Chapter 851: False Incense
Lan Yingying calmly approached the demon after it was released from the Demon Sealing Zone.
‘I wasn’t able to help my parents or my grandparents in the Mystic Realm, but I have grown stronger. If I cannot even deal with a single demon, I am not fit to serve him.’ Lan Yingying held a solemn expression on her face.
Her black hair suddenly turned white, and her azure eyes turned pink.
“What kind of magical beast are you? You must be really special if you can transform into a human at that level of cultivation.” The demon licked its lips as it glared at Lan Yingying.
“Magical beast? Try Divine Beast.” She calmly responded.
“She’s a Divine Beast…?”
The demons were surprised to learn that Lan Yingying was actually a Divine Beast.
“Hahaha! What luck! I have never tasted flesh or blood from a Divine Beast before! You’ll be my first!” The demon fighting her began laughing out loud.
“I cannot wait!”
The demon suddenly flew at Lan Yingying with its mouth wide open.
“Sacred Fire!”
Lan Yingying lifted her arm and pointed her palm at the incoming demon before shooting a large ball of white flames at it.
Due to its arrogance and confidence in its immortal body, the demon didn’t even bother blocking or avoiding the flames and ran straight into it, allowing the flames to consume its body.
“Is this all you’ve got?! Flames don’t work against us demons!”
Despite its whole body being engulfed in flames, the demon did not appear even slightly worried about the flames and continued to rush at Lan Yingying, as it was confident that it could easily regenerate faster than the flames could destroy it.
“Eat this, Bloody—” The demon suddenly halted its movements when it was about to launch an attack on Lan Yingying.
“W-What’s happening to my body? Why aren’t my injuries recovering?!” The demon looked down at its body with a puzzled face.
“What is this?! What the fuck did you do?!” The demon immediately started trying to put out the white flames burning its body, but its efforts were futile, as the flames continued to slowly destroy the demon’s body.
Lan Yingying watched the demon slowly being consumed by her Sacred Fire and said, “My Sacred Fire is of divine attributes, which is really effective against demons. I hope you like it.”
“Divine attributes?! Don’t fuck with me, you damn beast!” The demon stopped trying to put out the flames and started attacking Lan Yingying, hoping that he’d kill her before the flames completely consumed it.
Even though the demon could not feel any pain from the Sacred Fire, its movements were greatly affected by the injuries on its body, making it incredibly sluggish and easy to dodge for Lan Yingying.
‘It’s not dying fast enough… I need something stronger.’ Lan Yingying thought to herself as she distanced herself from the demon.
“Fiery Lotus!”
Lan Yingying took a moment to create a beautiful lotus made out of her Sacred Fire before launching it at the demon.
BOOM!
The entire underground shook briefly when the Fiery Lotus exploded in front of the demon. “AAAAAHHHHH!” The demon released one last deafening roar before Lan Yingying’s Sacred Flames completely erased it from existence.
After killing the demon, Lan Yingying went to collect its demon core.
‘Unbelievable… She actually took care of that demon with relative ease…’ Feng Yuxiang thought to herself after witnessing Lan Yingying’s prowess.
“Yingying, your Sacred Fire has improved tremendously since I last saw it.” Yuan said to her with a smile on his face.
“Thank you, but I am not satisfied. Compared to my grandparents, my Sacred Fire is still too weak. The only reason I won so quickly is because that demon had underestimated my flames.” Lan Yingying said.
“Then would you like to fight another demon?” Yuan asked.
Lan Yingying nodded her head without any hesitation.
“Alright, give me a moment.”
He turned to look at the seven demons remaining, and they all held a solemn expression on their faces.
“Let’s continue with the questioning. Whoever answers my questions will get to fight my friend.” He said to them.
“My next question is… What trick did you use to conceal your scent and the hidden passage?”
“…”
The demons hesitated to answer his question.
“I won’t ask again.” Yuan raised his hand, causing the golden swords to tremble.
“A-A treasure!” One of the demons suddenly said.
“Oh? Tell me about this treasure.” Yuan turned to look at this demon that was also a peak Spirit Lord.
“I-It’s a treasure that can create realistic illusions and conceals presences to a certain extent. We used it to conceal the hidden passage and erase our presence and smell.”
“Where is this treasure now?” Yuan continued asking.
The demon turned to look at a certain house in the city below and pointed to it, “It’s in that building.”
“Allow me, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang said to him before going down to the city and searching the building with the treasure.
She returned a few minutes later with what appeared to be an incense holder made out of jade.
“Here you go, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang handed him the treasure.
“Oh… So this is the treasure, huh. I wasn’t expecting it to have such an appearance.”
[False Incense]
[Grade: Ancient]
[Quality: Peak]
[Description: Allows the user to create realistic illusions and conceal presences. Can only have one illusion active at a time.]
“Wow, this is a really useful treasure.” Yuan inspected the treasure with a smile on his face before storing it inside his spatial ring.
“Alright, you can fight my friend now.”
He turned to look at Lan Yingying, “Whenever you’re ready.”
“I am ready.” She nodded.
Yuan removed the demon from the Demon Sealing Zone a moment later.
Lan Yingying and the demon began fighting each other shortly after.
[Sacred Fire!]
However, as expected, the demon didn’t dare to touch her Sacred Fire and dodged it instead.
“You only defeated the previous demon because of its arrogance! I won’t make the same mistake!” The demon laughed as it launched a counterattack.
“Bloodshot!”
Hundreds of red projectiles flew at Lan Yingying.
[Sacred Fire!]
Lan Yingying created a wall of fire before her, instantly burning all of the projectiles that touched it.
‘Looks like I have to go all out if I want to defeat this demon.’ Lan Yingying said to herself before transforming into her beast form.
“Wow… Not only did her strength grow but even her size grew a substantial amount…” Yuan mumbled in a low voice when he stared at Lan Yingying, who was now a massive serpent..
