Battle Against Two Demons

However, upon reflection, Bi Changchun's predicament becomes understandable. Imagine, within this vast Demon Ghost Domain, demons and monsters roam freely. If no one were to restrain them, what would become of the world? If these creatures were to invade the human realm, the so-called Cultivation World would be utterly unable to withstand such immense power, and the human world would descend into chaos. To subdue these demons and monsters, reasoning with them is likely useless; often, ruthless methods are more effective. Bi Changchun, in charge of the Demon Ghost Domain, may seem to bear the burden of countless killings, but in reality, he saves countless lives.

After thinking it through, Yue Qianchou's fear turned into admiration. He thought that other Spirit Transformation stage cultivators would not want to be bound by anything anymore, but Bi Changchun abandoned his family and was bound by this Demon Ghost Domain for nearly two thousand years. His responsibility was heavy and his actions were admirable! Yue Qianchou was a little depressed. He had gone to great lengths to get the position of Punishment Envoy, but once he actually got it, the burden on his shoulders would be huge. To put it nicely, he would be responsible for the well-being of all living beings.

"Whatever, let's get it first. If it doesn't work out, we can find someone else to take over." Yue Qianchou quickly came to a decision, glanced around, and asked, "Peach Blossom, where is that old demon's true form hiding?"

"I don't know the exact location, but it's definitely hidden among the green vines covering the ground under this cliff," Peach Blossom said somewhat uneasily.

"I see!" Yue Qianchou frowned. All the green vines looked pretty much the same; who knew which one was hiding the old demon? Without thinking further, he flashed and flew over the field of green vines on his sword. He released his Divine Sense to examine each patch, believing that this old demon, who had cultivated for a thousand years, must be somewhat different from the other green vines.

I was shocked when I checked. Just as Peach Blossom had said, there were pebbles of all sizes under the green vines. It was probably the result of the shattering of that half-mountain. The green vines grew by sprouting from the cracks in the rocks. Even if I found the Old Demon's hiding place, if it stayed hidden underneath, I would have to put in a lot of effort to dig it out.

Starting from where the two had just stood, he scanned the area with his Divine Sense, sword at the ready. After a few rounds, he noticed something amiss at the foot of the stone wall. The vines within a radius of several dozen meters below were all growing from a single plant. It would be strange if such a massive system of branches wasn't sentient.

"Old Demon, get out here!" Yue Qianchou shouted, staring down below. The other flying swords that had been stored in his Storage Bag sprang out again and circled around him. However, despite calling out several times, there was no response from below.

Yue Qianchou raised an eyebrow and shot out more than a dozen flying swords, hacking wildly at the tangled old vines below. With each swing, he became even more certain that he had not made a mistake. It often took several sword strikes to cut a single vine. If it were not a monster, how could ordinary green vines be so tough?

"Fine, you won't come out! Fine, as long as you don't mind, I'll slowly chop you down." Yue Qianchou chuckled and produced more than a dozen flying swords. Immediately, a series of clanging sounds rang out below as dozens of flying swords rose and fell, slashing wildly.

He was standing in mid-air watching the spectacle with great interest when suddenly a sharp shout came from afar, "Who is it? How dare you hurt my true form! Stop right now!"

The voice was sharp and urgent; it was a woman's voice. Yue Qianchou was startled. Had he made a mistake? The flying swords that had been wildly slashing below were retrieved to his side. A moment later, a figure swiftly approached. An old woman appeared before him, dressed in hemp clothing, looking quite aged. Her hair was tied up in a bun with several green vines covered in leaves, and she held a vine cane in her hand.

"Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why do you hurt my true form?" the old woman shouted angrily, pointing her finger. Peach Blossom, who was standing at a distance, saw the old woman coming and quietly retreated into the woods.

Yue Qianchou glanced at the haphazardly cut vines below and asked in confusion, "Are you Old Lady Teng?"

