章 44: I Did Some Exercises, Killing Exercises, Yes, I Murdered Someone Again
Suddenly, the two demons charged forwards at the cultivators. The wall smashed into pieces and the ceiling began crumbling. But luckily, Yu Xuelan and Long Wen swiftly jumped away from the attack.
Long Wen clicked her tongue, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah."
The blind monkey charged at the black-robed cultivator once again. This time, Yu Xuelan deliberately did not dodge his attack completely so the demon clawed into her arm and sunk his teeth into her flesh, gushing blood out from her limb.
"Lin Yuhe!" Long Wen called out.
The cultivator deflected the other monkey with her palms, leaving no time for her to worry about the wounded girl. Her swift movements instantly staggered from exhaustion, but she desperately attempted to conceal her fatigue.
Yu Xuelan moved further away and started crying in pain.
"AH! I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!" She yelled.
She ran away from the demon, but the monkey continued chasing her. Long Wen watched in frustration, noticing her weakness that she could not even kill two low ranks.
Yu Xuelan and the monkey continued running in circles like two children playing a game of tag. Except one was crying in fear, while the other was trying to kill the other with all their might.
"I STILL WANT TO LIVE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!"
She ran behind a wedge of rocks that collapsed during the attack, ducking behind, and made sure her body was fully hidden.
"Lin Yuhe! Come here!" Long Wen yelled.
The demon prepared to charge into Yu Xuelan once again. Just when he started launching himself, he instantly jolted.
He couldn't move. At all.
From behind the rock, Yu Xuelan waved her wounded arm up while making sure Long Wen could not see what she was doing.
The demon before her began flinching and its movements became rigid. Long Wen raised her brows, finding this scene to be like what happened to Liu Bu's bodyguard. The same lifeless body and facial expressions, the same lack of consciousness. It was the same impression.
The impression that they were being controlled.
"What are you doing Toto??" His partner exclaimed.
But the other did not reply.
Long Wen instantly snapped back to the situation and swung a force with her palm at her opponent, causing the demon to fall back.
She hacked out blood, but instantly rubbed it clean, making sure there were no signs of weakness coming from her.
"I need a fat meal after this," Yu Xuelan mumbled as she slowly stood up and glared at the demon in front of her.
The blind monkey lifted his legs stiffly, attempting to change directions, and faced his partner. Long Wen hurriedly jumped away from the demon that was in front of her though she didn't know why but her instincts told her to get away as far as possible.
Suddenly, the blind demon charged towards the other, tackling and smashing him into the wall. As a result, the fragile ceiling crumbled and collapsed down.
Yu Xuelan clicked her tongue in annoyance by the destruction of the upper floor, knowing that it probably alerted the other demons and possibly the Earth Demon God.
"What the heck are you doing?!" the other yelled as he coughed out blood.
The blind demon slammed his body on top of his partner and grabbed ahold of their neck, strangling it like a cloth.
Long Wen noticed the killing intent was stronger than ever, almost higher than those of a Counter rank. But she didn't know how this was possible. After all, for a demon of a low rank to spike a level out of nowhere was extremely strange. It was the same as forcing a cultivator of rank one cultivation level straight into rank three.
The demon hacked and coughed, gripping onto the two arms that were choking him. His arms gradually weakened from the strangle. Soon, he felt his neck slowly being crushed.
Bit by bit.
The demon tightened his grip, ultimately crushing his partner's neck and pulled the head off the body violently, throwing it to the side before letting out an agonizing cry.
"Lin Yuhe! Watch out!"
Yu Xuelan shrivelled back behind the rock. She subtly waved her hand to the right, which caused the monkey to swing his arm up.
Instantly, he smashed the headless body until it was just a lump of undiscernible flesh.
The intricate sound of the bones cracking and the fist soaking through the flesh echoed through the trembling dungeon.
