Chapter 387: First Demon Vanquishment (2)

“That demon is about to escape,” someone shouted in panic.

Everyone in the caravan was very uneasy.?Could it be that this Demon Vanquisher can’t defeat this demon?

Xu Jingming looked up and commented to himself,?With my Third Realm Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers, my greater mastery Entrapment Net is indeed tough enough! It can at least last for a few seconds, preventing this demon from escaping. It has only ripped apart one or two starlight ropes, but the entire net hasn’t collapsed.

Although he had mastered three spells, this was the first time he was using them in battle. He naturally had to confirm the pros and cons of the spells so that he could fight enemies better in the future.

Roar!

Upon hearing the demon’s ear-piercing voice that echoed in an area of one to two kilometers, many people in the caravan covered their ears in horror.

The demon finally ripped off two more starlight ropes and crawled out of the hole. Only then did Xu Jingming form a hand seal, and his Dharmic powers drew upon the power of heaven and earth.

“Begone!” he shouted.

Lightning appeared out of thin air and twisted like a snake. It was dazzling, and the moment it appeared, it struck down at the demon.

Bang!

The lightning struck, and there was a ringing boom.

With just one strike, the demon—who had most of its body out of the net—was left with several holes dotting its body as if it were leaking air. The demon’s consciousness instantly went blank from the explosion and was completely stunned.

Bolt was extremely powerful against demons! In terms of destructive power, it was much more terrifying than the Entrapment Net.

After striking out with the first bolt of lightning, Xu Jingming didn’t stop at all and channeled his Dharmic powers.

Bang! Bang!

After the first bolt of lightning struck, a second and third bolt descended!

Instacasting the spells resulted in non-stop lightning strikes! The three bolts of lightning locked onto the demon and chased after it.

Why is this Bolt so terrifying??The demon had just regained consciousness when he saw the second bolt of lightning land in front of him.

Bang!?

The bolt of lightning exploded in the demon’s consciousness.

The second bolt of lightning completely shattered the demon’s body!

The third bolt of lightning reduced the demon into nothingness! Only a trace of his intrinsic demonic aura remained as he attempted to escape!

Xu Jingming could clearly sense it with his mental strength.

“Entrap!” Xu Jingming controlled the Entrapment Net, and the damaged net was quickly restored. It enveloped the surrounding area and the remaining tinge of demonic aura.

The net quickly shrank and imprisoned the demonic aura into a small starlight ball. Only then did Xu Jingming take out a black jade bottle and pull out its stopper.

The starlight ball landed in the black jade bottle before he stuffed the stopper.

This demon’s intrinsic demonic aura is composed of obsessions. If his obsessions don’t dissipate, he will be undying,?Xu Jingming thought.?It needs a Demon Vanquisher to refine the demon with their mind! Only then can I completely eliminate him.

Lv. 7 and even Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms come to Demon Vanquishing World to refine demons with their minds so as to improve their mental strength. However, this is also the greatest risk. I have to be careful.

To refine demons with the mind was a clash between minds. On one side were the thoughts of the Demon Vanquisher, and on the other side was the obsession of the demon! The collision of their thoughts was also most dangerous. If the demon lost, the obsession would dissipate and die out completely. If the Demon Vanquisher lost, their mind would be damaged!

It’s not suitable to refine the demon while traveling,?Xu Jingming thought to himself.?I need a safe environment and be in tip-top state before refining the demon.

Xu Jingming put the jade bottle away.

The jade bottle was relatively cheap black jade bought in White County, but the jade was exquisite and had the effect of blocking demonic aura. After Xu Jingming personally carved the runes in the Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll and injected a wisp of Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers, he could seal this wisp of intrinsic demonic aura for a long time.

Of course, Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers needed to be replenished regularly; otherwise, the demon would escape.

“Greetings, sir. I’m Yu He.” Third Master Yu was already all smiles as he ran over and bowed respectfully. He was especially grateful to this Demon Vanquisher. Because of him, fewer people in the caravan died, and they didn’t lose any goods!

“Third Master, this is Young Master Chen Qi from White County,” a manager rushed over and whispered.

Xu Jingming frowned slightly when he saw this and said, “My surname isn’t Chen anymore. My surname is Wu, so call me… Wu Ming.”

The name Wu Ming was his public alias in the Primordial Research Institute! He used it publicly when traveling. Of course, the probability of encountering someone in Demon Vanquishing World who knew the meaning of Wu Ming as an alias was very low.

After all, very few factions knew the aliases of the Primordial Research Institute’s peripheral members.

“Wu?” Third Master Yu nodded when he heard that. “I heard about your situation in White County. The Chen family has indeed gone too far; they were blind to chase you out.”

“Mr. Wu, are you planning on living in the prefecture capital in the future?” Third Master Yu asked again.

“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded.

Third Master Yu smiled and said, “Mr. Wu, you’ve done our Yu family a favor by killing that demon! Our Yu family has nothing to repay you with, and we happen to have some businesses in the prefecture capital. We’re willing to give you a courtyard to settle down.”

“A courtyard?” Xu Jingming said. “A courtyard in the capital isn’t cheap.”

“Sir, you saved many lives in the caravan and also saved the goods, saving our Yu family from losing more than 10,000 taels of silver! Compared to this, what’s a courtyard? Our Yu family still benefited,” Third Master Yu said.

Xu Jingming looked at him and nodded with a smile. “Alright, I’ll accept it.”