"Since you know it's me, then you've come here deliberately to cause trouble." Old Lady Teng brandished her cane, ready to attack. Yue Qianchou quickly waved his hands and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's absolutely a misunderstanding, I didn't mean to."

"Old woman, you must avenge me!" The Old Monster Teng appeared out of nowhere again, raising his hands with ten missing fingers, looking pitiful.

Yue Qianchou turned around, his face darkened, and he sneered, "Old man, not going to hide anymore?"

Old Lady Teng stared at her husband's hands, trembling with rage, and said, "Did you do this?"

"Hmph! Old woman, don't be so hasty. Let's find out who did this first. By the way, your man is having an affair behind your back, and you're still defending him like this. I even brought the victim of your husband's abuse here. Peach Blossom, huh? Peach Blossom?" Yue Qianchou called several times but received no response. He turned his head and looked around, but the demoness had vanished without a trace, abandoning him and running away alone. Yue Qianchou wasn't angry; instead, he let out a cold laugh, "What an ungrateful little vixen."

Then he pointed at Old Monster Teng and Old Lady Teng and said, "And you guys, I think you're all tired of living."

When Old Lady Teng heard Yue Qianchou say that her husband had taken a concubine, she immediately fixed her gaze on Old Monster Teng. But Old Monster Teng's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "What are you hesitating for, old woman? Let's join forces and kill this little thief!"

Having said that, he raised his arms, and his missing fingers instantly transformed into two long whips as thick as thighs, which slammed down fiercely on Yue Qianchou, who was half-floating on his sword. Yue Qianchou sneered, "Heh heh! Very good! Very good!" He immediately dodged, and the two whips missed their mark, smashing two rocks below to pieces with a loud "bang." Then they sprang up like snakes, sweeping wildly across Yue Qianchou.

Yue Qianchou leaped several meters from the flying sword, two long whips chasing after him, grazing his heels. The flying sword below circled around and caught Yue Qianchou again. Yue Qianchou flicked his hand and pointed, sword shadows swaying and cold light flashing, nearly a hundred flying swords shooting towards Old Monster Teng.

Old Monster Teng was shocked. He withdrew his whips to protect himself, and the whips twisted and bounced wildly, immediately blasting away many flying swords, but many more still passed through. Terrified Old Monster Teng screamed and used his whips as a crutch, propelling himself into the air. Old Lady Teng's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking. Seeing her husband forced into this situation, she did not offer any help.

"Hurry!" Yue Qianchou shouted, and the flying swords that had been dodged immediately reversed and shot back at the Old Monster Teng in the air. The old monster screamed and dodged wildly in the air, but unfortunately, his speed was slowed down by the two huge whips in his hands. Several flying swords were still stuck to his thighs, and the old monster let out a miserable scream in the air.

"Split!" Yue Qianchou chanted again, and the flying swords that were pinned to Old Monster Teng's thighs twisted and turned wildly, piercing through his thighs and shooting in all directions. Old Monster Teng let out another miserable howl as one of his thighs was severed from his body by the flying swords and fell from the air. A spray of green liquid exploded from the base of his thigh, scattering and dripping in the air.

"My leg..." Old Monster Teng cried out in anguish. His twin whips, which had been formed from his arms, went limp, and he fell to the ground beside Old Lady Teng. He propped himself up on one leg and turned back to roar angrily, "You old hag, do you really want me to die in front of you? Ah! Here we go again." A group of flying swords circled in the air before shooting at him again.

Old Lady Teng snorted coldly. After all, he was her own man, so she finally made her move. She swung her rattan cane around and flung it into the swarm of flying swords. With a series of clanging sounds, the flying swords were immediately deflected into pieces. Then, the rattan cane spun around and shot towards Yue Qianchou with a whoosh.

As for the remaining flying swords, Old Lady Teng calmly untied the rattan belt from her waist, flicked it with her hand, and with a "whoosh," it transformed into a long whip. Old Lady Teng swung it out like a snake, swirling it through the air to ensnare the flying swords...
