Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 15 Too scary
Yujing Peak
The disciples had already subdued Blue Cat with their sword formation when Ke Dasheng arrived quickly with his men.

As the blue cat struggled to break free of the sword formation, it grew enormous. Four phantoms, representing its remaining four lives, appeared intermittently, emitting deafening cries, and its fur was so blue it was dazzling.

Ke Dasheng slowly drew the Jade Void Sword, and flames began to spread across the entire blade.

The Jade Void Sword is formed from Jade Void Peak. It is seven feet long, belongs to the element of fire, and is red in color. It is used to slay demons with its fierce flames and is suitable for demon hunters of six coins or more.

"Heavenly Thunder." Ke Dasheng concentrated his energy, using his spiritual power to intensify the fire of the Jade Void Sword, and then swiftly slashed it down.

Heavenly Thunder is the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique of Sanqing Mountain. With focused concentration and power, it unleashes a single sword strike, slashing out with three streaks of light.

Crackling...

The three beams of light struck the cat demon directly, instantly engulfing it in flames, its fur crackling and burning.

The cat demon struggled with all its might to break free, and some of the disciples who controlled the sword formation vomited blood on the spot due to exhaustion of their spiritual power.

Anzhi, who had been hiding behind the big tree, was stunned. He hadn't expected that the Jade Void Sword among the Three Heroes was so powerful. When he thought that his Jade Flower Sword was just an ordinary sword, he decided to take it out and try it out as well.

The cat demon Luo Ling struggled fiercely, so he immediately lashed out with his long whip and began to lash the cat demon endlessly...

The sound of the whip was like an ancient war drum, terrifying the monsters.

clap clap clap...

clap clap clap...

As Luo Ling and her fellow disciples relentlessly attacked, the cat demon slowly crumbled within the sword formation.

In order to subdue it as soon as possible, lest things get complicated, Kodak immediately brought out the Jade Void Buddha Dust.

The Jade Void Buddha Dust is the magic weapon of the first patriarch, Meng Hong, the Ten-Coin Demon Slayer. Passed down to this day, it is incredibly powerful. Not only can it bind any demon, but when the Buddha Dust strikes its body, it also has the effect of making the demon unable to live or die.

Kodak made a hand seal, and the Buddha whisk instantly floated in front of him, his whole body shimmering with golden light.

Ke Dasheng slowly took it down with his hands, then leaped up and began to strike in coordination with Luo Ling's long whip.

And so, the cat demon never expected that he would be beaten so badly by the long whip and the Buddha's whisk, as if he were being whipped to death.

With each lash, a fiery crack would appear on the cat demon's body.

The exhilarating feeling of being unable to live or die gradually weakened it, and it obediently lay down in the sword formation.

In the very end, he died, and two demon seals appeared in the sword formation.

Ke Dasheng and Luo Ling were also panting heavily, having exhausted most of their spiritual energy, and would probably need to rest for a few more days.

The disciples withdrew their sword formation and slowly stepped forward to check the situation, with An Zhi following quietly behind.

"Meow……"

Suddenly, a cat's meow came from behind them, making them all turn around.

"Oh no, it has four more lives." No sooner had Kodakson finished speaking than a brand new cat demon appeared.

"Form a battle formation!" Luo Ling shouted upon seeing this.

Seeing this, Anzhi quickly hid behind a large rock.

Setting up the formation! It's not that easy. The sword formation has been dispelled, and it will take time to set it up again.

The cat demon seized the opportunity and immediately launched an attack. The two disciples were killed on the spot, turning into a pile of bones.

Even more terrifying was that junior sister Li Tongyu was injured by the cat demon. Since Li Tongyu was a new disciple who passed the assessment this year, her spiritual power was insufficient, and she was immediately unable to withstand such strong demon poison. Soon, hair began to grow on her face.

"Senior sister, save me, save me, save me!" Li Tongyu cried out in pain, stretching out her hand, which had turned into claws.

Seeing Li Tongyu's pained expression, Luo Ling immediately lashed out with her whip without saying a word. Li Tongyu collapsed on the spot, falling directly behind the rock where An Zhi was hiding, which frightened An Zhi so much that he immediately curled up on the ground.

Without the constraints of the sword formation, the agile cat demon had a wider range of movement. Although Ke Dasheng was blessed with the Jade Void Buddha Dust, its accuracy was greatly reduced when facing the agile cat demon, and it missed seven out of ten times.

