Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 115 Attacking Their Weaknesses? Makes Sense! (This chapter is a battle of wits, so it was written a bit slowly.)

Yongzhou Pass, City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Duchuan stood tall and straight in front of the sand table.

rustling.

The accumulated golden sand moved without wind, quickly transforming into the shape of a continuous mountain range, so detailed that every mountain path was clearly visible.

With the combined efforts of over a hundred captains, after several days of infiltration, they had already figured out part of the terrain of the demon mountain by observing the aura and the mountains.

"Please, General Hong, make your move."

Yu Duchuan glanced to the side and said with a gentle smile, "Let me see the true power of the Demon Slayer Division."

"Mountain God of Crossing River, please look at the sand table."

Hong Wei strode confidently forward, stretching out his arms and spreading his rough fingers.

A wisp of bright red blood, enveloped in a spiritual light, gradually dripped onto the golden sand.

It didn't merge into it; instead, it formed a small red snake.

In an instant, the little snake seemed to come to life, slowly moving its body and crawling among the golden mountains.

All eyes in the room were on it.

On the left are ten Core Formation Realm experts from the Yu family, and on the right are nine lieutenant generals and their personal guards.

At this moment, the dark-faced captain with the lowest cultivation level was actually watching the most intently.

He not only stared at the blood snake as it swam, but also tried to memorize the entire terrain of the sand table.

Finally, the little snake coiled itself atop a high peak.

"What is this mountain called?" a lieutenant asked, looking up.

"..." Yu Duchuan remained silent for a moment, then glanced at him with displeasure.

Noticing the change in the mountain god's expression, the others immediately fell silent.

This place is the Yongzhou Pass of the Yu family.

Yu Duchuan is not only one of the city lords, but is also highly regarded by the immortal Qiheng, and there is a vague tendency for him to take over the border.

Such a person of such high status couldn't even pronounce the name of this mountain, let alone explain the distribution of the monsters around it.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

These mountain gods don't look like they're guarding the border at all.

They simply want to stay comfortably and enjoy themselves amidst these majestic mountains and rivers, not even bothering to put on a show.

"What the mountain is called is not important; what's inside is what matters."

Hong Wei casually picked up on the conversation, saying calmly, "Mountain God of Crossing River, we deliberately let that Broken Mountain Demon General go, intending to use it to lure out more demons and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Hearing the phrase "deliberately let go".

Ruan Xiangling glanced at the black armor on the body of a lieutenant general beside her.

The other person had a deep dent in their chest, their heart almost shattered by the palm print.

Even after taking the life-extending elixir, he is still pale and his breathing is disordered.

She quietly rolled her eyes.

Three lieutenants surrounded and killed a demon. They caught the demon off guard, but not only did they fail to capture it, one of them was almost killed as well.

That was really deliberate.

"According to my analysis, this demon is extremely cowardly. Not only did it not carry the flag, but it also did not have any record of attacking the immortals or the Demon Slayer Bureau."

"Clearly, he's a coward who's afraid of death."

"Now that it is seriously injured, it will surely seek the protection of the other demon generals."

Hong Wei stared at the small mountain formed by piles of golden sand and said slowly, "I, Hong, offer up the heads of these two great demons. That should be enough for the Crossing River Mountain God to give his clan an explanation."

"call."

Yu Duchuan let out a long breath, slightly dissatisfied.

His original plan was to use the power of the Demon Slayer Bureau to sweep across the mountains and leave behind a great reputation.

The so-called demon generals were so terrified that they fled at the mere mention of his name.

With this reputation, the title of Yu family's prodigy is fully established, shaking Yongzhou!

But he hesitated for a moment and did not refute it.

He desperately needs a victory to salvage his precarious position and shut up his peers.

And then there was that master and disciple who repeatedly provoked him.

Yu Duchuan heard that the two people had not yet left Yongzhou Pass.

If this matter is handled quickly, there might still be a chance to vent our anger.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and gave Hong Wei a wink.

"Brother Changfeng".

Hong Wei instantly understood what the other party meant. He turned to look at the Ruan siblings and said magnanimously, "The Duchuan Mountain God is concerned about the border and is very generous. He is unwilling to let a moment of anger affect important matters."

"If you all agree, the Mountain God will forgive your past grievances and allow you to continue participating in this matter, with the credit shared equally."

Although the merit of slaying the demon general is great, it can't compare to the benefits of befriending a prodigy from the Yu family.

Hong Wei didn't argue with him; instead, he offered advice in the manner of an elder.

"..."

Ruan Changfeng remained silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "I advise you to think about this more deeply, to really use your brain. Since this mountain can produce such a ferocious demon general as Devouring Moon, why does it show no intention of unifying the demons?"

