Heavenly Demon Kin?
That unique stench produced by brutal methods could be smelled from miles away.
Yet, as that figure drew closer and closer, no one struck. A moment later, the newcomer's five sense organs and orifices spewed wisps of water mist, and he fell forward, moving no more.
The rising smoke still struggled and twisted within the curtain of rain, clearly binding an invisible Heavenly Demon before strangling it clean.
"Dao Hua True Man arrived first!"
Duanmu Senqiu glanced at the changing smoke to confirm its true intent and nature, then looked far into the outline of the old marketplace, clicking his tongue in praise twice.
Among the group of six, Dragon Scar and Ghost Annoyance served as bodyguards and rarely spoke. Ye Chi likely knew his cultivation was too low and also maintained silence. Thus, the vast majority of words came from Yu Ci, Zhai Que'er, and Duanmu Senqiu. Among them, Duanmu Senqiu was considered the most active one—from another perspective, meaning he talked the most.
Yet this remark was not merely praising Dao Hua True Man's speed, but also his demon-subduing methods.
The old marketplace not far ahead had undoubtedly become a devil's lair. On their side, only Dao Hua True Man had likely arrived. This fellow was truly formidable, charging in alone. Even if the Heavenly Demon Kin ran more than ten miles away, they would find it hard to escape annihilation, displaying an effortless level of skill.
Yu Ci turned his head to communicate with Zhai Que'er: "Is it here?"
"If it's this place, Dao Hua might not be so composed. Of course, there's also a chance that—"
Before her voice faded, a clear whistle suddenly rang out from deep within the marketplace, like a crane crying out in the vast sky, clear and distant.
