Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

He was covered in demon tattoos and wielded two scythe chains, swinging them rapidly like windmills, creating gusts of wind.

Behind him, three gray, vengeful spirits followed closely, also emitting chilling, shrill laughs.

"Master, what should we do now? That guy is already at the first-grade level. If he keeps chasing us like this, we won't be able to escape his clutches at all. We'll just be toyed with. Besides, we're too far from the Demon-Subduing Camp right now. Even if we use a swift horse, we won't be able to escape back." Chang Fenghai asked Master Kongxu.

Although the opponent's strength wasn't considered particularly high within Ning Xiu's team, their experience and expertise were unparalleled; they were extremely seasoned.

Therefore, when people have questions they can't figure out, they will subconsciously ask Master Kongxu for advice.

During this demon-slaying martial arts exercise, Ning Xiu's team was ordered to go out and hunt evil spirits, but unexpectedly encountered a first-rank demon on the way.

After holding off the man behind the Demon Buddha Hall, the rest of the team retreated and fled for their lives.

But to my dismay, when bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

On their escape, they encountered a sorcerer skilled in escaping through evil winds. This sorcerer enjoyed torturing people and relentlessly chased after them, not in a hurry to kill them, but just hanging on them as if playing a game of cat and mouse.

Perhaps he planned to wait until everyone was exhausted before carrying out the killings, so he could experience a different kind of thrill.

“Demons have twisted minds and behave completely differently from normal people. Unless we can work together to defeat them, I have no other way to help them,” Master Kongxu said helplessly, shaking his head as he rode his strange beast.

"Forget it, no matter how we try to escape, it's all in vain. We might as well stop and fight him. It's better than being exhausted and tortured to death," Chen Peifeng said through gritted teeth.

His suggestion was met with unanimous approval from everyone. Immediately, everyone tacitly stopped their beasts and turned to look at the pursuing demon, each displaying a determination to fight to the death.

This caused the demons, who had been happily pursuing the monster, to suddenly freeze in surprise.

"Run! Why aren't you running? Do you think you can fight to the death just because you outnumber me? Let me tell you, it's no use." The demon landed from the black smoke, swinging his scythe and kindly advising him.

"Run! Keep going! I always keep my word. As long as you can escape my sight, I will definitely spare your lives. Don't underestimate me just because I'm a demon. I have principles of keeping my promises."

Faced with the demon's insane ramblings, Long Ning, who had transformed from a dragon into a human, was the first to take action. With her agile movements, she rushed towards the demon at lightning speed.

Purple and blue lightning crackled in her left and right hands, arcs of lightning flashing and expanding continuously.

After Long Ning rushed several meters away, two lightning tails stretched out behind her due to her excessive speed, which was quite a sight.

Beneath this beauty, however, lies danger.

A dragon's roar resounded, and Long Ning's hands transformed into dragon claws, striking the demon in front of him with a thunderous roar.

Having absorbed the Thunderclap and Purple Lightning Hammers, Long Ning's arms possess the power of thunder, and coupled with her dragon bloodline, she is naturally able to exert tremendous suppression on evil spirits.

Demons who cultivate by relying on evil forces are inherently inferior to Shang Long Ning.

However, the demon was a true first-grade expert. Even though Long Ning could restrain him to some extent, she still had to admit defeat in the face of absolute power.

A wisp of vengeful spirit behind the demon swiftly passed through his body and blocked Long Ning's attack in front of him.

Evil spirits should fear lightning, but the lightning controlled by Long Ning's hands seemed to have a different flavor. Not only did it fail to harm the wronged soul, it also fueled the soul's arrogance, causing the wronged soul to let out a strange laugh, seemingly enjoying it very much.

"Go...run away! Or I'll kill you all!" The demon was furious when he saw that Long Ning dared to attack him. He swung his scythe and iron chain backhand, and Long Ning was sent flying. Blood splattered from her arms, and when she looked down, she saw two deep, bone-revealing bloodstains.

Just then, a lithe figure leaped out and lightly caught Long Ning's body.

