Chapter 45

"Yingying?"

Inside an auto repair shop, a middle-aged man walked out of the lounge, looking at his daughter's figure at the shop entrance.

Calling it a "lounge" was actually just a few rooms partitioned off with wooden boards.

Close the wooden door, and one could rest and live. Walk out the door, and one could work directly.

"Ah, Dad." Chang Ying responded casually.

She leaned against the window, turning a wrench in her hand, looking at the few figures at the intersection.

"Your mom is calling you. It's very late, go back to the room quickly." Chang's father urged.

"There's a deity in the shop, what are you afraid of?" Chang Ying still didn't turn her head.

"Come quickly and lead us to worship the deity; your mom and I don't understand." Chang's father said helplessly, having long been unable to control his daughter.

Come to think of it, as ordinary people, the Chang couple being able to stay at home on the night of the fifteenth was all thanks to this promising daughter.

"Stay away from the door." Chang's father nagged, stepping forward, "What are you looking at, so engrossed?"

Chang's father came to the window and, following his daughter's line of sight, also saw a few figures scattered at the intersection.

Three men in black raincoats, and a man and a woman in yellow raincoats.

"Isn't that your classmate? What's his name again..."

Chang's father patted his forehead, but still couldn't remember: "Didn't he come to visit our house a few days ago?"

"Lu Ran." Chang Ying said softly, "Today, he even passed by the door several times."

"The young man is really amazing." Chang's father sighed, "He can already carry out missions with the Moon-Watchers now."

"Yeah~" Chang Ying pouted.

"My daughter will definitely be able to do it too." Chang's father noticed his daughter's state and immediately encouraged her.

"When we first formed a team, I wanted to be with him!" Chang Ying weighed the wrench in her hand, "That hateful Deng Yutang..."

Chang's father: "Should we prepare a few bottles of water? When they walk here, will you give it to them?"

"Okay." Chang Ying didn't refuse, but muttered in her heart: In this heavy rain, who would be thirsty?

Just open your mouth and drink!

"Let's go, go inside, we can see it on the monitor too." Chang's father urged again.

"Got it, got it." Chang Ying tucked the wrench into her waist and took out her phone, clicking on the camera.

"Click~"

Afterward, Chang Ying sent the picture to the grade group.

The group immediately exploded!

In the photo, the dim street lamp illuminated the rain clearly, like layers of rain curtains.

And the boy in the yellow raincoat in the rain was holding a thin black ice blade, looking up slightly, with his eyes closed.

Seemed to be listening intently to something?

"Holy crap! Isn't this my Brother Ran?"

"Did he really go for the additional test? Did he really go to be a Moon-Watcher?"

"Awesome! A real man! Daring to take the additional test on the fifteenth of July, he really wants points over his life..."

"This little street lamp, this little rain, this atmosphere... Damn, it's amazing!"

"More, Big Axe Chang, take two more!"

"Why is Lu Ran closing his eyes?"

Qian Hao of Grade 2 (4): "Don't understand? This is the world's top-tier Divine Technique: 'Whatever, I Don't Care'!"

"Ah?"

"What the hell?"

Qian Hao of Grade 2 (4): "Didn't you see my Brother Ran sitting as steady as Mount Tai, calm and composed? He didn't even put the demons in his eyes at all!

This is the legendary 'eyes closed, whatever the hell happens'!"

Li Yanzhu: "@Qian Hao, report to my office when school starts."

The lively grade group suddenly went silent.

"Snap!"

Inside the auto repair shop, Chang Ying laughed until she bent over, and the wrench tucked in her waist fell to the ground.

She still wanted to be a front-line reporter, but when she looked out the window again, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Just about 20 meters outside the window, energy was fluctuating violently, and a tall figure was rapidly taking shape!

"Soul-Splitting Demon!"

Chang Ying was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.

"Hiss—"

"Eh?" As she stepped back, she happened to step on the wrench that had just fallen to the ground, directly doing a full split.

Unfortunately, the auto repair shop didn't have floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Soul-Splitting Demon, descending for the first time, didn't get to see the human's good performance.

"Moo!!"

A distinctive roar came from outside the window.

The Soul-Splitting Demon was pitch black all over, and although it stood upright, it had a fierce and ugly bull's head.

Its body was extremely robust, with muscles knotted, and several black mist clusters circled around its body.

Because the Soul-Splitting Demon had just descended and hadn't slaughtered humans yet, those black mist clusters weren't terrifying.

