Chapter 43 Slaying Demons, the work of demons?
Half a day later.
Outside of Qingzhou Prefecture.
The White Bone Mountain, located dozens of miles away, is situated in a secluded small valley.
The area is covered with lush vegetation and is located in the shady part of the mountain peaks year-round, where there is dampness and miasma.
Deep within the valley.
A massive, black rat demon, nearly four feet long, escaped from its cave, which was filled with poisonous energy.
But as soon as they came out of the cave...
Then a huge white claw descended from the sky and firmly grasped the rat demon. Lu Ling then cut off the rat demon's right ear, which alone could serve as proof of the merit of slaying the demon.
The last time I killed the Mist-Hidden Leopard was because its head was useful; it could be used to extract antidote materials for the poison.
But this rat demon is of no use; just cut off its right ear.
This is the fourth one.
Lin Zhou, who had transformed into a silver-winged flying leopard, glanced at Lu Ling beside him and spoke.
"Yes, Master!"
"Just one more to exchange for an Iron Medal of Merit."
"With this merit, one can become an outer disciple of one of the top sects."
"With your talent, Master, you will surely become a powerful expert in the Gang Jin realm among the top sects in the future."
Lu Ling spoke respectfully.
"Um."
Lin Zhou nodded slowly.
These demons hiding outside the city are indeed quite adept at concealing themselves.
If they were just ordinary martial artists, or even those at the Transformation Realm or Core Formation Realm, they would have no chance of finding the hiding place of these demons.
Especially this rat demon, which has carved out countless passages underground. If Lin Zhou hadn't been able to use his ability to control evil spirits and fill the underground cave passages with poisonous evil spirits, this rat demon would never have risked its life to escape.
Swish!
Lin Zhou looked at the red arrow in front of him, which changed once again.
Its large silver wings flapped suddenly, and as it took flight, one of its claws hooked onto Lu Ling beside it, carrying her into the air and heading straight for the hiding place of the fifth demon.
After flying over several mountain peaks, they saw a two-headed wolf drinking water in a mountain stream. The wolf was covered in dark fur and smelled of a mixture of blood and gore, from both human warriors and wild beasts.
Upon seeing this, Lin Zhou's pupils constricted sharply. He then folded his silver wings and began to swoop down from the sky like a silver arrow, his target the two-headed demon wolf drinking water above the mountain stream.
Ordinary demon soldier realm.
For Lin Zhou now, dealing with them is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
"Mysterious Feather Escape!"
In an instant, Lin Zhou's body was covered by a light silver color, and his speed immediately increased by more than double. Lu Ling threw him into the forest below while he used the Xuan Yu Escape technique.
At such a height, it would be impossible for a master of internal energy to be killed by falling from the air.
Unless a master of internal energy is thrown from a height of hundreds or even close to a thousand meters, it is impossible for them to be killed by falling.
However, if a powerful expert reaches the Core Formation Realm, their internal energy is perfectly balanced. If they cultivate a lightness skill, there is no possibility of them being killed by a fall. They can even use their own internal energy to glide far away.
Swish!
A silver streak flashed through the air and then reached the top of the two-headed wolf drinking water.
By the time the two-headed wolf sensed the danger, it was already too late.
As they tried to flee in panic, Lin Zhou swung his sharp claws and chopped off their heads.
Bang bang!
Two heads fell onto the rocky beach beside the stream with two muffled thuds. The deep blue blood that oozed from the heads quickly stained a section of the stream below a pale blue.
"This two-headed wolf has two heads, and both had their right ears cut off. Does that count as merit for the two demon soldiers?"
Lin Zhou looked down at the two wolf heads on the rocky beach and asked Lu Ling, who had just flown over.
"Master, Lu Ling doesn't know either."
"However, those experts in the Core Formation Realm in the Demon Suppression Army must have their own ways of judging these demon soldiers. They must have seen the two-headed wolf race before. After seeing the wolf's ears, they may be able to identify the two-headed wolf immediately."
Lu Ling paused for a moment, then began to analyze.
"That makes sense."
Lin Zhou nodded slowly.
"Walk."
"Skin this wolf and return to the prefectural city."
Lin Zhou spoke up.
The demon soldier's pelt is extremely valuable and impervious to swords and spears.
Unless you use internal energy, these fur coats are the most beloved fur garments of the children of the great families in the city, representing their status as members of the family.
My current cultivation level is only at the Bone Forging stage, and I still have many places where I need money, so naturally I need to save up more money.
If you don't want the demon soldier's skin, others in these mountains will naturally find it and sell it.
After Lu Ling finished processing the wolf skin, she was carrying several animal skins on her back, forming a bulging bag.
Immediately, Lin Zhou flapped his silver wings, casually hooked Lu Ling with one of his claws, and headed straight for the prefectural city.
Lin Zhou did not plan to exchange for demon-slaying merits with the Demon Suppression Army in the next few days, but would wait a few days before going.
After all, they had just exchanged their demon-slaying merits, and now they had killed five ordinary demon soldiers in a single day. Such strength would probably require mobilizing a large clan and many experts with hidden and transformed internal energy to achieve this.
Furthermore, the precise location where each demon soldier is hiding is also required.
Such a large force could not possibly be accomplished in such a short time.
We will go in seven days.
Lu Ling, on the other hand, returned to the Lu family clan.
...
The next day.
It was midday.
One of the two elders from the Gao family, who had reached the Transformation Realm, was carrying a bamboo cage. Inside the cage was a strange white insect. The insect resembled a cricket, but it had a snail-like antenna on its head, making it look very bizarre.
The alien insect was emitting a very fast frequency of vibration, producing bursts of sound.
When the two elders from the Gao family, both at the Transformation Realm, saw Gao Du's headless corpse on the ground, they both frowned, took out their weapons, and looked around warily.
At the same time, one of the elders, who had reached the Transformation Realm, unleashed a burst of energy that stunned the fragrant insects inside the bamboo cage.
"Takato is dead!!"
"He's one of the top three most talented young people in our family."
"Our Gao family's genius has died here so quietly?"
Gao Xuanfeng's pupils contracted as he looked at Gao Du's corpse. He could immediately imagine the furious look on the family head's face when he learned of this news.
"Gao Du was killed."
"It seems to be the work of demons."
At this moment, another elder of the Gao family, Gao Xuanzhi, looked at the pile of scattered pieces of meat on the ground and the several large leopard footprints on the ground with a solemn expression.
These footprints still carry this scent.
Embrace the elixir!
After Gao Xuanzhi approached and sensed it for a while, he immediately felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and a sense of fear instantly enveloped his entire body.
