Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 13 Demon
The night was as dark as water. There were fewer and fewer people on the road. A chill spread, and the mount under Li Hongyi seemed a little restless.

Pulling the reins tight, Li Hongyi looked alert, glanced at Li Fan in front of him, and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you feel a gloomy aura?"

The streets were too quiet, and she felt chilly and uneasy as the cold wind blew into her body.

"Miss Li, do you want to go back first?" Li Fan turned around and advised. The night in Lin'an City was not only filled with gloomy energy, but also with demonic energy.

Li Hongyi glared at Li Fan, then turned away and ignored him.

Persuade her to leave again?

Seeing Li Hongyi's eyes, Li Fan didn't say anything. This Li Hongyi did have some personality, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

If it was Huang Yan, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.

A cold wind blew on the street, bringing with it a biting chill. Li Fan looked in the direction where the wind came from, and saw a figure in white appear in the street.

"Ghost cultivator." Li Hongyi rode his horse to Li Fan's side and tightly grasped the spear in his hand.

A chilly wind blew, and a figure in white looked like a ghost. It glanced at Li Fan from a distance, and then floated in another direction, as if just warning them.

"Ghosts can feed on human yang energy to cultivate, but this female ghost doesn't seem to have any malicious intent."

The horse under Li Hongyi seemed a little restless. She tightened the reins, feeling a little strange.

Could it be that the female ghost knew that they were practitioners?
Li Fan didn't say anything. It seemed that the female ghost was just trying to scare them.

He looked up at the gloomy night sky, jumped, and landed on top of the house for a better view.

"Demons and ghosts can eat humans to practice cultivation. This is dangerous." Li Hongyi reminded. Although she knew that Li Fan was very powerful, she felt uneasy about Lin'an City under the cover of night. She didn't know what dangers were lurking there.

"Miss Li, you'd better go back earlier." Li Fan said to Li Hongyi, and then ran forward on the house.

Li Hongyi bit her red lips as she looked at Li Fan's back. She wanted to ride a horse to catch up with him, but the horse under her crotch did not dare to move forward. Li Hongyi jumped up, stepped on the horse's back and flew into the air. She also landed on the house and caught up with Li Fan in front of her.

Li Fan turned around when he heard the noise behind him. Just as he was about to speak, Li Hongyi interrupted him and said, "Shut up!"

Li Fan: "..."

Looking at that beautiful face that was as cold as ice, Li Fan couldn't help but think of his senior sister. It seemed that he hadn't been scolded by his senior sister for a long time. A warm smile appeared on Li Fan's face.

"What is he laughing at?" Li Hongyi looked surprised when he saw Li Fan's weird smile.

He seems happy to be told to shut up?

She was really angry after being called away by Li Fan again and again. In this corner of Lin'an City, she could barely be considered a "genius woman", right?

When have I ever been disliked like this?

Thinking of this, Li Hongyi looked at Li Fan's back with some displeasure, quickened his pace and caught up with him.

The two of them ran on the house, one in front and one behind.

The nights in Lin'an City were getting colder and colder. Ghosts appeared from time to time on the streets. In the distant alleys, under the silent night sky, one could occasionally hear screams of terror and the sound of houses being smashed. Those were the monsters wreaking havoc in Lin'an City.

A layer of coldness covered Li Hongyi's pretty face.

Screams were heard from the alley not far from them, and two figures jumped towards that direction. In front of them, they saw a skinny monster with yellow skin, a jackal face, bony arms, and hook-like hands. Blood was still dripping from the corners of its mouth, and at its feet lay a corpse.

"Evil beast!" Li Hongyi's face turned cold when he saw the bloody scene. Has the demon in Lin'an City become so rampant?

The jackal monster heard the noise and looked towards them with its bloodthirsty eyes. Its demonic aura was surging and it was already half human. Its legs fiercely ran towards Li Fan and Li Hongyi, with blood dripping from the corners of its mouth.

"boom……"

The jackal monster leaped up and rushed towards Li Fan and Li Hongyi on the roof. A surge of sharpness surged in Li Fan's body. At this moment, a figure in red whizzed past him, holding a flaming spear with anger in her hand. She leaped up, and the jackal monster had no time to dodge and was pierced through the body by Li Hongyi's spear in mid-air.

After landing on the ground, Li Hongyi threw the jackal's corpse down, and looked at the corpse on the ground in the distance that had been eaten to the point of being unrecognizable. He felt a little heavy. It would be meaningless to rely on these practitioners in the current situation of Lin'an City. He hoped that the court and the major practitioners outside would arrive in Lin'an City as soon as possible to suppress the monster.

