Chapter 19: Blood Demon, That’s It?
“Black?”
Ji Qing was also somewhat surprised.
He really didn’t know that his own blood actually carried a trace of black?
“Could it be that I have Demon Slayer bloodline?”
Ji Qing’s gaze turned toward Chen Luo.
“Brother, why does this trace of black in the blood look like demonic energy?”
Chen Lin asked softly.
“Demonic energy?”
Ji Qing’s expression turned serious upon hearing this.
Chen Luo took a deep breath and said gravely, “Brother Ji, what my sister just said is correct. Your blood doesn’t look like Demon Slayer bloodline at all; it’s more like you’ve been hit with some kind of Demonic Arts. Let me examine it carefully.”
Chen Luo then began to carefully examine Ji Qing’s blood.
After a while, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Ji Qing, this trace of black in your blood is indeed from being hit with Demonic Arts, but it should just be Demonic Arts similar to ‘Tracking.’ It’s a mark placed on you by some Demon, so they can pinpoint your location.”
Ji Qing immediately had a guess.
“Skin-changing Demon!”
“It must be the Skin-changing Demon who cast Demonic Arts on me. Is there a way to resolve it?”
“This kind of Demonic Arts is easy to resolve. Brother Ji, please wait patiently for a moment.”
Chen Luo immediately cast some kind of Demon Slayer Magic, and a golden light enveloped Ji Qing.
Immediately, Ji Qing felt a sensation of being “Purified” from the inside out.
Once the golden light disappeared, Ji Qing felt much more relaxed all over his body.
“Brother Ji, check your blood again now.”
Ji Qing squeezed out a drop of blood upon hearing this.
Sure enough, this drop of blood was no longer black but normal blood-red.
The Skin-changing Demon’s Tracking Demonic Arts had already been removed.
Moreover, this also showed that Ji Qing, like Miss Lei, had no Demon Slayer bloodline.
“Brother Ji, for someone to place Tracking Demonic Arts on you means that Skin-changing Demon probably hates you to the bone. You should be careful from now on.”
“Thank you, Brother Chen. But without Demon Slayer bloodline, does that really mean I can’t kill Demons? To be honest, I once killed a Lesser Demon that hadn’t taken human form.”
Ji Qing looked up and asked.
“Actually, you can kill Demons without Demon Slayer bloodline! Most Demons can’t even cast Demonic Arts; they’re just physically strong and can be treated like more powerful wild beasts. But Demons like Blood Demons are different—ordinary Martial Artists who encounter a Blood Demon will undoubtedly die!”
“However, if you reach Grandmaster Realm in the Martial Way, it’s different. A Grandmaster is Innate. Once you achieve Grandmaster, you can achieve Acquired to Innate, like being reborn a second time, completely transforming your Physical Body and dealing massive damage to Demons!”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
Innate Grandmaster?
Even without Demon Slayer bloodline, an Innate Grandmaster can exorcise Demons!
Although a Grandmaster is already a mythical figure in the Jianghu, it is still a hope.
“Brother Chen, both Miss Lei and I have a vendetta of extermination against the Skin-changing Demon. We’ve finally found a trace of the Skin-changing Demon this time, and we absolutely won’t give up!”
Ji Qing’s tone was resolute.
Lei Yu also nodded, her attitude as firm as Ji Qing’s.
“Alright, then we’ll track the Blood Demon together. But after we catch up to the Blood Demon, no matter if the Skin-changing Demon is there or not, you both have to follow my arrangements and not act recklessly.”
“Fine.”
Chen Luo reached an agreement with Ji Qing and Lei Yu.
“Good, then I’ll start casting the spell to track the Blood Demon!”
Chen Luo immediately dripped out a drop of blood and cast a Tracking spell. The four of them followed the Tracking spell in pursuit.
……
Lei Family Fort, Village Chief Lei Changming’s home.
The ground was covered in corpses.
A woman in a long skirt was squatting on the ground peeling skin.
That was Lei Changming’s daughter-in-law Qian Leishi, but now this daughter-in-law was covered in blood, her face showing a eerie smile.
“This skin is flawless and complete—a good skin!”
Qian Leishi placed the human skin on the ground.
On the ground, several complete human skins were already piled up.
“Skin-changing Demon, you’re helping me recover—what exactly do you want me to do?”
Suddenly, a “corpse” spoke.
“Blood Demon, I’ll help you recover, and in return, you kill someone for me. How about it?”
“Who?”
“An ordinary person—or more precisely, a Jianghu Martial Artist. He killed many of my clones and is still searching everywhere for me, sticking like dog-skin plaster that I can’t shake off. You know my clones aren’t strong, so killing him is indeed difficult for me.”
“If you help me kill him, I’ll do everything to help you recover. You know what I can do—I can deliver Blood Food to you continuously without alerting anyone.”
The Blood Demon was silent for a moment, then sneered, “If I hadn’t been sealed by Demon Slayers for so many years, would I need your help to find mere Blood Food?”
