The ultimate master in the city

Chapter 61 Demon Cave

Taking a face-to-face stance, Zhou Fengchen was no longer afraid of the old hag. He immediately sidestepped, grabbed her tongue with one hand, and slammed his other hand into her tongue with a powerful hand seal: "Three Radiance Armor Crossing, Breaking Evil, Swift!"

"Ugh!"

The old hag cried out and desperately retracted her tongue. She quickly climbed off Monk Yuanzhi, her body twisting strangely. Saplings sprouted from her skin, growing larger in the blink of an eye and wrapping around the entire room.

Zhou Fengchen chuckled coldly, drew the goose-wing blade hanging from his waist, slashed his palm, and assumed a strange starting stance. Then, his body twisted left and right, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside the old hag's true form. He leaped up and slashed down forcefully, "Demon-Slaying Blade, swift!"

puff!

"what!"

The old hag screamed, her left arm fell cleanly to the ground, green blood sprayed all over Zhou Fengchen's face, and she twisted her body and darted out the door.

The severed arm fell to the ground and quickly turned into a messy osmanthus branch.

Zhou Fengchen kicked away the tree branch and was about to chase after him when the monk Yuanzhi on the bed weakly cried out, "Brother, save me!"

Zhou Fengchen had no choice but to stop chasing and turn back to look at Monk Yuanzhi. He found him pale and covered in cold sweat, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

Monk Yuanzhi forced a smile: "That's tough! That old hag played with me three times, almost draining me dry. Now I'm severely weakened!"

What was supposed to be a serious matter turned into a chuckle when Monk Yuanzhi said it that Zhou Fengchen couldn't help but grin and burst out laughing.

Monk Yuanzhi was extremely frustrated. "Hey brother, stop laughing, help me up, let's run away."

Zhou Fengchen helped Monk Yuanzhi put on his clothes and helped him out the door. Looking around, everything was pitch black. The old witch had escaped, and the patrolling girls were gone. Faint screams could be heard from ahead. He didn't know what had happened.

As they walked, Monk Yuanzhi whispered, "This is too bizarre. The father and son and I were wrapped in tree branches and pulled into a well. I thought we were going to die, but we ended up in a forest of flesh and almost suffocated. Then we ended up here. How did you get here?"

Zhou Fengchen shook his head and said, "Don't mention it. Like you, what happened today is really hard to explain."

Just then, a strange roar suddenly came from afar. Monk Yuanzhi frowned and said, "A snake's roar? Are there pythons here?"

Zhou Fengchen listened carefully but couldn't understand what was making the noise. He said, "Never mind, those two came with us and are in the third room of the fourth row. I wonder if they're dead or not. Let's go check on them."

The two counted the rooms, and when they arrived, they kicked open the door and saw that Xu Ke and his son had been washed clean, their fur shaved off, and were tied to a wooden board. They hadn't had time to steam them yet, and were grinning and groaning. When they saw the two of them come in, they immediately shouted for help.

He let go of the father and son, found a tattered garment for them to wear, and the four of them went out. Zhou Fengchen pondered for a moment, not knowing which way was south, but since all the houses were built facing south, the monsters' houses should be similar, so he pulled them and ran ahead.

The further they ran, the louder the snake's cries grew. Not long after, they turned the corner of a house and were met with a strong, pungent smell of blood. The four of them looked ahead and were stunned.

Not far away, a pile of corpses lay in an open space, some human, some animal, with scarlet blood everywhere. Further away, a girl was fighting with a giant python and an old goat.

The girl, dressed in flowing white, held a sword in one hand and manipulated a talisman in the other, chanting incantations. The old goat opposite her was shrouded in black mist, bleating incessantly, its horns swaying back and forth. The most terrifying creature was the giant python, its entire body blue, its head held high, roaring incessantly. Its lower body was covered in a snakeskin, as if it were shedding its skin.

Monk Yuanzhi's scalp tingled at the sight, and he weakly cried out, "Brother, run! What are these things? My god, they're terrifying!"

Tsui Hark and his son were also terrified and urged, "Yes, yes, let's run!"

Zhou Fengchen shook his head and said, "No, I have to go and take a look."

Monk Yuanzhi was so angry he wanted to stomp his foot, but he couldn't lift his leg. He shouted, "What's so interesting to see!"

Zhou Fengchen rubbed his nose, pointed at the girl, and said, "I think that woman is quite funny."

