I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The person's appearance was unfamiliar; I had no idea who they were.

However, Qianhuan Guiji recognized her at a glance. Wasn't this the powerful person she had encountered at Lin Yi's house?

Although her clone was not as powerful as her original body, it took advantage of the other party's unwillingness to harm civilians and still died at the other party's hands, only causing her minor injuries. This woman's terror level was no less than "Bai Su"!

This world is indeed full of hidden talents; every now and then, two powerful figures you've never seen before will suddenly appear.

Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess merely took a step back, filled with wariness towards this woman.

Yan Qingqiu quickly dodged, not daring to leave his back to the woman who suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, the confrontation between the two sides immediately turned into a three-way standoff.

The only truly happy person in the entire room was probably Lin Yi.

Because the one who came out of the coffin was Jiang Linglong, Lin Yi guessed that the crystal coffin might belong to Jiang Linglong when Xiao Zhao pushed the coffin lid.

But he didn't dare to go past Yan Qingqiu to verify it, so he secretly cut his finger and let his blood flow out.

Everyone else was focused on fighting the enemy and didn't notice Lin Yi's little trick. Who would have thought that Lin Yi was bleeding the zombies to lure them in?

Since his cultivation level changed, his blood seemed to have become even more fragrant.

Xiao Zhao thought it was his own prolonged rummaging that caused the change, but little did he know that it was Lin Yi's blood that had awakened Jiang Linglong.

When Jiang Linglong jumped out of the coffin, she was carrying a small cauldron with flames underneath. Something seemed to be cooking inside, emitting a fragrant aroma.

What is visible to the naked eye is a mass of dragon energy churning inside the pot.

Xiao Zhao and Yan Qingqiu were both dumbfounded. Where did this woman come from? What did she do to take our dragon energy and make soup?

Jiang Linglong looked around and spotted Lin Yi in the crowd at a glance. However, she also sensed demonic energy, ghostly energy, and the aura of someone she had once beaten.

The person she killed at Lin Yi's house that time, although she killed him, she knew he wasn't really dead. Unexpectedly, his true form has returned, and she's right next to Lin Yi.

But it's perfect that the real body has arrived; we can just kill it while we're at it.

Jiang Linglong's gaze casually swept over the others, but when it landed on Qu Jing, her mindset suddenly underwent a subtle change...

Chapter 246 It was my nose that committed the crime.

Zombies are most sensitive to scent, and Jiang Linglong, as the Zombie Queen, has reached a level of sensitivity comparable to supernatural powers.

But being too sensitive isn't a good thing either. She could smell Lin Yi's scent on Qu Jing, a scent that wasn't just from intimate contact, but from deep, close contact.

This woman has only the scent of one man in her body, that man is Lin Yi, and judging from the freshness of this scent, the most recent scent left is no more than three days old.

She had met Qu Jing before, but Lin Yi had explained to her that it was something he had no choice but to do. What about this time?

You can't possibly stumble into another strange place and be forced into that situation again, can you?

Jiang Linglong's mental state collapsed.

I knew that once it happened the first time, there would be countless more...

Her gaze towards Qu Jing suddenly turned fierce.

The smell of his *** on you is a crime committed by my nose.

Although she wanted nothing more than to burn Qu Jing to ashes, Jiang Linglong ultimately held back.

She felt that if she really did that, Lin Yi would definitely be very angry, and Qu Jing hadn't done anything wrong. If she were to kill her, it wouldn't be in line with her usual style of doing things.

Now that things have come to this, she can only direct her anger at others.

Coincidentally, Yan Qingqiu's gaze was now fixed on her pot.

To be precise, it is a cauldron. This cauldron is called the Qiankun Yiqi Cauldron. It can transform Yin and Yang, refine the Five Elements, determine the Four Symbols, and regulate the Three Powers. The lid is decorated with a Qilin, the body with dragons and tigers fighting, birds and snakes contending, and the sun, moon and stars on the three legs.

It implies that there is nothing that cannot be contained within the universe.

These are Jiang Linglong's burial items, now used for making soup, which is quite useful.

