In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Riding the wind on his sword, Zhang Xiaoshan arrived directly near the gathering place of demons.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan did not show himself directly, but instead observed his surroundings.

After confirming that there were no demonic experts lying in ambush around the demon cave, Zhang Xiaoshan sneaked in directly.

As long as the 'Demon King' here is killed, the lesser demons will be no threat at all.

What's more, he also has a demon-catching net, capable of catching a whole host of demons.

Even in this desolate swamp, despite the isolation, Zhang Xiaoshan could still see the putrid smell below, which was absolutely foul and stenchy.

Most of the creatures inside were uncivilized demons, with only six demons who had refined their throat bones and could speak, living in a half-human, half-demon state, drinking and eating meat.

The leading snake demon had about seven or eight hundred years of cultivation, was neither male nor female, and possessed extremely strong malevolent energy.

But for Zhang Xiaoshan, as long as they are not from ancient divine beasts or exotic beasts, even ordinary demons with a thousand years of cultivation are no match for him.

After all, the Pure Yang Daoist Manual, which combines the Supreme Golden Chapter, the Kunlun Qi Refining Technique, and the Taiyin Treasure Scripture, is the most top-tier Daoist inheritance.

In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan also possesses a Pure Yang Dao Foundation, meaning his Pure Yang power is several times, or even ten times, greater than that of a typical superior foundation, making him far stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same realm.

Moreover, there is the Seven Star Yao Guang Sword, which is comparable to the ancient immortal sword.

As for the other demons, their cultivation levels are between four and five hundred years, and their physical forms and cultivation levels are not as good as the snake demon.

After confirming that the snake demon was Xiaoqing from the West Lake, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately cast out a demon-catching net.

As a large golden net was cast out, it instantly covered an area of ​​ten zhang in radius. By the time Xiaoqing and the others realized it, it was all over; they were all enveloped within it.

Moreover, all the Taoist talismans on the Demon-Catching Website were re-refined by Zhang Xiaoshan, and their pure Yang power was specifically designed to suppress the dense malevolent energy of these demons.

As the snake demon struggled, it transformed back into its original form, which was a giant blue python, ten zhang long and as thick as a large vat.

Compared to the demon python of Kunlun Mountain, although they are similar in size, Xiao Qing is just an ordinary green snake who has attained enlightenment and has been cultivating for more than 500 years.

On the contrary, the demonic python, which had been absorbing spiritual energy from the vicinity of Kunlun Mountain for only a hundred years, could not even transform into human form.

Moreover, the serpent under Kunlun Mountain is a viper.

A tale from the Book of Gods and Demons says: A viper transforms into a dragon after five hundred years, and a dragon transforms into a dragon after a thousand years...

At this moment, the green snake thrashed about, trying to rely on its powerful body to break free of the demon-catching net.

But let's not even talk about the fact that this demon-catching net is a magical artifact, making it difficult to break.

After being strengthened by merit, it becomes more resilient and also possesses the properties of binding the evil energy and demonic power of demons.

Therefore, no matter how much the demons inside struggled, they were all wiped out by Zhang Xiaoshan in the end.

Karmic Fire Dispelling Talisman!

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan raised his hand and drew a talisman in the air. With a decree, a blazing flame ignited within the demon-catching net.

This is a karmic fire talisman for burning away evil energy. The power of the karmic fire is determined by the evil energy of the demon.

The more concentrated the malevolent energy and karmic force, the stronger the flames.

At this moment, these demons were bound together, and those with weaker cultivation levels were almost certain to die.

Zhang Xiaoshan originally intended to kill them all, but suddenly had other ideas. Perhaps he could use Xiaoqing to find Bai Suzhen, so he didn't kill them all. He only used the Karmic Fire Exorcising Talisman to help them clear away their evil energy.

If Xiaoqing survives, it is the will of Heaven that allows her to live.

Hiss...

Hmph hmph hmph...

........ .... ...

Squeak squeak squeak...

Under the raging flames, a group of demons were subjected to the ten most cruel tortures, struggling in agony within the demon-catching net, howling in agony.

