This scene not only stunned Liu Chen and the others who were lying half-dead in the mud.Even the Ming Gu Great Demon was momentarily stunned.
A rage a hundred times fiercer than when its leg was severed suddenly exploded in its chest!Being wounded earlier by a String Hearing Stage ant due to underestimation was already a great humiliation.
Now, this ant not only didn't run away but dared to actively charge at it?!
How dare she?!
"Roar—"
The earth-shattering roar transformed into a tangible sound wave, lifting a layer of mud from the edge of the pond!
The Demon's crimson eyes were filled with brutality.
However.Just as the Demon opened its massive mouth, preparing to devour that figure completely.
Jiang Yuechu's movements suddenly accelerated.Not just by a little bit!
~Buzz~
In her mind, the number in the [Dao Cultivation] column on the ancient scroll began to rapidly decrease at a frantic speed.
One hundred and twenty years.
Ninety years.
Sixty years...
Zero!
The Dao Cultivation she had accumulated for a long time was completely emptied in this instant!
An unprecedented surge of scorching warm current violently exploded from her Dantian.
At the same time.The Qi and blood within her body burned fiercely at an unparalleled speed!
~Boom!~
Her aura underwent an earth-shaking transformation in an instant!Her long black hair, starting from the roots, was dyed by a thick layer of blood-red color, appearing like burning flames in the dim twilight!
Beneath her skin, dense crimson tiger stripes spread upward from her wrist, reaching her shoulder.Her clear pupils instantly transformed into brutal, vertical golden slits!
Demonization!
This was her current ultimate, strongest move!
"Wha... what is that?!" Not far away, Tiger Zhao, struggling to stand up, watched the scene in horror.
That fierce, murderous Qi was even more intense than that of the Bone Resonance Great Demon before them!Who the heck... who is the Demon?! Just as the two figures were about to collide.
~Boom~
The girl's body actually leaped into the air, appearing directly above the Demon's head!In mid-air, she gripped the blade with both hands, raising it above her head.
The bloody phantom of a fierce tiger behind her completely solidified at this moment!
~Buzz~
An eerie, blood-red aura ignited on the blade, making the entire weapon seem alive!
"Die!" A clear shout.This single strike.It was not only a full-power attack in her Demonization state but also infused with one hundred and twenty-five years of Dao Cultivation!
The next second. It ruthlessly slashed down!
~Puchi~
The blood-red blade light flashed and disappeared.
"Ugh..." The Demon let out an indistinct sound from its throat.The next instant.
~Crash~
A line of blood slowly appeared right down the center of its enormous head.The massive head, comparable to a millstone, was neatly split into two halves right down the middle!
Foul-smelling blood mixed with brain matter poured down like a waterfall.The huge body swayed and then fell straight backward.
~Bang~
The ground at Hushu Wan violently trembled along with it, splashing mud everywhere.
"..." Everyone watched the scene blankly, mouths agape.
The Bone Resonance Great Demon... just like that... gone in one slash?
Wait, we're all in the String Hearing Stage, why are you so overpowered?!
Even though Liu Chen had witnessed her methods once before and knew them.At this moment, his cerebellum felt like it was shrinking.
The terrifying, murderous Qi receded like a tide.The crimson tiger stripes on Jiang Yuechu's body slowly vanished, and her blood-red hair returned to black.
She stood with her blade sheathed, slowly exhaling a breath of stale Qi.
The feeling of exhaustion surged like a tide, causing her body to sway slightly, but thankfully, she didn't pass out immediately like last time.
[Killed a Bone Resonance Realm creature, gained four hundred and twenty years of Dao Cultivation]
Jiang Yuechu frowned.
Huh?
No prompt for inclusion?
That shouldn't be.Logically, this Catfish Spirit's strength reached Bone Resonance, and it could use Water Control and mud manipulation. Its methods were strange and certainly not ordinary.
How could it not even qualify for inclusion?
Could it be that the hundred demons compendium has too high a standard and looks down on this kind of aquatic creature?
Her mind raced, and she quickly dismissed this idea. Since it even accepted that pig before, it shouldn't look down on this fierce Demon.So where was the problem?
