I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Shen Tianyu's face turned extremely ugly: "You dare to do something under my nose? You're asking for trouble!"

"They shouldn't have gone very far yet, let's hurry and chase after them," Jing Xinyu urged. She was counting on this deal to make money to buy pretty clothes and bags, and she didn't want them to get away like this.

Shen Tianyu took out an old compass and searched for Laura and Kevin's location.

"Put away your junk, and watch me."

Shi Daohan couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, then took out a tracking talisman and summoned a wisp of Laura and Kevin's aura from the house, attaching it to the talisman.

"They've headed south, give chase!"

After learning Laura and Kevin's approximate location, she transformed into a long purple streak and gave chase.

"I didn't expect you to be a talisman cultivator." Shen Tianyu caught up and said with some surprise.

Shi Daohan raised an eyebrow: "Don't you know I'm an expert in everything?"

Shen Tianyu said, "I've heard people say that you were hailed by Shushan as a once-in-a-millennium genius. In less than three years, you mastered the systems of swordsmanship, formations, talismans, medicine, music, weaponry, body combat, puppetry, and beast combat. You even deciphered the 'Heavenly Script Cloud Record,' which no one in Shushan had been able to comprehend for thousands of years. Is all of this true?"

Shi Daohan shook his head and said, "I have indeed dabbled in various systems and fields, but I have not fully comprehended the 'Heavenly Seal Cloud Record'. I can only barely understand the contents, and I am still far from fully comprehending it."

"To be able to dabble in so many fields at the same time and achieve some success in each one, it's no exaggeration to call you a once-in-a-millennium genius," Shen Tianyu exclaimed sincerely.

He was hailed as the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua at the Donghua Mountain Immortal Dao Mansion, but he was only proficient in four systems: sword, formation, puppet, and music. Unlike Shi Daohan, he was not proficient in all systems and achieved some success.

He had to admit that he was inferior in this respect.

They continued their pursuit southward, from the bustling city center to the suburbs.

"It's right there!"

Jing Xinyu pointed to a villa built at the foot of a mountain, where she sensed Laura's presence.

They landed together in front of the mountain villa. The aura that seemed both demonic and ghostly was incredibly strong, as if a ferocious beast was about to awaken.

"Judging from this aura, this demon seems to be quite powerful." Shen Tianyu frowned.

"Stop calling them demons. They're evil creatures, and they have nothing to do with our demon race!" Jing Xinyu glared at Shen Tianyu, annoyed.

Shen Tianyu was speechless and said, "Isn't this just something I said offhand? Don't worry about the details."

"The employer is still inside, his life hanging in the balance, and you two have time to flirt here." Shi Daohan glanced at them, then walked straight towards the inner courtyard of the villa.

Jing Xinyu and Shen Tianyu immediately realized that if something happened to their employer, their entire job would be for nothing.

The villa was located at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs, and there was no electricity, so it was completely dark. Fortunately, none of the three of them were normal people, and they had spiritual sense to explore the surroundings.

Shi Daohan found a passage leading to the basement at the bottom of a staircase, and that eerie, ghostly aura was constantly surging up from below.

Shen Tianyu stretched out her foot to go down and take a look, but Shi Daohan grabbed her arm.

"Don't act rashly, be careful of traps," Shi Daohan warned.

She raised her hand and summoned dozens of array flags, sealing off the four sides of the villa to prevent the evil creature from escaping. Then she took out a large stack of talismans from her storage ring and pasted them all over every corner inside and outside the villa, effectively cutting off the evil creature's escape route.

When the three of them arrived at the villa's basement through the underground passage, they were greeted by a large array platform with golden array patterns spreading outwards like ripples on water, illuminating the dark basement.

Between those array patterns, there were also countless runes, shimmering with golden light like stars.

"What is this?" Shi Daohan asked curiously. This kind of rune was neither the rune of their immortal path nor the kind of foreign script of the West. It was the first time she had ever encountered it.

"This is Sanskrit!"

Shen Tianyu stared at the runes on the ground that were flashing with golden light, his brows furrowed. Then he looked at Kevin, who was unconscious on the platform and being held in Laura's arms, and immediately summoned his natal flying sword.

Seeing his serious expression, Shi Daohan and Jing Xinyu also drew their own signature weapons, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"You say this is Sanskrit? Then is this evil thing related to Buddhism?" Shi Daohan looked at Shen Tianyu.

