The lizard demon was filled with dread; if it were hit, it would surely die.
At that critical moment, it abruptly shifted its body.
My sword grazed its face and struck its shoulder instead.
Blue blood splattered out.
The lizard demon let out wails of pain.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a powerful demonic energy erupted from its entire body.
With a "buzz," it pulsed towards me and Old Mo.
The close proximity between Old Mo and me meant we were pushed back two meters by this demonic aura.
The lizard demon clutched its injured shoulder, glaring at us with venomous eyes, white steam puffing from its nostrils.
It let out low growls from its mouth.
However, our gaze was fixed on its blue blood.
Generally, when beasts begin their cultivation, their blood is red.
As their cultivation deepens, their demonic blood turns green.
For instance, the Nine-Lives Corpse Cat’s blood is green.
But what was this blue blood?
Not only were Old Mo and I surprised, but even our Uncle-Master, who was not far away, looked astonished.
He directly put down the small wine gourd in his hand and gazed at us with a hint of surprise.
"Huh? Why is it blue!"
In his surprise,
The lizard demon’s body suddenly flickered, wavering and flashing.
Some parts of its body even became transparent during these flashes.
Seeing this, my face changed dramatically.
Demons have innate abilities.
For example, foxes naturally possess charm,
With the ability to bewitch others.
And this was a lizard. There are many kinds of lizards.
But this one before us was likely a chameleon; it was attempting to "turn invisible."
With this thought, I quickly shouted:
"Don't hold back, this guy wants to turn invisible."
As I spoke, I unleashed the Qiankun True Method, and my entire body surged with Daoist energy, becoming even more potent.
My strength increased significantly.
Old Mo also snapped back to attention.
He let out a low growl:
"Lightning Magic!"
"Kaka…kka…"
Arcs of electricity danced, starting from his arm and spreading to the peach wood axe.
The peach wood axe, being lightning-struck wood, amplified the electrical arcs, making them larger and brighter, giving them a formidable appearance.
The lizard demon showed fear at this sight.
It accelerated its attempt to become invisible.
My left hand had already formed a seal; I raised it and threw:
"Heaven and Earth Infinite, Qiankun Borrow Power,敕!"
The peach wood sword shot out with a "swoosh," piercing directly towards the demon.
Although the lizard demon turned invisible quickly, my speed was not slow.
A second before it completely vanished, the flying sword struck its left chest.
The lizard demon retreated repeatedly, its body flickering in and out of visibility.
Finally, with a "pop," it was pinned to a tree by my peach wood sword.
"Ah, ah…"
The lizard demon screamed in agony, its blue blood continuously oozing out with a "sizzling" sound…
It raised a claw, trying to pull out my peach wood sword.
Old Mo, meanwhile, charged forward:
"Lightning Axe!"
Old Mo's axe struck the flickering lizard demon directly.
With a "bang" and an explosion of electric arcs,
The tree pinning the lizard demon was instantly covered in electrical arcs.
The tree trunk cracked with a "kacha kacha" sound, emitting black smoke that obscured my vision.
"Did we get it?"
I thought, moving closer rapidly.
But as I approached, I frowned slightly.
Besides the peach wood sword lying on the ground,
And Old Mo, looking angry, there was no sign of the lizard demon.
"Damn it, it escaped!"
Old Mo exclaimed.
I also picked up the peach wood sword and scanned the surroundings:
"It can't escape, it's nearby!"
With its body pierced by me and its shoulder injured, where could it flee?
Our Uncle-Master behind us watched as if observing a play.
He remained silent, standing in his original spot. Apart from the initial surprise at the blue demonic blood,
Nothing else piqued his interest.
"Master, how can we make that demon show itself?"
Old Mo asked, turning back.
In response, Uncle-Master shot him a glare:
"If I told you everything, would that still be called training?
You have five minutes.
If it exceeds five minutes, you'll go run a lap around the Second Ring Road tomorrow."
Upon hearing about running a lap around the Second Ring Road, Old Mo and I felt our legs go numb.
We had undergone special training by Uncle-Master before.
It was said to be to push our physical limits.
That involved running around the Second Ring Road, and it took from morning till night. Just thinking about it made our scalps tingle.
"Master, no!"
Old Mo pleaded with Uncle-Master.
Uncle-Master waved his hand:
"Stop the nonsense!"
Although I feared running the Second Ring Road, I knew very well that
Calmness and rationality were the best ways to solve problems.
Since Uncle-Master was unwilling to give hints, we had to find them ourselves.
Demonic energy still permeated the surroundings.
This indicated the demon was still nearby, not far away.
Uncle-Master was so composed, he must have had the lizard demon locked on and under control, hence his lack of panic.
The lizard demon was injured, with such a large wound, it must be continuously bleeding.
By observing the bloodstains around us, we could find the creature.
I carefully searched the surroundings.
Soon, I found something.
A few bloodstains appeared to my front right.
I walked towards them, holding the peach wood sword:
"Old Mo, over here!"
I called out.
Seeing that I had found something, Old Mo quickly followed.
When Uncle-Master saw us heading in that direction, he appeared to be drinking, but
The corners of his eyes were constantly fixed on us, and he secretly held a yellow talisman in his hand…
As for me, I proceeded cautiously.
Arriving at the location of the bloodstains.
Ahead, another trail of blood appeared.
I followed the bloodstains, guarding against any surprise attacks from the surroundings.
Finally, I stopped before a large blue stone.
The bloodstains ended here.
Old Mo followed behind me, warily scanning left and right.
"Old Qin, the bloodstains stop here."
I gestured for him to be quiet.
The bloodstains ending here meant the lizard demon was somewhere around this spot.
If we couldn't see it, we could hear it.
Now, we could only rely on sound to locate it…
