The Legend of the Demon Hunter

In the entire Demon-Suppressing Tower, the ninth floor has the smallest space and the entire thing can be seen at a glance, but it is in a mess.

There is a round platform in the empty floor space, and the platform is covered with straw from top to bottom. The thickness of the straw is uneven, as if someone had fought on it. There are some white and dark red spots on the ground. The dark red one looks like dried blood, and the white one is something unknown, and it feels very sticky when touched by hand.

The air on the entire ninth floor was filled with a strange smell that was very unpleasant. Fortunately, the windows were wide open, and when wind blew in occasionally, Xiao Zhu felt that breathing was a little more comfortable.

"Brother Xiao, look here!" After a day of getting along, Ding Xiaoyao had become quite familiar with Xiao Zhu. He was only one year younger than Xiao Zhu and insisted on calling Xiao Zhu "Brother Xiao".

Xiao Zhu looked in the direction of Ding Xiaoyao's finger and saw half a bone on the ground. The bone seemed to be there for some time and the outer surface had completely dried and weathered. Xiao Zhu could not tell where the bone came from, but when he thought about what Ding Xiaoyao said about the missing girl, Xiao Zhu still felt a chill in his heart.

At this moment, there was movement downstairs.

"Oh no! They are back." Ding Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, just follow me."

He grabbed Ding Xiaoyao's collar and jumped out of the window with him. This place was dozens of meters above the ground. Ding Xiaoyao looked down and was immediately frightened and pale. He almost screamed. Xiao Zhu covered his mouth with one hand, then jumped up in the air. The two of them landed steadily on the top of the Demon Suppression Tower. Xiao Zhu released the Breathing Technique to suppress the spiritual power fluctuations of the two people to the minimum, and then quietly hid here.

After a while, the sound of "thump thump" footsteps was heard from the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and three people walked up the stairs. Judging from the spiritual power they exuded, one of them was a high-level demon hunter, and the other two were mid-level demon hunters.

In addition to these three people, there was also a person with a very weak breath who was brought up by them. Although Xiao Zhu could not see the situation in the room, he could guess that it was a woman. Judging from the faint breath emanating from this woman, the woman should be in a coma.

"Brother, this little girl is really pretty. Look at her face, it's so tender that you can squeeze water out of it. If it weren't for the fact that it only likes people with strong yin, I would like to enjoy it first." A rough voice came.

"Bah! Are you courting death? Without it, the three of us would be nothing more than stray dogs expelled by the Red Lotus Cult. How could we live the life like emperors now? If you want women, go find those female believers in the village. How dare you set your sights on the Living Spirit?" another voice cursed.

"Brother, please teach me a lesson. I was just speaking casually. I will never mention this matter again. Please don't mind it." The hoarse voice replied.

"You'd better not even think about it." Another voice snorted.

In fact, when the three men brought the woman up the stairs, Xiao Zhu could no longer hold back his excitement. When he heard the three words "Red Lotus Sect", he could not help but step hard on the roof. Suddenly, a gap with a diameter of about one meter collapsed on the roof. Xiao Zhu jumped into the room.

The three were talking happily, and they never expected that there was someone hiding on the roof. The moment they saw Xiao Zhu jump down, they were horrified, but the three of them were demon hunters after all, and their ability to respond in a short period of time was immediately demonstrated. They held the magic weapons in their hands and prepared for both offense and defense.

"You're looking for death, you ignorant boy." The leading man was furious when he saw that Xiao Zhu dared to hide here and eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Brother Xiao, let me help you." Ding Xiaoyao jumped down from the roof right after him and stood beside Xiao Zhu.

Seeing another person appear, the three of them were slightly startled. They didn't expect that there was more than one person hiding on the roof. But when they found that there was no one else except these two, they were relieved.

The leading man used his spiritual power to sense that Ding Xiaoyao who jumped down from behind was only a mid-level demon hunter. As for the first person, he couldn't see through the other party's strength, but judging from the other party's appearance and age, he was just a boy in his early twenties. How strong could he be?

"You stand back, leave these two guys to me." The leading man, a senior demon hunter, was very confident in his own strength and ordered the two people beside him.

The two men obeyed his orders and stopped to stand behind him.

The leading man held a huge machete with seven monster crystal cores inlaid on the blade. He swung it with great force and chopped towards Xiao Zhu.

Just when the broadsword was only one meter away from Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu raised his right arm to block the broadsword's path. When the leading man saw Xiao Zhu's move, a trace of disdain appeared on his face. His broadsword had been through hundreds of battles and had once chopped down a level two monster. This kid was actually overestimating his own abilities by using his body to defend himself. He probably didn't want this arm anymore.

But when the broadsword hit Xiao Zhu's arm, a golden light flashed on his arm, and the leading man felt as if he was hitting steel and iron. The broadsword could not move forward, and the palm of his hand holding the handle was cracked. Xiao Zhu raised his arm suddenly, and he was no longer able to hold the broadsword in his hand. The broadsword flew out of his hand, and he was forced back five or six steps by the force.

Before the leading man could recover from the shock, a golden vine grew wildly from the ground and wrapped around his body in circles, from his feet to his chin, leaving only his head exposed. The man lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thump.

The other two saw the leading man being defeated with just one move, and they immediately realized that this young opponent was extremely powerful. They had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, so they dropped their weapons and ran towards the exit of the eighth floor. However, they had just taken two steps when they felt that they could not lift their feet. Several golden vines grew out of the ground and tied their feet tightly.

"Master, please spare us, master, please spare us!" The two men were so scared that their faces turned pale and they knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

However, Xiao Zhu ignored the three men and walked to the high platform, untied the huge sack they had carried up, and saw the woman inside.

But at this moment, Xiao Zhu showed disappointment on his face, because the woman was not the Xia Shi he had been thinking about.

The woman was not very old, and looked only about 16 or 17 years old. She had a baby face, fair skin, and delicate features, like a porcelain doll. She seemed to be completely unaware of the danger she was in, and was sleeping soundly with a slight smile on her lips.

Xiao Zhu then turned around, stared at the three men, and asked sternly, "Why did you kidnap this girl and come here?"

Hearing Xiao Zhu's question, the three men looked at each other with hesitation. Finally, the leading man said, "Sir, this woman is the living spirit we offer to the Lord of the Tower. Please show mercy!"

"Living spirit?" It was the first time that Xiao Zhu heard this strange name, but judging from this name alone, he knew it was not a good thing.
