The Simple Life of Killing Demons-Chapter 70Book 12:
Book 12: Chapter 70
Volume 12 Chapter 70 : Counterattack Battle (4)
"Why isnt Sir Lin Xiang moving?"
"He seems to be stuck in place." Seeing Lin Xiang's strange behavior, the spirits all grew anxious. Could it be that Lin Xiang he had unleashed his godly skills and was now immobilized?
"What do you know? Sir Lin Xiang is just getting prepared by gathering his power. Soon, his inner strength will explode and wipe out these malevolent beings in an instant." One spirit said.
"I see." The spirits did not fully understand Lin Xiang's hardships.
"Master is in trouble. We must find a way to hold off the enemies."
"I know."
Silent Water and Reidy exchanged glances, and they all exerted their greatest strength to stop the advance of the bull-headed demon of the clan.
"These bothersome flies, you neither harm, nor itch, me. Charge!"
At the command of the bull-headed demon of the clan, the demon soldiers, that had yet to enter the through the city gate, unexpectedly appeared on the edge of the city wall. They all jumped down, and began launching attacks against the spirits.
Naturally, the spirits no longer dared to hide away like before, and decided to fight back with all their might. They firmly believed that with Lin Xiang by their side, victory was possible.
Meanwhile, the elongated shadow under Lin Xiang's feet suddenly moved and slowly began to hover, taking on the shape of a person. Standing still in front of Lin Xiang, the shadow emitted an eerie chuckle, "You are truly an interesting human. I find you quite intriguing.
"Lyle, get lost! You are not allowed to touch the opponent I acknowledged! I knew something was off when he stopped moving." Bull-head accelerated its pace, "He is my prey."
"Hehehe." The shadow figure raised its formless hand, shaping a pointed knife with it, "You have no authority to command me."
After speaking, it began to laugh sinisterly at Lin Xiang, If you don't struggle, Ill finish this quickly. Ill slice off your limbs, but don't worry. After becoming a prisoner of the shadows, your limbs can take whatever shape you desire. Hm? Why are you laughing? Are you feeling too delighted?
"Yes, I'm genuinely pleased. I was still worried about how I should lure you out." Lin Xiangs body was immobile, but his head and mouth could still move.
"What!?" The shadowman realized that something went wrong.
However, it did not have time to escape. A burst of white light emanated from within Lin Xiang's body.
"Ugh!" The bull-headed demon of the clan halted in its tracks, shielding its eyes with its hands.
The demon soldiers who were still engaged in combat with the spirits in front also covered their eyes, giving the spirits an opportunity to counterattack.
"Look, Sir Lin Xiangs inner strength has exploded."
"It's almost like hes a God. Are all human beings like that?"
"Its absolutely impossible. Sir Lin Xiang is special."
Despite being further away from the light, the demon soldiers at the back were not directly affected, yet they felt very uncomfortable. Their combat speed had slowed down. It was a situation that was more beneficial to the spirits in battle.
"Light, this cursed light!!!" The roar of the shadowman gradually weakened, until there was silence.
"Hahhah" Heavily panting, Lin Xiang squatted on the ground. Using two light spells, his dragon energy was almost used up. It seemed almost impossible to continue fighting.
"You, human brat." The bull-headed demon of the clan was no longer approaching Lin Xiang. Although Lin Xiang looked exhausted, it was afraid. Yes, as a part of the demon clan, it was feeling fear. It was terrified that Lin Xiang would use that light again.
Although that light could not kill it, creatures of darkness naturally despised and repelled light.
If given a choice to choose between bathing in that light and facing death, Bull-head would choose death without hesitation.
Holding up its massive axe, Bull-head yelled, and a dark red light radiated from the axe. With the strength that could move mountains and rivers, it swung towards Lin Xiang.
A wave of dark-red flames surged towards Lin Xiang.
Kethat's why I said Fire Lotus despised teamwork, hated team combat. In situations like that, surrounded by spirits, she could not use fire to engulf the enemies in flames. She wanted to rescue Lin Xiang, but was caught by the demon soldiers in front of her, blocking her way.
