Zhu Yi was full of confidence: "I can't get involved in the big shots' fight, but can't I at least catch some small fry to play with?"
Chi Su's face darkened: "You little brat, how dare you speak like that? I am the eldest prince of the Demon Clan, with the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator. How dare you, a mere Golden Core cultivator, look down on me?"
Chi Su glared fiercely at her with his tiger-like eyes, but it didn't frighten Zhu Yi.
"Oh, and then?" Zhu Yi wiped the horse-slaying saber. The saber was already very clean and didn't need much wiping. Zhu Yi just wanted to make it look presentable.
He's at the Nascent Soul stage, and he's incredibly panicked. He quickly asked Jinbao if he could defeat the opponent.
"Woof? Woof woof!" What? He's seriously injured and you still can't beat him? You're too weak!
"I now realize that once we get to know each other, you're a real chatterbox!"
Zhu Yi rebuked softly. In matters of life and death like this, she always considered whether she could actually fight before engaging in such a fight.
"Junior Sister Zhu Yi, I'll hold him off for a bit, and you go to rescue Weiwei from the side!" Shu Chen was filled with anxiety, but in the end, he decided to give it his all. Even if this demonic cultivator's cultivation was above his own, he couldn't let Weiwei be taken away like this without knowing why!
Zhu Yi took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. "I advise you to let go of Weiwei in time, or you'll be in for a world of trouble!"
"Huh? I can't beat Yu Jing, but I can beat a few of you?" Chi Su grinned wickedly. "Besides, if I could also capture you and make you my cook, that wouldn't be bad!"
"Eat, eat, eat! Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?" Zhu Yi was a little angry. "Why are you demonic cultivators all so idle? You're either eyeing other people's spirit pets or thinking about capturing people to do something. Why can't you just stay in your demonic territory and do what you're supposed to do!"
"So, little girl, what you said?" Chi Su kissed Weiwei's cheek, his face full of excitement, enjoyment, and satisfaction, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Weiwei had already uttered nothing more. Now she felt as if a piece of her face had been cut off with a hot knife, both painful and burning, which was extremely torturous.
Chi Su completely ignored Weiwei's distant, sorrowful, and angry gaze. In his eyes, this was just Weiwei playing the girlish card with him. "Don't be afraid, I'll go and deal with them right away. When we return to the Demon Palace, I will definitely treat you well!"
"Pah, who asked you to stay put!" Zhu Yi rolled her eyes and started fighting without saying another word. Her five elements of spiritual energy circulated rapidly, and the ever-changing spiritual energy on the shiny black blade of her horse-slaying saber made it difficult for Chi Su to figure out what kind of person this little girl was.
Shu Chen didn't hesitate. When Zhu Yi leaped into the air, he didn't think twice, drew his sword, and joined the battle.
Two against one, Lin Hengjin thought for a moment and decided it was better not to join for the time being. He silently drew a few more talismans, seven or eight of which would not accidentally harm his fellow disciples, and they fell into the battle, crackling and popping.
Chi Su hadn't taken Zhu Yi and Shu Chen seriously at first. He was nonchalant and played cat and mouse with the two little ones with ease. But the little girl's sword was sometimes incredibly hot and sometimes incredibly cold, leaving him completely bewildered.
"I haven't really stretched my muscles in ages! Little girl, you're pretty good! No wonder Qing Shang took a liking to you, wanted to refine you, and trapped you in the Soul Devouring Array for days without killing you!" Chi Su said angrily. "You little brat, you're quite capable!"
Zhu Yi moved with the agility and speed of a rabbit, always making a fleeting dodge just before Chi Su could catch her. Her thin clothes brushed past Chi Su's rough hands, and she failed to grab him.
Little Peach Blossom ran over from afar and even showered Zhu Yi with a shower of peach blossoms to cheer him on. Chi Su thought these pink and tender peach blossoms were not pretty at all. They were used to ward off evil spirits and make him feel a little dizzy.
Shu Chen seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of Chi Su's moment of panic, thrust his sword fiercely into Chi Su's chest.
Perhaps it was the psychological trauma inflicted by Yu Jing's sword piercing his chest during the spatial array that made Chi Su barely dodge Shu Chen's sword. Still shaken, he missed the mark, but the new wound was not far from the previous one. With both wounds flaring up at the same time, Chi Su was really struggling to cope.
Exorcising and lightning-summoning talismans rained down, and Chi Su thought angrily, "Damn it! What kind of skill is it for you little brats to gang up on us!"
"Then what kind of hero are you, taking advantage of Weiwei in her vulnerable state!"
"I am a demonic cultivator. Demonic cultivators act solely on their whims. Where do these 'heroes' come from?!" Chi Su retorted angrily. He'd only taken a liking to a pretty girl, so why the need for a fight? In the demon realm, which girl wouldn't be eager to cultivate with him? Which male cultivator would dare compete with him for a woman?
Seeing the dense, wailing thunderclouds around him, Chi Su didn't hold back. He formed a hand seal and performed a complex and mysterious gesture, instantly sending five large vengeful spirits flying out from under his feet.
"Sigh, if I weren't injured, I really wouldn't have summoned these five guys so easily!"
Upon seeing the five enormous skeletal monsters standing tall, Zhu Yi was momentarily unable to stand up. She tried to somersault but failed and rolled several times on the ground, dust flying up and sticking to her snow-white clothes. At that moment, she looked a bit like a little beggar.
His body was covered in dirt and dried bloodstains; he was hardly presentable.
Five large puppets strode in with an arrogant and domineering gait. With each step, the earth trembled, and each step seemed to pierce through clouds and split rocks, creating a sense of rushing torrents.
Zhu Yi looked behind the five monsters and, sure enough, each step left a trail of dark, sinister footsteps, accompanied by a chilling, evil wind that made Zhu Yi dizzy.
Although she didn't know what it was, Zhu Yi, with her keen senses as someone about to break through to the master-level alchemist, sensed that its malevolent nature was no less than that of a deadly poison. She shouted, "Back off! We mustn't be tainted by this evil thing's black aura!"
Lin Hengjin looked from afar, his hand trembled, and he drew the talisman incorrectly: "What kind of monster is this? It's too evil! No..."
However, it was too late. Behind Chi Su, without him noticing, Xue Shan quickly put a concealment talisman on Wei Weiwei and ran away from the side with Weiwei.
Neither of them paid attention to their footing, and with one step they unknowingly stepped into a large black footprint.
Lin Hengjin stared at the two right footprints that had appeared on the largest footprint in the distance. There were only footprints, no people in sight. Weren't those Xue Shan and Wei Wei?
Before they could react, Zhu Yi and Shu Chen were trapped in the middle by five huge monsters. The stench of corpses, along with the heat wave, swept over them. Faced with such great danger, Zhu Yi did not back down.
The bigger the waves, the bigger the fish.
The deeper the danger, the more stable things should be.
The fiery red flames rolled across the sword, and one after another, fiery red lotus flowers condensed from Zhu Yi's hand. Once again, Zhu Yi used the Buddha Fire Technique and the Lotus Heart Melody, using all his spiritual energy to fight against the five giant skeletons.
Perhaps Zhu Yi's will to survive was too strong.
Or perhaps the danger Zhu Yi was facing at this moment was too great.
Before Lin Hengjin could finish drawing his most domineering and skillful divine thunder talisman, he saw a large black snake, no, a python, coiled behind his junior sister, who had a slightly sullen expression and an aura of righteousness. The snake flicked its red tongue, opened its blood-red mouth, and steadily held Zhu Yi's small body within its protective circle.
