Chapter 274: Chapter 273: Slaying the Cat Demon (Request for Subscription)
The small village was not large—altogether, there were no more than a few dozen households.
On ordinary days, those coming and going were mostly relatives from other villages or so traveling rchants, so when Bai Ziyue and his group approached, they imdiately drew the villagers’ attention. Many watched cautiously, unwilling to co forward, yet unable to resist staring.
An elderly man with graying hair, looking like the village elder, carefully approached and asked, “I wonder what brings you young heroes to Bitter Lotus Village?”
“We…”
Zhao Ziyun was just about to respond when his gaze sharpened, almost instantly locking onto a particular figure.
Under the Thousand-Mile Tracking Skill, his eyes glowed with spirit light, allowing him to see special, barely perceptible auras in the void.
At that mont, he had made a discovery.
Bai Ziyue and the others, being sharp individuals, imdiately followed his gaze to a little girl.
The little girl was only five or six years old, wearing simple and worn-out hemp clothes, washed to a pale color. Her small face was slightly tense, and her bright eyes gazed at them with curiosity.
However, what truly caught their attention was not the little girl but the small orange cat she held in her arms.
*Demon!*
*Cat Demon!*
They hadn’t expected to encounter such a demon so soon.
However, glancing at the surrounding crowd, everyone beca solemn.
The cat demon, despite concealing its aura, was obvious to everyone present, be they direct disciples of the Sect, disciples of the Sect Leader, or experts like Bai Ziyue who had refined the spiritual eye technique to Dharma Instinct. Naturally, they could identify it.
The only solace they found was that the cat demon had not yet broken through to the Spirit Communication Realm.
*But still…*
“‘Immortal Ascension Pavilion at work, everyone back away.'”
At the crucial mont, Guh Hao roared, hesitating slightly, before unleashing his flying sword.
The others, despite feeling uneasy, did not hesitate too much, each unleashing their respective attacks.
The little girl was terrified, her bright eyes brimming with tears. Instinctively, she stepped back, only to stumble and fall.
Even so, she did not release the small cat, almost as if it were her best playmate.
“ow!”
Just then, the small cat casually stretched its body, easily slipping from the girl’s arms. In its erald-yellow eyes, a divine light flashed.
In the blink of an eye, the cat demon transford into a streak of light, disappearing from its original spot.
Bang! Bang!
Its forelimbs shot out quickly, swatting away two flying swords as swiftly as if they were lightning!
“Cat…”
The girl sobbed softly, suddenly gaping in surprise. *Did she ever imagine her small pet cat could be so fierce?*
“De-demon… demon… monster…”
The surrounding villagers were equally shocked by the sudden change, hastily fleeing toward the village outskirts.
“So fast!”
Ding Mao’s heart skipped a beat, but his hands calmly reached into his robe, pulling out a talisman.
Slash!
The talisman was activated, and a grayish light instantly lunged at the cat demon.
*Thousand Jin Talisman!*
Once the talisman was unleashed, the cat demon’s initially rapid speed imdiately slowed, as if it was bearing the weight of a thousand jin.
Zhao Ziyun, Guh Hao, and Yuu Yang’s spiritual powers surged. Seizing the opportunity, they each unleashed their magical artifacts.
Bai Ziyue also summoned his Dharma Artifact Small Sword. In a flicker, it vanished, soon reappearing before the cat demon.
“ow…”
With a furious cat’s roar, the once adorable and diminutive cat demon expanded abruptly, swelling a thousandfold in the blink of an eye. It appeared like a mighty beast, filled with a violent aura.
At the sa ti, waves of scarlet Demon Qi swiftly erged, forming a spiraling Demon Qi shield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each attack struck the Demon Qi shield, its power diminishing with each strike. Surprisingly, the shield only dimd slightly under the barrage.
But at that mont, everyone’s second wave of attacks was launched, and various talismans were activated.
Ice arrows, flas, wind blades…
All targeted the Demon Qi shield.
Boom!
For a mont, heaven and earth resounded.
The shield finally could not withstand it and shattered directly.
Ice blades and flas all landed on the cat demon’s enormous body, causing even its fur to curl slightly.
“Cat…”
Behind the cat demon, the girl cried out in shock, her small body trembling slightly.
“*Is it protecting her?*” Bai Ziyue’s face showed a hint of surprise.
*A strange feeling welled up within him.*
*A cat demon that had plundered and devoured countless humans, protecting a human?*
But at this mont, it could certainly escape. However, to shield the little girl from these magical attacks, it willingly endured the assaults.
“ow!”
Every hair on the cat demon stood on end. As the scarlet Demon Qi surged, a magical change seed to occur in its erald-yellow pupils, sending out invisible waves like tides.
Chirp, chirp…
Everyone imdiately felt their heads grow heavy, as though they might fall asleep. Though Bai Ziyue possessed imnse Spiritual Power, even he felt a montary daze.
“Watch out!”
Alerted, Bai Ziyue suddenly realized the cat demon had vanished, acting instinctively to summon the flying sword artifact.
