Chapter 237 Breaking the Tower and Slaying the Python
As the Black Python General fled, its scales trembled incessantly. Having lost its primordial spirit, it harbored a deep-seated fear of the Demon-Slaying Sword in Shen Anzhi's hand. The golden light on the sword seemed capable of piercing through its demonic body and utterly crushing its soul.

"Stop chasing! Shen Anzhi!" The Black Python General roared as he fled, his voice filled with pleading, "Without me, how could you have achieved your current level of cultivation? I have ultimately done you a service!"

As Shen Anzhi rode on Tuantuan's back, the golden light of the Demon-Slaying Sword reflected in her icy gaze: "Merit? You just wanted to use me to unseal the Wind and Thunder Tower. You killed Kui Ran, Liu Yulin, Kang Qing, and Fan Jin, destroyed Jingdezhen, and now you've conspired with demon soldiers to massacre Qiang City. Can these blood debts be wiped out with a simple 'you've done something'?"

Shen Anzhi vaguely remembered the scene of General Black Python massacring Jingdezhen and destroying Sanqing Mountain because of her, the scene of killing her friend, the scene of her circumambulating the sacred mountain for redemption... she could not forget it.

As Shen Anzhi rode on Tuan Tuan's back, he looked at the trembling tenth-tier demon emperor Chi Tong in front of him, the golden light of the demon-slaying sword pressed against its throat, his tone full of mockery: "A dignified tenth-tier demon emperor, you may be a powerful figure in Sanqing Mountain, but in Bashu, you live like a little monster hiding in a ditch."

After speaking, Anzhi raised his hand and swept his surroundings. In the distance, the Xuanhu, the mount of the high priest of the ancient Shu Kingdom, was inspecting the battlefield, its royal mark on its forehead radiating the pressure of an ancient divine beast; the Qilin of the Rimai leader was wounded in the fierce battle, but still used its single horn to intimidate the demon soldiers; even Tuantuan beside him was able to withstand the attacks of the demon general with its Vajra Armor.

"You think a tenth-tier demon emperor is rare?" Shen Anzhi sneered: "The guardian spirit apes of the back mountain of Shu Mountain are tenth-tier, the old dragon at the bottom of the Jialing River is tenth-tier, and even half of the mounts of the Minyuan Immortal Alliance are descendants of ancient divine beasts."

General Black Python trembled, not daring to refute. Shen Anzhi's sword advanced another inch: "In Bashu, you want to be king and tyrant? First, see if you're qualified! Don't even mention you, even your superior, the Demon Lord, would have to consider how deep the waters are here!"

With that, Shen Anzhi raised his sword and activated "Spirit Wind Shadow Step Kill," instantly appearing beside the black python. Golden light grazed the python's scales, leaving a deep bloodstain.

The black python, in pain, fled desperately, and in its panic, it stumbled into a dilapidated tower. The tower was already in ruins, its body covered with cracks, and the wind and thunder patterns on its top were still faintly visible, much like the Wind and Thunder Tower that had once suppressed it.

The black python froze upon seeing the familiar patterns, then turned to Shen Anzhi and begged for mercy, "I was wrong! I'm willing to submit to you and help you fight against the Heavenly Demon, please spare my life!"

"Surrender?" Shen Anzhi sneered, "The friends you killed, the cities you ravaged, how can surrender make up for it? If you don't die, Heaven will not forgive you!" As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and formed a seal: "Ice Soul Demon Sealing Formation, activate!"

Eight ice pillars burst forth from the ground of the broken tower, and ice chains coiled around the black python's body, binding it firmly.

A ruthless glint flashed in the black python's eyes. It suddenly unleashed its demonic energy, attempting to break free of the ice chains: "Since you refuse to spare me, then let's perish together!" It transformed into a giant python tens of feet long, its tail sweeping towards Shen Anzhi with earth-shattering force.

"careful!"

Just as Shen Anzhi was about to manipulate the ice chains to reinforce the tower, Tuantuan suddenly exerted her strength, her four hooves nimbly maneuvering within the narrow confines of the tower, easily dodging the giant tail's attack. Shen Anzhi was astonished. Tuantuan used to walk with a swaying gait, like a lazy old man, but now she was not only incredibly fast, but her evasion was also remarkably agile. "What exactly did this girl experience on her trip?" Anzhi didn't have time to ponder this further; his demon-slaying sword was already fully charged with spiritual energy.

