Lucky Son in Law

Chapter 7: Eye-Collecting

The village was on fire, and the screams of the dying echoed through the night. Many people had already perished in the flames, and their charred corpses lay scattered throughout the streets.

But amidst the chaos, there was one man who seemed to be enjoying himself. He was a man in his thirties, with cold, dead eyes and a cruel smile on his face.

This man was known as the Eye-Collecting Demon, and he was feared throughout the land. His attacks were vicious and unpredictable, and he seemed to take pleasure in causing pain and suffering.

"Please, have mercy!" a woman cried out as she ran past him, clutching her child to her chest.

The Eye-Collecting Demon just laughed. "Mercy? I have none for the likes of you."

As the villagers tried to fight back, the Eye-Collecting Demon moved through them like a shadow. His blade flashed in the firelight, and with each strike, another villager was blinded.

"Aaaargh! My eyes! My eyes!" a man screamed as he clutched his face, blood streaming between his fingers.

The Eye-Collecting Demon just chuckled. "Such a beautiful sound. I could listen to it all day."

The men of the village fought desperately, but they were no match for the Eye-Collecting Demon. He was too fast, too strong, and too cruel.

"We have to get out of here!" a woman shouted as she grabbed her children and ran.

But there was no escape. The Eye-Collecting Demon was everywhere, and he seemed to take pleasure in their fear.

As the night wore on, the villagers began to fall one by one. The Eye-Collecting Demon continued to collect his grisly trophies, and the streets ran red with blood.

"Please, stop! I'll do anything you want!" a man begged as he cowered on the ground.

But the Eye-Collecting Demon just laughed. "Anything? How about your eyes?"

With a swift strike, he plunged his blade into the man's eyes, and the man screamed in agony.

In the end, only a few villagers remained. They were cornered, and they knew that they were going to die. But they refused to give up without a fight.

With a roar, they charged at the Eye-Collecting Demon, their weapons raised. But it was no use. He was too strong, and he cut them down without mercy.

As the last villager fell, the Eye-Collecting Demon stood over their bodies, his blade dripping with blood. He looked around at the destruction he had caused, and he smiled.

"Ah, what a beautiful sight. I could get used to this."

For the Eye-Collecting Demon, this was just another day in the life of a killer. And he knew that there would be many more villages to come.

Meanwhile, not far from the village, a group of White Lotus Sect disciples saw a plume of smoke rising into the sky. The disciples were led by Ugar, one of the sect's outer disciples who was quite powerful as well.

"Quickly, we must investigate!" Ugar shouted, and the disciples rushed towards the village.

When they arrived, they were met with a horrifying sight. The village was in ruins, and there were corpses everywhere. Many of them had their eyes destroyed, and the sight was heartbreaking.

"This is the work of the Eye-Collecting Demon," Ugar muttered, his face dark with anger. "He has made a name for himself as one of the most vicious demon cultivators in the land."

Ugar ordered some of his men to bury the villagers, while he searched for clues. He knew that the Eye-Collecting Demon would not have left without a trace.

But as Ugar searched the village, he found nothing. There were no footprints, no signs of struggle, and no clues as to where the Eye-Collecting Demon had gone.

"Damn it," Ugar cursed. "He's too clever. We'll have to keep searching."

But as the disciples continued their search, they found nothing. The Eye-Collecting Demon had vanished without a trace, leaving only death and destruction in his wake.

Ugar continued to search the village, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching him. Suddenly, he sensed a presence behind a nearby tree. Without hesitation, Ugar fired a long-range punch at the tree, and it fell to the ground.

From the fallen tree emerged the laughing Eye-Collecting Demon. The evil man mocked the White Lotus sect when he found out Ugar was wearing clothes from the White Lotus sect.

"Ha! The White Lotus sect is nothing but a bunch of weaklings," the Eye-Collecting Demon sneered. "I've heard that your sect is looking for me. Do you think you can stop me?"

Ugar was wary, but he knew that he couldn't back down. He signaled to one of his outer disciples, and they charged at the Eye-Collecting Demon together.

But with just a flick of a finger to the man's forehead, the demon sent the disciple flying backwards, and he almost fainted. Ugar knew that he was dealing with a powerful opponent.

"Who is the strongest in the White Lotus sect?" the Eye-Collecting Demon asked, his voice dripping with malice. "I want to face them and see if they are truly worthy of my time."

Ugar gritted his teeth. He knew that he couldn't reveal the identity of the strongest disciple in the sect, but he also knew that he couldn't let the Eye-Collecting Demon continue his rampage.

"I am one of the strongest disciples in the White Lotus sect," Ugar declared, his voice steady. "And I will not let you harm anyone else."

Ugar was definitely not the strongest, this guy was just trying to temporarily lure the evil demon away.

The Eye-Collecting Demon laughed. "Very well, then. Let's see if you're strong enough to stop me."

The fight between the White Lotus sect disciples and the Eye-Collecting Demon was a brutal one. Despite being outnumbered ten to one, the demon was superior and untouchable. He moved with lightning speed and struck with deadly precision, easily knocking out several disciples and causing some to vomit blood.

Ugar fought with all his might, but he was no match for the demon. He was overwhelmed and ridiculed as it seemed that he was not the strongest disciple in the White Lotus sect. The demon hit Ugar with a powerful blow, sending him flying over two hundred meters.

As Ugar lay on the ground, dazed and injured, he knew that he couldn't fight the demon alone. He quickly lit a flare to signal for help, hoping that reinforcements would arrive soon.

The Eye-Collecting Demon watched with a smirk as Ugar signaled for help. "It's not time for me to completely annihilate the White Lotus sect yet," he said. "But I will definitely destroy your sect soon. You are all weak and pathetic."

With that, the demon jumped onto the rooftop and moved quickly, disappearing from sight. The remaining disciples looked on in shock and horror, knowing that they had just faced a formidable enemy.

Ugar knew that they would need to regroup and come up with a new strategy if they wanted to defeat the Eye-Collecting Demon. He also knew that they would need to inform the higher-ups in the White Lotus sect about the demon's threat.