After much thought, she couldn't come up with an answer.
"Forget it, forget it. If I kill more Demons later, I'll surely find the pattern..." After consoling herself this way.She looked at the massive Demon corpse and suddenly thought of something.
Wait... the Blood Food Technique!
Jiang Yuechu paused with so many eyes watching right now, it would be inconvenient for her to use it.
Not far away, Liu Chen struggled to climb out of the mud. "Captain Liu, are you alright?" Tiger Zhao also scrambled over. His injuries weren't severe, but the Demonic Qi had shaken him badly, and his head was still ringing.
"I won't die." Liu Chen waved his hand, but his gaze never left Jiang Yuechu
.Noticing his focus, Tiger Zhao also followed his gaze."Miss... Miss Jiang..." Tiger Zhao cautiously approached Jiang Yuechu, forcing a smile that was uglier than a cry.
"Are... are you alright?" He was now completely convinced.Totally convinced.Forget about delicate skin, forget about 'little girl.'This Ancestor could probably pin him to the ground and rub him out with one finger.
"I'm fine."She shook her head, then looked at Liu Chen, who was struggling to stand up.
"How should this Demon corpse be handled?" Liu Chen was startled.
"According to the rules... if convenient, it must be transported whole back to the Commandery Office Treasury. Many parts of a Demon are excellent Materials for Alchemy and crafting tools."
"And if it's not convenient?" Jiang Yeuchu asked.
"If it's not convenient..." Liu Chen gave a wry smile, pointing to the muddy pond. "Then we can only take the critical parts, such as the Demon Core, tendons, bones, or special scales and hides. The rest must be abandoned here."
"Oh..."Jiang Yuechu felt a little depressed.I worked so hard, burning Dao Cultivation and activating Demonization, fighting desperately for this trophy, and it doesn't even belong to me?
What the hell.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the Demon corpse and Liu Chen, sighing repeatedly.Having worked in the Demon Suppression Division for so many years, Liu Chen naturally had the skill to read the room.Seeing her expression, he instantly understood.
He cleared his throat and proactively spoke with great consideration: "This place is remote, and the Demon's corpse is too massive. It would be genuinely difficult to transport it back."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the injured men still groaning on the ground, and continued with a look of deep sorrow: " The brothers are badly injured and need to return to Liangzhou Prefecture for treatment as soon as possible. We really shouldn't delay any longer."
"Miss Jiang." Liu Chen suddenly looked at her, his tone solemn. "You have performed a great service by slaying this Bone Resonance Great Demon. However, since the brothers are all injured, perhaps we could trouble you again to dispose of this Demon's corpse?" Everyone was stunned.
Wait a minute.What did Liu Chen mean by that?If not for Jiang Yuechu, every single person in their squad would have died here today and now he wants a young girl to handle this bloody, foul-smelling Demon corpse?
Tiger Zhao was instantly displeased. "How can we trouble Miss Jiang with such rough work? Miss Jiang, you rest, I'll do it!" As he spoke, he pulled out a small knife from his waist, specially used for handling Demon corpses, ready to start working at any moment.
Jiang Yuechu glanced at him, tightening her fists slightly.Seeing this, Liu Chen's eyelids twitched, and he quickly shot Tiger Zhao a meaningful look.
Seriously.
Why hadn't he noticed this kid was such an idiot usually?Tiger Zhao was stunned by the glare, scratched his head, and belatedly realized what was happening, his old face flushing red. He quickly waved at the few equally confused men beside him.
"Why are you all standing around? Didn't you hear Captain Liu? Hurry up, lend a hand, and carry those severely injured brothers to a clean spot first!"
"Oh, oh, oh..." The crowd woke up as if from a dream, and with many hands, they carried the three unconscious colleagues away from the mud pit.
Liu Chen also took the opportunity to lead the remaining people, using the excuse of "guarding the surroundings to prevent other Demons from being attracted by the smell of blood," and very tactfully retreated dozens of steps away.
Soon, only Jiang Yuechu remained by the muddy edge of Hushu Wan.
