Chapter 5, Level 7 Chapter 41: A Trial
In Cheng'an Prefecture, the Yufeng family's mansion was completely silent, with no strangers around.
"My lords, be careful. That devil is very powerful. Nearly a hundred people in my Yufeng family, including the servants, were killed by that devil. The talisman that protects the house only injured her." Master Yufeng, along with several clansmen, looked nervously into the mansion.
"Don't worry, leave it to us."
"It's easy to deal with a new demon."
The three demon hunters were still very confident.
They were members of the official Demon Subduing Division, mainly responsible for the surrounding area, so they were the first to arrive when they received the news. Among the three of them, there were experienced old men and relatively young newcomers. With the cooperation of each other, they were confident in dealing with the newly born demon.
"I'll help you two to keep the situation under control. A new demon is the best place for training." The burly demon-slayer said.
"Thank you, Brother An."
"Brother An, just watch. The two of us can easily defeat this demon together."
The three of them walked deeper into the mansion.
call!
Suddenly, a layer of faint blood-colored mist appeared in the mansion.
"Something's wrong, be careful." The burly demon hunter frowned slightly, and took out a magic weapon with his left hand. The two younger demon hunters were also extremely serious.
…
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, the woman's shrill laughter resounded throughout the house and also reached outside the house, causing Master Yufeng and others who were waiting outside to tremble in fear.
"Hurry up and take a look inside to see what's going on." Master Yufeng urged.
A brave nephew in the clan jumped up to the top of a big tree nearby and looked into the house.
The nephew suddenly opened his eyes and saw the bodies of the three demon-conquering officers of the Demon-Conquering Division. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Dead, all dead."
"Who died?" Master Yufeng asked.
The nephew jumped down and said, "Hurry up and leave, hurry up, the three adults are dead, their blood and flesh have been sucked dry, only three skins are left."
Master Yufeng and the others turned pale and immediately ran away.
The news that the three demon-suppressing men of the Demon-Suppressing Division acted together and were all buried in Yufeng's house also began to spread quietly.
That night.
call.
A water-colored mist descended from the sky and landed in Yufeng's house, condensing into an old man in green.
"This is my place." A faint blood-red mist spread, and a vague and slender shadow peeped at the old man in green, "Get out!"
"Little girl." The old man in green said with a smile, "You are a newly born demon, and you want to occupy this house? This is the core area of the city. Do you think those demon hunters in the city will always tolerate you?"
"This is my place. Anyone who comes in will die." The slender shadow stared at the old man in green. The invisible sense of oppression made her afraid, so she didn't take action.
The old man in green looked at him and nodded slightly: "A newly born demon has the top strength of a human demon. I believe that after a year or two of tempering in the human world, he will definitely achieve the realm of an earthly demon."
"What kind of demon is this?" The slender shadow became even angrier, "Hurry up and leave."
"I am a patrol officer under the command of the Lord of Dongming Mountain." The old man in green said with a smile, "I see that you are a promising talent, so I specially come to invite you to join Dongming Mountain."
"What is Dongming Mountain?" the slender shadow whispered.
The old man in green laughed and said, "This world belongs to us demons! The common people are like cattle and sheep, we can slaughter them at will! And our Dongming Mountain... is the sky of Cheng'an Prefecture! The life and death of the people of Cheng'an Prefecture are controlled by us."
"Where is the demon hunter?" said the slender shadow.
The old man in green was slightly choked, and said in defense: "The demon-suppressing people have fought against our Dongming Mountain for thousands of years, but they can't shake our Dongming Mountain. Little girl, in the entire Cheng'an Prefecture, most of the powerful demons are in Dongming Mountain! You have a future only if you join Dongming Mountain. Otherwise... you will definitely be killed by the demon-suppressing people."
"You are afraid of the Demon Subduer, but I am not. Get out of here." The slender shadow pressed on again, and the blood-colored mist around them began to thicken.
