Chapter 21: Man Butcher!
Actually, from the moment Ji Qing stepped into this courtyard, he had already recognized the Skin-changing Demon.
He was too familiar with the Skin-changing Demon.
So familiar that just a faint scent was enough for him to know that Qian Leishi was a Skin-changing Demon clone.
The Skin-changing Demon’s gaze fell on Ji Qing, a flash of cold intent in her eyes: “Ji Qing, I didn’t expect you to grow to such a level in such a short time? Even the Blood Demon fell into your hands.”
“I originally wanted to trick the Blood Demon into dealing with you, but I didn’t expect this fool to be so useless, getting resealed so quickly.”
Ji Qing was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.
No wonder the Skin-changing Demon was mixed up with the Blood Demon.
So the Skin-changing Demon wanted the Blood Demon to deal with him?
If it weren’t for Chen Luo and his sister, Ji Qing alone against the Blood Demon would probably have meant certain death!
In that moment, Ji Qing’s killing intent grew even stronger.
But the Skin-changing Demon was insidious and cunning; Qian Leishi was just one of her clones, and no one knew where the Skin-changing Demon’s true body was.
“Skin-changing Demon, did you kill the entire Lei Residence?”
Suddenly, Lei Yu nearby couldn’t hold back and spoke up to ask.
“Lei Residence? Oh, looks like there’s a fish that slipped through the net. Tsk tsk tsk, your physical body is quite good. If I could peel off your skin and refine you into a clone…”
“You’re asking for death!”
Lei Yu instantly flew into a rage.
Her massive body charged fiercely in front of Qian Leishi, grabbing Qian Leishi’s neck and hoisting her up forcefully.
The Skin-changing Demon’s face instantly turned bright red, on the verge of suffocating to death.
“Miss Lei, hand her over to me.”
Ji Qing’s words made Lei Yu calm down a bit.
She directly threw Qian Leishi in front of Ji Qing.
The Skin-changing Demon didn’t care at all, instead looking at Ji Qing with venomous resentment, sneering coldly: “Ji Qing, you’ve ruined several of my clones; I’ll remember this grudge!”
“Oh? It seems your clones aren’t infinite after all. Losing one physical body will cause you some degree of damage as well.”
Ji Qing gleaned some information from the Skin-changing Demon’s words.
“So what? You’ll never find my true body. Even if I lose more clones, what of it?”
“Moreover, this time I’ll give you a ‘big gift’. Hahaha…”
The Skin-changing Demon burst into laughter.
“Clang”.
Ji Qing drew his sword.
With one saber slash, the Skin-changing Demon’s head fell to the ground.
The smile on her face instantly froze.
“Killed Skin-changing Demon clone, obtained one origin point.”
Ji Qing obtained one origin point.
But he couldn’t be happy, because the Skin-changing Demon’s “big gift” had already arrived!
Everyone turned abruptly and saw ordinary villagers outside the courtyard, now all with ferocious expressions and red eyes, charging toward Ji Qing and the others.
“What’s going on? Clan Leader, what’s wrong with you?”
Lei Yu saw many acquaintances among these people.
Clearly, they were all villagers from Lei Family Fort.
“They’ve all been controlled by the Skin-changing Demon and turned into her clones.”
Chen Luo said in a deep voice.
“Clones? How can there be so many clones?”
Lei Yu’s eyes widened.
Outside, there were densely packed villagers from Lei Family Fort.
All turned into Skin-changing Demon clones?
The group slowly retreated.
They wanted to escape, but villagers with red eyes surrounded them from all directions; there was no way out.
“Swish”.
Ji Qing drew his sword and killed a villager.
“You killed one skin puppet.”
“Skin puppet?”
Ji Qing focused his attention on the Demon Record.
Sure enough, the page for the Skin-changing Demon in the Demon Record had a new entry.
