Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

"Snake spear?" The fox spirit sensed something was wrong. She was about to get up when a lewd grin from Si Mu pressed her back down.

"Little beauty, I haven't had my fun yet, where do you think you're going to run off to?"

The fox spirit was pressed down.

Chen Hengyi, with a solemn expression, quickly chanted in a series of powerful steps: "Radiant light manifests, the mighty spirit of the Fire Department shines forth, with a single point of the spearhead, all evil is swept away!"

This is a blessing mantra recorded in the "Playing with Fire Sutra," which is considered one of the most basic types.

As Chen Hengyi chanted the incantation, the spearhead suddenly lit up with a crimson light.

"Beware of this spear, you monster!"

Si Mu quickly stood up, left the spot in an instant, and pressed a yellow talisman onto the fox spirit's chest.

The fox spirit was stunned by the Maoshan talisman and could not move.

Chen Hengyi suddenly thrust forward.

The fox spirit saw the spearhead, gleaming with a dangerous, cold light, coming towards her, and immediately let out a shrill scream, but it was all too late.

Chen Hengyi breathed deeply, unleashing a surge of immense power, and simultaneously thrust out a spear in rhythm with his exhalation.

With a soft thud, the spearhead pierced the fox spirit's abdomen, pinning her to the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the beautiful woman's skin tore open like red paper, and large patches of fox fur emerged from beneath it.

The Four-Eyed Taoist laughed heartily: "So you really are a vixen! Did you really think no one could smell your stench?"

The fox spirit struggled frantically under the spear.

Chen Hengyi's arm trembled repeatedly, and he felt a soreness and swelling in the web of his hand.

But no matter what, his eighteen-foot spear remained as steady as Mount Tai, pressing it to the ground, preventing it from leaving.

Seeing this, Si Mu casually tossed over a yellow talisman imbued with magical power.

The yellow talisman landed on the fox spirit, and it immediately started making crackling sounds, like firecrackers exploding.

In no time, all was quiet. Beneath the eighteen-foot spear lay the carcass of a red fox, about the size of a calf.

Chen Hengyi picked it up, examined it, and asked, "I've heard that writing brushes are made of wolf hair, pig hair, and sheep hair. I wonder if this fox hair brush would be suitable?"

Four Eyes laughed and said, "Of course. No matter what, this is a fox that has become a spirit. Look at the fur on its tail, it's much better than any wolf hair or sheep hair."

He explained to Chen Hengyi, "If this fox spirit grows to this size and doesn't harm people, it can be considered an auspicious creature, a treasure from head to toe."

Unfortunately, this one harmed someone; its spiritual energy was tainted by the blood demon, so it's not as valuable anymore.

With a soft thud, Chen Hengyi pulled the eighteen-foot spear from the fox spirit's body.

He's not short of money, but he won't let go of something of value like this.

He took out a knife and began to dissect the fox spirit's corpse.

At this moment, Chen Lingxiu, who had been hiding behind the walking corpse, also peeked out and exclaimed in shock when she saw the gruesome sight of the fox spirit being dissected.

Then she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Chen Hengyi and Simu, crying and pleading, "Thank you so much, my benefactors! You two have avenged my great grudge. How can I ever repay your kindness? If you two are willing to go to Fujian, I will surely offer you a thousand taels of gold."

Chen Hengyi had no particular thoughts on this; he could easily produce a thousand catties of gold at any time.

Si Mu shook his head and said, "Miss, we're not going to Fujian."

He's not short of money at all; in the story, Si Mu is able to produce a small box of gold.

Four Eyes explained that they were almost home and wouldn't be going anywhere else, and then asked where the fox spirit's lair was.

Chen Lingxiu looked around, then pointed in a direction and said, "I ran here from that direction, from day to night. There seem to be other monsters inside."

Chen Hengyi looked up curiously: "There are other demons? Are they fox spirits or something?"

Chen Lingxiu shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it doesn't seem like a fox. Because I saw that fox spirit respectfully bowing to something, and my whole family was captured and was to be offered as tribute."

The four eyes widened in surprise, and one of them, with a quick glance, said, "So that's why this vixen dared to kidnap passersby; she's found a powerful backer."

The area was previously ransacked by the Longhu Mountain faction; even the fox bones were broken. But if they've found a powerful backer, things could change.

Chen Hengyi and Simu discussed it and concluded that someone who could be used as a backer by this fox spirit must be someone extraordinary.

Meanwhile, we're not far from Simu's house, so why not go back and rest first, pay respects to our ancestral master, and then go to subdue the demon!

As for Chen Lingxiu, no one knew where she had gone. Her family had gone out earlier to find a good place to stay, because things were getting more and more chaotic in various places.

Chen Hengyi wanted to send the woman to Renjia Town, but then he thought about how far the journey was and how he and Simu had encountered several groups of bandits along the way.

Having made up their minds, they continued on their journey.

With four eyes in front and the walking corpses behind, Chen Hengyi carried the eighteen-foot spear and the opera box at the rear.

At the same time, he also took out the black book and looked at it.

Below the message: "Save Chizuru, kill the zombies."

A line of small print suddenly appeared.

[A demon lurks in the place where wild foxes perform lewd rituals; it must be eliminated!]

There was no reward after killing that fox spirit.

But a task has arisen!

"This must be a side quest?"

Chen Hengyi was surprised that the black book was quite intelligent and could automatically generate tasks!

"What a pity. I thought I could get a reward just by killing a fox spirit. It seems it's not that easy."

The three of them and the group of zombies traveled at a fast pace. Chen Hengyi and Si Mu were both physically stronger than ordinary people, and the zombies were tireless.

Chen Lingxiu didn't even need to walk; she was carried on the client's back.

At first she was scared, but later she really liked it. Although it was a bit bumpy, at least she didn't have to walk herself.

As dawn broke, they left Wild Fox Gully and came to a mountain with a wide view, where Chen Hengyi could still hear the sound of flowing water.

There was a small path overgrown with weeds on the mountain. Si Mu turned around and smiled, "We're almost there. I'll introduce Jia Le to you later!"

Chen Hengyi nodded. He was also familiar with Jiale because Si Mu had been nagging him about it for the past two weeks.

Moreover, he's seen movies!

In Uncle Zombie, Jia Le is Four Eyes' apprentice.

Next to Simu's house lived an old monk named Ikkyu, who had a female disciple named Qingqing.

The Daoist Qianhe, whom Chen Hengyi is trying to save, is Si Mu's junior brother.

One day, Master Qianhe will be leading a group of people to escort a zombie from a frontier royal family through this area. He will ask Simu for some glutinous rice.

But at night, a sudden downpour will occur, and lightning will strike the zombies.

Then the royal zombie was born, and Chizuru, her disciples, and the imperial guards who accompanied her were all bitten to death by the zombie.

Of course, in the end, the zombie will be killed by Four Eyes and Ikkyu working together.

However, now that Chen Hengyi is here, he certainly won't let the plot develop that way!

Are you kidding me? If he comes and the zombies run rampant, then he's come for nothing.

Also, the fox spirit they just killed, if Chen Hengyi isn't mistaken, doesn't seem to be the one that appeared in the story.

Because it's not that flashy.

In other words, there are also fox spirits!

Chen Hengyi went through the plot in his mind to make sure he hadn't missed anything.

Then they came to a stilted wooden house located on the mountainside.

"arrive!"
