I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This time, it was two sword energies, two overlapping waves.

After the white carp shattered, it quickly unleashed a water dragon, which perfectly countered the triple wave created by Qu Jing. Soon after, the fourth wave arrived.

This time, after the white carp shattered, it was immediately met with the fifth wave. The white carp shattered the first four waves, but was repelled by the fifth wave.

If he hadn't been skilled in water control, he would have been seriously injured. Before he could even change his move, the sixth wave was about to hit.

Bai Li finally felt the pressure, while Qu Jing's offensive became faster and faster.

The seventh wave sent the white carp flying into the air. The eighth wave sent the white carp spitting out a mouthful of blood, its bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart.

Bai Li was horrified. He never expected Qu Jing to have such abilities. Each wave was stronger than the last, and the ninth wave was just around the corner. He was afraid he would die from this attack.

Feeling guilty, Bai Li thought of escaping. He transformed into a fish and was about to dive into the water, but unexpectedly, the river water suddenly turned into solid ice. He crashed into it and was in pain, but he was trapped on the surface. Soon after, Qu Jing created the ninth wave.

"My life is over!"

Bai Li felt like he was already a dead fish, but then, the world in front of him suddenly shattered, and he returned to reality. He still felt pain all over his body, just like the feeling of being washed by eight waves.

But he survived.

Qu Jing's spirit had returned to her body. She was pale, had a splitting headache, and felt extremely sorry for her.

They were so close, so very close, to killing this great demon with whom they had a blood feud.

That move just now was a mental sword technique she suddenly comprehended, which used the power of her primordial spirit to forcibly pull the opponent into a battle at the mental level.

She was at the peak of her resolve in swordsmanship, while Bai Li was not. Therefore, in the contest of their minds, Bai Li was at a disadvantage.

Unfortunately, her primordial spirit was too weak. Even though she tried her best to persevere, she couldn't hold on when she unleashed the ninth sword strike. Her mental illusion shattered, and her primordial spirit was also damaged. She is currently suffering from the backlash and will probably never have the chance to reach the third rank again.

However, if they fail to kill the white carp now, they won't even survive, let alone reach a higher realm.

I really underestimated you!

Bai Li felt a wave of fear wash over him; he had been so close to dying on the spot.

He was both terrified and furious. He had almost been killed by a half-step third-rank cultivator. It was so embarrassing to even talk about it!

"I will kill you in the most cruel way possible. I promise I will make you wish you were dead!"

Bai Li made some harsh words, but Qu Jing just gritted her teeth, enduring the pain of her primordial spirit cracking, and desperately trying to maintain the stability of her mind.

The appearance of cracks in her primordial spirit is just the beginning. If she doesn't stabilize it and it truly shatters, then it's practically the same as being dead.

A half-step second-rank cultivator attempting to kill a great demon of the second rank will inevitably pay a price; even if they ultimately fail, the cost will still be severe.

She could have chosen to give up instead of persisting in this pointless way, since the white carp was about to come and kill her.

However, the moment she regained her passion for swordsmanship, she was certain that she would never give up until the very moment she died.

Bai Li took out Bai Lin, the least lethal but sharpest magical weapon he possessed. He wanted to make Qu Jing wish she were dead so that he could avenge his humiliation.

But suddenly a cold voice rang out from behind.

"You just said you wanted someone to wish they were dead, but couldn't live?"

Chapter 209 Under Control

As soon as the sound came from behind, Bai Li reacted, kicking out with the familiar Dragon Tail Sweep, but Lin Yi neither dodged nor avoided, and grabbed his leg in one go.

Where there is great power, miracles will happen.

Bai Li had fought countless battles over the years, but he had never seen such a fierce person. When he turned around, he realized it was Lin Yi.

At that moment, Lin Yi was wearing a human skin mask.

He heard a noise and quickly put on his mask as he ran. By the time he arrived, he was still a little late.

Qu Jing was injured, while Bai Li was making threats.

Seeing Qu Jing's pale face, Lin Yi knew how much pain she was in, and his anger flared up immediately.

As the white carp flicked its tail, Lin Yi grabbed its leg and then swung it around, smashing it against the ground repeatedly.

Bai Li recognized Lin Yi and was just thinking about the double happiness of catching two enemies today when, in the next second, he was beaten up by Lin Yi.

Those blows left him completely disoriented, his head buzzing.

Previously, I was injured by Qu Jing's Heart Sword Technique, and I already felt pain all over my body. But that was just a mental injury, which made me mistakenly think that my body was injured, and that's why I felt pain. Now that I'm better, the injury has really come.

When mind and body are in sync, that's it.

Lin Yi originally wanted to beat Bai Li up, but his anger was replaced by worry. He kicked Bai Li away and ran to Qu Jing's side. Seeing that her face was pale, he quickly cast two golden talismans.

A calming touch, a healing touch to her wounds.

After the two golden talismans were applied, Qu Jing's complexion indeed improved significantly.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Yi's concerned gaze, and she immediately felt much more at ease.

