Shocked, everyone except Master has a vest

Chu He and Qin Muyue stood back to back. Facing this sudden attack, both of them had a solemn look in their eyes.

Chu He's folding fan spun rapidly in his hand, releasing a series of true talismans, each of which glowed with golden light, resisting the petals that were as sharp as knives.

The light from Qin Muyue's sword was like mercury pouring down on the ground, knocking away the attacking petals one by one.

When the Peach Blossom Demon saw that his attack did not work, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he mobilized his demonic power even more violently, and the attack of the petals became more fierce, like a blizzard, almost drowning the two of them.

Chu He felt the pressure doubled. He knew that this was not a solution and he had to find a breakthrough.

He shouted to Qin Muyue: "Miss Qin, you cover me, I will break its invisibility!"

Qin Muyue nodded and swung her sword even more fiercely to buy time for Chu He.

Chu He closed his eyes and began to sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him. Gradually, lines of decrees gathered on his folding fan, emitting a faint light.

"Break!" Chu He shouted and swung his folding fan violently. Hundreds of talismans bloomed like Buddha's angry lotus, indiscriminately blasting away the location of the Peach Blossom Demon.

The fire talisman penetrated the Peach Blossom Demon's invisibility, exposing its figure under the moonlight.

The Peach Blossom Demon danced with her petal-like sleeves. With a turn of her body, thousands of petals turned into demon chains, like hundreds of poisonous snakes, rolling towards the two of them.

Chu He was not in a hurry. He closed his folding fan, flicked his sleeves and threw out hundreds of talismans, all of which were thunder talismans that could restrain the wood monster, towards the monster chain.

The two collided, lightning and fire flew everywhere, and a large piece of the peach forest was broken off. Chu He was shocked and took several steps back, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Muyue immediately understood Chu He's intention. She flashed and pointed her sword directly at the Peach Blossom Demon's vital points.

The peach blossom demon had just been numbed all over by the hundreds of thunder talismans cast by Chu He, and before it could react, Qin Muyue's sword had already pierced into its body.

With a snap, the Peach Blossom Demon's inner elixir split into two halves. He was seriously injured and collapsed to the ground.

"Tell me, why did you attack the two of us?" Qin Muyue put the sword on the peach blossom demon's neck, his eyes dangerous.

The peach blossom demon was seriously injured, and a trace of fear flashed in its eyes. Its voice trembled: "I... I was just following orders. Please spare my life!"

Chu He and Qin Muyue looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Chu He asked coldly: "Whose orders are you following? What's your purpose?"

The peach blossom demon hesitated for a moment, as if weighing whether to tell the truth. Finally, it sighed and whispered, "It's... it's the young master of the Gelbutp Tribe, the girl who has been offered a bounty on Zui Chunfeng in the Nine-Storied Tower. I'm just one of the assassins who received the mission."

He took out the portrait tremblingly, and the woman in it looked like a young girl.

Qin Muyue was full of confusion: "How did I, a lone cultivator, offend the young master of the demon clan?"

There should be no such thing in the memory line of Chu He that she had glimpsed through the nightmare. Qin Muyue thought about it and concluded that there was only something wrong with Ye Xianqing regarding this sudden assassination.

Ye Xianqing's recollection line overlapped with Chu He's, forming a new development of the nightmare.

The intensity increases with just a tick.

The peach blossom demon shook her head, her voice becoming even weaker: "I don't know the specific details, I just got the bounty."

"Miss Qin, there must be a misunderstanding here. I will definitely solve the problem for you." Chu He's face became solemn, and he was determined to protect the girl.

The girl's eyes were full of murderous intent. She wanted to kill the Peach Blossom Demon, but this thing was just an NPC in the dream. Killing it would ruin Zui Chunfeng's character.

She was too lazy to bother with this and kicked the peach blossom demon away. "Get lost, I'll let you go."

The peach blossom demon was as if granted amnesty, and quickly turned into a red light and disappeared into the depths of the peach blossom forest. Chu He and Qin Muyue stood where they were, with peach petals slowly falling around them, and a hint of coolness in the night breeze.

