The Holy Infant King, formerly known as Red Boy and currently called Niu Hong, is one of the most notorious troublemakers in the history of China. However, he is indeed a mischievous child.
Although his temperament has changed since cultivating under the Bodhisattva, Red Boy still has the nature of an immature child and cannot resist being playful—I was seeing him use the Fire Spear for the first time.
After calming Red Boy down, I placed everything I might need that night into the Seed Bag. Lin Miaomiao informed me that Luoling was staying in the dormitory at school, which meant I would be sneaking into the girls' dormitory...
At noon, Lin Miaomiao planned to take me to scout the area.
The girls' dormitory is located at the far west of JZ Normal University, next to a playground with several Basketball Hoops. From the playground, you can see the back of the girls' dormitory, where Lin Miaomiao and Luoling live on the top floor. It was a perfect spot for observation.
After dinner, I arrived at the playground. Although there were Basketball Hoops here, it seemed that college students weren't very fond of playing basketball; occasionally, couples would be seen together and would quickly move away upon noticing me.
As darkness fell, I set up a Barrier around where I was sitting to ensure I wouldn't be taken away by campus security...
JZ Normal University experienced a power outage around 1 AM, and in an instant, the entire campus fell silent. Occasionally, you could hear girls making noise, but they were quickly silenced by the dorm supervisor.
Although it was still warm during the day, I couldn't help but shiver when the cool night breeze blew. I quickly took out my Azure Robe from the Seed Bag and put it on.
The moon tonight was small, resembling a large cake with a bite taken out of it hanging in the sky. The stars dimmed their brilliance as the wind occasionally rustled the leaves nearby. Everything felt quiet and ordinary.
I sat directly on the playground practicing my breathing techniques, controlling my internal magical energy to circulate around my body. Even though I was in a state of cultivation, I could sense any disturbances immediately.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept through. At that moment, I opened my eyes and picked up my Thunderstruck Peach Blossom Wood Sword that Wang Ni had already retrieved for me. I carefully observed Luoling's room on the top floor.
I saw a Bat flying through the air, wobbling as it approached above the girls' dormitory. After circling around once, it flew directly into Luoling's room.
Holding my wooden sword, I activated the Wind Walking Technique and leaped onto the roof of the girls' dormitory.
I didn't plan to engage in combat within the girls' dormitory due to its dense population. Moreover, this wasn't Luoling's first encounter with trouble; this demon wouldn't take her life. Therefore, I preferred not to alert it unnecessarily—if it became desperate and caused harm, that would not be my intention.
About half an incense stick later, a black Bat flew out of the girls' dormitory—having grown significantly larger than when it entered!
Damn, what did this thing do to inflate like a balloon?
I stood on the rooftop, waiting for the Bat to fly near the playground where I had just been, and threw the wooden sword in my hand.
I was lucky; I hit the Bat right away, and as soon as it landed, it turned into a cloud of black mist, like a bag of flour dropping.
With Wind Walk under my feet, I jumped directly from the rooftop to the playground. Strangely, there was nothing on the ground.
A strong wind surged from behind me, and before I could react, I was swept back three or four meters.
My back burned with pain, but I felt that the Azure Robe had absorbed most of the force; otherwise, that blow could have split me in half...
What a vicious move! I supported myself and got up from the ground while casting a Golden Shield Spell on myself.
"Caw Caw, I am Black Wuchang." A contemptuous laugh came from behind. I turned around to see a creature shrouded in a black robe.
It was a monster but still retained some human shape. It stood about one meter twenty or thirty tall, with legs resembling those of a dog, curled up like that, and its hands hidden in the black robe. Its nose was turned up, ears were extremely long, and there wasn't a single hair on its head—just an enlarged Bat!
It could talk but couldn't shed its monstrous form? It seemed to be a demon that had cultivated for many years.