However, she wanted to help Lin Yi, but in the end, Lin Yi saved her instead.

Her master was ultimately a bit weak.

How are you?

Qu Jing: "..."

He didn't call me "Master," does that mean he's planning to continue pretending?

That's alright, so Qu Jing went along with Lin Yi and said, "It's nothing serious."

In other words, if one's primordial spirit is damaged, it doesn't mean they will never be able to break through in the future, but the difficulty will simply increase many times over.

Lin Yi could tell from her appearance that she was seriously injured. He remembered that Guan Buping had only been able to move his head and had said that he had only suffered minor injuries.

Goodness, does your sect have such a fine tradition?

"Don't move, let me examine your body properly."

Lin Yi grasped Qu Jing's wrist and found that her pulse was relatively stable, indicating that she had suffered a minor internal injury, but it was not serious.

However, there were several scars on his arms, which looked quite gruesome. Even though the wounds healed under Lin Yi's talisman magic, Lin Yi was still quite distressed.

"How dare he hurt you like this! I'll kill him and make him into soup!"

Lin Yi briefly examined Qu Jing's body and found that she had only external injuries that wouldn't kill her, which put him at ease. However, his hatred for Dongting Jun instantly surged.

Bai Li now realized he had hit a brick wall. Lin Yi, whom he could once easily manipulate, was now able to rub him into the ground.

Who would believe that? It hasn't been more than ten days since he beat Lin Yi to a pulp.

If one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation, does that mean one should look at them with new eyes after ten days?

Regardless of how Lin Yi became so powerful, Bai Li only knew that he was in danger. While Lin Yi and Qu Jing were talking, he dragged his injured body and launched himself into the air, taking off from the spot.

After briefly checking on Qu Jing's injuries, Lin Yi stepped into the air and immediately spotted the fleeing white carp.

Generally speaking, a fourth-grade cultivator can fly for short periods, while a third-grade cultivator can fly for long periods. However, Lin Yi is different from them because his basic knowledge is not solid. He can only jump very high and very far, but he cannot fly yet.

However, with a push of his foot, he darted off in the direction where Dongting Jun had fled. Having been memorized by him, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Upon seeing Dongting Jun from afar, Lin Yi used the move "Cold Light Reflecting Shadow" to propel himself with sword energy, instantly appearing behind Dongting Jun, grabbing him, and tossing him back in front of Qu Jing.

"So, tell me, do you want it braised, steamed, or made into soup today?"

Seeing Lin Yi descend from the sky, Bai Li was truly impressed.

This person looks like a human, but is stronger than this monster.

He felt like a toy, being ruthlessly manipulated by Lin Yi, with no power to resist.

His prized scales, which he was so proud of, were completely useless against Lin Yi.

Clearly, Lin Yi's strength has now far surpassed his.

A wise man knows when to yield. As a fish, Bai Li was naturally able to bend and stretch. He sat up from the ground and said, "I admit defeat this time. If you have any demands, just state them. But I am the nephew of King Jinlin. If you want to kill me, you'd better think twice."

Who is the Golden Scale King?

Lin Yi had no idea who this name was; he figured it must be a demon king, but…

Will he be afraid?

"You don't even know the Nine Demon Kings?"

Bai Li looked at Lin Yi as if he were a fool.

Although not every cultivator knows the identities of the Nine Demon Kings, someone at Lin Yi's level, who is the closest to the Nine Demon Kings in terms of cultivation, shouldn't be so ignorant!

"Are they that good? Do I really need to know?"

Lin Yi's statement was purely stubborn.

He knew how powerful the Demon King was. Before, a Poison Lady who wasn't even among the Nine Demon Kings had chased him all over the place. Later, he encountered three more, and he couldn't defeat any of them.

But that doesn't stop him from showing off.

Bai Li was speechless. He had run into a fool; it was probably pointless to negotiate.

"I have a fortune of hundreds of millions. If you spare my life, I can give you all of it."

"What a coincidence, I'm not interested in money. If you dare to hurt my woman, you'll have no choice but to turn her into soup to nourish her body."

Qu Jing blushed immediately upon hearing Lin Yi's words.

This rebellious disciple really dares to speak his mind!

When did she become his woman?

Even if they had one night together, it doesn't mean they will maintain that kind of relationship in the future.

Does wearing a mask mean you can disrespect your master?

Bai Li, however, sensed a glimmer of hope in those words. He quickly said, "Your wife's injury is not in her body, but in her primordial spirit. Killing me and making soup won't help her. Why don't you release me, and I'll teach you how to help her repair her primordial spirit?"

"Your primordial spirit is damaged?"

Lin Yi then looked at Qu Jing. Qu Jing was a little uncomfortable with Lin Yi treating her like a wife, so she turned her head away shyly and said, "It's a minor injury, nothing serious."

"How could it be a minor injury!"

Upon hearing Qu Jing's words, Bai Li immediately became anxious and said, "You were injured because of me, how could I not understand? You were definitely seriously injured!"

"So you're quite proud of yourself, aren't you!"