“Times have changed, Blood Demon. There are many people who can kill you now. If you go on a rampage looking for Blood Food and alert those Grandmasters in the Jianghu, you’ll be doomed. After all, those Grandmasters are different from Demon Slayers—they won’t seal you; they’ll just slaughter you!”
The Blood Demon closed his eyes.
“Deal!”
The Blood Demon agreed.
“Hee hee, Blood Demon, after eating this Blood Food, let’s leave here first and head to the city—there’ll be more and better Blood Food there…”
The Skin-changing Demon reached out and grabbed, and several skins flew onto several “corpses.”
Immediately, these “corpses” trembled shakily, as if slowly standing up.
“Hm?”
“Damn, Demon Slayers are here…”
The Blood Demon’s expression changed drastically.
He had been sealed by “Demon Slayers” for too long and was all too familiar with their scent.
Even without any Magic.
He could “smell” the Demon Slayers’ scent.
“Buzz.”
Just as the Blood Demon finished speaking, two figures jumped in from outside the door.
“Blood Demon, we’ve finally tracked you down! Today, I will seal you and take you back to the family!”
The speaker was Chen Luo.
Seeing Chen Luo and his sister, the Blood Demon sensed carefully and confirmed there were only two Demon Slayer auras. A smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.
“Heh heh, I thought it was those old coots from the Chen Family. Didn’t expect it to be you two little brats. You think you can catch me?”
The Blood Demon was indeed afraid of Demon Slayers, but he feared the few powerful ones from the Chen Family.
Chen Luo and his sister were still far from that.
“Whoosh.”
The Blood Demon attacked, turning directly into a beam of blood-colored light and charging toward Chen Luo and his sister.
Chen Luo and his sister bit their fingers fiercely, then drew symbols in the Void. A complex seal formed in the Void.
“Demon Sealing Seal, seal!”
The Demon Sealing Seal they drew together was specifically to counter the Blood Demon.
Moreover, with their Demon Slayer bloodline, it could completely suppress the Blood Demon.
This was why the two dared to pursue the Blood Demon.
Once the Demon Sealing Seal was cast, the Blood Demon would surely be sealed.
“Buzz.”
The Demon Sealing Seal instantly sank into the Blood Demon’s body.
The Blood Demon’s figure paused slightly, but he seemed unaffected and charged toward Chen Luo and his sister again.
“What? The Demon Sealing Seal isn’t working?”
Chen Luo’s expression changed drastically.
How could the Demon Sealing Seal not work?
“Protective Golden Light!”
The two immediately cast Protective Golden Light.
Then the light formed by the Blood Demon slammed fiercely into their Protective Golden Light.
“Bang bang.”
Their Protective Golden Light shattered on impact, and the huge impact force sent the two flying heavily backward, crashing to the ground.
Chen Luo finally understood why the Demon Sealing Seal wasn’t working.
“No, the Demon Sealing Seal is working, but even under its Limitation, your Strength is still this terrifying? How did you recover so quickly?”
The Blood Demon was actually very terrifying.
But after being sealed by the Chen Family for many years, his Strength was less than one percent of what it was.
If it were the Blood Demon right after breaking free, Chen Luo and his sister’s Demon Sealing Seal could have completely sealed him.
But now, with the Skin-changing Demon’s help, the Blood Demon had recovered a great deal. Chen Luo and his sister’s Demon Sealing Seal could only seal part of the Blood Demon’s power, unable to fully seal him.
“Hahaha, Demon Slayers are great—Demon Slayer bloodline is a great supplement. If I devour you, my recovery Progress will be even faster!”
The Blood Demon laughed loudly, then opened his blood basin mouth to swallow Chen Luo and his sister in one gulp.
At that moment, a massive figure burst in from outside the door.
“Bang.”
The Great Door was instantly smashed to pieces.
Lei Yu charged into the courtyard like a Meat Mountain.
“Come back.”
Lei Yu reached out with both hands and pulled Chen Luo and his sister behind her, dodging the Blood Demon’s blood basin mouth.
“A mere Jianghu Martial Artist…”
The Blood Demon immediately turned into a beam of blood light and charged toward Lei Yu.
Lei Yu grinned, “You look down on me? Then I’ll let you taste being torn into fragments!”
“Eight-armed Heavenly Maiden!”
With Lei Yu’s soft shout.
Arm shadows seemed to appear in the Void.
Those were afterimages produced by extreme speed.
The Blood Demon had already rushed right up to her at extreme speed, but Lei Yu seemed to really have grown eight arms, her defense airtight. No matter how the Blood Demon assaulted, he couldn’t break through Lei Yu’s eight arms.
Even two of Lei Yu’s arms seized the moment when the Blood Demon’s mind was shaken and grabbed him.
“Heh heh, got you—die for me!”
Lei Yu’s two arms exerted force fiercely.
“Pfft.”
Blood splashed into the air.
The mighty Blood Demon was torn in half by Lei Yu just like that.
“Blood Demon, that’s it?”
Lei Yu tossed him casually, and the Blood Demon’s two halves fell to the ground.