Even dragon energy can only lie dormant within the lid of the cauldron.

Seeing that the dragon energy had been seized by someone else, Yan Qingqiu was unwilling to give up. The dragon energy was the most crucial part of the plan. Without the dragon energy, there was no point in mentioning anything else, because it was no longer possible to achieve anything.

"I don't care who you are, hand over what you have."

Jiang Linglong was already angry, and hearing this made her even angrier.

Do you think I'm easy to bully, so anyone dares to steal my things?

"If you've got the guts, then come at me!"

Seeing how assertive Jiang Linglong was, Lin Yi felt a little worried.

Although Jiang Linglong has high cultivation, she is still nearly two thousand years younger than Yan Qingqiu. She probably can't beat him, right?

Lin Yi wanted her to deal with Qianhuan Guiji. He hadn't expected Yan Qingqiu to appear here. Now that Jiang Linglong has clashed with Yan Qingqiu first, the situation is probably not good.

Lin Yi frowned inwardly, pondering how to help Jiang Linglong deal with Yan Qingqiu.

If they can make good use of Yan Qingqiu's weaknesses, they might not necessarily lose.

Lin Yi flipped through the Demon-Slaying Manual to the section on Jiang Linglong, wanting to investigate her special skills so he could cooperate with her.

[Ultimate Skill: Wrath of the Corpse King. The raging flames of rage will ignite Jiang Linglong's innate divine fire, causing her cultivation to surge. The stronger the rage, the more intense the flames, and the lower her rationality. At its limit, the amplification can reach tenfold. In this state, she will mercilessly incinerate everything in her sight, indiscriminately attacking friend or foe.]

[Weakness: Bloodlust, a curse stemming from blood, can cause them to lose their sanity]

Lin Yi: "..."

If it weren't for the Demon-Slaying Manual, Lin Yi wouldn't have known that Jiang Linglong had such a hidden skill. Jiang Linglong already had five thousand years of cultivation, and if she increased it tenfold, that would be fifty thousand years. Who could withstand that?

However, her strength comes at the cost of rationality. While this ultimate skill is powerful, its negative effects are equally severe.

If that moment really comes, it will be a situation of mutual destruction.

However, there's no need to be so angry just to deal with Yan Qingqiu.

Lin Yi felt somewhat relieved and made preparations to support Jiang Linglong.

But Jiang Linglong doesn't seem to need it.

She put the Qiankun Qi Cauldron into her sleeve and then took out a sword from it.

Upon seeing this sword, Bai Lianxian and Yan Qingqiu both paled. Even the old man Huai, who had been hiding underground, had his earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique that allows one to escape underground) broken by the power of this sword.

This place allows one to burrow underground, but one cannot leave; one can only temporarily hide underground. Now, even burrowing underground is no longer possible. Old Huai felt as if a large "death" character was written on his forehead.

Qu Jing's eyes widened when she saw the sword in Jiang Linglong's hand.

Because she also has the same model.

Her sword, also called Demon Slayer, is a replica of the ancient immortal sword Demon Slayer. The real Demon Slayer sword is three feet and seven inches long, made of the earth's core black iron, burned by the fire of the three realms, quenched by the blood of ten thousand demons, with dragon bone as the guard, phoenix feathers as the handle, and divine wood as the hilt.

When the sword is drawn, all demons tremble in fear, hence the name "Demon Slayer".

The Demon-Slaying Sword is fire-attribute, while she is water-attribute, so she was placed in cold iron. As for things like dragon bones mentioned in ancient books, she has none of them.

It is precisely because she didn't have any that she remembers these things so vividly.

Looking at the crimson demon-slaying sword in Jiang Linglong's hand, and then at his own, the difference between the genuine and the counterfeit was particularly striking at this moment.

Both Yan Qingqiu and Bai Lianxian felt a deadly threat from Jiang Linglong, and a large part of their fear came from this sword.

Yan Qingqiu was even more shocked. Ordinary immortal artifacts wouldn't put so much pressure on her. Jiang Linglong must be holding an immortal artifact, and one that could restrain her.