It was Aying, the quietest member of the team, who caught Long Ning and landed on the ground, then reached out and pressed her hand against the other's wound.

Surprisingly, the wound on Long Ning's arm began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the bleeding stopped.

"Are you alright?" A-Ying asked Long Ning with concern.

Aying was a beautiful woman with fair skin and delicate features, and a slender figure. When she was held in Aying's arms, Long Ning felt a strange sense of intimacy and quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, sister."

"Taoist Master! You can bother me from the sidelines and try to take advantage of me, but don't go into the center circle. I'm afraid you'll die if you touch it." Chang Fenghai slapped his forehead with both hands, and his forehead immediately turned bright red. Amidst the bruises, a snake totem and a fox totem clearly emerged.

At this moment, Chang Fenghai summoned two demon immortals to possess him at the same time, and Hu Taigu and Mangqiu Liu appeared together.

The physical characteristics of a fox and a python demon appeared on his left and right sides, respectively.

Its left half was covered in wild red hair and had sharp claws, while its right half was covered in black scales and had snake-like eyes.

Chang Fenghai's aura surged, and he quickly displayed a level of strength that was beyond his own.

"Boy, where have you been? I can barely sense your presence anymore. If you go any further, it won't be so easy for this old woman to come to me."

"What a stench! How many years has this vengeful ghost been around? The resentment is so strong that I almost threw up."

Two different voices emanated from Chang Fenghai's body; they were Hu Taigu and Mangqiu Liu.

The two demon immortals possessed him at the same time and immediately noticed the presence of the demon.

"Great Aunt, Mr. Mang, something terrible has happened! I've been targeted by this first-rank demon, and I can't shake him off no matter what I do. Please, both of you, save my life and the lives of my companions!" Chang Fenghai said anxiously.

"No problem, no problem. Even if you weren't our spirit host, we'd still spare your life for Lord Ning's sake. Besides, as our only spirit host, there's no reason for us to let you be bullied so easily."

"Watch me. Although a first-rank expert is very strong, he is not completely invincible. I ask you, Chang family brat, how much are you willing to pay to survive?"

Mangqiu asked in his uniquely sinister, snake-like voice.

Chang Fenghai was taken aback at first, but then replied firmly, "It all depends on you, Mr. Mang. If we can win, there is nothing I cannot give up."

"Good!" Mangqiu Liu laughed loudly, "Now let's see how this great master performs."

boom!

Chang Fenghai suddenly leaped up on the spot, his entire body like a cannonball, causing the ground to crack and sink, while he rushed towards the location of the demon.

The two demon immortals could sense the vengeful spirit's resentment over the years, and the demon man could naturally sense that this guy's aura had suddenly changed.

He was originally a single person, but at this moment, two other auras appeared out of nowhere within his body, as if three people were simultaneously in one body.

"Playing tricks!" The sorcerer swung his scythe, causing the iron chains to rattle.

The scythe was like a deadly grim reaper, silently and directly slicing towards Chang Fenghai's head.

If this strike lands, it will surely result in a severed head.

Chapter 147 [147] Chang Fenghai fights with his life

The flying scythe snatches away souls and takes lives, its sharpness intimidating.

Chang Fenghai unleashed his half-snake-scale hand, forcibly using the tip of the flying scythe. In a flash, sparks flew, and the flying scythe, which should have been able to cut through iron and stone, was instead destroyed.

He was firmly held in Chang Fenghai's hand, unable to pull away even a fraction of an inch.

With the two demon immortals possessing him, Chang Fenghai's cultivation and even his strength were significantly enhanced.

"Come here, you bastard!" Mangqiu Liu shouted arrogantly. The demon was pulled up like a radish and instantly flew up from the ground, being dragged away.

At the same time, Aunt Hu controlled the other half of Chang Fenghai's body, her sharp fox claws piercing towards the demon's heart, displaying the unparalleled power of a demon immortal at this moment.

The demon's chest was instantly struck by Hu Taigu's sharp claws, which pierced into his chest along with the roots.

Everything went incredibly smoothly, which was unexpected. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been so easy to kill a demon with the strength of a first-grade cultivator.

