Chapter 418: Birth of Obsession (2)

Translator: CKtalon 

The price of land within a few kilometers of Xu Jingming’s residence had soared. Due to his fame, no demon in the vicinity dared to approach the area.

In one of the residences.

A man with a saber entered the residence, and a woman taking care of her children poured a bowl of warm tea immediately. “Darling, have some tea first.”

“Alright.” The saber-wielding man smiled and held the tea bowl. He then gulped down the tea and wiped the water off his mouth before handing the tea bowl to the woman with a smile.

“How was the caravan trip?” the woman asked. “Was everything alright?”

“It went quite smoothly.” The saber-wielding man smiled and said, “Although we encountered a demon on the way, it was only an ordinary demon. Just a few Demon Slaying Arrows seriously injured her and frightened her into fleeing.”

The woman was worried when she heard that. “Being a caravan guard is fast money, but it’s also dangerous. Our family has earned quite a bit over the years. Why don’t you… switch jobs? With your strength, expenses in the city wouldn’t be a problem.”

“I still have to send our children to the martial arts center.” The saber-wielding man looked at the two babies lying in the wooden basin with a gentle gaze. “I still have to make more money.”

“But I get worried and afraid every time you head out,” the woman said worriedly.

“I, Li Jinge, have been dancing on the edge of blades for so many years. I know how to deal with danger,” the saber-wielding man said confidently.

“Jinge, are you back?” A voice sounded from the residence, and an old hunched woman walked out.

“Mom.” Li Jinge immediately walked over.

Just as Li Jinge was accompanying his mother, wife, and children, Mountain Lord Dongming Wang Cheng and his master arrived on this street.

…

On the street.

Wang Cheng looked at the residence in the distance and said to the white-robed woman beside him, “Master, the most eye-catching residence over there is Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming’s residence.”

“Just do what you need to do. There’s no need to worry about me.” The white-robed woman stood by the street and calmly watched everything in front of her.

“Alright.” Wang Cheng nodded.

At this moment, there were teahouses, restaurants, and other places on the street. There were many residences and many pedestrians on the road.

Wang Cheng stared at the residence in the distance, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified. “Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming, I’ll give you a greeting gift first.”

“Demonic aura of heaven and earth, descend!” Wang Cheng spared no expense mobilizing the demonic aura in the world. Instantly, endless dark demonic aura appeared in the originally gloomy sky and instantly cloaked the area several kilometers around him.

Such a huge area instantly plummeted into the dark demonic aura. All the humans were attacked by the demonic aura, and their bodies instantly began to fester.

“Dad, I want to eat candied hawthorn.” A girl held her father’s hand, but when the demonic aura descended, the father and daughter were corroded by it.

“No—” The eyes of the girl’s father turned red.

“Dad.” The daughter looked at her father and was quickly corroded to bones.

Her father also turned into white bones.

Within a few kilometers, a large number of pedestrians and ordinary residents in the residences were corroded as they fell into despair and fear.

Many people had risked their lives to enter the prefecture capital to live a peaceful life, but today, they encountered the most terrifying demon in Cheng’an Prefecture—Mountain Lord Dongming!

“Go crazy.” The white-robed woman stood by the street and watched this scene. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. “If the demon goes crazy, the Demon Vanquishers will also attack crazily. In the madness, you either break through or perish.”

An Earth Demon disciple was worthless. What she needed were Heaven Demon companions.

At this moment—

In that particular residence.

Li Jinge was accompanying his mother and sitting beside a wooden basin, playing with his children. The middle-aged woman watched this scene with a smile and turned to prepare the dishes.

Back then, Mom brought me to the city from the village and raised me. She worked hard to buy a first-rate residence in the prefecture capital that’s near a powerful Demon Vanquisher. Now, I have a wife and children. No matter how dangerous it was outside, Li Jinge was always filled with fighting spirit.

“Kids, grow up quickly. When the time comes, I’ll teach you martial arts. You can then go to the martial arts center and learn martial arts from powerful martial arts grandmasters.” Li Jinge gently rocked the wooden basin.

The two babies in the wooden basin extended their hands and giggled.

But at this moment, dark demonic aura appeared from all directions and corroded the body of his wife—who was preparing the meal—as well as his mother and children.

“No, no—” As a caravan guard, Li Jinge instantly understood. The talisman in his arms instantly burned, but it only slowed down the corrosion of the demonic aura slightly, allowing him to see his mother, wife, and children turn into bones under the demonic aura’s corrosion.

“No!!!” Li Jinge’s eyes instantly turned red as tears of blood flowed.

Everything he had worked hard for all these years, everything he yearned for in the world, was gone.

“D-demon!” Li Jinge gritted his teeth until they bled, but no matter how painful and furious he was, the demonic aura finally corroded his body.

“Demon! Demons, all of you deserve death—death!” Li Jinge roared softly as he turned into white bones. When he turned into white bones, his mouth continued moving, and finally, a skeleton collapsed.

…

The attack came too suddenly. Xu Jingming was sitting there eating exquisite food, and Wu Qi was eating with him.

“Young Master, whether it’s eating or sleeping outside, nothing beats doing them at home, right?” Wu Qi said. “There’s no need to work too hard at Demon Vanquishing. You have to take care of yourself.”

“Alright, Uncle Qi.” Xu Jingming was quite hungry and was enjoying his meal.

Everyone in the residence was quite happy to have their master back.
