Chapter 57: The Leader of the Heavenly Demons

  Surrounded by over a hundred low-level heavenly demons, the young monk was also under immense pressure. A small, pale blue shield hovered around his body, emitting a faint blue glow to deflect the demons' frenzied attacks.

  This is a high-quality law enforcement equipment, and its defensive effect is indeed not weak. For the time being, Tianmo still can't find any weaknesses.

  There were also several heavenly demons that broke through his psychological weaknesses, transforming into human forms, either sorrowful or severe, constantly disturbing his mind.

  "It's no use, I'd better retreat. I won't be able to wait until that little brat dies." Lian Mei's disciple couldn't help but feel a sense of withdrawal, staring at Su Che crouching on the ground wailing pitifully, yet refusing to die: "I reckon it's probably because that demonic head doesn't want to tear him apart, only planning to devour his soul and occupy his body."

  Just as he was thinking, Su Che let out a strange cry and stood up. His voice had changed greatly, and he let out a beast-like roar: "Haha, the human soul is truly delicious! You smaller ones, I have already occupied this body, you increase your strength, quickly take care of that human."

  "Yes sir, leader!"

  The low-level demons nearby shouted in unison, baring their teeth and pouncing on Lianmei's disciples with reckless abandon, each one seemingly throwing away their lives as they suddenly increased their striking power several times over.

  The azure small shield sparkled, but Lian Mei's disciple secretly lamented: "Just now I didn't expect that a demon king would appear here, these low-level heavenly demons have become much harder to deal with under the command of their leader. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have fallen into such a desperate situation!"

  At this moment, Su Che's expression was ferocious, shouting and yelling, really like a demon puppet possessed by the heavenly devil. It must be known that the heavenly devil occupying the human body can use spiritual symbols and magical instruments, which is the most troublesome thing for Lianmei Dizi.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Su Che walked over slowly and slowly took out a spirit symbol...

  "Terrible!"

  Lian Mei's disciple's face changed greatly. Judging from the fluctuations of the spiritual power in Su Che's hand, it was obviously a high-quality attack spirit symbol.

  Top-grade attack spirit symbol, only foundation-building period or above cultivators can create it, and its power is equivalent to the full-strength blow of a foundation-building period cultivator. Lian Mei's disciple really didn't have the confidence to take it on. Before this, I truly hadn't expected that Su Che, an outer sect disciple at the second layer of Qi Refining, would actually possess a top-grade spirit symbol worth a handsome sum.

  "Hahaha, the human spirit symbol, at this moment, will be used to deal with you humans!" Su Che's eyes turned crimson red, his hoarse voice shook the surroundings: "This kind of thing, is the most interesting ah!"

  With the spiritual symbol about to be activated, Lian Mei's disciple was naturally anxious. For himself, the best way to deal with a high-quality spiritual symbol was to avoid it, but now he was surrounded by hundreds of heavenly demons and could only move slightly, where could he quickly dodge?

  Wow!

  Su Che activated this top-grade spirit symbol, and a golden light suddenly appeared. Immediately afterwards, a giant golden sword with a length of nearly two zhang condensed into shape.

  "Golden Flying Sword Spirit Symbol!" Lian Mei's disciple turned pale and cried out in his heart: "It's over."

  Hiss, hiss, hiss. In an unavoidable situation, he could only continuously trigger three mid-grade defensive spirit symbols, which formed a four-layer defense inside and out with the high-grade law shield on one side. However, even so, he still didn't have the confidence to withstand the terrifying penetrating power of that golden giant sword.

  The golden spell has the strongest penetration power. This golden giant sword, although it doesn't have a physical body and is just a spiritual flying sword, is equivalent to a direct hit from a foundation-building cultivator, with an unmeasurable force.

  "Go!"

  Su Che let out a loud roar, and the golden giant sword swooshed out, instantly traversing over ten zhang of distance, piercing through the bodies of over ten low-level heavenly devils with a "chi la la" sound, before finally crashing into Lian Mei's four-layered shield with a loud boom.

  "Ah!" "Wow!"

  A dozen or so Tianmo pierced by the golden giant sword let out a mournful howl, and were immediately evaporated into nothingness by the overwhelming golden energy. The other Tianmo didn't think much of it; this kind of ruthless abandonment, where one's own kind was slaughtered without hesitation, was extremely normal to them.

  Rumble!

  Lian Mei's four-layered defense exploded with a pale cyan, light yellow, fiery red, and deep blue glow. His high-quality magic shield flew high into the air, clattering as it fell to the ground over a dozen steps away.

  Four-layered defense, yet it was destroyed by a single sword strike from a high-grade spiritual symbol!

  The golden giant sword also exploded, but a small cluster of golden energy remained and slammed into Lianmei's chest.

  Wow!

  Lian Mei's disciple let out a loud cry and was blasted into the air by that burst of energy. In mid-air, his reaction was also extremely fast, and with a swift motion, he once again activated a mid-grade earth-type defensive spirit symbol. Moreover, when he landed, he stood firmly on the ground.