“It’s a fake body.” At that moment, Mangqiu Liu said calmly.

As expected, the demon's figure, pierced in the chest by sharp claws, slowly dissipated, vanishing from the spot like a shattered phantom.

The real demon appeared in another place, a dozen feet away.

“Interesting, very interesting. It seems that getting you to take action is far more interesting than running away. You are a qualified prey.” The demon’s hands were bulging with veins, and his arms bulged instantly, like a humanoid ape, as he swiftly swung the flying sickle chain in his hands.

call out!call out!call out!call out!

The flying scythe was like a whirlwind, cracking the ground and creating a deep ravine. The demon swung it with all his might, and the flying scythe shot out like lightning, arriving in front of Chang Fenghai in the blink of an eye.

Upon close inspection, traces of wind flow could even be seen on the surface of the flying sickle, demonstrating just how fast it was moving.

Chang Fenghai's snake scales merged together without leaving a single gap, immediately activating a defensive stance.

In this state, he could perfectly withstand even the attacks of a first-rank expert without worrying about his life being threatened.

But something unexpected happened to Chang Fenghai. The flying sickle inexplicably passed through his body, through his chest, and came behind him. Then it quickly circled around Chang Fenghai's body and tied him up on the spot.

"Come back!" The demon chuckled evilly and yanked, instantly straightening the originally bent iron chain before quickly retracting it.

Chang Fenghai's body uncontrollably shrank back along with the flying sickle.

"What incredible strength! Where did he unleash it?" Chang Fenghai exclaimed in shock.

Judging from the previous encounters, this demon should not be a strength-type character. Judging from the weapon he uses, he should be an agile type.

But now, the opponent's strength far exceeds his own, which would be impossible under normal circumstances.

“Mangqiu Liu, one of his wronged souls is missing.” Aunt Hu, who hadn’t said much until now, suddenly spoke up to remind him.

Originally, the demon was always followed by three vengeful spirits, but now only two remain, one of which has disappeared.

This detail makes one wonder if the sudden surge in the demon's power is related to this.

"Assist me. I'll take the lead, and you'll provide support," Mangqiu Liu whispered a reminder.

"Okay." As soon as Aunt Hu agreed, Chang Fenghai's eyes changed instantly. A ghostly green light shone in his eyes, and his pupils, which were normally human, turned into beast eyes.

Open your eyes!

The moment her pupils changed, the world in Aunt Hu's eyes instantly transformed, and the threads of the world quietly and clearly emerged.

The depths of the earth, the direction of the wind, and even... the trajectory of the opponent's actions.

Within the demon's body, a wisp of a vicious and vengeful spirit with thick eyebrows and large eyes was clearly revealed.

This vengeful spirit connected to all the major meridians in the demon's body, and at the same time stimulated the heartbeat, making the demon's heart beat more than ten times faster than a normal person's.

This is the key reason why the sorcerer's strength suddenly surges.

"Something's strange. Let's finish this quickly," Aunt Hu thought to herself. "His strength has increased, but his leg speed should decrease as a result. Attack his flank."

Chang Fenghai moved instantly, his movements as agile and swift as a snake or python. In just a few blinks, he had already arrived at the left side of the demon's body.

kill!

He brought his palms together and thrust them out quickly. A black python even appeared in the air, and Chang Fenghai's palms were the sharp teeth of this black python.

Noisy!

Chang Fenghai effortlessly pierced the demon's body with both palms, and black blood gushed out, splattering everywhere.

A dark gust of wind swept over his head, startling Chang Fenghai. He tried to escape, but it was too late. The demon's other flying scythe appeared silently and struck Chang Fenghai's shoulder.

Even with snake scales protecting him, he was still slashed so deeply by the flying scythe that the bone was visible. If he had hesitated even a little longer, his entire arm would have been severed.

The iron chains swayed, binding Chang Fenghai's legs. With a tug, he was thrown to the ground. Then, ignoring the pain in his waist, the demon forcefully swung out a flying scythe, intending to take Chang Fenghai's head.