Swish!
The flying sword directly pierced the cat demon, producing a dull thud.
This sword only slightly pierced into its body and did not cause fatal damage.
However, this sword also thwarted its plan to launch a sneak attack, causing others to quickly co to their senses.
Yuu Yang violently summoned a black bracelet, attacking with lightning speed.
Thud!
A muffled sound rang out, and the Demon Cat’s body swayed, seeming to feel sowhat dizzy.
Bai Ziyue seized the opportunity and suddenly tossed out a rope.
The rope flew out and expanded against the wind, enlarging countless tis in the blink of an eye, directly binding the Demon Cat entirely.
This rope was exactly what Bai Ziyue had obtained from the Di Family Cultivator he killed previously.
Because it was only a middle-grade Dharma Artifact, he had easily refined it. This ti, taking advantage of the fleeting mont when the Demon Cat was dazed, he made his move, causing the Demon Cat’s aura to slightly stagnate.
Then, his body flickered slightly and disappeared in an instant, arriving swiftly beside the little girl, and gently took her into his arms to bring her back.
Even if the Demon Cat had acted to protect her, who knew what might happen in the midst of battle?
*Ultimately, he was not a cold-hearted person and couldn’t bear to see the little girl die due to an accident, which is why he chose to protect her by his side.*
Others reacted quickly, and a flying sword transford into a stream of light, fiercely piercing the Demon Cat’s head.
The Five Elents Square Seal, like a small mountain, crashed down.
Sizzle!
The clouds gathered ominously, Zhao Ziyun’s Thunderfall Skill forming, one bolt of lightning after another followed and fell.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Demon Cat screeched, its body tensed, the middle-grade Dharma Artifact Immortal Binding Rope shattered directly, but at the sa ti, the Thunderfall struck it completely.
Various attacks further exacerbated its injuries.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon Cat’s aura weakened, and its appearance beca extrely miserable.
Slash!
At this mont, Yuu Yang struck again, and a flying sword transford into a beam of golden light.
Poof!
Like the last straw that broke the cal’s back, the flying sword penetrated directly through the Demon Cat’s head.
With a bang!
The Demon Cat imdiately fell to the ground, lifeless.
“Phew… It’s finally dead.”
Gong Fei summoned back his Five Elents Square Seal, exhaled lightly, and said.
“This Demon Cat was troubleso, but not too difficult to deal with.”
Guh Hao also spoke, his tone relaxed,.
“Sothing’s not right…”
Zhao Ziyun’s expression suddenly changed, quickly noticing sothing amiss.
Others felt a sudden twinge in their hearts, and imdiately sensed a weak aura from beneath the ground, moving quickly.
A flying sword transford into a stream of light, directly piercing into the ground below.
At this mont, Bai Ziyue made his move.
Almost at the instant the Demon Cat fell, Bai Ziyue noticed a scarlet light diving underground.
Evidently, that scarlet light was the Demon Core.
Between life and death, the Demon Cat had managed a soul escape, carrying its Demon Core in a bid to flee.
“ow!”
The flying sword fell, the scarlet Demon Core, wrapped in a Soul Body, directly surged out from underground, soaring into the sky like lightning, rushing towards beyond the village.
“You can’t escape!”
Yuu Yang shouted fiercely, the bracelet-like magical artifact attacking once more.
A sharp ray flashed over the Demon Core, moving at an extre speed, directly dodging the bracelet’s attack.
Two flying swords sped by, tearing the air with a screech.
The Demon Core attempted to repeat its evasive maneuver, when silently, a pale light descended directly.
Magic! Treasure-Setting Divine Light!
Hum!
In an instant, the Demon Core paused slightly, although it quickly burst through that layer of restraint, the two flying swords followed suit, crashing heavily against the scarlet Demon Core.
Boom~! Boom~!
Two vibrations sounded, and the Demon Core dimd slightly, while the almost manifest scarlet Demon Cat phantom trembled slightly, seeming about to disperse completely.
“ow…”
A thunderous cat screech rang out as the Demon Core chased the villagers from Bitter Lotus Village, a bizarre red light flashing over.
“Ah… no…”
Screams of panic rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the blood and Essence Qi of seven or eight people were completely absorbed, all drawn into the Demon Cat’s Demon Core.
Instantly, the previously weakened Demon Core seed to receive a massive replenishnt, regaining its glow.
“Hmph!”
Bai Ziyue’s expression changed, as Spiritual Power surged forth and a spell was imdiately unleashed.
Silently and swiftly, a glimr flashed past, at lightning speed, directly landing on the Demon Core.
Soul attack spell, Shocking God Stab!
“ow…”
A miserable howl blasted from within the Demon Core, its Soul Body gravely wounded, rolling down from the void.
At the sa ti, a black light suddenly shot out from Ding Mao’s hand, landing on the Demon Cat’s Demon Core.
Moving Soul Wave!
This was also a soul attack spell.
Then, a barrage of magical artifact attacks, magic, and talismans once again engulfed the Demon Core.