"Does this make any sense?"

Demons cannot be seen in the light and cannot integrate into the mortal world.

Whether tormented by loneliness or for self-preservation, people naturally gather together.

If they are all peaceful people, that's fine.

Almost anyone with ambition and restlessness will recruit soldiers and generals to expand their power.

Despite his rampant arrogance and impressive strength, the Moon Devouring Demon General acted as if fighting alone, with no word of other demons coming to pledge allegiance.

"What exactly do you mean?" Hong Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What my brother means is, perhaps this area is already under the control of a demon, understand?"

Ruan Xiangling felt somewhat powerless and complained, "To put it bluntly, the Cloud Dragon Demon Lord who was severely injured back then is very likely still here. This demon mountain has always been its territory!"

"This is a mess involving the Golden Core Demon Lord, which is not something you few subordinates can handle. Get back home and let the state government know what kind of hell Yongzhou Pass is in now."

Her words had become somewhat impolite.

As Ruan Xiangling's voice fell, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned extremely cold.

A visible surge of rage appeared on Yu Duchuan's face, his pupils flashing with a fierce light, as if he had been greatly insulted: "You, a mere subordinate general, dare to question the methods and authority of my clan elders?!"

Qi Hengshu used the Mountain God Mirror to severely injure Yunlong, causing him to flee thousands of miles away and never dare to set foot back in Daliang again.

This is a great achievement of the Yu family that has spread throughout Yongzhou. How can we allow others to desecrate or offend it?

"Get out of here, all of you! If you ever dare to set foot on the border of my Yu family again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Yu Duchuan's voice was hoarse as he angrily swung his sleeve.

Under that terrifyingly dense magical power that was so intense it was suffocating, the four lieutenants, led by the Ruan siblings, felt as if their bodies were filled with lead, and were unable to break free.

"..."

The four men exchanged a glance, then, accompanied by their personal guards, silently walked away from the city lord's mansion.

"Once this matter is resolved, I will definitely send a message to the Demon Slaying Division and severely impeach these people!"

Yu Duchuan's anger had not subsided, and he coldly watched their departing figures.

The remaining five lieutenants, led by Hong Wei, all chuckled to themselves.

Given the Yu family's status in the Yongzhou court, their memorials carry immense weight, and their commander-in-chief will likely have a headache for a long time to come.

"All of you, be alert and follow General Hong's orders."

Yu Duchuan turned around, frowned, and gave the order.

Apart from him, the remaining city lords each sent a Core Formation disciple, making a total of seven people.

Since he had already lost Feng Yinglong last time, he didn't plan to send anyone else this time.

"Please rest assured, Master Uncle."

The group of Core Formation cultivators looked relaxed.

If they were facing that group of infamous demon generals, they might be somewhat wary.

Duan Yue... that old thing showed up at Yongzhou Pass decades ago.

It hides and lurks like a mouse, and we've never heard of it having any notable achievements.

Taking this scoundrel's head couldn't be easier.

As for the other demon general...

Not to mention that someone like Duan Yue could possibly know any powerful demons.

Five lieutenants, plus the seven of them, make a total of twelve Core Formation cultivators.

With such a force, any demonic mountain could be easily crushed.

Outside the city lord's mansion at this moment.

Ruan Xiangling mounted her armored spirit horse and sighed softly, "Tsk tsk, as expected of a descendant of an immortal family, such formidable strength can completely overwhelm those at the Core Formation stage."

"If he were willing to take action himself, sweeping away the demon mountain wouldn't be that difficult."

"Have you ever seen a descendant of immortals personally take action?"

Ruan Changfeng smiled and said while organizing the team, "As long as it's not a demon holding a knife to their throats, even if the front yard is on fire, they'll have to retreat to the backyard first."

"You two should shut up. Aren't you causing enough trouble for the General?" The remaining two lieutenants glanced at the brother and sister with annoyance.

"By the way, how's it going with the people I asked you to recruit?" Ruan Changfeng put away his smile and changed the subject.

"I saw a carriage parked in front of the inn, so they should be setting off soon."

Ruan Xiangling pulled on the reins and looked back at the more than one hundred captains and the thousands of new recruits and constables who had already lined up in formation.

She quickly found the dark-skinned face and nodded, saying, "Go and run to them, ask if they want to come along."

"Your humble servant obeys."

Chang Yi turned around without changing his expression and ran towards Shihu City.

He had memorized Duan Yue's location, as well as how many people the Yu family and the Demon Slayer Division planned to send.

Unfortunately, I was kicked out and didn't get to hear the group's instructions.

