The Simple Life of Killing Demons
Book 12: Chapter 72

Volume 12 Chapter 72 : Counterattack Battle (6)

Hearing a voice and a chilling sensation coming from behind, the female demon clan member immediately turned into an afterimage to avoid Lin Xiang's attack.

The cold aura carried by the cold sword made the female demon clan member feel quite uncomfortable.

She flashed to a distance, realizing that there was a wound on her arm, with a layer of frost on it.

"To think that the defense barrier on me was actually cut open…" She turned around to see what it was that had given her the disgusting feeling and managed to slice through her high-density wind shield, as well as who it was that had disturbed her at such a critical moment.

In the air, ice fragments drifted about in an organized pattern, clearly revealing sword marks. A man put away his weapon and embraced Wind Chimes, the two of them then descended to the ground. The moment they touched the ground, a slow streams of water appeared, providing a cushioning effect, which made Lin Xiang land smoothly.

"Thank you so much, Silent Water." Lin Xiang smiled at Silent Water. Then, he looked at Wind Chimes in his arms. At that moment, Wind Chimes seemed completely lifeless. Even opening her eyes was a difficult task. It looked as if closing them meant that she might not be able to open them again.

"Master, what's wrong with her?" Silent Water released magic to treat Wind Chimes's injuries. As soon as Silent Water started covering the wound, she felt that something was not right, "Master! Wind Chimes, she…!"

‘The wind spirit’s magic crystal was taken away by the demon clan. The energy in her body is dispersing. We need to find a way to get her magic crystal back.’ said Freed.

‘Get her magic crystal back?’ Lin Xiang seemed to have seen that the female demon clan member swallowed something into her stomach, which was probably Wind Chimes’s magic crystal.

“That human boy’s aura is too weak, so weak that I didn't notice his presence when he got close. Seriously, what is Pine doing? How could such a weak human being interfere with me, huh?”

At that moment, the female demon clan member noticed that Bull-head, who was fighting with Valarie, had no time to attack Lin Xiang and the spirits. Earlier, she had already noticed two groups of fire in battle, so she thought that it was just another powerful fire spirit, which Bull-head wanted to contract with, causing it to delay time on purpose just to play with the fire spirit. However, she did not expect that it was not a fire spirit, but…

"A dragon? How could a dragon appear here? And where's Ronald (the shadowman)?" The female demon clan member looked around, but did not spot the shadowman’s presence.

Generally speaking, when a light source emitted light, it would scatter in all directions. When the strong light was emitted from within Lin Xiang's body, Freed controlled the direction of the light, like a flashlight, so that the light was released horizontally instead of vertically, which was why the female demon clan member on the high city wall did not see the burst of light. She also did not know that the shadowman had been purified by Freed’s light. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"This chill, a spiritual weapon perhaps? No wonder… Such a weak human being actually wields a spiritual weapon. The continent here is truly peculiar." The female demon clan member first turned around in the air, like a little bird, then her actions suddenly changed from a bird to an eagle, as she swooped down, pointing at Lin Xiang with sharp claws, "No matter what, daring to snatch away the spirit I had my eyes on… Kid! You’ve got guts!"

"Master, take Wind Chimes to a safe place first! Hah!" Silent Water rapidly condensed a water ball and swiftly pushed it towards the female demon clan member.

After the water ball was pushed out, its round surface suddenly transformed, becoming bumpy and then… Whoosh. It turned into small and sharp water spikes, like raindrops. (Pierce●Hundred Droplets)

The female demon clan member flicked her hand, and the air in front of her rippled like water. As the water spikes struck its surface, a ripple of waves was stirred up. The female demon clan member laughed heartily, “Useless, useless!”

"Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!" Golden lightning descended from the sky, and the female demon clan member forcibly diverted the attack, changing its direction to the ground.

"You probably said something like ‘useless’ just now." Reidy stood next to Silent Water as her sharp chin slightly raised, radiating an aura of pride.

Wind and electricity were two relatively delicate elements, mutually restraining each other and able to penetrate through each other.

"Electricity? It's a pity that it's not powerful enough. Both you and water spirit are the same, upper-level D-ranked spirits, so you can't defeat me."

"I'll here too!" Dusty emerged from the ground. After a little rest, she had recovered quite a bit.

“Now there’re three of you?"

At some point, Fire Lotus appeared next to Dusty. Seeing Fire Lotus, the female demon clan member's gaze changed.

"Even if you add another upper-level B-ranked spirit to your line-up, you still won't be able to defeat me." The female demon clan member was not anxious yet. She was waiting, waiting for the moment when Wind Chimes would be on the brink of death due to the depletion of magic energy.

By then, she would contract Wind Chimes and grant her a new “magic” crystal.

"Cold…" After retreating a distance with Wind Chimes, Lin Xiang found that Wind Chimes's lips began to turn pale and her face had lost its color. Her body temperature was dropping rapidly.

Lin Xiang held Wind Chimes tightly, hoping to warm her up, "Is this better?"

However, the response Lin Xiang got was Wind Chimes's constantly decreasing body temperature. It was as if ice was continuously added to lukewarm water, rapidly making the warm water cold.

"Remember… to not let that demon clan get close to me… O…otherwise, it's over… I want to die like this." Wind Chimes said tremblingly as she spoke those words.

"No, you won’t. You won't die. You still have to study humans and find a way for humans and spirits to coexist peacefully, don't you? Don't you want to see and experience human technology?"

"Heh… Anyway, don't let me fall into her hands." After Wind Chimes finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes.

"Hey, hey, wake up." Lin Xiang kept shaking Wind Chimes, but she was no longer giving a response. If it were not for her faint breath, it would have been hard to distinguish her current state from death.

"It's about time." The female demon licked her nails, "Before the contract, how about I have a taste of your blood?"

"Silent Water, we need to be careful. This one is different from those demon soldiers."

"Mm." Silent Water nodded, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her expression was serious. She understood the strength of their enemy this time.

"If my memory serves me right, she is from the wind demon clan. Like wind spirits, they are incredibly fast. Within a range of five meters from the wind demon clan, it will be her domain. It’s best to stay five meters away from her." Fire Lotus lightly spoke.

"Heh~ I didn’t expect to see that you still care about us and give us her information." Reidy glanced at Fire Lotus in surprise. It was the first time she heard Fire Lotus speak so much.

"Don't get sentimental, I’m telling this to Dusty. Dusty, do you understand?"

"Understood! Maintain a distance of five meters from her." Dusty nodded. However, just as she finished nodding, her eyes widened suddenly. A nail had pierced through her chest, and a ghostly voice sounded from behind her, "Do you really understand and maintain that distance?"

"Dusty!" Although Fire Lotus knew the information about the female demon clan member, she never expected her to move so swiftly, while Silent Water and Reidy had yet to react.
