Chapter 283: Defense Against The Demons 10

Demon General

/*unedited*/

The purple light shone right through his eyes as the rays of the sun pass through the haze. Right in front of him squat a young woman with almost impeccable beauty. Her silver hair flowing through the air gives a picturesque feeling of light and splendor.

Qian Li has searched for Shin Jiao after 2 days of not getting in touch. She became worried because the place that he has entered is truly a dangerous one. According to the soldiers in the front line fortress, that place is a death trap and none has ever returned for those who ventured there.

Hearing her words, Shin Jiao was awoken from his stupor and absentmindedness.

"Huh?! Why… why are you here? How did you arrive at this place?" Shin Jiao said as he regained himself.

He can already remember what happened and the madness he experienced. It was as if he was possessed by some unknown intelligence giving him rich knowledge in alchemy and medicine. This made him almost lost his mind as he remembers those formulas and some advance concocting techniques. Lucky for him his dantian is artificial and he can now even use a core of a level 5 beast although with difficulty. But for those two days, he has gained so much and even his physique has now reached the late stages of the gold core realm.

"I was… I was worried. I didn't know what to do." Qian Li said as she sadly leans closer and gives Shin Jiao a hug.

The worry in her eyes made him feel a bit guilty for being too engrossed in alchemy.

While in her embrace, Shin Jiao carefully inspects himself and found that the spheres in his dantian has also reached the 49th and is bordering a breakthrough.

He knows that if he reached the 50th sphere then he can now have the strength to fix Gubu's ring and the many resources he has collected within. Plus inside the ring, he still has a bit of the Black stone which he can use to craft stronger weapons.

"Hey, we can go back now." Shin Jiao said as he calmly patted her back.

As she lets him go, Shin Jiao gave her a light kiss as they separated.

He quickly gathered the entire pill and the potion bottles around them which amount to thousands. He could not imagine how he was able to make that many in the span of just two days. Of course, rest is not an option for him added by the fact that his body was exposed to lots of medicinal aromas, hence his physique has improved.

Shin Jiao walked towards the man standing just outside the boundary of the lake. He has noticed this ghost while gathering the pills.

Taking out a pill bottle, Shin Jiao took out a single white pill.

"This is a pill where your soul can temporarily reside and be nourished… get in." Shin Jiao beckoned as he stretched forth his hand.

Although a bit hesitant, Hun Jingan still jumped towards the pill and was sucked inside.

"Senior, this is… this is great! I can see everything outside from here. I can even extend my consciousness for about 100 meters. This is awesome. What is this pill called?"

"Soul fire pill." Shin Jiao said as he let go of the pill.

The pill floated as it excitedly flew around Shin Jiao.

"Haha… this is like I'm in a new body."

"Don't get excited too soon… This pill is just a temporary resident for your soul. I still need to construct a new temporary physical body for you. That way the pill can be preserved." Shin Jiao warned.

"Okay we need to leave this place now, let's go!" Shin Jiao said.

"Master, the airship is above us." Qian Li said as she pointed up.

However, as they turned their heads upwards, they saw a beam of light hitting the airship.

Kaboom!!!

The group covered their eyes as a blinding explosion suddenly erupted turning the floating airship into a bunch of melted metal as it crashed to the ground.

"Enemy?" Qian Li muttered as she scanned the surrounding sky.

Shin Jiao suddenly grabbed her as he took out his cloak and covered both of them.

The two didn't move and just stayed in place as they carefully observe the surrounding. However, they were alarmed because right now, there is a group of tall wraiths moving towards their direction.

These vengeful ghosts may have been alarmed by the explosion and immediately run to this place. Shin Jiao's cloaking device might work on living, but for the ghost who can see through disguises, it's useless.

So without a choice, he grabs, Qian Li's waist and carried her as they run towards the lake followed by a floating pill.

However, when they reached the outskirts of the lake, a bunch of random light was thrown towards the area as it was bombarded by a powerful explosion.

