Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 130 The Mutated Peng Yuxian

He tossed the short sword into the air, chanting incantations. The short sword stood erect in mid-air, as if it understood his words. As soon as he finished the incantation, it suddenly rushed towards Thousand Faces. He didn't stop there; he casually took out several daggers, chanted a few incantations, and then stabbed them at Thousand Faces.

Then he leaped out of the window and landed in front of Thousand Faces of Sorrow.

Thousand Faces Dodged the short sword with a turn, but several daggers followed closely in front of it. It quickly leaped into the air, dodging two daggers, but the third one suddenly turned and attacked upwards. It couldn't dodge in time and was pierced straight into its left side, falling to the ground behind it.

It let out a hoarse scream, and wherever the dagger passed, billowing black smoke billowed out, as if blocked by something, unable to return. A moment later, it dissipated into the air.

A tearing pain spread throughout its body.

Thousand Faces was instantly enraged. It looked at the newcomer and said, "Peng Yuxian, it's you again!"

Geng Miaowan and the others were stunned by Peng Yuxian's appearance. How did that guy who seemed to know nothing become so powerful today? Moreover, the tools in his hands looked like they were specifically designed to deal with Qianmian Shang, the nemesis of the demon race.

Peng Yuxian didn't even glance at Qianmian Shang, but went straight to Geng Miaowan and said, "I'm late."

Geng Miaowan nodded, "Not too late, not too late, you've come at the perfect time." Although she had a million questions in her mind, she knew now was not the time to ask.

The pain from its wounds caused Qianmian Shang to lose some of its reason. Looking at Peng Yuxian, it felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through its mind, roaring and howling. It thought about how the people it had killed were nothing but damned scum, and why they wouldn't let it go, pushing it to such a point.

It was enraged, a rage devoid of reason. Its body suddenly swelled several times its original size, and it roared at Peng Yuxian, "Why do you treat me like this when I've clearly killed only damned scum!"

Although Xu Ruwen and the others also injured it, their injuries were not painful enough to cause it fatal damage. However, the injuries inflicted by Peng Yuxian were excruciating. It knew that if it wanted to leave this door today, it had to avoid Peng Yuxian.

But at this very moment, it felt resentful, thinking that everyone had misunderstood its intentions, and that it had done something righteous for nothing, yet it was being treated this way.

“Bad people will naturally be punished by law. No one can act as God and arbitrarily decide the life and death of others, not even if you are a demon.” Geng Miaowan spoke these words with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring spirit.

Qianmian Shang sneered, "What legal sanctions? Laws are only for those who abide by them. What law can punish those scum who disregard the law and treat women like playthings?"

Its question stumped Geng Miaowan, who was momentarily speechless, because in her heart, she had always felt that the men killed by Qianmian Shang were all scum.

At this moment, Peng Yuxian spoke up, "Whether they deserve to die is not up to you or me to decide. You shouldn't have killed so many people unjustly based on your own preferences."

"Then who decides? Heaven?" Qianmian Shang suddenly laughed, his voice desolate and mournful. "If Heaven truly had eyes, I wouldn't have fallen to this state."

With that, its frying pan-like face turned to Xu Ruwen again, and it said sternly, "Enough with the nonsense, let's settle this today and see if heaven really favors you so-called good people!"

They say impulsiveness is the devil. At this moment, Thousand Faces of Sorrow should have been trying to escape, but it was triggered by a sudden surge of emotion. In that impulsive act, it ended up getting itself killed.

The Thousand Faces of Sorrow had expanded several times in size, taking up almost half the room. Compared to it, Peng Yuxian's slender figure appeared somewhat frail. If the winner was determined by size, then Peng Yuxian was undoubtedly not worth watching.

However, Peng Yuxian was not intimidated by its size. He gave the retrieved short sword and dagger to Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen respectively. Those weapons had been specially tempered and were specifically designed to deal with demons.

With Peng Yuxian joining them, dealing with Qianmian Shang became much easier. Moreover, Peng Yuxian basically took on most of the combat work, while Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen became his assistants.

However, Geng Miaowan was originally just an assistant; it's just that she went from assisting Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai to assisting Peng Yuxian. The essence remained the same—she was still just an assistant.

Peng Yuxian, for reasons unknown, seemed to have mutated as if he had taken a power-up, suddenly becoming incredibly powerful and invincible. Moreover, every move he made was specifically designed to counter Qianmian Shang, giving the impression that…

Exorcist?

But if he was an exorcist, why did he appear as an ordinary person at the beginning? Geng Miaowan couldn't figure it out and decided that she would definitely ask him what was going on when she had time.

Under the combined attack of several people, Qianmian Shang gradually showed signs of defeat.

At this moment, Peng Yuxian threw another object, which struck Qianmian Shang heavily in the face. Xu Ruwen seized the opportunity to attack it, slashing its body in two with his dagger. Geng Miaowan and Xiaobai then delivered another heavy blow from behind. Qianmian Shang only had time to let out a cry before it was torn to pieces.

Just as the group was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a black light shot out from the dispersing black smoke, rushing out at great speed and heading straight for the window.

"Oh no, its primordial spirit is trying to escape!" Xu Ruwen exclaimed. However, before they could react, Qianmian Shang's primordial spirit had already darted far away from them. Even though they immediately gave chase, they couldn't catch up with its speed.

Are we just going to let her escape like this? Geng Miaowan felt a little frustrated. She had finally managed to deal with it, but she didn't expect it to be so cunning, using its own body as bait to let its primordial spirit escape.

Not only is the primordial spirit easy to conceal, but it can also be cultivated back into a demon at any time, provided the conditions are right.

"We absolutely cannot let it escape!" she shouted, rushing towards Qianmianshang's primordial spirit at top speed. Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai followed closely behind. If it escaped, all their efforts would be in vain, and the past few months of hard work would be wasted.

Although Peng Yuxian didn't know what had happened, seeing their tense expressions, he assumed something serious had occurred, so he followed Xu Ruwen. (To be continued.)
