16: Section 16

“What’s going on? Why are my tranquilizers not working on the snake demon?”

“Liu, quickly stop him.”

“Yes… Lord.”

Liu Ke threw a bag of Transformation Pills to Han Cangfeng, then forcefully hugged Xiao Bai’s tail, buying Han Cangfeng more time to escape.

“Lord, run! I’ll hold him off.”

Liu Ke drew his Demon Slaying Sword and plunged it into Xiao Bai’s body. The Demon Suppression Agency had nine such swords in total, rumored to have been forged by an Immortal from an island.

Emperor Kun had purchased them at a high price and given them all to the Demon Suppression Agency; they possessed an extremely strong defense-breaking ability against Yao Beasts.

The Demon Slaying Sword pierced into Xiao Bai’s tough scales, and blood gushed out. He quickly thrashed his tail and swallowed Liu Ke whole.

“Seeking death!”

After dealing with Liu Ke, Xiao Bai continued to pursue Han Cangfeng.

Those Transformation Pills weren't that important, but Tu Shan You You had been abducted by him, which Xiao Bai could not accept.

The distance between them had already widened. Han Cangfeng was almost equal in strength to Xiao Bai, and his speed while flying on his sword was not slow at all.

The two maintained a distance of several tens of meters, heading straight for the Da Kun Demon Suppression Agency.

“Damn it, this bastard’s escape speed is quite fast.”

Xiao Bai spat out a viscous liquid to attack Han Cangfeng, but he dodged it several times.

After a high-speed chase in the air, they were about to enter the Da Kun Dynasty’s border.

Xiao Bai’s heart skipped a beat: “I might encounter powerful Cultivators ahead. Do I still need to chase him?”

Then he shook his head: “That’s Fox Spirit Matchmaker! The successor of the Tu Shan Clan! I definitely have to save her.”

In the depths of his being, Xiao Bai felt that Tu Shan You You was very important to him. It wasn't just because she was beautiful and had a good figure; more importantly, the Tu Shan Clan held too many secrets.

Even when he was just an ordinary small snake, he had heard other snakes discuss the deeds of the Fox Spirit Tu Shan Clan. They and the Azure Hill White Foxes were both descendants of the Nine-tailed Fox Demon.

Under the leadership of the Old Clan Leader Tu Shan Mingyi, they had lived in seclusion in Tu Shan Village for tens of thousands of years, rarely meddling in the affairs of the Monster Realm.

Han Cangfeng turned back and sneered at Xiao Bai: “Stinky snake, still chasing? I’m almost at the Demon Suppression Agency.”

“Once I cross the Xuan River, I’ll be completely safe. Yao Beasts will have their cultivation greatly reduced if they cross the river.”

“Damn it, who are you trying to scare?”

Xiao Bai cursed and flew across the Xuan River. As a Transmigrator, how could he tolerate such provocation? Plus, with his System, he vowed to kill this pretentious guy in front of him.

Above the Xuan River, steam could still faintly be seen rising. Any Yao Beast that was 'baptized' by the steam would have their cultivation greatly reduced.

Any low-Rank soldier from the Demon Suppression Agency could capture them, but these effects seemed to have no impact on Xiao Bai.

“What the hell is this cultivation reduction? It feels more comfortable than taking a bath.”

“Traitor, villain, rebel! Come and face your death!”

Seeing that Xiao Bai’s speed not only hadn't decreased but had accelerated, and the bloody hole from the Demon Slaying Sword was visibly healing, Han Cangfeng was shocked.

“How can this be?”

Han Cangfeng decisively landed from the air and frantically ran into the Demon Suppression Agency.

Chapter 22: Destroying the Demon Suppression Agency

The main building of the Demon Suppression Agency was a nine-story Demon Suppression Tower, standing majestically on the bank of the Xuan River, overlooking the surging river below.

There were also dozens of shorter buildings nearby, occupying a large area.

“Demon Suppression Guards, heed my command! Capture the snake demon!”

Hundreds of guards, dressed in black and wielding long sabers, rushed out from the Demon Suppression Agency, forming a battle Formation to meet Xiao Bai.

Clan Chief Cao Jiang, leading his eight personal guards, also stepped out.

“Cangfeng, why such haste?”

“Reporting to Clan Chief, that snake demon has pursued me all the way here and still won’t let me go.”

Cao Jiang looked at him suspiciously: “What are you carrying on your shoulder?”

“This is a Fox Demon. I will present her to His Majesty the Emperor in a few days. Please, Lord Cao, subdue this demon.”

Facing Xiao Bai’s relentless pursuit, Han Cangfeng dared not confront him directly. Even if he could subdue him, he would be severely injured, which would be very unprofitable.

Cao Jiang was a straightforward person, born to slay Yao Beasts. Seeing the White Python approaching, he quickly gathered his eight personal guards.

“Form the Formation…”

Han Cangfeng knew Cao Jiang would act, so he secretly moved Tu Shan You You into the nine-story Demon Suppression Tower. Many Yao Beasts were imprisoned there, and on the ninth floor, there were two big ones.

“Evil creature, I acknowledge your difficult cultivation and we do not wish to cause too much slaughter. I am Cao Jiang, Clan Chief of the Da Kun Demon Suppression Agency. Please leave the Da Kun Dynasty’s borders at once.”

“Da Kun?”

Suddenly, a chicken with a middle part hairstyle appeared in Xiao Bai’s mind.

“So that black-clothed man is from the Demon Suppression Agency. You openly trespassed into my Yao Race territory and abducted my wife. Don't you need to explain this?”

