Demon Emperor
Chapter 11 the Monster Forest

After arriving, it appears that a group of people are killing each other who do not know what the problem is. Without a second thought Yi Fan immediately slashed the head of the first person he saw and continued his attack indiscriminately. This is not without reason, because these people have characteristics that are almost the same as the person he killed yesterday, which is both ugly.

Being busy with each opponent, Yi Fan's presence was completely unknown to them until the sound of shouting resuscitated them.

Yi Fan leisurely choked one's neck until one's body was lifted. The man thrashed to try to escape from the clutches of Yi Fan's hand, but all his efforts were in vain because the grip on his neck was getting stronger to make it difficult to breathe.

The man's eyes glanced at his friend while glazed over, “To-please me...”.

Yi Fan only gave a glance which made them stare in fear. The Demon Emperor instead strengthened his grip until the man's eyes were white, "Death...."

Krekka... Yi Fan broke the person's neck like a twig. Not wanting to be the same fate as his friend, finally one of the people ventured to ask.

With a mental collapse he slowly stepped closer to Yi Fan, “Sorry, this master who? and what is the need sir here?” Although afraid that he was trying to make his voice sound even though he was stammered, he also showed a forced smile so as not to offend the young man in front of him.

Yi Fan flicked his sword to remove the blood that was attached and then put it into the sword sheath. Yi Fan put on a confused face because the skin on the face of the person in front of him was like an undead, as his eyes glanced downwards as it turned out that the person's pants were soaked.

“I won't be pleasantries, if you don't want to die quickly tell me where the boy from the Qin Family you kidnapped is now!”

They looked at each other, they looked confused as to how Yi Fan could tell the fact that they had something to do with the kidnapping of the young master of the Qin Family.

"Em.. it's.. we..."

Seeing the doubtful expressions of those people made him come to a conclusion if those people chose silence perhaps because of the power of the mastermind behind the kidnapping of his young master.

“Hei! I'll shut your mouth forever if you don't give me an answer.”

Yi Fan's repressive words made all of them gulp. They certainly did not want to die, but on the other hand they would also not survive if they dared to divulge the whereabouts of the boy they had kidnapped.

Yi Fan who still did not get an answer finally acted, he pulled the hilt and suddenly as the person in front of him split into two pieces vertically. Of course his actions made them all creep in fear instead of playing.

“Ma-master sword!”

One of the people uttered a sentence that made all of them simultaneously drop their weapons while kneeling down and bowing their heads respectfully, they did not expect that the young man who was seen still smelling fast turned out to be a sword master.

It was only fitting that they did not see how or when exactly the young man cut their friend's body into two parts, even they did not see any movement at all.

Yi Fan sheathed his sword, “Hey, I need an answer, not an homage.” Yi Fan let out a small sigh and shook his head slowly, “The person who answered my question will let live, I will let live, while the rest I'll kill.”

Hearing that made them all scramble to propose themselves.

“I-I'm master!”

“I know where the boy is!”

“They all lied sir! I'm the one who knows the boy's whereabouts!”

One of them charged forward and prostrated in front of Yi Fan, he was a young man who at a glance one would understand if he was a weakling, “I know where and who the person who kidnapped the boy is sir, to-please choose me sir!”

Yi Fan's hand clasped the handle of his sword then flowed his Qi. Seeing Yi Fan who was holding the handle of his sword made them all run in an uncertain direction to save themselves.

Yi Fan put on an indifferent face and still focused on pouring Qi into his sword, he looked like there was no plan to try to chase after those fleeing people.

Several times there were cracks coming from his sword, but Yi Fan still continued to flow his Qi until the sheath of his sword was destroyed. After feeling that it was enough, he instantly slashed his sword horizontally in the air.

The Qi that was released from that simple slash was extremely strong and fast. At the same time all the bodies of the fleeing people were split into two parts followed by the trees around the place which also split.

The sound of the attack made the birds fly in the air.

Yi Fan looked at his hand that looked vibrating after releasing the attack, “Death to taste..” His gaze led to his sword that looked like it had a lot of cracks, “It seems like I don't need this anymore, either,” He threw away the unworthy sword and picked up one of the swords below that the men had left behind.