"She can no longer be called an evil being; her name in Sanskrit is Helidimu!"

Shen Tianyu held his natal flying sword, Cai Li, and pointed it at Laura on the platform, saying in a deep voice.

"Legend has it that when the Buddha was born in Rajagaha in ancient times, the whole city held a celebration. On the way, they met a pregnant woman who followed them, but she miscarried midway. The five hundred monks then abandoned her and left."

"In the end, the woman died in childbirth. Before she died, she made a solemn vow to the heavens that if she were to be reborn in Rajagaha, she would devour all the children in the city."

"Later, she indeed fulfilled her vow and was reborn in Rajagaha, where she gave birth to five hundred children and captured and ate the children in the city day and night."

After Shen Tianyu finished explaining the origins of the River Pear Emperor Mother, Shi Daohan immediately understood.

"Devil Mother Goddess!"

Jing Xinyu had obviously heard of some of the deeds of this Demon Mother Goddess, and said calmly, "One of the Twenty Protectors of Buddhism."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Tianyu and Shi Daohan casually, and gave a disdainful snort.

Noticing her gaze, Shen Tianyu quickly said, "Don't look at us. This is their Buddhist sect; it has absolutely nothing to do with our immortal sects!"

Shi Daohan's expression was solemn as he said, "One of the Twenty Heavenly Protectors of Buddhism seems rather difficult to deal with."

Shen Tianyu nodded: "She is indeed not easy to deal with, but the three of us should be able to take on one of her without too much of a problem."

On the platform, the demon mother Laura held the unconscious Kevin tightly in her arms, gently stroking his hair, murmuring, "Why? I've been so good to you, yet you still don't trust me?"

"You beast, let go of that child!"

Shen Tianyu let out a sharp shout and swung his sword, unleashing a dazzling sword beam, worried that the Demon Mother Goddess might harm their employer.

"boom!"

A vast expanse of golden light engulfed the sword beam unleashed by Shen Tianyu, then disintegrated into a dazzling rain of light.

The Demon Mother suddenly turned around, staring intently at Shen Tianyu and the other two, and roared through gritted teeth, "I just want to be a good mother, why are you all going against me! Why!!"

Her voice was extremely sharp and piercing, like someone was repeatedly scratching a piece of glass with a knife. Shi Daohan and the other two looked uncomfortable, covered their ears in pain, and staggered back several steps before regaining their balance.

"I sympathize with your plight, but since the Buddha has already converted you and made you one of the protectors of the Twenty Devas of Buddhism, you should no longer linger in the mortal world, and you should not destroy other people's families just to become a mother!" Shi Daohan shouted, covering her ears.

"Why waste words with her!" Shen Tianyu cleaved the space in front of him with his sword, blocking out the piercing and sharp voice, and coldly shouted at the Demon Mother Goddess on the platform, "You stubborn and unyielding beast, if you don't surrender now, I'll cripple you right here today!"

The Demon Mother Goddess's face was extremely gloomy. She gently placed Kevin in her arms on the array platform, and then shed her disguise as Laura, revealing her true form.

Bathed in the light of Buddha, her skin was as black as charcoal, and her body was covered with countless Sanskrit characters that shone brightly. Dressed in a red robe, she appeared both solemn and eerie amidst the hazy and vast Buddhist chanting.

"You shouldn't have meddled in other people's business. Today you will all die here!" the Demon Mother Goddess said coldly.

"That depends on whether you have the ability!" Shen Tianyu snorted coldly, and directly flew up with his natal flying sword.

Jing Xinyu followed closely behind, and two crimson-gold curved blades emerged from her flesh from her pair of delicate, pink arms, which were as tender as lotus roots.

This is her natal weapon, forged from her own two arm bones, and it possesses an extremely fierce and malevolent aura.

A great battle broke out, and Shen Tianyu and Jing Xinyu launched a full-scale attack on the Demon Mother Goddess.

After all, he was a revered deity of Buddhism, so the two of them dared not underestimate him in the slightest. As soon as they entered the arena, they raised their combat power to the extreme, unleashing a variety of supernatural abilities and techniques.

"Keep your movements down, don't hurt the employer!"

Shi Daohan took out various materials from his storage ring and was setting up a killing array, worried that the fluctuations from their battle might accidentally injure Kevin on the array platform.

That's their employer, they're very precious. If anything goes wrong, they won't get a single penny!

