I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi noticed Xiao Yue as she walked out.

"Where are you going?"

Xiao Yue said shyly, "I'm a little dirty, I want to go wash up."

Lin Yi: "..."

Is it unsafe to bathe in the wild?

"It can be done in the camp."

"The female soldiers are all exhausted..."

"It's alright, I'll take care of you."

As he spoke, Lin Yi went to Xiao Yue's tent on his own, snapped his fingers, and clear water flowed continuously into the bathtub. With another snap of his fingers, the water was heated.

Magical arts create a better life.

Orochi: "..."

Who is this guy? He ruined my plans!

With Lin Yi having made such thorough arrangements, Xiao Yue's attempts at psychological manipulation naturally failed.

She certainly felt more at ease bathing in her own tent, and there was no reason for her to go outside to bathe anymore.

Lin Yi continued to lecture him, "As the commander-in-chief of the army, you must always pay attention to your safety. Alright, you can go wash up now, I'll go keep watch outside."

He's currently using a female character, not a real woman, so he naturally has to avoid his apprentice while she's taking a shower.

However, after leaving the camp, he only left behind a talisman as a warning, and then headed straight for the river...

"Who are you, you scoundrel? Show yourself at once!"

Chapter 527 Where Did You Come From, Protector?

Lin Yi had already sensed something was wrong when Xiao Yue started showing unusual symptoms.

He calmly restored Xiao Yue to normal, left some precautions, and then headed straight for the river.

His body has over 300,000 years of cultivation; what kind of monster would dare to be arrogant in front of him?

Lin Yi made no attempt to conceal himself and went straight to the river, shouting loudly.

Orochi's feelings were also somewhat complicated; this had happened twice already!

Last time, she was also hiding in the water when Wang Jinxuan called her out. This time, the mysterious woman in front of her spotted her immediately as well.

Is its stealth ability really that bad?

The giant snake was somewhat depressed, so it had no choice but to emerge from the water, without even making any fancy entrance like it had when it first met Wang Jinxuan.

After all, she had a purpose in appearing in front of Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan in the first place.

But she didn't need to in front of this woman in purple.

Moreover, there was a vague sense of familiarity about this woman in purple, which was impossible to see through or figure out.

When did such a mysterious and powerful figure appear in the human world?

Since she just happened to appear in front of me, I might as well test her true worth.

The giant snake broke through the waves, revealing its enormous head, and emerged decisively from underwater.

Lin Yi saw that a monster had indeed emerged, and it was a monster that had not yet taken human form. He immediately sneered inwardly.

This little monster dares to try and harm my disciple?

court death?

His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was about to make a move, but at this moment, the Demon-Slaying Manual turned a page, and not only that, the name at the top of the Demon-Slaying Ranking was also refreshed.

[The Candle-Bearing Dragon: King of all demons, guardian of humanity, protector of day and night, watchman of the dragon veins, and immortal serpent. Having lost its most important authority, its power has drastically decreased, and it can no longer transform into human form. Killing it grants nine million years of cultivation, the essence of the Candle Dragon, the heart of the Candle Dragon, the power to devour the heavens and spit out the moon, and the power to illuminate the nine netherworlds…]

Goodness...

Lin Yi had always been curious about just how powerful the number one on the Demon Ranking was, but he never expected that this guy would be so terrifying...

The difference in cultivation level between the top two on the list is more than a thousand times. Even if Lin Yi's true form came over, it probably wouldn't be enough for this snake to swallow him whole.

Not to mention it has so many titles, each of which sounds incredibly impressive.

Moreover, this was the first time Lin Yi had realized that the Demon-Slaying Manual was not omnipotent.

The merits and demerits of this candle-bearing dragon are unclear, and its status is only marked with the words "preparing to attack".

The stronger the opponent and the greater the gap between their cultivation level and Lin Yi's, the less clear their status is displayed in the Demon Subduing Manual.

This is also a pattern that Lin Yi discovered.

The Candle-Bearing Dragon had no weaknesses, yet its supernatural powers were listed on a full page, ending with an ellipsis.

This demon is terrifying beyond belief!

