Guo Furong wept softly.
"Don't cry! The more you cry, the happier it will be. Even if it means death, we must not let it have its way. Don't tarnish your master's reputation!"
Chu Yang couldn't think of any other way to comfort Guo Furong, so he could only say this.
He was desperately trying to find a way to break the deadlock, but unfortunately his martial arts skills were too poor, and all his efforts were in vain.
Guo Furong gradually stopped crying, and her face became resolute. Her senior brother was right. Her father was Guo Juxia, and she couldn't let him down.
Having lost its source of joy, the demon's eyes turned fierce, and it opened its mouth to bite down hard.
Just now.
"Sunflower acupoint hand!"
A white shadow flashed past the demon at lightning speed, so fast that the demon couldn't even see the person's movements. The demon froze for a moment and stood still.
"Haha, Lao Bai, you're amazing!"
"Zhan Tang, you're amazing!"
Tong Xiangyu, Lü Xiucai, and the others didn't dare to go over and could only stand in the passageway between the lobby and the backyard to cheer each other on.
Old Xing, the head constable in black robes, trembled all over as he looked at the enormous demon. He gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and walked over.
With his back to the demons, Bai Zhantang clapped his hands smugly, "It's been so many years since I last made a move, but I didn't expect you to still be as sharp as ever!"
Old Xing, who was about to reach Bai Zhantang, suddenly changed his expression.
Bai Zhantang was startled. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt as if his waist had been hit hard by a heavy object. He instantly lost consciousness and crashed into the pile of firewood by the wall.
The demon's snake tail swept across again. Old Xing prepared to block with his knife, but as expected, he was swept away and landed in front of Tong Xiangyu and the others!
Everyone turned pale, and the same thought popped into their minds.
Finished!
Stunned and disoriented, Bai Zhantang stared blankly at the demon and muttered, "Human acupoints don't work on it. I'm such an idiot..."
The demon lowered its head greedily, intending to devour everyone in the courtyard.
Tong Xiangyu and the others hugged each other and wept bitterly.
"I told you to run! You guys insisted on coming to the backyard, now look what happened..."
"Shopkeeper, didn't you say you were sending this?"
"I said I'd come, and I did. I usually tell you all to work hard, but none of you listen to me. Why are you being so obedient now?"
"Shopkeeper, that's a bit unreasonable of you."
"I'm about to die, what's the point of reasoning with you!"
"Xiangyu, don't cry. There's something I want to tell you that's been on my mind."
“Zhan Tang…”
As the two were entwined in sorrowful tenderness, they suddenly heard a loud roar coming from behind the demon.
"I told you to eat me first, don't you even know who the main course is? This shabby inn looks like it's poorly managed, the manager and staff are all emaciated from hunger, what good food could there be?"
"You're so clueless, you're practically a nobody among demons, aren't you?"
The demon paused, slowly turned around and stared at Chu Yang. This human had been trying to provoke him, and now he had succeeded.
"Junior sister, I'm sorry. I've tricked you this time. This bastard ate me, and you'll probably be next."
"It's alright, senior brother. I'm not afraid. It's enough to buy these people time to escape."
Chu Yang smiled with relief. Guo Furong, who had been clamoring to be a great hero all day long, finally showed a bit of the spirit of a great hero on her deathbed.
The demon opened its mouth and almost swallowed Chu Yang's entire body.
Guo Furong cried out in a hoarse voice.
Seeing Chu Yang's selfless act, Bai Zhantang and the others were speechless with shock.
In that instant, the whole world froze!
Soul Palace.
When Da Ming Chu Yang opened his eyes, the demons disappeared from his sight, leaving only a few strange people fiddling with instruments he couldn't understand.
"I've already said this won't work. These two bloodlines are too different and incompatible!"
"What if it mutates? We have to give it a try!"
"What kind of science is gambling on odds? That's metaphysics!"
"It's okay, I'm European!"
"Get out of my lab if you're unlucky."
After arguing for a long time, they finally realized there was another person in the palace.
"Are you alright? You look like you've been quite frightened. Before you came here, you weren't in a good situation, were you?"
Spellsman Chu Yang smiled and helped up Da Ming Chu Yang, jokingly saying, "You'll get used to it. Before I came here, I was almost killed by the Spell Spirit."
The two synchronized the moment they touched.
Da Ming Chu Yang immediately understood the identities of these people and this mysterious palace.
"Your world is quite interesting." Spellcaster Chu Yang said with great curiosity, "What exactly are these so-called demons? They don't seem to be simple monsters."
Da Ming Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've only seen it a few times. I've only seen it from afar before. This is the first time I've been up close. It feels disgusting to me, even more disgusting than a cursed spirit."
The others also synchronized with Da Ming Chu Yang's memories and shared some of their experiences with him.
A moment later, Da Ming Chu Yang returned to the world.
The frozen world came to life again.
Guo Furong was still crying and shouting.
Tong Xiangyu and the others had not yet left.
The demon's body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.
It exploded with a deafening roar before their shocked eyes!
A powerful bolt of lightning suddenly exploded, illuminating the entire backyard of Tongfu Inn, as if divine punishment had descended upon the world.
"My God, why is it thundering?!"
"My god, it's going to deafen me!"
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, I can't see."
"Just close your eyes and rest for a while."
"Where is that demon?"
"Struck by lightning and shattered! It's truly a blessing from heaven, a divine intervention!"
The joy of surviving the ordeal brought smiles to everyone's faces, except for Guo Furong, who frantically rushed towards the demon's remains, trying to find Chu Yang among the pile of charred flesh.
"Senior brother! Senior brother!"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you accompany me on my adventures!"
"If it weren't for me, you'd still be enjoying a life of luxury in the capital right now..."
Guo Furong was on the verge of collapse. She should have let the demon eat her immediately, so that her senior brother wouldn't have died.
Tong Xiangyu slowly approached her.
Even though the guys were holding Tong Xiangyu's hand tightly, she was still walking towards Guo Furong's position.
Li Dazui hurriedly shouted, "Shopkeeper, no! Those are the Male and Female Demons!"
Tong Xiangyu flew into a rage and said, "Didn't you see what happened just now? They risked their lives to save us, and you're still calling them a pair of 'male and female demons'? It's clearly a misunderstanding on our part!"
Lu Xiucai shook his head and subconsciously said, "Not necessarily. As the saying goes, a dying man's words are often the best..."
"Shut up!"
The crowd retorted angrily.
Lu Xiucai shrank back and quieted down.
Tong Xiangyu lifted her skirt and ran to Guo Furong's side to help her search for Chu Yang among a pile of meat.
Seeing this, others rushed over to help.
Old Xing stood to the side with a worried look on his face, feeling disgusted by the scene; the smell of burnt meat alone made him want to vomit.
"What are you still standing there for, Lao Xing?!"
Tong Xiangyu looked up at him coldly, "They saved your life, don't forget who brought the demons!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Old Xing felt his conscience had been greatly hurt, and disregarding his disgust, he crawled into the pile of meat and started poking around.
"Sigh... I'm here..."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Guo Furong was overjoyed. She rushed towards the sound and dug Chu Yang out from a pile of bloody filth.
Chu Yang was fine, but he was disgusted by the experience.
