A life of idleness in the world of demons

Chapter 39, 39. Instant Kill
Without hesitation, the sheep demon began to flee in panic.

Ning Xuan and Fairy Yao followed.

The midnight moon shone through the black mist, and a cold wind howled, as if someone was wielding a brush and splashing ink in the air. The further one went, the more one felt as if one was not in the human world.

Immortal Yao Zhen suddenly pondered and said, "Why not capture the sheep demon and interrogate it directly? Wouldn't it be too reckless to venture in so abruptly?"

Ning Xuan said, "You've been focusing on cultivating the Dao in the capital, haven't you?"

Fairy Yao Zhen said, "We will also cooperate with martial artists to carry out some demon-slaying operations."

Ning Xuan said, "Then stop talking nonsense and just follow me."

Fairy Yao Zhen retorted, "Your experience in subduing demons is not as extensive as mine."

Ning Xuan said, "Either shut up and go back to where you came from."

He was getting a little impatient.

He was in a state of extreme tension, a state of "I must kill the other party," but no matter what he said, the damned woman next to him would mutter a couple of opposing opinions.

His bottom line is very flexible. He lacks a lot of information right now, but he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. Don't be fooled by the fact that he is chasing a demon right now. He might turn around and run away at any moment. And if he thinks he can turn back after running away, he doesn't mind turning back immediately to give the other party a fatal blow. All his actions are based on the timing. This damn woman just has to set a rule and talk about "experience in subduing demons".

Fairy Yao Zhen said, "I am your partner, I will not leave you here alone."

Ning Xuan said, "If you want to follow me, then follow me; if you want to act on your own, then act on your own."

After saying that, he acted as if the woman didn't exist.

Fairy Yao was also a little angry.

She had never been this angry before.

Her peace and quiet had been almost completely ruined by this partner.

For some reason, whenever the general spoke, she felt compelled to retort, even though she knew it wasn't the time to argue.

She took a deep breath, silently recited "Changqing Tianzun, calm my anger," and then said, "This humble Taoist will not hold it against you."

But Ning Xuan really ignored her.

Besides focusing on the limping sheep demon that was fleeing, Ning Xuan was frantically observing his surroundings.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed in his arms.

The sheep demon that had fled ahead had a bloody hole in its body.

Ning Xuan said, "Stop beating around the bush, hurry up and find the demon who can save you."

The sheep demon clutched its wound, stopped jumping, lowered its forelimbs, and began to run faster.

Ning Xuan continued to follow closely.

The clanging and clattering sounds around him grew louder, as if ink blobs were falling into his body and spreading out in ink patterns.

He scanned his surroundings warily.

The forest is getting narrower and narrower.

There are mountains on both sides.

Dark, imposing mountains.

"Go up the mountain, from the top." Ning Xuan devised an escape route for the sheep demon. The sheep demon had the right to refuse, and he also had the right to stab the sheep demon again, but the sheep demon still had to agree.

Helpless, the sheep demon plunged its hoof into a nearby rock with a "thud," and then began to rise vertically upwards.

Ning Xuan was already extremely skilled at rock climbing. Without saying a word, he stuck his five fingers into the rock, his arm like a bowstring, and with a quick pull, his body soared several feet into the air.

Fairy Yao Zhen was quite considerate; she maintained her golden sphere of light around her, hovering in the air and staying close to Ning Xuan's side, as if she were watching out for him.

Just as the two climbed halfway up, all movement in the world suddenly vanished.

The sheep demon suddenly turned around and gave Ning Xuan a strange and ferocious laugh.

A flash of blue light appeared in Ning Xuan's arms, instantly killing the sheep demon.

The sheep demon's smile froze, and its body fell from mid-air.

It is still falling.

Its pupils were still wide open.

His open pupils reflected the dark sky and a blue lotus top that was popping out from the edge of the cliff. The huge face of the Bodhisattva was then revealed. As soon as it reached out, a golden hand reached down to grab Ning Xuan, who was still in mid-air, neither touching the sky nor the ground.

His eyes gleamed with greed, and his mouth dripped with saliva.
Fairy Yao was startled and hurriedly cast a spell, thinking to herself, "A demon with a golden body resembling incense has appeared! I'd better run!"

Suddenly, she heard a whisper in her ear: "Yaozhen, smash it."

