What If I Can't Die?

294 Demon Slayer Perfected Lord

With the Black Snake Demon Venerable captured, the experts of the Black Snake lineage could only retreat unwillingly. The surroundings of the underground palace quickly quietened down.

A few days later, a powerful aura surged out of the underground palace. It lasted for a moment before slowly converging. Bai Yu’er had successfully broken through to the late-stage Soul Transformation realm.

Half a day later, a teleportation door appeared outside. Song Shi walked out, followed by two people, one black and one white. The three of them stopped in midair for a moment before disappearing.

The flames of war raged in Qian Kingdom’s Nether City.

Ever since the Qian cultivator army destroyed the headquarters of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, a top faction in the Nether City, more than half a year ago, the ordinary army had also begun to suppress the rebellion on a large scale. The war had reached its most intense stage.

Above the ruins of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, dark clouds covered the sky. Song Shi appeared in the clouds on a flying ship.

Behind him stood the Black and White Snake Demons.

Black Evil’s clothes and skin turned black and he had a gloomy expression. It was the Black Snake, who had yet to accept his fate.

The White Snake Demon was naturally Bai Yu’er. She was sticking so close to Song Shi that people would have thought that she was Song Shi’s woman.

Song Shi took a sip of the wisdom tea brewed by Bai Yu’er. His gaze landed on the broken ghost pit on the ground. Many of the originally thick chains had been broken.

However, in the depths of the ghost pit, there was still ghost fog pervading the air, and wild shrieks and howls could be heard.

“It seems that they have not been completely destroyed. They must have retreated to the Spirit Land.”

Song Shi was deep in thought. The Heavenly Ghost Sect had a special space like the Spirit Land where they could hide. Hence their defense was top notch

Hence although it was easy for the Qian Dragon Army to destroy the buildings on the ground, it was difficult for them to chase down the Heavenly Ghost Sect cultivators who had hidden in the Spirit Land.

“Young Master, are you going to help the Heavenly Ghost Sect?”

Bai Yu’er asked. In the past few days, she had called Song Shi a Perfected Lord Martial Emperor a few times. He did not seem to like it and asked her to call him Young Master.

“I naturally have to do what I promised. Moreover, with you both the Black and White Snake Demons around, interfering in this matter is nothing.”

Song Shi smiled faintly. Even if he did not make a move, with the two Great Demon Venerables around, would Great Qian be able to completely destroy Heavenly Ghost Sect?

“Young Master, there’s no need for us to deal with this group of trash.”

The Black Snake was disdainful. In fact, he had yet to accept reality and did not want to show his face.

Otherwise, everyone would know that he had become a subordinate of a Human.

“What are you saying? If we don’t make a move, are we going to let Young Master do it?”

Bai Yu’er said coldly.

“Alright, I’ll naturally settle the matter I promised. You guys are in charge of doing the odd jobs.”

Song Shi waved his hand. After he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he did not have the comprehension of the Soul Transformation realm to use directly. He still needed to fight to increase his experience and strength. Otherwise, it would not be enough to sit still and rely on his current Comprehension.

He observed the periphery of the ghost pit. A group of cultivators in armor were hiding and surrounding the place, but they were also guarding against the outside.

“Interesting. They seem to be waiting for something. Are they waiting for something to happen?”

Song Shi muttered and continued to investigate the nearby situation. The army that besieged the Heavenly Ghost Sect was stationed not far away. The strongest was at the Nascent Soul Martial Emperor level.

It seemed that the top experts were inferior to them, but these cultivator armies could form a battle formation. If they really fought, even Soul Transformations would have to retreat.

“I’ll go down and take a look.”

Song Shi walked out of the cloud and used Divine Teleportation Footwork. In the blink of an eye, he landed at the edge of the ghost pit.

The huge crack in the ghost pit caused by the battle was like a canyon. A few invisible cultivator soldiers were chatting.

“Will the rabbits come again? We caught a few last time. I don’t think they’ll be around anymore, right?”

