Slaying the Spirit-Devouring Demon Child

Suddenly, an arc of blade light swept past, severing one of the Spirit-Devouring Demon Child's arms and sending it to the ground.

He let out a low cry, then abruptly opened his mouth and inhaled. A great deal of blood and vitality was drawn straight out of Lin Qing's body. This was sorcery, beyond the realm of martial arts and impossible to explain by ordinary reasoning.

Lin Qing reacted at once, driving the Tathagata Astral Force through his body. In an instant, a layer of golden light covered him, and the flow of blood and vitality within him slowed sharply.

This was what made the Tathagata Astral Force special. It could counter most Evil Spirits and sorcery. Even when it could not grant complete immunity, it could greatly weaken sorcery's effects.

Seizing the moment, Lin Qing thrust his blade. The Spirit-Devouring Demon Child twisted aside and dodged it, but Lin Qing's left fist shot out and struck him square in the chest.

Bang!

A dull thud came from the Spirit-Devouring Demon Child's chest, which visibly caved in. The tremendous force sent him flying once more, and this time, he was gravely injured.

Lin Qing clearly saw a bloody hole blasted in his chest by Astral Qi. Greenish-blue blood sprayed out, turning into a cloud of bloody mist.

When the Spirit-Devouring Demon Child hit the ground again, a trace of fear finally appeared in his eyes.

He rolled to his feet and fled, but Lin Qing had no intention of letting him go. He gave chase at once.

The two moved at astonishing speed, one pursuing and the other fleeing. They covered dozens of paces in a breath and vanished deep into the woods in an instant.

Far behind them, Ma Ziye and the other two could not hope to keep
