Chapter Eighty-two: Subduing the Demon

  After a dizziness, Chen Jiu and Li Shimei appeared together in a primitive forest. At this moment, the divine seed of Chen Jiu suddenly moved three times, and then returned to calmness.

  "Is this what's inside the Cave of Heaven?" Li Shimei asked curiously.

  Glancing around, it was all endless trees, each tree tens of meters high, with only faint sunlight refracting down, making the entire forest look very dim.

  "It should be, right? I only know that my junior sister's surname is Li, but I don't know her given name."

  "My name is Li Xinyi, you can call me Xinyi or Xiao Yi."

  Chen Jiou's face was strange: "Young aunt? You're taking advantage of me, actually letting me call you young aunt, thinking highly of yourself".

  "It's not Xiao Yi, it's Xin Yi" Li Xin Yi hastily explained.

  "Isn't it just a homophone? If I call out, who knows what others will think?" Chen Jiou rolled his eyes.

  Li Xinyu was speechless.

  Chen Jiu rubbed his wrist and said, "Everyone says that they want to come to this cave to train, but how do you train?"

  "Probably looking for treasure." Li Xinyi said uncertainly.

  "One step at a time, we can't stay in this forest, it's the most troublesome and dangerous place" After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu took out a piece of paper from his pocket, his fingers moved swiftly, and three human-shaped talismans were done.

  Under Li Xinyu's puzzled gaze, Chen Jiu threw out the talisman paper, and in an instant three sturdy men appeared on the spot.

  Chen Ji instantly jumped onto the back of the strong man, and said to Li Xinyu who was stunned: "Don't you hurry up and get on? This forest is full of dangers, it's too risky for us to walk by ourselves. Let this puppet carry us, one puppet will scout ahead, while the other two puppets each carry one of us."

  "Wow!" Li Xinyu climbed onto the back of a puppet, pinched the puppet's muscles: "How does this feel no different from a real person?"

  "Nonsense! Doesn't he see whose hands this puppet came from?" Chen Jiu said with a smile.

  "Big brother, is this a magic trick?" Li Xinyi asked.

  "Right, orthodox Feng Shui methods".

  "Shixiong is a geomancer, also a martial artist, and still a scholar, this set of identities is really very complicated."

  Chen Ji smiled and didn't answer.

  "A roar~~~~" A loud roar came from ahead, and the entire forest fell silent in an instant.

  "It's a demon beast," said Li Xinyu.

  Chen nodded: "This space has a limit on strength, the body of the demon beast is full of treasures, but unfortunately, I don't know what kind of strength this demon beast has. This place is full of danger everywhere, it's better not to provoke trouble."

  As soon as the words fell, Li Xinyi trembled and said: "Brother, that monster seems to be rushing towards us".

  "I knew it, looks like this trouble can't be avoided" Chen Jiu jumped down from the puppet.

  Looking at Li Xinyi who was about to jump down, Chen Jiu waved his hand: "You don't have to join in the excitement, just go and watch from the side."

  As the monster approached, the earth shook violently, and the land rolled continuously.

  Li Xinyu sat on the back of the puppet, looking relatively far away, seeing the constantly rolling mud, shouting: "Master brother, be careful, it may be a landslide".

  Chen Ji looked cautiously ahead and waved his hand to signal Li Xinyi not to speak.

  That rolling land instantly arrived at Chen Jiu's feet, Chen Jiu instantly jumped up, fiercely kicked the tree trunk with one foot, and his body kept bouncing back and forth between the tree trunks.

  A vague black shadow kept shuttling back and forth in the mud, occasionally drilling out to ambush Chen Jiu, landing after a moment, instantly disappearing into the ground, leaving no trace.

  "Drawing a prison on the ground" three consecutive "drawing a prison on the ground" did not have any extra use, this guy is too cunning and fast. The "drawing a prison on the ground" was originally unable to lock him down.

  "You're really something, you know that? Well, let me tell you, I'm going to make sure you have a hard time today. If not, then don't even think about staying in this place."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu's body shape rose again, and in an instant, his palm struck the ground, the earth was enveloped by a strange wave, and instantly the earth was frozen, harder than refined iron.

  Obviously Chen Jiu's move was also called the "Yao Shou eating a big headache", and he didn't guard against it, coming to Chen Jiu's feet, and being knocked until his nose was blue and swollen.

