Just A Daoist Who Occasionally Kicks Ass-Chapter 487: Hah, Double Standard! Sword Duel!? A Passage Appears!

“We’re not useless; we’re proper exorcists!” They intended to vent all their anger on the red-dress woman.

The red-dress woman’s eyes turned cold, a dangerous curve appearing at the corner of her lips. The fury in her heart finally reached a tipping point.

“Well, if I don’t show my wrath, they’ll really take me for a pushover.” Her eyes widened like an enraged tigress. The Asura Demon Sword in her hands erupted with brilliant red light, illuminating the heavens.

With a single slash, she struck forward. This slash was brimming with deadly intent, and the flow of time around seemed to slow down due to the overwhelming killing aura radiating from her sword.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhang Wei, who had acted first, bore the brunt. His expression changed as the four sharp great swords he summoned were instantly shattered. The Taiji Diagram above his head also cracked, splitting into pieces before dissolving into nothingness.

Damn it! My great swords! Zhang Wei screamed in his heart, his entire body sent flying backward by the intense sword energy.

Beside him, Master Zhiqing and the monk cousins were also severely affected. Their aura weakened, and blood streamed across their bodies.

Earlier, Master Zhiqing had intercepted the residual energy of the sword strike to protect the cousins with his Vajra-strengthened Buddhist body. Otherwise, the cousins would have likely been dead by now.

They never expected that, in such a dangerous town, they could survive hiding among piles of corpses, only to nearly be killed later because of blindly following the action. If they had died like that, they would have truly become a laughing stock!

At this time, Zhang Wei’s body was bleeding continuously, and his face was extremely pale. Although the injuries weren’t fatal, his Taiji Diagram, the strongest magical artifact he possessed, was destroyed. He didn’t even have time to mourn it.

With a pfft, he spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly collapsed. His face filled with shock as he stared at the woman in the red dress. Who exactly was this woman!? That sword strike just now was terrifying!!

Li Yanchu had originally drawn his bow to fire, but he couldn’t help twitching the corner of his mouth. His teammate had almost been wiped out in one move! What the heck was that?!

He was a little stunned. In fact, Zhang Wei and the others were even more stunned. Earlier, they had seen Li Yanchu wielding the massive bow, elegantly suppressing the red-dress woman, leaving her powerless to resist. They had assumed she was weak and could easily be handled, giving them a false sense of confidence. Just as they were about to feel triumphant, in the blink of an eye, they were slapped in the face!

Zhang Wei’s face turned ashen, and he didn’t dare meet Liu Jun’s eyes. I’m really not useless; it’s just that woman is too strong!

They all instinctively glanced at Li Yanchu, awe-struck. How strong must the young Daoist be to suppress this woman while continuously shooting arrows at her!? Li Yanchu hadn’t done much, yet he silently and invisibly showcased his prowess, earning the admiration of everyone.

However, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. That woman had almost wiped out his teammate, stirring deadly intent within him. If, at the critical moment, she killed his teammate with a single strike, his mission would have been in vain!

Earlier, Zhang Wei had been able to summon the Taiji Diagram; naturally, Li Yanchu could also wield many magical artifacts.

Boom!

He directly summoned the Heaven-Illuminating Seal, a large, ancient seal that stretched out with the wind.

Divine fire swept across the sky as the sun blazed and scorched the heavens. The red-dress woman had just used her Asura Demon Sword. Her mind now consumed with murderous intent, she had originally considered the handsome young Daoist amiable because he had helped free her from the control of the blood corruption.

But seeing that he was ungrateful, she thought it better to simply kill him.

Boom!

She unleashed the power of her Asura Demon Sword again, slashing forward. The sword energy collided with the divine fire, sparking a storm of fire!

Her aura visibly weakened, as the previous strike had consumed too much of her strength. Coupled with the overwhelming Heaven-Illuminating Seal fire, her demonic energy was suppressed. For this moment, their attacks were nearly evenly matched.

“Hmph!” Li Yanchu snorted coldly, his voice like thunder.

Then, a legendary sword appeared in his palm.

Blazing Inferno!

The ancient sword unleashed razor-sharp energy, cutting through the air as a long rainbow, driving the red-dress woman into the ground. Truly, he was unstoppable!

The red-dress woman hadn’t expected the young Daoist to wield such powerful artifacts. Earlier, weakened, she couldn’t resist the Blazing Inferno. Now, the sword erupted with powerful flames, continuously burning her body as he pinned her firmly to the ground.

The Asura Demon Sword in the red-dress woman’s hand erupted with soaring demonic energy, forcing back the Blazing Inferno. At the same time, she slowly stood up, her gaze toward Li Yanchu filled with murderous intent.

“Ungrateful fool, you’re looking for death!” the red-dress woman shouted coldly.

She unleashed the Asura Demon Sword again. A red mark appeared between her brows as her internal power continuously poured into the sword. Her aura surged higher and higher, radiating tremendous pressure.

But soon, she realized an awkward problem: her strength wasn’t sufficient to unleash the sword’s full power. After all, she had just broken free from the Eight Trigrams Tower.

Previously, she had been weakened, imprisoned as a malevolent spirit at the base of the tower, and partially corrupted by black tainted blood, becoming a hideous, grotesque monster. Now, freshly freed and reborn, her aura had not yet fully recovered. Continuously wielding this immensely powerful sword was overwhelming her!

“Roarrrrr!”

At this moment, the massive demon beside her flared with a surge of scarlet light in its eyes. Its body became icy and hardened, and a set of terrifying armor slowly materialized around it.

The chest-mouthed demon transformed into a grim, armored general. Its face was hidden behind a mask, expression unreadable. Now, the aura of this black-armored general was incredibly fearsome, far more condensed and terrifying than before.

“You manifested true spirit, you wretched thing! How much of my power have you stolen?” the red-dress woman roared, her rage and resentment surging to the heavens.

The black-armored general’s gaze turned icy as it looked at her. The next instant, it swung its blade in a deadly strike at an astonishingly fast speed!

Clang!

A thunderous sound echoed through the world as the red-dress woman’s Asura Demon Sword intercepted the vicious strike of the black-armored general. However, her own aura weakened, collapsing rapidly.

She was undeniably unlucky. Without Li Yanchu’s intervention earlier, she might have been able to suppress the consciousness born from the gluttonous remnant soul. But now, this fierce demon had absorbed a large portion of the blood moon’s energy, becoming a presence that even made her heart shudder.

“Daoist Master Li, I can try to open a passage to leave this place!” Master Zhiqing closed his eyes and spoke after sensing the situation.