……

Outside Yongzhou Pass lies Qingming Mountain.

The demon soldiers followed the rugged mountain path, escorting tens of thousands of refugees and laborers as they retreated deeper into the mountains.

They carried enough food to last them a long time and needed to hide in the vast mountains for a while until the demon general Duan Yue recovered from his injuries and left.

The mountain road was difficult to travel, but no one raised any objections.

After all, in the place where these refugees once lived, there had never been a precedent of letting them evacuate first, while putting the monk in danger instead.

Inside the grotto at the bottom of Qingming Right Peak.

Old Xu lay in a pool of icy, bone-chilling spring water.

This spring can be used to brew wine or to temper magical artifacts, but now it has become his healing pool.

The spiritual spring rippled across his body, rapidly repairing his injuries, but the golden light buried deep within his bone marrow could not be dispelled.

This is a method unique to the Demon Slayer Division.

Perhaps only the Demon Lord's intervention can offer any hope of a complete cure.

"Will we still be able to drink that spirit wine in the future?"

Jin Xiong stared at the clear spring water with a hint of regret: "I should have given Old Xu a bath before throwing him in."

"..."

Old Xu lay in the pool, listening to the monkey beside him recount the events that had happened recently.

His expression was complex, and his emotions fluctuated accordingly.

That young man, whom they had only met a few times, dared to defy the world and rescue these little demons from the Demon Slayer Bureau.

The other person is still young, just a child.

Although he possessed a body tempering cultivation comparable to the Core Formation stage, what did that amount to in front of the colossal Yongzhou Pass?

I was right after all.

That was a wonderful person.

"What's his name?" Old Xu turned his head to look at the group of little demons.

Another unfamiliar face appeared, but it didn't seem out of place at all, because the essence of this group of people was the same.

"His name is Redface," the bald man said softly.

"Phew." Lu Yun clenched his fist, unusually not refuting, but nodding to the old man.

"You should head into the mountains too," Old Xu said with a forced smile, suppressing his inner worry.

Upon hearing this, the monkey and the others hesitated.

The demon flag is still waving; it would look rather unsightly if there were no demons under it.

"Go ahead, I'll guard the flag. Give me a little more time."

In a corner of the grotto, a girl in black sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, a blood-stained storage bag clutched in her hand.

Her aura was extremely chaotic, sometimes calm, sometimes violent.

"As expected of the former head of the Yu family."

Jin Xiong looked envious; the immortal sects didn't particularly value cultivation level when recruiting disciples.

Because as long as they have enough aptitude, the speed at which they can digest spiritual objects is something that ordinary disciples in the world wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"..."

Even Old Xu didn't say anything this time.

To be precise, he always stopped the monkeys and their group of ordinary little demons, and he never really cared about Xie Yutang.

They, the demon generals, are not qualified to instruct this child on how to walk the path of demonhood.

"I still need you few to protect those refugees for me."

The Azure Nether Demon General smiled gently, then led the demons out of the cave.

Golden Bear twisted his neck and stretched.

He had been fighting those immortal descendants for so many years, but had never actually fought against the Demon Slayer Division.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Just then, a warm golden light shone on him, causing the expression on the face of this man, who was as imposing as a small mountain, to gradually become strange.

It was evening, the sun was setting, and the evening glow was red.

Where did this blazing golden sunlight come from?

The next moment, the golden light sizzled on his body like boiling oil.

"roar!"

The golden bear suddenly roared, unleashing its demonic power, which stirred up the wind and clouds.

However, his expression was somewhat unpleasant.

He finally understood why Lao Xu had suffered such a huge loss in silence.

Under this scorching golden light, his strength was actually suppressed by more than 30%!

As the light grew stronger, the oppression intensified.

"snort!"

The Azure Demon General's face turned cold. Although she did not react as violently as the Golden Bear, her aura was also bound by the golden light.

As for the lesser demons like the monkeys, their skin was cracked, as if they had been soaked in a pot of boiling oil.

"Give me a knife!"

Without further hesitation, Jin Xiong, with a ferocious expression, reached out and suddenly took the ring-pommel sword.

He took a step forward and rushed towards the mountain gate.

The beautiful woman waved her cloak lightly, blocking Jin Hui for the many lesser demons who were in no time to retreat, her aura weakening even further.

She also sped forward.

Just then, everyone saw the Golden Bear Demon General stop, gripping his broadsword, and stand woodenly at the mountain gate.

His eyes widened as if he had witnessed something extremely terrifying.

The next moment, the little demons who rushed over also turned deathly pale.

"..."

More than a hundred captains dressed in black stood in neat rows outside Qingming Mountain.