Monk Yuanzhi and Tsui Hark couldn't help but look over. They saw that the girl's snow-white clothes were covered in bloodstains, her eyebrows were raised, and she looked fierce and terrifying. It was no fun at all.

Monk Yuanzhi was about to get angry when Zhou Fengchen waved his hand and said, "You all wait for me up ahead, I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, he drew his goose-wing knife and ran over.

When you get close, the direct feeling is very strong, and the visual impact is very powerful.

The enormous blue python flicked its tongue, biting and snarling. The old goat stopped butting its horns, its glowing green eyes darting about eerily. The girl, however, remained fearless, wielding her sword and manipulating talismans, chanting: "Heaven and earth are boundless, the universe lends its power, summoning thunder with incantation, so be it!"

Zhou Fengchen was eagerly preparing to rush forward when he heard the woman chanting incantations, and he stopped in his tracks. "Maoshan?"

Before his death, Zhou Daoxing hated the Maoshan Cult the most, saying that they were all show and no substance, pretending to be righteous and engaging in superstitious practices. He would seize any opportunity to teach Zhou Fengchen and Zhou Linglong to stay away from the Maoshan people in the future.

Actually, Zhou Fengchen didn't have any objections to Maoshan, because the bad people his father talked about were often good people, and the good people his father talked about were all people who would steal chickens and dogs. However... since they were from Maoshan, he would have to wait and see.

At this moment, the girl seemed to have used some kind of forbidden spell. Her long sword pointed at the talisman in mid-air, and the talisman scattered a beam of light, shattering the old goat's body into pieces with a single blow. However, before the old goat died, it spoke in human language and cursed, "You damned stinking woman!" A pair of sharp horns flew out and went straight for the woman's lower abdomen.

The old goat's final strike was terrifying. Although the woman dodged quickly, she was still grazed by the goat's horns, and her clothes were instantly stained red with blood.

The giant python seized the opportunity to bite her, trying to swallow her whole. The girl remained calm and composed, threw away her longsword, formed hand seals, and suddenly a hazy light emanated from her body.

The giant snake felt as if it had swallowed a hot coal; it couldn't spit it out, nor could it swallow it down.

The snake and the human were locked in a stalemate.

Zhou Fengchen looked around and found that all the people who had been waiting for the woman at Wenxiang Hall were dead, as were all the patrolling maids. The old goat that had just died must have been the old man, and this python... could it be Qingmang Zhenren?

Amazing! One person taking on an entire group by himself, Zhou Fengchen asked himself, even if he didn't use the forbidden spell his father had repeatedly warned him about, he couldn't do better than this Maoshan girl.

Just then, the python's tail suddenly swept out, smashing a large rock in front of Zhou Fengchen, and it spoke in a human voice: "Brother, I've treated you as an honored guest. Please help me kill this woman, and I have a treasure for you, enough to make you rich and powerful for the rest of your life!"

Zhou Fengchen was taken aback. It was indeed Qingmang Zhenren. Indeed, this snake demon had no grudge against him and had treated him quite well, even giving him a woman as soon as he arrived.

The girl in white had a grim expression and said, "This is a demon's lair. The old snake demon is hiding under the old osmanthus tree, leading a group of mountain spirits to cultivate. Once they achieve their power, countless people will die. I've finally waited for the day it sheds its skin. You decide what to do next."

The old snake grew anxious and said to Zhou Fengchen, "So you're human. That's alright, we can be friends. I've hidden a lot of treasure. As long as you help me, I'll give it all to you."

"This puts me in a difficult position!" Zhou Fengchen scratched his head, then suddenly his figure flashed, and he was at the giant snake's head in a few moments. With a swift movement, he swung his blade: "Demon-Slaying Blade! Die!"

puff!

"Well--"

The enormous snake head was cleanly and neatly severed!

Zhou Fengchen wiped his goose-wing blade. "The old snake has become a demon; it must be killed!"

The girl in white pried open the snake's mouth and crawled out. Without saying a word, she took out a talisman, chanted an incantation, and threw it onto the snake. Instantly, flames shot up.

"Run! This place is going to collapse!" The girl clutched her stomach, picked up her longsword, and staggered forward.

Zhou Fengchen was pondering what kind of talisman she had used when he turned around and saw that the houses not far away were collapsing piece by piece, as if the ice and snow were melting.
