Li Yunqing smiled.
"Of course, you are learning the sword techniques for killing demons, so you should kill as many as you want. There was once someone who tried to eliminate all the demons from Teng Xiu Shan, but unfortunately, he ran out of strength and was killed."
"Who was that?"
Sera and Lilu Lu were curious about who had such courage, though it was a pity he had died.
Li Yunqing thought for a moment.
"Your senior brother Sabi Tu and senior sister Zhen Guo."
Upon hearing Li Yunqing's words, Sera and Lilu Lu felt a surge of anger. Although they had never heard Urin Taki mention it, now that they knew, they felt a sense of responsibility.
"We'll take care of that demon killer ourselves!"
Li Yunqing gently touched Sera and Lilu Lu's faces.
"Don't rush; let Tanjirou handle it. It's his destiny."
"Huh? Oh."
Sera and Lilu Lu couldn't understand why Tanjirou had to be the one to kill, as it seemed like everything fell on him. However, if their master said so, there must be a reason behind it.
Still, Sera and Lilu Lu felt a bit upset.
Li Yunqing nudged them.
"Go on, kill the demon."
"Alright! We'll be back once we finish!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you to return."
As Sera and Lilu Lu ran off, they waved goodbye to Li Yunqing.
Li Yunqing waved back with a smile, watching as Sera and Lilu Lu disappeared into the distance before surveying the surroundings.
He casually cast a few visual spells and concealment arrays so that neither people nor demons could see the wooden house here.
With a stretch, Li Yunqing walked toward the nearby forest.
There were still a few demons around; these demons were quite powerful and cunning, preferring to prey on those who were alone without being seen by other humans.
They were not as powerful as Shougui and could not directly kill everyone who looked at them, so they were still afraid of their news being conveyed to the Cultivators. Sera and Lilu Lu directly confronted the more than ten humans who were besieged, while this side remained unnoticed. Li Yunqing also disliked having any threats around the house.
He casually picked up a branch from the ground and activated Creating Magic, transforming the branch into a wooden sword. He swung it a few times; it didn’t feel great, but it would suffice for dealing with a few ordinary little demons.
As Li Yunqing drew closer, the nearest demon had already noticed him. It stealthily approached, hiding in a patch of grass. Just as Li Yunqing passed by this patch, the demon lunged at him. Without even looking, Li Yunqing infused the wooden sword with ripples and struck with a swift motion.
Water Breathing Fifth Form: Gentle Rain of Heaven—modified!
This originally painless decapitation technique was altered by Li Yunqing. The swift beheading that typically left no sensation now inflicted excruciating pain, flooding the victim's mind with memories of all their past misdeeds and embarrassing moments. The death was agonizing.
Li Yunqing crouched down to observe the demon’s head, its vacant eyes and tear-streaked face, its mouth agape in silent agony. For a demon that had killed many, this was a fitting torment, though it could only be inflicted once.
After examining the result, he found the technique quite effective and continued deeper into the area, one demon after another succumbing to their suffering. Li Yunqing felt no remorse; his nose could detect how many people they had consumed—most of these demons had devoured at least ten lives.
Yet they were still incredibly weak. How pathetic! It was better that I have liberated them!
Li Yunqing casually discarded the wooden sword and walked toward the wooden house without looking back, leaving behind a trail of ashes.