Tuantuan seemed to sense Shen Anzhi's intention, biting down hard on the black python's tail, its pale golden "diamond armor" resisting the python's struggles. The black python, restrained by Tuantuan, could only watch helplessly as Shen Anzhi leaped into the air, the golden light of the Demon-Slaying Sword illuminating the broken tower: "Splitting Light Demon-Slaying Sword!"

A golden ray pierced the black python's head like a meteor, and dark green demonic blood gushed out. The python's body convulsed within the ice chains, finally turning into a wisp of black smoke, which was completely absorbed by the Demon-Slaying Sword. As Shen Anzhi landed, tears finally streamed down her face. Kui Ran, Liu Yulin, Kang Qing, Fan Jin, Ke Dasheng, Luo Ling—she had finally avenged them!
"Tuanbao, let's go, let's support Yellow Spring Valley!" Shen Anzhi climbed onto Tuan Tuan's back. The runes on the Demon-Slaying Sword were burning hotter from absorbing demonic souls, as if urging them to continue fighting. Tuan Tuan was also bloodthirsty, its four hooves trampling over the remains of the black python, and it galloped wildly towards Yellow Spring Valley, even faster than it had come.

At this moment in the Valley of the Underworld, Rimai Yongga, riding his four-legged steed, was desperately blocking the passage for the demon soldiers alongside Zi Lingxuan and Monk Tongda. They had sealed the passage in advance, preventing the demon soldiers on the Qiang City battlefield from providing support. A large number of demon soldiers and orc corpses piled up at the valley entrance, almost completely blocking the passage.

"Sister Shen is back!" Rimai Yongga exclaimed excitedly when he saw the golden figure in the distance.

Shen Anzhi rode Tuantuan into the demon army's ranks, wielding her Demon-Slaying Sword and slaying several demonic beasts. She clearly felt the Demon-Slaying Sword emanating a strong bloodlust, its golden light flashing incessantly, as if it wanted to carry her deeper into the enemy ranks. Tuantuan was equally excited; its "Diamond Armor" shone brightly, its four hooves crushing the heads of demonic beasts and sending demonic soldiers attempting to break through flying.

"Master Tongda, use the Death-Slaying Sanskrit Chant!" Shen Anzhi shouted. The monk Tongda immediately understood, riding the white elephant and chanting scriptures. The golden Sanskrit chant caused the demonic beast to bleed from its seven orifices.

Zi Lingxuan rode her Emei Thorn, weaving through the demonic beasts, the thorn's silver light constantly reaping lives. Working together, they quickly cleared the demonic beasts from the outskirts of Yellow Spring Valley.

Just then, a loud explosion echoed through the valley, revealing Lingjizi locked in fierce combat with a demon lord. Shen Anzhi, riding Tuantuan, swiftly arrived to provide support. The Demon-Slaying Sword, in conjunction with Lingjizi's whisk, intertwined golden light and spiritual energy, ultimately slaying the demon lord.

With the Demon Lord falling to the ground, the entire area west of Qiang City was finally completely controlled by the Shu allied forces.

Daril, a barbarian general of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and Nugo, a high priest, volunteered to lead soldiers to guard the Valley of the Underworld.

Lingjizi stood at the valley entrance and began to give orders: "Rimai Yongga, Zilingxuan, Tongda Monk, Shen Anzhi... come with me back to Fangqiang City!"

Everyone echoed in agreement, but Shen Anzhi, gripping the Demon-Slaying Sword, gazed towards Qiang City, where the battle between Xu Changqing, the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, and the immortal leader of the Minyuan Immortal Alliance against the Heavenly Demon was reaching its most intense moment.

Tuantuan seemed to sense her worry and gently nuzzled her arm with its head. Shen Anzhi took a deep breath and climbed onto Tuantuan's back: "Let's go, support Qiangcheng." The figures of the man and the beast once again rushed towards the front line of the battlefield, the golden light of the Demon-Slaying Sword drawing a firm arc in the setting sun.
