“Thump, thump, thump…”
The sound of footsteps was approaching us.
I jerked my head towards the entrance of the passage, my face filled with alarm.
My martial uncle and Aunt Yunxia had subdued the sickly yellow demon,
but it wasn't enough. He had to be killed immediately.
Otherwise, there was a risk of exposure.
At the same time, I quickly spoke to Old Mo and Xia Qiu Xi beside me:
"Old Mo, Qiu Xi, clean up these two corpses. I'll go help martial uncle and the others!"
After speaking, I rushed directly towards the bag my martial uncle had placed on the ground.
Inside were my three peach wood swords.
Old Mo and Qiu Xi didn't hesitate at all.
The footsteps continued to approach. Besides killing the demon, they also had to dispose of the corpses here.
The two of them grabbed a corpse each and dragged them towards the water ditch next to the alley.
At this moment, I retrieved my peach wood swords.
The Six-Star Gold Sword and the Seven-Star Fire Sword.
I drew both swords and looked at the demon, who was still fighting with my martial uncle and the others, and then tossed them with my hands.
I clasped my hands together.
With a grim expression, I chanted:
"Heaven and Earth, boundless, Yin and Yang borrow the law, Decree!"
As soon as the words fell, I pointed forward.
The "Decree" character of the True Law of Heaven and Earth.
It could control swords and objects.
In an instant, the two swords flew out with a "swish" and headed straight for the demon's back.
The demon was very agile. Even though I was attacking from behind, he sensed it.
With a sudden flash, he managed to dodge one sword.
But the other sword injured his arm.
It wasn't fatal, just a minor wound.
However, this slight injury created a fatal opening for him.
Aunt Yunxia's expression sank, and a golden sword energy was fiercely swung down.
The demon's face turned golden as he dodged again.
The golden sword energy grazed his face, nearly cleaving his head.
But after dodging that sword, my martial uncle's iron fist landed squarely on the demon's back.
"Bang!"
The demon's spine made a "crack" sound as it snapped.
He flew five meters forward and collapsed on the ground.
He coughed and spat out fresh blood.
Due to the injury on his neck, he was still unable to speak…
Seeing this, I changed my hand seals.
I pointed at the flying swords towards the demon.
The two peach wood swords tilted down and with two "swishes," they precisely pierced the demon's back.
He was nailed to the ground on the spot.
"Little Qin, well done!"
My martial uncle praised.
Aunt Yunxia also nodded at me.
The two elders quickly moved forward.
They confirmed the demon's death and guarded the corpses, preparing to destroy the demon's soul.
In a blink of an eye, the demon's ghost emerged from its deceased body.
As soon as the demon's ghost left its body, it tried to escape.
We were guarding the corpses nearby, how could it escape?
As soon as it poked its head out, it saw Aunt Yunxia raising her long sword.
The demon was terrified, and instinctively raised its head to block:
"No…"
The small sound it uttered was abruptly cut off.
It was decapitated by Aunt Yunxia.
Transforming into a beam of light, it was scattered and annihilated.
All three demons were killed twice, their souls dispersed.
They died completely…
As soon as the demon died, I stepped forward and dragged the corpse towards the sewer nearby.
The footsteps at the alley entrance were getting closer, and we were in increasing danger.
Finally, we managed to deal with the corpses before the footsteps reached us.
At the same time, we lined up, pretending to be ordinary people.
We continued to let Aunt Yunxia and Xia Qiu Xi herd us forward.
The next second, a demon appeared at the alley entrance.
The demon was carrying a saber.
It glanced coldly at us.
Our hearts were pounding, fearing that something would go wrong.
Now, we had nowhere to go. If we panicked, it would be equivalent to exposing ourselves.
We could only brace ourselves and continue to move forward.
But who knew that after we took two steps,
the demon raised its saber and shouted:
"Stop, let us pass first!"
The other party's tone was overbearing and aggressive.
But upon hearing this, we felt no anger, only surprise.
The more the other party was like this, the more it showed that they hadn't noticed anything wrong.
They hadn't realized that there were three demon corpses in the alley ditch.
Aunt Yunxia shook her bell.
Signaling us to stop.
The three of us stopped obediently.
Aunt Yunxia said with a smile:
"Alright!"
As soon as Aunt Yunxia finished speaking, the demon turned its back to us, blocking the alley exit.
Then it shouted to the other side:
"Go, hurry up…"
While shouting, it waved its hand.
Then we heard the sounds of footsteps continuing to approach.
Following that, we saw a group of walking corpses hobbling past us…
These walking corpses were covered in the stench of decay, with many rotten parts and much dirt on them.
They looked exactly like the walking corpses we encountered near the "corpse land" before approaching the demon palace.
There were about twenty of them, groaning "wuwuwu" as they walked forward…
Guarded by seven demon escorts, their direction indicated they were heading towards the corpse ghost heaven fetus in the central part of the demon palace.
Besides them, a group of ordinary ghosts followed the walking corpses.
These ghosts were tied with soul-binding ropes, men and women.
They were crying.
"Is this the Hall of Yama?"
"Wuwuwu, please, let me go home! My dad is rich, my dad is rich!"
"Mom, I miss my mom."
"…"
These twenty to thirty ordinary ghosts walked along, crying.
Then a demon standing nearby, holding a ghost-whipping whip,
with a "snap,"
whipped a ghost:
"Miss your mom! Get moving…"