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Loudly rang the explosions which almost turned everything upside down.

Although Shin Jiao and Qian Li escaped the wraiths by going inside the barrier they didn't escape the random projectiles that were sent to the lake and were hit by one of them.

Although it landed just beside them, the strong force threw the two apart.

Many projectiles were sent towards them and both were injured by it. The projectiles seem weird as they look like pieces of sharp bony materials.

The ringing on his head didn't stop as Shin Jiao tried to recover his senses. And the first thing that comes to his mind is the safety of Qian Li.

When they were hit, he clearly saw that a lot of that shrapnel hit her.

"Qian Li! Qian Li!" shouted Shin Jiao as he roams his vision around him.

Then from the corner of his eyes, he saw her figure sprawled near the lake's shore with blood all over her body.

Without a second thought, Shin Jiao ran towards her.

Though his body is also wounded his physique is stronger and those shrapnels are unable to hurt him.

What surprised Shin Jiao is that his shield was actually broken by the impact which rendered it useless for defense.

As he ran, he suddenly noticed a large figure floating in the sky above them.

The figure is reddish and looks like a large beast. The lower half of its body looks like that of a bull, its body is bulky with its back full of long one-meter length needles, the head it that of a man with two long jet black horns.

"A demon!" Shin Jiao muttered.

He immediately took out a green pill and threw it towards the floating pill. When that green pill touched the floating pill it just sticks beside it.

"Give it to her immediately!" shouted Shin Jiao.

Although a bit startled that there is a pill sticking on him, Hun Jingan immediately followed Shin Jiao's command and flew towards Qian Li.

"So… these are the so-called cultivators of this land… weak! The two of you are just weaklings. Keke…" the demon said in a voice that came from the depth of hell itself.

"A thing that only knows how to ambush has no right to say that I am weak… coward." Shin Jiao said with a taunting voice.

The demon suddenly squinted his eyes as he observes Shin Jiao's sorry-looking appearance.

Shin Jiao's cloak has already been ripped to shreds and is now useless, so the demon felt confident in facing him.

A moment ago, when it saw Shin Jiao and Qian Li's figure it immediately attacked the airship. But then it saw that they suddenly vanished, and it was immediately alarmed.

However, with the demon's experience in battle; it immediately picks out traces of footsteps on the purple ground and immediately bombarded the area where they might be running to. And so, it luckily hit its target.

Now the human in front of it is calling it a coward with the look of contempt making the demon angry.

"I am a demon general! How dare you say I'm a coward!" it shouted in its demonic language.

Shin Jiao was able to understand it due to his knowledge in ancient runes, which is the source of almost all the language in this world.

"A demon general, huh. This might be a hard fight." Shin Jiao muttered as he immediately took out his katana and a semi-automatic rifle.

"So you want to fight me as a warrior then let me indulge you." the demon general said as he took out two needles from its back and wield them like weapons.

Shin Jiao didn't want to spend too much time fighting against this demon. His concern right now is the defenseless Qian Li. All he wanted is to distract the demon and get its attention towards himself so that Qian Li would be safe.

Without a word, Shin Jiao moved at the same time shot out a bullet towards the demon general.

When it saw Shin Jiao's action is sneered.

While floating on air, it didn't even dodge the bullet. Because the bullet is small and an arrow is bigger than it, the demon general didn't even put up its shield.

If an arrow could not hurt its body then how can a small insignificant object hurt it?

However, the demon general suddenly noticed something. It was the aura covering the small projectile.

It is actually covered in a holy aura.

Because Shin Jiao is inside the lake which is a place covered in Holy Qi, the bullet he sent was also enveloped with a small layer of Holy Qi.

When the demon general wanted to dodge the bullet, it was already too late. The bullet dug inside the reddish flesh of its shoulder. The demon was lucky enough to move a bit that the bullet missed its heart and only hit its shoulder.

Yet, before it can get angry, the demon was startled to see a young man appearing in front of it also floating in the air and already waving his sword towards its head.
