All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 19: Killing Demons and Capturing Kunwu

At the bottom of the Wangchuan River, the jackal captain came roaring like an angry beast!

when!
The blades clashed, and Ji Ran's eyes were calm. He and Liu Bochin had experienced this scene countless times!

Still draw the knife and stab!

Pfft!

Blood spurts!

The jackal demon captain released his steel knife and slashed towards his face with his claws! That little wound was almost negligible for a demon!

You know, it's a vicious beast that will fight for its life even if it only has 7% of its health left!

This time, Ji Ran didn't hesitate at all and crashed directly into its arms!
Bang!
At this moment, the Jackal Captain's strength was concentrated in his claws, his middle gate wide open, and he couldn't hold back his strength. He was directly knocked unconscious by Ji Ran! Ji Ran held the horizontal knife that had penetrated the flesh tightly and violently stirred the wound!
"Roar!"

The demon roared in pain. Although his claws didn't hit any vital points, they still tore off two pieces of flesh on Ji Ran's shoulders!
At this moment, Ji Ran's eyes focused, and the steel knife in his hand was about to move upward!

With just this flick, I can cut the demon's neck and kill it!
"Um!?"

At this moment, Ji Ran suddenly heard a strong sound of breaking through the air!

Is it a knife?

but!

Looking at the empty hands of the Jackal Captain, Ji Ran still decisively gave up this opportunity and drew back his sword to block!

Bang! ! !
Under the terrifying force, the blade of the steel knife made a "squeaking" sound when biting against the horizontal sword! The interlaced steel bars were almost close to the tip of his nose!
It's the feet!

The demon's left foot claw was flexible, and it was holding a steel knife like an arm!

"hiss--"

But at this moment, a strong sense of crisis came again from behind!

A strong stench mixed with the smell of blood rushed straight to his neck! But the steel knife in front of him was suppressed by the tyrannical force!

Between life and death, Ji Ran's thoughts were extremely clear. He swung the sword in his hand and let the steel blade cut down!

This kind of decisiveness and judgment was the result of being defeated by Liu Bochin hundreds of times, and the consciousness was honed bit by bit!
A real battle, a moment of life and death.

If you don't want to be hurt, you will have to sacrifice your life!
Pfft!

A huge cut appeared on his chest! Blood-red flesh twitched, and blood spurted out like a spring, soaking his clothes inside and out.

[Angry Beast: HP decreased by 30%, Attack increased by 60%, Defense increased by 90%]

Taking advantage of this pass by, Ji Ran rolled over and created some distance.

Bang!
At this moment, the jackal captain was on all fours, holding a steel knife in his mouth, circling around Ji Ran like a beast examining its prey.

The cold moonlight was pale, and the only sound that echoed in the Forgetful River was the gurgling water.

Ji Ran hadn't noticed that faintly transparent scales had appeared on his body. These scales grew from the bones beneath his skin. Through the wound cut by the steel knife, he could see a spiderweb-like substance in his flesh and blood. The closer to the bones, the whiter the web.

This was the source of the increased defense. Even the bleeding from the wound had stopped.

The beast can attack with claws, fangs, and its entire body, bringing savagery and surprise.

This is the demon's advantage.

After a few seconds of fighting, both the man and the demon were on the verge of life and death.

Ji Ran's body moved in sync with the jackal captain's movements, always facing it head-on. His advantage lay in his swordsmanship, but once they got close, he lost his advantage. The demon was practically covered in weapons.

You need to make the most of your weapons!

So, come!

In a place that Ji Ran couldn't see, the word "anger" that appeared in the pupil of his left eye suddenly flickered and was covered by the word "greed".

But the words were pitch black, hidden in the dark pupils, and were almost impossible to see clearly.

[Greedy Beast: Increases attack by 30%, increases damage taken by 30%]

[Current damage is 208%]

As soon as a thought arises, a knife is struck!
Ji Ran seemed like a wild beast at this moment. The words in his eyes were twisted and fluctuating, like a black flame burning deep in his pupils.

