Innate Divine Ability, Controlling Fire and Water!

The root cause of the hunter's disappearance on Partridge Mountain wasn't human intervention, but a demonic disaster.

The reason Nanfeng City asked Li Lantian to come wasn't to save any hunters at all, but to eliminate the Demonic Evil.

Speaking of which, Li Lantian had been famous in Nanfeng City for a long time. With his solid Mid-grade Martial Artist cultivation, he was considered a master in this remote border town in the southern region of the Great Gan.

And when he was escorting caravans in his early years, Li Lantian owed many favors.

As the saying goes, one is a slave to the jianghu; many things were beyond Li Lantian's control.

Perhaps Li Lantian himself never expected that this would be his end.

A long fiery dragon wound its way along the rugged mountain path of Partridge Mountain.

Li Xian looked up at Partridge Mountain in the distance, which lay sprawled on the earth like a giant beast in the darkness, and sighed leisurely.

"Second Young Master Li."

Hearing the voice behind him, Li Xian turned around and saw it was Captain Chen.

"Captain Chen, you can just call me Li Xian."

"Then I'll still call you Young Master Li," Captain Chen said with a smile. "Speaking of which, I've never even met your elder brother."

Li Xian said, "My elder brother has achieved academic success and has been studying at White Deer Academy in Songzhou Prefecture all these years!"

"I see," Captain Chen paused, then said, "Actually, you didn't need to come."

Li Xian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "As a son, I have to come and help my father tidy things up. After all, he was a prominent figure in Nanfeng City. This is just to give him some dignity."

In the darkness of the night, there was an unspeakable silence.

After a long while, Captain Chen spoke again, "This Demonic Evil is not simple. You shouldn't get involved. I don't want to deliver condolences to an old friend's home twice."

The implication was that he himself lacked confidence against this Demonic Evil.

A strange light flickered in Li Xian's eyes.

He had been in this world for a long time, only hearing the name Demonic Evil, but he had yet to see its true form.

The reason he had proactively requested to accompany them to Partridge Mountain this time was partly to collect Li Lantian's remains, and partly to finally meet the so-called Demonic Evil of this world.

As for the matter of safety...

Up to this point, no one in this world had witnessed Li Xian's true full power.

Perhaps, this Demonic Evil of Partridge Mountain would allow Li Xian to unleash his full strength.

"Captain Chen, can ordinary people really not deal with Demonic Evil?" Li Xian asked.

"It's difficult!" Captain Chen shook his head and said, "Even someone as strong as your father, Li Lantian, met an end where he was neither seen alive nor found dead when facing the Demonic Evil, let alone you."

Speaking of which, Captain Chen stared at Li Xian and said earnestly, "Young Master Li, I don't object to your insistence on coming because I acknowledge your filial piety and I will grant your wish. But if you want to return alive, you must not leave my side."

Li Xian smiled, "I'll listen to you."

"Very good."

"Sir, we have a situation ahead."

The procession suddenly stopped. After a brief commotion, a young constable ran up to report.

"Take me to see," Captain Chen said in a deep voice.

Li Xian followed closely and went to investigate.

At the very front of the procession was a dense forest. On the outskirts of the forest, several bodies with eyes wide open in death were hanging. As the mountain wind blew, they swayed in the wind.

This bizarre and terrifying scene weighed down on everyone present like a huge stone.

Finally, it was Captain Chen who broke the stalemate. He said with a hoarse voice, "Take them all down."

These bodies were still wearing constable uniforms. It was clear they were the group sent to eliminate the Demonic Evil a while ago.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed the name!

Li Xian glanced at the faces of these people. He didn't see his father Li Lantian's face and felt a hidden sense of relief.

The county constables were about to step forward to take down the hanging bodies.

Suddenly, a foul wind blew from within the forest.

Li Xian frowned.

Captain Chen's eyes widened in anger, and he let out a loud roar.

"Back!"

The constables at the edge of the forest, not understanding what was happening, all looked back in confusion.

In a flash, a black shadow shot out from the dark forest. In the blink of an eye, several heads fell to the ground.

"A demon, it's a demon!"

"Back!"

"Don't run around!"

Blood spurted, people screamed in terror, flames danced wildly, and the troop instantly fell into chaos.

Only Li Xian and Captain Chen remained seated calmly on their horses.

"Young Master Li, it seems you have more composure than I imagined," Captain Chen said, glancing at him with admiration.

Li Xian replied, "At a time like this, staying by Captain Chen's side is the safest place to be."

Captain Chen chuckled, then his expression turned serious as he slowly drew the long saber from his waist.

With the saber in hand, after a swing, it began to erupt in blazing flames.

This is...

Fire Control?

Li Xian was greatly shocked.

So, in this world, there really were those with innate divine abilities to control fire and water.

In an instant, a foul wind rose again, and the dark shadow reappeared.

This time, Captain Chen had been waiting for a long time, fully prepared.

He leaped from his horse, his movement as swift as an arrow, covering several meters in a flash. The flaming saber in his hand slashed down vertically.

A clang of metal striking metal rang out.

Captain Chen's saber couldn't cut the Demonic Evil?

By the light of the flames, Li Xian got a clear look at the Demonic Evil's true form.

It was covered in thick black fur, with long, thick arms, and a strange face that was neither human nor beast.

At this moment, the Demonic Evil was roaring at Captain Chen with its monstrous mouth agape. Li Xian could even see the ugly yellow teeth inside its mouth.

"It's a Mountain Imp! That's a Mountain Imp!"

Someone screamed in terror.

"Everyone scatter! Let me deal with this fellow!"

Amidst the raging fire, Captain Chen shouted to the panicked troop.

The other constables obediently scattered far away, leaving the battlefield to Captain Chen.

The battle quickly resumed. Captain Chen's flaming saber danced wildly, while the Mountain Imp charged like steel. The scene was exceptionally fierce, with neither side gaining an advantage.

"Ah!"

Just then, Captain Chen suddenly heard several sharp, piercing screams from nearby.
