Chapter 25 Great Demon
Thanks to Huang Silang's keen ability to track demonic energy, no matter how the snake demon leader tried to hide, Jiang Mu was able to accurately catch up with him.
The few remaining demons that were fleeing alongside him were also easily killed by him.
"ah!!"
The snake demon leader couldn't take it anymore, so he stopped running, turned around, and glared at Jiang Mu with venomous hatred.
"Who exactly are you!?"
"Blind? Can't you tell I'm a Demon Slayer?"
Covered in blood, Jiang Mu approached step by step, knife in hand, like a demon crawling out of a pool of blood, exuding a violent and murderous aura.
At the same time, Huang Silang's demonic shadow gradually dissipated.
It's clear that the energy has been completely used up.
The snake demon leader said in a cold voice:
"You're just a lowly lackey of the Demon Slayer Division at the second realm. If you kill me, my mistress will surely seek revenge and skin you alive! If you don't believe me, then..."
Swish!
Jiang Mu remained expressionless and slashed with her sword.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that Jiang Mu was determined to kill, a look of madness and resolve appeared on the snake demon leader's face.
It took out a blood-red bead the size of a quail egg.
A flicker of pain crossed his eyes, then he tilted his head back, bit off a piece, and swallowed it.
The next moment, the snake demon let out a terrible howl.
The snake's body, which was originally over ten feet long, swelled up as if it were being inflated, its scales stood on end, and its size increased several times over.
Strange, twisted, blood-red patterns appeared on the scales.
It exudes a bloodthirsty aura.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant python nearly four zhang long.
Its scales were menacing, and its ferocity was overwhelming!
Its abdomen blends into the ground, as if it is drawing nourishment.
"clang!"
Jiang Mu's blade struck the snake's belly, but only left a white mark.
"Um?"
Jiang Mu was taken aback, narrowing her eyes. "You still have a trump card?"
The transformed snake demon leader coiled its massive body, looking down at Jiang Mu from its superior position, its voice booming like thunder:
"You little beast, do you really think you can kill me?"
"Don't you know that the righteous are one foot high, but the evil are ten feet high! Today... is your death day!"
Before he could finish speaking, a snake's tail, as thick as a beam, swept across.
Trees as thick as a bowl along the way snapped instantly.
Mud and rocks flew everywhere, creating a tremendous spectacle.
Jiang Mu sneered, "The devil may be one zhang tall? I'll be a thousand zhang tall!"
He held the knife in both hands.
The blood in the demonic trough was frantically drawn out, transforming the continuous demonic energy into surging true energy, which flowed into the entire body.
"Breaking the Sky!"
Jiang Mu swung his sword with earth-shattering force, directly clashing with the hard snake scales.
A loud explosion occurred.
It stirred up layers of rain waves.
"Again!"
Jiang Mu continued to swing his knife.
One cut, two cuts, ten cuts...
He seemed tireless, completely ignoring the consumption of his true energy, and relentlessly unleashed his attacks on the snake demon.
The snake demon leader originally relied on the secret technique to exhaust Jiang Mu's true energy and kill him when he was exhausted, but it soon discovered in horror that the person in front of it was simply a monster.
Is true energy inexhaustible?
With each strike heavier than the last, the crimson patterns on the snake demon's body began to fade rapidly.
The hard scales shattered and flew everywhere, leaving behind a bloody mess.
"No...it's impossible..."
The fierce glint in the snake demon leader's eyes turned into despair.
It tried to escape, but a secret technique temporarily fused it to the ground, making it impossible to move.
Finally, as Jiang Mu unleashed his twenty-first strike, the weapon crashed to the ground.
"No--"
Amidst the desperate cries of the snake demon leader, a horizontal blade, imbued with a dazzling light, sliced through its vital spot like cutting tofu, severing its head in one fell swoop.
Pfft!
The enormous snake body collapsed with a crash, shaking the ground.
After its death, the snake demon's body rapidly withered and shrank, eventually turning into a small snake only the length of an arm.
A wisp of black smoke was drawn from the corpse.
