138 A Family Of Three (1/2)

Xiang Qing grabbed the Su Mei sword and tried to strike several more times, but with a flicker of the demon's tail, he was flung to the other side. I rushed forward to block oncoming attacks, but it's tail had wrapped itself around my body, unwilling to release its grip.

”You must attack its weak point!” I struggled against the demon's grip while shouting to the side.

”What weak point?” Xiang Qing was very frustrated, ”This is a demon that can no longer reason and feel pain?”

”Yes!” I was in a lot of pain. A small cat such as myself against a big and strong bear, I really was at a disadvantage.

The demon lowered its head next to mine and revealed its fang, its saliva leisurely dripping. Very disgusting. Its rotten corpse stench had almost caused my nose to malfunction. I gave its nose a flying kick, and didn't allow it to come any closer.

Xiang Qing continued to strike the sword upon the demon's hard skin and tough flesh, but nothing was able to go through. He had even wanted to smash the sword to pieces due to frustration, he scolded, ”Didn't you say I was Bi Qingshen Jun's reincarnation or something? How come I can't use this broken piece of iron at all?”

”The years must have worn away at it.....” I quietly replied, my feet continued to attack the demon.

”There's obviously magical force sealed within this sword! But I can't use any of it.” Xiang Qing hurried over and tried to free me from the demon's grasps.

”You can't restore your former strength!” I suddenly remembered what Mo'lin had said, ”You absolutely can't use Bi Qingshen Jun's powers!”

”Why not?”

”You won't be able to return to the Heavenly Realm in doing so nor will you be able to return to your former position.”

”What about it?” Xiang Qing's hands were injured by my sharp claws, and his blood flowed down continuously. He seemed to have come to a sudden realization and began smearing his own blood onto the Su Mei sword. The originally dull sword began to emit a brightness from within, shooting straight up into the sky.

Xiang Qing was startled for a moment, but he had soon recovered from this shock and delve a dagger deep into his arms. This freshly drawn blood had caused the Duo Bao armor and Su Mei sword to glow violently red, completely surrounding Xiang Qing. This display of power, was exactly the same as when I saw him for the first time, just as strong and just as powerful.....

Because of his unexpected transformation, I neglected the enemy before me and was struck by the halberd. Xiang Qing hurriedly rushed over and brought me into his embrace, his speed not lacking in the least. I could feel the broken bones from that single impact, however, I did not mind the pain and only reminded, ”Finished.....like this, you probably won't be able to return to the Heavenly Realm again.....”

”Even if I can't return, it doesn't matter!” Xiang Qing gently placed me down, but in a split second, his expression had become indifferent and cold as ice. He brandished his sword and collided with the demonic beast in all directions.

Like sand flying about and stones hurtling through the air, they exchanged dozens of strokes. Due to a lack of experience using this newfound ability, Xiang Qing could not control its power freely. Noticing that Xiang Qing had received several injuries, I wiped the blood from my mouth and readied myself to join the battle.

Without a soul, and only a deep everlasting hatred as his singular weapon, a demon who is unafraid of pain nor death. All of his essentials, his head, his neck, his abdomen have all been stabbed at least once, but unfortunately none of them contained his weak point and none of them could slow his pace of attack.

”Pay attention to where his weakness is!” Xiang Qing loudly commanded, his face was covered in cold sweat. The sword in his hand continued to move frantically against the demon's body in search of its weak point. Hearing his serious tone of voice, I earnestly began to search up and down the demon's body to find its weakness.

”Do not hesitate!” Xiang Qing gave another order.

What are those words suppose to mean? No matter the meaning, Shifu once said that if there's something you must do, then you should do it. Despite not having not found its weak point, I decisively pounced onto that demon and grabbed onto its head.

Out of the blues, a small dark figure flew onto the demon's back. A sharp dagger quickly pierced through its third posterior vertebrae, causing it to let out a howling cry as it fell to the ground. That little figure was actually Xiao Mao. He stood atop the demon's body, revealing a proud grin.

”Well done.” Xiang Qing's entire person appeared exhausted. He sat down to take a glance at Xiao Mao, and smiled, ”Indeed worthy to be my child.”
