Chapter 91 [Demon Slayer] Upgrades, Awakens Class Skill!
Ji Yin faced Qiu Li and numerous blood servants alone, which immediately increased the pressure on her.
Qiu Li was already incredibly strong, and now he was holding nothing back, unleashing a torrent of evil energy. Ji Yin was overwhelmed and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, sustaining multiple wounds.
On the other side, Jiang Qi and Zhang Xiao were also overwhelmed by the blood servants.
These Blood Servants are quite powerful, most of them possessing combat strength in the mid-to-late stages of the Blood Essence Realm, and are exceptionally fierce.
Zhang Xiao swung his knife to defend himself, but his two fists were no match for four hands, and he soon found himself in grave danger, suffering injuries to his shoulder, thigh, and chest.
"Damn it, looks like I'm going to die here today!"
Despair welled up in his heart. Looking at the increasing number of scarlet eyes around him, he suddenly shouted to Jiang Qi, who was also being besieged not far away, "Brother Jiang! There's something I've always wanted to tell you! Actually, I..."
Before he could finish speaking—
Bang!Bang!
Where Jiang Qi was, the light of the blades suddenly intensified.
He flashed around, his cold blade transforming into afterimages, instantly slashing the three or four blood servants around him, sending them flying backward, either dead or crippled.
Then, he took a step forward, arriving near Zhang Xiao, parried the sneak attack from the side with a slash, and laughed, "What did you just say? It was too noisy, I didn't hear you."
Zhang Xiao stared blankly at Jiang Qi's sudden outburst for a moment, then a surge of warmth welled up inside him: "Brother Jiang, from now on you're my own brother!"
Jiang Qi smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after we've killed all these bastards."
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Xiao felt a bad premonition when he saw Jiang Qi suddenly look at the big monster Qiu Li who was pressing down on Ji Yin.
At the same time, Ji Yin was sent flying by Qiu Li's palm strike, crashing into half of a broken wall. She coughed up blood and her breath became weak.
She struggled to her feet, looking at Qiu Li who was approaching with a sinister grin, a resolute glint in her eyes.
Even if I die, I'll take the evil spirits with me!
Ignoring her injuries, she channeled her remaining energy, merging her aura with the sword light, and unleashed a dazzling slash towards Qiu Li.
Caught off guard, Qiu Li was struck by this desperate blow, screaming in agony and rage, and retaliated with a palm strike.
Ji Yin felt a chill in her heart: "It's over... I'm sorry, elder brother, I promised you I would always slay demons and monsters..."
However, before the black palm could land, a dark blade flashed from the side and slashed across Qiu Li's neck.
Qiu Li's forward lunge suddenly froze, his ferocious expression solidified on his face.
The next moment, the head separated from the body, black blood gushed out like a fountain, and the corpse collapsed to the ground with a thud.
[Demon Slayer] +20.
Zhang Xiao's eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Ji Yin raised her head, looking at the figure with a somewhat blank expression: "...You...you broke through?"
Jiang Qi nodded without saying anything more. With a few quick movements, he killed the three blood servants who had attacked him.
Zhang Xiao snapped out of his daze, his heart churning with turmoil.
Solidify the foundation?
Is the Great Barrier of Strengthening Bones as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm?
Two days, and they broke through?!
Ji Yin was deeply shaken.
Lord Shen Yi once judged that Jiang Qi needed at least a year to hone his skills, but only half a year... and he has already crossed that threshold?
……
Jiang Qi killed the large demon with a single strike, and without pausing, he attacked the smaller demons.
Since Qiu Li was beheaded, the remaining minor demons lost their leader, and he wiped them out without much effort.
"This place is a trap, and there may be other unexpected events elsewhere. Sister Yin, we have to go back quickly!" He said to Ji Yin.
Ji Yin's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to stay alert: "Let's go!"
The group immediately ran back the way they came.
Jiang Qi then immersed his consciousness into the [Book of a Hundred Trades]:
【Occupation: Demon Slayer (Level 3, job advancement available)】
[Level: 2 (19/300)]
[Effect: Increases damage against evil spirits and demons; grants immunity to low-level mental manipulation; can absorb the remnants of evil spirits and convert them into class experience]
【Skill: Ghostly Artifact - Soul Suppressor (Beginner) - Refines ghostly objects with one's own blood and spiritual power, condensing them into a 'Soul Suppressor Ghostly Artifact' with the effects of suppressing evil, dispelling malevolent influences, and injuring the soul.
