CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 236: HEAVENLY GANG REVERSES THE FIGHT, THE CAT DEMON RETURNS TO THE FOREST

"Old man, your time has come!"

Baiyun Daoist’s heart was alarmed. The reason he has lived this long, apart from alchemizing for longevity, is because he is quite afraid of death.

True Lord Yuan of Ruiyi Temple is just a manifestation of a minor deity formed from incense, which Baiyun Daoist does not fear. But upon learning that the person who managed to block the celestial mechanism, rendering it unobservable, was Xu Qing, he instantly felt uneasy.

Who knows whom that little cat may have gotten involved with? If it’s someone of profound cultivation or someone with substantial influence and background, regardless of whether he can defeat Xu Qing or not, the outcome won’t be favorable.

After weighing the pros and cons, if he could truly fight Xu Qing, it would be fine. Even if Xu Qing indeed has a sky-reaching background, he could flee thousands of miles and live in the Western Regions, Nan Cuo, or the wildlands.

If things get really bad, he could hide in the Ancient Yin River Dao.

But if he cannot fight Xu Qing, then truly the only outcome would be his demise.

Baiyun Daoist clearly understands the implications, so when Xu Qing and the Cat Demon, who had transformed into the likeness of a young girl, prepared to make a move, he instead laughed aloud, "You are right, but it’s not my time that has come. It’s the time for me to refine the Nine-turn Elixir and achieve immortality!"

"Today, I will refine you into elixir pills and consume them to become immortal!"

Having said that, Baiyun Daoist took out a Ghost Head Blood Saber. The saber’s ghost head was wide open, having devoured who knows how many infant souls. As soon as it appeared, the entire altar was instantly filled with a violent wind, causing Xu Qing’s Corpse Hair to stand on end, not out of fear of the saber, but because he felt the countless souls of Infant Spirits that had died under the saber.

"This saber is called the Ghost Head Divine Saber. Whenever drawn, heads fall; it was obtained in Baiyun Cavern, a true Nine Heaven secret technique. Listen carefully!"

Baiyun Daoist slapped the scabbard three times, each time more forcefully. The altar rang with the wailing wind, like thousands of vengeful ghosts lamenting, yet in Xu Qing’s ears, it sounded like countless infants crying.

As the sharp whistles swept the altar, Baiyun Daoist’s Ghost Head Saber suddenly leapt into the air, transforming into a black demon dog, lunging straight at Xu Qing.

The demon dog, with a dog’s body and a ghost’s head, hid a sharp blade’s killing intent within. Upon seeing this saber, Xu Qing suddenly understood why Xuan Yu had been captured by Baiyun Daoist.

Cats and dogs are natural enemies. The ghost dog spawned from the Ghost Head Magic Saber moved faster than a master’s saber light, even the swiftest cat would struggle to dodge.

Xu Qing did not evade. As the ghost dog leapt from the Ghost Head Saber, the incense in the Blood Lake Dharma Realm completely enveloped him and Xuan Yu.

The maternal deity’s dharma appearance emerged, and Xu Qing’s hands suddenly held two items, a small red bottle and a jade scepter.

As the ghost dog lunged forward, Xu Qing threw the jade scepter out.

The Ghost Head Saber was originally Daoist’s baby-killing saber, with the ghost dog inside being merely a manifestation of the Infant Spirit grudges. Facing the angry maternal deity, it was like a mischievous child confronting a mother wielding a switch; before even reaching close, its courage had diminished by three parts.

The jade scepter struck the ghost dog squarely.

Under the cleansing of incense, gathered from thousands of mother’s wishes and child’s prayers, the ghost dog’s ferocious air was reduced by over ninety percent. As it reached Xu Qing, seeing the opponent’s intimidating gaze and disdainful expression, the ghost dog unexpectedly halted mid-swing, caught in hesitation.

Xu Qing wouldn’t give the vicious blade time to react. He immediately inverted the maternal aura bottle, pointed its opening at the ghost dog, and instantly confined it.

Set aside the ghost dog being sealed within the maternal aura bottle, transformed by incense, and talk about Baiyun Daoist fleeing from the scene after releasing the wicked dog!

This Daoist never planned to fight Xu Qing to death. Even when uttering harsh words earlier about refining Xuan Yu into elixirs, it was merely for intimidating Xu Qing and Xuan Yu, having already prepared to abandon the Ghost Head Saber and flee.

"You wicked Daoist! Refining this magic saber and still dreaming of immortality? Today, be it old grudges or none, I cannot spare you!"

Xu Qing threw the crimson Lean Banner in the direction Baiyun Daoist fled. As the banner caught up behind Baiyun Daoist, Xu Qing’s figure also appeared by the Lean Banner.

Simultaneously, he tossed the second green Lean Banner.

Then followed the black and gold Lean Banners.

The four-sided Lean Banner appeared like flowing light, relaying in succession. In no time, Xu Qing caught up with Baiyun Daoist, who traveled amidst wind and fog.

"Who exactly are you?"

Daoist looked at Xu Qing, feeling uncertain.

At this moment, not just Baiyun Daoist, even True Lord Yuan might be taken aback.

Many in the world practice divine paths, but those who can manifest dharma appearances are, without exception, beings of great Wishing Power and merit.

Baiyun Daoist looked at Xu Qing, possessing a male body yet emitting feminine divine light, feeling uneasy as if sitting on pins and needles.

That feeling was like a child trafficker caught red-handed by the child’s mother. Moreover, this mother for all intents and purposes was a powerhouse whose aura overshadowed everyone.

If caught, bruises would be light; being scattered into pieces would be the real fear!

"Xuan Yu!"

Xu Qing did not respond to Baiyun Daoist’s words. After blocking and forcing him to the ground, Xu Qing’s first utterance was directed at the sword-wielding young girl on the scene.

Xuan Yu understood Xu Qing’s intention; it needed to dispel the Heart Demon while also leveraging Baiyun Daoist to enhance its own ’power’ anew!
