Chapter 39: Instant Kill

The sheep demon didn’t hesitate and began to flee in panic.

Ning Xuan and Immortal Aunt Yaozhen followed.

The midnight moon shone on the black mist, and the yin wind howled, as if someone was holding a large brush and splashing ink in the space. The further they went, the more it felt like they were not in the human world.

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen suddenly pondered, “Why don’t we catch the sheep demon and interrogate it directly? Isn’t it too reckless to go deep rashly?”

Ning Xuan said, “You are in the imperial capital, and you are dedicated to cultivating the Tao, right?”

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen said, “I also cooperate with martial artists to carry out some demon encirclement and suppression.”

Ning Xuan said, “Then don’t waste words, just follow me.”

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen argued, “Your experience in subduing demons is not as rich as mine.”

Ning Xuan said, “Either don’t waste words, or go back where you came from.”

He was a little impatient.

He was now in an extremely tense state, a state of “must kill the other party.” But no matter what he said, this dead woman next to him had to mutter a few opposing opinions.

His bottom line was very flexible. He now lacked a lot of information, but he had to bite the bullet. Don’t look at him chasing the demon now, maybe he would turn around and run away immediately. And if he felt that he could turn back after turning around and running away, then he wouldn’t mind turning back immediately to give the other party a fatal blow. All his actions were based on the situation. This dead woman insisted on setting a rule, and even said something about “experience in subduing demons.”

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen said, “I am your partner, I will not leave you here alone.”

Ning Xuan said, “If you are willing to follow me, then follow. If you are willing to act on your own, then act on your own.”

After speaking, he acted as if this woman did not exist.

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was also a little angry.

She had never been so angry before.

Her purity had been almost destroyed by this partner.

For some reason, as long as this general spoke, she wanted to retort a few words, although she also knew that now was not the time to argue.

She took a deep breath, recited “Ever-Pure Heavenly Venerate, quell my anger” a few times in her heart, and then said, “This poor Taoist will not argue with you.”

But Ning Xuan really ignored her.

Besides locking onto the limping and jumping sheep demon, Ning Xuan was desperately observing the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed from his bosom.

And a bloody hole appeared on the body of the fleeing sheep demon in front.

Ning Xuan said, “Don’t go in circles, go find a demon that can save you.”

The sheep demon covered its wound and stopped jumping. Its forelimbs also fell to the ground, and it began to run faster.

Ning Xuan continued to follow closely.

The clanging sound around him became more and more frequent, like ink balls falling into his body, and then spreading out ink patterns.

He vigilantly scanned the surroundings.

The forest became narrower and narrower.

There were mountains on both sides.

Dark mountains.

“Go up the mountain, and walk from the top of the mountain.” Ning Xuan set the escape route for the sheep demon. The sheep demon had the right to refuse, and he also had the right to give the sheep demon another slash, and then the sheep demon would have to agree.

The sheep demon was helpless. Its hoof “thudded” into the hard rock on the side, and then it began to go up vertically.

Ning Xuan was also extremely skilled in rock climbing. Without saying a word, he inserted his five fingers into the rock, and his arms were like a bowstring. With a tightening and a release, his body soared up several zhang.

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was quite considerate. She directly maintained the golden light ball around her body, flew up into the air, and stayed close to Ning Xuan’s side, as if she was on guard for him.

And just as the two of them were halfway up, all the movements in the world suddenly disappeared.

The sheep demon suddenly turned its head and gave Ning Xuan a strange and ferocious smile.

A blue light flashed from Ning Xuan’s bosom, and the sheep demon was instantly killed.

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

It was still falling.

Its pair of pupils were still wide open.

The open pupils reflected the dark sky at this time, and a green lotus snail top that was popping out from the edge of the cliff. A huge Bodhisattva face was immediately revealed. With this probe, a large golden hand came from top to bottom and grabbed at Ning Xuan, who was still in mid-air, unable to go up or down.

Its eyes were greedy, and its mouth was drooling…

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was shocked and hurriedly cast a spell. She thought to herself, ‘An incense fire golden body demon has appeared! I have to run first!’

But a whisper suddenly came to her ear, “Yaozhen, smash it.”

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was stunned, but she still switched her spell. A golden seal floated above her head, and with a rumble, it pressed down on the golden-bodied Bodhisattva.

With this press, the golden-bodied Bodhisattva immediately staggered, and the originally solemn golden body was actually pressed down to a prostrate position.

