Chapter 759

"There's demon qi!"

Lin Fan was watching Lin Yueru acting coquettishly with Zhao Linger with a smile, but suddenly his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice.

"There's a demon? Where?"

Lin Yueru hurriedly let go of Zhao Linger's hand, drew her sword, and looked around.

"It's demon qi, you idiot, the demon is still far away!"

"You're the idiot! It's my first time seeing—ah, no, hearing about a demon, so of course I'd be excited!"

Watching Lin Fan and Lin Yueru bickering, Zhao Linger felt that such noisy days were quite interesting.

"Let's go. Today I'll take you to subdue demons and eliminate monsters for once. Huishan Xuan Yuan, come forth!"

Lin Fan summoned the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword, then rode the sword with the two women toward the place where the demon qi was thickest.

"Wow, this is the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword, an ancient divine artifact? And you're using it to ride the sword?"

Hearing this, Lin Yueru sat on the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword, observed the blade carefully for a while, and then questioned Lin Fan.

"A sword is a weapon of violence; it's meant to be used. If I don't use it to ride the sword, should I worship it instead? What do you say, Huishan Xuan Yuan?"

Lin Fan said nonchalantly, then asked the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword. The Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword hummed, clearly agreeing with Lin Fan's statement.

Soon, the stream of light flashing across the sky brought the three of them to the outside of a cave. Demon qi was permeating from within; it was clearly the lair of demon creatures.

Moreover, there were two strands of demon qi mixed inside; clearly, there wasn't just one demon, but two, and they were of different species—likely a snake demon and a fox spirit.

Lin Fan was also a bit curious: why could a snake demon and a fox demon combine? Was cross-species love a bit too advanced?

No wonder demons all want to transform into human form after achieving success in cultivation; otherwise, it's impossible for different species to fall in love.

"Brother Lin Fan, what's wrong?"

Zhao Linger noticed Lin Fan's expression shift slightly, so she asked curiously.

"Let's go in and meet the demons inside!"

Lin Fan shook his head without explaining, and instead led the two women inside.

"Brother Lin Fan, be careful!"

Zhao Linger shot out magic power from her hand, and a poisonous snake that was attacking was shot dead.

"Stinky guy, look, you're not careful at all. What if you get hit?"

Lin Yueru looked at Lin Fan nervously and complained with concern.

"Just kidding. If a few poisonous snakes could hurt me, wouldn't I have lived in vain? You two should worry about yourselves; later, the two demons will be yours to deal with!"

"If you say we deal with them, we'll deal with them! I want you to know that my Lin family's Seven Absolute Sword Qi isn't just for show!"

Although Lin Yueru had never dealt with demons and felt lacking in confidence, she was unwilling to show weakness in front of Lin Fan.

"Linger will try her best too!"

Zhao Linger also cheered herself on.

"As a man, only relying on women—what an incompetent person!"

Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded from the corner, actually mocking Lin Fan.

"How bold! Only I am allowed to mock the stinky guy. Die!"

Lin Yueru drew her sword and slashed toward the corner. A figure suddenly appeared in the corner—human body with a snake tail, green face and fangs; it was clearly a snake demon.

Because he lost the initiative, he was forced back step by step by Lin Yueru's Seven Absolute Sword Qi, but he quickly seized the moment when Lin Yueru was catching her breath to counterattack.

Although the snake demon hadn't transformed his legs and relied entirely on his snake tail to move, the tail was much swifter than legs and could assist in attacks. Lin Yueru gradually couldn't match him, but she had a strong character and refused to ask Lin Fan for help, gritting her teeth and persisting bitterly.

"Yueru, I'll help you!"

Zhao Linger held the Green Cord Sword and flew forward to assist. With the two women joining forces, and the Green Cord's sharpness being unstoppable, the snake demon was beaten back step by step.

Just as the two women were pressing their advantage and preparing to kill the snake demon, a fox spirit suddenly darted out from the darkness to assist the snake demon. The two demons joined forces to resist the two women, but unfortunately, while Lin Yueru was manageable, Zhao Linger, holding the Green Cord Sword, was not someone they could block.

Soon, the two demons were covered in wounds from the Green Cord. However, seeing that the snake demon and fox demon were willing to block swords for each other, Zhao Linger showed mercy, and the two demons were able to survive.

"Brother Lin Fan, are they good demons or bad demons?"

When the two demons were beaten until they collapsed on the ground, Zhao Linger suddenly pulled Lin Yueru back, came to Lin Fan's side, and asked.

"Good or bad? It depends on how you distinguish it. They kill people and take their hearts to cultivate, wanting to transform into human form—that looks like bad demons. But they only kill evil people, so that doesn't look bad. Yet, they also kidnapped commoner women from down the mountain to serve them for their own selfish desires—that looks like bad demons again."

Lin Fan stood with his arms crossed and analyzed it seriously.

"Pah! You humans capture my wife's kind, peel off their skin to make clothes to wear on your bodies—aren't you bad too?"

The snake demon seemed very unconvinced and couldn't help but shout back at Lin Fan upon hearing this.

"I think you've misunderstood a concept. Your wife is a demon, and those foxes you speak of are wild beasts; they are already two different species. Would you consider monkeys and gorillas to be human?"

Lin Fan glanced at the snake demon; a tiny snake demon actually talking about cause and effect.

"You humans are just hypocritical, cruelly killing us and finding excuses—it's nothing more than the law of the jungle!"

"Well said, the law of the jungle. Today I am strong and you are weak, so I won't talk about acting on behalf of heaven. Since you are weak, you deserve to die!"

Seeing the snake demon still daring to argue, Lin Fan lost his patience. The Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword flew up, and its powerful pressure pinned the snake demon and fox demon firmly to the ground, unable to move.

"Whoosh!"

"Smack!"

A small fox jumped out from the darkness and pounced at Lin Fan, but was repelled by Lin Fan's spiritual power and fell heavily to the ground.

"Mei'er!"

The fox demon cried out in sorrow. The small fox struggled on the ground for a while, then climbed up and ran to the fox demon's side, gently rubbing against the fox demon's face.

"Human, my husband and I killed people and took their hearts, a crime that cannot be forgiven. You are human and naturally opposed to us; killing us is only right and proper. But my child is innocent; can you spare her!"

The fox demon was in great pain under the pressure of the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword, but still pleaded with Lin Fan.

"Human, it's all my fault. Kill me, but spare my wife and child. If that's not possible, just spare my child. Let us husband and wife go to the Yellow Springs together."

The snake demon didn't argue anymore and pleaded with Lin Fan with genuine emotion.

"Brother Lin Fan, why don't we spare them?"

Zhao Linger had a soft heart, so she helped persuade Lin Fan.

"Stinky guy?"

Lin Yueru hesitated, looking like she also wanted to plead for the two demons.

"Aren't you afraid they'll continue to kill people and take hearts? Or even change from only killing bad people to killing both good and bad?"

Lin Fan looked at the two women thoughtfully. Women are truly emotional creatures.

"Linger believes that after today's lesson, they definitely won't dare to do it again. Brother Lin Fan, give them a chance? If we kill them, that small fox will have no one to rely on!"

Zhao Linger felt compassion looking at the small fox whimpering beside the fox demon. ===== CHAPTER 761 =====
