161. Chapter 160: Showing Off His Talent
Chapter 160: A Budding Talent
Chaos reigned within the Guangling City market.
Countless demons, riding on demonic mists, surged from all directions, pouring into Guangling City, endlessly attacking.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sounds of battle soared to the heavens.
Tong Yuncong, possessing the Blade Soul Spirit Body, wielded his blade with divine skill. The treasured blade in his hand unleashed sharp, powerful Qi, slicing through the sky, each strike drawing blood.
After a bloody battle, countless demons fell by Tong Yuncong's hand.
Lesser demons of the Postnatal Realm were too numerous to count, slain without end.
Among them were even two demons of the Congenital True Qi Realm.
The Hong brothers and An Kang were equally bloodied, their clothes soaked crimson.
They fought for an unknown duration.
Before long, the sounds of metal clashing and horses galloping echoed from the mountains and fields.
"Da-da-da!"
Iron cavalry charged from the distant forest, a flag emblazoned with a dragon coiled around a tiger fluttering in the wind.
"Shuu shuu shuu!"
A rain of arrows filled the sky.
From the distant dense forest, a figure clad in golden armor charged forth, defying the demonic winds and mists. Wherever he went, demonic corpses flew, unstoppable!
"It's the Dragon-Tiger Banner! The Demon Suppression Division of the imperial court has arrived."
Within Guangling City, someone exclaimed in surprise, their face filled with excitement.
"Commander Wei of the Demon Suppression Division is here."
Wei Tanzhi was a well-known figure in Qingmu County. Upon seeing his figure, the people of Guangling City cheered in unison, breathing a collective sigh of relief.
"The people of the Demon Suppression Division are always late."
Tong Yuncong couldn't help but mutter under his breath upon seeing this scene.
"Indeed!"
Qiu Kang and the Hong brothers nodded in agreement, harboring no fondness for the Demon Suppression Division.
"Hall Master Tong, reinforcements from the Demon Suppression Division have arrived. We'll keep an eye on things here. Earlier, I seemed to see several powerful demonic mists break through the defenses."
The Guangling Warden shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Tong Yuncong and the others' expressions changed slightly.
"What strength of demons?"
"Suspected Congenital demons, possibly even Congenital Condensing Core Realm demons."
The Guangling Warden replied without hesitation. During the fierce battle just now, he vaguely glimpsed a powerful demonic mist breaking through the defenses and surging into the Guangling market.
The aura within that demonic mist was extremely powerful, seemingly not an ordinary Congenital True Qi Realm demon.
"What!"
Tong Yuncong, An Kang, and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Although they didn't know what had happened in Guangling City, he vaguely sensed that this group of demons was related to their junior brother, Hua Yu. Their target was likely An Hua Yu.
"Hua Yu is in danger."
Tong Yuncong, An Kang, and the others were greatly alarmed, their scalps tingling.
Junior brother An Hua Yu was the master's youngest son. Although the master scolded him every day, they, as disciples, could see that the master loved Hua Yu the most.
"Senior Brother Hong, Hua Yu is in danger. Help me hold them back."
"Junior Brother Tong, go ahead."
Hong Tianxiao brandished his staff, repelling the Congenital demons around him, and leaped forward.
"I'll assist you!"
Hong Tianxiao unleashed his martial arts in a grand and unrestrained manner. His staff was imbued with Qi, sweeping across the area, instantly blocking the Congenital demons in front of Tong Yuncong.
With someone sharing the burden, Tong Yuncong was able to break free.
Immediately, without much thought, he rushed towards the apothecary.
"I'm going too!"
Without a word, An Kang also sought an opportunity to break free and rushed towards the Guangling apothecary.
The two left the battlefield, unhindered, instantly transforming into afterimages, their speed astonishingly fast.
Before even entering the Guangling apothecary, from afar, the two felt a powerful, dense baleful aura.
"It seems there really is a Congenital True Core Realm demon!"
Tong Yuncong exclaimed in surprise, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"It's over."
An Kang's face was even paler.
Immediately, the two increased their speed, unleashing their full power.
Before long, the two arrived at the Guangling apothecary.
In that instant, both Tong Yuncong and An Kang's hearts leaped into their throats.
"Junior brother, junior sister!"
Tong Yuncong and An Kang used their lightness skill, rushing into the Guangling apothecary.
The next moment, the two were stunned.
The reason was none other than the battle in the Guangling apothecary having already ended. The scene of the Guangling apothecary's apprentices and disciples dying tragically, blood flowing like a river, and demons gnawing on corpses, a scene of purgatory, that they had imagined did not occur.
On the contrary,
Within the Guangling apothecary, countless demonic corpses lay scattered, blood flowing like a river, a pungent and nauseating stench of blood assailing the nostrils.
The apothecary's apprentices and Medicine King Valley disciples were currently cleaning up the battlefield, with some reinforcing the defenses.
Even upon seeing the sudden arrival of the two, some of the apothecary's martial instructors were wary, intending to attack, until they recognized Tong Yuncong and An Kang, only then did they stop, their faces filled with joy:
"Hall Master!"
"Mm!"
"Where are Helmsman Qiu and Helmsman Yu?"
"They're resting in the backyard!"
Nothing happened?
Upon hearing this, Tong Yuncong and An Kang couldn't help but rejoice, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Could it be that the Warden misjudged, and what slipped in wasn't a Congenital True Core demon?
Curious, Tong Yuncong and An Kang immediately lifted their legs and strode towards the backyard.
However, upon arriving at the backyard, the two's expressions changed slightly.
The reason was none other than a dense baleful aura assailing their faces in the backyard courtyard.
Immediately afterward, the corpses of three giant dog-headed demons were presented before them, blood staining the courtyard red.
Two large dog heads, having fallen to the ground, stared wide-eyed, filled with unwillingness.
"Glug glug!"
Tong Yuncong and An Kang were both seasoned veterans. Upon seeing the demonic corpses, their rich experience allowed them to immediately see the clues, their faces filled with shock.
"Congenital True Core Realm demons!"
An Kang exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief:
"Who killed them!"
"I killed them!"
A crisp, clear female voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, two figures walked out from inside the house.
It was Qiu Zhen and Yu Lanyin.
Upon seeing Qiu Zhen, Yu Lanyin, and An Hua Yu being carried on the backs of the apothecary's martial instructors behind them, Tong Yuncong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His face was filled with astonishment:
"Junior brother, junior sister, who exactly killed them?"
"Helmsman Qiu killed them. Just now, these three Congenital demons were very fierce. Helmsman Qiu quickly dealt with them, beheading the three demons."
Kang Zhuangyuan's face was filled with excitement, speaking eloquently and incessantly.
"Junior Brother Qiu, you..."
Qiu Zhen smiled: "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister did indeed kill one."
Tong Yuncong and An Kang were stunned upon hearing this.
The implication was... these three Congenital True Core Realm demons were indeed killed by their junior brother and junior sister.
How was this possible!
Tong Yuncong and An Kang were astonished:
"Junior Brother Qiu, how did you kill these three demons?"
"I..."
Qiu Zhen was about to say something when suddenly, he sensed something, and without speaking, abruptly looked up.
Seeing this, the crowd was surprised and followed suit, turning their heads.
The next moment, everyone saw a martial instructor clad in golden armor standing suspended in the high sky above the Guangling apothecary, quietly gazing at the crowd in the courtyard.
"Wei Tanzhi."
The crowd's expressions changed slightly, somewhat surprised.
In the high sky, Wei Tanzhi's face was equally astonished, his gaze fixed on Qiu Zhen, his expression complex.
