So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 247

Li Xianyu remembered the first time that he entered Demonic Priest’s memories via the ring. He was lying under the tree and sleeping at that time as well. However, back then, Demonic Priest was a carefree, lively young priest.

This time, he had a thin face and a wrinkle pattern in the center of the eyebrows. The flexibility and liveliness in the eyes were non-existent when he opened his eyes. It indicated that this man was no longer a boy with a simple heart.

Demonic Priest left the mountain to enter the real world, and then to the fall of Changsha. It had only been less than a year, but it was as if many years had passed. A carefree young man had been transformed into a man of vicissitudes.

“Second Child, Little Sister asked you to come and find me?” Wang Chen sat up and looked at the half-grown child with a smile.

“It’s the Japanese. A large number of Japanese troops passed by the village just now. The organization wanted me to inform you to get ready to hunt.” Second Child took a few breaths and protested, “I have a name, Priest Wang Chen. My name is Li Zhu. Sister Wang Zhen said that I’ve grown up, you can’t call me by my nickname anymore.”

“Wang Zhen?” Li Xianyu murmured to himself. Who was she, Little Sister?

He could not ponder further. Wang Chen and Second Child left quickly. Li Xianyu ran with them for a moment in the mountains. He heard the thundering sound of water. As he walked out of the forest, there was a waterfall hanging on the high cliff in front of him. Like a lion and a white dragon, the water smashed into the water pool and roared.

He was familiar with the place. There was an independent cave under the waterfall, with Slime sealed in it.

Wang Chen and Second Child didn’t stop. They went down the stream and soon came to the valley, where they went into the cave covered by layers of shrubs.

The passageway had been paved in all directions, like a labyrinth. However, they acted like they had come home. They were familiar with the traffic and travelled in all directions, reaching the big cave in a short time.

Dozens of people gathered in the cave, dressed in coarse cloth, barefoot and straw sandals. They wore helmets belonging to the Japanese army on their heads as well. Each of them was equipped with a sanpachi-shiki hohei-ju, a bayonet and two grenades.

As Wang Chen entered, people cast their eyes on him.

Wang Chen asked straightforwardly, “How many Japanese troops are there? How is the equipment?”

“It’s a convoy of six transport vehicles, each of which is full of armed soldiers. I’m afraid we can’t resist this force.”

The person who spoke was a young man of good standing.

Li Xianyu thought he was familiar, but he couldn’t remember who he was.

“Since we set up our stronghold, there has never been such a large team passing by. There’s no reason to watch them go. Although we can’t fight the Japanese head-on, we can’t pass the opportunity to cause them trouble.” Little Sister’s voice was crisp.

Once again, he saw Little Sister. She was still so beautiful. She was 15 or 16 years old, with a row of bright teeth. At this time, she had changed her robe into an outfit of simple clothes. As she stood with a group of old men, it seemed like a delicate mountain flower was blooming amidst the thick rocks.

“It’s too risky. Although some of our cultivators are not afraid of bullets, the other comrades are ordinary people. It’s very dangerous to let them fight against the Japanese army whose forces are several times larger than their own.” Wang Chen shook his head and continued, “After the Japanese army occupied the counties of Hunan one after another and suffered several losses in the hands of the various vigilante villagers, the demon descendants headed by the Aoki family have begun to hide amongst the ordinary soldiers. With a little bit of carelessness, we may throw ourselves into their trap.”

“Hey, priest, what are you talking about? Since we dare to wield guns, we are not afraid of death,” someone in the team said.

“Yes, Priest Wang Chen. I’m awakened now. I can help you.” Second Child patted his dried chest.

Wang Chen kicked him and asked him to scram.

After escaping from Changsha, the national army retreated to Chongqing. Some of the demon descendants followed the national army to Chongqing, while some of them were exiled in the villages and organized the rural anti-Japanese troops. Wang Chen and several like-minded demon descendants gathered a group of village troops that were willing to fight against the Japanese army in several nearby villages. Taking this place as a stronghold, they began to fight guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army.

