Chapter Ninety-One: "I Am Not Fa Hai" (7200 words)
The female demon in front carried someone on her shoulder, yet her speed was astonishing. Her figure turned into a demonic wind, darting through the forest.
Chen Yan was not slow either. With the Light Body Talisman and the Escape Rune Technique, he quickly entered the depths of the forest in just a few blinks, closely following behind.
Chen Yan’s body flew swiftly, barely touching the ground as he ran. He was already in the Guiyuan Realm. With the full activation of his Primordial Qi and the support of the Escape Rune Technique, his speed was even faintly three-tenths faster than that of the female demon in front.
However, Chen Yan deliberately didn’t catch up in one go. While running, he used his Qi Observation Skill to carefully look ahead. What he saw was that the demonic aura of the female demon in front was thicker than that of his old tortoise Gui Geng—although it was still far inferior to Mrs. He, the old fox You Su Yi.
Upon calculating, she should be at the early stage of the Guiyuan Realm.
Confirming that the opponent’s Tao Practice wasn’t too strong, Chen Yan felt somewhat relieved. While running, he took out the Mother’s Love Talisman from his pocket and held it in his hand.
However, the opponent’s speed was so fast, her figure darting like the wind, making it constantly difficult for Chen Yan to lock onto her with his Qi Mechanism. Thus, he couldn’t use the Mother’s Love Talisman for the time being.
Two figures, one after the other, ran for quite a distance of two or three miles in the forest. Soon, there appeared a slope ahead...
Chen Yan, being a local, had already calculated the terrain. When he reached this point, he had subtly slowed his pace. After creating some distance between them, he began to activate his Primordial Qi and prepare...
As expected, the female demon in front suddenly stopped abruptly upon reaching the slope, then turned around, screamed at Chen Yan, and clawed at him with one hand.
Chen Yan had been prepared. Using the Escape Rune Technique, he moved his body sideways by several meters.
He saw the female demon’s form miss him and claw at a tree instead, causing wood chips to fly everywhere.
Chen Yan turned around and used a "Law Order·Fixed Character Technique."
The female demon was locked in place by his Primordial Qi, her body trembling.
But then, a horrified expression appeared on her face. She screamed again!
Her body suddenly lowered, dodging Chen Yan’s Body-Stabilizing Technique. She turned into a grayish-yellow shadow, lying on the ground, then rolled around. Her yellow fur mixed with the snow, forming a ball of yellow and white.
Chen Yan’s Body-Stabilizing Technique missed. Seeing the opponent reveal her true form, he looked carefully. It turned out to be... a Great Immortal Huang?
He took a deep breath, spread the five fingers of his left hand, and fully activated the Primordial Energy Version of the Six Meridian Divine Sword. Four fingers—index, middle, ring, and little—fired in unison, sending waves of Qi Swords shooting out.
The female demon transformed into the Great Immortal Huang, jumping and dodging in the forest, avoiding the Sword Qi, which stirred up snowflakes and caused several trees to shatter into wood chips as they were hit by the Sword Qi.
Chen Yan unleashed seventeen or eighteen Sword Qi attacks in one breath. Although the Great Immortal Huang tried her best to dodge, she finally let out a painful cry, hit by a Sword Qi while leaping, and fell onto the snow.
She struggled a few times. Chen Yan quickly made a spell gesture: "Law Order: Set!"
This time, a "Fixed Character Technique" solidly hit the demon, causing her to lie motionless on the ground.
Only then did Chen Yan let out a breath, feeling a slight excitement in his heart. This was the first time since his cultivation that he had faced an opponent in direct confrontation, using spells and Finger Sword to defeat an adversary of comparable realm.
Previously, whether against the Mountain Demon or the White Fox, Chen Yan mainly relied on escaping or auxiliary combat.
This night was his first time handling a battle alone.
And he hadn’t even used Gu Qingyi’s Mother’s Love Talisman!
The Great Immortal Huang lay motionless, unable to move, yet she spat out human words, filled with anger, her voice sharp and clear: "You human cultivator! My master and I have no grudge against you. Why did you spoil our plan?"
Chen Yan’s expression was cold: "Wang Chuyi is my friend. You harmed him, so I had to interfere!"
The Great Immortal Huang was even more furious: "You say I harmed him? How did my master and I harm him?"
Chen Yan frowned. Suddenly, he heard rustling behind him on the snowy ground. It was the white demoness, struggling to turn over and, kneeling, begging: "Esteemed cultivator! My master didn’t lie to you! We indeed never harmed Chuyi."
"Even though... I had relations with him and borrowed some of his Yang Qi to strengthen my body, I never harmed him!"
Chen Yan frowned at the white demoness and shook his head: "In that form, it’s improper. Return to your original shape quickly!"
The white demoness sighed and wiggled a few times, transforming into a small rabbit on the spot!
With fur white mixed with grey, she lay small and weak in the snow. She had a wound from Chen Yan’s Finger Sword, with some blood dripping.
Chen Yan grabbed the rabbit’s ears and lifted her, then lightly tossed her beside the Great Immortal Huang.
"A weasel spirit taking on a rabbit spirit as a disciple. What a peculiar master-disciple pair you are." Chen Yan said coldly, "Tell me everything: how you deceived Chuyi, bullied the old monk at the temple, and all the evil you’ve done recently. One by one!"
The Great Immortal Huang snorted coldly, defiant and unwilling to speak. Chen Yan used his Qi Observation Skill to see the Primordial Qi fluctuations in her body, indicating she was trying to use her mana to break free from the Body-Stabilizing Technique.
