Chương 242: Fellow villager? I killed my fellow villager!

I killed my fellow villager!

I killed my fellow villager!

"Who are you? It's so hard to breathe! I order you to let me go right now!"

hope Xing, whose neck was being choked, began to struggle due to the intense feeling of suffocation.

Unfortunately, her physical abilities prevented her from breaking free of the restraints, so she could only awkwardly activate her unique ability, "Mad Talker," in an attempt to influence the newcomer through mental interference.

"Inferior mental magic? Don't you know that the undead have extremely high mental resistance?"

Seeing that her proud ability had no effect on Yang Cheng, hope Xing, feeling the fear of death, began to beg for mercy with a pained expression.

"Please—have mercy on me—this time, it hurts so much—I can't—breathe."

Despite hope Xing's pleas for mercy, Yang Cheng paid no attention and decisively snapped her neck, preventing her from complaining of pain.

As for letting the other party off the hook— I'm sorry, although he has his principles, he is not a saint, and he does not treat humans with special favors just because he was once human.

Looking at hope Xing, whose neck he had broken and who had died, Yang Cheng used "Deceitful One" to devour her soul and gained her unique skill "Madman".

After doing all this, he casually tossed the already dead hope Xing aside like trash.

"That's wonderful, Lord Yangcheng, you're finally back."

Upon seeing Yang Cheng return and swiftly eliminate a troublesome human, the demons of the Demon Kingdom Federation were thoroughly excited.

The monsters of the Demon Kingdom Federation deeply admire and respect Rimuru, and therefore regard Rimuru's orders as inviolable law.

They had long been annoyed by these troublemakers.

However, due to Rimuru's orders, they could not attack these humans, so they had been enduring this in silence.

Compared to the Demon Kingdom Federation, which was excited and happy as if it had found its backbone, Shogo, Kyoya and the others who had gathered to cause trouble had a completely different mentality now that they saw Xixing being cleanly and decisively killed by Yang Cheng.

In particular, the adventurers and merchants who had been affected by Xixing's "madman" were instantly brought back to their senses by the loss of their abilities and the shock of death.

"Isn't it said that the monsters in this Demon Kingdom Federation are all friendly and won't harm humans indiscriminately?!"

Now it seems monsters really are all evil! My friend and I came to visit because we believed the rumors, and my friend was killed without doing anything!

"That's right, everyone, stop believing in these monsters! The idea that monsters and humans live in peace is utter nonsense!"

We can't just sit here and wait to die! Otherwise, no one will survive!

Although Xixing was the weakest in terms of actual combat ability among the trio, he was instantly killed, which was something that neither Shengwu nor Gongya expected.

When they were summoned to another world by Larsen of the Kingdom of Falmus, Shogo and his companions did test their own strength.

With their unique skills that grant blessings to people from other worlds in this world, almost no one in the Kingdom of Falmus is a match for them, except for a few strong individuals like Larsen.

Although hope Xing was weaker than them, neither Sheng Wu nor Gong Mi were confident that they could kill him instantly.

But the demon that has appeared now did it with ease.

This also suggests that the opponent's strength may be above theirs, and judging from the respectful attitude of the other monsters towards him, the opponent is clearly a BOSS-level figure.

Although Shogo and Kyoya are confident and arrogant, they are not entirely brainless.

We are currently in enemy territory, and our main force has not yet arrived. Engaging in a protracted battle with the enemy would undoubtedly be extremely disadvantageous.

Now we must continue to incite the crowd to buy time, or use these fools as shields, in order to have any chance of survival.

The disappearance of the "Madman's" ability made many adventurers present suddenly realize that their recent irritable and extreme emotions seemed to be influenced by mental magic.

The woman's death immediately dispelled this influence, which is enough to prove that the other party was behind it all.

Some adventurers and merchants, no longer wanting to be used as pawns, stepped forward to Yang Cheng and apologized for their previous actions.

However, some unscrupulous merchants, seeking personal gain, or some adventurers who were originally there to cause trouble, remained unrepentant and banded together with Shogo and Kyoya, wantonly provoking the Demon Kingdom Federation.

The provocative merchant thought himself clever, believing that since the Demon Kingdom Federation wanted to do business with humans, it wouldn't leave behind the infamy of killing human merchants.

Otherwise, where would any human merchants dare to trade here in the future?

As long as the other party is hesitant to act rashly, they can profit from this by lowering the prices of local specialties or reaping huge benefits in other ways.

However, these people had a very good plan, but they never expected that Yang Cheng was not Rimuru and would not play by the rules.

"Kill all the other guys except those adventurers and merchants who apologized earlier."

The merchants and adventurers who had expected the Demon Kingdom Federation to negotiate and compromise were all dumbfounded when they heard what Yang Cheng said.

Not to mention them, even Benimaru and the others from the Demon Kingdom Federation were stunned when they heard Yang Cheng's order.

They had expected Yang Cheng to expel or teach these humans a lesson, but they never imagined that Yang Cheng would actually plan to kill them all!

"Lord Yusei, if we do this, won't Lord Rimuru—"

"Don't worry about Rimuru's feelings. He said himself that I'll handle everything here."

And you don't naively think they're just causing trouble, do you?

The woman who just died, and the other two guys over there, were all summoners from another world.

"They are the heroes of the Kingdom of Falmus, and they've come here to subdue you. Their main force is already on its way. Do you still think we should show them mercy?"

Upon hearing Yang Cheng reveal their identities, Shogo and Kyoya practically turned and ran.

Once they realized what was happening, Shion and the others immediately put aside their concerns and began to slaughter the troublemakers!

"Wait, please wait! We are truly just merchants and know nothing of the Kingdom of Falmus's conspiracy!"

"Yes, we can surrender and buy a lot of your goods."

If you kill us, it will bring shame upon your nation, and no adventurers or merchants will dare to trade here in the future.

Hearing what the merchants said, Benimaru and Shion turned to look at Yangcheng.

"I think you've probably misunderstood something. Allowing you to trade here is not an act of charity on your part, but rather a blessing from us."

The Demon Kingdom Federation possesses equipment forging techniques and potion-making technology far surpassing those of human kingdoms, as well as various specialties found only in the Skywing Kingdom and the Beast Kingdom.

These things are rare and highly sought-after commodities in the human kingdom, so there's no worry about finding a market for them.

Merchants are profit-driven; as long as the profit is enough, they are not afraid to take risks. Therefore, your lives and promises are worthless in my eyes!
