I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

His schedule was tight, and he had arranged to meet the people of the Hundred Ghosts Sect in Baishui County, so he couldn't stay in Hanzhong County for too long.

Lin Yi ignited the Centipede Demon King with a burst of Yang Fire. Soon after, the Centipede Demon King stopped struggling, and a fragrant aroma of burning flesh spread out.

The centipede meat was indeed delicious, but unfortunately, Lin Yi had chopped it so much that juices flew everywhere, and he didn't know if he had broken the venom sacs. Of course, he wouldn't dare to eat the meat.

The yang fire slowly died down, and the Demon-Slaying Manual slowly turned, absorbing the cultivation of the Centipede Demon King.

Lin Yi's current gains are only one-eighth, but he already has seven thousand years of cultivation. As is customary, the Demon-Slaying Manual stores this cultivation for use in the next tribulation.

Just then, the little snake demon woke up again, and Lin Yi took out its venomous fangs from its mouth.

"As agreed, I will pass on a cultivation method to you. I hope you will walk the righteous path and do good deeds in the future. Consider the centipede corpse over there as an opportunity for you."

If one day I find out you've harmed someone, I will kill you, understand?

That little snake demon had only cultivated for a little over ten years, and had never seen anything like this before.

It had never even seen some powerful demon kings before, and was frightened by this centipede today. But since Lin Yi had killed such a powerful centipede, how could it not be afraid? It immediately nodded repeatedly.

Lin Yi then taught him a proper method of cultivating the mind and nourishing the spirit. It was a righteous cultivation method, and the cultivation speed was not fast among humans, but it was steady and solid, and it could also temper one's character.

He is teaching the snake demon its techniques today. If the snake demon causes trouble in the future, he will also be held responsible for its sins, so that the snake demon can walk the righteous path and he will not have to clean house from it in the future.

Hopefully, this demon can be a good demon like Bai Lianxian, and not have to get involved in all the conflicts in the human world.

Lin Yi used his divine sense to infuse the cultivation technique into the snake demon's mind. The massive amount of information caused the snake demon to faint. When it woke up, Lin Yi had disappeared without a trace, but the aroma of the martial arts remained unchanged.

This is the flesh and blood of a dead demon king, containing immense energy. Moreover, the centipede demon king was a poisonous creature, and poisonous creatures can attract each other, making them even stronger.

Despite its small size, the little snake demon was not about to let go of such a delicious meal.

It burrowed into the centipede's shell and began to devour it.

By the time it crawled out of its shell, the snake had grown several times larger.

This was only the flesh from the head; there was much more flesh in the body. The snake demon knew that this flesh might attract more demons, so she didn't dare to be greedy. After eating what she could, she hurriedly left.

"I wonder if that snake demon will come back to repay me after obtaining this opportunity."

As Lin Yi headed to the inn, he couldn't help but start having those boring thoughts again.

Whether I repay it or not is irrelevant; I just hope it doesn't cause trouble in the future.

Otherwise, it can only be transformed into the cultivation level recorded in his demon-slaying manual.

Fortunately, the Demon-Slaying Manual has already recorded it, so if it makes a mistake in the future, Lin Yi will be able to deal with it.

With the imposing aura of having slain the Centipede Demon King, Lin Yi carefully infiltrated the inn.

The Moonlit Buddha and the Knowing King of the Underworld were in two adjacent rooms. When Lin Yi arrived, the Moonlit Buddha was meditating with his eyes closed, while the Knowing King of the Underworld was sleeping, seemingly without any sense of vigilance.

Lin Yi felt that his carefree attitude was somewhat like a trap to lure the enemy in, but he was also very confident in his own abilities.

Since the other party dared to give him a weakness, he would take the bait and return the hook.

Lin Yi had a plan in mind: kill Zhiyan Mingwang first. He still didn't understand how the judges of the underworld descended to the human world through Mingwang, but even if they did, the strength that Judge Cui had displayed in the human world was not as great as that of the Moonlight Buddha.

The gods of the underworld are not necessarily stronger than those of the human world.

To deal with such a summoner, you can assassinate him before he even speaks.

Moreover, the Moonlight Buddha possesses indestructible divine powers, making it impossible for Lin Yi to defeat him in a short time. Therefore, he can only start by targeting the Underworld King Zhiyan.

Lin Yi carefully crept in, no longer bothering to conceal himself. He had barely entered when he suddenly launched an attack, like a shadow suddenly leaping out from the shadows beside Zhiyan Mingwang, slashing at his neck with his sword.

"Ding!"

A metallic clang rang out, as if Lin Yi had struck not flesh and blood, but metal.

The Demon-Slaying Sword was extremely sharp, and sparks flew from the impact.

Unable to break through the opponent's defenses, Lin Yi immediately realized he had fallen into a trap!

At the same time, a golden light shattered on Zhiyan Mingwang's body, and he quickly got up. Just then, two figures broke through the door and trapped Lin Yi in the middle.

"Senior brother's Vajra Talisman is indeed powerful; it tricked the thief so easily."

Lin Yi was shocked to realize that he had lured and killed a centipede demon king. He thought that taking on two at once would be safe enough, but who knew that the Moon White Light Buddha was so prudent and had hidden a new helper!

The new monk was still a young boy, only a little over 1.6 meters tall, with a very youthful face, like a child who knew nothing of the world.

However, he held an extremely high position at Qianfo Temple, being the White Dragon Protector, one of the Four Vajra Protectors.

His spiritual attainment was somewhat lower than that of the Moonlight Buddha, but he was still quite formidable.

