Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 99 Kang Qing is Gone
People often only understand this after experiencing certain things.

Shen Anzhi is going through this process.
"Think about it, even Master Yuxu would have a hard time encountering a demon at the level of a demon lord..."

"Stop talking,"

Beside the workshop at the ancient kiln site, Shen Anzhi stood atop the ancient kiln, his figure appearing exceptionally lonely.

She gripped the sword tightly, her eyes filled with regret and desolation.

Because of her own actions, she put innocent people in danger.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting her hair. She recalled herself a few months ago, when, under the guidance of the spirit snake and encouraged by Meng Hong, she roamed the world with her sword, fearless in the pursuit of justice.

Now, however, she is deeply remorseful for her mistakes.

She stood atop the ancient kiln, gazing into the distance. Where once vibrant Jingdezhen lay, now ravaged by monsters, lay in ruins. She knew that all of this was inextricably linked to her mistakes.

Fan Jin is dead, Ke Da is dead, Luo Ling is dead, the spirit snake has deceived itself, and Meng Hong is elusive again. Shen Anzhi suddenly felt that the world had become silent, and her figure seemed so small and helpless.

Faced with Shen Anzhi's silence, Kang Qing slowly stepped forward and said, "You should leave quickly, there's a fire demon following you."

Follow the demon!
Shen Anzhi turned to look at Kang Qing with a furrowed brow. She was puzzled as to why she could no longer sense any demons.
"It remained hidden the whole time, following you from outside the gate all the way here."

As Kang Qing finished speaking, her gaze turned to the kiln entrance of the ancient kiln.

If you can't sense it, you can force it out. Shen Anzhi gathered his energy in both palms and immediately struck the kiln opening with a palm strike: "Palm Thunder".

bump……

The lightning struck the kiln opening, instantly igniting the hidden fire demon, and the raging flames illuminated the ancient kiln ruins.

The fire demon is a raging flame, its form constantly shifting, sometimes transforming into a giant fireball, sometimes into a ferocious fire beast. Its body radiates intense heat, distorting the surrounding air.

The battle began, with the fire demon launching the first attack. It suddenly spewed out a massive pillar of fire, sweeping towards the demon hunter. Shen Anzhi swiftly dodged to the side, simultaneously slashing at the pillar of fire with his sword. The sword collided with the flames, producing a deafening roar and sending sparks flying.

To Shen Anzhi's surprise, the sword was melted and changed shape the moment it came into contact with the fire demon.

Seeing that Shen Anzhi had no weapon, the fire demon used flames as its weapon and continued to fight back.

It would sometimes spew out fireballs, and sometimes transform into fire snakes, engaging in fierce battles with Shen Anzhi.

Faced with the fire demon, Shen Anzhi could only dodge, to the point that his clothes were set ablaze by the demon.

Faced with the annoying fire demon, Shen Anzhi immediately drew the demon-binding rope from his waist...

"don't want,"

Before Kang Qing could even shout it out, Shen Anzhi threw out the demon-binding rope.
As a result, the demon-binding rope was burned alive by the fire and turned into a pile of ashes.

The only powerful magical artifact was gone just like that, and Shen Anzhi was so angry that he almost committed suicide on the spot.

"She's fire, why did you throw the rope at her?"

Kang Qing also couldn't understand Shen Anzhi's actions, only attributing it to desperate measures when one is ill.

They couldn't win in a fight, so Shen Anzhi grabbed Kang Qing and ran outside.

"what!"

Just as the two demons walked out of the ancient kiln ruins, a raging fire rushed towards Shen Anzhi from behind.

Seeing this, Kang Qing pushed Shen Anzhi out of the barrier gate, but was hit hard by the fireball himself. Shen Anzhi, realizing what was happening, quickly dragged Kang Qing into the barrier.

At this point, Kang Qing was severely burned; half of her hair was gone, and half of her face was unrecognizable.

"Kang Qing, Kang Qing," Shen Anzhi hugged her tightly, his heart filled with regret.

With tears in his eyes, Kang Qing said, "Shen Anzhi, I hate you. From the very beginning, we didn't like you. What about following the righteous path? This world belongs to all things. Why do you have to drive us to extinction?"

Kang Qing was in great pain. He hadn't even seen Kui Ran yet, and he was already seriously injured. He was afraid he would never see Kui Ran again.

"Under Liu Yulin's leadership, we five sisters worked tirelessly for the Jingdezhen porcelain industry. It's because of your arrival that Jingdezhen has become what it is today." With that, Kang Qing cried out in anguish, "Shen Anzhi..."

Pain and self-blame were intertwined in Shen Anzhi's eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he held them back from falling.

This scene is all too familiar. When she killed Liu Yulin at the Porcelain Palace, Ding Tianfeng held Liu Yulin in his arms in the same way.

Kang Qing said with heartache, "I only found out later that my sister and I could have escaped your clutches. We had all planned to go to the Vajra Cave, but because Sister Liu captured your spirit snake that night, the spirit snake ordered her to grant your wish. Otherwise, the entire Jingdezhen would be destroyed. You... cough cough cough cough cough cough."

Things are often hard to recall, but Shen Anzhi remembered that the spirit snake disappeared that night...

"You have to hold on, Kui Ran is still waiting for you." Shen Anzhi gently stroked Kang Qing's face, his movements incredibly tender, as if afraid of causing him any more pain.

"Kui, Kui Ran..." Kang Qing closed her eyes tightly, her heart filled with resentment.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so stubborn, you wouldn't have suffered this calamity, and none of us would have ended up like this." Shen Anzhi's voice trembled, filled with remorse.

suddenly,

A faint smile appeared on Kang Qing's face, who was in immense pain. Her mind was filled with the brief but beautiful time she had spent with Kui Ran.

Kui Ran saved them from Shen Anzhi's sword;

The two spent several shameless days together in the Peach Blossom Spring for the first time;

Together we made porcelain in a porcelain workshop...

"Anzhi, don't hurt them. If their bodies are damaged, even if the demon spirits are destroyed, their souls will never return. You must not hurt your brother-in-law." Kang Qing's voice carried a trace of strength.

"Kang Qing, hang in there." Shen Anzhi collapsed to the ground in despair. She wanted to save Kang Qing, but she was powerless to do so.

Kang Qing took out the Celestial Phenomenon Pendant and placed it in Shen Anzhi's palm: "Help me take this to Kui Ran, and I will tell him that I love him."

Since Shen Anzhi had already destroyed all of Kang Qing's demonic spirits, she was now completely a spirit pet, powerless against any attack. Ultimately, due to severe burns, Kang Qing turned into a blue-and-white porcelain.

The once lively and energetic Kang Qing has now been transformed into a cold and fragile porcelain.

The porcelain emitted an eerie luster, as if telling a tragic story similar to Liu Yulin's.

Shen Anzhi's eyes were filled with pain and self-blame; she hated herself for not being able to stop it all from happening.

She reached out her slightly trembling hand and gently touched Kang Qing's face on the porcelain.

That familiar outline, yet I can no longer feel any warmth from it.

Tears silently slid down Shen Anzhi's cheeks, dripping onto the porcelain and splashing up tiny water droplets.
