Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 40: Killing the Demon
On the top of Yangjiao Mountain, wolves howled, full of ferocity and anger, but also hiding a hint of weakness. Corresponding to this was the increasingly fierce blood and wolf smoke. One was constantly weakening, while the other was still getting stronger. The balance of victory had already completely tilted.

"Such terrifying energy and blood!"

Standing on the mountainside, seeing the blood surging, Lu Xuanping's face couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression. At this moment, an oil-paper umbrella was floating above his head, covering all their breath. Neither the mice nor the ferocious wolves were aware of their presence at all.

"Yang Lie, you are a warrior, what do you think?"

With doubts in his heart, Lu Xuanping turned his gaze to the burly man. At this moment, looking at the blood and blood smoke rising into the sky on the top of the mountain, the burly man Yang Lie's face was full of astonishment. He came to his senses after hearing Lu Xuanping's words.

"Captain, this creature's blood and energy are pure, not like a monster. I'm afraid there's a martial arts master on it!"

With hesitation on his face, Yang Lie expressed his opinion. He was born with supernatural powers and was a good candidate for martial arts training. His blood and energy were strong, but this was the first time he had seen such terrifying blood and energy. Coupled with the murderous intent mixed in the blood and energy, he immediately thought of a martial arts master.

Hearing this, Lu Xuanping couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Martial arts masters are extremely rare. To some extent, they are even rarer than Qigong practitioners. Even though he only knows a few of them, those few should not appear here.

"Could it be the Iron Man Butcher of the Dangjiang Bandits? He is the strongest martial artist in this area. He is extremely talented and has some connections with the Gao family. If he can get help from the Gao family, he may be able to break through to the Grandmaster level."

As his thoughts drifted away, names began to appear in Lu Xuanping's mind.

Looking at Lu Xuanping who was lost in thought, Yang Lie and the female cultivator Yue Xiu looked at each other and both had some intention of retreating. Although the martial arts master was not as good as the Qigong cultivator, he was still more terrifying than the Wolf King with perfect inspiration.

With the strength of the three of them, they might be able to retreat when facing the Wolf King, but it would be difficult to face the martial arts master. Once a conflict occurs, Lu Xuanping, as the team leader, may be fine, but the same may not be true for the two of them, after all, they all come from humble backgrounds.

Just when the three were hesitating, accompanied by a howl, a green wolf shadow suddenly jumped down from the top of the mountain. It was the Wolf King, but compared to before, the Wolf King was much more miserable now. Not only were his eyes blind, his body was covered in blood, and even one of his legs was broken.

After fighting with Jiang Chen for a while, the pride and ferocity in its heart had been completely shattered. At this moment, its only thought was to escape. In its eyes, Jiang Chen was just a monster in human skin.

"This is the Wolf King..."

Feeling the brutal and tyrannical aura of the Wolf King and watching the Wolf King getting closer and closer, the female cultivator Yue Xiu pinched her fingers together and was about to use her magic almost instinctively. Fortunately, Lu Xuanping stopped her at the critical moment.

It was at this time that Jiang Chen's ghostly figure emerged.

"sucker Punch."

It looked like a dragonfly skimming the water, but it was actually as strong as a fierce beast stepping on the ground. Jiang Chen stepped lightly on the wolf king's back.

At this moment, it was like a mountain falling on the wolf king. He could no longer hold on. The evil spirit in his body dissipated and he staggered and fell to the ground. Before he could regroup, Jiang Chen's palm was already on his head.

Although there was no power contained in Jiang Chen's palm, the Wolf King really smelled the breath of death at this moment.

"It's time to finish."

Without the obstruction of the evil wind, Jiang Chen was able to actually touch the wolf king's hair and use the skinning technique.

The next moment, with a light tear, the wolf king's skin was completely torn off.

Awooo! The wolf king, who had been severely injured after his skin was peeled off alive, could no longer hold on. After twitching a few times, he died completely.

Under the invisible umbrella, watching such a bloody scene, Lu Xuanping and the other two couldn't help but hold their breath. They hadn't expected that the Wolf King, who they had to be careful with, would die right in front of them. At this moment, a cold gaze fell on them.

At the same time, an undercurrent surged, and countless rats surrounded this place.

Looking at this scene, Lu Xuanping couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that it was most likely that Yue Xiu had accidentally revealed some traces.

And the fact is indeed so. The fluctuation of spiritual energy caused by Yue Xiu's finger gesture just now could not hide from Jiang Chen's perception. Although the invisibility umbrella is quite mysterious, it is ultimately just a low-level talisman with limited capabilities.

"Demon Slaying Division Captain, Lu Xuanping, eldest son of the Lu family, greets Brother Dao."

Suppressing all distracting thoughts, putting on a spring-like smile on his face, putting away his invisibility umbrella, Lu Xuanping saluted Jiang Chen.

When you are away from home, your identity is still very important. Facing a vicious man like Jiang Chen, he did not hesitate at all and quickly brought out his two biggest backers to avoid any bad things from happening.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's gaze quietly swept over the three people who had revealed their figures, and finally lingered on the invisibility umbrella for a moment.

Feeling Jiang Chen's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Xuanping's expression remained unchanged.

"Demon Slayer Division? Are you here for this wolf demon?"

Seeing the configuration of three people, two practitioners and one warrior, plus their almost iconic attire, Jiang Chen basically confirmed their identities.

Although he was a newcomer, he still had some understanding of the Demon Slaying Division and the Lu family. The former was the most powerful violence machine in Nanjing Country, and the latter was the local tyrant in Qingyuan County. It was a famous family in the county and it was rumored that there was a Qi-cultivating cultivator in the family.

After hearing this and seeing that Jiang Chen did not take action immediately, Lu Xuanping felt a little relieved.

"Brother Dao is right. We are indeed here under the orders of the Thousand Households to investigate the wolf demon. We originally wanted to use this invisible umbrella to go up the mountain to investigate, but we never expected to witness the grand scene of Brother Dao slaying the wolf demon."

Once again hinting that there was someone behind the three people, Lu Xuanping took the initiative to hold up the invisible umbrella.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the invisibility umbrella again. It was the first time he had seen a talisman. Although his predecessor had inherited it, he did not have a talisman with him.

In fact, there are very few monks who specialize in refining talismans. Not only is the cost-effectiveness extremely low, but it is also quite troublesome to activate. It also requires a high level of skill from the monks, and ordinary monks with inspiration cannot play much of a role at all.

Catching Jiang Chen's gaze again, Lu Xuanping knew that his guess was correct.

"Brother Dao, you not only slew the Wolf King this time, but also wiped out this pack of ferocious wolves. You have truly accomplished a great deed. I will give you this talisman as a token of my gratitude on behalf of the people of Qinghe County for your heroic act of slaying the demon."

As he spoke, Lu Xuanping took the initiative to hand the invisibility umbrella to Jiang Chen.

Although a talisman is of great value to him, it is not something that cannot be discarded. It all depends on whether the person who gives it is of such value.

Seeing Lu Xuanping like this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at him deeply, and facing Jiang Chen's gaze, Lu Xuanping remained calm. At this moment, with the mountain breeze blowing, the bloody smell of Yangjiao Mountain seemed to fade a lot.
