Chapter 287: Slaying Demons and Receiving Talismans (I)
Li Tongya landed in the mountains as low wolf howls echoed through the forest. Clouds and mist shrouded everything in complete darkness. Sweeping his spiritual sense across the cave entrance, he felt a strong wave of demonic and bloody qi.
Resting his hand on the hilt of his sword, he advanced, quickly conjuring a flame with his left hand and flicking it into the cave.
The flame rose in the thick demonic qi for two breaths before flickering out. Li Tongya gazed at the giant creature in the cave expressionlessly, gripping his sword silently.
"Why must you press me so hard, Fellow Daoist..."
A raspy voice echoed in Li Tongya's ears. The demon had long sensed Li Tongya's approach but had relied on the large formation to remain hidden in the cave without making a sound.
The dense fog of Mount Bianyan obscured everything, creating a desolate and uninhabited atmosphere that rendered spiritual senses ineffective.
Assuming that a proud Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator would dislike the trouble of a tedious search, the demon retreated to its cave, waiting for Li Tongya to leave the area.
To the demon's surprise, Li Tongya decided to descend into this area instead. Aware only that Li Tongya possessed some powerful dharma treasure, the demon dared not confront him directly.
The demon's voice turned harsh as it snarled, "I am a general under a demon king named Sanjun… I advise you to retreat quickly to avoid angering the demon king!"
