Chapter 44: Try Your Best
Jiang Ruoyao has been hiding behind Lu Yichen, not because of her strong psychological ability, but because of Zhong Nianyao's arrangement.
For Zhong Nianyao's sake, Lu Yichen didn't say anything.
After seeing Zhong Nianyao's strength and the situation around Lu Yichen, Jiang Heng dragged his injured body and slowly moved to a safe position behind Lu Yichen.
While moving, he carefully looked towards Lu Yichen's position, fearing that he would be discovered.
Lu Yichen was naturally aware of Jiang Heng's little tricks, but all his attention was now on Zhong Nian Yao, and he had no mood to pay attention to these little things.
On the other side, Zhong Nianyao and the red-clothed female ghost were also fighting fiercely. However, their strength was evenly matched, and no one could be determined.
After the blow, the two separated and stood facing each other.
"You are not a ghost," Zhong Nianyao looked at the female ghost in red standing opposite her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was full of certainty, "You are a demon transformed from resentment."
"Oh, I didn't expect that a Heavenly Master like you is quite knowledgeable! Other old noses think I'm just an ordinary evil spirit when they see me." The red-clothed female ghost smiled charmingly, "But, you are right and wrong. To be honest, I am also a ghost, but I became a demon later."
A hint of understanding flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, and she immediately understood the meaning of these words.
The demon before me must have been a fierce ghost from the beginning, as you can tell by her red clothing. If she were to die at the right time, she could instantly transform into a fierce ghost. She must have been a fierce ghost, then fed on human resentment, evolving into a demon.
It was quite difficult for a ghost to evolve into a demon. The demon before him must have had some kind of adventure to escape from his ghost body and evolve into a demon.
You have to know that there's a huge difference between ghosts and demons. Ghosts are all under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell and are subject to various restrictions. But demons are different.
Demons are not under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell and can act freely in this world.
"How's it going? Are you scared?" The red-clothed female ghost giggled, her eyes brimming with charm and murderous intent. "But it's too late now. Since you've come here, stay here! Even if you're from the Xuanmen sect, you must die here."
"You're really arrogant!" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "It's a pity that your strength doesn't match your arrogance. You really think that just because you've become a demon, you can do whatever you want."
"Haha, little girl, you do have some strength. I can even say that among your peers, there are really few who can compare to you. It's a pity—" The enchanting demon's face was bright and charming, and her eyes were full of endless charm. "In front of me, you are still too young."
"Do you really think that's all I can do? Then you really underestimated me."
"Then stop talking nonsense and show us the real deal." Zhong Nian Yao spoke directly, and the expression on her face became more cautious.
The demon in front of her was indeed a formidable character, carrying a lot of lives on her shoulders. If she guessed correctly, after becoming a demon, this demon had killed many people in order to continue to feed on human resentment.
"Haha, then I'll destroy you today." The demon licked the corner of his mouth, a smile with a hint of madness on his face. "You cultivators are much more delicious than the resentment of humans! If I can devour you today, my cultivation will definitely increase significantly."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhong Nian Yao with eyes as if she was looking at a delicious dish.
In the past, she had also encountered many Heavenly Masters who wanted to take her in. But in the end, without exception, they all became her food. It must be said that these practitioners tasted very good.
She could see that the young girl in front of her was very powerful. If she could devour her, her cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Thinking of this, she wanted to devour Zhong Nian Yao even more urgently.
Lu Yichen, who was not far away, saw this scene. Although he didn't say anything, the temperature around him suddenly dropped several degrees.
Jiang Ruoyao, who was standing not far behind him, didn't know why, but suddenly felt the temperature around her suddenly drop. She couldn't help but hugged herself with her arms and shivered.
Lu Yichen said nothing and didn't seem to have any intention of taking action, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the demon was already cold, as if he was looking at a dead object.
At this moment, the demon, whose full attention was on Zhong Nian Yao, suddenly had a very ominous premonition in her heart for some reason, as if she was being stared at by something.
However, she immediately collected her thoughts and focused on dealing with Zhong Nian Yao.
Although she was very confident in herself, she could tell from the fight just now that the little girl in front of her was indeed a capable person. It would not be an easy task for her to devour the other party.
Zhong Nian Yao did not hesitate at all. She bit her finger and blood oozed out. She immediately began to draw talismans in the void with her own blood and essence.
But in the blink of an eye, the talisman was completed, and Zhong Nianyao shouted, "Go!"
The talisman with blood-red golden light directly attacked the demon.
There was a faint blood-red golden light, revealing a majestic aura, illuminating the entire space.
Just one glance is enough to see the power of this attack.
Zhong Nian Yao had indeed used all her strength in this attack. She knew very well that if she continued like this, it would not be of any benefit to her.
The demon was a demon, so she didn't tire easily. But she was only a mortal, so a prolonged battle wouldn't be an advantage for her. So, she decided to use all her might in this attack.
If she could get rid of the demon, that would be the best. Even if she couldn't, with Lu Yichen still around, she believed she would be safe.
Moreover, she also wanted to test her own limits. This demon was definitely the strongest opponent she had encountered since she came to this world.
Even a demon with a high level of cultivation could not help but be cautious when facing Zhong Nianyao's attack. She knew that she could not dodge it. This attack was aimed at her, so she could only fight back and could not dodge.
The demon immediately mobilized all of his demonic power and met the attack with all his might.