They mainly harassed the Japanese. When they met a small Japanese army, they fought. When they met a large army, they ran. Sometimes, they ran to the county to make trouble.

As the discussion ensued, another militiamen rushed into the cave. “Another group of Japanese troops have swamped the village.”

Everyone was surprised and Wang Chen frowned. “How many people?”

The soldier replied, “Three military trucks, twice our troops.”

“Twice… Another army arrived before this. The number is about 300.” Wang Chen frowned. “What do they want to do?”

In other words, the Japanese army was about to make a big move again. This was the idea recognized by everyone.

Pondering for a moment, Wang Chen made a decision. “Gather all the people, catch up with the Japanese army, and destroy this team.”

The young man who spoke earlier frowned. “We’re not waiting for them to go far? If we fight near the village, it will bring trouble to the village.”

The Japanese army had a strong sense of revenge. Also, they were bloodthirsty and cruel. During the Second World War, the Japanese army regarded the lives of the Chinese people as insignificant and carried out significant massacres in villages. If they knew that Japanese soldiers died nearby, they would definitely interrogate the villagers. If they did not say anything, a massacre would ensue.

Rabbits didn’t eat grass beside their nests. This team never fought the Japanese near the village they resided at.

“Clear the battlefield afterwards.” Wang Chen said, “This time, it’s worth it for us to take a risk.”

A few minutes later, 50 well-equipped militia gathered in the valley. From the perspective of clothing, this was a group of miscellaneously assembled soldiers, but their equipment had begun to take shape. With the exception of some heavy weapons, there were plenty of guns and bullets.

When they were all in line, they chased the Japanese in the direction that they left.

The demon descendants, led by Wang Chen, was in charge of leading the battle. The village troops could not keep up with them. The Japanese army had cars, so they need them to strike in advance. They would destroy the Japanese vehicles and wait for the militia to come.

It was only because of experts like them that this anti-Japanese team was able to survive in this manner till now. At that time, the Japanese army was dominant in Asia. The elites of the national army were not their match, not to mention the militia of peasant origin.

A quarter of an hour later, the team was in sight.

Wang Chen slowed down and spoke rapidly, “Brother Wang, you are proficient in Finger Flicker. You and Little Sister, cover me. I will attract the enemy’s fire from the front, and as for the others, attack from the side. If there are no Japanese demon descendants in the team, we can defeat them. If there are, retreat immediately after destroying the car and wait for Second Child’s reinforcements.”

Wang Chen sped up, left the team and dashed towards the convoy. In addition to Little Sister and the young man surnamed Wang, the remaining four people flanked them, using the terrain to get close to the Japanese convoy.

The Japanese soldiers in charge of security on the car spotted Wang Chen swiftly. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 100 meters.

He roared, raised his rifle and fired the first shot.

At full speed, Wang Chen pulled out his short sword. As the sword flashed, the bullet split into two parts; his speed was not stopped.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

More bullets poured out like torrential rain. However, Wang Chen did not panic at all. He used the skill that war heroes considered a necessity: being able to dodge bullets in daily life.

There was no bullet that couldn’t be dodged. If there was, you could use a sword and cut it apart.

Li Xianyu estimated that the cultivation of the Demonic Priest was almost at the level of a senior employee. After he left Quanzhen Sect and reached Changsha, he was just a nobody. In the fourth Changsha defense war, he grew rapidly, and his cultivation improved swiftly. After the fall of Changsha, he was only a bit less skilled than a senior employee.

Such a terrifying improvement speed— it was only a little bit worse than his cheat code.

He was indeed, peak Gokudo Path material. Slime just gave him the chance to reach the top of Gokudo Path, not the key.

There was no invincible cheat code, only invincible people.

Little Sister and the young man surnamed Wang covered him from behind. The former shot using the gun, while the latter flicked bullets. He hit his targets effortlessly, he was a sharpshooter among sharpshooters.

Like you, Kato Eagle’s fingers!

