113: Chapter 50 The Mighty Mountain King Subdues the Demon Spirit 113: Chapter 50 The Mighty Mountain King Subdues the Demon Spirit “Monstrous fiend, be vanquished!”
Ningning Mu, with her slender figure surrounded by a streak of lightning, darted back and forth through the seawater.
The sword light flickered continuously, and several shrimp demons were beaten down, unable to raise their heads; their once-solid shells exploded like cracked eggshells, as demon blood quickly dispersed in the sea.
Li Ping’an threw out two black talismans that glowed faintly, absorbing all the demon blood, and then they burned away in the seawater on their own.
In this way, they wouldn’t attract more demons.
Li Ping’an watched the remaining carcasses of the shrimp demons with a touch of emotion in his eyes before he let out a soft sigh.
Yu Yingshu, pulling on Gu Qingcheng’s arm, transmitted his voice to inquire, “Senior Brother Gu, why is Ping’an sighing?
Does he think that Sister Mu fights too slowly?”
Gu Qingcheng studied Li Ping’an’s expression carefully and replied with utmost seriousness, “Ping’an probably contemplates the impermanence of life and the struggles among the Hundred Clans.
Although he has not advanced in cultivation as quickly as you or me, his spiritual realm is incredibly profound.
Otherwise, how could he have developed so many new methods of Artifact Refining while in the Refining Void Realm?”
Yu Yingshu praised, “Makes sense!”
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother?
Ningning Mu floated back with a cheerful smile, asking with concern.
Li Ping’an brushed his sleeve and took the three of them in search of small demons lurking nearby, sighing again:
“What a shame for such large shrimp; if only they hadn’t been contaminated by the miasma of fallen greater demons, nourished by the Spiritual Energy for years…
they would surely taste excellent if steamed.”
Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu felt figurative streaks of black lines rolling down their foreheads.
Li Ping’an turned his head and called out, “Brother Gu, Brother Yu, don’t fall behind.
There are still some demons lurking in this area; we should also accumulate some Magical Combat experience.”
“Senior Brother, let us try to fight too, we’ve never slain demons before!”
Li Ping’an instructed, “When exorcising demons, never be careless.
Do not underestimate them for their small size or weak Mana, and make sure to manage the continued flow of your internal Mana.
I have read in ancient texts that the miasma of a demon’s corpse may hide remnants of a greater demon’s soul.
Remember not to get close and constantly recite the ‘Clear Cloud Technique’.”
The three solemnly agreed and embarked on this stress-free demon-slaying journey.
Living in tranquil times, without contention with the world, must be referring to these four disciples of the Wanyun Sect.
About sixty to seventy li underneath the sea from where they were, another scene unfolded.
Swarms of disciples clad in Daoist Robes of various colors employed their Escape Skills, shuttling back and forth along the seabed, trapping a large number of shrimp and fish demons, using all their might and fighting over the count of slain demons.
Amidst the fierce battle of demon-slaying, Bu Linhai, a disciple from the Sea Watch Sect, slightly furrowed his brows as his Spiritual Sense searched everywhere.
That Sword Cultivator…
That Wanyun Sect disciple who insulted him with such base tactics; he was determined to return today’s humiliation one hundredfold!
He’s at the southwest.
Bu Linhai informed his fellow disciples by his side, and like a fish in water, swiftly shuttled through the sea, heading towards the southwest directly, right before several Immortals, using a Water Escape Skill.
This group of Sea Watch Sect disciples, led by Bu Linhai, was specifically tasked with giving the Wanyun Sect disciples a hard time.
When Bu Linhai left on his own, the other four of his small team did not object at all; they continued to closely monitor a group of Wanyun Sect disciples, preemptively striking any demons that appeared.
— The disciples of the Sea Watch Sect were divided into two groups, with six teams engaging in such petty actions to disturb the Wanyun Sect disciples; meanwhile, two teams of Merge True Realm peak disciples at Full Completion, possessing both the strongest cultivation and the most Magic Artifacts, who were already privy to the map of demon distributions, were quickly collecting points up ahead.
What Bu Linhai did not know was that as soon as he made a move, a wisp of Spiritual Sense floating around him relayed the situation promptly to the side of ‘that Sword Cultivator.’
Li Ping’an clicked his tongue.
‘As expected, they’ve come.’
Yet, despite them all taking cover here, the other party still sought them out for trouble.
Perhaps the Sea Watch Sect should have been christened Little Petty Sect instead!
And they are ranked among the top ten sects of the Path of Immortality?
Li Ping’an secretly made arrangements and instructed his three companions through transmission before…
he took out four Magic Artifact nets, distributing one to each person.
“Fellow disciples, be mindful of any delicious morsels not contaminated by miasma while we slay demons.
I intend to bring some back to honor my master.”
Ningning Mu sweetly agreed, while Yu Yingshu and Gu Qingcheng also voiced their approval in succession.
Those two brothers had something to say as well.
In their eyes, Senior Brother Ping’an, who was the strongest among them, was so carefree and unconcerned about the rankings of the trials, so they might as well go along with him.
They weren’t interested in the petty rewards from the Sea Watch Sect.
Just above the sea, within a cluster of faint clouds.
Elder Yansheng’s Spiritual Sense enveloped the entire field, feeling somewhat worried.
The current situation was rather unfavorable for the Wanyun Sect.
Each group of Wanyun Sect disciples was being ‘shadowed’ by the disciples from the Sea Watch Sect.
With so many Immortals watching, it was impossible for the Sea Watch Sect disciples to directly interfere with the Wanyun Sect disciples, but they could snatch away the demons targeted by the Wanyun Sect disciples, continually hovering around the Wanyun Sect disciples and leaving them distraught.
Many Wanyun Sect disciples, having had demons stolen from them continuously, were seething with rage;
But fortunately, everyone’s state of mind and cultivation were not bad, and they had received the elders’ instruction beforehand not to fight outright with the disciples of the Sea Watch Sect.
On the Immortal Treasure bronze mirror which displayed in real-time the disciple ranks in demon-slaying to the Loose Cultivators, the names of these Wanyun Sect disciples had all fallen behind.
The Immortals of the Wanyun Sect, including Elder Yansheng, were truly left without face at this moment.
Elder Yansheng clicked his expensive dry pipe, contemplating how to encourage Li Ping’an to strive harder and compete more fiercely—having a vague idea of how many uses of the Spirit Explosion Technique Li Ping’an had on his Magic Artifacts.
