Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

The moment they appeared, all the insects scattered, swarming over the seven demons, including the fat man.

In the blink of an eye, the seven people were completely covered, their bodies crawling with wriggling black worms.

The demon-slaying team was thus rescued. They collapsed to the ground, staring in bewilderment at the suddenly appearing black insects, wondering about their origin.

Ding!

Suddenly, the sound of a bell ringing rang out from inside the black insect-covered area.

It was just a simple ringing of a bell, but the black insects seemed to freeze in time, their wriggling movements instantly ceasing.

Soon, like peeling paint falling off a wall, large pieces of paint peeled off the seven demons.

The old man among the seven now had two gold and silver bells in his hands; the sound just now came from his hands.

After the black insect fell off, a musical instrument appeared in the hands of all six people except the old man.

There are pipa, flute, erhu, suona, gong...

"Who is this Demon-Subduing Officer? Why hide? Show yourself!" the old man said in a hoarse voice.

“Using sound as a weapon, what a brilliant move.” The ground not far away suddenly sank, revealing a large hole, from which Ning Xiu and He Han emerged.

Along the way, Ning Xiu was truly amazed by He Han's methods of Gu cultivation.

In He Han's hands, there are not only Gu that can detect intelligence, but also Gu that can dig soil. There are many kinds of Gu, making them difficult to guard against.

Looking at the seven demons, Ning Xiu's expression was very serious. Judging from their aura, all seven of them were second-rank. He wondered where their forces came from, that they would send seven demons to kill the Demon Subduer in one go. Their methods were too extravagant.

The seven demons each carried a musical instrument. Judging from the old man's performance just now, they should all belong to the School of Music.

This method excels at striking without visible force, using the sound of musical instruments to unleash powerful energy invisible to the naked eye.

The reason why those black insects lost their ability to move in an instant was because their life force had already been shattered in an instant by the sound of the old man's bell.

"Two Demon Slayers have arrived. My trip was worthwhile. I'm sure the Demon Slayer Bureau will regret killing you." The beautiful woman let out an alluring laugh.

He Han remained calm and composed. It wasn't that he lacked methods to deal with the Way of Music; the greatest danger of this way was that its attacks were invisible, making them impossible to defend against.

However, as long as you keep a close eye on the musical instruments in the hands of those who follow the Way of Music, you can prevent it to a great extent. Destroying the musical instruments is equivalent to directly crippling those who follow the Way of Music.

As He Han moved his two fingers, the black insect corpses that had covered the ground began to tremble.

The corpses split open one by one, and out emerged four-winged flying insects, each no bigger than a mung bean and golden in color.

These flying insects, covered in armor that resembled suits of armor, began attacking the musical instruments in the hands of the seven demons like madmen.

Most of those musical instruments were made of wood or jade, and they were no match for the attacks of the alien insects. If they were destroyed, even a master of the second rank in music would have their strength greatly reduced.

The alien insect had already crawled onto the surface of the instrument and was about to succeed.

Suddenly, the strongest of the seven men slammed his fist down on the bronze drum in his hand, and a commotion erupted immediately.

hum!

All the alien insects that approached the seven people were swept by a ripple in the air, and the carapaces on their bodies began to crack.

Meanwhile, the air ripples continued to spread in all directions, and cracks even appeared on the ground as a result.

Just as the sound wave was about to hit Ning Xiu and his companion, Ning Xiu stretched out a hand and, relying solely on his physical strength, forcefully dispersed the approaching sound wave.

"Such trivial skills? You're underestimating us too much," the fat man laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven demons began to play their instruments, and the instruments rang out in unison, creating a symphony of music.

The seemingly simple musical instruments, once activated in the hands of these seven people, were like a mechanism that had been turned on.

Although nothing could be seen, an intense killing intent filled the space.

He Han's expression froze. He clearly felt something locking onto him, but he couldn't see anything.

Ning Xiu, who was standing next to him, had the same feeling. He subconsciously used the Qi Observation Technique and immediately saw a huge, shadow-like demon wielding a knife and attacking.

This fiend was clad in armor and helmet, wielding a long sword, while his lower body was as ethereal as clouds and mist. By the time Ning Xiu noticed him, the other party had already silently slashed at He Han's forehead with a sword.

"Watch out!" Ning Xiu quickly used his internal force to push He Han, who was still standing in place, away.

In the next instant, a knife mark several feet long appeared out of thin air on the ground, completely without warning.

Cold sweat immediately streamed down He Han's face. If it weren't for Ning Xiu's help, he would probably be decapitated by now.

He couldn't sense what was attacking him, where it was coming from, or even the aura it was using. Under these circumstances, there was absolutely no way for him to dodge.

After slashing out, the evil spirit vanished on the spot, just as suddenly as it appeared, it disappeared without warning.

Ning Xiu looked at the seven demons, and it was obvious that the invisible and silent evil spirits were definitely their doing.

"Oh?" Seeing that the sword strike, which should have been a sure kill, had failed to kill He Han, the girl among the seven couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.

The instrument this person was using was a xylophone. Judging from her behavior, the invisible evil spirit she had just summoned was actually summoned by this woman.

This demon probably never imagined that Ning Xiu would possess the ability to perceive qi and destiny, allowing him to see the existence of evil spirits.

