Even hybrid monsters have their day

Under the combined attack of several people, the Dark Cat Spirit howled in pain. It tried to break through the encirclement several times, but was blocked each time.

The dark cat spirit's eyes flashed with a fierce light as it stared at the three. Its body trembled violently, and wisps of black smoke billowed from within it. Soon, the smoke enveloped its entire body, and it slowly swelled up within the black smoke, as if someone were blowing air into it.

"Oh no, it's going to fight to the death!" Heng Yihao exclaimed.

At this moment, Geng Miaowan also felt that the situation was a bit bad. Seeing that the dark cat spirit's aura was increasing, she took a step back slowly and imperceptibly, intending to slip away when they were not paying attention.

"Big shrimp, rat, hold on for now." After saying this, Bu Luoyuan put his hands together and muttered incantations. Slowly, a different kind of aura formed around him, which grew stronger with the incantation he was chanting, gradually surpassing the aura of the Dark Cat Spirit.

Seeing the situation was turning against it, the dark cat spirit became extremely anxious and desperately searched for a way out. At that moment, it spotted Geng Miaowan, who was about to turn around, and a strange light flashed in its cold eyes.

Bu Luoyuan's face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, clearly indicating that he was enduring an exertion close to his physical limits. The incantation had reached its final stage; he pointed his sword at the dark cat demon and shouted, "Demon-Slaying Slash, Annihilate!"

The energy that had been gathered around him suddenly surged into his body, and then a beam of white light shot out from the tip of his sword, directly into the Dark Cat Spirit's body. After making this move, he could no longer muster any strength, and he staggered several steps to the side, completely exhausted.

The Dark Cat Spirit, held back by Gu Xia and Heng Yihao, couldn't dodge in time and took the hit head-on, its body riddled with a fist-sized hole from the sword energy.

The demon-slaying sword used by Bu Luoyuan was specifically designed to deal with these demons and monsters. So, while striking the Dark Cat Demon's body, the sharp sword energy also pierced straight into the Dark Cat Demon's chest, causing it to howl in pain twice.

This dark cat spirit had already cultivated to the late stage of the Demon Core realm, just a little bit away from the Transformation realm, so its intelligence was even better than that of an average person. Although it was severely injured, it had already determined that this was the best opportunity for it to break through.

Seizing the opportunity, it suddenly opened its mouth to bite Bu Luoyuan.

The situation was extremely urgent. Gu Xia and Heng Yihao also noticed the Dark Cat Spirit's movements and were startled when they saw it bite Bu Luoyuan. Gu Xia, who was closer, quickly made a feint, causing the Dark Cat Spirit to lose its focus. She then swiftly pounced on Bu Luoyuan, helped him up, and retreated towards Heng Yihao.

Enraged that the Dark Cat Spirit had snatched someone from his jaws, Gu Xia was furious. With its two front legs braced on the ground and its hind legs slightly bent, it leaped back to Gu Xia, opened its mouth wide, and a plume of black, foul-smelling vapor billowed from it.

Gu Xia hadn't expected it to have this move. Caught off guard, he was hit squarely by the black mist. He supported Bu Luoyuan, stunned for a moment. A glint flashed in the dark cat spirit's eyes, and its seemingly clumsy body moved with unimaginable agility, biting his arm in the instant he was bewitched, then tossing him high into the air.

It then charged straight at Geng Miaowan, who was walking backwards not far away. It should have fled immediately, but these people had stolen its inner core and now injured it; it couldn't swallow its anger. It figured this girl, who hadn't moved at all, must be a pushover, because she was the only one without any magic.

So it decided to swallow the little girl whole and then run away, as a way of getting revenge on them. Although she was just a little girl, she could still replenish its energy. With that thought, it increased its speed even more.

Before Geng Miaowan could recover from the bloody scene of Gu Xia's arm being bitten, she saw the Dark Cat Spirit coming towards her. She thought to herself, "This beast is really something. I'm just standing here perfectly fine, and I haven't touched it at all. Why is it acting like it has a grudge against me and coming at me like this?"

She knew she had to get away, but somehow she couldn't move her feet.

Seeing the Dark Cat Spirit running towards Geng Miaowan, Bu Luoyuan, disregarding the injured Gu Xia, chased after it with his last breath. "Damn it, get out of the way!"

Heng Yihao shouted as he ran, "Activate defense, teleport, damn it, at least move a little!"

Driven to desperation, the dark cat spirit moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Geng Miaowan in just a few breaths, and opening its blood-red maw at her.

The little white dog that was barking so fiercely just now has its tail between its legs and has disappeared somewhere.

Geng Miaowan stared at the enormous mouth that could swallow her without any difficulty. Its teeth, larger than her fist, gleamed with a bluish light, and bits of bright red flesh were stuck between them. A foul stench filled the air. She felt her breath catch in her throat and fainted, as the dark cat spirit's mouth snapped shut.

"Ah...she..."

Just when Bu Luoyuan and the other two thought the Dark Cat Spirit had swallowed Geng Miaowan and was about to run away, a flash of purple light appeared, and the Dark Cat Spirit rolled its eyes and fell to the ground.

However, the three people did not see the purple light because their view was blocked by the Dark Cat Spirit's body. They only saw the Dark Cat Spirit suddenly fall to the ground and remain motionless.

The three rushed forward and saw Geng Miaowan lying unharmed on the ground, as was the Dark Cat Spirit. Aside from the wounds inflicted by the three of them, there were no other new injuries. Bu Luoyuan examined it and confirmed that it was indeed dead.

They looked at each other, bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

"Let's go back first."

When Bu Luoyuan carried Geng Miaowan and Heng Yihao helped Gu Xia out of the Ruyi Gate, they found several medical personnel waiting at the entrance. Even their Great Chu Jiang King Jiao Lingfeng was there, which made the three of them feel very flattered, especially Gu Xia, who was injured. Receiving such attention made her feel that her injuries had healed instantly.

Jiao Lingfeng stepped forward and said to the three of them, "You did a great job on this mission."

The three of them suddenly felt lightheaded, even though their boss rarely praised anyone.

Jiao Lingfeng glanced at the person Bu Luoyuan was holding, then turned to ask Le Mo, "Is this the person you found at the entrance of Yi Zai, the transmigrator?"

"Yes."

He nodded and left. The medical staff understood and quickly took Geng Miaowan away. Le Mo praised the three of them verbally before following the medical staff away.
