The appearance of this thousand-year-old fox demon, Hu San Tainai, completely helped us escape danger.
She even struck a beam of green light that entered my forehead, giving me, who was in a daze, a slight resurgence of spirit.
The terrifying aura of the demon king, with a hundred-meter radius completely controlled by Hu San Tainai.
Her fox eyes swept across, and then she let out a fox roar:
"Awooo!"
That fox cry instantly resounded across the battlefield and spread to all directions.
The surging demonic energy emanating from her body directly formed a fierce fox phantom behind her.
The scene, let alone fighting Hu San Tainai, just looking at it made one's heart tremble with fear.
Especially those fleshless monsters, after hearing this roar, they all cowered on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
This was the pressure and deterrence of a demon king.
The surrounding demon cultivators also changed their expressions, filled with dread.
Hu San Tainai fixed her gaze on the last remaining demon cultivator.
That demon cultivator had a stronger cultivation and was the most powerful evil cultivator in this area.
We couldn't discern his depth.
But it was likely that he was no match for Hu San Tainai...
I, Old Mo, and Xia Qiuxia had regrouped.
We were all injured, but our eyes were bloodshot with killing intent.
Exchanging a glance, we didn't say a superfluous word.
In unison, we shouted:
"Kill!"
Raising our long swords and battle axes, we charged towards the last dozen ghost-slave corpse monsters before us.
The white fox, Xiao Mei, stayed by our sides, providing protection.
Coupled with Hu San Tainai's deterrence, the strength of these ghost-slave corpse monsters was severely suppressed.
As we charged forward, we encountered little resistance.
We simply hacked at them, not even needing to use incantations.
Xiao Mei's sharp fox claws slashed down repeatedly.
Whether it was ghosts or corpse monsters, they were torn apart with fierce precision.
Uncle-Master also quickly dealt with the demon cultivator he was fighting.
The divine summoning technique had finally reached its limit.
He was now staggering and panting.
Fortunately, Yunxia Gu broke free and was now supporting Uncle-Master as they retreated towards us.
At the same time, a piercing scream came from the front.
The last powerful demon cultivator of the Black Devil Sect holding our line was smashed flying by Hu San Tainai with a single blow.
His body flew ten meters away, rolling seven or eight times on the ground before finally stopping in front of the three of us.
Seeing this, the three of us's eyes lit up.
Could this be a stroke of luck delivered to our doorstep?
Could this demon cultivator be saved?
Obviously impossible.
I shouted:
"Kill him!"
As I said this, I raised my sword and swung it at the demon cultivator's head.
Old Mo and Qiuxia, without needing my shout, had already raised their weapons and were preparing to strike.
In an instant, all three of our weapons descended upon the demon cultivator.
That demon cultivator had a high cultivation, and because his strength couldn't be determined,
it was absolute that his cultivation was above the Dao Body realm.
But now, severely wounded and near death, we had seized an opportunity.
Seeing us attack, the demon cultivator's face was filled with terror.
With blood in his mouth, he tried to dodge and block.
However, he discovered that his body couldn't move at all, as his spine had been broken by Hu San Tainai.
"No..."
In his panic, the demon cultivator uttered a hoarse cry.
With three "swish" sounds, blood splattered.
The weapons in the hands of the three of us all struck the demon cultivator.
I cleaved his head with my sword, Old Mo chopped his neck with his axe, and Qiuxia stabbed his chest with her sword.
It could be said that all were fatal blows.
The demon cultivator's voice abruptly stopped, and his body twitched instinctively.
Amidst the "sizzling" of blood splattering, he died with resentment.
However, the three of us hadn't stopped.
This was a demon cultivator, and even if his physical body died, his soul remained a threat.
Once their souls escaped and weathered the period of weakness after separation from the body,
they would transform into ghost cultivators of equivalent cultivation, still posing a threat.
In our line of work, killing someone means killing them twice.
To cut the grass, you must remove the roots.
Seeing that the demon cultivator was dead, I shouted again:
"Take out the talismans, guard the corpse!"
Old Mo and Qiuxia didn't hesitate either, each taking out talismans and holding them in their hands.
Talismans were the best choice for dealing with the souls of demon cultivators guarding corpses.
Soon, we saw the demon cultivator's soul slowly crawl out of his dead body.
Before the demon cultivator had fully separated from his body.
The three of us opened our eyes, raised the talismans in our hands, and unleashed them all.
In unison, we chanted a talisman command:
"Hurry, as per the imperial decree, break!"
Three yellow talismans, three decrees.
The yellow talismans flashed, their runes glowing, and yellow light erupted.
This was followed by three "boom boom boom" sounds.
The demon cultivator's soul, which had just emerged from its body, immediately let out a惨叫 (cǎnjiào - scream of misery) and wailed.
"Ah..."
Seeing the demon cultivator's ghost only screaming and not dissipating, the three of us were shocked.
It didn't die, this demon cultivator was indeed formidable.
Amidst our surprise, we raised our swords to deliver the finishing blow.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Mei pounced forward with a "howl."
Before any of us could react, she tackled the demon cultivator's ghost and bit towards its head.
Although the demon cultivator's ghost was powerful, its soul had just separated from its body and was still in a weak state.
Moreover, after being hit by three talismans, it was even weaker.
It was no match for Xiao Mei.
As a result, Xiao Mei's bite caused the demon cultivator's soul to explode.
At the same time, Xiao Mei took a mighty gulp.
The wisps of soul essence were completely inhaled into Xiao Mei's nose and mouth, integrating into her body...
