Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 233 Go all out
The crimson mist in the Valley of the Dead appeared even more eerie under the morning light. The six-legged beast lay sprawled on the ground, its broken leg wound still oozing blood despite being treated with herbs.

Shen Anzhi squatted beside it, gently stroking its mane with her fingertips, her eyes filled with guilt. If she hadn't insisted on killing the black python, Congcong wouldn't have ended up like this. She touched her storage ring; the bamboo worm pill was long gone. Now, even her trump card for reviving the dead was gone. Facing the restless demonic beasts on the outskirts of the valley, she dared not take any more risks.

“Miss Shen, don’t blame yourself too much. Congcong was protecting you voluntarily.” Rimai Yongga walked over and patted her shoulder. He looked at the demon soldiers gathering outside the valley, the blood scabs on his silver armor gleaming coldly in the morning light: “What we need to do now is to guard Yellow Spring Valley and prevent the demon soldiers from reinforcing the Go people of Qiang City through here.”

Just then, a black wind swept in, and the Black Python General hovered in mid-air, the demonic blood on his scales still wet. His tone was mocking: "Rimai Yongga, Shen Anzhi, stop struggling. Qiang City has fallen, and the Demon Realm army will soon launch a full-scale attack. When that happens, they will take the Divine Mountain, destroy Emei, and ruin Shu Mountain. You cultivators will be nothing but lambs to the slaughter!"

He brandished the bone staff in his hand and continued to persuade them to surrender: "As long as you surrender and submit to the Demon Realm, I can plead with the Heavenly Demon to spare your lives and even let you enjoy endless power."

Shen Anzhi abruptly looked up towards Qiang City, where the sky was ablaze with flames, and thick smoke billowed into the heavens. She could almost hear the cries of the people. Tears instantly blurred her vision. She gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword tightly, the runes on its blade flashing violently with her rage: "Qiang City... Impossible!"

"Don't even think about it!" Rimai Yongga retorted sharply, his silver spear pointing directly at General Black Python: "We Qiang people only have warriors who fight to the death, not cowards who surrender! Even if Qiang City falls, we will stay here and use the blood of the demon soldiers to avenge our people!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Congcong suddenly let out a clear cry. It used its remaining four legs to support its body and took the initiative to approach Rimai Yongga. Rimai Yongga flipped over and leaped onto its back, brandishing its silver spear: "Kill!" Congcong exerted its strength on all four legs and rushed out of Huangquan Valley like a bolt of lightning, heading towards the demon army camp.

Shen Anzhi felt a strong bloodlust emanating from the Demon-Slaying Sword in her hand. The scene of Kui Ran's death and the displacement of the people of Bashu flashed through her mind. "Avenge Kui Ran! Avenge the people of Bashu!" she roared, wielding the Demon-Slaying Sword, and charged out.

The battle erupted instantly. Shen Anzhi was the first to unleash the "Spirit Wind Shadow Step Kill," her figure flashing among the demon soldiers like a ghost. Each flash was accompanied by a golden light, and the demon soldier's head fell to the ground, splattering her dark green demon blood all over her black robe.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly formed hand seals: "Ice Soul Sealing Demon Formation, activate!"

Eight towering ice pillars burst forth from the ground, their shafts bound by transparent ice chains that firmly imprisoned dozens of demonic soldiers. The runes on the ice chains spun continuously, transforming into sharp ice spikes that pierced the demonic soldiers' bodies, eliciting screams of agony. The corpses of the demonic soldiers piled up like mountains between the ice pillars.

Before the demon soldiers could react, Shen Anzhi poured all his spiritual power into the Demon-Slaying Sword: "Split Light Demon-Slaying Sword!"

She leaped into the air, the Demon-Slaying Sword drawing a massive arc in her hand, sending dozens of golden rays shooting like meteors towards the surrounding demonic soldiers. Wherever the golden rays touched, the demonic soldiers fell to the ground, their bodies turning to ashes in the golden light, even their souls being absorbed by the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Having used three skills in succession, Shen Anzhi's spiritual energy was greatly depleted. Looking at the wounded soldiers around her, she immediately activated "Phantom Eight Trigrams." Pale blue eight-trigram array patterns unfolded on the ground, and gentle spiritual energy emanated from the array, enveloping the wounded soldiers. The soldiers' wounds healed at a visible speed, and their exhausted bodies were replenished with strength. Rimai Yongga, riding Congcong, rampaged through the demon soldier formation. His silver spear moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, each thrust claiming the life of a demon soldier. Although Congcong only had four legs, it was still agile, its four paws trampling over the corpses of demon soldiers, crushing any attempting sneak attacks into a bloody pulp.

"Desperate Assault!" Rimai Yongga roared, his silver spear flashing as it pierced the chest of a Goren leader.

Zi Lingxuan, wielding her Emei dagger, moved like a blur of light through the ranks of demon soldiers. The dagger gleamed silver in her hand; when she activated her skill "Emei Dagger Flowing Light," the dagger's tip transformed into several silver threads, simultaneously piercing the throats of several demon soldiers. Her movements were light and graceful, like a butterfly in flight, yet each movement carried a deadly intent.

The monk Tongda rode a white elephant, his hands clasped together, chanting the scripture: "The life-snatching Brahma sound!"

Golden chants emanated from his mouth, like invisible blades flying towards the demon soldiers. Upon hearing the chants, the demon soldiers screamed in agony, clutching their heads, and died bleeding from their seven orifices. The staff and prayer beads in his hand also shone with golden light. With a swing of the staff, he smashed a giant python demon soldier into a bloody pulp. The prayer beads he threw out transformed into golden chains, binding the demon soldier firmly.

Xuanfeng Yichen of Qingcheng Mountain rode a crane, took out several talismans from his robes, and chanted an incantation: "Heavenly Profound Talisman, Resurrect!"

The talismans transformed into golden specks of light, landing on the fallen Qiang warriors. Their bodies gradually rose to the surface, their wounds healed, and their fighting spirit rekindled. They picked up their weapons and returned to battle.

"Kill!" the resurrected warriors roared, fighting alongside their surviving comrades.

The high priestess of the ancient Shu Kingdom rode a tiger, her staff glowing green. She activated the skill "Slowness of the Void," enveloping a large swarm of demonic soldiers in green light. The demonic soldiers' movements instantly slowed, as if their speed had been reduced, making it difficult even to lift their weapons. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the tiger launched an attack, tearing several demonic soldiers to shreds with a single swipe of its giant claws.

The Heavenly Goddess Cai Xiaodie rode a dragon horse, her long whip flashing out like a venomous snake as it struck the demonic soldiers. She summoned the dragon horse's power, activating the skill "Dragon Horse Treading Clouds." The dragon horse's four hooves rose on auspicious clouds, carrying her into the air. The long whip drew golden arcs in the air, shattering the demonic soldiers one by one.

The cultivators and soldiers worked together, each using their best skills, and engaged in a fierce battle in the Yellow Spring Valley. Although the demon soldiers and warriors were numerous, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position under the combined attack of everyone.

Looking at his comrades fighting side by side, and feeling the power transmitted from the Demon-Slaying Sword, Shen Anzhi was filled with determination. Even without the Bamboo Insect Pill, even if Qiang City had fallen, they would stay here and defend the last line of defense in Bashu!