The old man in green frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "If you don't suffer a little, you won't know how powerful the demon-conquering people are. That's all."
call.
The old man in green turned into a wisp of water-colored mist, quietly flew into the sky, and disappeared.
The graceful shadow then condensed into a beautiful woman. The woman looked coldly at the sky and then walked back into the depths of the mansion.
…
early morning.
In the back garden, Xu Jingming was sitting in a pavilion. There was a golden bead suspended above his left hand. The magical power permeated the bead and was carving dense runes on the surface of the bead.
"If I can't collect any precious materials, I can only use gold to refine magic weapons to subdue demons." Xu Jingming said secretly. He was indeed very leisurely in the demon-subduing world. Almost all his energy was focused on "The Yuanchu Star Hypothesis Light Ray Chapter". With more insights, his understanding of several spells would also become deeper.
In addition to practicing, he also began to refine magical instruments, which would make it easier for him to deal with demons.
"I've been in the city for almost two months, and I haven't killed a single demon!" Xu Jingming shook his head slightly, "There's nothing I can do. Official demon hunters and some local tyrants are always the fastest to get the news. By the time I get the news, it's too late."
"I don't have time to rob the weak demons. The famous big demons are all at the level of earth demons, and none of them are easy to mess with."
"Well, in a few months, my strength will be further improved. Then I will go directly to deal with the earth demon." Xu Jingming was also very patient. Recently, he was immersed in the comprehension of "The Chapter of Light". This is one of the supreme inheritances of mankind in the universe. It is indeed vast and endless. The feeling of making progress all the time makes Xu Jingming obsessed.
"Master, Master." A surprised shout came from a distance.
Xu Jingming turned around and saw Wu Qi with a happy face.
"Seventh Uncle, what's wrong?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Demon." Wu Qi said excitedly, "We found news about the demon."
Poor Uncle Qi had been in the city for nearly two months, and he often went to teahouses, theaters and other crowded places to listen to news from all directions. But every time he heard the news on the street, the weak demon had already been dealt with.
Finally, he heard a valuable piece of information today, and Uncle Qi was naturally excited.
"Where are you?" Xu Jingming dodged and came to Wu Qi's side, asking, "Are you still alive?"
"In the south of the city, in the Yufeng family mansion, it is said that a concubine turned into a demon after her death!" Wu Qi immediately told all the information he had found out, "The demon is very powerful. Yesterday, the government got the news and sent three demon hunters to the place. But not long after they entered, their blood and flesh were sucked dry and they turned into three skin bags."
"Official demon-suppressors?" Xu Jingming was surprised. "I heard that the official demon-suppressors usually work in groups of three! Each county in Cheng'an Prefecture usually has three demon-suppressors stationed there."
"yes."
Wu Qi nodded, "Officially, the three demon-suppressors acted at the same time and cooperated with each other. Even if they couldn't defeat the enemy, they could usually escape unscathed. Who would have thought that they would run into a tough opponent this time? The three demon-suppressors died silently in the Yufeng family's house. This demon is very powerful, and the Yufeng family has also spread the news that whoever can kill the demon will be rewarded with 30,000 taels of silver."
"I'll go take a look." Xu Jingming said and walked out of the mansion.
"Master, I'll go with you." Wu Qi followed immediately. After all, the Master was too young, and he was still worried. In this world, the Master was the person he cared about the most.
Xu Jingming nodded and smiled, "Seventh Uncle, you will be outside the house at that time and you are not allowed to go in."
"Don't worry, I'll do whatever you say." Wu Qilian nodded.
The two of them then headed straight for the south of the city.
Both of them were extremely powerful and walked very fast. In just a few minutes they arrived outside the Yufeng family's mansion in the south of the city.
"There are so many people." Xu Jingming saw twenty or thirty people gathered outside the mansion.