Immortal artifacts are rare to begin with, and most of them have relatively balanced functions. There are very few immortal artifacts that are specifically designed to counter a single object, but those immortal artifacts are truly invincible when they encounter an object that is countered.

However, after planning for so long, and with victory within reach, she couldn't give up at this point.

Even if Jiang Linglong possesses a magical artifact that counters her, she is not without the ability to fight back.

Yan Qingqiu could no longer pretend; now that it was a matter of life and death, she dared not be careless.

She curled her fingers into claws, and her nails suddenly grew longer as she lunged at Jiang Linglong. Jiang Linglong swung her sword to meet her, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.

It was so fast that even those below the first level could only see a blur.

Lin Yi was able to capture their movements dynamically, and even by slowing them down appropriately, he could still see the dangers they faced.

Jiang Linglong is not angry enough yet, so her strength is not as good as Yan Qingqiu's, but her zombie characteristics and the treasures she has are enough to make up for the difference in cultivation.

Holding the Demon-Slaying Sword, Yan Qingqiu dared not let Jiang Linglong's sword touch her. Jiang Linglong was dressed in a precious robe, and when Yan Qingqiu's claws struck her, they did not cause much damage.

After several exchanges, Jiang Linglong grew angrier and angrier. This vixen was like a tickle, but her opponent was more agile, while she could only take the beating. How could she not be angry?

Lin Yi is still watching!

Thinking of this, Jiang Linglong's eyes began to redden.

Yan Qingqiu's previous moves were merely to paralyze Jiang Linglong; she hadn't yet used her true trump card.

Now, it's about time.

A faint white light appeared on her claws. In the midst of battle, such details are easily overlooked, but an observer can see clearly. As soon as Lin Yi saw the light on her claws, he thought of her signature move, Fox Claw Shattering the Sky, an attack that could tear apart any defense. Jiang Linglong was unaware of this and would probably suffer a loss.

Immediately, Lin Yi shouted, "Watch out for her claws!"

At this moment, Jiang Linglong also grew long fingernails and scratched at Yan Qingqiu.

When the fox's claws met the zombie's claws, a series of ear-piercing scratching sounds were heard, and everyone present felt uncomfortable. The demon and the monster in the battle abandoned other ways of fighting and adopted the most primitive method of combat: scratching each other.

Yan Qingqiu grew increasingly anxious as the fight progressed. At first, he could suppress his opponent with his cultivation level, but now his opponent was becoming more and more aggressive, and he couldn't be sure when the opponent would turn the tables.

The current head-to-head competition reflects the narrowing gap between the two players, and even the potential for them to create a new gap.

Jiang Linglong doesn't even need the Demon-Slaying Sword to fight her to a standstill. If the fight continues, won't she suffer an even more crushing defeat?

Not to mention that Jiang Linglong also possesses a powerful weapon like the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Reason finally prevailed over her resentment. Now that things had come to this, Yan Qingqiu knew that further struggle would be futile; she was no match for this woman in red.

What angered her most was that her cultivation was no less than hers, yet she lost because of the immortal artifact. One can imagine how frustrated Yan Qingqiu was.

But the world of adult demons is not easy; no matter how difficult it is, they can only accept their fate.

She looked at Xiao Zhao, who at this moment was like a salted fish who had lost his dream. The treasure he had planned for many years had ended up being nothing. Who could accept this?

Even if Xiao Zhao fails this time, it will not damage his foundation, and he will have his own time to make a comeback in the future.

Yan Qingqiu looked at Xiao Zhao and gradually adjusted her mindset. She still had a thousand years to plan slowly. Although it would be hard to accept that all her previous efforts would be in vain, at least she wouldn't die.

Force is always the most convincing. Not long ago, Jiang Linglong was determined to fight to the death to reclaim the dragon energy.

Now that she's calmed down a bit, she's no longer entangled in a fight with Jiang Linglong. The one who gets stronger the more she fights either uses a secret technique or pays the price of some short-term burst of power. In any case, the opponent will be exhausted and weak for a while afterward.
