Chapter 292 The first time to subdue demons
The Yu family's caravan has been traveling between counties in Cheng'an Prefecture for a long time, so it naturally has experience in dealing with demons. The twelve carriages in their caravan from beginning to end are all affixed with talismans. No matter where the devil sneaks in, it will be sensed by the talisman!
The flame turned from the burning talisman followed the demonic energy and hit the blurry figure. With a hiss, the flame was extinguished.
“Devil-killing arrow!”
With a loud shout, nine archers in the caravan simultaneously took out a special arrow from the quiver. This arrow was engraved with a large number of symbols. Patterns contain magical power. The nine men drew their bows and shot arrows in one go, all pointing directly at the devil.
The archers who can carry demon-killing arrows are all masters of martial arts. They are extremely powerful and fast. The nine arrows can reach the demon in almost the blink of an eye.
"Puff puff puff!!!" The devil's figure was ghostly, but he only dodged three of the arrows, and the other six arrows still shot into his body. When it hit, each arrow erupted with powerful mana fluctuations. The arrow shafts were all turned into powder under the strong impact, and the discarded metal arrows fell to the ground.
"Ugh, it really hurts."
The demon stabilized his body in mid-air. He was a tall, thin man with a hooked nose. The wounds on his body healed quickly, and his eyes were filled with blood. The light glanced at the many people in the caravan.
Although the fog spread, most people could still see clearly the appearance of the devil and the pair of bloody eyes.
"It's the devil."
"The devil is coming."
Many people in the caravan panicked.
"Don't panic, the Yu family firm can deal with this devil." Someone also shouted.
Everyone present has heard the legend of the devil since they were children, and no one dared to run around. You can still stick together in the caravan, and there are still experts from the Yu family to resist. If you leave the caravan... and encounter the devil, it will be a dead end.
"There is actually a demon." Zhao Zhen was surprised and trembling, "This is the first time I have seen it in my life."
"Stay away." The old man of the Zhao family on the side was nervous and solemn, and he was alive. Over time, I became more and more aware of the horror of demons.
Xu Jingming had already stepped forward in the chaos, and Wu Qi had been following his young master. Xu Jingming looked at the demon: "Ordinary talismans can't hurt him at all. Six demon-killing arrows hit him... slightly injured!"
Xu Jingming is also judging the strength of this demon.
If you encounter an old demon, you will naturally turn around and run away without saying anything!
The person in charge of the Yu family business over there, ‘Yu Sanye’, also found that the six demon-killing arrows had no significant effect, and felt that something was not good.
"Devil."
Yu Sanye shouted, holding a golden talisman in his hand, and said loudly, "This is the true fire talisman. If you don't retreat, I will let you try it." The taste of real fire."
"What about the real fire talisman? You will all die today!" The devil laughed and attacked the nearest caravan guard.
Boohoo! ! !
Another nine demon-killing arrows enveloped the demon.
“Run away!” Mr. Yu shouted unwillingly. Everyone in the caravan heard the voice and understood that the devil was too strong! The Yu family's caravan couldn't resist either. The caravans had already formulated an escape plan, carrying valuables with them, and each one of them had to escape for their lives.
"It's over, it's over, this happened when the family moved to Fucheng." The old man of the Zhao family turned pale, and he took his son and other family members to start running for their lives.
"Chen Qi, run away quickly." Zhao Zhen also shouted to Xu Jingming in the distance. At this moment, Xu Jingming was relatively close to the devil.
"I encountered such a powerful old demon this time. Even the demon-killing arrows are useless, and the real fire talisman cannot scare him away." Yu Sanye felt bitter in his heart. Ordinary newly born human demons, or Ordinary demons, demon-killing arrows are usually enough to severely damage or even kill them. "You can only escape with your valuables! It is estimated that many people will die, and there will be loss of personnel and goods. I am afraid that tens of thousands of dollars will be lost." Two pieces of silver.”
Although the profits of running a business are huge, the risks are also huge!
"I have been escorting the caravan for twenty years and have encountered demons more than thirty times. But this is the third time that I have been forced to flee for my life." Mr. Yu secretly thought, he carried the True Fire Token Fu, under normal circumstances the devil would not stare at him! After all, he was in a hurry, so Mr. Yu had no choice but to release this true fire talisman.
Yu Sanye quickly rushed towards his nephew in the caravan, preparing to escape with him.
“Third uncle, look!” The nephew looked into the distance in shock.
Yu Sanye turned his head and saw that in the mist, a net of starlight had already enveloped and restrained the devil. A young man wearing a starlight robe was standing nearest. Looking at the devil without fear, the other people had already stayed away.
"Demon-slayer!"
The demon roared hoarsely, and the roar resounded throughout the caravan, attracting the attention of many people who were about to flee for their lives.
“It’s the demon-slayer.”
“There is the demon-slayer! We are saved!”
Everyone was excited and looked at the man in the starlight robe youth. Xu Jingming's attire at this moment can be guessed at a glance that he must be the legendary 'Devil-Slayer'.
"Huh?" Zhao Zhen and Mr. Zhao's family also looked at Xu Jingming in shock. The companion who chatted with them along the way and ate with them turned out to be a demon slayer?
