At the critical moment, I cast the second spell of the Qiankun True Method; the "Chi" character spell, and the sword-controlling technique.
Piercing Huang Qiniang's body.
The pierced old monster, Huang Qiniang, trembled violently.
She lowered her head slightly to look, and with a "clang," she fell to the ground.
It struggled a few times, but began to cough up blood in large mouthfuls.
Eventually, its body arched like a mantis shrimp.
Then it suddenly retracted, falling heavily to the ground, without any further reaction.
Huang Qiniang's demonic energy also rapidly dissipated.
Along with a wisp of green mist disappearing, Huang Qiniang revealed her true form, a massive old yellow weasel.
My peach wood sword was piercing through its chest and back.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The hard training of these past days had finally paid off.
Although I couldn't fully master the "Chi" character spell yet, it was fortunate that there were no mishaps at the critical moment.
"Brother Qin, you're amazing! You can actually control a sword now."
Old Mo shouted in surprise, running over.
I smiled and said:
"Just a lucky success..."
"Hahaha! Don't be modest..."
Old Mo said with a laugh, putting a hand on my shoulder.
Xiao Mei and Xia Qiuxi also followed.
Xia Qiuxi looked at me with some surprise, possibly astonished by the sword-controlling technique of the "Chi" character spell.
Xiao Mei, however, ran ahead to look at the corpse of the old monster.
Daoist Master Yunxia also stood before Huang Qiniang's corpse.
Looking coldly at the body.
"Old Mo, let's go take a look."
I said.
Old Mo also grunted, and then walked towards Huang Qiniang's corpse.
However, before we could get close.
We saw Daoist Master Yunxia, who was by the corpse, suddenly swing her whisk and give a tug towards the empty space beside her.
She let out a low shout:
"Where do you think you're going!"
The whisk made a resounding "snap."
The next moment, we saw Daoist Master Yunxia's whisk directly pull a ghost from the void.
The ghost's neck was entangled by the whisk, its face filled with terror.
With a scream, it landed directly on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, this ghost was a monster with a human form and a beast's body.
"It's Huang Qiniang's soul!"
I exclaimed in surprise.
I quickly approached, recalling how Huang Jiuniang's soul had transformed into a demonic soul and pestered my home after she was killed in the Demon Cave's Joyful Tower.
It had almost harmed my grandmother.
Huang Qiniang, lying on the ground, looked at us, especially Daoist Master Yunxia, with a look of intense fear.
"Abbess, spare my life, Abbess, spare my life.
This little demon is already dead, and now only wishes to descend to the underworld for reincarnation. Please, Abbess, be merciful and spare my life."
As Huang Qiniang's ghost spoke, it knelt on the ground and began to kowtow to Daoist Master Yunxia.
I frowned, remaining silent for a moment.
Old Mo and Xia Qiuxi also looked at Daoist Master Yunxia, waiting for her decision.
After all, she was the strongest here.
However, Xiao Mei, who was nearby, spoke up at this moment.
"We can't let her go, sob sob!"
As she spoke, she revealed a fierce expression.
Hearing Xiao Mei speak, I also said to Daoist Master Yunxia:
"Senior, I killed this monster's sister before.
After her sister died, she transformed into a demonic soul and harmed my grandmother.
Please, senior, cut the weeds and eliminate the roots to prevent future trouble."
I stated plainly.
I'm not some saint.
As for going to reincarnate, I don't believe it at all.
Killing them, or leaving a future threat for myself.
I prefer the former.
Senior Yunxia heard me speak and looked at me.
Just as she was about to speak, Huang Qiniang turned to me and began to kowtow incessantly.
"Abbess, spare my life, Abbess, spare my life! This little demon was momentarily confused and made a grave mistake.
Now that this little demon has lost its life, please, Abbess, be merciful and let me have a chance at reincarnation.
Even if I have to suffer in the underworld, this little demon is willing.
Please, Abbess, don't kill me..."
Huang Qiniang kept kowtowing, looking pitiful.
Anyone else seeing this might have felt pity and let her go.
Even Xia Qiuxi, Daoist Master Yunxia's disciple.
Her eyebrows were furrowed at this moment, and she looked towards her master, Daoist Master Yunxia.
Clearly, this woman was not ruthless enough.
She didn't say anything, but her expression showed pity.
As for Old Mo and Xiao Mei, they both looked solemn.
Xiao Mei, of the fox tribe, had a blood feud with this branch of the weasel tribe, the yellow weasels.
Old Mo was chuunibyo, but not foolish.
He clearly understood the dangers of these demonic entities.
He would not be swayed by her words in the slightest.
As for me, I had not a shred of pity.
Because my master often said: in our line of work, one cannot have the slightest trace of mercy.
If you kill, kill cleanly.
If you do something, do it thoroughly, dig out the roots, and cut off the grass.
I sneered:
"From the day you started harming people, you should have foreseen this end."
After speaking, I raised my peach wood sword and prepared to act.
Seeing that I had no intention of letting her go, Huang Qiniang's expression darkened.
Her previously pitiful look instantly turned into a ferocious rage.
With a "roar," she opened her mouth and tried to bite me.
But Daoist Master Yunxia stood beside me, and as soon as she made this move.
Daoist Master Yunxia flicked her whisk again, entangling its neck and pulling it to the ground.
Seeing this, I drew a soul-dispelling talisman.
I slapped the talisman onto its forehead.
Huang Qiniang, seeing this, looked terrified.
"No, don't..."
But it was too late, I formed a sword finger with my left hand and shouted:
"Tai Yin Hua Gai, Di Hu Tian Men; Expedite as per law, Break!"
The talisman's light flashed.
With a "boom," Huang Qiniang, who had transformed into a demonic soul, was instantly obliterated by the talisman, vanishing without a trace...