Because of his youthful appearance, countless masters have fallen to him.

Compared to the Moonlight Buddha, the White Dragon Protector is weaker in cultivation and supernatural powers, but he is the most astute.

He was the one who came to the inn earlier and found that the Centipede King had not returned for a long time, so he immediately ordered someone to set up this ambush.

The Buddha of Moonlight expended his magical power to prepare the Vajra Talisman for the King of the Underworld, which was intended to lure the enemy and protect himself. Now, it has indeed proven effective.

Lin Yi's heart sank when he saw the three people surrounding him, all of whom were human. The Demon-Slaying Manual and the Demon-Slaying Sword were useless to him.

Since his transmigration, he has encountered various events, often narrowly escaping danger. For example, he had to face a thousand-year-old female ghost despite having no cultivation, a five-thousand-year-old zombie despite having a hundred years of cultivation, and a six-thousand-year-old fox demon despite having three thousand years of cultivation...

But on all those occasions, what appeared to be a perilous situation actually turned out to be a close call, and he never truly found himself in a life-or-death predicament.

However, this time he could neither see the other party's cultivation level nor know what other supernatural abilities the other party possessed, and he was also surrounded by three opponents.

Even more deadly, when Hades stood up, Buddhist scriptures appeared on all four walls.

This is not a mystical formation, but a Buddhist supernatural power.

Lin Yi had little experience in this area, but he could tell that some kind of treasure had been used.

"I never expected you to dare come to me on the very first day, but you probably never expected that I could gather so many like-minded people in just one day. Today, let me send you on your way!"

Seeing that Lin Yi was already trapped, the Buddha of Moonlight finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With three against one, how could he possibly escape?

There was no point in exchanging pleasantries. The Moonlight Buddha, wielding his staff, charged towards Lin Yi, while the White Dragon Protector took out a wooden fish and began striking it.

The sound of the wooden fish spread, and the scriptures on the wall trembled slightly.

In the blink of an eye, the inn's furnishings had vanished, and Lin Yi could only see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood all around him, with sharp knives stuck in their bodies.

This change in scenery was not an illusion.

Lin Yi possessed the Eye of Truth and could naturally see that this was not a simple illusion. He had truly arrived in another dimension, but he had not actually entered it. Perhaps he had entered halfway!

He was not disturbed by external things. When the Buddha of Moonlight Strike came with his staff, Lin Yi, just like last night, grabbed the staff and snatched it away.

The Moonlight Buddha was dumbfounded. How could Lin Yi's strength have increased so much in just one day?

Could it be that he was hiding his true abilities yesterday?

The Moonlit Buddha was caught off guard by Lin Yi's sudden change and stumbled as Lin Yi's fist landed on his face the next second.

With a loud thud, like a hammer striking a large bell, it produced a heavy sound.

Even the Buddha Vajra, with his body radiating moonlight and light, felt a faint pain on his face.

Yesterday's Lin Yi clearly didn't have this kind of strength!

But if he had this ability all along, why did he hide it yesterday?

Upon recalling his mention of a three-day period, the Moonlit Buddha immediately realized that Lin Yi must have used a secret technique.

Such a method of rapidly increasing one's cultivation level is bound to be short-lived.

Immediately, the Moonlight Buddha changed tactics.

"White Dragon, trap him and buy him time!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Three against one and you're not going to finish this quickly? Are you waiting for me to stack up my buffs?

Chapter 362 The Crown Prince

A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and arson.

After Lin Yi was surrounded, he clearly sensed that the Moonlight Buddha was letting him off the hook.

He quickly understood the other party's tactics. They thought he was like a trapped beast, so they were unwilling to fight him to the death and wanted to slowly wear him down like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi actually relaxed a little.

If the three opponents joined forces, even with Lin Yi's advantage of a thousand years of cultivation, he would not be able to withstand their superior numbers.

But if the opponent wants to play a attrition strategy, then they're really getting off easy.

With his seven thousand years of cultivation, how could he possibly be outlasted by three opponents?

Not to mention that he mainly cultivates with his physical body, which consumes little energy and recovers quickly. It is precisely because of the characteristics of the physical body that he could probably wear down all three of them and still retain 70% of his energy.

Seeing this, Lin Yi also began to cooperate with the Moonlight Buddha, and his offensive methods were no longer so fierce.

The Moonlit Buddha was overjoyed. Sure enough, his extraordinary combat power couldn't be maintained for long.

If we just wait a little longer, Lin Yi will be nothing more than meat on a chopping board!

Within the city of Hanzhong, no one noticed the battle between top-ranking officials, because while the battlefield was in Hanzhong, it was not entirely outside of Hanzhong.

But the city of Hanzhong is not peaceful tonight either.

Inside the prefectural governor's mansion, Chen Nan paced slowly in his study. It was clear that something was on his mind, which was why he was trying to distract himself in this way.

With a creak, the window was pushed open. Chen Nan stopped abruptly and looked to the side. A masked man in black was calmly climbing in through the window.

"Your Highness has finally arrived."

Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this person.

Once someone arrives, it's like an arrow on a bowstring—there's no turning back.

Thinking about it this way actually makes one feel more at ease.

"I've dealt with the beginning and the end, but it's caused Uncle Chen some worry."

The visitor casually sat down on the stool, as if he were at home. He pulled off his face mask, revealing a handsome and resolute face.

The man whom Chen Nan addressed as His Highness was not a member of the Xiao family's royal family. He was now surnamed Zhao and named Zhao Gang, while his original surname was Liu and named Liu Jian, who was the former crown prince.