But when the Soul-Splitting Demon slaughtered humans...

A human face would emerge within the black mist cluster!

Painful, twisted, and even torn human faces!

From time to time, it would be accompanied by the shrill screams of human faces, the scene extremely horrifying!

The name "Soul-Splitting" comes from this.

No one wants to encounter this kind of terrifying demon.

To put it bluntly, being killed by other demons can be considered an end to it all.

But if caught by a Soul-Splitting Demon, it would truly be a fate worse than death!

Over the past few decades, the Soul-Splitting Demon has proven to the world: the death of the physical body is far from the end of suffering!

"Yingying!"

"Chang Ying!" Her parents' anxious voices came from behind, among which Chang's father's voice came from far to near.

"Don't come over, go back to the room quickly!"

Chang Ying shouted sternly, hurriedly retreating backward.

There was a small deity statue of the Spirit Sign in the auto repair shop; the Soul-Splitting Demon definitely wouldn't dare to come in... eh?

Chang Ying's pupils shrank slightly!

She saw that the huge Soul-Splitting Demon was actually charging toward the auto repair shop?

As it advanced, one could hear the heavy sound of bull hooves stepping on the ground, as if the earth itself were trembling.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

"Retreat, Dad, retreat quickly!" Chang Ying was completely anxious, having already fished out an old sign tube from her left hand.

"Swish swish swish~"

She shook the sign tube frantically, chanting: "Spirit Sign bless us, Spirit Sign bless us!"

Spirit Sign Divine Technique: Five Treasure Signs!

There were a total of five signs in the sign tube, each representing a Divine Technique.

There were output signs, defense signs, control signs, auxiliary signs, and summoning signs...

Merely five signs, yet they covered so many types of Divine Techniques, which was truly a bit powerful.

The only drawback was that what you could draw depended entirely on luck!

"Control, defense, or summon a divine soldier or general to lure the demon away!" Chang Ying was praying frantically in her heart.

"Whoosh~!"

In the sign tube, an illusory spirit sign flew high and slowly rotated above Chang Ying's head.

Chang Ying was full of expectation, retreating while looking at the spirit sign.

But in the next moment, she was completely dumbfounded.

She saw wisps of mist falling, chasing Chang Ying, attempting to merge into her body.

Auxiliary Sign: Divine Power Sign!

While this spirit sign exists, it can continuously help the caster recover divine power.

Chang Ying:???

Do I need you to recover my divine power?

The Soul-Splitting Demon was about to smash the shop door and kill its way in!

As a result, you drew me this thing?

You really want me to die...

"Crack!"

"Crack crack!" Suddenly, several blood-colored chains appeared out of thin air, tightly binding the ugly bull's head and blocking its robust body.

Immediately afterward, sharp spikes actually grew on the blood-colored chains, extremely sharp, piercing deeply into the demon's body.

Divine Technique: Demon-Imprisoning Chain!

Divine Technique: Blood Chain Spike!

"Moo!!"

The Soul-Splitting Demon roared, angry to the extreme.

It stretched its limbs fiercely, muscles bulging, as if it were about to explode.

"Crack!!"

The blood-colored chains shattered with a bang, the sound of which made one's heart tremble.

The Soul-Splitting Demon was covered in blood holes, bleeding profusely, but it had no concept of "every debt has its debtor".

Its brute force surged, and those vicious bull eyes remained fixed on the shop in front of it, charging again.

The blood-colored chains rose again, instantly assembling into a chain net, turning into a protective barrier.

Divine Technique: Blood Chain Barrier!

"Thump!"

The Soul-Splitting Demon charged, its brute force astonishing, actually causing the chain net to bulge.

The chain net, which seemed to have strong defensive power, looked like it could shatter at any moment!

"Quick! Quick quick quick..." Chang Ying widened her eyes.

She pushed and shoved, pushing her father into the wooden room.

"Moo!!"

The fierce bull was simply a mad bull.

It seemed to have set its sights on this shop, determined to charge in and crush the creatures inside.

"Baa~~~"

At the critical moment, a sheep's bleat faintly came.

The Soul-Splitting Demon's charging momentum suddenly slowed.

The scene was very eerie!

That pitch-black, fierce bull's head suddenly looked backward:

"Moo!!"

Eyes wide open, killing intent boiling!

Lu Ran pinched the brim of his yellow raincoat hood with one hand, lifted it slightly, and looked at the huge, cruel demon:

"Baa."
