This time, the tiger demon finally couldn't hold on any longer.
No matter how exquisite its movements are, it cannot withstand the simultaneous attack of six flying swords.
The tiger demon retreated a short distance at lightning speed, waving its command flag once more.
As demonic power flowed into the Xuanhuang Command Flag, the flag grew rapidly, from a little over a foot long to over three meters long.
A layer of demonic energy rippled across the surface of the Xuanhuang Command Flag, blocking the attack of the golden flying sword. The two magical artifacts clashed in the void.
Meanwhile, the bull demon and the dog demon were not idle either. While their leader was fighting the law enforcers, the dog demon leaped at Zhang Yuan, who was half-crouched on the ground, and tried to take Zhang Yuan's life while he was injured.
But just as the dog demon rushed in front of Zhang Yuan, a dark green umbrella enveloped it.
The moment the dark green umbrella unfolded, the dog demon felt as if it had fallen into a net from which there was no escape.
Zhou Jian closed the fan handle, and the dog demon was now inside the umbrella.
After the dark green umbrella closed, it created a bulge. Inside, the dog demon struggled violently, howling and nearly bursting the umbrella.
Seeing this, Zhou Jian immediately began to chant an incantation, and the dark green umbrella emitted beams of green light. Then, the umbrella began to shrink continuously.
Before long, the struggles inside the umbrella weakened and weakened, and finally it stopped moving!
Even the not-so-bright bull demon realized what was happening. As the dog demon rushed over to fight Zhou Jian, it also flashed forward and charged towards Zhang Yuan, delivering a violent punch to Zhang Yuan's face.
"Prepare to die."
This punch was delivered by the bull demon after consuming the demon core given to him by Tiger Boss, unleashing the immense power typically found only in those at the Meridian Opening Realm.
This feeling of being filled with power made the bull demon feel incredibly good.
Finally, I can regain my dignity in front of this human cultivator!
While the tiger demon and Liu Minchun were fighting, Zhang Yuan had already taken a low-level True Qi Pill, and his injuries and true qi were rapidly healing. At this moment, Zhou Jian had just put the dog demon into the Treasure Umbrella. His strength was only at the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, and the Treasure Umbrella could only take in one demon at the beginning stage of the Meridian Opening Realm at a time. Therefore, even if Zhou Jian wanted to save Zhang Yuan, he was powerless to do so.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan had to deal with the bull demon on his own.
The bull demon's fist was getting closer and closer to Zhang Yuan, and it looked like it was about to blast Zhang Yuan to pieces. Zhang Yuan, who had been standing still, suddenly curled up a cold smile.
At the critical moment, a lightning talisman was stuck to the bull demon's body, and he quickly retreated, then immediately detonated the lightning talisman!
Rumble!
A massive bolt of lightning struck down from the sky!
Although Zhang Yuan was injured at this time, the power of the explosive pill had not completely disappeared. The power of a single lightning talisman was equivalent to a strike from a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage. Therefore, the bull demon was blasted into pieces by the lightning talisman.
Zhou Jian stared in astonishment at the lightning streaking across the sky and the bull demon blasted to smithereens. He clicked his tongue and looked at Zhang Yuan as if he were a monster.
"Is he really just a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm? Why would he be able to unleash such powerful lightning?"
"??"
At this moment, at Zhou Jian's feet, a lifeless black dog lay on the ground.
It was the dog demon who was killed by the Treasure Umbrella.
As Zhang Yuan and Zhou Jian were killing the bull demon and dog demon, Liu Mingchun's battle with the tiger demon was also nearing its end.
Six flying swords confronted the Xuanhuang command flag in mid-air, the flag's surface taut to its limit.
Behind the command flag, blood kept gushing from the tiger demon's mouth, staining the fur on its face.
Liu Minchun continued to form hand seals, unleashing his full inner energy, and then roared: "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"
Then the six flying swords merged into one, the sword body grew to more than three meters, the power of the flying sword surged, and the dazzling golden light emitted from the sword body was so strong that people could not open their eyes. Finally, the huge flying sword that had merged into one pierced through the Xuanhuang Flag and penetrated the tiger demon's chest!
The tiger demon has been slain!
A golden tiger, about 3 meters long, lay on the ground, completely lifeless.