Faced with such a low hit rate, Ke Dasheng knew that once everyone's spiritual power was exhausted, they would all become the cat demon's meal. Therefore, he ordered Luo Ling to quickly organize the disciples to set up a sword formation, while he used the Jade Void Buddha Dust to hold off the cat demon.

Having just lost one life in the sword formation, and with four lives remaining, how could the cat demon fall for their trap? In the end, the demon cat escaped from Jade Capital Peak...

"I, I'll tell you, Li Tongyu was corrupted by the demonic poison back then."

"That woman is too vicious; she killed Li Tongyu without saying a word."

"At that time, at that time, I really wanted to help them, but..."

Inside the house at Sanqing Blessed Land, Anzhi recounted the day's events to the spirit snake. It was the first time she had witnessed such a vast world, and the memory remained vivid, still terrifying to her.

"And then what?" the spirit snake asked.

"After that!" Anzhi calmed down and continued, "After that, Senior Brother led everyone to search separately, and that was the end of it."

After pondering for a while, the serpent said, "A good opportunity, a good opportunity."

"What a great opportunity! Even our senior brother couldn't handle this. It's a good opportunity." Anzhi was starting to have second thoughts, after all, this was the first time he had seen such a powerful demon: "Let's start by slowly advancing from the demon spirit level."

"What are you talking about? This cat has four lives. If you kill it, you'll get eight monster seals, and you can directly advance to a five-coin demon hunter. You can't miss this opportunity." The spirit snake was excited just thinking about it.

An Zhi said dejectedly, "I can't win."

“I have a plan.” After saying that, the spirit snake crawled to the window and looked into the courtyard: “Quick, it’s getting dark, and the old man hasn’t come back yet. Come with me, I’ll take you to get a magic weapon to kill him.”

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Anzhi followed the spirit snake out of the Sanqing Blessed Land.

Anzhi didn't know how long he walked, but after passing through dense forests, crossing streams, and cemeteries, he arrived at an unnamed Taoist temple in Sanqing Mountain.

The Taoist temple was dilapidated, with only the roof beams remaining. The three characters "Yu Ling Guan" on the gate plaque were barely visible, but had been corroded by moss.

"Snake Treasure, where is this? It's pitch black." Anzhi felt a chill run down his spine just listening to the wind emanating from inside the Taoist temple.

The serpent led Anzhi to a mound of earth overgrown with weeds.

“Open it up, and you’ll find a magical artifact inside—a demon-binding rope,” the spirit snake said confidently.

"How did you know?" Anzhi couldn't believe that there was treasure under this mound, but he would definitely listen to the spirit snake. He immediately began to dig up the mound using various methods.

"what!"

Suddenly, when Anzhi was halfway through digging, she found a skull, which startled her so much that she immediately threw it away.

Before Anzhi could react, the spirit snake had already spotted the demon-binding rope.

Anzhi, realizing what was happening, pulled the rope out of the soil and examined it closely, but found nothing special about it.

"You... this thing can bind a demon?" Anzhi couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, don't underestimate this rope. It's an absolute godsend for dealing with cat demons." The spirit snake jumped onto the small mound and said, "No one in the world can match a cat's agility. It's very difficult to kill a cat without binding it."

Listening to the serpent's fantastical words, Anzhi unfolded the demon-binding rope and muttered, "Serpent, this rope looks no different from a hanging rope. There's nothing special about it. Are you sure?"

Seeing that An Zhi did not believe it, the spirit snake immediately began to tell the story of the demon-binding rope: "Seventy years ago, a demon hunter from Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan traveled to Sanqing Mountain and encountered the Demon Lord at Yuling Temple. As a result, he was killed, and this treasure was left here."

"Mount Qingcheng?" Anzhi had never heard of this mountain.

“Oh dear, it’s just a faction from the Sichuan Basin. The Sichuan Basin is the best place for cultivators and demon hunters to cultivate.” The spirit snake felt that An Zhi had led it astray, so it changed the subject and said, “We have to find the cat demon before them.”

Anzhi picked up the demon-binding rope and was about to leave, but when he saw the skull he had thrown into the ditch in the moonlight, he felt a little guilty and went back to pick it up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I used too much force just now."

Anzhibala took the mud off the skull, went to the mound, and buried the skull in the mound again.

"Brother, thank you for the demon-binding rope." Anzhi bowed and then turned to follow the spirit snake into the depths of the forest.

The mist lingered in the woods, swirling up like a ghost, seeming to shroud the entire forest in a mysterious atmosphere.

Every creature in the forest exudes an eerie aura, making one feel an irresistible sense of fear.