"Damn it, you make it sound so easy! This is one of the twenty guardian deities of Buddhism. If we hold back, we'll be the ones getting killed!" Shen Tianyu cursed as he attacked.

"If all else fails, we should send the employer to a safe place first," Jing Xinyu replied when she had a spare moment.

Shi Daohan thought it made sense. He first raised his hand and summoned a small teleportation array to send the unconscious Kevin out of the basement, and then focused on setting up his killing array.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a figure fell heavily from mid-air, creating a crater more than two meters deep in the ground. When the dust settled, it turned out to be Shen Tianyu!

"Are you even capable? If not, you set up the killing formation, and I'll go up and fight that Demon Mother Goddess!"

Shi Daohan's head peeked out from the edge of the pit.

"Damn it! Who said I can't do it?!"

Shen Tianyu cursed angrily, then sat up and pointed at the Japanese Mother Goddess in mid-air at full power, shouting, "You beast, I, your Daoist master, will annihilate you today!"

After saying that, he leaped into the air again and engaged in another fierce battle with the Demon Mother Goddess.

While setting up the killing formation, Shi Daohan kept a close eye on the battle situation above.

Time passed second by second. Shen Tianyu and Jing Xinyu attacked at the same time, but they could not break through the barrier and could not even get close to the Demon Mother Goddess.

Shi Daohan had no choice but to slow down the time it took to set up the killing formation and joined the battle with his natal flying sword.

With her joining them, Shen Tianyu and Jing Xinyu immediately felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.

"boom!"

Then, the three of them simultaneously unleashed a palm strike, and the basement, which was not protected by any array, finally collapsed due to the intense battle shockwaves.

The Demon Mother Goddess broke through the ground and soared into the sky immediately, followed closely by Shi Daohan and the others, who arrived above the suburban villa.

No longer confined by the narrow space, the three of them were finally able to unleash their full power and attack the Oni Mother Goddess from three different directions.

During this process, Shi Daohan also had to take the time to set up her killing formation. In a moment of distraction, she was grazed by the giant hand of the Demon Mother Goddess and flew hundreds of meters before regaining her footing.

"Hey Shen, aren't you also a formation cultivator?! Why don't you help me set up a killing formation?!" Shi Daohan yelled at Shen Tianyu.

The fact that the Demon Mother Goddess is revered as one of the twenty guardian deities of Buddhism speaks volumes about her strength. Even if the three of them were to combine their efforts, it would still be too difficult to defeat her; a killing formation would be necessary.

Shen Tianyu was proficient in four disciplines: sword, formation, puppet, and music. Therefore, he also helped Shi Daohan set up the killing formation.

"Sizzle"

Demonic energy surged and covered the sky, with streaks of blood-red light filling the air, and Jing Xinyu's purple robes fluttered in the wind.

She possessed a stunningly beautiful face, but the aura emanating from her at this moment made her appear like a resurrected demon god. Every time she wielded her crimson-gold curved blade, it seemed as if she were about to tear the sky apart, which was incredibly terrifying.

"So strong!"

This is Shi Daohan's assessment of her. No wonder even Shen Tianyu, the chief disciple of Donghua Mountain who was hailed as the reincarnation of the Donghua Emperor, suffered a great loss at her hands.

"Kill for a pretty dress and a designer bag!"

With a soft shout, Jing Xinyu slashed fiercely with the demonic blade in her hand, finally breaking through the protective Sanskrit inscriptions of the Demon Mother Goddess, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on her body.

"ah--!"

Seeing the deep, bone-revealing knife wound on her arm, from which blood was gushing out, the Demon Mother Goddess was completely enraged. She let out a terrifying roar that tore through the sky, sending Shi Daohan and the other two flying hundreds of feet before they regained their footing.

"You ugly hag, you think you're so great just because you have a loud voice? Let me show you my terrifying roar!"

Jing Xinyu was also truly enraged, unleashing a similarly terrifying demonic roar.

"boom!"

The two opposing forces clashed, as if tearing the sky in two.

Shi Daohan was also annoyed by the sharp and piercing voice of the Demon Mother Goddess. He put away his natal flying sword, took out a jade flute, and played a melodious celestial tune.

It's a pity she hasn't mastered the Asura Formation-Breaking Music that her Grandmaster of Shushan taught her; otherwise, she would definitely bring it out to get revenge. (End of Chapter)
