The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

The dark blood snake’s large body shuddered and curled up. It slowly inched backwards at an imperceptible pace.

However…

its escape plan naturally did not escape Ji Fengyan’s eyes.

“A bully? Beasts are all the same.” The corner of Ji Fengyan’s mouth curled up as she looked at the cowed dark blood snake. She did not intend to let it escape.

She had no previous interactions with the Demon Clan, but she had heard much about them.

They fed on human flesh and were violent and bloodthirsty. The Demon Clan had massacred many villages that bordered the empire. The bones that remained from the Demon Clan’s feasts could be piled into mountains. Newborns were a favorite of the Demon Clan. They stole into houses at night to chew and swallow infants in their swaddling cloths.

These fiends were heartless and killed rampantly.

To eradicate this evil, the demons had to be killed!

Ji Fengyan silently recited the dictates of her masters. Then she raised her sword and leapt, charging towards the dark blood snake that was planning to escape!

In an instant, she switched from defense to offense!

The dark blood snake had never dreamt that a weak-looking human girl would defeat it. It frantically crawled away with none of its previous aggressiveness!

Everyone gaped. They could barely believe their eyes when they saw Ji Fengyan pursue the dark blood snake and attack it relentlessly.

A third-level demon could only be fought by activating the World-Termination-Armour.

But Ji Fengyan…

had forced it into a desperate situation by herself, with a single sword.

The dark blood snake knew it was no match for her. It could retreat no longer, but its eyes glanced at the lake beside it. It swiftly slithered towards the peaceful lake!

“Where are you running to?” Ji Fengyan’s voice sounded.

When the dark blood snake turned, it saw that Ji Fengyan was near. In shock, it hurtled towards the lake. It raised its head and was about to dive into the water to hide!

However…

In the instant before the dark blood snake entered the water, an elegant figure flew towards its head.

The evil-vanquishing sword reflected the sun’s rays. Filled with Ji Fengyan’s vital energy, it struck from above and pierced the dark blood snake’s head!

Poof!

The sound of skin, bone, blood and flesh being pierced blasted everyone’s eardrums! A cold gleam sank into the dark blood snake’s head. The evil-vanquishing sword glittered with cold light as it passed through the dark blood snake’s body. Ji Fengyan let go of it. With lightning speed, both her hands performed a mudra in front of her chest. The moment her two blood-stained fingers met, the evil-vanquishing sword that had sunk into the dark blood snake’s body emitted rays of light. The light shone from within the dark blood snake and illuminated its entire body.

Ji Fengyan manipulated her two fingers. Starting at its head, and the glowing evil-vanquishing sword cleaved through the dark blood snake’s body, before it suddenly broke out through its abdomen!

The evil-vanquishing sword hung in mid-air, stained with black blood. As Ji Fengyan’s two fingers turned, the black blood was absorbed drop by drop into the sword body.

The evil-vanquishing sword returned to her hand!

In an instant, the dark blood snake’s large head crashed into the water, causing the water to spray.

In the end, it had not avoided disaster by hiding in the lake. Instead, it was killed by the lake.

The snake’s head sank into the water, but its tail that was covered with wounds remained on the shore.

Everything…

At that moment, the dust settled. Ji Fengyan gripped her sword and slung it onto her back. She lightly jumped from the dark blood snake’s head that was floating on the surface of the water. Her figure slowly drifted down to the grass on the shore.

Until that moment, all the youths by the lake were still in a trance.

As they looked at the dark blood snake that was half submerged in the water, it all seemed as illusory as a dream.
