CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 352: EXORCISING DEMONS

Qingyin Flying Sword advanced relentlessly, moving at incredible speed, reaching the Cat Demon in the blink of an eye.

The Cat Demon, having learned its lesson once before with its front paw severed and blood flowing, wouldn’t make the same mistake again. It immediately attempted to withdraw and dodge the incoming sword.

As a feline creature with power at the Foundation Establishment Stage, this Cat Demon naturally possessed some skills.

Despite its injured front paw, it showed no hesitation in evading the Flying Sword with swift movements, able to still run and leap.

In the blink of an eye, the Cat Demon gathered its strength and leaped to avoid Qingyin Flying Sword’s slash.

Failing to kill the Cat Demon with one strike was within Lu Yuanshan’s expectations.

He once again controlled Qingyin Flying Sword and launched an attack towards the Cat Demon.

The Cat Demon relied on its agility, dodging far away, then let out a roar, its eyes gleaming with black radiance.

With a whoosh, two beams of black radiance shot from the Cat Demon’s eyes, aiming directly at Lu Yuanshan.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, most Demon Beasts typically awaken a Lifebound Divine Technique.

The black radiance bursting from the Cat Demon’s eyes was its Lifebound Divine Technique.

If hit by this black radiance, even a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator would meet their end, let alone Lu Yuanshan.

Facing the oncoming black radiance, Lu Yuanshan dared not be careless, having prepared for it in his mind.

He activated the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc, which flew out of his Storage Bag, grew to the size of a millstone, and guarded tightly in front of him.

With a ding sound.

The two black beams struck the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc and were scattered, losing their lethal force.

The Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc blocked this attack for Lu Yuanshan.

Seeing its Lifebound Divine Technique blocked by a Human Race Cultivator, the Cat Demon bared its teeth and roamed around Lu Yuanshan with a menacing glare, examining its prey like a predator in the hunt.

Facing such a troublesome opponent, the Cat Demon, though low in intelligence, realized that further fighting would likely turn against it.

Instinctively for survival, the Cat Demon made a move.

It unleashed its Lifebound Divine Technique once again, casting two beams of black radiance from its eyes, targeting Lu Yuanshan.

It hoped to buy time to see if it could hurt the opponent and prepare to make a run for it.

This strike was the Cat Demon’s final probe.

"Still daring to come!"

Controlling the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc, Lu Yuanshan grunted low, using the artifact’s powerful advantage once more to block the two beams of black radiance rushing his way.

The black radiance was scattered once again.

Seeing this, the Cat Demon had no desire to continue the fight.

It bared its teeth a few times at Lu Yuanshan, showing a vicious expression before turning and leaping up to land atop the courtyard wall.

By the looks of it, it was clearly attempting to flee.

But Lu Yuanshan wouldn’t let it escape so easily.

The moment the Cat Demon landed on the courtyard wall, Lu Yuanshan employed the Light Body Technique, catching up to the Cat Demon’s pace and landing steadily before it, turning the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc into an attack form to strike at the Cat Demon.

The Cat Demon shrieked in fear, fleeing more desperately, narrowly escaping the strike from the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc without harm.

No sooner had it escaped, it heard the whistling of a sword piercing through the air, heralding the clear sound of a Flying Sword.

At the critical moment, Lu Yuanshan once again controlled the Qingyin Flying Sword, bringing it back against the Cat Demon.

Out of an instinctual drive for survival, the Cat Demon dodged frantically while seeking an opportunity to escape.

Were it not for its innate agility and high flexibility, it wouldn’t have withstood Lu Yuanshan’s assaults with just its Second-Layer Foundation Establishment power, and would’ve long been slain.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhiwei did not act, instead protecting the young girl beside her.

With her brother handling the Second-Layer Foundation Establishment Cat Demon, it was naturally no match for him.

Soon, by the sixth move, Lu Yuanshan seized the opportunity, identifying a flaw in the Cat Demon, striking with a close-range sword attack.

The Cat Demon was shocked, all its actions passive at this moment.

It greatly feared this Flying Sword.

The previously severed paw still hurt immensely, fuelling its anger and hatred towards Lu Yuanshan, wishing to tear him to shreds.

To avoid the Flying Sword, the Cat Demon continued dodging in pain, exhausting all its skills to evade this lethal strike.

However, its speed couldn’t compare to that of the Qingyin Flying Sword.

Lu Yuanshan found yet another flaw in it, making a near-certain strike.

With a splatter.

A streak of sword light pierced through the Cat Demon’s body.

The Qingyin Flying Sword was unstoppable, moving with astonishing speed, cleaving the Cat Demon into halves in the blink of an eye, its body falling into the courtyard, blood splattering.

This Cat Demon, which brought havoc to Little River Town, was slain by Lu Yuanshan with a single sword strike.

"Big brother, according to the old man earlier, the Demon Beast wreaking havoc in Little River Town was only this Cat Demon."

"Now that we’ve eradicated the Cat Demon, Little River Town should be safe."

Seeing Lu Yuanshan had slain the Cat Demon, Lu Zhiwei spoke softly at this moment.

"No rush to leave, let’s search thoroughly once more to ensure no remnant foes remain."

Lu Yuanshan gently shook his head, intending to investigate Little River Town further for any hidden Demon Beasts.

The young girl witnessed the Cat Demon’s death and marveled at Lu Yuanshan’s skills, having only known life in Little River Town, never witnessing a Cultivator.

Moreover, seeing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator slay a demon at such close range was utterly fascinating.

The fear she felt from the Cat Demon’s earlier attack had largely diminished.

Looking again towards the Cat Demon’s corpse, it was hard to imagine that the once proud and majestic Cat Demon was now reduced to a cold corpse, slain by a Cultivator’s sword.

"Immortal Master, Immortal Master!"

At this moment, at the courtyard gate, came the voice of an elder with white hair, accompanied by the sound of bustling footsteps.

Several villagers from Little River Town, following the white-haired elder, arrived in the courtyard, aware that Lu Yuanshan and his sister had dealt with the demon here.

The commotion from the earlier battle easily attracted attention.

Lu Yuanshan turned his gaze, seeing six or seven villagers entering the courtyard, keeping a calm expression.

"It’s the Cat Demon!"

"It’s that big cat!"

Upon entering the courtyard, everyone’s eyes, including the white-haired elder’s, quickly fixed on the Cat Demon’s corpse on the ground, gasping under their breath.

They were filled with curiosity at seeing such a large cat for the first time.

"The creature that terrorized our Little River Town must be this big cat!"

"Wonderful! The demon is vanquished!"

"Thank you, Immortal Master, thank you!"

Amidst the bustling voices filled with gratitude and amazement, the townsfolk surrounded the Cat Demon’s body, inspecting and discussing, some still fearful, not daring to approach too closely, watching from afar.

Although a mortal eye couldn’t determine the Cat Demon’s strength.

Seeing its size and recalling the injuries it caused in recent days, they didn’t need to guess anymore—this big cat was the scourge of Little River Town.