Fairy Yao Zhen was taken aback, but still changed her spell. A golden seal floated above her and crashed down on the golden Bodhisattva with a thunderous roar. With this pressure, the golden Bodhisattva staggered, and the originally solemn golden body was forced to slump down.

Ning Xuan was not surprised.

Although Fairy Yao Zhen muttered to herself, her strength was undeniable.

The five spirits of the Scent-Stealing Rat could not stop her imprint.

In this way, he had an extra layer of insurance for killing the Scent-Stealing Rat, since someone was helping him hold down the demon and prevent it from moving.

Just then, Ning Xuan felt an intense sense of restraint on his body. Looking down, he saw a huge, rotten, pale frozen corpse suddenly emerge from the ice mountain he was climbing. The huge frozen corpse had its hands slightly hooked and tightly hugged him. He did not feel any powerful force, but he felt a heavy pressure on his soul.

at this time
The scene became extremely bizarre.

Fairy Yao Zhen suppressed the Golden Bodhisattva, waiting for Ning Xuan to make a move to attack the Golden Bodhisattva.

Meanwhile, the mysterious frozen corpse in the mountains pinned down Ning Xuan, awaiting the attack of the golden bodhisattva.

Both sides suppressed each other, as if they were copies of each other.

Suddenly, Fairy Yao recalled the familiar feeling she had when she first saw the "black aura and sheep demon." She hadn't thought about it much then, but now that familiar feeling resurfaced, she understood.

At that time, the "black aura of human heads" entangled the martial artist and the celestial master, and then the sheep demon killed the martial artist and the celestial master.

Now, the "mysterious frozen corpse" has entangled the martial artist and the celestial master, and then the demons kill them.
These are demons imitating them.

Immortal Yao Zhen sensed that there were three or four frozen corpses crawling rapidly along the sloping mountainside. These frozen corpses were probably originally lying in ambush at the end of the canyon. Instead of moving forward, they chose to climb the mountain, so the frozen corpses crawled over from a distance.

These frozen corpses possessed a power familiar to the Fairy Yao Zhen.

She sensed it briefly.

She felt it.

Dragon spirit!

There was dragon energy on the frozen corpse!

Although the dragon energy was chaotic and unable to unleash any magic, it already possessed an extremely powerful soul-suppressing force.

This sent a chill down the spine of Fairy Yao Zhen.

Because she had never heard of demons being able to use "soul suppression," wasn't that a characteristic of celestial masters?

The next instant, another unbelievable thought rushed into her mind: Could it be that martial artists are learning from demons, while some special demons are learning from celestial masters?
Fairy Yao glanced at the frozen corpse, then at the Celestial Master Seal she had pressed out, and at the several more frozen corpses that were rapidly crawling towards the sloping wall.

She made a quick decision to retrieve the Celestial Master's Seal that was pressing down on the golden Bodhisattva and smash it back to rescue Ning Xuan.

Even if a mere frozen corpse possessed some dragon aura, she didn't even consider it a threat.

As for what to do next, she hadn't figured out yet.

That's all I can say for now.

Just then, she heard a whisper in her ear.

"Don't move."

After saying this, Ning Xuan broke free from the frozen corpse.

Although the frozen corpse possessed great power, it was not yet able to completely suppress his "5.5" spirit.

As soon as he broke free from the frozen corpse, his golden body swelled dramatically, and a golden bodhisattva over ten feet tall appeared on the cliff face. He needed to kill the fragrance-stealing rat as soon as possible, so as not to reduce his success rate by deliberately hiding it.

A second golden Bodhisattva appeared.

The Scent-Stealing Rat, pressed down by the Celestial Master's Seal at the top of the cliff, froze, incredulous, speechless.

Ning Xuan didn't pause at all; all his movements were completed in one smooth motion.

The Bodhisattva held up a flower, and a flying knife transformed into a flower, suddenly filling the air with a dense cacophony of sharp screeching.

Lower your hands again.

Swallow Tide!

The throwing knife pierced precisely through the stomach of the golden statue of the Bodhisattva atop the cliff, drawing out a spray of vibrant blood—the blood-smelling thief rat that had been blasted into a bloody mist.

"go!"

Ning Xuanfei lunged at the ball of light in mid-air.

Yao Zhen's head was buzzing, and she felt like she was dreaming. But after she retrieved the Celestial Master Seal, she still vaguely used "Earth Escape" to take Ning Xuan away.
