Arrens was startled and was about to flee, but found himself unable to move.
Then, a cold light flashed, and his body was cleaved in two by a sword.
"Damn King Qin An, I will tear you to pieces!"
Arrens, trapped in the abyss, sensed the destruction of his clone instantly. Enraged, he unleashed a cloud of blood mist, instantly dissolving the two demons before him.
He was furious not only about the destruction of his clone but also about the valuable jar on it, containing millions of precious souls, and the jar itself being a rare treasure.
Coupled with his repeated setbacks at the hands of Qin Shilei, Arrens was incandescent with rage, wishing he could immediately rush into Blue Star, extract Qin Shilei's soul, and let the other party experience the demons' methods of soul torment.
Qin Shilei was completely unaware that he had thoroughly offended Arrens, who was far away in the abyssal world. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
After destroying Arrens' clone, he found a jar the size of a vase falling from the other party's body.
He reached out and snatched the jar, drawing it into his hand.
Without time to examine the jar's attributes, he tossed it into the Qiankun Ring and turned to slaughter the surrounding demons.
Phantom also unleashed a barrage of devouring lightning, rapidly annihilating these demons.
It was only after the entire city's demons were alerted that Qin Shilei realized he had underestimated the sheer number of demons.
Within his mental coverage, there were at least one hundred thousand demons. Combined with those outside his mental coverage, the number would likely double.
He couldn't continue chasing demons in this manner, or there would be escapees.
Elementalization!
Qin Shilei instantly made the correct decision. Activating the Elementalization attribute, his speed increased severalfold.
At this moment, looking down from the heights of Aalborg.
A dazzling silver light could be seen starting from the city's outskirts, spiraling inward towards the city center.
As this silver light skimmed the low altitude of the city, the fleeing demons instantly disappeared.
The trajectory of the silver light contracted, continuously closing in on the city's center.
The number of demons in the city dwindled. Some demons, deeming themselves safe, plunged into human bodies to hide.
Occasionally, any stragglers were swiftly eliminated by the people of King Qin An's mansion.
Although many demons employed various escape tactics, these meager skills were utterly insufficient against those at least at the peak of the Golden realm, and they were instantly caught and killed.
Ten minutes later, the lightning Qin Shilei transformed into had virtually swept through the entire city.
He took out the Shanhe Tu again, activated its display, and found dozens of small green dots scattered throughout the city.
Qin Shilei, holding the map, swiftly flew towards the locations indicated by the green markers.
What appeared before him was a sleeping human.
Qin Shilei concentrated his gaze and saw a faint phantom hidden within the human's body.
With a casual wave, he brought the human into his Dongtian Fudi.
Then, he flew towards the next green dot.
In less than five minutes, the dozens of Golden realm demons indicated on the Shanhe Tu were either obliterated by his thunderous strikes or captured and imprisoned in his Dongtian Fudi.
His subordinates, who had been dispatched to round up demons, reassembled around him.
At this point, all survivors in the city had been awakened by the upheaval, some emerging from buildings onto the streets to observe, while others peered through windows.
"I am King Qin An. While you slept, two to three hundred thousand demons invaded your city. The vast majority of them have been eliminated by us. Now, please assist us in finding the remaining demons who have gone into hiding."
"Once you spot any beings emitting a red glow, please let out a loud warning sound."
Qin Shilei's calm voice resonated throughout the entire city, also appeasing the unrest in people's hearts.
Evil Extermination (Purple): Once an alien being enters this area, a layer of red light will appear on its body, and its strength will be reduced by twenty percent. (Ineffective against cultivators above the King realm.)
This was an attribute Qin Shilei had acquired a few months prior and had kept in his collection. Upon encountering the first demon, he had fixed it to this area within a radius of five hundred kilometers.
With the assistance of this attribute, even in the darkness, the demons were like high-powered spotlights, conspicuous and prominent on their bodies.
"I have a demon here!" an evolved human shouted a warning while fleeing into the distance.
A member of the Dark Night immediately flew towards the sound and, in an instant, slew the demon hiding in a corner of a room.
"Why is this person also emitting a red glow?" another evolved human exclaimed in surprise.
As his words fell, a light-attribute ability user immediately appeared before the survivor emitting the red glow.
With a casual wave, a white light forced out the soul-devouring demon hiding within the human body.
He then unleashed another beam of white light, annihilating the target on the spot.
Soul-devouring demons and illusion demons were successively discovered and then killed.
These Soul-devouring demons, only at the Silver realm, lacked the skills of the Golden realm Soul-devouring demon Qin Shilei had encountered previously, such as splitting into several phantoms to escape. Therefore, once discovered, they were destined for utter annihilation.
After the vast majority of demons were located, Qin Shilei personally took to the field again, extending his mental power to search the entire city.
He once again located and killed hundreds more demons.
"Calm these survivors. I will go inside to interrogate the Golden realm demons."
Qin Shilei left these instructions and then brought over a hundred light-attribute ability users into the Dongtian Fudi.
Inside the Dongtian Fudi, these ability users quickly forced out the demons that had possessed the evolved humans.
The low-level demons were casually annihilated, while the remaining dozens of Golden realm demons were confined by Qin Shilei to a location for interrogation.
Under the illusionary control of Qin Shilei's Vajra Purple Eyes, these demons revealed everything they knew.
"Are all the Illusion Demons and Soul-Devouring Demons from this invasion here?"
"Mm."
"How many Illusion Demons and Soul-Devouring Demons are there in the abyssal world?"
"Countless!"
"How many Illusion Demons and Soul-Devouring Demons does Lord Arrens have under his command?"
"The vast majority of the Illusion Demons and Soul-Devouring Demons under Lord Arrens have been used for this invasion. His territory only has a sparse number of these two types of demons, very few wandering around."
After asking several more questions about the abyssal world, Qin Shilei casually blasted these demons to death.
Upon learning that the Great Xia's sphere of influence was temporarily safe, Qin Shilei prepared to return. "The demons who invaded this time should have all been cleared by us. Let's head back."
"Alright!" everyone responded in unison.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. After sending his subordinates back to Great Xia, Qin Shilei plunged into the demon-controlled territory and engaged in a brutal killing spree for three days and three nights.
He left the demons strewn across the land, their blood flowing like rivers.