Ning Xuan was not surprised.

Although Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was muttering, her strength was still unquestionable.

The 5 spirit of the Incense-Stealing Mouse could not block her seal.

In this way, he had also added a layer of insurance for the instant kill of the Incense-Stealing Mouse. After all, someone was helping him hold down the demon, so that the demon could not move.

But just then, Ning Xuan felt a strong sense of restraint from his body. He looked down and saw that a rotten and pale huge frozen corpse had suddenly appeared in the iceberg he was climbing. The huge frozen corpse’s hands were slightly hooked, and it was holding him tightly. He did not feel a strong force, but he felt a heavy pressure on his soul.

At this time…

The scene became extremely strange.

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was suppressing the golden-bodied Bodhisattva, waiting for Ning Xuan to attack the golden-bodied Bodhisattva.

And the mysterious frozen corpse in the mountain was suppressing Ning Xuan, waiting for the golden-bodied Bodhisattva to attack.

The two sides were suppressing each other, as if they were copying each other.

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen suddenly thought of the familiar feeling when she saw the “black qi, sheep demon” before. She hadn’t thought about it carefully at that time. Now that the familiar feeling reappeared, she finally understood.

At that time, it was the “human-headed black qi” that entangled the martial artist and the Heavenly Master, and then the sheep demon killed the martial artist and the Heavenly Master.

Now it was the “mysterious frozen corpse” that entangled the martial artist and the Heavenly Master, and then it was still the demon that killed the martial artist and the Heavenly Master…

This was the demon imitating them.

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen perceived for a moment and felt that there were three or four more frozen corpses climbing rapidly in the direction of the mountain’s oblique wall. These frozen corpses were probably originally ambushing at the end of this canyon. They did not choose to go forward, but chose to climb the mountain, so those frozen corpses came from a distance.

There was a familiar power on these frozen corpses.

She perceived for a moment.

She felt it.

Dragon qi!

There was actually dragon qi on the frozen corpses!

Although the dragon qi was in a mess and could not cast any spells, it already had an extremely powerful soul-suppressing power.

This made Immortal Aunt Yaozhen feel a little terrified.

Because, she had never heard of a demon being able to cast “soul suppression.” Wasn’t this a characteristic of a Heavenly Master?

The next moment, another incredible thought rushed into her mind: could it be that martial artists were learning from demons, and some special demons were learning from Heavenly Masters?

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen glanced at the frozen corpse, and then at the Heavenly Master’s Seal she had pressed out, and the few more frozen corpses that were climbing rapidly in the direction of the oblique wall.

She made a decisive decision and was about to withdraw the Heavenly Master’s Seal that was pressing on the golden-bodied Bodhisattva and smash it back to save Ning Xuan.

Even if a mere frozen corpse had some dragon qi, she still didn’t take it seriously.

As for what to do with the golden-bodied demon later, she hadn’t thought about it yet.

She could only talk about it later.

And just then, a whisper came to her ear.

“Don’t move.”

After Ning Xuan said this, he directly broke free from the frozen corpse.

Although the power of this frozen corpse was strong, 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 immediately grew wildly, and a golden-bodied Bodhisattva of more than ten zhang appeared on the half-wall of the cliff. He had to quickly kill the Incense-Stealing Mouse, so as not to reduce the success rate for the sake of deliberately hiding.

A second golden-bodied Bodhisattva appeared.

The Incense-Stealing Mouse, which was being pressed by the Heavenly Master’s Seal at the top of the cliff, was stunned for a moment, in disbelief, and its eyes and mouth were wide open.

Ning Xuan did not pause in the slightest, and all his actions were done in one go.

The Bodhisattva pinched a flower, and the flying knife was the flower. A dense and sharp cry suddenly sounded in the air.

Then he lowered his hand.

Swallow’s Tide!

The flying knife accurately pierced through the stomach of the golden-bodied Bodhisattva at the top of the cliff, bringing out a spray of beautiful blood. It was the Incense-Stealing Mouse that had been blown into a blood mist.

“Go!”

Ning Xuan flew towards the light ball in mid-air.

Immortal Aunt Yaozhen’s head was buzzing, and she felt that everything in front of her was like a dream. But after she withdrew the Heavenly Master’s Seal, she still ignorantly used “earth-遁 (dì dùn – earth escape)” and took Ning Xuan far away.
