Ch 335

Chapter 335: 335

The battle raged on around the city as countless explosions and gunshots could be heard from the soldiers as they tried to defend the city but their resistance was useless.

The enemy had come from the upper realm after all and all of their cultivation levels were even higher than the nirvana stage. Although they had to suppress their power to the nascent soul stage to enter the lower realm they were much more skilled and experienced than even the best cultivators on earth.

It was lucky that Haru had been taught by people even more skilled than the demons that had come to earth or he too would be useless against them.

‘Where are you hiding?’ Haru thought to himself as he floated around the city watching the chaos below as he tried his best to search for Hanying but it was no use. Hanying was nowhere to be seen.

As Haru was flying around the sky it became obvious to the demons that saw him that he was also a cultivator and a few of them flew up to test his strength but as soon as they came close to him the red flames shot out from Haru’s body once again and burned them all to cinders.

Each time the red flames burned a demon Haru would feel a boost in power. It was almost as though he was absorbing their Qi every time.

He wasn’t sure how but Kun’s power had the power to absorb someone else’s life force. Lao or Li Jun knew next to nothing about Kun’s real power but it seemed as though it was much more extensive than either of them originally thought.

He wanted to know more about Kun’s but it would have to wait. Hanying was still alive and Haru was out for revenge. After what Suyin had told him when he entered the soul cavern he couldn’t just sit back and let him live any longer.

Even if it cost him his own life, Haru was determined to make Hanying pay for killing Suyin and he was willing to do whatever it takes to do so.

“You! Identify yourself immediately! You aren’t with our squad.” A voice called out from below as Haru remained stationary for a few moments as he took a minute to look around once again.

As he looked down he noticed a man below with two women behind him who were all wearing long sect style clothing which made it obvious to Haru that they were from one of the sects in China. He used his spiritual sense and quickly realised that they were all at the manifestation stage which was good for someone on earth. But not nearly enough to fight one on one against even a single demon.

‘There are other cultivators here? That’s great but their strength is a little bit too weak to stand up against this kind of enemy. At least they are fighting in groups. It will boost their chances of survival a lot more.’ Haru thought as he looked down at the man once again.

“I’m just a wandering warrior. No need to worry.” Haru called out back down to them as his voice quickly attracted the attention of two demons that were hiding nearby.

“Get him!” One of the demons yelled out as Haru remained floating in the sky as the two of them rushed towards him with their swords drawn.

“Hey get out of there. Let us take care of this!” The male cultivator on the ground shouted as he jumped up to match Haru’s height before flying towards him to try to save him from the attack.

However just as the two demons swung their swords towards Haru they both exploded, causing a red mist to float down from the sky as Haru appeared in the location that they were previously.

“What in the…” The cultivator whispered to himself as he looked at Haru with disbelief as he wasn’t expecting such strength to come from someone who looked so young.

“Um… I’m sorry for disturbing you, sir. Please carry on as you will.” The man quickly bowed his head as Haru turned to face him.

“There’s no need to apologise. I’m just looking for someone at the moment so please excuse me. I have no time to stick around here.” Haru said before vanishing once again.

As the day went on Haru continued his search for Hanying while taking out a couple of demons on his way if they decided to get in his way. Soon rumours began to spread on the ground of a mysterious young man that would appear out of nowhere and kill the enemy before vanishing once again as it was only a matter of time until the soldiers fighting below noticed him.

But that wasn’t the only rumour that was spreading across the city as the demons had a different take on the situation. For them, an unknown challenger had come out of nowhere and they suspected by his strength that he too was someone from the upper realms. Yet none of them had a clue who he was.

It became their goal to uncover his identity and to kill him for glory. Soon the demons began to group up to search for Haru and took their attention away from their initial orders to destroy the city and keep the soldiers preoccupied fighting them which gave the military the time they needed to go to all of the government buildings in the city and search for the president.

After all, if the president of China was captured by the demons then they could force him to order the soldiers to give up or hand over the countries power to them.

Even though the demons had a clear advantage with technology and strength, each one of the soldiers knew that the world would go into chaos if the enemy gained access to the countries nuclear weapons as they had enough to launch to every single country at the same time.

If they managed to get their hands on them it would lead to global nuclear fallout and the death of millions if not billions of innocent people.

As Haru soared around the city searching for Hanying he heard a loud bang emerge from the far side of the city near the old imperial palace and saw a cloud of smoke in the sky above it.

‘What was that!? Don’t tell me it’s another airship…’ Haru thought as he looked up at the sky but saw no sign of the demons airships after taking down the first one.

As he saw that the sky was free of airships he became more curious as to what caused the explosion so he decided to make his way over to take a look for himself but as he arrived on the scene he was met with the lifeless bodies of countless Chinese soldiers laying on the ground, some with missing limbs and some buried under large blocks of stone.

“This wasn’t an accident if so many people were gathered here before it exploded.” Haru thought and then remembered how his house in shanghai had also been blown up from within, causing the concrete to cave in and crush Suyin to death.

“Hanying! You bastard!” Haru yelled out as he knew that he was getting closer to finding his mortal enemy even if he didn’t have an idea where he could be. But he knew that he wouldn’t kill a bunch of soldiers on his own unless he was worried about something. He had his lackeys to kill for him so there was no reason to blow up a building unless he was trying to hide something.

Haru landed upon the floor and began to use his spiritual sense once again to see if he could find anything out of the ordinary or anything suspicious that would give a reason to why the building was blown up but he couldn’t find a single thing.

Just as Haru was about to give up his search he felt a cold draft brush against his legs as he looked down to see that he was standing on a metal drain cover that was covered by a few rocks.

“What is this?” Haru whispered before kicking away the rocks and debris and then reaching down to pick up the metal cover to reveal an old iron ladder that lead down into a dark abyss below.

Without a second thought, Haru jumped down into the abyss, knowing that no matter what was lurking down there he would kill without a single shred of mercy. He didn’t feel patient enough to deal with anything other than killing Hanying so he felt no fear at all as he descended into the darkness.

Haru fell for what felt like a couple of minutes before landing on the ground with a loud bang that shook his surroundings as a cold splash of water shot up and drenched his clothes.

‘Kun… I could use a bit of light please.’ Haru thought as he wanted to conserve as much of his power as he possibly could.

A faint golden light began to emerge from Haru’s back before quickly illuminating everything around him that was previously shrouded in darkness.