Unfortunately, the Demon-Catching Net was so resilient that the karmic fire not only failed to harm it in the slightest, but gradually contracted, making the space for the demons to struggle even smaller.

At the same time, under the raging flames, the evil energy and swamp gas of the wilderness were instantly ignited, and the raging fire illuminated half of the sky.

Zhang Xiaoshan ignored the demonic beasts struggling and fleeing in the flames.

These monsters were at least accomplices and were not civilized.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan did not intend to kill them. In the end, they believed in the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't kill every demon he sees; quite a few demons have escaped his clutches.

It's not that he really can't kill, it's that he doesn't want to.

He cultivates in the deep mountains, where there are no demons causing trouble in the human world. Unless it's a matter of principle, he has no need to exterminate them all.

Besides, these monsters are not going to amount to much.

By the time these demons have gained power, Zhang Xiaoshan will have already ascended to immortality or become a powerful figure in Kunlun.

Soon, as the flames gradually subsided, half of the demons in the demon-catching net were reduced to ashes, while three demons survived, much to Zhang Xiaoshan's surprise.

Besides the snake demon Xiaoqing, there is a black dog demon and a black fish demon.

Xiaoqing, being highly skilled, survived, while the black dog demon and the black fish spirit had very little karma and malevolent energy. Therefore, although their burns were severe, they were not lethal.

Chapter 929 Bai Suzhen Makes Her Move

"Originally, with my humble methods, you would have no chance of surviving if you were causing chaos in the world here."

However, since I used the divination technique to foresee the future, the Green Snake Demon will be enlightened by a noble person. Therefore, I only gave you a small punishment as a warning and did not take your lives directly.

As for the black dog and the black fish, your karma is relatively small and you have no great evil.

That's why I was able to survive the raging fire.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xiaoshan directly removed the demon-catching net that had trapped the three demons.

At this moment, the three demons, barely clinging to life, not only had little demonic power left, but even in their peak condition, dared not make a move.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan's earlier attack was partly due to a sneak attack, it is undeniable that a single net and curse nearly took their lives, demonstrating that their opponent's strength was far beyond their capabilities.

What the green snake never expected was that the reason they didn't die was because it would receive help from a benefactor in the future.

This made both the black dog and the black fish demons extremely envious of "843".

They know the benefits of having a benefactor's help, which is far better than being a nobody like them.

"Thank you so much, Taoist priest, for sparing my life!"

"I hope you will behave yourselves. If I encounter you doing evil again, it won't be a simple punishment. I will make you suffer the pain of being pierced by ten thousand swords!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared beneath Zhang Xiaoshan's feet, and the three demons only saw a sword shadow piercing through the air.

Man and sword become one, soaring through the nine heavens on a sword

Sword Immortal?

The three demons became even more wary.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't even use his flying sword; he almost killed them with just a net and a talisman. If he had used his sword, they would have been dead without a doubt.

They had no doubt about the sword immortal's flying sword, especially a powerful immortal sect expert like Zhang Xiaoshan.

When they first saw the Demon-Catching Net, they thought Zhang Xiaoshan was a member of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

But Zhang Xiaoshan let them go, and at such a young age, he already possesses such terrifying strength. He must be a sword immortal from a major sect, and it's impossible for him to join the Demon Suppression Division.

After all, major sects occupy the top blessed lands, and their elite disciples often go out to train, many of whom are at the tenth level or higher of the Qi Refining realm.

In the Demon Suppression Division, this is equivalent to a captain-level expert.

Moreover, they cultivate superior Qi refining methods and possess magical artifacts bestowed by their masters and elders, enabling them to contend with ordinary rogue cultivators at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, the arrogance of the disciples of major sects made them disdain joining the Demon Suppression Division, and they all went their separate ways.

"This is it! It's so desolate; it must be the monster's lair!"

Outside the raging fire, the rampaging and fleeing demonic beasts quickly attracted the attention of the Qiantang Demon Suppression Bureau, which also confirmed that this was the lair of the demons.

Given the magnitude of the fire, they concluded that powerful immortals had already eliminated the demons here and were now taking advantage of the situation.

"My lord, there are three demons inside, and they are already seriously injured and on the verge of death."