  His greatest reliance, the Earth-style technique, had lost its effect and was being countered by his opponent. The ground seemed to be hiding something ominous.

  "Don't think about escaping, you should know that the ground is conductive, now taste the feeling of being electrocuted"

  After finishing, under Li Xinyue's astonished gaze, Chen Jiu drew a small cloud in the sky with one hand, and lightning flashed within it. The cloud locked onto Di Shui below, and bolt after bolt of lightning struck down like whips.

  Lightning is the enemy of all living things. Where lightning strikes, poisonous insects quickly move away and monsters from afar run off.

  Feeling the continuous lightning flashing underground, fleeing to a distant place, Chen Jiu didn't stop it, letting the lightning be like a machine gun, striking non-stop.

  "Brother Shi, this move is so cool! But why did you let that Desheng run away?" Li Xinyi asked in puzzlement.

  "Haha, you don't understand this, do you? The place where the earthworm passes through must have been plowed by thunder and lightning, all the monsters and poisonous insects will retreat. We might be able to find the earthworm's lair or the exit along the way it passed."

  "Senior brother is indeed formidable, but how long can your Thunderbolt last?" Li Xinyu asked worriedly.

  "It doesn't matter, the talisman is just a guide and a lock, the thunder and lightning are the heavenly laws that have been guided out by the talisman. As long as the target does not die, the thunder and lightning will not disappear, all the energy consumed comes from this side of heaven and earth."

  Li Xinyi's eyes began to sparkle, but Chen Jiu ignored her and directly controlled the puppet to chase after that demon beast.

  However, ideals and reality always have deviations. Chen Jiu miscalculated this time, but it's not his responsibility. Instead, there was an ignorant bandit who nearly ruined Chen Jiu's plan.

  Chen Jiu's goal was interrupted when he passed through a demon beast territory and was captivated by Di Shui's enchanting appearance.

  Kick a dog when it's down, pick up small advantages, it's not just humans who will do it, monsters also do the same.

  Obviously, in the eyes of this road tiger, this ditch is that fallen dog. As for the thunder and lightning that kept falling from the sky, haha, can't I just keep a distance? Wanting to have gains always requires taking risks, right?

  Looking at the wolf behind him, Chen Jiubang smacked his lips: "This is my prey."

  Li Xinyu was right behind him, so it wasn't convenient for him to use a curse technique that left too obvious of a mark.

  "Alright, the Seal of the Ancients can also subdue you, but it would require more effort. However, the shockwaves from the battle will inevitably spread far and wide, keeping those demonic beasts further away from me, making myself safer. There are pros and cons to this." Chen Jiu looked at Li Xinyi.

  "Sister, help me spread the word, I'll have a duel with that wild wolf."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiubai quickened his pace, stepped on the tree trunk, and landed not far from the wolf.

  The wolf heard a noise and let out a fierce howl, its eyes fixed intently on Chen Jiu, a cruel glint flashing in the depths of its eyes.

  The big mouth opened lightly, a gust of wind blade instantly cut through the sky, slashing towards Chen Jiu's abdomen.

  Chen Jiu had long been eyeing this beast, how could he be ambushed by it? He dodged the Wind Blade with an iron plate bridge and looked at the trees in the distance that were cut down by the Wind Blade. Chen Jiu's hands danced: "This beast's Wind Blade may not be very powerful, but it is absolutely durable."

  A wind seal formed, thousands of wind blades swept through the forest like a storm, and trees turned into dust.

  The wolf howled at the sky, a whirlpool formed by the power of the wind was contained in its mouth, and the wind blade was assimilated and absorbed.

  Then the whirlpool was spat out, and the dense wind blades came back to Chen Jiu again.

  "What's this move?"

  "My god, he's incredibly powerful, can't use wind to counter him" Chen Ji dodged the wind blades while drawing symbols again.

  "The earth fire sweeps across the plain" talisman forms, a massive wildfire heads towards the Earth Wolf.

  The wind borrowed the fire's momentum. The wolf used its old trick again, but this time it really miscalculated, and with the help of the wind, the fire became even more fierce.

  The wolf howled and fled far away.

  "Now you're out of the safe zone, taste the flavor of thunder too!" Chen Jiu's Thunder Seal locked onto the Earth Wolf, and another dark cloud appeared in the sky, with countless lightning whips.

  "Big brother, Di Ze has already run very far, let's hurry and chase after him."