Qiu Yu flew slowly down then alighted on Yi Fan's shoulder. Yi Fan looked at Qiu Yu sharply, he was quite astonished by Qiu Yu's strength, as the bird seemed to have gotten used to the murderous aura.

"My killer aura is still overflowing, but this bird. What a strange bird.’"

Yi Fan approached the young man who was currently looking at him with horror, he closed his eyes when he saw Yi Fan reaching out to him. The Abusive Devil pulled the collar of the young man's shirt and forced him to stand up regardless of his mental condition.

“No need to cry and quickly show me the way or I will kill you! and also..” Yi Fan threw his sword at the young man, “bring the sword.”

The young man nodded obediently without making a sound. With limp legs, he walked leading Yi Fan towards the place of the boy they had kidnapped earlier.

On the way Yi Fan was unceasingly looking at Qiu Yu who was perched on his shoulders. Either out of annoyance or what, Qiu Yu suddenly just pecked at Yi Fan's face.

Yi Fan stroked his cheeks that looked red due to the patting of Qiu Yu, “It turns out this little knee bird is tired of life huh?" muttered Yi Fan whose eyes began to cast an unpleasant glance towards Qiu Yu.

When Qiu Yu was about to run, Yi Fan's hand quickly moved to strangle his neck, “It seems I have found the dinner menu later.”

Qiu Yu thrashed but upon seeing Yi Fan's facial expression that looked like it was going to eat him made him faint instantly. Yi Fan put on a puzzled expression, who would have thought that a crow with extremely strong soul strength could faint just from a mere joke.

“What's because of my face?” Yi Fan imagined his face then put on a face of disgust when his imagination went wild, “Sial, I have not seen this body face, hopefully it looks nothing like I thought.”.

Yi Fan carried Qiu Yu with his left hand as his own right hand was still numb, it had not even stopped shaking since earlier. Several times he moved his right hand which even made his hand tremble even more violently.

“My weakest sword technique alone has already weighed heavily on my hand,” He muttered with a sigh, “It looks like I have to hold back for a while.”

However, anyone who saw Yi Fan's strength would definitely react the same, as even elder sword masters would be in trouble might not even be able to demonstrate Yi Fan's weakest sword technique slash before.

Shortly after, the young man stopped and pointed forward. Yi Fan who understood his point only walked leisurely past the young man, because his ears vaguely caught the human activities not far from his current place.

The young man fell limp from feeling that he was still safe, but suddenly Yi Fan walked back towards him which of course made him panic instead of playing.

Yi Fan stretched out his hand, “Draw my sword...”.

The young man's eyes glared, he had completely forgotten that since he was holding a sword, “Ma-forgive me, this is sir..” With trembling hands he returned the sword that was laid down on him.

Yi Fan put Qiu Yu into the clothes he was wearing and then took the sword from the young man's hand using his left hand. Unexpectedly, Yi Fan suddenly swung his sword. The sword stopped right before decapitating the young man and only slightly scratched the outer skin.

“Quickly tell me who is the mastermind of this kidnapping, before my sword slashes your head!” Yi Fan asked without pulling back his sword.

The young man gulped, “Di-he is a young master of a large royal family.”.

Yi Fan pressed his sword until the scratch on the young man's neck deepened, his gaze as if it would eat the young man in front of him if it did not immediately give a satisfactory answer.

The young man's face looked paled, he was like he was not dealing with a boy but with a leader, this kind of pressure even exceeded his leadership.

'"I don't know his name at all.” He again gulped his saliva before finally continuing his words, “But if I don't remember wrongly, people always say if is the next successor to the Feng Family Head.”

Yi Fan immediately pulled back his sword after getting the answer he expected. For a moment Yi Fan looked at the young man from top to bottom while then shook his head slowly, “Too weak to not deserve to be killed.”.

After saying that Yi Fan immediately walked away leaving the young man alone with a frightened face.

**

After walking for quite a while, Yi Fan finally saw a fairly large campground. Yi Fan walked slowly closer and discovered that the camp was where the slaves were held or rather the place where the kidnapped people were held as slaves.

