from the heart of the Demon Realm?

Those black, glass-like stones were able to absorb light and energy, making them ideal for dark fortifications. They were imbued with cursed energy, granting demons enhanced strength and protection.

How could those trees and plants catch fire? They were ensnared by Evergloom Vines!

Evergloom Vine, this creeping vine thrived in darkness and fed on despair. It cannot be removed by mere mortal hands, as it roots itself in the emotional state of those who try to harm it. When threatened, it produced a poisonous fog that disorients and repels attackers.

They ceased to pay heed to Shenlian Yingyue’s presence and staggered forward, attempting to manage the chaos around them despite their grievous injuries. The pitiful demon lay beaten and battered, nearly transformed into a mere smear on the ground by her ruthless onslaught.

"Because my father betrayed my mother, he hurt her and left her to be with another woman. I always thought that my father was at fault. I hate him very much, but one day, I found that I’m not my mother’s and father’s child. My mother had an affair with another man. Both of them betrayed each other. I’m a mixed-race demon," the demon said dully, his red eyes were empty but there was intense pain that hid beneath those emptiness.

There were no tears in his eyes nor the trembling voice from his throat but the intense despair and desolated aura that he tried to hide somehow was perceived by her.

"I’m sorry to ask that question. I don’t mean to disrespect you or your parents. I’m just curious." He struggled to stand up but was fruitless. He was in great pain now even when he was speaking. He didn’t know how long it would take to recover. Sigh, who did he provoke?

Shenlian Yingyue fixed her gaze on him, not letting go any of his expressions, and asked, "Her father had an affair with a monster, what does this mean?" she repeated the words he said.

"Aren’t you a mixed-race of human and monster from the Underworld Realm?" The demon frowned.

It took her a moment to realize that he was referring to the monster race since she had the breath of a monster now.

Shenlian Yingyue, "....."
