Coming of the Villain Boss! Chapter 885 - The Sword That Breaks Through The Sky (27)

Chapter 885: The Sword That Breaks Through The Sky (27)

The birds chirped and the stream flowed in the mountain.
A horse carriage moved slowly along the mountain road at a steady pace. The sound of the horse’s hooves echoed through the air.
A small portion of a red dress could be seen hanging down from the horse carriage. The sound of bells moved along with the hooves and rang through the air. It was pleasing to the ear.
The girl leaned against the horse carriage with half-closed eyes. She had a three-inch bamboo stick in her hand and she was tapping it casually on the back of the horse.
The girl was beautiful. No scenery on the mountain could be compared with her smile.
The horse carriage reached the end of the mountain path. The view in front of them changed.
There was a village.
“Are you all sure that it’s here?”
The girl in red jumped down the horse carriage and looked at the village.
Black shadows suddenly appeared all around her and a black ball of ghostfire floated in front of the girl.
“Urgh…” Of course. How can we be wrong!
“The last time, you all found a woman. The last time, you all found a young lady that just got pregnant. The last last last time, you all found a man…”
The ball of fire moved up and down and interrupted Ming Shu’s lecture.
“Urgh…” We are definitely right this time!
They were certain.
They had been sealed for a long time so it was acceptable that they would make some mistakes at the start.
Ming Shu was speechless. She remembered the time when they told her why they didn’t want to change into human form. They said that walking was tiring.
Ming Shu slowly entered the village.
The village was huge. It was lunchtime, so most of the households were cooking.
“Oh my god!”
The woman that was cooking suddenly saw a girl in red outside her house and almost threw her cooking turner in fright.
She patted her chest and looked at Ming Shu carefully. “Little girl, where did you come from?”
She knew everyone in the village, but she had never seen this girl before.
Ming Shu smiled brightly and took out a spirit stone. “Can I have a meal here?”
The woman didn’t know what a spirit stone was, but the stone was beautiful and the girl was pretty. Hence, she agreed to Ming Shu’s request.
There were an old lady and a child in this house too. They led a poor life.
Ming Shu was pretty and her smile was gentle and warm. She looked innocent and harmless. The woman liked her a lot and decided to cook one more dish for her.
Before she finished cooking, the girl in red brought back some wild rabbits.
When the table was set up, the scrawny child looked at the meat and swallowed.
It was rare for them to be able to eat meat. They might not even have meat every half a year.
After they were done, Ming Shu asked the woman, “Did any strangers come to the village recently?”
“Strangers?” The woman shook her head. “Not that I know of.”
Ming Shu asked again, “Is there anything strange that happened in the village recently?”
The woman paused from washing her dishes. She looked hesitant. “Lady, why are you asking this?”
“Did something happen?”
The woman stared at Ming Shu’s gentle and smiling eyes. She wiped her hands and said, “Sigh, it is not a big issue. There is a crippled old man in our village who picked up a baby a few days ago. The baby was really pretty. However, this old man didn’t like babies before. I don’t know why he would suddenly carry a baby back. He doesn’t allow anyone to touch the baby, either.”
A few months had passed since the demon king escaped. It was a huge issue in the country and the three sects and six clans formed alliances with the other sects and clans to find the demon king.
The demon king used a human and managed to escape the thunderbolt. The three sects and six clans were unable to confirm its location and had a difficult time finding the demon king.
Ming Shu followed the woman’s directions and walked to the edge of the village slowly.
There was only one straw house there. A dilapidated fence surrounded the house and formed a small courtyard inside.
An old man sat inside the courtyard. He had a hunched back and was stirring something in a pail.
The sound of bells came from outside and the man looked up.
His eyes were misty and his face was yellowed. His eyes sunk into their sockets. He looked like someone on the brink of death.
The two people looked at each other.
The air seemed to have stilled.
The old man looked down and continued stirring the thing in the pail.
Ming Shu asked, “Where is the child?”
The old man suddenly increased his speed and muttered, “The child is hungry. He wants to eat now. He is hungry. He is hungry…”
Ming Shu looked at the straw house behind him.
There was no special aura coming from there. The demon king was not inside.
There was a problem here.
Where is the demon king?
Did he fly away?
Boom!
The pail that the old man was stirring broke and red liquid flowed out of it.
“He is hungry!”
A sinister voice came out of the old man’s mouth.
Ming Shu reached out and blocked the liquid. A shadow appeared in front of her and protected her.
The red liquid turned into numerous vicious demons. The demons surrounded them entirely.
Ming Shu looked at Lian Jing’s serious face. He stabbed the demon in front of him with his sword and flew into the air with Ming Shu.
The area was filled with demons. They covered the ground and the sky. There seemed to be no end to them.
After they killed the first batch of demons, the second batch took over.
They glared at them with hideous faces and screamed. Their eyes were vicious and they looked like they wanted to tear them apart.
Lian Jing couldn’t change his form when he wanted. He also couldn’t maintain his human form for long.
Ming Shu grabbed his wrist. “Change back. Let me do it.”
“If I can’t even protect you, I will be ashamed of myself.” Lian Jing sneered.
The energy from the sword changed. It was red at the start and then it changed to blue. After that, it turned black… The Lianjing sword?
The black sword energy looked normal, but the demons screamed in fear when they saw it. Those that didn’t retreat in time turned into dust when the black sword energy touched them.
A hole appeared at the top and Lian Jing jumped through it while carrying Ming Shu.
After they managed to get out of the hole. Lian Jing waved his hand. A few flashes of sword energy struck the demons below and they demons disappeared. They were all turned into dust.
Ming Shu felt the Lian Jing losing his energy and she started to fall to the ground.
Lian Jing and Ming Shu slammed into the ground on their backs. They lay on the ground lazily just like how the Lianjing sword always did.
Ming Shu: “…”
Stupidity is infectious.
Other people will land with their feet on the ground, looking very handsome and cool.
He, on the other hand, landed on his back.
Is it because he won’t get hurt?
Or does he think this posture is pretty?!
Ming Shu smiled and mocked him before picking him up from the ground.
The Lianjing sword vibrated. It was not happy.
It wanted to be hugged!
It didn’t want to be picked up like this!
Ming Shu ignored its shouting and brought it into the courtyard.
The demons had already disappeared but the old man was still here. He sat there and continued stirring. He muttered the same words over and over again: “He is hungry, he is hungry…”
Ming Shu walked past him and entered the straw house.
The house was simple and dilapidated. There was an unpleasant smell inside.