“It is also impossible for them to dare to kidnap a young master without a strong reason, even if it is from a small family though,” Yi Fan suddenly remembered the previous youth, “Ah! I forgot to ask the reason for his kidnapping."

With great care Yi Fan started circling the place to find the whereabouts of his young master. The night was getting late, but Yi Fan did not find the whereabouts of his young master at all, the guards of which many were enough to make it difficult for him to enter the campsite any further.

But from all the places he investigated, there was one tent that had a wide size and also more guards than others. Finally Yi Fan stopped his search, he sat on a large tree branch not far from the place and began to focus his gaze on the places he suspected.

“Patience will pay off..”.

Minutes by minutes, hours by hours passed until the day was almost morning, it made Yi Fan growled instead of playing, “What patience?! I've been sitting all night, but no one came out of that tent!”

Unexpectedly the person he was looking for appeared, the young master was seen walking out of the large tent with his hands tied and eyes covered with two large men who escorted him. Although the distance was quite far but Yi Fan could see clearly if the young master's body contained some bruises.

Yi Fan faithfully looked at where the young master was going until the three of them stopped right in a small tent and went inside.

After that there was the sound of his young master's scream that echoed, not only once but dozens of times until finally the screams stopped followed by the exit of two large-bodied people from the small tent.

Yi Fan jumped down from the tree which made Qiu Yu wake up. His gaze turned towards Qiu Yu then suddenly the Demon Emperor grinned widely, “Time rough way!” Yi Fan flicked his sword then walked confidently into the enemy cage.

The guards who saw Yi Fan were immediately on standby, as he was about to shout out suddenly his head had already been removed from his body. Yi Fan slaughtered all the guards he encountered with a single strike then dragged him into the bushes.

His attack was very similar to that of a hitman: fast, effective, without making a sound or leaving a trace.

Yi Fan also freed the slaves held captive, he did not expect that the confinement of the slaves turned out to have some sort of powerful array seal, but of course it was not a big obstacle for the Demon Emperor like him.

Yi Fan pressed his hands together, a moment later the iron cage that locked the slaves was slightly shaking which made everyone inside woke up, they looked frightened but Yi Fan immediately hinted with his guest for them all to shut up.

Not long after the cage stopped shaking, Yi Fan opened the cage door a little, “If you want to live you better follow my directions,” Seeing everyone nod makes Yi Fan continue his words, <TAG1>, “I've killed some guards here, but their numbers are too many, I can't handle it alone.”

An old old man asked limply, “What can we help sir, we will do anything as long as it can get back into the arms of our family.” His originally dim light eyes looked a little radiant as expected.

Yi Fan in his heart laughed wickedly, “Quickly or later they will definitely realize their missing members, so you guys only need to busy some guards while I will save someone first.”.

Seeing the worried and hesitant faces of the slaves made Yi Fan sigh, “You guys take it easy, I promise to free you all, I will, but I'm not at all promising you're all going home alive, this is the price to pay for freedom, so what are your options?”

They all turned to each other before finally nodding steadily their signs in agreement.

“Alright, we will follow all the orders of the master, but the master must hold the promise of the master to free us all.”

Yi Fan said yes, “I never reneged on my promise.”

“So what's the plan?” A young man stood up and looked at Yi Fan arrogantly.

Yi Fan looked at the young man who spoke just now in surprise. "There is no doubt, no fear, the look in his eyes is very sharp, what the fuck is this him?" In his heart, Yi Fan wondered about the figure of the proud young man before him.

Yi Fan stared back at the young man, “What's your name?”

The young man pointed to himself, “Oh, me? i Yongzheng. ”

Yi Fan frowned, he looked familiar with the name Yongzheng, but he did not remember who or when he had heard the name.

As Yi Fan examined Yongzheng's strength, he was struck with a dark aura that made his soul tremble, even making Qiu Yu thrash around then fly away as far as possible. Yi Fan suddenly closed all of his senses and tried to neutralize the dark aura entering his soul space. Yi Fan looked at Yongzheng in disbelief, only this time did he discover something extremely terrifying in his life.