“Skin Puppet: Low-level puppet controlled by Skin-changing Demon, mindless and fearless in battle. Skin-changing Demon can control large numbers of skin puppets, even forming skin puppet armies to overthrow dynasties and bring calamity to the world!”
Seeing the record in the Demon Record, Ji Qing’s heart sank.
“Bring calamity to the world” was no exaggeration.
With this ability, the Skin-changing Demon could be called a top great demon!
Ji Qing now knew the Skin-changing Demon’s abilities: peeling skin to refine clones, and even forming skin puppet armies.
All these abilities were extremely eerie and powerful.
Compared to the Skin-changing Demon, the Blood Demon was nothing.
More and more skin puppets gathered outside; Ji Qing saw that Lei Yu, Chen Luo, and the others couldn’t bring themselves to strike, since these were ordinary villagers from Lei Family Fort.
Ji Qing spoke up: “They’re all the Skin-changing Demon’s skin puppets. Once turned into skin puppets, they’re mindless and fully controlled by the Skin-changing Demon. They can even form skin puppet armies… They may look alive, but they’re essentially already dead…”
“What?”
Lei Yu’s eyes immediately turned red.
This was the entire Lei Family Fort.
All turned into skin puppets? Equivalent to being wiped out single-handedly by the Skin-changing Demon…
The Skin-changing Demon hadn’t only exterminated the entire Lei Residence but the whole Lei Family Fort!
“Skin-changing Demon, get out here…”
Lei Yu instantly flew into a rage and charged out of the courtyard.
Any skin puppet blocking her way was smashed by Lei Yu.
“Skin puppets… this ability is a scourge on the mortal world! No wonder the demon identification tome ranks the Skin-changing Demon as a top great demon; one Skin-changing Demon alone can bring calamity to the world…”
Chen Luo muttered softly.
He hadn’t paid much attention to the Skin-changing Demon at first.
He thought it was just a lesser demon; even with clone abilities, it wasn’t a big deal.
But the “skin puppet” ability was too terrifying.
It could even form skin puppet armies.
That changed everything.
The Skin-changing Demon’s threat level instantly surpassed the Blood Demon.
Becoming one of the most terrifying demons in the world!
However, the calmest was Ji Qing.
“Whoosh”.
Ji Qing took action.
These people had all become skin puppets, puppets controlled by the Skin-changing Demon, so Ji Qing naturally showed no mercy and no longer saw them as ordinary villagers.
Thus, Ji Qing executed Grass on Flying, weaving through the skin puppets.
Every saber slash felled several skin puppets.
The terror of skin puppets lay in their numbers.
But Ji Qing showed no mercy; for over an hour, he was engaged in “slaughter”.
Finally, the entire Lei Family Fort was awash in blood.
Ji Qing stood amid the blood, with no standing skin puppet in sight.
All the skin puppets in Lei Family Fort were dead.
That was hundreds of skin puppets, equivalent to hundreds of people.
Almost all slaughtered single-handedly by Ji Qing with his saber.
At this moment, whether Lei Yu or Chen Luo and his sister, all felt a chill looking at Ji Qing’s figure.
What was a human butcher?
This was it!
But Ji Qing?
He seemed utterly unaffected.
He even squatted down to wipe the blade clean on a corpse’s clothing.
“Snap”.
Ji Qing sheathed his sword.
“No more skin puppets.”
Ji Qing said indifferently.
Lei Yu and Chen Luo and his sister exchanged glances.
Of course there were no skin puppets.
Ji Qing had gotten into it and even slaughtered Lei Family Fort’s dogs; how could any be left alive?
Lei Yu even felt that Ji Qing being Villain Ranking Eighth was well-deserved, not wronged at all.
With this battle record spreading through the jianghu, Ji Qing’s ranking on the Villain Ranking might even climb higher.
“Chen Luo, does the demon slayer family have any way to find the Skin-changing Demon’s true body?”
Ji Qing suddenly asked.