I admit, I was a little too loud just now.

Lin Yi's heart tightened; he truly hadn't expected that the monster that had come to lure Xiao Yue would be such a terrifying demon.

It's perfectly capable of charging right in!

But is it a guardian of humanity?

Thinking of this title, Lin Yi relaxed a bit. All indications suggested that although this snake was powerful, it might not be an enemy.

However, the giant snake was extremely sensitive to killing intent, and when Lin Yi subconsciously felt a murderous urge, she launched an attack.

A surging column of water shot straight towards Lin Yi.

If Wang Jinxuan and Xiaocao had faced such a water column, they wouldn't have lasted even one round and would have been instantly killed.

When the giant snake played with them, it was just casually teasing the water, then lazily moving around a few times to give Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan a brief check.

However, when facing Lin Yi, who was not weak and whose origins were unknown, the giant snake's probing became more aggressive.

Lin Yi, seeing the water jet coming from the giant snake, certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to catch it.

If you can't catch it, can't you at least dodge it?

"Water escape!"

As soon as he spoke, Lin Yi appeared on the river surface.

A fierce glint flashed in the serpent's eyes. It knew that the ability to make words come true was the power of a celestial being from the upper realm.

This person doesn't seem to be the original body; he's most likely an avatar of that deity. His strength in the mortal realm is consistent with that deity's level.

The giant snake mistook Lin Yi for the Venerable Miaofa, and from its logical perspective, there seemed to be nothing wrong with that.

However, the great serpent's attitude towards gods and mysterious powerful beings in the human world was completely different.

Gods must die!

She knows how to control her attacks on cultivators in the mortal realm, and she rarely injures anyone.

With her abilities, she could easily do that.

But when facing a deity, it naturally shows no mercy, especially since this deity has discovered its presence, making it even more unforgivable!

Lin Yi watched as the serpent's state on the Demon-Slaying Manual changed, and its eyes revealed a fierce light. He knew then that the serpent was about to become ruthless.

Faced with its nine million years of cultivation, this clone would probably be destroyed on the spot.

Trying to defeat monsters of a higher level is unrealistic. Being slightly less powerful is barely possible, but trying to defeat monsters dozens of times weaker is just a pipe dream.

The giant serpent unleashed its full power, summoning wind and thunder without casting a spell.

Lin Yi felt as if the space around him was sealed off, and he couldn't even use any escape techniques.

But as luck would have it, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew the veil off his face.

At this moment, the giant snake, which had opened its blood-red maw and was about to unleash its Devouring Heaven technique to swallow the deity in front of it whole, was stunned.

It was as if time had suddenly stopped; its open mouth remained unclosed, making it look particularly frightening.

After remaining still for a few seconds, the giant snake suddenly withdrew all its power and lay quietly on the water's surface like a dead snake.

This……

Lin Yi was completely bewildered.

Although the giant snake did not have a human form, Lin Yi understood the meaning behind its appearance.

This means bowing one's head in remorse, submitting, and surrendering.

What the hell?

what happened?

Lin Yi was completely bewildered, but the giant snake clearly resembled a devout believer, lying there without any sign of wariness.

If Lin Yi were to bring the Demon-Slaying Sword now, he could probably cut off its neck directly.

There must be a reason why it went from being majestic and imposing to being like this now.

Lin Yi couldn't help but touch the clone's face.

If there's any change, it's only in her face.

She was initially veiled, but a gust of wind blew it away, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Seeing the giant snake's reaction, Lin Yi suddenly had a bad feeling.

Goodness gracious, could the face I just randomly created actually exist?

Moreover, the owner of this face is definitely extraordinary. Even an exaggerated being like the Candle Dragon was brought down on the spot just because of a face.

What power and might this be?

Is it really okay for him to use the face of such a big shot as a clone?

Thinking about the knowledge of immortals and gods that Lan Yu and other immortals had popularized, Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

Those powerful immortals and gods can be sensed just by mentioning their names. Could it be that the one above already knows about my act of using someone else's face?

Lin Yi was terrified upon closer examination, and even considered abandoning this clone.