The mountain wind whipped at their clothes, making the group look like a somber, dark cloud.

They held golden threads in their hands, the threads intertwined and connected.

Like a bolt of golden lightning piercing through black clouds, it enveloped the entire Qingming Mountain.

A hundred men formed a battle formation!

In front of this group of captains stood five figures quietly.

They were clad in black armor, the plates gleaming with a cold luster, adding to their imposing presence.

These lieutenants casually surveyed the demon mountain, their expressions calm and composed, clearly indicating that they had already taken control of the area.

Right behind them.

Several cultivators dressed in simple robes stood suspended in the air, their bodies radiating boundless spiritual power, their pure light dense, flowing towards the mountains like streaks of white silk.

Faced with such a magnificent display.

The three demon flags outside Qingming Mountain are naturally no longer effective in deterring others.

"laugh."

Hong Wei glanced at Jin Xiong and gave a mocking smile.

He didn't rush to make a move, but instead planned to use the Golden Silk Demon-Slaying Formation to further test the strength of these demon generals.

"..."

Faced with ridicule, Jin Xiong did not rush out to his death, but instead stood guard on either side of Qingming Demon General.

After all, they were outnumbered and couldn't afford to be surrounded.

He muttered to himself, "Why are there so many people? Could it be that Old Xu slept with the general's wife?"

The Azure Demon General glanced at the burly man but didn't seem too nervous.

She was a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and even though she was suppressed by the formation, she was still the one with the highest cultivation level in the area.

As long as Golden Bear doesn't lose his composure and keeps an eye on any openings.

Even if she can't win today, she's confident she can kill or wound most of them.

No matter how ruthless the Demon Slayers are, they are still working for others. Once they realize that the task is too difficult, they will naturally back down.

"Did you find it?" Just then, Hong Wei suddenly looked back.

"Let's wait and see."

One of the Yu family disciples slowly raised his head and saw that a pure aura suddenly rose from the mountains, pointing the way for everyone.

Hong Wei withdrew his gaze and smiled as he explained, "In our experience, the best way to slay demons has never been through direct combat."

"To kill a demon, first destroy its heart and disrupt its formation; this will make the task twice as effective with half the effort."

While leading his men to surround the mountain, this subordinate general actually began explaining his experience to the Yu family disciples.

"How do we determine where one's mind is?" the Core Formation cultivator asked curiously.

"It's easy. Usually, they are either demon soldiers, demon civilians, or their offspring and relatives. These beasts care about too many things, so they have too many flaws."

Hong Wei looked up in the direction of the clear energy: "Before we subdue the demon, we need to find out what she most wants to hide."

"Junior brother understands, this is called attacking their weakness!"

The Yu family disciple suddenly realized what was going on, and laughed loudly, saying, "General Hong wants to slaughter all those demon people, right? Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Amidst laughter, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

With his Core Formation cultivation, killing tens of thousands of mortals would be as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs, requiring very little magical power.

"Hey! You need to stay calm!"

Jin Xiong's heart skipped a beat. Despite such a scene, he was still able to remain calm.

But the beautiful woman beside him suddenly became agitated.

He quickly warned, "If we are separated, or if we launch a preemptive strike and get surrounded, we will surely die today!"

"..."

A rare look of panic appeared on the beautiful face of the Azure Nether Demon General.

She stared blankly at the disciple who had taken off, watching him head towards the direction of the clear mountain air.

Reason and emotion began to clash violently!

"Tsk tsk."

Noticing the conflicted look on the beautiful woman's face, Hong Wei outside the mountain gate let out a sinister smile.

He stood calmly in place, like a seasoned hunter who had prepared his bow and arrows and was quietly waiting for his prey to step into the trap.

The other subordinate generals also secretly performed hand seals.

In that instant when everyone's nerves were on edge.

"Give me your life!"

The beautiful woman couldn't help but take a step forward, instinctively trying to catch up with the streak of light.

But before she took to the air, a piercing explosion suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Boom!

A dark shadow streaked across the sky like lightning, as if tearing the heavens apart.

It roared as it swept past everyone's sight.

The Core Formation cultivator sensed the terrifying aura emanating from behind him, turned around in alarm, and tried to mobilize his spiritual power to block it.

However, before he could even cast a spell, the dark figure slammed heavily onto his back.

The powerful spiritual energy dissipated instantly.

The pristine robes shattered, and the Core Formation cultivator, like a falling bird, was swept away by the dark shadow and crashed into Mount Qingming.

The deafening, muffled sound shook even the mountain peaks.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Horrifying fissures covered Qingming Mountain like a spider web.

