Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect Chapter 131 The Commitment of the Three-tailed Centipede

Chapter 131 The Commitment of the Three-tailed Centipede

Twice, the Six-Eyed Child evolved when it realized it was in mortal danger. It underwent a horrifying transformation. The skin over its whole body split open and blood spilled out; both its arms vigorously expanded. A jet of red specter Qi resembled a raging fire, surrounded it.

“Arrgh….” The Six-Eyed Child let out a wail. The specter Qi surged as it sprung toward Ye Shaoyang. Ye Shaoyang stabbed its head, but it held his sword with its specter Qi. Both of them were stuck in an awkward position.

Suddenly, Ye Shaoyang saw something landing on the Six-Eyed Child back. It shuddered and raised both heads; roared as it jumped away from Ye Shaoyang.

To Ye Shaoyang’s surprise, he saw a giant centipede lying on the back of the Six-Eyed Child! The centipede buried its fangs into the Six-Eyed Child’s back and chomped until the skin was heavily wrinkled.

Where did this centipede come from? Why did it fight with it?

Ye Shaoyang was rather confused. However, he understood once he saw the three tails behind the centipede – it was the centipede that grew inside a soul-bound undead’s abdomen. Old Guo kept it after they killed the soul-bound undead. He wanted to cleanse the evil Qi in it and keep it as a ‘pet’ and he’d apparently succeeded.

The Six-Eyed Child rolled on the ground, trying to shake off the Three-tailed Centipede. It turned around, grabbed the centipede’s body, and brutally tore it apart. The belly of Three-tailed Centipede burst open, and its guts flowed out.

But the Three-tailed Centipede didn’t seem to feel any pain. It snapped at the Six-Eyed Child’s abdomen and constricted it. The latter attacked with both of its heads. But both of them ended up rolling on the ground, furiously biting at each other.

For a moment, jets of black blood spurted into the air and internal organs spilled onto the ground.

Ye Shaoyang was stunned. Even with many years of experience in capturing spirits and demons under his belt, he had never seen such a strange scene. A demon and a specter fighting in the most basic fashion.

The cultivation level of Six-Eyed Child was many times higher than Three-tailed Centipede. But the latter fought fearlessly under Old Guo’s instructions. It constricted the Six-Eyed Child and never let go no matter how the Six-Eyed Child tore and hit it.

Ye Shaoyang gained time from the attack; he quickly raised his Qixing Dragon Sword and recited, “I beseech the almighty Dao. Eradicate evil in all directions! Align now the seven stars in Heaven and punish all evil!”

Ye Shaoyang chopped down on the two entwined around each other.

“Xiao Wu, come back now!” Old Guo shouted. Surprisingly, the Three-tailed Centipede understood. Immediately, it shrunk back to its small size and quickly crawled to Old Guo.

The fight provoked the Six-Eyed Child. It planned to launch another attack on Three-tailed Centipede, but a purple sword aura suddenly stabbed into its head. It quickly turned around, extended its arms, and caught the sword’s blade with its flame-red specter Qi, trying to toss the sword aside.

Ye Shaoyang bit the tip of his tongue, spat a mouthful of blood on both Six Eyed Child’s hands and suppressed most of the specter Qi and shouted, “Destroy!”

Then the Qixing Dragon Sword chopped the Six-Eyed Child in half….

Ye Shaoyang’s legs gave out. He sat on the ground and exhaled deeply. However, he quickly stood up after he exhaled, as he hadn’t finished his job.

He took out a talisman paper and silently chanted. After a gradual fifteen minutes, the talisman paper absorbed all red specter Qi in the room.

“Is the Six-Eyed Child really dead?” Xiao Ma timidly asked as he stood up from a corner. He was relieved after Ye Shaoyang confirmed the kill. He kicked the Six-Eyed Child’s dead body and happily said, “I contributed a bit in killing it! Tell me that I didn’t screw up this time.”

Ye Shaoyang ignored Xiao Ma. He walked to Old Guo. Old Guo held the Three-tailed Centipede in his palms and petted it in anguish.

Ye Shaoyang fixed his gaze upon the Three-tailed Centipede. It was seriously injured: its abdomen was split open, and it was on the verge of death.

“How is it?” asked Ye Shaoyang.

“Its abdomen is torn apart. I don’t think it can survive.” Old Guo was upset. “I spent a lot of time cleansing and cultivating it. It’s such a shame.”

Xiao Ma said, “This centipede saved our lives. It considered dying gloriously. Old Guo, you must find an auspicious feng shui location to bury it. If you want it to be grander, you can organize a funeral and cherish its memory.”

Ye Shaoyang said to Old Guo, “Who told you that it’ll die after its abdomen is torn apart? It’s a demon, not a common animal. It can survive as long as its head is still attached.”

Old Guo’s eyes shone with happiness. “Of course, how could I have forgotten that? Junior brother, do you think you can help—”

Ye Shaoyang cut his middle finger and let a bead of blood drop into the centipede’s mouth. The centipede shuddered as it quickly drank the blood.

Ye Shaoyang said, “Keep it safe and don’t let it come out for the next few days.”

Xiao Ma was fascinated. “Little Ye, I thought your blood was used to expel evil beings. Why can your blood heal a demon?”

“I removed the Gang Qi and preserved the cultivation in my blood,” Ye Shaoyang replied. “Once it accepts the blood, its recovery is hastened.”

Xiao Ma wanted to ask more questions, but he smelled something strange. He turned around and shouted, “Oh no, there’s another monster! It’s releasing poisonous gas!”

Ye Shaoyang was shocked. He turned around and saw smoke filling the room. He sniffed and shook his head. “This is real smoke, not evil Qi!”

As Ye Shaoyang finished, the Gu master’s malevolent voice boomed from the rooftop, “Ye Shaoyang, how dare you kill my Six-Eyed Child! Well, all of you will die together with it. I will burn you to death….” The voice was growing distant.

Sheets of thick smoke crept in from the gap in the chimney. However, the process was slow because the smoke was drifting down. Even though they were safe for the moment, suffocating to death was the most life-threatening issue.

The walls were burning hot as a stove. The air thinned. Meanwhile, Ye Shaoyang jumped into the flue with Maoshan Qinggong, but he failed to push away the slab that blocked the exit. He had no choice but to suggest that Xiao Ma and Old Guo to stick close the ground, cover their noses with clothes and calmly wait for Xie Yuqing’s rescue.

Finally, they heard Xie Yuqing’s voice outside. She nervously shouted, “Little Trickster, where are you? Ye Shaoyang?”

The three of them shouted in for help. Xiao Ma tapped on a wall with an entrenching tool and created a thunderous sound. Eventually, water droplets fell to the ground through the slab that blocked the exit.

“They’re using a high-pressure water jet,”Old Gu said. “It means that the fire is pretty strong. We must hold out.”

Slowly, the walls became cooler. After ten minutes, someone climbed to the rooftop and removed the slab. Immediately, the three of them breathed easy. The people on the roof dropped a line of rope and rescued the three of them one by one.

Ye Shaoyang looked around when he got to the rooftop. He saw fire everywhere. He sighed, “It seems like the Gu master purposefully burned away all evidence related to him.”