According to legends, Blood Demons survive by sucking blood, and those who are drained by them can become Blood Demons themselves. However, Blood Demons are primarily a Western phenomenon; they are quite rare in the East. This should be a demon that has also practiced for many years. Meeting me today—who knows if it's my luck or misfortune...
I put the wooden sword back in the Seed Bag; Thunderstruck Peach Blossom Wood wouldn't be much use against demons.
The Bat Demon spread its black robe, which turned out to be its wings. With a flap of its wings, the Bat Demon floated into the air. Looking down at me from above with a sneer on its lips, it seemed to regard me as insignificant.
"Die!" The Bat Demon swooped down at me, its sharp claws aimed at my face.
I dodged to the side to avoid the incoming sharpness and quickly pulled out a dagger from the Seed Bag to prepare for a counterattack.
“Luoling, is this your doing?” I attempted to draw its attention with words. “What did the girl do to provoke you?”
“Hehe.” Bat Demon smiled eerily. “What’s wrong? Are you trying to meddle?”
“I don’t care if you cultivate; whether you become a demon or a god is your own business. But if you come here under my nose to harm others, I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
That’s just how I am. The world is vast, and I can’t manage everything, but if something happens right under my nose and I ignore it, then all my years of cultivation would have been for nothing.
Bat Demon sneered contemptuously, not responding, and suddenly dove toward me again.
I prepared my defenses; when it got close, I would stab it mercilessly with the dagger in my hand.
However, Bat Demon didn’t attack like last time. Instead, it grabbed my Daoist Robe and forcibly lifted me into the air—was it trying to kill me by throwing me down?
Suspended in mid-air, I had no place to gain leverage, and my hands couldn’t reach Bat Demon. When it took me about a hundred meters up, it suddenly let go.
My Wind Walking Technique could allow me to fly if mastered, but unfortunately, I hadn’t grasped that skill yet. At most, I could hover for a moment. But falling freely from a hundred meters left me with no way to brace myself.
Is this how it ends? Am I going to be stuck here forever? I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of expression Old Black would have when he came to pick me up.
Just as despair engulfed me, a light flashed from my Seed Bag.
It was the hilt of the sword left for me by my master.
The sword hilt floated alone in mid-air. I reached out to grab it but missed. Suddenly, the hilt emitted a Radiance, and the blade materialized into a wide beam of light.
The light sword sliced through the air and gently caught me. Standing on the light sword felt as stable as standing on solid ground.
“Sword Control Technique?” Bat Demon exclaimed in surprise.
I do not know the Sword Control Technique. To be honest, I have only been exposed to a few basic sword techniques. As for this lightsaber, it simply guided me; I did not feel any control over it.
The lightsaber placed me on the ground, and the radiance on the blade diminished, transforming it into a sword that looked like an ordinary one.
Only the hilt was formed from radiance, while the blade felt light in my hand, similar to an ordinary wooden sword. I swung the lightsaber randomly, but there was no sound of slicing through the air nor any sharp sensation. However, my magical energy consumption was significant; in just a moment, I had used one-tenth of my total amount.
The Bat Demon landed on the ground, staring at me with its eerie eyes. "I see you," it said. Then it waved its wings, and clouds of black mist emerged around it.
"Go."
The black mist drifted slowly toward me. Although it moved slowly, its sheer number was overwhelming. I was surrounded by black mist from all directions and had no way to escape; I could only try to charge through.
"Hiss~" When some of the black mist touched the ground, the surface instantly melted away. It seemed that the black mist had corrosive properties; charging through was not an option.
I attempted to slash at the black mist with the lightsaber, but unfortunately, there was no reaction.
Taking out a Fire Talisman, I ignited it and tried to burn away the black mist, but that also proved ineffective.
My cultivation level is still too low; I was too arrogant to think I could handle this alone.
"Caw Caw, I am Black Wuchang. Prepare to die!"
The Bat Demon clasped its hands together, and in an instant, all the black mist enveloped me.