Reidy even frantically attacked the demon soldiers in front of her, but the demon soldiers had no fear of death at all, and their strength was not weak, so Reidy could not move an inch.
Seeing that, Silent Water casted a teleportation spell to Lin Xiang's side. It was the only way she could break free from the encirclement of the demon soldiers. She squatted down to support Lin Xiang, and set up several water walls. Just like before, the walls of water was completely vulnerable to the dark flames.
"Master." Helpless, Silent Water could only hold onto Lin Xiang, trying to block Lin Xiang from the dark flames with her body.
"Human! Silent Water!" The dark flames were about to engulf Lin Xiang and Silent Water as Reidy watched when suddenly, a spark fell from the sky with a whoosh. Bright red flames bloomed like blossoming flowers, intercepting the dark flames.
"Oh?" The bull-headed demon of the clan squinted.
"Its you, Lady Valarie." A petite red-haired girl stood before Silent Water.
Valarie was expressionless as always. Her clothes were somewhat tattered, and her crimson armor on her arm shone like blood pearls in the reflection of the flames.
"Been a while since we last met."
"Phew~ ValarieThank you so much." Lin Xiang sat down on the ground. He really could not move at all just now.
"Are you okay." Valarie turned around, Lin Xiang's wry smile was reflected in her bright red eyes.
"Ha"
The flames dissipated, and Bull-head stood there, getting a clear view of Valarie, "A dragon? And it's a dragon in human form too. When did the dragons start meddling in others business?"
"I don't understand cow language." Valarie could not comprehend the language of the world beyond the sky.
"Haha, it's asking why you meddling in others business." Valaries actions amused Lin Xiang, making him burst into laughter.
"Hm. Does helping a friend count as meddling?"
"Youre right, it doesn't count."
"Then say no more." Valarie clenched her tiny fist. Dragging a trail of fire, she dashed towards the bull-headed demon of the clan.
"Come on! Let me try dragon slaying today!" Bull-head raised its huge axe and charged at Valarie.
The clash between dark fire and bright fire was a fiery spectacle.
"I'm really useless." Lin Xiang gazed at Valarie, then at the dead spirits around him, and laughed at himself self-deprecatingly.
"No! Master, don't say that. Those fallen spirits would feel sad." Silent Water helped Lin Xiang up.
"Master, look." Following Silent Water's gaze, Lin Xiang saw the spirits fighting the demon soldiers, "Everyone dares to face such terrifying enemies because of Master. They fight bravely because of you, Master. Despite the betrayal of their own kind, having Master, who is human, to step up and help them has let the desperate spirits see hope. Therefore, Master, you cannot say that you are useless. Master cannot save all the spirits, but Master can save most of the spirits."
Lin Xiang did not speak. He motioned for Silent Water to let go of him, and stood on his own.
The fight between Valarie and Bull-head was truly in full swing as their flames clased in a spectacular display.
"I shouldn't measure my abilities solely by the standards of the Dragon Gods skills. It's already impressive for me as a mere mortal to be able to use their abilities. I shouldn't have asked for too much. What I need now is to use my own strength to defeat the enemies." Lin Xiang gripped on the sword handle and the cold sword emitted a faint blue light.
Exactly. Youve always felt weak, because youve been using our abilities, which quickly drained your energy. If dragon energy is converted into spiritual power, then it will be a very huge amount of energy. It depends on whether your body and soul can handle it. Well Ill end my words of encouragement here, the wind spirit is in trouble, I suggest you go and help her.
Wind spirit? Wind Chimes? Lin Xiang had no clue where Wind Chimes was.
"Clang." A piece of metal fell to the ground. Lin Xiang fixed his attention and noticed a dagger.
He abruptly looked up to see two dark figures hovering closely together in the air. Dark clouds parted, and the faint light of the moon illuminated the two dark images.
Lin Xiang's pupils dilated suddenly as he focused, because what he saw in his eyes was that the bronze-skinned female demon of the clan had pierced her nails into Wind Chimess abdomen.