Chu He frowned, he knew that this matter was not simple. Why would the young master of the Gumbo tribe, Yu Nu, attack Qin Muyue? There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

Qin Muyue had a stern look on her face. Although she didn't understand why she became a target, she would know if she continued along the route planned by Nightmare.

"Mr. Chu, although we met by chance, today's matter is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to go with me?" The girl looked at Chu He.

Chu He nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Miss Qin, you have done me a favor. If you are in trouble now, I will not sit idly by."

Qin Muyue smiled slightly. Although Chu He's cultivation had not yet awakened in the nightmare, he was an upright person.

"If we continue to deliver the letter, we will meet that young master sooner or later." Qin Muyue asked.

Chu He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay."

The two left Taohua Village overnight and flew to the demon clan's territory on their swords.

After flying for several hours, the two finally arrived at the border of the demon tribe.

There was a faint eerie aura in the air here. The trees and flowers around her looked unusually strange. There were even a few enchanting Lycoris radiata blooming at her feet.

"It's so quiet." The girl grabbed a flower and put the stem into her mouth to taste it. As expected, there was a familiar garlic taste. If the monk was not resistant to poison, this bite would be enough to kill a mortal.

"Miss Qin, we have to be careful. The demon territory is different from the immortal world. The demons here are still hostile to human cultivators." Chu He reminded.

Miss Qin nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of vigilance, but also a bit of novelty.

"We have to find a place to hide and wait until dark before taking action." Chu He took out the breath-suppressing talisman and said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Qin Muyue pointed to a mountain and said, "It looks good there. We can hide in the cave for a while."

The two were just about to fly their swords again when suddenly, a strong wind blew up, the leaves rustled, and a black shadow fell from the sky.

"How dare you!" Chu He threw out dozens of talismans with his folding fan, which had various effects such as concealment, silencing, lightning strike and fire roasting.

The black shadow's hair stood on end, and it rolled in the air, avoiding Chu He's first round of pursuit with the talisman paper, and fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a huge black panther, with a faint green light flashing in its eyes and the fangs in its mouth looked particularly ferocious under the moonlight.

"So it's because Meow Meow has such quick reactions!" The girl raised her eyebrows, and she immediately took out her sword. The sword turned into a ray of light and joined in the pursuit of dozens of talismans.

The black panther roared and wielded its four claws, avoiding more than a dozen thunder talismans, but its legs were frozen by ice talismans, and it was then surrounded by fireworks created by the thunder and fire talismans that followed.

The black panther roared in pain, but Chu He and Qin Muyue did not let down their guard.

Qin Muyue pinched the sword-controlling technique from a distance, and the magic sword fell straight down towards the exposed leopard-headed spirit.

At this moment, the black panther's body suddenly emitted a dazzling demonic power. Its size began to expand, and the scars on its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chu He and Qin Muyue both felt a powerful fluctuation of demonic power, and they realized that the black panther was burning the demon pill.

Chu He subconsciously blocked the girl behind him.

When Qin Muyue saw the spirit sword being bounced away by the demonic power, she secretly released the Dreamweaver Gu to prevent it from wasting time.

The black panther has now turned into a giant leopard monster, twice its previous size. There is no longer simple animality in its eyes, but a bit more cunning and cruelty.

"The law of heaven and earth, obey my orders!" Chu He and Qin Muyue launched an attack at the same time.

Chu He's talisman and Qin Muyue's sword energy intertwined together, forming a powerful offensive.

The black panther demon's power increased greatly, and it was carrying the talisman paper to explode in order to hit Chu He. The two had no choice but to take a deep breath and step on the leaves in the sky to escape, dodging and fighting back at the same time.

With the joint counterattack of the two, Black Panther's pursuit gradually slowed down.

Finally, after another powerful attack, the Black Panther Demon was hit in the vitals. After letting out a shrill scream, he fell to the ground and could no longer stand up.

Chu He consumed a lot of physical strength and spiritual energy. They knew that this was only the first battle in the demon clan's territory, and there might be more challenges next.

"We have to find a place to recover our strength quickly." Chu He said, his face a little pale.

Qin Muyue nodded, put away her sword, and began to look around for a suitable hiding place.

The two found a hidden cave, Chu He set up a defensive formation, and began to meditate and regulate their breathing to restore their physical strength and spiritual energy.
