I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 217 War begins

It turned out that the woman who had been sleeping in the carriage had woken up and, taking advantage of the man in brocade robes beside her not paying attention, secretly attacked the white horse pulling the carriage outside.

I thought the white horse was a horse demon in disguise, I never expected it to be an ordinary horse.

Is the Lion-Tiger Little Demon King really starting to think of himself as a human?

Ah!
Xiao Qi sneered and instructed Zhu Song, "Put invisibility talismans on you and Lotus, and wait here. I'm going down."

He had plenty of talismans, so he quickly did as instructed.

But we can't just wait around.
"Brother Meng, I want to go with you to save my sister."

Meng Qi took out four Thunderburst Beads, turned her head and looked at him with disdain, "Are you going to deliver yourself to someone else's death? Don't let your sister have to protect you when you can't save her."

Zhu Song choked up. Although what he said was correct, why did it sound so uncomfortable?

"Take out any magical treasures you have, and try your best not to let its guards discover your presence, otherwise I won't be able to save you."

I just confirmed that the man in brocade robes in the carriage is indeed the Lion-Tiger Little Demon King. Meng Qi is going to kill him, so there will definitely be a fierce battle later.

In order to protect herself and kill the enemy, she certainly wouldn't care about Zhu Song and his sister.

Life and death are in the hands of fate; it all depends on how they choose to extricate themselves.

As for the ancestor he mentioned who was so capable, he is nowhere to be found. How can we rely on him?

It's better to rely on yourself than on others.

The protective aura shield of the lotus-shaped flying vehicle opened, and Meng Qi disappeared in a flash.

Zhu Song was stunned for a moment, and then he heard four loud bangs from below. He quickly lay down next to the lotus-shaped aircraft and looked down.

Two plumes of smoke rose from each side of the overturned carriage, and four shadows sprang up from the smoke. One of them even revealed its true form: a huge black bear.

Yuan. Yuan Ying!

Zhu Song was shocked to discover that all four demons that Meng Xiong had blasted out were at the Nascent Soul stage.

Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Even if Brother Meng is an absolute genius, how could a Golden Core cultivator possibly defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Moreover, there are four of them.

No, there were five, but the one who was pretending to be the driver was being entangled by his cousin.

Zhu Song was surprised to find that his second cousin, whom he hadn't seen for a month and a half, had actually broken through from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Did she encounter an opportunity during her trials?

Bah, bah, bah! I was almost captured by the lion and tiger demons and taken to the demon realm. What kind of opportunity is that?
Logically speaking, even if his cousin was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, she wouldn't be a match for a Nascent Soul cultivator. But what could he do? She was a member of the Zhu family.

She had many life-saving items on her. Just now, Zhu Song watched as she took out the Nascent Soul Strike that her grandfather had given her, which caused the coachman to reveal his true form: a five-tailed Netherworld Black Cat.

Perhaps these demons were too arrogant, because they didn't take the storage ring from his cousin's hand when they captured her.

They probably thought that no matter what, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like her couldn't escape their grasp.

Nonsense! His second cousin's talent was recognized by the ancestor, and she even possessed the ancestor's Nascent Soul strike.

Of course, his cousin definitely wouldn't use it until the very last moment.

Zhu Song observed that although his cousin's breathing was somewhat unstable and her complexion was not good, she was still able to protect herself by using her magical artifact. It was actually Meng Xiong who...
Zhu Song was astonished to discover that Meng, who was two years younger than him, had briefly tripped up the four guards with a tree branch before ruthlessly attacking the Lion-Tiger Demon King. "To catch the thief, first catch the king"—Meng truly is a genius with exceptional talent.

Brave and loyal!
In order to prevent Meng Qi from being attacked from both sides, Zhu Song quickly took out his own Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator's attack and hurled it at the black bear that had revealed its true form.

With a loud bang, a beam of light pierced through the chest of the black bear, which had no time to dodge, leaving a hole the size of an adult's fist.

The black bear looked down at its chest in disbelief, and three seconds later, its massive body crashed to the ground.

Having succeeded in his attack, Zhusong quickly instructed Lianhua to move to another location.

This unexpected turn of events stunned the other four guards and even the Lion and Tiger Demon King. Xiao Qi, however, ignored the big black bear, seized the opportunity, and with a powerful slash, broke through the Demon King's defenses and successfully severed one of its arms.

"Roar!"

The little demon king roared in anger. It had actually been injured by a human brat, which was a disgrace to its demonic life. It was going to tear her apart!

Upon hearing the roar, the four guards, including the Netherworld Cat Demon who was fighting with Cousin Zhu Song, all surrounded and rushed towards Xiao Qi.

"Seize her, alive! I want her alive!"

But Xiao Qi vanished in a flash, followed by a deluge of leaves and branches lashing out at the five demons.

Zhu Li, Zhu Song's second cousin, saw that the five demons had gathered together. Seizing the opportunity, she endured the pain all over her body and threw out the last life-saving talisman she had, the one given to her by the Ancestor as a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Oh no! Protect the young prince!"

boom!
With a deafening roar, two of the four demons blocking the Lion-Tiger Demon King fell, and the remaining Black Wolf Demon revealed its true form. The Nether Cat was unharmed, but it still had four of its five tails remaining, meaning it had just lost one of its lives.

After unleashing this move, Zhu Li collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Xiao Qi appeared in front of her, holding a knife. All the leaves within her sight surrounded the three demons opposite her, but before they could attack, they were swept away by the Nether Cat's tail.

It stared at Xiao Qi with a gloomy expression, "I really underestimated you. A few little brats actually managed to beat us so badly. Old Wolf, tear them apart."

The Lion-Tiger Demon King said angrily, "I said I wanted to capture them alive and tear them apart piece by piece myself. Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?"

A flicker of annoyance and contempt flashed in the Ghost Cat's eyes as it said indifferently, "I heard you, Old Wolf. We'll each take one and capture them alive."

Black Wolf looked up at the sky, pinpointing a spot precisely, and said in a deep voice, "There's another one attacking from above, Your Highness. You're in charge."

The Lion-Tiger Demon King complained, "Didn't you see I'm injured? Dark Cat, why don't you just send a clone to deal with this?"

Doppelgänger?

I've already lost two lives in just a short time. The one above doesn't seem to have much cultivation, but if he were to strike again from a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivator, wouldn't I lose another life?

The Nether Cat's cultivation level was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and Zhu Li had already taken its life when he launched a sneak attack.

It refused, saying, "Young Prince, I have already lost two lives. Sending out clones would weaken my fighting power."

Hearing it say that its fighting power was weakened, the little lion-tiger demon king did not insist, but he was still not satisfied. He felt that the guards his father had sent back to him were really useless.

The ones that the Empress Dowager assigned to it before were better; they all watched it grow up, but unfortunately, they all died.

Just as the three of them were staring at each other and talking, a thin layer of mist beneath their feet slowly thickened, then rose upwards until it reached their waists, eventually swallowing Zhu Li, who was sitting on the ground opposite them. Only then did the three demons realize that something was wrong.
