Chapter 153: Chapter 58: Wiping Out the Demons

Chi Yu cradled a Yanling Saber, only a foot long, in her arms. Corpses littered the ground around her.

Killing these Demon Cultivators was far too easy for her.

Most Demon Cultivators’ Cultivation Techniques originated from Celestial Demons. Chi Yu, possessing the Profound Yin Blood Demon Bloodline, was naturally superior to them.

When these Demon Cultivators tried to attack her, all Chi Yu had to do was look at them. Under the oppressive might of a high-level Celestial Demon like the Profound Yin Blood Demon, the Demonic Qi inside their bodies went wild as if meeting a natural predator, completely losing control. They could only offer their necks to be slain.

Chi Yu raised the toy-like Yanling Saber in her hand and effortlessly lopped off their heads, like harvesting ripe fruit.

Billowing Evil Qi was drawn in by the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture and refined by Chi Yu using her Magical Power.

In moments, the joyous banquet celebrating Hua Doushu’s birthday had become a funeral feast. The last surviving elder of the Lengquan Three Friends was frozen in place, apparently scared stiff.

’You think you can escape?’

Yang Jing flicked his finger. A dot of greenish-yellow Celestial True Gang shot out, striking the high platform and effortlessly piercing straight through it.

In the shadows beneath the platform, an ethereal Yin Death Demon was instantly blasted in two. The True Gang ignited it, turning it to ash.

From the two corpses on the platform, two more ethereal Yin Death Demons shot out in alarm. Once Outer Celestial Demons like them invaded the Nine Heavens World, they were like maggots clinging to bone. Local Cultivators could, at best, only expel them; completely annihilating them was exceedingly difficult.

But now, the two Yin Death Demons clearly sensed their companion had completely vanished, without a single trace left behind.

How could this not terrify them? They had planned to lie in wait within the corpses and launch a vicious sneak attack when Yang Jing came to loot the bodies. Now, their only thought was to escape.

These Celestial Demons were related to his Dao Listening Foundation Establishment. How could Yang Jing possibly give them a chance to escape? Two more streams of Celestial True Gang shot out, completely erasing them from the world.

For Celestial Demons with physical bodies, like the Three Corpses Bone Demon, Yang Jing would have had to expend considerable effort to kill them. But dealing with ethereal and formless Celestial Demons like the Yin Death Demon was as easy as turning over his hand.

Only then did the old man’s husk collapse to the ground, as if boneless.

His Essence Qi had long been devoured by the Yin Death Demon. The only reason he could still move normally was because he was being propped up by the Yin Death Demon’s Demonic Qi.

Yang Jing walked over and severed the heads of all three, placing them in an Ice Silk Bag for proper preservation to prevent them from rotting beyond recognition. The Merit Points for a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator within the Sect were 1,500. For comparison, a Foundation Establishment Pill, something Independent Cultivators yearned for, only cost 2,000 Merit Points.

As for a Foundation Establishment Demon, the Merit Points were only 1,000.

Most Demon Cultivators employed bizarre, sinister, and treacherous methods, making them far trickier to deal with than Demons. Thus, their bounties were also much higher.

Every Demon Cultivator present was slaughtered. Their heads were cut off and stacked in a small pile.

Yang Jing wasn’t as meticulous with these Qi Cultivation Demon Cultivators; he simply tossed all their heads into his Storage Bag.

He then channeled his Magical Power, conjuring a Fire Dragon of Bing Fire from the void. It roared as it incinerated all the corpses, not even sparing the Demon Blood and Demon Qi that had seeped into the soil.

With so many Demon Cultivators having died here in such a short time, if the area wasn’t cleansed, some terrifying Demon Monster might emerge in a few days.

Ji Feng had also freed the Cultivators and mortals who had been tied to trees and locked in cages. The mortals were scared senseless, still curled up on the ground with dazed, twisted faces.

Several of the children dropped to their knees and began kowtowing nonstop.

In the Liao Kingdom, the reputation of the Lengquan Three Friends was enough to make crying children fall silent. Yet today, this Daoist had slaughtered them as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. The children nearly mistook Yang Jing for a Golden Core Immortal.

“Iron Head, give them each a Clear Heart Pill. See if they can regain their senses.”

Yang Jing issued the command while looking at the dazed mortals, then summoned his Five Clouds Pouch and drew all the children inside.

The Clear Heart Pill was a Tier One Upper Grade Spirit Pill. After taking one, a person could slightly resist a Celestial Demon’s hallucinatory powers and maintain their true self under the corrosion of Demonic Qi.

After being fed the Clear Heart Pills, the mortals’ cloudy eyes cleared, and they instantly regained their senses. They immediately recalled the horrific sight of Demon Cultivators eating people and began to wail uncontrollably.

Yang Jing said no more. He urged the Five Clouds Pouch onward, pulling them inside as well, and flew to a nearby county town, where he dropped off the mortals. When passing a Marketplace, he entrusted the young children to a Sect Steward there.

Yu Jingming’s parents had been searching for him for several days. After receiving the message, they rushed to the Marketplace immediately.

“Ming’Er, oh, my Ming’Er! Do you have any idea? Your mother’s heart was about to give out these past few days!”

A richly dressed woman saw Yu Jingming and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face like rain. The father beside her also looked gaunt, clearly having had almost no rest for days.

Because Yang Jing had only shown his Sect Jade Token to prove his identity before handing the children over to the Steward, without explaining any of the details, the Steward was also very curious about what had happened to them.

“Mother, it was Hua Doushu of the Lengquan Three Friends. She was celebrating her 150th birthday, and to curry favor with her, some Demon Cultivators abducted me to be offered as a blood sacrifice.”

Upon hearing the name Lengquan Three Friends, everyone present gasped. The two Foundation Establishment Clans they had annihilated were even on good terms with the Shuijing Yu Family. This gave a glimpse into how deeply they were feared and how great the shock was.

The father’s joyful expression instantly turned to one of sorrow, while the woman just held her son tighter. The Lengquan Three Friends were known to be vengeful. Their son had been targeted. He was lucky to have been rescued this time, but what if the Lengquan Three Friends still held a grudge? What would they do then?

Their family’s patriarch was only one person; he couldn’t possibly fight all three of the Lengquan Three Friends.

Even the Marketplace’s Steward began to worry. The Lengquan Three Friends had appeared near the Marketplace with a group of Demon Cultivators under their command. What if, on a whim, they decided to attack the Marketplace?

He was already thinking about requesting aid from the Liao Kingdom’s Royal Family.

“Just when I thought I was surely going to die, an Immortal from the Taixu Sword Sect drew his sword and killed Hua Doushu. Afterward, the other two members of the Lengquan Three Friends also fell to his blade. Not a single Demon Fiend on the mountain escaped; they were all slain.”

“But that Senior Brother’s Jade Token was clearly from the Five Elements True Spirit Sect,” the Steward said, somewhat skeptically.

If Yu Mingjing had said the Senior Brother used a Thunder Technique to wipe out the Lengquan Three Friends, he might have believed it. But a Sword Technique? Impossible.

“Oh, my son! The fright has made you delirious!”

Hearing that the Lengquan Three Friends were dead, the woman was first overjoyed. But after hearing the Steward’s words, she started crying again.