"Open it!!!"
The devil, who looked like a tall, thin man with a hooked nose, was swelling and expanding at this moment, and his hands were like sharp claws grasping the snare, trying to tear it open.
He struggled hard, sometimes rushing to the left, sometimes rushing to the right, kicking and tearing with both hands and feet, and the tearing lasted for several breaths, and then with a 'collapse' sound, a starlight rope broke. The starlight of the entire snare dimmed a little, which made the devil happy and he tore it apart even harder.
"The devil is about to escape." Someone shouted in panic, and everyone in the caravan was very uneasy.
Could this demon-slayer be no match for this demon?
Xu Jingming looked up and commented secretly: "With my third-level magic power, the Dacheng-level snare technique is indeed tough enough! At least it can count for several breaths, making it impossible for this devil to break free. Now I have only torn apart one or two starlight ropes, and the entire network has not collapsed.”
Although I have practiced three spells, this is my first time facing an enemy, so I naturally have to confirm the advantages and disadvantages of the spells in order to use them more in the future. Good for enemies.
"Roar!!!"
As the devil's ear-piercing sound resounded for a mile or two around, many people in the caravan covered their ears in fear, and the devil finally tore it apart again. Two starlight ropes drilled out from the torn hole.
Xu Jingming then pressed the seal with his hand, and his magic power activated the power of heaven and earth.
“Destroy!” Xu Jingming shouted.
I saw thunder spawning out of thin air in the sky, twisting like a snake, dazzling, and the moment it spawned, it struck down at the demon head.
"Bang!"
Thunder struck and the sound exploded and roared.
With just one blow, the demon's body was blasted with several holes as soon as he had emerged from most of his body. As if there was a leak of wind, the demon's consciousness was blown into blank for an instant and was completely blinded.
Thunder spell is a very powerful spell to deal with demons! In terms of destructive power, it is much more terrifying than the binding snare technique.
After striking the first thunderbolt, Xu Jingming did not stop at all, his magic power was activated with a thought.
Bang! Bang!
After the initial thunder struck, the second and third thunder struck!
Instant spell, the thunder will naturally continue continuously! The three thunderbolts all focused on the demon, chasing after the demon and bombarding him.
"Why is this lightning technique so terrifying!" As soon as the demon regained consciousness, he saw the dazzling white second thunder reaching his eyes, bang! Thunder exploded, roaring in the devil's consciousness.
This second thunder completely shattered the demon's body!
The third thunder made the devil turn into nothingness! There is only a trace of the remaining demonic energy left to escape! Xu Jingming's spiritual power can be clearly sensed.
"Collect it!"
Xu Jingming controlled the snare, and the damaged snare quickly recovered, covering the surrounding area and the remaining trace of demonic energy.
The net quickly shrunk, trapping this trace of demonic energy into a small ball of starlight.
At this time, Xu Jingming took out a black jade bottle from his arms, pulled out the cork, and the starlight ball fell into the black jade bottle, and then corked it.
“The demon’s natural demonic energy is composed of obsessions. If the obsessions persist, they will remain immortal.” Xu Jingming secretly said, “It takes a demon subduer to refine the demon with his mind! Destroy him."
"Seventh-level and even eighth-level starry beings come to the demon-slaying world to refine their souls!"
"However, this is also the riskiest, and we must be cautious."
Psychic refining is a collision between the soul and the soul.
On the one hand is the thought of the demon-slayer! One side is the obsession of the devil! The collision of the two minds is also the most dangerous collision. If the devil loses, his obsession will dissipate and completely die. If the demon-slayer loses, his soul will be hurt!
"On the road, it is not suitable for spiritual refining." Xu Jingming secretly said, "You must have a stable environment and adjust to the best condition before refining the spiritual demon."
Xu Jingming Put this jade bottle into your arms.
The jade bottle is relatively cheap black jade purchased in Bai County, but the jade is delicate and has the effect of blocking evil spirits. After Xu Jingming personally carved the runes in the "Ten Thousand Stars Demon Refining Scroll" and poured in a burst of magic power, this ray of natal demonic energy could be sealed for a longer period of time.
Of course, the magic power needs to be replenished regularly, otherwise the devil will escape.
"Yu He, I've met you sir." Mr. Yu was already smiling, running over and bowing respectfully.
He was particularly grateful to this demon-slayer at this moment, because with this demon-slayer, the caravan lost many people and no goods were lost!
"Third Master, this is Master Chen Qi from Bai County." The steward rushed over and whispered.
Seeing this, Xu Jingming frowned slightly and said, "My surname is no longer Chen. My surname is Wu. Just call me...Wu Ming."
The name Wu Ming was researched by himself in the early Yuan Dynasty. The hospital’s public code name! It was originally the name I used publicly when walking outside. Of course, the probability of meeting someone who knows the meaning of the code name "Wu Ming" in the world of demon-slaying is very low.
After all, there are very few forces who know the code names of the peripheral members of the Yuanchu Research Institute.
