Chapter 386: First Demon Vanquishment (1) Translator: CKtalon

The Yu familys caravan had made plenty of trips to and from the various counties of Chengan Prefecture, so they naturally had experience dealing with demons. The 12 carriages in the caravan were covered in talisman paper from head to tail. No matter where the demon infiltrated, the talisman paper would sense it!

The flames formed by the burning talisman followed the demonic aura and crashed into the blurry figure. With a whoosh, the flames were extinguished.

Demon Slaying Arrows! With a loud shout, the nine sharpshooters in the caravan simultaneously drew a special arrow from their quivers. These arrows were engraved with a large number of runes that contained Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers.

The nine of them drew their bows and shot out arrows in one go, targeting the demon.

Sharpshooters who could carry Demon Slaying Arrows were experts who had basic mastery in martial arts. Their strength and speed were extremely high, and the nine arrows arrived in front of the demon in the blink of an eye.

!!

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The demon moved like a ghost, dodging three of the arrows. The other six arrows penetrated his body.

When they scored a hit, every arrow erupted with powerful Dharmic powers. The shafts turned to dust under the intense impact, and the defunct metal arrows fell to the ground.

Woo, it really hurts.

The demon stabilized himself in midairit was a tall, thin, and hooked-nosed man. The wounds on his body quickly healed, and his eyes suffused a bloody glow as he swept his gaze across the caravan.

Although there was mist around him, most people still saw the demon clearly and saw its blood-colored eyes.

Its a demon.

A demon! Many people in the caravan panicked.

Dont panic. The Yu familys company can deal with this demon, someone shouted.

Everyone present had heard of the legends of demons since they were young, so nobody dared to run around. They had the numbers in the caravan, and there were even experts from the Yu familys caravan putting up a resistance. If they left the caravan they would die if they encountered demons.

Theres actually a demon. Zhao Zhens heart trembled in surprise. This is the first time Im seeing one in my life.

Stay away. Old Master Zhao was nervous and solemn. Having lived for so long, he knew how terrifying demons were.

Xu Jingming had already walked forward in the chaos, and Wu Qi kept following by his young masters side.

Xu Jingming looked at the demon. Ordinary talismans cant injure him at all. When the six Demon Slaying Arrows hit him he suffered light injuries!

Xu Jingming was also determining the demons strength. If he encountered an Earth Demon, he would naturally turn around and flee without a word!

Third Master Yuwho was in charge of the Yu familys caravanalso realized that the six Demon Slaying Arrows failed to deal significant damage and felt that things were going south.

Demon, Third Master Yu shouted and held a golden token in his hand. He said loudly, This is a True Fire Token. If you dont retreat, Ill let you have a taste of true fire.

So what if its the True Fire Token? All of you will die today! The demon cackled and lunged at the nearest caravan guard.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Another nine Demon Slaying Arrows enveloped the demon.

Run! Third Master Yu shouted indignantly.

Everyone in the caravan understood what it meant when they heard the voicethe demon was too strong! The Yu family caravan couldnt hold it back either.

The caravan had long formulated an escape plan, and they carried precious items with them as they fled.

Its over. Its over. To encounter this while migrating my entire family to the prefecture capital Old Master Zhaos face turned pale as he fled with his son and his other family members.

Chen Qi, run, Zhao Zhen shouted at the distant Xu Jingming.

At this moment, Xu Jingming was relatively close to the demon.

I actually chanced upon such a powerful old demon. The Demon Slaying Arrows are useless; even the True Fire Token cant scare him away. Third Master Yu felt bitter. Ordinary newborn Human Demons or ordinary Human Demons can usually be seriously injured or even killed by Demon Slaying Arrows. We can only escape with our precious items! Many people will probably die. The loss of personnel and goods will probably cost me more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Although the profits from doing business were very high, the risks were also high!

Ive escorted caravans for 20 years and have encountered demons more than 30 times, but this is the third time theyve forced me to flee, right? Third Master Yu thought to himself. He carried the True Fire Token, so a demon wouldnt target him under normal circumstances! After all, if he was forced into a corner, Third Master Yu could only unleash the True Fire Token.

Third Master Yu quickly rushed to his nephew in the caravan and prepared to escape with him.

Third Uncle, look! His nephew looked into the distance in shock.

Third Master Yu turned his head and saw that in the mist, a net covered in starlight had already enveloped and restrained the demon.

A youth in a starlight robe stood closest to him and looked at the demon without any fear.

The others had long stayed far away.

Demon Vanquisher!

The demon let out a hoarse roar that echoed throughout the convoy, attracting the attention of many people who were fleeing.

Its a Demon Vanquisher.

Theres a Demon Vanquisher! Were saved!

Everyone was excited as they looked at the youth in the starlight robe. From Xu Jingmings current attire, it was obvious that he was a legendary Demon Vanquisher.

Huh? Zhao Zhen and Old Master Zhaos family looked at the current Xu Jingming in surprise. The companion they had chatted with and ate with along the way was actually a Demon Vanquisher?

Open!!! The body of the demonwho looked like a thin, hook-nosed manwas expanding. His hands were like sharp claws that grabbed the net in a bid to tear it apart.

He struggled with all his might, alternately charging left and right. He tried his best to kick and tear with his hands and feet.

It took him a few seconds before one of the starlight ropes snapped with a bang, causing the starlight in the net to dim slightly. This delighted the demon, and he tore at it with all his might.