At this moment, the dark figure finally revealed its true form.

It was a heavy halberd that pinned this Yu family disciple firmly to the mountain peak!

"Crack! Crack!"

The disheveled figure twitched a few times, its throat filled with blood plasma, its bones already shattered and mixed with its internal organs, which were almost turned into mincemeat.

He didn't even have a chance to look back before his eyes lost their luster.

The halberd is a high-grade magic weapon, bearing the full spiritual power poured in by a Core Formation cultivator.

In addition, it seemed to have been thrown from the palm of a giant that could move mountains and seas, carrying a terrifying force that left people speechless!

"That's Xu Zhonglin's magical artifact, the Moon-Devouring Demon General!"

One of the lieutenants recognized the object. Terrified by the horrifying scene, he roared and turned back to look.

Right there on the opposite peak, amidst the jagged, strange rocks.

Some young people walked as if on flat ground.

He was clad in black armor, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the mountains and rivers.

The armor plates shimmered with a faint light, making his face appear even whiter and more handsome.

"Heh."

Gu Nanzhi stood blankly inside the mountain gate.

She once said that Lin Shu was really suited to wearing the Demon Slayer's outfit.

He was dashing and had an extraordinary air about him.

At this moment, the opponent, dressed in the same black armor, stood atop the mountain, making the five lieutenants below look like counterfeit monkeys wearing hats.

"Attack their weaknesses...that makes sense."

Lin Shu smiled slightly, silently pondering those words.

Black flames flowed from the gaps in the armor plates, cascading down from the mountaintop like a giant waterfall cascading from the sky, instantly engulfing the gate of Qingming Mountain.

Just moments ago it was dusk, but as the black flames rolled, the place quietly transformed into the dead of night.

He actually used his magic to simultaneously envelop everyone below, leaving no one behind.

"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace of their bodies; the one who kills a mere mortal is rewarded with 160 taels of silver."

Is he your weakness?

Under the wary gazes of the crowd, the young man looked up.

The newly acquired silver transformed into streams of light that flowed into the body of the Filthy Moon Wolf, replenishing its depleted magical power.

"It doesn't look like it."

Lin Shu shifted her gaze from the disciple in the mountains to Hong Wei at her feet.

He casually made a hand seal, and his pupils suddenly turned dark red like the moon.

Amidst the violently rolling black flames, his entire figure resembled a malevolent and awe-inspiring demonic cultivator.

The next moment, a blinding light suddenly flashed in the dark sky.

boom!!

In an instant, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, a purplish-black rift suddenly tore through the sky.

The originally dazzling golden light was instantly swallowed up by the surging thunderous liquid!

There was no begging for mercy, no wailing.

All sounds were drowned out by the thunder.

As the lightning slowly dissipated, the original hundred or so captains had vanished without a trace.

Is this your weakness?

Lin Shu still smiled as she quietly looked at Hong Wei, her youthful face appearing even more handsome.

The five lieutenants turned around stiffly, their eyes wide with fury as they stared at the empty spot.

They suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

"Then I should know."

Lin Shu nodded thoughtfully.

He slightly extended his palm, and slowly grasped a menacing, jet-black three-foot-long sword.

On the sword hilt, which resembles the head of a dragon, two lifelike blood-red eyes exude a chilling ferocity.

In an instant, he vanished from the spot.

"ah!!"

When the young man reappeared, Hong Wei was horrified and instinctively tried to retreat.

But immediately afterward, a vicious knee strike landed squarely on his abdomen, causing even his black iron armor to cave in deeply.

boom!

The old man was sent flying backwards, curled up like a boiled shrimp.

A clear voice, slightly chilly, rang in my ears.

"This is probably what you care about most."

The black light was deathly still, fleeting in an instant.

The black dragon sword easily tore through the black armor, and then pierced through Hong Wei's heart with a soft thud.

The blood streaks formed from the condensed malevolent energy resembled hundreds of evil dragons, rapidly covering the person's flesh and internal organs.

Crimson waves of blood splattered.

The stains stained Lin Shu's black armor and landed on his fair cheeks.

He stared at the old man in front of him, watching the man's face twitch with extreme panic and fear, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, and his lips trembling wildly.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Lin Shu drew her longsword and casually wiped away the hot bloodstains on her face.

He turned to look at the remaining people.

At this moment, the crimson moon in the sky was already full, like a colossal object that blotted out the sun, sprinkling blood rain down on the mountains and rivers.

Amidst the howling wind.

The fluttering Moon-Devouring Demon Banner danced wildly, coming into everyone's view.

Kindness is often taken advantage of.

Then let blood stain the banners, and slaughter until you dare not look up again.
