He started by brutally defeating the demon lady, and the passersby were terrified!

On the other side...

Eastern suburbs of Chunshi.

Inside an abandoned factory.

"call out--"

Under the reddish moonlight, a gray shadow flashed by. She turned her head to look behind her and deliberately slowed down.

It turned out that she was being followed by two pursuers.

"Deputy Captain Xiao, is this the kid you were talking about? A mere first-level Spirit Spring cultivator daring to chase a level three vengeful ghost with a completely defenseless cripple, doesn't he realize he's just a deliveryman?!"

A young man, as thin as a bamboo pole, watched two figures run past below.

A hint of sarcasm immediately appeared on his lips.

"Brother Xiao, it's not that we didn't want to help him, it's just that this apprentice demon slayer, rated as a divine weapon, delivered himself to the door as food for the vengeful ghost. We died before we could even lend a hand, right?"

The one carrying a sword on his back, with his hair tied up in a rock-and-roll style and thinking he looked cool, was Lee Kin-in, the captain of the Swordfire Squad. He had a smile on his face.

The Swordfire Squad has been tracking this cat demon for a long time.

Today we finally located their hideout.

The reason they didn't take action was...

It was discovered that in the basement of that dilapidated old building, there were at least ten evil spirits, three to five level-three vengeful spirits, and possibly even more.

Under normal circumstances, a level three vengeful ghost corresponds to the third level of the Spirit Spring.

In addition to Captain Li Jianren, who is at the sixth level of the Spirit Spring Realm, and Vice Captain Xiao Lie, who is at the fifth level of the Spirit Spring Realm, the Sword and Fire Squad also has member 1, Nalan Meimei, an agility-based martial artist at the fourth level of the Spirit Spring Realm.

Team member 2, Zhou Xiong, a big fat man weighing over 200 pounds, whose sword and shield skills are comparable to a land tank, and he possesses the triple power of the Spirit Spring.

Team member 3, Ma Tiao, mainly trains in leg techniques and body movements, possesses the ability to jump like a grasshopper, and is at the third level of the Spirit Spring.

It seems that their Wind and Fire Squad can crush the opponent. However, although the Level 3 Fierce Ghost and the Level 3 Spirit Spring are at the same level, their combat power is worlds apart.

Normally, demons are generally twice as strong as human cultivators.

For example, a level three vengeful ghost can at least fight against two cultivators at the third level of the Spirit Spring Realm. Generally, it takes three human cultivators to surround and defeat a level three vengeful ghost to have an absolute chance of victory.

The same applies to level five vengeful ghosts; it would take at least two cultivators at the fifth level of the Spirit Spring Realm to fight them.

Therefore, their C-level squad couldn't handle this group of demons alone, so they had to request reinforcements from another C-level squad.

They were waiting for someone when, unexpectedly, two hotheads at the first level of the Spirit Spring realm actually sought their own deaths.

"To die at the hands of a demon is too good for him!"

Xiao Lie's gaze was icy.

But this is also the best way to die; otherwise, if a divine weapon dies, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble when the investigation starts.

This is outside an abandoned old building.

"Brother Meng! Stop! Stop!!"

After a period of tracking, they arrived at an abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs.

The surrounding area was filled with tall chimneys, rusty iron pipes, brick and tile houses, and wild grass taller than a person, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Of course, the most oppressive thing was the dilapidated old building that Meng Yan was about to enter.

"What's wrong, Fatty?"

Meng Yan frowned upon seeing the fat man's expression.

"Brother Meng! Something's wrong! Don't you think something's really wrong?!"

Li Zhichun said excitedly.

His heart was pounding wildly.

There was even a sense of impending death.

This building must be very dangerous.

"Something's definitely not right here. The air here smells like money."

Meng Yan took a deep breath.

In his mind's eye, his Demon-Suppressing Tower was emitting a strong light!

The building is filled with a strong demonic aura; there are probably more than just cat demons inside.

He likes these unexpected gains.

I wonder how much money I can make from this one cut!

"No joke, Brother Meng! I think we should report to headquarters immediately and request backup! Because we actually caught up with the cat demon in speed, don't you think that's incredible! It might be a trap! They've probably set a snare for us!"

Li Zhichun really felt that something was very wrong along the way.

After advancing to the Spirit Spring Realm, apart from agility-based attackers, the average speed of normal cultivators and martial artists is equivalent to the limit of human sprinting, which is about 10 meters per second, the sprinting speed of a bicycle, or the speed of a car at 36 km/h.

Even so.

They're tracking a cat demon!

At that speed, it would normally be impossible to keep up.

But they tracked them all the way here and miraculously caught up with them.

It looks like they were deliberately lured in and set a trap for them!

"Actually, it could also be called inviting a wolf into the house."

Meng Yan's lips curled up.

It's still hard to say who the delivery person is.

"???"

Li Zhichun's mind went blank for a moment.

Did Brother Meng anticipate this all along?

"Fatty, are you ready to announce the lottery results?"

Meng Yan's gaze fell on the dark, dilapidated door in front of him, and his blood was boiling.

"Damn it! Ready? Let's go!!"

Li Zhichun smiled.

He quickly stepped forward and kicked the dark, dilapidated door away.

Following Brother Meng, you can always feel that exhilarating feeling.

Anyway, my life was given to me by Brother Meng.

This guy's such a coward!

The second basement level.

A dozen or so men and women were standing in a small, circular square in the Syrian style.

As an extremely ugly old woman with a cat-like face walked over, everyone made way for her.

She had a full head of white hair, a hunched back, and was leaning on a cane. In her hand, she was holding a child's head and internal organs, including the heart, liver, and lungs. As she walked, the white intestines were still falling to the ground.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have guessed that this old lady is now a cat demon wanted by the Bureau of Divine Intervention.

"The twenty-first."

It was a hexagonal, three-tiered altar, which she stepped onto step by step.

Then the child's head, along with his liver, was placed in the pool of water in the center of the altar.

Seeing the tiny head floating in the specially prepared red blood water, like a lotus flower, the cat demon revealed a satisfied smile.

And in the water.

There are twenty-one tiny heads connected to all the internal organs, forming a circle.

A bronze cauldron stood in the middle of the blood.

Smoke was rising from the surface.

The whole thing looks like it's part of some kind of mysterious ritual.

"Only the blood of two human cultivators at the Spirit Spring Realm is needed to complete the task. The time is almost up, and the prey should be ready to make its move soon. Today, let us all respectfully welcome this sacred ceremony—"

The brass cauldron is surrounded by two black blood grooves.

There were also patterns resembling snake scales in the blood groove.

He was a middle-aged man dressed in black.

He raised his hand high, his voice booming, his entire face contorted with madness.

The rest of the people in the room also raised their hands high, their faces filled with reverence, as if they were welcoming something!

"boom--"

Suddenly, at that very moment, the basement door was kicked open without warning.

"The prey is being far too cautious, but I happened to have ordered two takeout meals, and here they are!"

The cat-faced old woman turned around.

"Hehehe—"

Their gazes fell on Meng Yan and Li Zhichun as they entered, their laughter sending chills down your spine.