A burly personal guard next to Cao Jiang, wielding three axes from his waist, roared: “Presumptuous! When does the Demon Suppression Agency need to explain itself to a nobody like you?”

Cao Jiang, however, seemed more polite, appearing to be a reasonable person, but in reality, he was also playing dirty.

“Brother Snake, once a Yao Beast enters the Demon Suppression Agency, it will never be released. There has never been such a rule for hundreds of years.”

“Oh, so you’re playing dirty, huh! Today, I’ll tear down the Demon Suppression Agency!”

Xiao Bai’s attitude was very firm. Cao Jiang began to shift to a threatening tone: “The Demon Suppression Tower holds many powerful Yao Beasts. If you insist on going your own way, you cannot bear the consequences. Please reconsider.”

“What the hell are you talking about? I’ll count to ten. If you don’t hand over Fox Spirit Matchmaker, I’ll immediately go on a rampage.”

Ten

Nine

…”

When he counted to one, Cao Jiang remained unmoved and even had his eight personal guards prepare to form a Formation.

“Kill this snake demon for me!”

“Kill!”

Shouts echoed through the river valley as hundreds of Demon Suppression Guards charged at Xiao Bai.

The huge snake body swept horizontally, instantly knocking away over a dozen Demon Suppression Guards, who vomited blood and died.

Ordinary weapons were painless and ineffective against Xiao Bai. His powerful and overbearing strength crushed the Demon Suppression Guards into a bloody pulp.

Seeing his subordinates dying in large numbers, Cao Jiang’s forehead was drenched in sweat. He silently chanted a spell and flicked his two fingers: “Sword, come…”

Nine Demon Slaying Swords flew towards them in a line. Han Cangfeng, hiding inside the Demon Suppression Tower, watched his arm tremble violently as the Demon Slaying Sword in his hand flew to Cao Jiang’s side.

“Hey, come back! Damn it, that Old Guy actually used the Demon Slaying Sword Formation.”

“Now there’s a good show to watch. It’s best if they both suffer heavy losses; that way, the Clan Chief’s position will fall right into my lap.”

Han Cangfeng rolled his cunning eyes, secretly observing from the shadows, unable to hide his inner joy. From time to time, he would glance at Tu Shan You You behind him, who was already tightly bound.

If she woke up, she would definitely be sent to the Da Kun Imperial Capital immediately to be presented to Emperor Kun.

The last Demon Slaying Sword flew from the opposite bank of the Xuan River. Cao Jiang’s face twitched; he knew Xiao Bai was telling the truth.

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Since its establishment, the Demon Suppression Agency had always taken the slaying of demons as its duty, but after Emperor Kun ascended the throne ten years ago, things seemed to have changed a bit.

Some stunningly beautiful demonesses would have their magic sealed and be sent to the Imperial Capital for Emperor Kun’s amusement.

Nine Demon Slaying Swords rotated around Cao Jiang. He took one of them and pointed it forcefully at the eight personal guards. The remaining eight swords automatically flew into their hands.

“Form the Demon Slaying Sword Formation.”

“Yes…”

The eight personal guards, full of confidence after receiving the Demon Slaying Swords, quickly formed the Formation under Cao Jiang’s direction.

At this point, Xiao Bai had almost dealt with all the Demon Suppression Guards. Their highest Rank was only Late Stage Foundation Establishment (Rank Four Yao Beasts), making them relatively easy to deal with, and they didn't have divine Sharp Weapons like the Demon Slaying Sword.

“Everyone, be careful. The snake demon has the strength of a Rank Six Yao Beast, and he’s stronger than any Rank Six Yao Beast we’ve encountered before. His true strength is far beyond this.”

“Yes… Please give your command, Lord Cao.”

Cao Jiang had the strength of Early Stage Nascent Soul, making him one of the top ten masters in the Da Kun Dynasty and the only Nascent Soul expert in the Demon Suppression Agency.

Facing such a powerful Yao Beast, he dared not underestimate him. He roared: “Everyone, pour your magic power into the Demon Slaying Swords!”

“One Sword Slaying Demon!”

Cao Jiang forcefully swung the Demon Slaying Sword in his hand. A forty-meter-long giant sword slashed towards Xiao Bai.

It was devastating and incredibly powerful. Xiao Bai quickly dodged, choosing not to confront it head-on, leaving a huge gully in the ground.

“Again!”

“Rain of Swords!”

Xiao Bai prepared to launch a surprise attack from the side, but then countless sword rains shot towards him, even with an automatic tracking function. No matter how he dodged, they would pursue him.

Bang! Whoosh!

Xiao Bai swooped down from the air to the ground, creating a large crater, then bounced up a hundred meters into the sky. Countless Sharp Weapons followed his snake tail, forming a hundred-meter-long tail, moving incredibly fast.

“I can’t dodge it anymore. What should I do? I wouldn’t dare to confront this kind of attack head-on.”

The White Python plunged into the Demon Suppression Agency, rampaging inside. The sword rain followed closely, turning dozens of buildings in the Demon Suppression Agency into ruins, leaving only the nine-story Demon Suppression Tower undamaged.

“Damn it! Despicable! Hateful!”

Cao Jiang’s veins bulged as he cursed through gritted teeth.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Bai to be so cunning, with an intelligence far surpassing other Yao Beasts.

Before Cao Jiang could recover from his anger, Xiao Bai had already pounced towards him.

Retract!

Fearing that he might injure his own people, Cao Jiang quickly retracted his Move, and the sword rain behind Xiao Bai instantly disappeared.