When he got closer, Xu Jingming realized that there were 20 to 30 people from the Yufeng family, a small number of demon-suppressing people, and some brave people who came to watch the fun. When they noticed Xu Jingming and Wu Qi coming over, they just glanced at them and didn't care.
"My lords, the demon in this house is very powerful." Master Yufeng said solemnly again, "Three demon hunters died yesterday. Two demon hunters went in with sufficient preparation and escaped with serious injuries. In my opinion... if you all join forces, we will have a better chance of success."
"Join hands?"
There were many demon-suppressing people present, and they were muttering to themselves.
If they join forces and kill the demon hunter, who will refine it then?
'Refine the devil in the mind' is the goal pursued by demon hunters .
"How about I give it a try?" Xu Jingming asked. He didn't want to delay.
"We've been here for a long time, big brother, let's go in and try." The two skinny demon hunters looked almost identical, like twins. They looked at each other and rushed into the house.
"This is the second group that went in this morning."
"You are so brave, young man."
"Yesterday's official demon-suppressing team consisted of three people, and this morning's Chu Guardians were two people. They were all very well prepared, but none of them had a good ending. This demon... is not ordinary."
"It may take a demon-suppressing person at the fourth level to deal with that demon."
The demon hunters spoke in a low voice.
"Um?"
An old man in gray standing in the corner changed his expression, stepped on the ground silently, and went deep into the house.
"Boom~~~~" Huge branches were spreading and entangled in the house, accompanied by explosions.
There were golden runes in Xu Jingming's pupils, and he could clearly see a bloody and ferocious figure inside. He nodded slightly and thought to himself, "Although it's a bit more difficult, it's still only at the level of a human-demon."
Just a few breaths.
call.
The old man in gray emerged from the ground outside the house, holding two demon-subduing men, one in each hand.
The two demon-suppressing men were in a miserable state. One had a shriveled left arm, with the flesh and blood sucked out. The other had a huge wound torn on his chest. Both of them looked at the old man with shame: "Teacher."
"It's good enough as long as you save your life." The gray-clothed old man shook his head slightly and looked at the other demon hunters. "This demon must be dealt with by a master of the fourth realm."
"A demon-suppressing person in the fourth realm?"
The other demon hunters present were somewhat distressed.
In reality, one must be an eighth-level starry sky life form to reach the fourth realm in the Demon-Suppressing World!
In the city, whether it is the government, several major families, or some sect branches, there are similar masters. But most of these masters rarely take action, and usually they take action against the earth demons.
These seventh-level star creatures are much more numerous and more eager to refine their minds, but it is obvious that the demon this time is too strong.
"Uncle Qi, you wait here. I'll go in and try." Seeing the fearful looks on the faces of those demon-suppressing men, Xu Jingming instructed Wu Qi.
"Sir, may I ask your name?" Master Yufeng asked immediately. If someone dared to go in at this time, he must be either reckless or very powerful!
"Wu Ming." Xu Jingming nodded.
He still wants to be famous.
There's no way. It's hard to find the devil because he's not famous enough.
"It's Mr. Wu." Suddenly, two demon hunters came to greet him politely.
"Who are you?" Xu Jingming looked at the two of them in confusion.
"Mr. Wu's name is well known in our Demon Subduing Division." The two demon subduers were very polite. "Because three of our brothers died in the house yesterday, we are here today to investigate the situation again."
"The Demon-Suppressing Division, is it known to everyone?" Xu Jingming was surprised. He had only dealt with a demon on the way to the city, and had never done it again since then.
Once the Demon-Suppressing Division got the information about him, did it spread it to everyone inside?
Xu Jingming nodded slightly and walked into the house.
"Who is this Wu Ming? Is he very powerful?" Most of the demon-hunting people in the city know him.
"He should be a demon-conqueror at the fourth level." said an official demon-conqueror.
"A demon-suppressing person in the fourth realm?"
Everyone looked at Xu Jingming entering the house.
