It turns out that imperfection is also a kind of beauty. No wonder Venus looks like that. Xiang Xueer smiled as she gazed at Liancheng Xue'er's face, with her high nose bridge, elongated facial features, slightly weathered eyes, and especially those thin lips—truly a feast for the eyes.
"Shirley!" A voice from beside her brought her back to reality. She quickly stood up and looked at the weary figure of Lan Ran Qingtian, asking, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Qingtian nodded, "I found that Ten Thousand Ghosts. Although I severely injured it, it still managed to escape!"
"Oh, you're talking about that Ten Thousand Ghosts? Don't worry, I've already sent that guy to report to the King of Hell!" Xiang Xueer smiled at Qingtian and reached into her bag to pull out a rib bone, handing it to him. "I also encountered Thousand Demons, but it escaped too. This is a souvenir!"
"Ah?" Lan Ran Qingtian stared at the rib bone for a long time before finally understanding. "That's great! Since we've temporarily stopped them from collecting Exorcists, our next step should be to rescue Brother Li!"
"Yes!" Xiang Xueer nodded and then turned to look at the giant meteorite next to Lian Cheng Xue, asking, "Will that tool made from Thousand-Year Mysterious Iron be ready by tomorrow night?"
Lian Cheng Xue put down the Weapon Sword Manual in her hands and nodded. "Don't worry; I've got this covered!"
Xiang Xueer crossed her arms in front of her chest. "What I'm most worried about now is Li Yunyang's safety. That idiot better not get into any trouble before we go to save him!"
At the same time, in the cave where Li Yunyang was imprisoned, footsteps echoed as Thousand Demons stormed in with a whip tightly gripped in his hand, filled with rage.
Li Yunyang was sitting on the ground meditating. Hearing the noise, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the furious figure before him. He smiled and said, "What's wrong, Bakemono? You look like you've been bullied. Did someone give you a hard time again?"
Upon hearing this, Thousand Demons immediately became enraged and slammed the black snake whip onto the ground. The loud cracking sound echoed sharply: "Damn Exorcist! I am Thousand Demons, not Bakemono! That little Exorcist girl killed my third brother; I want to kill you!"
He turned to glare at Little Goblin beside him and shouted, "Open the cage for me! I want to skin this guy alive and gut him right now!"
"No way, Second Master!" Little Goblin trembled as he replied. "This assassin is extremely vicious; last time he even knocked out the General! We can't let him out!"
Li Yunyang burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Haha, that's hilarious! That coward Duck was scared to death by me!"
"What great general? I don't care about that!" Thousand Demons frowned, furious. He walked directly to the mechanism's button and pressed it several times with force, but the cage remained motionless, showing no signs of opening.
"What the hell is this cage?" Thousand Demons slapped it a few times before remembering that this cage was made of Thousand-Year Mysterious Iron, and once the mechanism was activated, it couldn't be opened at all.
His angry face twitched rapidly as he quickly approached Li Yunyang. With a swing of his whip, it moved like a Giant Snake, slipping through the gaps of the iron cage and tightly wrapping around his neck. "Hmph! Do you think I can't deal with you just because you're in the cage?"
"Cough cough cough!" Li Yunyang desperately covered his neck, trying to pull off the snake-like whip. However, the whip was even more powerful than a snake, tightly coiling around his neck and getting tighter, almost cutting off his breath.
"I will use your blood to honor my third brother!" Thousand Demons quickly tightened the whip, pulling Li Yunyang from inside the cage to stand before him. Then he broke off one of his own ribs, pointing the bone spur directly at Li Yunyang's eyes. "I'll gouge out your eyes and make wine with them!"
That bastard! Li Yunyang glared at Thousand Demons in front of him and spat a mouthful of saliva at its face, shouting, "Damn demon, you think you can gouge out my eyes? In your dreams!"
As he spoke, he reached for the Azure Dragon Sword lying by his feet, lifted it, and thrust it through the cage towards Thousand Demons. With a 'thud', it pierced through the white cloak.
"Ah!" Thousand Demons covered its eyes; the spit made it unable to open them. As it wiped its face, it suddenly felt something was wrong with its body. Looking down, it saw that the Azure Dragon Sword had pierced through its body and was protruding from its back.
"Hehehe!" Li Yunyang laughed triumphantly. He thought he had dealt with Thousand Demons, but then he remembered that this creature had no flesh or internal organs—just a skeleton. It removed its cloak just in time for the Azure Dragon Sword to pass through the gaps between its ribs without harming Thousand Demons at all.
No way! Li Yunyang quickly stopped smiling; he had underestimated it. The face of Thousand Demons twitched again; its already expressionless face looked even more lifeless as it tightened its grip around his neck. "You little brat, I'll kill you!"
"Wow!" Li Yunyang shouted in panic; this bastard was going to strangle him! His neck felt like it was about to snap as his face pressed against the cage, nearly suffocating him. He swung the Azure Dragon Sword with all his might and shouted angrily, "Azure Dragon Slash!"
It seemed that this time he had to give it his all. With a twist of the sword, he struck at the whip coiling around his neck. With a loud 'crack', the serpent whip that was tightly constricting his neck split in two. He quickly removed the binding from his neck and gasped for breath, "Oh my God, I almost died!"
Thousand Demons glared at the half of the whip in his hand, seething with anger, secretly cursing: This assassin is indeed stubborn; he couldn't even be killed by a whip. However, since he couldn't break through the cage door, he pointed at Li Yunyang's face and shouted, "Hmph, even if I can't kill you now, it doesn't matter. I'll let you enjoy one more day; tomorrow at this time will be your death date!"
"What?" Li Yunyang was startled by this statement: "No way, have you already gathered a hundred Exorcist?"
"Hmm?" Thousand Demons couldn't help but sneer: "Exorcist is just not part of our plan. The fifteenth day of July, when the gates of hell open wide, will be your human's day of mourning!"
What? Li Yunyang broke out in a cold sweat; isn't the fifteenth of July tomorrow? Tomorrow is Zhongyuan Festival. He jumped up and shouted, "Hey, Thousand Demons, the gates of hell opening? What kind of scheme are these guys plotting?"
"Hahahaha!" Thousand Demons threw back its head and laughed wildly, the entire cave echoing with its piercing laughter. With a sinister expression filled with evil coldness, it trembled as it walked toward the cave entrance: "We will wash away humanity with blood; from now on, only the monsters of Duckbill Mountain will remain here—no humans!"
Li Yunyang stood frozen in place, his mind buzzing. What does it mean to wash away humanity? What are these bastards planning to do? Suddenly, he recalled the Exorcism Village that had been slaughtered. Could it be?
"Oh no, Dead Girl, where are you guys? Something big is about to happen!" Li Yunyang anxiously punched a metal pillar. Damn it, if only he could get out.
The swirling crimson river and the broken bridge swaying in the wind appeared before the black tower. A small figure emerged in front of it, and a mass of Thorns suddenly surged towards him. He quickly stepped back, and Blue Eyes pointed at the ground before kneeling on one knee.
Inside the black giant tower, a pair of Red Eyes suddenly opened wide, their pupils rapidly narrowing into thin lines. A low and sinister voice emanated from within the tower: "Heart Demon, what is it?"
"Reporting to Demon Lord, there seems to be some minor movements over at Duckbill Mountain!” Heart Demon slowly raised its head: “They are collecting the souls of Exorcist, seemingly trying to summon that guy!"