Li Xianyu remembered that his name was Wang Bo, and he was one of the good friends Wang Chen met in Changsha. Due to the fact that his ability was the same as his colleague Kato Eagle, Li Xianyu had a little impression of him.

When the distance from the last troop carrier was less than 50 meters, Wang Chen retrieved a grenade, yanked the safety rope with his teeth, and pulled hard. The soldiers turned pale when the grenade was thrown into the carriage.

At this time, a Japanese soldier rushed out of the carriage and kicked the flying grenade into the air. He rushed to Wang Chen and grasped the sword by his waist.

Iaido!

A clear gleaming sword flashed past. The sword in Wang Chen’s hand was sliced into two, and a deep cut formed on his chest.

The two people fought amongst the bullet storm, evenly matching each other. Wang Chen was not his match; furthermore, he had to deal with dense bullet flurries. Fortunately, at this time, his four flanking partners launched a surprise attack.

They destroyed the wheels, killed the driver and threw grenades into the carriages of the three vehicles.

“Retreat!” Wang Chen roared loudly, fervently pushed back the Japanese demon descendant, and escaped into the woods with the four other people, whose attack was successful.

There were too many Japanese troops. They could make a surprise attack, but if they fought head-on, they wouldn’t win. These Japanese soldiers, brainwashed by bushido spirit, had unrivalled courage. When they saw the situation was not good, they would hold you and detonate the grenade, destroying everything. A lot of demon descendants were killed in this way.

Besides, there were many people on the opposite side, and there were many guns. It was easy to dodge bullets from a long distance, but hard to dodge bullets from a short distance.

The Japanese army knew that they were difficult to handle. Instead of chasing after them, they stood on guard and checked the damage to their vehicles.

Wang Bo squatted in the bush and observed from a distance with a telescope. Wang Chen sat next to the tree, naked. Little Sister stopped the bleeding and bandaged the wound for him. Her face was full of pain.

“Senior, can we return to Quanzhen?” Little Sister was worried.

“I will never go back to the mountains if the lives of my brothers are not avenged. I will not go back to the mountains for as long as the Japanese invaders are not eradicated.” Wang Chen finished his words, before realising that her expression was grim. Immediately, he replied, “Why go back to the mountain? Our sect forbids marriage. How can I marry you if we go back?”

He grabbed Little Sister’s hand.

Little Sister blushed in joy.

Hello, you fucking scumbag. Sister Taisu must be crying her eyes out in the toilet now.

Unexpectedly, he was wounded by a couple. Luckily, Li Xianyu was just a spectator. Otherwise, he had to jump out and beat Demonic Priest up. In flirting with Little Sister, he should have looked at the occasion.

After a while, the militia finally came, and both sides fired at each other from hundreds of meters away. With them, they restrained the Japanese firepower. Wang Chen and his companions infiltrated the Japanese camp amidst the bullet frenzy.

More than ten minutes after the battle, there were many casualties among the militia. Fortunately, the seven demon descendants, who formed the core of the army, were only wounded and did not die.

“Priest, the captives have said that they are sending troops to encircle and suppress a group of demon descendants.” A militiaman found Wang Chen, who was changing the wheels of the troop carrier.

“Demon descendants…” Wang Chen came out from under the car. “Can you understand Japanese?”

“Priest, he can speak Chinese.”

“Oh… Take me to him.”

Seven Japanese soldiers surrendered as they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. A dozen militiamen aimed their guns at their heads.

“Who can speak Chinese here?” Wang Chen scanned the captives.

“Him!” The militiamen kicked the second soldier from the left.

Wang Chen said, “What did you just say? Demon descendants?”

The soldier bowed his head and replied in poor Chinese. The Japanese army captured a group of anti-Japanese fighters not long ago. After being tortured, they pried out the hiding place of a group of village anti-Japanese troops from the prisoners of war. It was said that there were many demon descendants among them. So, the Japanese mobilized forces near the county to eliminate this stubborn team.