"Roar!"

The jackal captain showed no fear and rushed towards Ji Ran!

when!
bang——

As the blades clashed, the demon's neck visibly twisted, and it stumbled backward. Ji Ran's doubled strength had surpassed its expectations, so much so that even with the steel blade held tightly in its mouth, it couldn't withstand the blow!
Ji Ran naturally would not miss this opportunity.

The sword in his hand flickered like a silver lightning bolt riding the wind! He aimed at the demon's head!
"Ow!"

The demon's eyes were filled with rage. He opened his mouth, arched his body, bit the blade with his bloody mouth, and grabbed the steel knife that slipped from his mouth, slashing towards Ji Ran diagonally!

Ji Ran seemed to be blind and slashed the demon's sharp teeth with his sword!

Zi la la la——

Sparks flew amidst the teeth-grinding friction sound!

A ten-centimeter wound was cut into the corner of the Jackal Captain's mouth, but the teeth marks on the horizontal sword were deeply embedded in it, so the sword did not cut off his head!

And, he bit the blade tightly!
Those cruel and ferocious eyes were filled with cruelty and blood!

The steel knife was already whistling towards him, but Ji Ran swung sideways!
Bang!
He took advantage of the slightly longer handle of the horizontal sword and used the tail of the handle to block the knife. At the same time, he used the force to get rid of the predicament of the demon biting the blade!

At the same time, he seemed to feel something in his heart.

[Crazy Beast: You have gained the blessing of the enlightenment state.]

The knife that was swept away carried Ji Ran's body and spun on his toes!
when! ! !
The powerful force instantly knocked the jackal captain back three or four steps.

Ji Ran's eyes suddenly lit up!
This is what it means to “borrow the wind”!
What you borrow is not your own strength, but the strength of others!

"Come again!"

Ji Ran swung his sword fiercely, but not with all his strength. The demon's ferocity remained undiminished, and he slashed down with his sword, causing Ji Ran to twist his body again!
when! ! !
The sword screamed, adding the power of the demon to its own strength!

The force of the blow made the jackal retreat four or five steps!
"Roar!?"

"Come again!"

when!
when! !

when! ! !
Each blow was like a mountain pressing down on the jackal, making it unable to breathe!
It was chopped all the way to the bank of the Forgetful River, and a hint of fear appeared on its originally ferocious and cruel face!
when--

With another blow, there was no longer the sound of metal clashing, but a long, dull and sharp sound!

The steel blade snapped under the continuous blows, its frosty edge slashing straight down, piercing the demon's ribs. Moonlight shone on the cold blade, a blood-red satin covering the entire blade.

wow-

The demon's upper body was neatly split open from the neck to the ribs, and its internal organs were boiling on the ground.

[Wind and Thunder Sword Sutra First Form: Great Completion]

Just skip Xiaocheng!
Ji Ran let out a long sigh, the scenery in front of him swayed and gradually faded away, and he returned to the front of the land temple.

"Breathing!"

As his energy and vitality recovered, Ji Ran looked somewhat excited.

Does this mean that I have entered the "realm of little demons"?
In reality, Ji Ran, who had only experienced one world, had underestimated the strength of the Jackal Captain. A demon that had cultivated for a century, a demon that could numb the hands of even the most elite monks, was a minor leader even in the world of a first-tier professional.

At this moment, Ji Ran stretched his limbs and planned to return to the real world.

it's time.

"return!"

……

Ji Ran appeared again in front of the French window on the second floor.

He came to Su Su's office, opened the door, but saw no one.

"Looking for someone?"

"Everyone from the Operations Department has left. If you're still late for half a day, the only people left here will be the civilian staff on the first floor."

A calm voice came from behind Ji Ran.

He turned around and saw a familiar face. Thick lenses almost completely obscured his eyes, and his slightly thin face had three-dimensional features. It was the man from the cultural and creative store.

At this moment, the man was not wearing the Taoist robe, but a well-fitting black suit with a black pen with a gold flower on his chest.