It drilled in along the location of Jiang Mu's birthmark and poured into the magic tank.
At the same time, the shadowy figure of a small blue snake appeared next to the magic slot.
Jiang Mu tried to reach out and touch it, but it passed right through her.
"It seems that, like Huang Silang, it belongs to the functional type of Shadow Demon."
Jiang Mu secretly speculated.
Hehe~~
Just then, a girl's laughter suddenly rang out from behind.
Jiang Mu felt a chill run down her spine.
Instinctively, he did a forward roll, simultaneously holding his sword horizontally in front of him and fixing his gaze on the direction from which the sound came.
A blurry figure could be seen floating in the rain.
It exudes a creepy, eerie atmosphere.
"There are demons too?"
Jiang Mu's heart sank.
Swish!
The blurry figure suddenly rushed over.
The rain seemed to be violently torn apart by a giant hand, swirling back to both sides.
The terrifying sense of oppression was like a mountain collapsing.
Holy crap! A powerful demon!
Without a moment to think, Jiang Mu immediately mobilized all his true energy and slashed fiercely at the illusory figure.
However, the blade froze halfway through its slash.
It was impossible to make any further progress.
And that figure had already pounced in front of them.
However, the other party did not launch an attack; instead, it hovered in mid-air.
The black, mist-like demonic aura dissipated slightly.
A delicate, spotless little foot emerged from the mist.
Her little feet were beautiful.
A silver anklet was worn around her rounded ankles.
Five glistening toes were slightly curled together, their tips tinged with a pale orange-red.
The toenails resemble tiny, lustrous pearls.
It exudes a healthy pinkish hue.
It touched the sharp tip of the knife so lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
They weren't afraid of the blade cutting their delicate skin.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Jiang Mu wanted to look up and see the other person's face clearly, but he found that he was even deprived of the strength to look up. He could only see the bare foot stepping on the tip of his knife.
He gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "Are you also a snake demon?"
The other party did not speak.
But Jiang Mu could clearly feel a playful and teasing gaze falling on her.
It's as if they're examining an interesting toy.
"What a pity~~"
A sigh escaped her lips, her voice ethereal and fleeting, "I hope you'll be even stronger when we meet next time. That way... I can happily devour you, hehe."
Jiang Mu frowned.
Before I could react, I suddenly felt the tip of the knife lighten.
Everything is back to normal.
He looked up and saw that the area in front of him was empty; the mysterious figure was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Mu did not let her guard down and still gripped her long sword tightly.
After observing the surroundings for a long time and confirming that the monster had left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this hellhole a monster's stronghold?"
Jiang Mu cursed under his breath, thinking how unlucky he was.
He dared not linger any longer. He picked up the corpse of the snake demon leader, then gathered up the corpses of the other smaller snake demons, tied them together with vines, and hurried back.
……
the other side.
After Jiang Mu left, Zhang Xiao Kui prepared to deal with the snake demons.
Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from the slope.
It turned out that the people from the third hall had finally heard the commotion and rushed over.
When they saw the scene of corpses strewn across the land, they were all stunned into silence.
What's going on?
Zhang Xiaokui glanced at them and said coldly:
"These were killed by me and the master. Now he's gone to chase other monsters. What a joke, you guys..."
Everyone looked at each other.
After a brief moment of shock, several quick-witted demon slayers rushed forward and slashed the still-struggling, heavily wounded snake demons on the ground several times before taking them away.
Zhang Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily:
"What are you doing? Lord Jiang and I killed these people! Put them down!"
As they dragged the snake demon's corpse, they laughed:
"Zhang Xiaokui, we're old acquaintances, stop bragging, okay?"
"Just the two of you? You killed so many?"
People tend to have fixed perceptions of themselves, believing that if they can't do something, others certainly can't either.
The leader sneered:
"These snake demons were clearly already seriously injured. It must have been those adults who severely injured them in the well that allowed them to escape."
You guys just happened to snag this opportunity.
Since it's all about finding bargains, everyone gets a share, so it wouldn't hurt to let a few of us pick them up.