"Hurry up and deal with these two Demon-Slaying Officers; we can't linger here any longer," the fat man said.

So the seven demons simultaneously began playing their instruments, staging a group performance on the spot.

In an instant, a chilling aura filled the world, and even the sky began to darken, with the wind rustling through the grass.

Although he couldn't see the invisible thing, He Han could sense that the atmosphere was beginning to change dramatically, so he quickly controlled a large number of Gu worms to crawl onto the surface of his skin.

It temporarily formed a thick, sturdy outer shell to protect itself.

Ding!!

As the girl plucked the strings, one after another, demons wielding weapons appeared, digging at the ground with one hand and rapidly surging towards Ning Xiu.

In the sky, a three-headed, transparent bird cried out and suicidally swooped down towards the ground.

Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!

A large number of transparent arrows rained down from the sky, covering an area of ​​several miles. At normal speed, it was impossible to escape this area.

The only option is to face all the blows head-on.

He Han couldn't see the full extent of the crisis he was facing; he could only warily observe his surroundings.

They were trying to fend off the attack of the seven strange men from the Music Path when danger struck.

Ning Xiu was different from him; he could not sit idly by and wait for death. So he summoned his protective golden bell, gathered his Heavenly Gang Inner Force in both palms, and slammed them hard onto the ground.

boom!

Under Ning Xiu's monstrous strength, the earth trembled violently, and the Heavenly Gang Inner Force erupted instantly, soaring into the sky with the force of crimson flames, engulfing the Demon Subduing Squad and He Han.

Before any unseen evil spirits could react, they all crashed into Ning Xiu's internal energy and were instantly shattered.

boom!

Two long spears burst forth from the ground; they were Ning Xiu's Candle Dragon and Yin Willow, and they flew toward the seven demons.

The fat man's eyes widened in disbelief, because he could actually sense the aura of a national treasure emanating from one of the spears!

Is the Demon-Slaying Division so extravagant now that even a Demon-Slaying Captain can possess a national treasure?

A greedy look immediately appeared in the fat man's eyes, even though he was a music practitioner and not skilled with guns.

But who can resist the temptation of a national treasure?

The seven demons played their instruments, and the sound waves formed a powerful barrier that withstood the penetration of the two spears, creating an invisible wall of air.

To onlookers, Ning Xiu's two spears appeared to be frozen in mid-air, only able to move forward slowly.

But the power of Ning Xiu's Heavenly Might Divine Spear was not so simple. As Ning Xiu moved with the spear, the Candle Dragon's whole body burst into flames, and a red dragon figure appeared.

It pierced through the sound barrier in an instant, and the fire directly engulfed the seven demons, burning them in a sea of ​​flames.

Yin Liu followed closely behind, and under the cover of the raging flames, silently pierced into the sea of ​​fire, penetrating the chest of the young demoness.

But something strange happened to Ning Xiu: there were no screams coming from the sea of ​​fire; it was completely calm and undisturbed.

It was as if no one had died at all, but Ning Xiu was absolutely certain that he had killed someone with the Yin Willow.

Once the fire had died down, a very conspicuous hole was visible in the chest of the young demon girl, running from her front to her back.

But her expression remained unchanged; she stood firmly in place, staring blankly at Ning Xiu.

“Not a living person,” He Han said in a low voice.

There was no sign of life on the woman's body, and judging from the gunshot wound pierced by Yin Liu, the flesh inside was already necrotic and decaying.

In other words, the girl who played the piano should have died long ago, but not long ago she was able to play the piano like a normal person.

call out!call out!

Under Ning Xiu's control, the two spears flew back into his hands, and the sonic waves created by the seven demons were all blocked by Ning Xiu's Heavenly Gang Inner Force, leaving him unharmed.

“There’s more than one.” Ning Xiu tapped the ground with the butt of his gun, having inadvertently discovered the secret of the young demon girl.

This made Ning Xiu wonder if there might be other corpses among the seven who had already died.

If that's the case, then these seven demons are definitely not just at the second rank of the Music Dao.

"You all leave first and retreat back to the main camp. The situation outside is unclear, and there may be other demons making moves in the shadows," Ning Xiu said to the demon-subduing squad not far away.

"Yes, sir." The demon-slaying officers knew that their strength was insufficient to play any role in the current situation.

Staying might still have an impact on Ning Xiu and the other person, so they quickly left and headed straight for the camp.

"Lord He, among these seven people, there might only be one true demon, while the other six are all corpse cultivators. Do you have a way to identify the living dead?" Ning Xiu asked He Han.

In his eyes, each of the seven demons had a line of destiny on their bodies, making it impossible to distinguish who was the real one and who was the fake one based on this alone.

The methods of Gu are diverse, and there might be some breakthroughs in this area.

"It will take some time, can you hold them off for a while?"

“Okay,” Ning Xiu readily agreed.

He Han sat on the ground and stretched out his fingers to draw mysterious patterns on the ground.

Whenever a pattern is completed, it will be crawling with Gu worms.

On the other side, after the girl was pierced through the chest by Yin Liu, the attitude of the seven demons became significantly more aggressive, and Ning Xiu couldn't care less about watching He Han's behavior for a moment.

He immediately activated the Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Body and rushed towards the seven demons.

Since we can't figure out which one is the true form of the demon, let's try to destroy them all once and for all.
