I am a living immortal.

Facing this fleeting sword.

The woman in red finally showed a serious look on her face.

The flying insects beside her quickly gathered together and wrapped the woman. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a monster with several arms, and keratin covered its entire body like armor.

The collision between the arm and the sword actually made a sound of metal hitting metal.

But the sword still cut a crack in the cuticle.

The monster's other arms swung quickly, sweeping across the sword like a violent storm, knocking Xuan Qi back, and creating holes in the flames behind him.

Xuan Qi's expression behind the mask remained unchanged.

He relieved the gravity from his feet, and then used the force to push back, once again rushing towards the multi-armed monster transformed by the woman in red.

The monster snorted coldly and was about to use it again.

However, at this moment, chains once again rushed from all directions, trying to hook the monster. The strength of this multi-armed monster increased, but it was relatively less flexible than before.

The monster kept struggling, trying to break free by using its strength, but the special iron chain was straightened, and a golden light flashed on the iron lock, preventing the monster from breaking free.

The rope was obviously cast with some kind of magic.

And the pulling force from all directions is getting stronger and stronger.

One after another, figures with ghost masks showed their magical powers. Some were wrapped around trees, some were leaning against boulders, and some had talismans stuck under their feet.

Everyone worked together to pull the monster away little by little.

"You little trick, how can you trap me? Come here!!"

Several arms grabbed the ropes.

Then, with a sudden force, the tree was intercepted and cut off, the rocks shattered, and the talismans stuck on the feet burned to ashes. Dozens of people were pulled to the ground in an instant.

Before the monster could feel proud, Xuanqi attacked again. A fierce flame streaked from top to bottom, and paused for a few moments when it touched the cuticle.

Then a fire unicorn was seen stepping down from above.

With a "whoosh", flames splashed everywhere. The cuticle was ignited along with the cuticle.

With a loud bang, it exploded into countless pieces and scattered everywhere.

The woman in red looked a little embarrassed.

Xuan Qi's expression changed slightly this time. He originally thought that this should be enough to take the other party's life, but judging from the situation, he had only suffered some minor injuries.

The keratin still clinging to the woman in red fell off like sand.

“I’ve had enough fun…”

As the woman spoke, she flashed and came behind Xuanqi.

A red light flashed, and a deep wound that could be seen to the bone appeared on Xuanqi's body.

"So fast!!!"

"Go together!!"

Someone shouted, and then the sound of long swords being unsheathed came into view.

One figure after another pounced on the woman in red, determined to keep her at all costs, and Xuan Qi also ignored his own injuries, drew his sword, and swung it in one go.

I finally caught the opponent's tail and couldn't let him escape again.

The battle between the two sides started again.

Red light and flames, flashes of swords and sabers.

Fights continued in the forest. Some people were hit in the chest by gravity, their internal organs were smashed into pieces, and some were cut in half by the red light, separated from top to bottom.

Their knives also hit the woman in red, and she was knocked away. Then they attacked again, were killed, and then someone else took over to continue.

This reckless fighting style made the woman miserable, like a group of annoying hornets. Although it could not kill people in an instant, the continuous accumulation of damage could also be fatal.

In the end, the woman in red no longer wanted to fight with him.

He fought and dragged on, and after draining the blood of several people, he also had one of his wings torn off and fled in panic.

Holding wings as thin as cicada wings in his hands.

Xuan Qi looked around. There were dozens of people, but only a few were alive, and most of them were exhausted.

They all died violent deaths, without even a complete body left behind.

Xuan Qi was covered in scars, with double vision in front of his eyes. His body was covered with fiery red scales, which were caused by the sword in his hand. These scales were wriggling to heal the wounds, but even so, he was still seriously injured.

He fell backwards to the ground due to excessive blood loss and fainted, but he still held the wings tightly in his hands.

When the Ministry of Justice and the people from the Exorcist Sect arrived, they saw such a horrifying scene. The smell of blood was everywhere. If they had not arrived in time, they would have become a meal for the beasts and monsters around them.

The people of the Exorcist Sect do not wear uniform clothing like the Demon Slayers. They each have their own duties and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. They have also merged with the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, so they are proficient in stargazing, divination, medicine, numerology, killing demons and studying talismans.

The Demon Slayers are combat personnel, and the Demon Extermination Sect are logistics personnel. Although they both know how to fight, they have their own specialties.

After seeing this horrific scene, the demon hunters first cast a few talismans to scare away the wild beasts circling in the jungle, and then began to treat the wounded. They used fluorescent pills and glowing talismans to try to pull the dying people back from the brink of death.

Next it all depends on luck.

Some people can survive, some can't, but we have to try no matter what.

But just when a person from the Ministry of Justice wanted to get close to the commander-in-chief Xuanqi, he was pulled back by the people from the Demon Exorcism Sect.

"Don't go there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword on the ground moved, and a fire unicorn jumped out of the sword, guarding Xuanqi. It looked at everyone around it with hostility in its eyes, shook its head, and sparks scattered all over its body.

When he realized there was no danger, he returned to the sword.

The demon-slayer explained, "Commander Xuanqi doesn't need medical treatment. He will wake up soon."

The people from the Ministry of Justice took a closer look and also discovered something unusual: the fiery red scales covering the surface were fading, and the wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How amazing..." said the people from the Ministry of Justice.

"This isn't magical at all, but rather extremely painful. That sword is stained with Qilin blood. The longer it's unsheathed, the more changes will occur to the body. If the sword isn't sheathed before it completely changes, these changes will persist forever."

"Don't think this is a good thing. Can you imagine the feeling of flames flowing through your meridians? It's hundreds of times more painful than this. Without a strong spirit, your spirit will collapse in just a few breaths, and you will eventually become a monster that is neither human nor demon, and will continue to endure endless pain."

"Great strength comes at a price..."

Although they are not in the same department, everyone has heard of Xuanqi's name and admires him. This sword has existed much earlier than the birth of the Demon Slaying Division, but so far only Xuanqi can wield it.

Xuanqi is not a person's name. The Demon Slaying Division has only one master so far. Anyone who can wield this sword is called Xuanqi, Xuanjian Huoqi, the name of the sword.
