Immortality by Merit and Sin Coins

Chapter 166: Chapter 105: Whose Moon Are You Devouring?

RUSTLE.

Monkey froze.

He stared intently at the somewhat slender figure ahead, his eyes widening as a brilliant light began to glow in his pupils.

The lad’s reed-thin body began to tremble violently with excitement, as if a breath had shot up from his gut to his chest and surged into his throat.

”AWOOOO!!”

The sudden howl snapped all the Little Demons back to their senses.

This time, however, they didn’t scold Monkey, for his cry had also vented the shock they all felt.

The Little Demons already knew that it was Brother Lin who had come from the mountain to save them at the White Teeth Mine, slaying two Immortal Descendants.

But he had used a Divine Soul Illusion Technique to conceal his presence, showing no intention of revealing his true form from start to finish.

Yet now, he had appeared in the valley without any disguise.

Standing right before the group of Demon-slaying Bureau Captains!

”Who said... there was no Demon General...”

Brother Lin’s recent words still echoed in their ears.

The Little Demons looked up at the great banner again. On the wildly unfurling blood-red flag, the two words ”Moon-Devouring” appeared even more ferocious.

This Demon Banner had finally awaited its master.

From this day on, it was no longer a fabricated, false title, but a real and true demon’s name!

”We greet the Moon-Devouring Demon General! We swear to follow the Demon General and fight to the death!”

Monkey roared, veins bulging on his forehead. With a sudden exertion of his arms, he drove the great banner deep into the ground.

He abruptly drew his Demon Slaying Saber, its cold, glinting blade catching the eyes of several Captains.

”We swear to follow the Demon General and fight to the death!”

The Little Demons bellowed at the top of their lungs.

Their strength was not weak to begin with.

Especially after the resources exchanged for the Immortal Descendants’ corpses were distributed. Besides Gu Nanzhi, even the weakest among them, Baldy, had advanced from the Mid-stage Jade Liquid to the Late-stage.

Coupled with the empowerment from their Demon Slaying Sabers and numerous Immortal Talismans.

Seeing their current murderous aura...

...the surrounding Demon-slaying Captains suddenly felt things were becoming tricky. They waved their sleeves repeatedly, causing the Heaven and Earth Net woven from Demon-Binding Ropes to tighten further.

These black ropes were like swords. As light flowed along them, they sealed off the vital energy within, suppressing the surging Demon Power once more.

”It’s you... You’re a Demon General?”

Their eyes narrowed as they quickly recognized that fair and handsome face.

The last time they saw him, the young man had been sitting in an inn, leisurely eating congee and side dishes, and had caused their Vice General to lose face.

It wasn’t just the Captains who were astonished.

Among the demons, Lu Yun was already speechless. He almost couldn’t stop himself from letting out a strange cry like Monkey.

Just that morning, he had been lamenting, wondering if he would survive this venture, when he would ever see Senior Brother Lin again, and if he’d ever get the chance to repay him for saving his life.

And then he saw him that very evening.

Moreover, the man had transformed from a renowned Immortal Disciple of the Yu Family into a Demon General capable of revitalizing the morale of countless Demons!

”Senior Sister Xie, what are our chances of winning now?” Monkey gripped his saber tightly, having already picked his target, just waiting for the Demon General’s order to charge.

”One hundred percent.” Xie Yutang pressed her lips together, looking at the figure standing before her.

That was usually the position she was supposed to occupy, but now, it had finally been taken by someone else.

’With Brother Lin’s methods, supplemented by my Sword Formulas...’

’The Little Demons can tie up that group of Captains, as long as we don’t let them use their Array techniques.’

’Not only is victory certain...’

’Even killing a Core Formation expert while being in a lower realm is not just a fool’s dream.’

BZZT.

Hearing this, the Demon Slaying Saber in Gong Yue’s hand suddenly began to vibrate slightly.

His surprise stemmed from the young man’s familiar face, and the strange Light Body Technique from a moment ago.

But at the end of the day...

The man finally broke into a savage grin, finding this utterly fascinating. ”They’re all so excited, going on about some Demon General, but you... aren’t you still just in the Foundation Establishment Stage?!”

As he spoke, he slammed his palm down.

The Sword Ropes that filled the sky instantly erupted. The Heaven and Earth Net, carrying an irresistible momentum, descended directly upon the cyan figure.

Xie Yutang silently calculated her own Spiritual Power.

’If I disregard the cost, I can use a total of three sword strikes.’

’If I save two for killing blows, I should be able to spare one to break the ropes.’

However, the moment she looked up, her expression suddenly changed.

She saw Lin Shu actually take a step forward, walking right towards the Heaven and Earth Net.

Dozens of Sword Ropes surging with Spiritual Light crisscrossed to block all his paths. If one were bound by this thing, even a true Demon General would have their Demon Power sealed, left to the mercy of their captors.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Lin Shu reached out his arm. The instant before the snake-like Sword Rope could coil around him, he grabbed it first.

His long, slender fingers suddenly clenched.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted into chaotic turmoil. The Captains’ pupils constricted as the sound of ripping cloth, ”RRRRIP,” echoed in their ears.

The Heaven and Earth Net, which had always been invincible against Demons, was actually torn apart by sheer force!

Under that pair of flesh-and-blood hands, the dozens of Sword Ropes quickly lost their Spiritual Light, resembling a broken net.

Watching Lin Shu calmly step past the scattered Sword Ropes.

The experienced Captains reacted instantly, shouting, ”A Body Tempering Demon General! Switch to the Demon-Suppressing Bells!”

However, before they could take out the Bells that specifically targeted the Divine Soul...

...the young man’s figure had already vanished from his spot.

Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol.

Within this Demon Mountain, he was the Mountain God.

HISS!

Gong Yue’s eyes narrowed, a trace of panic finally appearing in them.

’What kind of Light Body Technique is this? My Spiritual Power is spread all around, yet I can’t detect the slightest trace of him.’

In an instant, an icy chill suddenly brushed against the back of his neck.

At the same time, the hand that had torn apart the Demon-Binding Ropes had already landed silently on his back.
