CHAPTER 453: CHAPTER 236: HEAVENLY GANG REVERSES THE FIGHT, THE CAT DEMON RETURNS TO THE FOREST

The demon clan’s condensation of a demon core is a perilous endeavor, surviving the lightning disaster requires immense determination and courage; even with eighteen lives, it’s difficult to endure.

Survive the ordeal and you live; fail, and you die.

If before facing life and death, there’s a chance to personally eliminate a foe, then even if lightning disaster comes next, fear is no more.

This is momentum!

From Bailong Village to the Ruyi Temple, Xuan Yu’s accumulated Evil Qi has taken shape; now facing the enemy of old, there’s no trace of past cowardice.

It’s said that a cat in power is more fierce than a tiger; at this moment, Xuan Yu had even more ferocity than a tiger.

Upon hearing Xu Qing’s command, Xuan Yu remained silent, gripping tightly the sword in hand, becoming a shadowy blur as it darted towards Baiyun Daoist, who was forced back to the temple.

A meowing cat won’t catch mice, likewise a hunting cat never huffs, for only the weak make noise.

Baiyun Daoist roared with false bravado, "Seven years ago, I could take one of your lives; today I can take the rest of them!"

Watching the child, who seemed like a ghost, transform into eight phantoms aimed to slaughter him, Baiyun Daoist finally unsheathed the Ghost Head Saber.

As soon as the wicked blade was drawn, a river of blood flowed from the scabbard; as the Ghost Head Saber sliced through the air, the surging blood transformed into a river of blood, protecting Baiyun Daoist while Infant Spirits crawled out, clawing and lunging at Xuan Yu.

On the side, Xu Qing chanted the Sutra of Transmigration aloud, and upon hearing Xu Qing’s merciful, harmonious voice, the wildly clawing Infant Spirits visibly halted, their inky eyes losing their target.

After a brief moment of confusion, the Infant Spirits lowered their arms, wandering aimlessly within the blood river as if searching for something.

The Blood Lake Repentance can free spirits who die from difficult childbirth, abortion, or other blood grievances, also dissolving blood debts and aiding spirits in escaping suffering.

At this moment, the Blood Lake Repentance Sutra, recited by Xu Qing, was exhibiting unprecedented effectiveness.

This scripture, acquired from the Daoist of Ruyi Temple, was perfectly aligned with Blessed Lady’s presence, as if tailor-made.

Who would have thought a traditional Taoist transcendence scripture could become Baiyun Daoist’s death sentence.

The Infant Spirits trapped in the blood river fell into chaos, no matter Baiyun Daoist’s urging, they refused to advance, now only wanting to find the source of that familiar voice.

Outside the surging blood curtain, Xuan Yu’s sword tip avoided the Infant Spirits, directly targeting Baiyun Daoist protected within the blood river.

At first, Baiyun Daoist relied on the blood river for protection, as long as the blood river remained, any attack could be blocked by the blood-red wall, but now, with the Infant Spirits out of control, the entire blood curtain was tearing and tumbling; if this barrier broke, Baiyun Daoist was unsure if he could escape unscathed from Xuan Yu’s blade.

In these few years unseen, the Cat Demon’s cultivation showed signs of surpassing his own!

Upon hearing Xu Qing continue chanting the Blood Lake Repentance, Baiyun Daoist could no longer sit still.

Infuriated, he shouted: "This is a grievance between the poor Taoist and this Cat Demon, what does it have to do with you? If you claim to be righteous, you shouldn’t bully the few with the many, or strike from the shadows. Otherwise, even if you defeat the poor Taoist today, it won’t be honorable, if word gets out..."

Xu Qing’s chanting paused briefly, just as Baiyun Daoist was secretly pleased, but suddenly heard the voice resume, even louder than before!

Baiyun Daoist did not know that the Blessed Lady in front of him, though appearing righteous to the extreme, if her true nature were revealed, no one could call her righteous.

A zombie, righteous?

It’s good if they don’t bite!

Only those who ate poisonous mushrooms or drank fake wine would say such things.

Xu Qing was completely indifferent.

He never adhered to principles when dealing with enemies!

Zombies aren’t favored by heaven, if he didn’t engage in some sinister acts, wouldn’t he have become a zombie for nothing?

Baiyun Daoist struggled to maintain the blood curtain while using hand seals with his left hand, stepping in the Kui Gang Position, setting up a new formation.

Yet, just as he felt a bit relieved, a pungent stench suddenly came from beyond the curtain, Baiyun Daoist glanced to see the sword-holding child somehow drawing a chamber pot, splashing it onto his blood curtain!

As soon as the viscous blood river encountered it, it sizzled and emitted black smoke.

The old Taoist, skilled in alchemical pharmacology, with a simple sniff realized the chamber pot was filled with extremely filthy substances.

Human Yellow, Celestial Mallow Water, boy’s urine... all sorts of unspeakable filth, nothing a young girl should handle!

Isn’t it said cats love cleanliness, how can this Cat Demon’s methods be so dirty?

Seven years ago, when he encountered her, it was not like this...

Baiyun Daoist’s face turned green, then pale, perhaps from the divine water’s stench in the chamber pot.

Ultimately, the blood curtain formed by the Ghost Head Saber couldn’t withstand the combined assault of Xu Qing and Xuan Yu.

Xuan Yu exploited the gap, its eight avatars simultaneously struck with countless cold stars, remembering Xu Qing’s words, aiming all its sword light at every vital point except the throat!

Baiyun Daoist felt surrounded by endless killing intent, any slight mistake would lead to his demise.

In terror, the old Taoist hurriedly abandoned the Ghost Head Saber, then stood firm, forming hand seals to ward off danger, chanting incantations, while his feet firmly planted in the Kui Gang Position, remaining motionless.

The child’s eyes savored the moment, countless sword lights relentlessly fell, yet no matter how it struck, the old Taoist remained unharmed.

The sword light split at the old Taoist’s glabella, shattering the main hall’s gate of Ruyi Temple.

The sword point pierced the old Taoist’s throat, causing the temple’s scripture hall, where disciples usually chanted, to collapse with a crash.

The sword light hit the old Taoist’s chest, creating a massive breach atop the central shrine of Ruyi Temple.

Xu Qing watched the scene before him, feeling an eerie familiarity.

Is this the Substitute Stake method?

At this moment, the Blood Lake Repentance Sutra, recited by Xu Qing, was exhibiting unprecedented effectiveness.

This scripture, acquired from the Daoist of Ruyi Temple, perfectly aligned with Blessed Lady, as if tailor-made.

Who would have thought a traditional Taoist transcendence scripture could become Baiyun Daoist’s death sentence.

Baiyun Daoist struggled to maintain the blood curtain while forming hand seals with his left hand, stepping in the Kui Gang Position, laying a new formation.

Yet, just as he felt slightly reassured, a pungent stench suddenly wafted in from outside the blood curtain, as Baiyun Daoist glanced to the side, he saw the child wielding a sword, at some point, had pulled out a chamber pot, and was splashing it onto his blood curtain!

As soon as the thick blood river was touched, it sizzled and released black smoke.

The old Taoist, adept in alchemy, only needed a slight whiff to recognize that the chamber pot was filled with the foulest substances.