Power is related to health and the item's rank; Current condensable quantity: 0/1
"A Ghostly Artifact - Soul Suppressor?" Jiang Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the charcoal ghost he had obtained from killing the ghost in the Blood Blade Hall.
He wanted to try it now, but unfortunately he didn't have the black charcoal monster with him, and now wasn't the right time.
However, it has just been proven that only by slaying the Great Demon can one increase the experience of the [Demon Suppressor].
And in these ruins, there are also several large monsters that are "experience packs".
Jiang Qi moved with incredible speed, his gaze fixed on the distant, gloomy ruins, his fighting spirit intensifying.
......
The moonlight was cold and desolate, and the ruins of the old neighborhood resembled a ferocious beast crouching and hunting.
Shen Yi and Gu Wangzhou moved like lightning, leaping through the air over the ruins and following the eerie aura that soared into the sky, until they reached a dilapidated old courtyard.
"My lord, we've stopped." Gu Wangzhou looked into the darkness ahead.
Shen Yi paused slightly, his black robes swaying gently in the night breeze.
He frowned slightly and looked around.
It's so quiet, not even a little ghost in sight...
"Hehehe..."
As if confirming the suspicions, a chilling laugh suddenly rang out from the dilapidated courtyard.
Then, a strange aura surged forth, thick as ink, instantly obscuring the already dim moonlight.
A figure shrouded in black mist stepped out, its scarlet eyes piercing through the mist as it looked mockingly at Shen Yi and Gu Wangzhou.
"Zhu Wei!" Gu Wangzhou recognized the face corrupted by the eerie energy, his expression changing instantly. "It's not Li Tianxiong!"
The person before me, or rather, the one possessed by evil spirits, was none other than Zhu Wei, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of the Weiyuan镖局 (escort agency)!
"Hehe, gentlemen, I never said that I was Li Tianxiong."
Zhu Wei let out a twisted laugh, seemingly enjoying the two people's astonished expressions.
"So," Shen Yi's brows relaxed at this moment, "you've really messed with the entire Weiyuan Escort Agency."
"As expected of Lord Shen," Zhu Wei raised his hand, covered in bluish-black patterns, and examined it with fascination. "Are you satisfied with my new body, Lord Shen?"
"Are you deliberately stalling for time?" Shen Yi took a step forward, his black sword unsheathed, the sharp blade ripping through the night.
Gu Wangzhou seemed to realize something and immediately sensed something was wrong.
This cunning old fox is using a diversionary tactic!
"Hehehe..."
......
Old Fang District, Eastern District.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The already dilapidated building now appears even more ravaged.
The wicked Han Tuo, surrounded by black mist and with bloodshot eyes, wielded a five-ringed ghost blade, which made Qin Lie and Wan Canglan, two powerful cultivators at the Bone Realm, unable to breathe.
Qin Lie had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and multiple injuries on his body.
Wan Canglan's situation is even worse. He already had internal injuries from last night's battle with Han Tuo, and now he is struggling to cope with both sides, with new injuries constantly appearing.
The dozen or so Demon-Suppressing Guards were also in a bad situation. Although there were no major demons, there were a large number of minor demons, making it difficult to even break through, let alone kill them.
If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the Demon Suppression Guard is defeated.
Wan Canglan slashed Han Tuo away, his blood surging within him, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood. Seeing the defeat on the battlefield, he immediately felt the urge to retreat.
He originally thought he could use the Demon Suppression Division to wipe out the Qingshui Gang in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that the evil forces would be so troublesome. Han Tuo alone was able to overpower him and Qin Lie.
If this continues, let alone destroying Han Tuo, I'm afraid I'll die here too!
His gaze swept quickly across the ruins, then he pushed off with both feet, slashing down two small monsters and flashing to the side of a young man.
"Walk!"
This young man was his son, Wan Zifeng.
The saying goes, "Father and son are of one mind." Wan Zifeng instantly understood Wan Canglan's meaning, but he hesitated for a moment and instead looked at Qin Lie, who was fighting Han Tuo, and asked, "Uncle Qin, what should we do?"
