The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 20 Siege and Killing
The Great Master of Five Spirits cultivated a jade body and extended his life by twenty years.

This is not a disguised form of prolonging life by living without illness or disaster until the end of one's life.

Instead, it adds another twenty years to the end of your life, effectively extending your life.

This is a great temptation for any practitioner.

However, Zhou Yun was not aware of Li Yan's talent. If Li Yan had not specialized in cultivating one soul, he would have been a high-level wizard who had lit up five souls.

Therefore, naturally, he didn't care about what Zhou Yun said.

"Captain Zhou Yun, you'd better not have any ideas about my son. He is the only one left in our Li family. If he joins the Demon-Subduing Division, what if something goes wrong?"

When Mr. Li heard Zhou Yun's invitation, he quickly refused with a vigilant look.

He is almost forty years old now, and he hopes that Li Yan will inherit the Li family business in the future.

Of course I don’t want Li Yan to take risks.

"That's it."

Zhou Yun sighed and said no more.

Not long after, another team from the Demon-Subduing Bureau in the city arrived.

"Zhou Yun, what's the situation? Is the big monster still hiding nearby?"

The burly, middle-aged man in black who was leading the group asked in a deep voice.

"It should be there. I just used the magic mirror to determine the location. Then I was afraid of being discovered by the big monster, so I didn't dare to continue observing."

The middle-aged man nodded and praised Zhou Yun: "You did the right thing. The perception of the big monster is very sharp. If you observe it for too long, it will be easily awakened."

"Liang Jing's team was discovered by the monster because they observed the monster's movements for too long."

The middle-aged man is Zhong Dinghai, the captain of the third team sent by the Demon Exorcist Bureau. He is a high-level wizard with four spirits and the strongest among the three team captains sent by the Demon Exorcist Bureau.

They stayed at Li's house and waited for Liang Jing's team.

To be on the safe side, they must be fully prepared.

The three teams joined together, and no matter how powerful the monster was, it would be hard to escape this disaster.

Li's father specially arranged a small courtyard for them and asked them to wait at Li's house.

At the same time, the Li family was ordered not to go out for the time being.

Upon hearing Father Li's order, all the clan members immediately realized that things were not simple.

They had just experienced the rebellion of the weasel monster and realized that another monster might have appeared nearby, so they didn't dare to go out.

Everyone carried the talismans drawn by Li Yan with them, hoping that the talismans could keep them safe.

There were also a few people who came to Li Yan's door specifically to ask for talismans.

Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the requests of these uncles.

He said frankly that he couldn't draw talismans, but these people didn't believe him at all.

In the end, I had no choice but to draw a few pictures at random to give them psychological comfort.

Almost all the people from the Demon-Subduing Bureau are now in the Li Mansion. The Li Mansion can almost be said to be the safest place now.

As long as you don't go out, there is no danger at all.

The three teams of the Demon-Subduing Bureau quickly gathered together, and then each arranged their own team, taking the area where the big demon might be hiding as the center, and surrounded the center in a triangular shape.

Song Xing arranged officers and soldiers to gradually evacuate nearby residents.

Li Yan told the maid that he was going to go into seclusion and asked her not to disturb him.

The little maid naturally responded to this. Li Yan often went into seclusion, and she had long been accustomed to it.

However, when Li Yan returned to his room, he did not really practice in seclusion.

He changed into a black robe, covering his entire body.

A mask was also tied on the face to hide the appearance.

With such a disguise, even if Li's father appeared in front of Li Yan, he would definitely not be able to tell Li Yan's identity.

Now the Demon Subduing Division can surround and kill the big demon with absolutely no chance of failure.

Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to witness the power of the great monster.

Before this, Li Yan had only encountered a little demon with a cultivation of one or two hundred years.

Now that his strength has greatly improved, he also wants to know what level his current strength has reached.

"Among the six spells I obtained, the Golden Needle Spell has reached its peak. I can activate it by just pinching my fingers. Moreover, I can now manipulate fifty golden needles. Both the speed and power have reached a new level."

"The other five spells have also made great progress."

"I wonder how this strength compares to the great demons."

Li Yan was already getting impatient.

He pinched his fingers and chanted a spell.

Then his feet suddenly became light and he jumped lightly and stepped onto the wall of Li's mansion.

Just at this moment, a powerful demonic aura erupted not far away.

"It looks like I came out just in time."

Li Yan smiled slightly under his mask.

Then he jumped off the wall, took quick steps, and ran towards the direction where the demonic energy burst out at an incredibly fast speed.

……

"How is it possible? How could these people from the Demon-Subduing Division find out so quickly?"

The wolf demon was trapped in a small courtyard, looking shocked.

The original owner of this place was alone and didn't often interact with others.

As a result, he was targeted by the wolf demon, who put on the skin of his former owner, intending to hide here forever.

But I didn't expect that the location would be locked so quickly.