“Why do you care if they come or not? Even if they don’t come, we have to guard this place so that the ghost things inside can’t come out and cause trouble.”

“I don’t think they dare to come out. Perfected Lord Demon Slayer is guarding this place. If they come out, we’ll smash them to death.”

Song Shi overheard the discussion and fell into deep thought.

Were these people waiting for Lu Youyou and the others? It sounded like someone had already invaded the ghost pit. Were these guys planning to save the people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect or invade the Spirit Land?

He retracted his aura and drew an Invisibility Talisman on his body.

This was the power of the Heavenly Talisman Technique. Ordinary talismans could be casually conjured from afar or drawn on one’s body with it.

In fact, because his body was strong, the talismans he drew were more suitable than the talismans formed out of thin air, so it was very convenient.

As the Invisibility Talisman took effect, the surrounding light distorted and he disappeared into thin air.

He came to the ghost pit and took a closer look. A portion of the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s array had already been broken, and another set of Array Formations had been set up in the depths. Anyone who rashly went over would be blocked by the Array Formation.

He could break it himself, but it would take some time. There had to be no powerhouses guarding nearby.

After quickly keeping the situation in mind, Song Shi walked invisibly in an orderly manner. This time, he didn’t rush over brainlessly to posture just because he couldn’t die. Instead, he first investigated the situation. He thought that he had improved a lot.

He turned around and went to his cave abode in the sect. It had also been broken through and Bai Xiaoqin was nowhere to be found.

With what he had left behind, Bai Xiaoqin should not die.

Looking at the dilapidated house, Song Shi sighed in his heart, “Sigh, it’s so difficult to find a place to stay peacefully. I haven’t lived here for long, but it’s already been wiped out.”

Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had changed several places of residence. One was the Song Residence, where he grew up, and the other was the Yao Moon Palace, where he had only stayed for a few days. The nearest residence was here, and it seemed that he could not stay any longer.

Just as he was considering whether he could contact Lu Youyou and the others, a battle suddenly broke out in the distance. Someone shouted excitedly, “The rabbits are here!”

A group of people immediately jumped out of the seemingly empty ruins and surrounded a few figures.

“Not good, they have an ambush. Retreat first!”

When Perfected Lord Ghost Fiend saw this, he knew that they were waiting for them. He hurriedly held his Dharma treasures and broke through the encirclement, wanting to escape.

Crack! Crack!

In the distance, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. A golden demon subduing pestle descended from the sky and smashed into the evil spirit’s magical treasure with a honglong sound. It stabbed into the ground, and the power of lightning filled the air, blocking the few of them.

“Amitabha, please stay. I’ll redeem you.”

A burly monk flew out from afar. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a ring scar on his head. The power of lightning flickered on his golden skin, making him look like an angry Vajra.

Gui Sha’s expression changed, and he sped up, “Perfected Lord Demon Slayer, why are you so dedicated to your work?”

“It’s our duty to eliminate demons and uphold justice.”

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer pressed his palms together,and a bunch of cultivators holding weapons appeared behind him, blocking the path of the Heavenly Ghost sect cultivators.

There were also cultivators lying in ambush in the ghost pit who rushed out and surrounded them in the blink of an eye.

“These people have sinned greatly. Send them to hell.”

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer’s eyes flashed with killing intent. He grabbed the Demon Subduing Pole and threw it at Ghost Fiend.

The battle broke out on the spot. The cultivators who had been prepared for it cooperated seamlessly. In just one round, they blasted the evil spirit and the others until they vomited blood. They were no match for them at all.

“Damn it, it’s been half a year. Why are they still guarding here?!”

Ghost Fiend was the least injured, but he could see how dangerous the situation was. Even he might not be able to escape today.

Just as they were in despair, a sun descended from the sky and exploded on Perfected Lord Demon Slayer’s head with a bang, sending him flying and instantly breaking the siege.

“Perfected Lord Demon Slayer, right? Take a rest today. I have something to discuss with them.”

Song Shi’s voice echoed.