  Su Che muttered a word of regret. A top-grade spiritual talisman had only managed to wound him, not kill him, and he wasn't even seriously injured.

  No need for Su Che to give orders, the number of low-level heavenly demons that surrounded Lian Mei's disciples was no less than a hundred. This time, only a mid-grade spiritual symbol's defensive power protected him, and it would not last long.

  As expected, under the attack of a hundred Tianmo, the defense of the medium-grade spiritual symbol only lasted for more than ten breaths before its light dimmed and it swayed precariously.

  Shua, Lianmei Dizi once again activated a Ling symbol, while he himself was under the protection of the defensive shield, quickly adjusting his inner breath to suppress the injury.

  "There are still many spirit talismans left." Su Che coldly hummed in his heart: "Sorry, before I came, I also bought a lot of spirit talismans."

  However, the current situation does not require Su Zhe to waste his spiritual symbols. The joint attack of those low-level heavenly demons is also not to be underestimated.

  Su Che walked a dozen steps to the right front, bent down and picked up the opponent's dropped shield artifact: "Not bad, a top-grade artifact, when I reach the fourth layer of Qi training, I'll be able to use it."

  On the other hand, Lian Mei's disciples continued to trigger mid-to-low-grade defensive spirit symbols, strenuously defending against the attacks of many heavenly demons. Apart from defensive spirit symbols, he also had attacking spirit symbols, but these heavenly demons were all within arm's reach, and using spirit symbols to attack them would similarly affect himself; flying swords as magical tools had extremely limited lethality against heavenly demons without physical bodies, so he basically had no means of counterattacking.

  However, while defending himself, he still tried to move towards the transmission array, of course, using all his strength to try and escape.

  Su Che would never give him the chance to escape, feeling that it was about time, he would block his path forward, unleashing a mid-grade attack spirit symbol, sending him flying back to an even farther location.

  The Lingbao's attack also hurt some of the Tianmo, but that didn't matter, as more and more low-level Tianmo were being attracted from afar.

  Lian Mei's disciple's face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with despair. However, he still gritted his teeth and remained silent, because he knew that the Tianmo were unreasonable, and pleading with them would be useless, only making them even more arrogant and excited.

  Su Che waited patiently, after all, with the identity of a 'demon head', he could command many low-level heavenly demons to slowly drain his energy, including the spiritual symbols in the Qiankun bag and his own true qi.

  Wow!

  The last low-grade spirit talisman's spiritual energy was exhausted, turning into powder. Lian Mei's disciple let out a loud cry and frantically waved his sword, casting the Crazy Wind Sword Technique, creating layers of sword shadows.

  But this approach is useless, the sword of law that infuses true energy, even if it cuts Tianmo in two, they can still gather together and cannot die, only slightly losing volume.

  Hei hei la la, even the Taoist robe on Lian Mei's body had exerted its only defensive effect, being torn into shreds by countless heavenly devil claws. Lian Mei knew that next to be shredded would be his own body.

  Unexpectedly, the 'demon head' watching from the side ordered all the heavenly demons: "Don't tear him apart, just beat him severely."

  "Obey orders, leader!"

  The demons wailed and cackled with glee, but a single human was hardly enough for them to devour. Even if they tore him apart, no one would gain much from it. However, the leader's order to "seriously injure" made things quite interesting.

  Lianmei's disciple couldn't understand the language of Tianmo, nor did he know what kind of order the demon head had given to his subordinates. However, this was no longer important, anyway, he was already in a desperate situation.

  At this moment, he was extremely regretful in his heart: "Why did I have to target that outer door disciple? What would it have mattered if I had let him go? Now look what's happened... Alas! 'Liu Qing' Shijie once said that one day, I would suffer because of my own narrow-mindedness. It seems she was right..."

  He closed his eyes and waited for death, but was pounded by countless demonic claws, vomiting blood repeatedly, his entire body covered in wounds, a true physical torment under the demonic claws.

  Low-level demons may not have a physical body, but they can condense their demonic powers to create various forms of attacks. Knives, guns, swords, spears, axes, hammers, blunt instruments that bludgeon or sharp ones that cut - all can be conjured up. At this moment, Lian Mei's disciple was being subjected to the relentless pounding of countless small iron hammers, and although he wouldn't die from it, the pain was unbearable.

  Enduring unbearable pain, he began to let out mournful cries, but the demonic executioners were instead wailing with excitement.

  At last, he fainted completely and Su Che shouted loudly: "Stop!"

  The demons all stopped and made way, clearing a path. Su Che still had a strange beast-like voice: "You've played enough, now all of you get lost!"

  The demons dispersed with a loud noise and flew away into the distance.

  Su Che disguised himself as Zhang Kai Daxiao, and with a loud whoosh, he swallowed Lianmei Dizi, who was lying on the ground, into his belly. In fact, he had only caught him in the Xianyin.
