Chapter 1684: Chapter 1680: The Demon-Slaying Squad
In such a quiet environment, suddenly hearing such words would probably make anyone’s hair stand on end.
But Xue An merely smiled faintly and softly said, "Alright! What do you want me to play with you?"
"Hehehe, uncle, you’re so nice! Let’s play catch with the ball first!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire corridor suddenly became extremely cold, and right in the middle of the corridor appeared a little boy shrouded in black smoke, with only his face visible.
The little boy’s eyes were deep, pitch-black, grinning at Xue An.
However, what should have been an innocent smile looked bizarre and terrifying on his face.
Xue An remained unmoved, standing there quietly watching.
Meanwhile, the little boy suddenly stretched out his hand, took his head off, and threw it to the ground, using it as a ball.
Thump thump thump.
In the series of dull and monotonous sounds, the boy’s head, bobbing up and down, slowly turned towards Xue An with a smile.
"Uncle, you should play catch just like me!"
Faced with such a terrifying scene that would scare the wits out of most people, there was not a single expression on Xue An’s face.
On the contrary, there was a playful glint in his eyes.
Demon Ghost chaos?
No!
The aura on this Demon Ghost... seems a bit strange!
Seeing Xue An unmoved, a hint of malice appeared in the boy’s eyes, and then blood tears started flowing down from the corners of his eyes.
"Boohoo, uncle, you’re being naughty! Why won’t you play with me! Boohoohoo."
The crying sound, like a magical sound, could shake one’s soul.
Yet Xue An only found it somewhat amusing.
No matter the strength of this Demon Ghost, its intelligence was certainly low!
Despite his lowered aura right now, couldn’t it at least sense something?
At that moment, the little boy saw Xue An still unmoved, growing anxious, and suddenly opened his mouth wide, tearing the corners to his ears, grinning to the back of his head.
Saliva dripped from his mouth full of grotesque teeth, as the boy laughed strangely, "Uncle, why are you so disobedient? If you don’t want to start, I’ll have to help you!"
Saying this, his head suddenly lunged towards Xue An.
Xue An found it utterly ridiculous.
If there were a ranking for ways to die, this Demon Ghost would surely die out of sheer stupidity!
Just as Xue An’s Divine Sense moved, intending to end this laughable Demon Ghost from who knows where.
A clear shout suddenly came from afar.
"Limitless as the heavens and earth, borrowing forces from the cosmos! Demon, why won’t you meet your end!"
With the words came a Fu Guang, charging towards the Demon Ghost with the force of thunder.
The Demon Ghost, shocked, attempted to turn its head in mid-air to flee from Xue An.
But at that moment, the Fu Guang suddenly split into two, then two into four....
In an instant, forming a cage, trapping the Demon Ghost firmly within.
The Demon Ghost shrieked sharply, "Demon Hunters, you bastards...."
Then its head suddenly exploded, sending a multitude of filthy blood scattering in all directions, clearly intending to escape this way.
At that moment, a woman wearing tight leather descended from the heavens, holding a silver revolver, firing several shots at the mass of filthy blood.
Bang bang bang!
The thunderous noise effortlessly shattered the corridor’s silence.
The thick gunpowder scent spread, invigorating the spirit.
And the filthy blood, after being shot several times, wriggled madly, emitting an extremely piercing scream.
"Talisman Bullets... you bastards argh...!"
Saying this, it attempted to lunge towards the woman.
The woman stepped back a half step, unfazed, blowing smoke from the gun barrel.
At this moment, a young Taoist in robes suddenly appeared before the woman, then softly shouted, "Profound sect of heaven and earth, banish demon and quell form!"
With that, he gave a firm shake of his hands, opening a cloth bag and directly stuffing the filthy blood inside.
The cloth bag jolted left and right, accompanied by the faint sounds of furious howls from the Demon Ghost.
"No... you Taoist nose...."
But the young Taoist ignored these, he remained stoic as water, quickly formed seals with his hands, and neatly folded the cloth bag into a square.
Only then did the Demon Ghost’s howls vanish.
Only now did the young Taoist let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Senior Brother, our sect’s training this time is sure to score high!" The woman said excitedly as well.
The young Taoist smiled faintly but did not respond to the woman, instead securing the cloth bag carefully, then looked at Xue An.
Throughout their demon-cleansing process, Xue An had made no move, merely watching with interest.
Yet to the two, he looked as though he had been scared silly.
The woman in leather pants curled her lips, speaking with a condescending tone, "Senior Brother, he’s probably just another mortal seeking thrills, causing trouble everywhere! Let’s not bother with him, we should just leave!"
Upon hearing this, the young Taoist glared at the woman, then bowed to Xue An with a salutation, "Infinite blessings, benefactor, do your injuries still bother you?"
Upon hearing this, Xue An finally withdrew his gaze, smiling and shaking his head.
"Why don’t you speak? Are you mute?" The woman said irritably.
The young Taoist furrowed his brow slightly, "Jing Ping!"
The woman stuck out her tongue, stepped back a bit, glared hard at Xue An, but remained silent.
At this moment, the young Taoist took out an Elixir from his pouch, "Benefactor, this is a Healing Elixir, capable of purging evil and strengthening the body, please accept it!"
Xue An glanced at the Elixir, then casually accepted it.
"Hey, don’t you even know how to say thank you? After all, you were saved by our Demon Slaying Team!" The woman peered out again, speaking harshly.
"Jing Ping, one more word and I won’t let you come out with me anymore!" The young Taoist’s face darkened.
Jing Ping shrank her neck in fear, ceased speaking, but still muttered softly under her breath: "Running around recklessly attracting Demon Ghosts, and now saved by us without even saying thank you! Really...."
The young Taoist gave an apologetic smile to Xue An, "I’m sorry, my junior sister is too young to speak properly, but why does the benefactor appear in such a place? Don’t you know ever since the great upheaval, Demon Ghosts are rampant everywhere?"
Xue An remained silent, instead thoughtfully observing the young Taoist.
Yet the young Taoist thought Xue An kept quiet because he knew he was in the wrong, he sighed softly, "Alright, in the future, benefactor should avoid coming to such dangerous places, this time you were fortunate enough to encounter our Demon Slaying Team to barely escape, but next time the luck may not be this good!"
Then, he gave Xue An a cupped-hand salute, "The demon here is cleansed, benefactor, please leave by yourself! Farewell!"
But just as the siblings were about to turn and leave.
Xue An suddenly chuckled lightly, "Demon Slaying Team? What’s your relation to Zhang Chu of the Heavenly Master Mansion?"
