Drunken Swordsman: I choose the ruthless way, why are you crying?

Chapter 17 Okay, okay, you're a demon, right? Then I'll become the world's number one demon!

Stone country.

Inside Fengyun City.

In an inn room in the center of Fengyun City, Qin Hao was sitting cross-legged quietly.

His eyes were tightly closed, like a statue of a god in meditation, and a faint light emanated from his body. This light was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and it moved rhythmically like his breathing.

After a moment, Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and then he exhaled heavily. This breath of foul air was like a white streak, quickly dissipating in the air.

Two days have passed since the last thrilling battle with Li Ying.

During the past two days, Qin Hao has been recuperating in this inn in Fengyun City. With the help of the magical effect of Wanling Wine, his serious injuries were miraculously healed in just two days.

Not only that, even those shocking external injuries now showed no trace of scars left by the past.

At this moment, Qin Hao exuded vigorous vitality all over his body, as if the legendary sacred beast Phoenix was reborn from the ashes, full of vitality.

Qin Hao stood up and stretched his limbs. The bones all over his body made a crackling sound, and every inch of his muscles was full of elasticity and strength.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt the solidity of his Tiangang realm cultivation.

Every breath flowing through his meridians was filled with powerful strength. That strength was surging in his body, as if it could burst out at any time.

"time to go."

Qin Hao showed a satisfied smile and murmured.

Now that the injury has completely healed and my condition has reached its peak, I should continue on my journey.

There was a flash of determination in Qin Hao's eyes. The road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but he was fearless.

Thinking of the familiar aura of the martial arts practiced in the Zhan Wang Mansion that he vaguely sensed when he escaped from the battle with Li Ying last time, he began to have some guesses in his mind.

I'm afraid that in the end it was the people from Prince Zhan's Palace who stopped the other party, giving me the opportunity to escape.

It seems that this assassination attempt against him was not carried out by Prince Zhan's Mansion, but by someone else.

This realization made Qin Hao feel a little relieved.

Although his relationship with the Zhan Palace has been completely severed, he still has the same blood as Qin Langtian flowing in his body.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to fight to the point of death with Qin Langtian.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Hao pushed open the door and prepared to embark on a new journey.

At the gate of Fengyun City.

The scene at the gate of Fengyun City at this moment is completely different from the past.

Teams of fully armed guards were scattered everywhere. They looked alert, as if facing a powerful enemy, and carefully looked around. The three gates out of the city were heavily guarded and on high alert.

The soldiers held spears in their hands and wore long swords on their waists. The armor on their bodies flashed a cold light under the sunlight.

Even on the top of the city walls, huge crossbows have been set up, with crossbow arrows flashing coldly, ready to be fired.

Seeing this scene, Qin Hao felt a little confused.

He still remembered that two days ago, when he entered the city, the guards here were very relaxed and people lived in peace.

What major event happened in just two days that caused the defense of this city to become so strict?
Qin Hao walked towards the city gate with steady steps. Only then did he realize that the guards at the city gate were holding a stone emitting strange light in their hands, and they were strictly checking everyone who entered and left the city gate.

He still had some impression of this stone. It was called the Demon-Detecting Stone. It was not valuable, but it had an extremely important function, which was to detect the aura of demons.

Anyone who practices the magic skills of the demon clan will be exposed once they get close to the magic-detecting stone. This magical stone has always been an important tool for humans to resist the invasion of demons.

Just then, Qin Hao heard passers-by talking on the roadside, and their conversation seemed to mention his name. He immediately became curious and went over.

But then, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Qin Hao, the prince of the Zhan Palace, has actually fallen into the devil's way! This Qin Hao deserves to die! He is worse than a beast!"

"Yes, this devil is so young, but he has already reached the Tiangang realm. He may have killed hundreds or thousands of people, using the blood and souls of those innocent people to practice magic skills, which is why he has such strength! He is so cruel! He is unworthy of being a human!"

A young scholar said this with gritted teeth, holding the folding fan tightly in his hand, as if the fan was Qin Hao and he wished he could tear him into pieces.

"It's a pity that those kind-hearted people of the Li family failed to exorcise the devil and were killed by the crazy devil instead!"

An old man nearby sighed in grief, shaking his head and hitting the ground hard with his cane.

"Fortunately, our Shi Kingdom has the protection of the War King! War King Qin Langtian sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice, and he is worthy of being the War King of our Shi Kingdom! The people of our Shi Kingdom have nothing to worry about!"

As the scholar spoke, his eyes were filled with admiration and respect for Qin Langtian.

Almost all passers-by cursed Qin Hao, denouncing him for practicing evil skills and killing his own people.

Those words were full of contempt and disgust for him. Every word and every sentence was like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly stabbing his heart.

Qin Hao was standing in the crowd. When he heard these words, his expression instantly turned icy cold.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deeply into his palms, blood seeping out from between his fingers, but he was completely unaware and kept sneering in his heart.

He naturally understood why all this happened.

From the discussions of passers-by around him, he already knew clearly that Qin Langtian openly labeled himself as a devil without any substantial evidence, and even planned to stage a "killing relatives for the sake of justice" drama in order to win everyone's praise and support!

What a righteous act of annihilating relatives!
There was a flash of angry flame in Qin Hao's eyes, and the blood-red color became more and more intense, as if it was about to burn.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and there was a piercing coldness in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, you're a demon, right?"

Qin Hao muttered in his heart, with a cold smile on his face, "Then I will do as you wish and become the number one devil in the world!"

This was not just a statement made in anger, but also a deep-seated struggle against the injustice of fate and a counterattack against the stigma imposed on him.

He knew that from this moment on, his life would change completely and he would be the enemy of the whole world.

Since everyone in the world believes that he is a devil, then he becomes a real devil, a devil that makes everyone tremble!

He will use his own power to make those who slandered and framed him pay the price!

But he is fearless!

He wanted to let those people know that he, Qin Hao, was not a lamb to be slaughtered, nor an object to be slandered at will!