Li Fan continued to move forward without stopping, and Li Hongyi followed.

The two soon encountered a cannibalistic monster again. Li Fan moved his mind and a sharp sword appeared in the sky and pierced down, directly killing the monster. However, this situation was happening everywhere in Lin'an City at this time, and relying on the two of them would be nothing but a drop in the bucket.

They also encountered other practitioners and fought with monsters.

"There is a fighting ahead." At this time, Li Hongyi looked in one direction and heard a lot of noise coming from there.

Li Fan naturally also noticed that area. The demonic and yin energy was very strong and weird.

The two of them quickened their pace and walked towards that direction, and before they knew it, they had gone from walking one after the other to walking side by side.

A wide street appeared ahead, where a great battle was breaking out.

"Demon and ghost cultivators?" Li Hongyi stopped and looked at the battlefield and was stunned.

It turned out that the two sides in the battle were demons and ghosts. Those ghost cultivators were all young women with pale and bloodless skin and a heavy yin energy in their bodies. Apart from that, they were no different from human women, and the weapons they used were long swords.

There were two monsters fighting with them. One of them was a gibbon monster with a tall and thin body, extremely long arms and sharp claws like hooks. The other was a bear monster with an extremely tall body, nearly ten feet tall. It gave a very oppressive feeling, and its bear face looked somewhat human, covered with black hair.

This bear demon practiced some magic, and when its palm print blasted out, the body of a female ghost cultivator was directly shattered.

Li Fan did not look towards the battlefield. His gaze fell on the back of the battlefield. A white horse was lying in a pool of blood, and its body had been eaten. Not far from the white horse, a girl was lying there, her body covered in blood.

Lying under her was actually a corpse.

A faint sound came out of the girl's mouth, as if she was singing a nursery rhyme. The voice was so light that it couldn't even cover up the footsteps of Li Fan and Li Hongyi, but the girl seemed not to hear them and still lay there quietly.

The girl was Ah Qi, and the man lying under her was her father Yang Kui.

Li Hongyi took a look at the corpse. It was bloody and he could even see the internal organs that had been taken out and eaten. His hands were lying there, as if he was protecting something important before he died.

Li Fan felt bad. If he had given the girl a little more help, the outcome might not have been like this.

Li Hongyi's eyes were a little red. Although they had only met once, she didn't know why she was particularly sad at the moment. This was just a microcosm of ordinary people in Lin'an City.

Holding the spear tightly, Li Hongyi looked towards the battlefield, but heard Li Fan whisper: "Take care of Ah Qi."

As he said that, Li Fan turned and walked towards the battlefield, looking at the two monsters. Ghost cultivators would not eat flesh and blood, so it was obviously the monsters who did it.

"Get out of the way." As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, he ran towards the gibbon monster. The ghost cultivator who was fighting with the monster retreated. The monster stared at Li Fan with bloodthirsty eyes. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he leaped into the air, and his sharp claws were like scimitars, slashing at Li Fan from top to bottom.

Li Fan continued to move forward. The ape monster's sharp claws were about to chop Li Fan's head, but Li Fan's arm suddenly grabbed the long-armed ape monster's wrist and swung it violently, smashing the ape monster's body to the ground.

Before the ape demon could react, it heard a cracking sound and let out a painful scream as its long arm was broken.

The ape demon wanted to turn over, but saw Li Fan's foot directly on his head. His palm was like a weapon, directly breaking the ape demon's body and piercing into it. Blood spurted out and splashed on the white clothes. A demon pill was picked out alive.

The ape demon's bloodthirsty eyes turned into fear. The next moment, Li Fan's fingers were like sharp blades, directly cutting its throat.

The ghost cultivators nearby were stunned when they saw the scene before them. They were shocked by Li Fan. This handsome young man who looked harmless was actually so vicious.

"Boom." The ground shook and a roar was heard. The bear demon saw his companions being killed and rushed towards Li Fan.

Li Fan looked up at the bear monster. His pupils were golden and a terrifying evil spirit in his body made the bear monster's heart beat rapidly. His huge palm with sharp thorns slammed down towards Li Fan, and the rolling evil spirit turned into a large black palm print.

A residual shadow flashed by, and the bear monster's huge palm print hit the ground. The street bricks exploded, but a deep blood mark appeared on the bear monster's neck. Li Fan's body appeared behind it, with sword energy lingering between his fingers.

The bear demon's steps were unsteady, and a huge black hand covered its throat. Then it fell to the ground with a bang, and blood gushed out. It opened its eyes and watched the human practitioner break its body open just like he did to the ape demon, and take out the demon pill from its body.

How come this person is even more brutal than those monsters!
