The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 77 | Devil Valley – Temporary members

The two of them stood face to face by adjusting their respective breaths, seeming Xiaozi slightly superior to the monster general Ermai who was dripping blood at the corner of his mouth.

“I ask you one more time, let go of my friends. I will release you” Xiaozi shouted at General Ermai.

“Hahaha. I will not do that” said Monster General Ermai while laughing

Xiaozi's face became extremely dark, he immediately deployed the Sword Path he had just mastered using the Spirit Hunter Sword. Baihu raised his sword with both hands in front of him and pointed towards the monster general Ermai.

Although the movement was simple, the pressure of the power it produced was terrifying and made General Ermai's face pale after feeling the pressure of the sword force.

“Ugh... This kid is amazing. Perhaps only King Xhame could subdue him” muttered monster general Ermai in his heart.

His twitching eyes looked at Xiaozi's cold-looking face and stared at him sharply. Cold sweat ran all over General Ermai. This was the first time he had faced such a frightening enemy like Xiaozi.

However he did not give up, he exerted all his strength to withstand the attack from Xiaozi.

Both fierce forces emanated from the two of them, the people around them were bounced away by that power. They hit their friends who were there.

The gripping atmosphere seemed as the two men prepared to attack each other. An enormous sword shadow emanated from Xiaozi's body displayed his formidable strength. While monster general Ermai formed a large shield defense shadow to withstand the attack.

They prepared to pit their respective peak powers. Xiaozi immediately slashed the sword of the Spirit Hunter towards General Ermai who was seen holding back with his sword in front of his body.

General Ermai felt an extremely powerful force hit his sword and made his hand feel numb. The shadow of the shield he formed slowly began to crack by the sword shadow attack from Xiaozi.

“Death to you” shouted Xiaozi who had already peaked his anger by stomping his strength towards General Ermai.

General Ermai's eyes glared as his entire shield shadow shattered into pieces. He did not expect himself to be defeated by an unknown novice child. His body was pierced by the shadow of the great sword and made his standing stunned motionless.

BUGH!

The body of the monster general Ermai slumped backwards a moment after the sword shadow disappeared. Monster general Ermai breathed his last with a grievous death by Xiaozi.

The entire army of monsters that saw it fled their escape. Xiaozi no longer had any energy at this time. He simply ordered the Spirit Hunter sword to finish them all off.

Sword Spirit Hunters chased after those monsters and killed them all. Qiongqi who saw the enemy fleeing was also no less fast than the sword of the Spirit Hunter. He and Wuya flashed attacking the monster army one by one.

A short while later the main headquarters of the Ermai monster general army in the Demon Valley had become a pile of corpses of monsters. Qiongqi and Wuya immediately cleared the remains of the monsters still hiding inside the residence of General Ermai and also searched for the whereabouts of their three friends.

After combing through the entire place, they did not discover the whereabouts of their three friends in that place. Wuya came while carrying a trembling-looking person in his hand.

“Master, I found the remaining Goat Mage King in this place” Wuya said as he threw the body of the Goat Mage King towards Xiaozi.

“Master, forgive me. I'm just a subordinate. I will tell you where your friends are at” to save themselves from Xiaozi's anger.

“Your friends have been captured by the commander of the army of monster general Yime” said the Goat Witch King.

Hearing that Xiaozi's face looked stunned. Monster general Yime was the top rank of the five monster generals. Second rank monster general Ermai alone was already difficult for him to defeat because he was balanced, let alone monster general Yime.

Wuya's face also looked dark hearing that,”What did you say that was?” wuya asked the Goat Witch King

“True. I could swear by it. When I set up the demon formation, I found them taking away your friends” continued the Goat Witch King.

“Where is the position of monster general Yime?” xiaozi asked the Goat Witch King

“The headquarters of Monster General Yime is in Dragon Mountain, very close to the capital of the monster kingdom” said the Goat Witch King again

Hearing that made Xiaozi's face sink even more, attacking Dragon Mountain could be said to be suicidal for now, let alone adjacent to the Royal Capital where King Xhame was located.

“This is tantamount to facing them together” Xiaozi muttered feeling his head getting dizzy.

“But you take it easy, General Yime prefers slavery. So he won't kill your friends as long as he can still be employed in the mines of Dragon” Mountain the Goat Witch King said back

“Slavery?” Xiaozi was surprised to hear that again.

“True, the Dragon Mountain Mine is a Gold and Spiritual Stone mining. Many slaves from the subjugation of monster general Yime were employed in the mine. So as long as you can still be hired, your three friends will live” continued the Goat Witch King

After listening to the explanation from the Goat Mage King, Xiaozi felt a little relieved. He thought about what step he would take next.

”Good. I let you live, on condition that you follow my orders and help me with your magic as long as my friend is in the hands of the monster General Yime” Xiaozi said later.

Although the Goat Mage King did not want to fight against the monster clan, but right now his life was in Xiaozi's hands, so he was forced to agree to it.

However Xiaozi was not stupid, he ordered Wuya and Qiongqi to always keep an eye on the movements of the Goat Mage King and Qiongqi happily get the job done.

“Good Sir. I will look after him” said Qiongqi while licking his lips with his tongue and smiling at the Goat Mage King.

The Goat Mage King felt goosebumps looking at Qiongqi's behavior, he swallowed his saliva feeling a killing intent radiating from Qiongqi's body even though he seemed to be smiling at her.

“Alright, we will immediately go to Pulau Duyung according to the original plan. After becoming strong and releasing the seal of the Spirit Hunter Sword, we will save our friends” Xiaozi said

The four of them set off for the island of Mermaid, located east of the Devil Valley.

While the hiding Yan Gang had managed to increase his strength to a level 3 Jade stage, he immediately returned to General Ermai's monster headquarters and found a pile of corpses there.

His face looks ordinary, even though he is subordinate to monster general Ermai, but he prefers to live freely doing whatever he wants by relying on his strength without the orders of others.