As the tiger demon died, the demonic barrier instantly collapsed, the rolling dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and a bright moon hung in the void, quietly illuminating the wasteland and the road.
The world has returned to its familiar state.
Zhang Yuan clutched his chest, coughed a few times, and dragged his heavy steps toward the man in the white coat and his companion, bowing respectfully.
"Thank you both so much for saving us! We are extremely grateful!!"
"No need to thank me. These demons have a lot of lives on their hands. Many of the missing children in Tongcheng City recently are related to them. They should have died long ago!"
The man in the white shirt said, kicking the tiger demon's corpse and picking up the yellow command flag from the ground.
The man in the black jacket stepped forward and said, "These demons have been wreaking havoc in the human realm. We've been searching for them for a long time, and we've finally found them!"
"By the way, may I ask your honorable names?"
Zhang Yuan asked.
During the battle just now, Zhang Yuan learned the identities of these two people; they seemed to be law enforcers from the human realm.
Zhang Yuan knew very little about the forces in the cultivation world, so it was worthwhile to get to know such an extraordinary expert if possible.
"My name is Zhou Jian, and this is our team leader, Liu Minchun!"
"We are the enforcers of the human realm, dedicated to slaying demons and monsters that disrupt the order of the mortal world!"
Zhou Jian straightened his shirt and jacket, which had been disheveled during the battle, and said with a warm smile.
"Young friend, and you?"
"My name is Zhang Yuan, a student at Tongcheng University!"
Zhang Yuan said.
Liu Mingchun and Zhou Jian were quite surprised to hear that Zhang Yuan was a student, but it was truly remarkable that he had such cultivation at such a young age!
Liu Minchun and Zhou Jian exchanged a glance. Liu Minchun chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang Yuan is so young yet possesses such cultivation. You have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. Would you be interested in joining our human realm's law enforcement team to slay demons and protect the order of human society?"
"A law enforcement force in the human realm? Slaying demons and monsters? Guarding the order of human society??"
Zhang Yuan was completely bewildered.
It sounds very impressive—slaying demons and protecting human order! But the thought of these two guys facing such a powerful opponent as a tiger demon made Zhang Yuan chicken out.
Seeing Zhang Yuan's reluctant expression, Zhou Jian quickly explained, "The enforcers of the human realm are the official organizations authorized by the Heavenly Court in the human world. We are an upright organization, so Fellow Daoist Zhang Yuan need not worry."
"Of course, we will not force monks to join our law enforcement ranks."
However, the law enforcement team in Tongcheng City has only recently been established and is short-handed, so I have no interest in asking Fellow Daoist Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan gave an awkward smile.
Zhou Jian continued, "Fellow Daoist Zhang Yuan, this is a good opportunity. You should consider it carefully. We will only consider cultivators who have reached the Meridian Opening Realm and are of pure character."
As he spoke, a peach wood token similar to Liu Minchun's appeared in his palm.
The peach wood token emitted a layer of white light as it approached Zhang Yuan.
This law enforcement token can identify the aura of cultivators and demons, and can emit five colors: white, blue, gray, red, and black!
When demons and monsters commit evil deeds in the human world, they generate malevolent energy. The degree of this malevolent energy varies, and it manifests in different colors.
Normal cultivators are usually white or cyan. Gray indicates that they have some malevolent energy. Red indicates that they have a lot of malevolent energy and must have committed many evil deeds. Such a monster should be killed!
If it's black, then the malevolent energy is even stronger, and it usually represents a demon that harms the area!
Zhou Jian brought the token close to the dead tiger demon, and sure enough, the token emitted a strong red light!
"This tiger demon seems to have eaten quite a few children!"
Zhang Yuan looked at the token in Zhou Jian's hand with the curiosity of a child. Just now, when Liu Minchun was fighting the tiger demon, he used a similar token to fix the space and prevent the tiger demon from escaping!
Zhou Jian continued, "Of course, there are many benefits to joining the law enforcement team. As long as you kill demons that disrupt human order and maintain human social order, you can gain a certain amount of merit points."
Merit points can be exchanged for cultivation resources such as magic weapons!
Moreover, joining the ranks of law enforcers is equivalent to joining the Heavenly Court's power. If one makes significant contributions in the future, there is a chance to be promoted and conferred the title of a righteous god by the Heavenly Court, and enjoy incense offerings!