The first members of the "suicide squad" to rush into the fire saw the demon lying on the ground, barely breathing, and their faces lit up with excitement.

These are all achievements!

Especially considering the enormous size of the green snake, which is ten zhang long, it must have at least five hundred years of cultivation.

The black dog, about ten feet long, and the black fish, about three feet long, probably have two or three hundred years of cultivation. Showing them off would definitely be their 'great achievements'.

At the same time, a tall, middle-aged man rushed in from outside, his eyes fixed intently on the powerless demon before him, his gaze equally sharp.

Could it be that some powerful immortal master perished together with the three great demons?

Otherwise, if the goal is to eliminate all demons, why not just kill these three demons outright?

Therefore, upon seeing the three great demons before him, the junior commander of the Demon Suppression Division couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement.

However, just as he was fantasizing about being promoted and receiving special training from his master, the weather suddenly changed, and a torrential rain fell from the sky.

With the cultivation levels of the Demon Suppression Division members, they were not afraid of wind and rain at all.

Unfortunately, the wind howled and the rain poured down. Even though the great masters raised their magical powers, all they could see was a white dragon shadow flashing in the wind and rain, which then took the three demons and left.

This left several experts from the Demon Suppression Division watching the departing white dragon shadow with resentment.

They knew that the demons who could summon wind and rain had at least a thousand years of cultivation, and were simply beyond their ability to contend with.

This thousand-year-old demon merely summoned wind and rain and took away three other demons without harming them. They should be grateful that the other party showed mercy.

···

"We are deeply grateful to you, sir, for saving our lives!"

When they saw the Demon Suppression Division, the Green Snake Demon, the Black Dog Demon, and the Black Fish Spirit were already in utter despair.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan let them go. The Demon Suppression Division, which they usually looked down upon, suddenly appeared and almost brought them to their knees.

At this moment, the white dragon shadow revealed itself to be a stunningly beautiful fairy in flowing white robes, with an elegant demeanor. Her natural beauty, unadorned and ethereal, was truly unparalleled.

"There's no need for such formalities, everyone. We're all demons, so we'll help each other out whenever we can."

Suzhen only hopes that you will not do evil in the future. Cultivating yourselves in the mountains is the true path. Otherwise, Suzhen can save you once, but she cannot save you a second time!

"What you say is absolutely right, sir. We were just lucky this time..."

After two warnings, the demons were saddened, so the black dog demon explained the whole story...

Even Bai Suzhen couldn't help but look surprised upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, the three demons had already been spared once, and by a sword immortal from a major Xuanmen sect.

It should be noted that these disciples of major Taoist sects, when they encountered demons, never didn't just kill them outright, and they were also skilled in the art of observing qi, making them at least among the most accomplished Taoist masters.

Thinking of what the other party said, that the Green Snake Demon would be guided by a noble person in the future, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but start calculating with her fingers.

Bai Suzhen was a disciple of the Old Mother of Lishan and had 1,800 years of cultivation. She had long since reached the level of a demon king, and was even no less than a demon emperor.

Such esoteric techniques are naturally easy to master.

"I see!"

Suddenly, Bai Suzhen looked at the Green Snake Demon with a look of surprise in her eyes.

Because she realized that the benefactor Zhang Xiaoshan mentioned was actually herself, and Zhang Xiaoshan must have foreseen her appearance beforehand, which is why he spared the three demons once.

"What a master of Taoism!"

Little snake demon, as I just said, your benefactor should be me. I never expected that I would be predicted by a Taoist master so soon after entering the human world.

Fortunately, the other party was not hostile; otherwise, given their unfathomable level of skill, you would have died without even knowing how.

Upon hearing this, the Green Snake Demon looked at Bai Suzhen in disbelief.

At this moment, Bai Suzhen didn't waste any words. With a wave of her sleeve, three beams of spiritual light surged into the bodies of the three demons.

2.0

The three demons only suffered burns; the karmic fire damaged their internal organs, temporarily preventing them from recovering their strength and power.

Bai Suzhen's magic not only helped them heal their surface burns, but also removed the karmic fire burning energy from their bodies. In less than a short while, the three of them had recovered most of their health.
