Chapter 8 What is right? What is wrong?
How could Lord Di Sha let it escape so easily? He quickly crossed and danced his palms, and it seemed as if a black dragon was winding, swirling, and taking shape between his palms. Then, he suddenly pushed his palms forward, and two black energies burst out like raging sea dragons breaking through the waves, carrying a world-destroying momentum as they swept towards the three-tailed cat demon.
The three-tailed cat demon sensed the powerful force surging from behind and had to stop its escape. Its body sprang to the side like a spring, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. Even so, it couldn't bear to abandon the three hostages coiled around its tail; they were its trump card for escape, and it couldn't easily give them up.
In that split second, Lord Di Sha had already appeared like a ghost.
At the same time, several figures landed on the rooftops of several rooms in the inn, each wielding a different magical artifact that emitted faint, multicolored light in the darkness, blocking the three-tailed cat demon's attempts to harass them.
With Lord Di Sha's subordinates in place, the three-tailed cat demon knew it could no longer continue its previous plan. A fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and it hurled the hostages on its three tails forward like rag dolls, attempting to use them to block Lord Di Sha's fierce offensive. Then it turned and fled desperately into the darkness to the side.
With a swift movement, Lord Di Sha unleashed several black ribbons that caught the three hostages being pushed towards him, gently yet steadily placing them in a safe corner. Then, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and, like an arrow released from a bow, once again chased after the direction in which the three-tailed cat demon had disappeared.
During the chase, the three-tailed cat demon ran wildly while continuously spewing out streams of eerie green demonic energy from its mouth. The demonic energy was like a materialized venomous python; wherever it went, hard rocks instantly shattered like fragile bubbles, billowing smoke and dust rising into the sky, filling the air with a pungent odor that was almost suffocating.
Lord Di Sha remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged. A faint golden light slowly emanated from his body, a light that was both gentle and incredibly resilient. When the eerie green demonic energy touched the golden light, it was like ice and snow colliding with a raging fire, instantly vanishing like fireworks, leaving only a few wisps of smoke to prove that they had been there.
Enveloped in a ghostly green light, the three-tailed cat demon fled at top speed, only to find that there was no way forward, and only a towering golden barrier stood in front of it.
As soon as the eerie green light of the three-tailed cat demon touched the golden barrier, a bolt of golden lightning swept across the three-tailed cat demon's forepaws along with the eerie green light, and the smell of burning instantly wafted out.
The three-tailed cat demon stared in horror at the golden barrier, the spiritual barrier five miles outside the royal city walls. How could a small three-tailed cat demon like it possibly break through the city walls that guarded the royal city? It turned around in terror, its eyes filled with madness and despair, like a trapped beast struggling.
Its demonic power surged like a raging tide, its three tails stood tall like flagpoles, and its fluffy fur stood on end, resembling a huge and terrifying fan of demonic power. It opened its blood-red maw and let out a roar that could shatter the heavens, its body, imbued with all its demonic power, lunged at the pursuing Earthly Fiend Lord like a cannonball.
Lord Di Sha's expression remained calm and composed, like a deep, still pool. He slowly raised his hands, elegantly drawing a mysterious arc in front of him, and a huge black vortex appeared out of thin air. The vortex was like a black hole in the universe, deep and full of endless suction, frantically drawing in the surrounding air and emitting a deafening roar.
The three-tailed cat demon's attack, the instant it approached the vortex, was like an ant caught in a tornado, instantly and mercilessly swept into it. It itself was also pulled by that powerful, despair-inducing force, inching closer and closer to the depths of the vortex.
The three-tailed cat demon twisted its body desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of death. Its claws carved deep claw marks on the hard ground, sparks flew and stone chips flew everywhere, but all in vain. It could not break free from the powerful restraints that were like the shackles of fate.
Despair gradually appeared in its blood-red eyes. A faint trace of blood flowed from the corner of its lips, gathering into a red line, gradually becoming a stream, and finally condensing into a demon core that shimmered with golden light. Vigorous power emanated from the demon core, and an increasingly strong red light condensed into shape.
Lord Di Sha's eyes sharpened, realizing that the three-tailed cat demon intended to self-destruct its demon core. Like lightning flashing in the cold night, he slammed his long, slender hands together forcefully and said in a deep voice:
"seal up!"
The black vortex closed instantly like the gaping maw of a giant beast, imprisoning the three-tailed cat demon within.
The closure also severed the connection between the three-tailed cat demon and its demon core.
The three-tailed cat demon let out mournful howls within the vortex.
"Demon Ancestor, I was wrong!"
The sound grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.
With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Lord Di Sha caused the black vortex that imprisoned the three-tailed cat demon to gradually condense into a black jade bottle, which he then stored in his sleeve.
The demon core, which had severed its connection with the cat demon, was held in the palm of Di Sha's hand. Looking at the specks of golden light surrounding the demon core, a cold glint flashed in his deep eyes. "Is it really the golden light of merit?"
[Wonderful, isn't it? This is the true master of exorcising demons! A mere remnant of the demon race, disguised as a human and mingling among mortals, deserves to be killed by everyone! This time, I helped you use the passive "Lucky Star" card, attracting the passing Earthly Fiend Lord to appear and deal with this cat demon. Next time, you'll have to handle it yourself.]
The system's sharp, excited voice rang out, but Ning Xiaoxi's heart turned terribly cold. She could even hear gloating in the system's voice.
The final scene was like a star's glamorous exit. The system even gave Lord Di Sha a close-up, with pink bubbles constantly rising and adorning his cold and stern face, making it look rather incongruous.
Ning Xiaoxi covered her eyes, not wanting to see this offensive scene anymore.
[You have to believe me. With my support, we will definitely be able to accomplish the great task of sealing away demons and eliminating evil!] The little dumpling rolled around and jumped in front of Ning Xiaoxi.
At this moment, Ning Xiaoxi recalled the mournful howls of the three-tailed cat demon before its destruction, and felt a pang of unease. As a child raised under the red flag, she had always believed that all demons and monsters were lies and unscientific. Being transported to this ancient dynasty in her dream had already shattered her worldview, and before she could even process the system's task of slaying demons, she was suddenly thrust into a live-streamed demon-catching scene—what was going on?
Ning Xiaoxi huddled up, drawing warmth from her mother's body, as if only this could alleviate the chill rising from the depths of her heart. That three-tailed cat demon clearly had merit, yet it was so utterly destroyed without any regard for that? Do demons truly have no right to exist in this world?
