Chapter 196: Marry You (2)

The fish monsters and shrimp demons seemed to have never seen paper soldiers before and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
When they came back to their senses, the two paper soldiers had already arrived in front of them. Their weapons slashed horizontally, and in an instant, two huge heads soared into the sky.
Lin Shen had just reached Beginner in the Paper Man Movement Technique and had only cultivated it to the first level. He had also used the weakest yellow talisman.
However, he was already at the third level of the Bright Aperture Stage. No matter how weak the paper soldiers he summoned were, they were at the third or fourth level of the Long Breath Stage. It was simply too easy for them to deal with a group of Spirit Awakening Stage demons!
In an instant, the two paper soldiers were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering the demons!
The seemingly thin and fragile paper knife was like a divine weapon when it slashed at the demon’s body. It pierced through the scales and flesh without any resistance, causing the demon to wail and bleed!
In just a moment, dozens of fish monsters and prawn demons were slaughtered by the two paper soldiers.
Lin Shen nodded to himself.
Although the Paper Man Movement Technique was not a spell specially created for an attack, it was still powerful in battle.
At this moment, Ai suddenly leaned close to Lin Shen’s ear and whispered,
“Lin Shen, there’s a sneaky creature over there!”
Lin Shen looked in the direction Ai was pointing. He saw a fish monster hiding behind a rock two to three hundred meters away, looking over.
Unlike the other strange fish monsters, the appearance of the demon was closer to that of a human. The curves of its limbs were smoother, and it was obvious that its cultivation level was higher than the other demons.
Lin Shen thought for a moment and understood.
There were many swamps in the Great Swamp of the West. Every place was occupied by some powerful demon. They used this as their territory to recruit soldiers.
If he guessed correctly, that fish monster should be the major demon occupying this lake and the leader of this group of demons.
Of course, it was only a major demon in the t.i.tle. There were no powerful demons in the periphery of the entire Great Swamp. The most powerful ones were only at the early phase of the Enlightenment Stage. Most of the time, they would be at the Ascension Stage.
With a smile, Lin Shen drew a line in the air with his fingers. Green streaks of light that looked like imprints immediately appeared in the air before condensing into the word “Thunder”.
In the next second, the word “Thunder” shone brightly and turned into a white lightning arrow that shot toward the fish monster hundreds of meters away!
Seeing this, the fish monster let out a strange cry and wanted to dodge. Unfortunately, no matter how fast it was, it could not be faster than lightning. In the next second, it was struck by the palm lightning. Its body twitched and fell back into the water.
Lin Shen was a little surprised that it was so weak.
“Looks like it’s only an Ascension Stage demon.”
At this moment, the paper soldiers had already killed all the fish monsters and prawn demons. Lin Shen simply used the Riding Wind Technique and lifted himself off the ground. He floated along the water toward the fish monster leader not far away.
The fish monster leader finally caught its breath. When it looked up and saw that the terrifying human cultivator had already approached, it was immediately frightened out of its wits. It knelt down without hesitation and shouted.
Lin Shen didn’t understand the demon language. Just as he was about to finish the fish monster leader off, he saw from the corner of his eye that Ai was listening very seriously and nodding from time to time. He was a little surprised.
“You understand what it’s saying?”
“Of course.”
Ai nodded matter-of-factly, then looked at Lin Shen in surprise, as if wondering why he asked such a question.
“I’m also a demon, so of course, I can understand what it says.”
Lin Shen was slightly stunned, and then he thought for a moment.
It seemed that the demons weren’t like ordinary beasts, who would have different sounds due to the difference in their species. Instead, all demons could understand each other.
The human race had only established a relatively unified language system after thousands of years of development.
However, the demons did not have this process. How could they unify their language?
Were they born with it?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen shook his head and decided not to dwell on it.
Thinking about such things in the cultivation world was the same as talking about physics and mechanics in the martial arts world. It was a waste of effort.
“What did it say?” Lin Shen pointed at the fish monster leader.
“He says he works for King Snakehead. You can’t kill him. Otherwise, King Snakehead will definitely come after you!”
“Who is King Snakehead?”
As if he understood Lin Shen’s words, the fish monster leader spoke again.
Ai dutifully translated. “He says that King Snakehead is the lord of the Mystic Stele Lake 250 kilometers away. He has many demon generals under him and is a famous demon king in the Great Swamp of the West!”
An idea dawned on Lin Shen. He casually flicked his finger, and a streak of energy pierced through the fish monster leader’s head, instantly killing it.
How funny. Even if it wanted to show it was connected, it should have chosen a better one. No matter how powerful that demon king 250km away was, how could he scare anyone?
Putting down his hand, Lin Shen looked around, shook his head, and turned to leave.
The corpses of the Spirit Awakening Stage monsters were worthless, but the fish monster leader still had some valuable materials on it.
However, looking at that slimy body, Lin Shen immediately lost interest in collecting it.
Besides, he didn’t care about those materials now, so he didn’t plan to waste time.
As expected, after this round of battle, the effect of Testify by Killing was not triggered.
But the clone gave Lin Shen a surprise. It soon triggered the talent effect once, increasing the progress of the Lightning Palm by 8%!
“Nice!”
Joy flashed across Lin Shen’s eyes.
With a clone hunting demons together, it was indeed much more efficient than before.
Unfortunately, the 1km distance was still too short, and the hunting range overlapped. When the zero consumption distance was extended in the future, the hunting efficiency would be improved a little..