"Hello."

"Ji Ran, right?"

He raised his hand and took out a wooden box from the storage space, saying, "This is what Su Su asked me to give you."

He checked the time and said, "The captain also gave me a message just now."

The man rolled his glasses and said, "There's some trouble in the Northeast. The captain asked me to tell you that if you advance, fly directly to Northeast Snow City."

"it is good."

"and this."

The man handed over a black bracelet. The bracelet was dark blue with six cracks on it. Inside were six tiny eyes that were faintly rotating.

"The third generation of Clairvoyance is a special item provided by the General Administration. Only members of the Reserve Sequence Team are eligible to use it. Because its creator is only a 'corpse retriever', its production is extremely low. When connected to the sound of cicadas, it can identify various types of life information."

"Of course, if you discover a life form that's not included, you can choose to submit it, and you'll be rewarded with spiritual essence."

"Thank you."

The man nodded, turned around and went downstairs.

Ji Ran looked at this man who seemed a little strange, put on the bracelet, and looked at him again.

Corpse hunter?
It's the profession mentioned in the previous spiritual tool. Captain Xie seems to have one of these bracelets on his hand as well.

Ji Ran opened the wooden box in his hand.

[Kunwu cutting jade knife] (spiritual tool)

Skill: Jade Break: Ignores armor below "Spirit Tool" quality, and can cut through metal and stone armor. Has no effect on non-metal or stone materials like wood and leather. Consumes 10 durability points.

Skill: Gold Swallowing: During combat, it can damage equipment of "Spiritual Tool" quality or below, with each hit causing -5 durability, and the player recovers 1 durability point.

Durability: 500/500
Note: The Western Regions presented fire-cleaning cloth, and the Kunwu clan presented a jade-cutting knife. The fire-cleaning cloth, if soiled, could be burned to make it clean, and the knife could cut jade like silk.

Nice knife!

Ji Ran raised his eyebrows. This knife's characteristics were powerful enough, and it even had an additional skill. Although it was a companion skill and required other props, it also showed its extraordinary ability.

Break the defense!

The metal armor can almost be broken with one blow!

The only problem was that the skills he possessed were too "simple" and not powerful enough. However, the strength would have to be determined in actual combat. At least, the sharpness of his spiritual tool was more than enough for him to use.

At this moment, looking at the Jade Light skill, Ji Ran took out the ancient jade from the Pre-Qin period.

【Feeding?】

The Kunwu Sword is shaped like a horizontal blade, with the handle and bladeback entirely black, inlaid with white jade and tourmaline. The blade is a deep frosty color and incredibly sharp.

"Yes."

The next moment, the ancient jade from the pre-Qin period melted into mist and was absorbed by the jade on the blade. At this moment, all the jade on the blade turned into the same glutinous white color as the ancient jade from the pre-Qin period.

[Jade Light Skill: Afterglow: Consumes 5% of HP and restores 50% of Energy]

Not bad. If I can get the Fireproof Cloth and use it with this skill, I can almost set the field on fire infinitely.

Putting away the knife, Ji Ran went to the gym upstairs to familiarize himself with his reborn body before entering the world.

The day passed quickly.

Ji Ran estimated the time and returned to the Corridor of the Heavens to recover his energy.

At this moment, the train had vanished, leaving only a dark tunnel, with faint rustling sounds within. But surrounding the gap in the tunnel, the Earth God Temple emitted a faint grayish-white mist, suppressing all the restlessness in the dark tunnel and the swirling wilderness.

Ji Ran was not curious at this moment, but took inventory of his equipment.

Kunwu Sword, Purple Scale Armor.

Yin and Yang Qi Bottle, Leopard Spirit's Hatred, Tiger Tooth Necklace.

In addition to these, there are also fragments of Jiuli Ding, Xiaohuandan, Liujia Talisman, etc.

Of course, his greatest strength was not external objects, but his mastery of swordsmanship and the first move of the Wind and Thunder Sword Scripture!
Ji Ran waited silently, and soon he felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