"You devil, do you want to surrender or do you want me to take action?" A voice echoed throughout the mansion.
"You demon-slayer, get out of my place right now! If you leave now, I won't hurt you. Otherwise... hehe, prepare to die." The woman's voice also echoed in the house.
The demon hunters outside the house heaved a sigh of relief .
"This demon is scared."
"Before, he acted without saying anything. This time, he must have felt Mr. Wu Ming's strength."
These demon hunters were all very experienced. When they heard the female demon's voice, they felt that she was powerful but weak.
…
There were golden runes in Xu Jingming's eyes. The demonic aura in the entire mansion was completely unobstructed in front of him, and he could clearly see the bloody figure.
There was an invisible fluctuation in his eyes, directly crushing the bloody figure.
The magic of the eye!
After all, Xu Jingming had been in the city for so long that he had learned two more magics on top of the three magics he already knew. One was the "Dharma Eye Technique" and the other was the "Flying Sand Technique", which was also to make up for some of his own shortcomings.
The Dharma Eye Technique can observe the devil's breath more clearly.
If before, he could see by pouring magic power into his eyes, but the clarity was many times worse than that of the 'Magic Eye Technique'.
Especially since Xu Jingming's Dharma Eye technique has reached the level of 'great success', under the Dharma Eye, the evil spirit has nowhere to hide, and the Dharma Eye can directly unleash the impact of spiritual power.
It was because of this mental shock that the devil became afraid.
"You, the demon-conqueror, if you don't want to leave, then don't leave!" The bloody figure went crazy, "Die."
The blood-colored fog became thicker throughout the house, and wisps of blood light spread everywhere. Under Xu Jingming's magic eyes, the fog could not conceal it at all. Xu Jingming kept a close eye on the demon's true identity at all times.
"Go." Xu Jingming stretched out his left hand, and nineteen golden beads were suspended above his palm, each of which had densely packed and extremely complex runes.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!!!!!!!!
The nineteen golden beads immediately turned into nineteen golden rays of light, all shooting towards the bloody figure.
The flying sand technique recorded in "The Demon Refining Scroll of Ten Thousand Stars"!
Before, Xu Jingming only had one thunder method to kill the enemies. Although it was extremely powerful and had evolved to the level of the 'Five Thunder Method', it also had a shortcoming... He was not good at dealing with group attacks!
After all, even if it was the magical power of 'Five Thunder Method', the two entangled thunders would only target one enemy.
This flying sand technique is quite good at group attacks.
There is also a method for refining the magical weapon 'Golden Sand Pearl'. When used with the magical weapon, the power can be increased even more.
"Puff puff puff!!!" The bloody figure was incredibly fast, but it was no match for the flying sand technique which was based on the "Chapter of Light". The nineteen rays of golden light were so fast that the bloody figure could hardly dodge, and they pierced through her body again and again.
Under the Dharma Eye, the demon could not hide, and her speed was restrained, so she could only allow the nineteen golden lights to penetrate her body again and again.
"Ahhh." She let out a painful roar and condensed into her true form. Every time she tried to rush towards Xu Jingming, she was pierced by nineteen golden lights, leaving a large number of holes.
Xu Jingming looked at her from a distance, also testing the power of the Flying Sand Technique.
"Who?" Xu Jingming suddenly shouted and looked towards the distant corner. His magic eyes had already discovered that a wisp of demonic energy had quietly entered the house.
"We have Dongming Mountain protecting this little girl." A voice resounded throughout the mansion, obviously full of confidence and arrogance, and the water-colored aura went straight to the devil woman.
"Just you?"
A cold light flashed in Xu Jingming's eyes, and he made a seal with his right hand.
Supernatural power, Five Thunder Technique!
“Boom!”
In broad daylight, thunder struck from the clear sky!
One was dazzling white, the other was dark and restrained, the two thunders entangled and struck down from the sky, directly striking the water-colored evil energy.
