When she heard these words, Jin Nuoyan didn't react, but Yuan Mu'ye's face darkened.

Was this cat demon looking down on him?

Yuan Mu'ye glared at the cat demon and said, "If you really have the ability, then fight me one-on-one. What's with all the boasting?"

He hadn't thought this cat demon was an eyesore before, but now he couldn't stand the sight of him.

The cat demon glanced at him indifferently and said, "Who do you think you are, wanting to fight me? Deal with these evil ghosts first!"

After speaking, he ordered the evil ghosts to attack Yuan Mu'ye and the others.

Most of these evil ghosts were level eight or nine, so they posed no threat to Yuan Mu'ye.

Upon receiving the order, the evil ghosts didn't dare delay for a moment and immediately pounced on Yuan Mu'ye and Jin Nuoyan.

Yuan Mu'ye immediately channeled his qi and used the Frozen Palm technique on the evil ghosts.

With one palm strike, the evil ghost in the lead was instantly frozen.

Jin Nuoyan directly slashed at the frozen evil ghost with her sword, and in the blink of an eye, the evil ghost turned into碎渣渣 (suì zhā zha, shattered remains), which then transformed into a ghost stone.

One, two, Jin Nuoyan and Yuan Mu'ye coordinated perfectly.

So, in a short while, most of the evil ghosts were already dead.

As for the remaining evil ghosts, seeing how powerful the two of them were, they didn't dare to act rashly for a moment. After all, no one dared to joke with their own life.

The cat demon frowned and glanced at the man, saying in a low voice, "Boss, those evil ghosts can't kill them!"

The implication of his words was that he hoped the man would take action, because only the man could kill Jin Nuoyan and the others.

However, the man didn't seem to have any intention of taking action, nor did he respond to the cat demon.

Seeing that the man didn't speak, the cat demon became anxious. If Jin Nuoyan and the others dealt with the evil ghosts, they would attack him next. He knew that he was injured now and couldn't escape Jin Nuoyan's grasp.

"Boss, why aren't you saying anything?" the cat demon asked anxiously again.

"What do you want me to say?"

The man retorted.

The cat demon didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said, "Boss, why don't you just kill them both?"

"Since when is it your place to teach me what to do?" The man's tone was icy, sounding somewhat displeased.

Now, the cat demon completely dared not speak. The man had already made his point so clear. If he said anything more, he would seem ungrateful, and the man might even turn on him in annoyance!

Yuan Mu'ye looked at the evil ghosts surrounding them, yet不敢轻易上前 (bù gǎn qīng yì shàng qián, not daring to easily step forward), and said, "If you don't want to die, then disappear from our sight immediately!"

Although these evil ghosts were afraid, they didn't have the courage to desert their posts, because even if they escaped now, they would still die later.

The evil ghosts looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

Jin Nuoyan then looked at the cat demon, sneered, and said, "Do you still expect these evil ghosts to protect you?"

The cat demon didn't answer Jin Nuoyan's words. How would he know that these evil ghosts were so vulnerable and died so easily!

Most importantly, the man wasn't going to take action either. He didn't know what the man was thinking.

"Alright, you don't have to count on this crow spirit. If you want to leave here alive, then defeat me with your own strength," Jin Nuoyan said bluntly.

Only if the cat demon completely defeated her would she be convinced, otherwise, she wouldn't give up.

The cat demon's face darkened instantly. This woman was clearly doing it on purpose!

"I won't fight you. You might as well give up on that idea!" The cat demon's tone was resolute.

Jin Nuoyan gripped the Demon Slayer Sword tightly. She leaped up and jumped out of the encirclement of evil ghosts, arriving in front of the cat demon.

These evil ghosts were not worth mentioning in her eyes, so she didn't take them seriously at all.

The cat demon instinctively hid behind the man and said softly, "Boss, you must save me!"

The man glanced at him with a look of disdain and said, "You've cultivated for hundreds of years, yet you can't even beat a woman? What a waste!"

Hearing the word "waste," a trace of anger flashed in the cat demon's eyes, but he was helpless.

Although he had hundreds of years of cultivation, Jin Nuoyan's strength was simply too strong.

When the cat demon first saw Jin Nuoyan, he thought she was just a young girl, and even if she had strength, she couldn't possibly subdue him. It wasn't until he fought Jin Nuoyan that he realized this girl wasn't as simple as he thought.

Now, the cat demon even felt that Jin Nuoyan wasn't a young girl at all, just that she looked young.

"Boss, if it weren't for my injuries, I could fight her, but..." The cat demon wanted to explain something, but he swallowed his words halfway through.

The man didn't ask him either.

Jin Nuoyan glanced at the man and said, "After I subdue him, I'll subdue you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Demon Slayer Sword in her hand slashed directly at the cat demon!

She originally thought the man wouldn't take action, but she didn't expect that at the critical moment, the man still stepped in to save the cat demon's life.

The man pulled the cat demon a few meters away and said coldly, "Useless thing, go back!"

He thought there would be a good show to watch, but the good show was about to end before it even started.

The cat demon knew he was incompetent, so he didn't dare say anything and could only leave in disgrace.

Jin Nuoyan watched the cat demon leave and became anxious. She had finally found the cat demon and definitely couldn't let him go like this.

"Cat demon, don't run!"

Jin Nuoyan wanted to chase after him, but she was stopped by the man.

"If you want to kill him, you must first get past me!" The man looked at Jin Nuoyan with icy eyes.

Beneath this seemingly calm face, a strong killing intent was surging.

Jin Nuoyan frowned slightly. She just wanted to see how skilled this demon was!

"Alright, in that case, I'll kill you first!"

Jin Nuoyan didn't waste any words and directly started fighting the man.

The man's speed was very fast, and he was able to dodge Jin Nuoyan's attacks accurately every time.

After a fierce battle between the two, Jin Nuoyan didn't manage to injure him even by a hair.

At first, Jin Nuoyan's momentum was still relatively strong, but no matter how powerful she was, she was still human, and her stamina would eventually be exhausted.

So, after a while, Jin Nuoyan felt somewhat overwhelmed. In addition, she had exerted too much force earlier, which caused her injuries to worsen.

The man looked at Jin Nuoyan with a light smile and said, "What's wrong, are you already giving up so soon?"
