Chapter 88: Instantly Subduing the Demon
Just as they feared—trouble came exactly when mentioned.
A thunderous rumble echoed across the mountains, as if something enormous was barreling straight toward them. The demonic aura around them suddenly surged, writhing violently like waves, surrounding the three as if to swallow them whole.
Darkness engulfed the area—everywhere they looked, there was nothing but swirling blue-green mist.
Both Yun Jiao and Bai Yu felt their hearts sink. A secret realm of this scale could only be created by a powerful demon—one that had cultivated for at least a hundred years. Such creatures were notoriously difficult to deal with. And worse, the two of them had practically no battle experience.
“You dare intrude into my realm!”
A booming male voice erupted from the darkness, so loud it felt like thunder exploding right beside their ears.
The force of it made Yun Jiao’s and Bai Yu’s heads ring. Their stomachs clenched. Bai Yu instinctively tightened his grip on his peachwood sword, fumbling through his bag for a purple charm before thrusting it toward Yun Jiao.
“Girl—take this! This thing’s not going to be easy!”
Yun Jiao didn’t argue. She snatched the charm, eyes locked on the thickening miasma ahead. The ground trembled with a heavy thud… thud… thud, the sound of something massive approaching. A towering shadow emerged from the fog—seven or eight meters tall, narrow but sinuous, swaying left and right as it moved closer.
