As Xiao Mei had said, the weasel spirits put on demon skins of living people just to extract their souls.
This was to enhance their own magical powers and cultivation.
However, absorbing souls would also plunge them into a weakened state.
And that would be the opportune moment for us to strike.
But plans cannot keep up with changes.
Just as we were tensely waiting for those two weasel spirits to make their move.
An unforeseen event occurred precisely at this moment.
A young woman, of unknown origin.
Suddenly emerged from the other end, wielding a peach wood sword.
Upon seeing this, Lao Mo and I both felt our hearts skip a beat.
And inwardly cursed.
The two demons had not fallen into a weakened state.
And striking now was clearly not the opportune moment.
Xiao Mei also frowned, watching vigilantly.
"Damn, what's going on.
Lao Qin, what do we do now?"
Lao Mo asked, his brow furrowed.
I looked at the young woman who had suddenly appeared, my expression grim.
But seeing her holding a peach wood sword, I surmised she was a fellow practitioner.
So I said:
"Let's wait for now, observe the situation."
As we spoke, the two demons preparing to absorb souls also noticed the young woman.
Both weasel spirits were startled, and then revealed ferocious expressions.
One of the demons even spoke in a low voice:
"Who is this busybody!"
The young woman, however, wasted no words.
She leaped forward and thrust her sword:
"Die, demon!"
This sword strike was incredibly fast.
Accompanied by the whistling sound of sword wind.
We could feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy from afar.
This indicated that the young woman's cultivation was not weak.
Perhaps even a notch higher than Lao Mo and mine.
Seeing the opponent attacking directly.
The two weasel spirits roared.
"Ao ao" raising their claws, they met the attack.
In a flash, the woman's peach wood sword directly clashed with the weasel spirits' claws.
With two "bang bang" sounds, neither of the two weasel spirits could withstand it.
They were both repelled by the young woman's two sword strikes.
Seeing this, Lao Mo and I could not help but show astonishment.
In our opinion, the strength of these two weasel spirits was not weak.
Judging by their demonic energy, their cultivation might be comparable to ours.
Yet now, they were repelled by this unknown woman's two sword strikes.
This showed the woman's cultivation...
"Demons, instead of cultivating properly in the mountains, you venture into the city to harm people.
This Taoist nun will ensure you find no peace tonight."
The woman's words were domineering, and she attacked again after speaking.
"Shuashuashua" her sword edge was sharp, her movements incredibly swift.
This swordsmanship put Lao Mo and me to shame.
What was even more astonishing was.
As the woman approached, we saw her face clearly.
The woman was slender, with a curvaceous figure.
Her features were fair and delicate, and she wore her hair in a ponytail.
Holding a peach wood sword, she looked heroic and spirited, creating a unique visual impact.
And in just seven or eight moves.
One weasel spirit let out a scream.
It was directly knocked to the ground by a sword strike, bleeding profusely.
The other weasel spirit, unable to hold on alone, was also destined to be defeated.
"This female Taoist is so cool!"
Lao Mo exclaimed in amazement, his eyes wide as he watched the woman's stunning swordsmanship.
I also did not expect this woman's cultivation to be so high.
I had initially thought her appearance had disrupted our plan.
And might lead to the failure of our demon-catching plan.
But who knew, it was all our overthinking.
This woman's cultivation far surpassed Lao Mo and mine, subduing these two demons with her own strength.
Lao Mo and I watched as the woman's swordsmanship was exceptional.
And the second weasel spirit could not even last ten moves against her.
Finally, it was flipped to the ground by a reverse sword strike from the woman.
Thus, both weasel spirits lay on the ground, unable to rise.
The young woman, with eyes full of fear, struggled to get up and escape.
But the young woman gave no opportunity.
She drew two talismans and waved them at the two demons.
With two "swoosh" sounds, the two talismans flew directly towards them.
And the woman swiftly formed a single-handed sword gesture with her left hand, shouting:
"Subdue!"
The two talismans, hitting their marks precisely, stuck to the chests of the two weasel spirits.
The light of the talismans flickered.
The two struggling weasels were instantly frozen in place.
Seeing this display, Lao Mo and I were even more dumbfounded.
This woman, though appearing young, around our age.
But the professionalism and cultivation abilities she displayed were no weaker than ours, perhaps even much stronger.
It forced Lao Mo and me to look at her with newfound respect.
"Lao Qin, what's this woman's background? Her cultivation seems higher than ours?
She dealt with those two demons in a flash?"
Lao Mo whispered, surprised.
Xiao Mei also tilted her head, observing the woman.
I gave a wry smile, how would I know?
Shrugging my shoulders:
"I don't know her. But it looks like she's a fellow practitioner..."
