Yun Qing Zhenren, holding a bamboo staff, was about to engage in a decisive battle with the Nine-Lives Corpse Cat.
The Nine-Lives Corpse Cat stared at Yun Qing Zhenren.
It let out another roar, its entire body lunging forward, charging at Yun Qing Zhenren.
Its four limbs touched the ground, its twin tails swaying.
The speed was so great I couldn't see clearly.
It was significantly stronger than when I last encountered it.
If I had to face it, I probably would have been finished in one exchange.
Yun Qing Zhenren channeled his Dao energy into the bamboo staff, making it rigid.
He thrust the staff out, clashing a claw with the Corpse Cat Demon.
"Boom! Boom!"
The battle qi surged.
Resonating incessantly, ripples of energy continuously vibrated towards us.
The fight was incredibly fierce.
It was a realm completely beyond our current cultivation level.
However, we could still deal with these low-level Corpse Cat monsters.
At this moment, a roar echoed.
A Two-Headed Corpse Cat suddenly lunged at me from my left.
Upon closer inspection, this Two-Headed Corpse Cat was the same one that had spewed yellow mist and escaped previously.
It glared at me with malice and lunged directly at me.
"Seeking death!"
As I spoke, I was about to make my move.
But unexpectedly, Old Mo suddenly rushed out:
"Don't move, leave this fiend to me!"
Old Mo spoke with anger.
As he spoke, he had already charged forward.
He swung a pair of axes down fiercely:
"My Yellow War God was ruined by you."
"Bang! Bang!" In a single exchange, the Corpse Cat was sent flying back by Old Mo.
Old Mo, filled with rage, leaped and growled:
"Thunder Magic, Thunder Axe!"
As he spoke, arcs of electricity danced on his twin axes.
The brightness of the arcs and their quantity were clearly much greater than when he had dealt with the yellow-clothed female ghost last time.
The Corpse Cat was already injured.
Now, facing an enraged Old Mo and his thunder magic, how could it resist?
The Corpse Cat raised its claws to block.
With a "crack," Old Mo severed one of its claws with an axe strike.
The other axe heavily struck the Corpse Cat's other head, which had no eye.
The Corpse Cat let out a miserable cry, its body flying backward.
Old Mo swiftly ran over.
Before the Corpse Cat could stand up, he stomped his foot on its head:
"Fiend, you destroyed my Yellow War God, I will take your life!"
With that, he brought down an axe.
The Corpse Cat could only let out a terrified scream amidst its horror as Old Mo smashed its head.
I was quite aware of Old Mo's combat prowess.
There was no real surprise.
But Yun Xia Gu and Xia Qiu Xi, who were not far away, were inwardly terrified.
Especially when Old Mo unleashed "Thunder Magic. Thunder Axe," they were directly stunned.
They hadn't expected that after only a few months apart.
Old Mo's cultivation had improved so much.
Especially his mastery of thunder magic.
Thunder magic, besides having extremely demanding requirements for spiritual roots,
being able to learn it was already one in ten thousand.
Yet Old Mo not only learned it.
He could also apply thunder magic to magical artifacts, evolving them, which was truly remarkable.
At least, his uncle, an elder, had never achieved this.
This was talent.
Something that time and effort could not compare to, something innate.
On the other side, Xiao Mei was also fighting ferociously.
Her fox claws were continuously reaping the lives of Corpse Cats.
The Fox clan held deep enmity with these Nine-Lives Corpse Cats.
Xiao Mei let out constant "ying ying ying" fox cries, venting her hatred through slaughter.
Yun Xia Gu remained as she always was.
Although very powerful, her power was only slightly higher than ours.
As for Xia Qiu Xi, her strength had also improved.
Her movement technique, in particular, was very swift.
She must have learned some kind of footwork; at any rate, her agility was much greater than when I saw her in the Black Demon Palace.
Her steel needles were launched frequently, making her unpredictable.
As for myself, my cultivation had reached the middle stage of Xuan Dan.
Among the younger generation of the Daoist sect, this was already astonishing enough.
With my cultivation fully unleashed, it was enough to draw the attention of Xia Qiu Xi and Yun Xia Gu...
But I didn't care about that, nor did I pay much attention to these minor Corpse Cats.
Ultimately, these Corpse Cats were not worth mentioning.
I was more focused on closely monitoring the Nine-Lives Corpse Cat.
Its battle with Yun Qing Zhenren was intensely fought.
Yun Qing Zhenren had begun to suppress the Corpse Cat Demon.
But judging by the situation, it might not be killed in a short time.
I began to wonder if I could assist Yun Qing Zhenren.
After all, I possessed long-range attack methods and magical treasures.
The Yin-Yang Treasure Orb was not taken out immediately for precisely this reason.
I intended to catch the Corpse Cat Demon off guard with a sneak attack.
Therefore, I consciously began to move closer to the area where Yun Qing Zhenren and the Corpse Cat Demon were fighting.
The battle continued with incessant sounds of killing.
The ground was already densely littered with hundreds of Corpse Cat corpses.
However, some Corpse Cats sporadically emerged from the depths of the valley.
This kept the number of Corpse Cats hovering around six to seven hundred.
It felt like they could never be killed.
I truly didn't know how many Corpse Cats existed in this valley.
But just then.
Yun Qing Zhenren suddenly unleashed a wind manipulation spell.
Gales swept out, sending the Corpse Cat Demon flying backward, its body inflicted with multiple lacerations, green blood constantly flowing out.
Yun Qing Zhenren seized the opportunity to press his attack, the Corpse Cat Demon passively defending, retreating continuously.
Seeing this, my eyes narrowed.
I knew the opportunity had arrived.
I immediately called out to Old Mo:
"Old Mo, come and block for me!"
As I spoke, I swept aside several Corpse Cats with my sword.
Old Mo didn't hesitate and charged over, shielding me:
"Old Qin, are you planning something?"
A cold smile curved my lips:
"Indeed!"
As I spoke, I had already taken out the Yin-Yang Treasure Orb...