Now the breath of practitioners can be heard from three sides, and it is obvious that it has been surrounded.

This was clearly a well-prepared attack. The wolf demon knew very well that if it could not break the encirclement, it would probably die here.

It did not dare to hesitate at all and directly transformed into its original form.

A huge wolf demon, more than two people tall, appeared in the courtyard.

The wolf demon had black hair and a deep scratch on its back which had not healed yet.

It has ferocious eyes and a long mouth full of densely packed fangs.

"Ow—"

The wolf demon let out a long howl, which contained a very terrifying demonic aura.

Practitioners can still use their life energy to resist, but if a mortal within thirty feet is injured by this roar, his liver and gallbladder will be torn into pieces, and the evil spirit will enter his body and he will die.

"You dare!"

Zhong Dinghai showed an angry look on his face. He asked his men to mobilize their life energy to block the wolf's howl and protect the mortals. He himself suddenly quickened his pace and his figure seemed to turn into a black lightning as he rushed towards the wolf demon.

In just a moment, he leaped up, stepped into the courtyard wall, and approached the wolf monster.

He reached into the storage bag with his right hand, took out a long knife, gripped the hilt tightly, and attacked fiercely, slashing towards the wolf demon.

A light red sword energy left the body and rushed straight towards the wolf monster.

Seeing Zhong Dinghai rushing forward first, the wolf demon was not afraid at all. Instead, a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If surrounded by many people, it would be difficult for it to escape.

But Zhong Dinghai was enraged by the wolf demon and rushed out first, giving it an opportunity.

As long as it can seriously injure Zhong Dinghai, it can escape from this direction.

"call--"

Facing the sword energy coming towards it from Zhong Dinghai, the wolf demon simply exhaled a breath of gray air.

The gray air was like a sharp sword, colliding with Zhong Dinghai's sword energy.

then.

The sword energy was like a mirror, cracks appeared on it, and it shattered directly and was dispersed by the gray energy.

Zhong Dinghai's expression changed slightly.

He put away the long sword and immediately made a hand gesture. A three-foot-long fire snake instantly emerged from his fingertips.

"go with!"

The fire snake twisted its red body in the air and flew away, and swallowed the black air directly when it encountered it.

The wolf demon had a strange smile on his face.

Zhong Dinghai felt something was wrong and just as he was about to dodge, it was too late.

As soon as the fire snake swallowed the gray gas, it instantly turned gray and then completely dissipated.

The gray energy continued to be powerful and hit Zhong Dinghai directly in the chest.

"puff!"

Zhong Dinghai was knocked off the courtyard wall and fell heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with horror.

Although he also used the Golden Clothing Technique to defend himself, he reduced some of the damage from the gray gas.

But he was still seriously injured.

This gray gas is definitely extraordinary and cannot be produced by an ordinary monster.

I'm afraid it's already comparable to the level of a great demon that has existed for many years.

Only the Five Spirits Master can resist this kind of attack.

The wolf demon leaped towards Zhong Dinghai and directly broke through the earth wall. The earth wall fell to the ground and dust flew everywhere.

It brushed past Zhong Dinghai directly, a mocking smile appeared on the wolf's face, and its body turned into a black gas, ignoring the attacks of the four two-spirit practitioners and directly escaped.

That gray gas was formed by using secret witchcraft to refine a large amount of evil energy.

It has been practicing for hundreds of years, but has only developed this gray energy.

The power is extraordinary.

Now, in order to save his life, he had no choice but to use it.

However, after the first attack, it did not have much strength left, so it naturally would not continue to pester Zhong Dinghai.

"When I escape this disaster and recover from my injuries, I will definitely make you suffer."

The wolf demon thought viciously in his heart.

Zhong Dinghai wanted to chase after him, but the severe pain in his lungs made him unable to move, and it was very difficult for him to even cast spells to stop him.

The wolf demon flew away quickly.

Liang Jing and Zhou Yun's team had already arrived at Zhong Dinghai. They had no time to care about Zhong Dinghai, so they left one person to take care of him, and the others chased after the wolf monster.

Most of the mortals nearby had been evacuated by officers and soldiers, and the wolf demon didn't encounter anyone along the way.

"Huh? Why is there someone on the road ahead?"

The wolf demon was flying away, but saw a mysterious man in black standing in the middle of the road, blocking its way.

Behind them, Liang Jing and Zhou Yun, along with a group of members of the Demon-Subduing Division, were chasing closely.

At the critical moment, the wolf demon had no time to think about why other mortals on the road avoided it, but the man in black robe did not.

It continued to fly towards the man in black robe, ready to eat him.

Li Yan looked at the wolf demon flying towards him with a calm expression.

Why not avoid it?

Because there is no fear.

There seemed to be a flash of gold in his eyes, and his hands under the black robe quickly made finger gestures and attacked decisively.