He faced the direction of where the head had flown off to and stomped on it numerous times. The ground trembled and became even more unstable, as though it would collapse any moment and bury all of them even deeper.
Yu Xuelan slowly lowered her palm back down, and the blind monkey's facial muscles relaxed. After twitching for a while, his body flumped onto the ground. His entire body was quivering while he slowly regained his consciousness back.
The demon attempted to stand up but his knees failed to support his heavy body, forcing him to fall down violently.
He glanced over to the rock that Yu Xuelan hid behind as his empty sockets widened in fear. Although demons had already died once, the monkey felt as though he was going through death once again.
Like an endless loop of hell.
Long Wen narrowed her eyes, confused why the demon was looking at that rock with such horror.
"Bobo? Bobo...?" The demon stuttered and covered his head with both his arms, curling down. "No, no, no, no... no, no..."
"I can't see. I can't see. I can't see. Are you dead, Bobo? My fists smell like your blood."
"What's wrong with him?" Long Wen mumbled.
Yu Xuelan glanced out and sighed in relief. However, that relief did not last long. In that instant, she felt a sharp pain in her chest and clenched her lapel before crouching down.
She coughed vigorously before noticing her hands were filled with blood. She expected this to happen sooner since she'd been holding it in since they were at Ming'An Village.
Yu Xuelan didn't bother cleaning her palm since it gave off the appearance that the blood came from the wound inflicted by the demon.
Long Wen slowly walked towards Yu Xuelan who was still hiding behind the rock.
"Are you alright?" Long Wen asked.
"Yeah."
Before they could safely walk out of the dungeon, the demon started sobbing and crying.
Annoyed, Long Wen seethed, "You killed your partner."
"What?! Stop speaking nonsense!" He roared and raised his fist.
But before he can swing it down, his movements immediately stopped once again.
"What?! How come I can't move?!"
For a demon's soul to be completely dispelled from the world, everyone knew one must use a sacred weapon to kill them.
However, there was also another way for a demon's soul to vanish and that's...
If a demon murders another demon.
"Where did you put my sabre?" Long Wen asked sternly.
"Why the fuck should I tell you?!" He grunted, still attempting to swing his arm down only for it to do the opposite.
"Why can't I mo-"
Just as he tried to swing his arm back down, the limb exploded.
The pungent scented blood and skin splattered everywhere. Quickly, Yu Xuelan took a few steps back to make sure the blood did not stain her robes. Sadly, Long Wen was quite unlucky and had the blood splattered on her face and the cloak. She touched her face in disgust and cleaned the stains immediately.
The demon continued to yell and gripped onto his throbbing shoulder. Hearing the loud screams, Yu Xuelan hid behind Long Wen and slowly backed away.
"Should we leave?" Yu Xuelan asked.
"If we could, then we would. This filth is blocking the exit."
Yu Xuelan perked her head up and asked the demon, "Has the Young Master eaten anything today?"
"Why?! Why do you want to know?! You fucking humans!" He raged, still gripping onto his shoulder where his arm had regenerated at a slow rate.
She shrivelled back behind Long Wen in "fear" and waved her finger down behind her back. At once, the demon's right leg ruptured, and he instantly collapsed onto the ground once again.
Yu Xuelan thought he might as well just stay lying on the ground because if he continued falling down, the underground dungeon would surely collapse and bury them alive.
His yells gradually grew louder, even more penetrating than the last. Yu Xuelan rubbed her temples from the headache and if Bo Fan popped up right now from all the noise and commotion, she wouldn't even be surprised at this point.
"What is happening?" Long Wen muttered under her breath, trying to understand the recurrence of strange events.
"Maybe Bo Fan already knows we're here?"
"Probably. Judging by the loudness of this demon's screams, people from across the world would probably hear it."
Just then, Long Wen squinted her eyes and examined the entrance, noticing a small shadow that appeared and disappeared quickly, as though it had been watching everything this entire time.
"Someone, no, something was watching," Long Wen informed.