"Wu?" Mr. Yu nodded when he heard this, "I was in Bai County and heard about Mr. Wu. The Chen family did bully people too much. They were blind and forced Wu away. "Mr. Wu, do you plan to live in Fucheng in the future?" Mr. Yu asked again.
"Yeah." Xu Jingming nodded.
Yu Sanye said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, you took action this time and killed the devil. You are doing me a kindness to the Yu family! I have nothing to repay in the Yu family. I happen to have some property in Fucheng. I would like to I’ll give you a different courtyard for you to stay, Mr. Wu.”
“Another courtyard?” Xu Jingming said. He said, "The value of a villa in Fucheng is not low."
"Sir, you saved many lives in the caravan, saved the goods, and saved my family from losing tens of thousands of taels of silver! Compared with this, what is a separate courtyard? Our Yu family still has an advantage." Mr. Yu said.
Xu Jingming looked at him, then nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll accept it."
It's not cheap to hire a demon breaker to deal with the devil!
Because the seventh- and eighth-level people came to the demon-slaying world to deal with the demons, their failure ranged from losing 100 million cosmic coins to severely damaging their souls. Therefore, the invitation from the aboriginal people usually comes at a high cost.
"We still have a few days to go to Fucheng. Sir, please get in the carriage and rest." Mr. Yu was very enthusiastic and immediately vacated a carriage to invite the demon-slayer to rest.
“Yes.”
Xu Jingming nodded, immediately took Wu Qi, and also invited his friends Zhao Zhen and Zhao’s father’s family to come together in the carriage. There was room for several people in the carriage. of.
"The surname is Wu?"
"Chen Qi is actually a demon slayer!"
"The Chen family is really blind, expelling such a powerful demon slayer from Chen family "
"If they knew this news, the Chen family would probably regret it. Crazy, a powerful demon-slayer. Even the Yu family’s caravan can’t stop him... Young Master Chen Qi can even deal with such a demon-slayer.”
< br>"My name is no longer Chen Qi, but Wu Ming! I have to call him Mr. Wu."
"I took my maiden name."
Many people in the caravan watched Xu Jingming get into the carriage, and they all talked in low voices. They were excited about surviving the disaster and were grateful for Mr. Wu's life-saving grace. Naturally, they instinctively stood on the side of "Mr. Wu".
……
In the carriage.
Zhao’s father and others were a little cautious.
"Chen..." Zhao Zhen couldn't help but said, "You changed your name? Wu Ming?"
Xu Jingming nodded.
"It's better to change your name and disassociate yourself from the Chen family." Zhao Zhen agreed with his friend, and then couldn't help but said, "Why did you suddenly become a demon-slayer? I heard that it is very difficult to practice to become a demon-slayer. It requires opportunity and luck.”
“Yes, the qualification requirements are also very strict.” Xu Jingming nodded.
Psychic power is the greatest threshold.
For example, when Xu Jingming first reached the seventh level, before he experienced the test of the mysterious land, his spiritual power could only be cultivated into the 'first level' magical power. After passing the test of the mysterious land and practicing the inheritance of the Yuanchu Star lineage, and reaching the ordinary level of seventh-level starry sky life and soul power, only then can one develop the second level of magical power.
Now that I am able to reach the third level, in addition to practicing contemplation for more than two months, I also have the assistance of Ice Flower Spiritual Liquid.
This shows how high the threshold for cultivating demon-subduers is!
"Then I will definitely not be able to do it." Zhao Zhen sighed.
Xu Jingming smiled and said nothing more.
...
“Third uncle, do you want to give a villa to the demon conqueror?” The nephew couldn’t help but said, “Our Yu family’s villa in Fucheng costs two thousand taels at least. , Just give it away like this?”
“The demon-slayers don’t care much about money.” Mr. Yu looked at his nephew and said, “He likes you and doesn’t need it. Money is willing to help you deal with the demon. If you are not willing, they will not give you a hundred thousand taels or even more money, so it is very important to build a good relationship with the powerful demon-slayer. Normally, if you are well served, it will be easier to ask for help at critical moments."
The nephew nodded slightly.
"This Mr. Wu is the young master who was expelled from the Chen family. He is young, but is such a powerful demon-slayer. He is obviously very talented." Mr. Yu said, "It may be a long time. As time goes by, he will be a popular figure among the many demon-slayers in Cheng'an Mansion."
The nephew understood: "Uncle, I understand."
******
Xu Jingming has no intention of hiding his identity as a demon slayer. Talents will come to you for help, and you can find the devil more efficiently.
The next journey was much smoother, and the Yu family also made Xu Jingming comfortable. All kinds of fruits, wine and food were carefully prepared on the journey.
Eleven days after leaving Bai County, at dusk, the caravan finally arrived in Fucheng.
"We have arrived in Fucheng."
"We finally arrived in Fucheng."
"Fucheng, here I come!"
The caravan was busy, and many people were excited.
Xu Jingming also opened the curtain and saw a huge city in front of him, which was also the largest city in the entire Cheng'an Prefecture.
"Fucheng." Xu Jingming nodded slightly, checked in first, and then went to the Qi family to visit 'Qi Xiao'. (End of this chapter)
