Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 47: Killing the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon

In the ruins of Qingyang Fangshi.

The power of the second-level formation surged and struck the body of the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon--

"You despicable symbol master, do you still have a trick up your sleeve?!"

The Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon froze, as if seeing a ghost, staring incredulously at Li An.

In his eyes, there seemed to be endless astonishment. He couldn't believe that he would die at the hands of a Qi Refining fifth-level cultivator...

Instinctively, he raised his hand, seemingly wanting to kill Li An.

But a dagger had already flown like a ray of light...

With the flash of this light, the head of the Soul-Collecting Demon flew away!

First, he was severely injured by Han Zhong, then killed by the second-level formation. The Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon's aura had completely dissipated. At this moment, even Li An's "Flying Dagger Technique" couldn't withstand it...

The body of the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon fell to the ground!

As the second-level formation was activated and triggered, waves of exhaustion spread throughout Li An's body, and a sense of fatigue overwhelmed him.

But Li An bit his tongue and forced himself to endure the exhaustion, walking over.

"The Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon is dead, he's dead, great, great..."

On the other side, Jing Ao, who had not been killed, was both shocked and delighted. He was shocked that Li An had such a trick up his sleeve, and delighted that he would be saved as a result!

Moreover, Senior Brother Han Zhong had died, and the credit for killing the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon would fall on him, wouldn't it?

"Come over here, help me up, help me up!"

He ordered Li An in a commanding tone.

But Li An ignored him, quickly walking to the side of the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon's white bone flag, wrapping his hand in cloth, and then picking up the white bone flag before walking in front of Jing Ao.

His eyes were so cold.

"What... what do you want to do..."

Jing Ao suddenly sensed that something was wrong. He inexplicably felt a sense of fear and said with a trembling voice:

"Aren't you going to help me up? Do you want to die?"

But Li An just stared at his face and said, "It's a pity that the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon didn't chop you into pieces and make you into a delicacy..."

"Are you crazy? Let me tell you, I am an inner disciple. If you dare to act recklessly, you will die too..."

Jing Ao was terrified.

Li An had already lifted the white bone flag and stabbed it directly into Jing Ao's chest!

"Spurt--"

Jing Ao was dumbfounded and died instantly.

Li An pulled out the white bone flag and threw it aside.

He was panting heavily, barely holding on, and swept away all the shattered jade talisman scraps around Jing Ao, collecting them into his storage bag. Then he quickly turned around and checked the storage bag on the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon's body--

There were a lot of things inside!

Including a large number of spirit stones, elixirs, many second-level magical instruments, and even a third-grade spiritual herb.

Extremely rich!

Unfortunately, there was no Foundation Building Pill that Li An wanted!

He focused his gaze on three second-grade spiritual herbs, only taking two of them and putting them into his own storage bag.

Then he ran frantically, using his Light Body Technique to the extreme. In just a few breaths, he had already appeared at the edge of the market, near an abandoned ancient well.

He threw the storage bag into the well and covered it with rubble.

After doing all this, he hurriedly returned to the battlefield, picked up the head of the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon, held it in his hand, and then sat down next to the body of the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon.

He finally relaxed and let exhaustion spread freely throughout his body.

"The Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon arrived, I led him into the inner hall, he knocked me unconscious, Jing Ao came and got poisoned, unable to activate the formation in time, and was killed by the white bone flag. Yu Xiong and Han Zhong fought desperately, severely injuring the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon. I woke up, took the jade talisman from Jing Ao, activated the second-level formation, and killed the Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon..."

He murmured to himself, forcefully hypnotizing himself.

He wanted to bury the truth deep in his heart and create a false process in his mind.

Taking advantage of the time when the disciples of Xuan Yang Sect had not yet arrived, he continuously reinforced this false process!

At the same time, he still had a question in his mind. The Soul-Collecting Horse-Faced Demon shouldn't have died here... but he did, there must be a problem.

But he no longer had the energy to think about this question.

This time, he truly fainted!

...

Dozens of miles away from Qingyang Fangshi.

The battle was intense. The Foundation Building stage experts responsible for guarding the medicinal herbs fought fiercely with the masked cultivator known as "Horse-Faced Magician"!

"Boom!"

A terrifying light descended from the sky, and an old man with white hair appeared in mid-air. With one strike, he directly hit the masked cultivator on the ground!

The masked cultivator exploded on the spot!

The entire battlefield fell into silence for a moment!

"Is Horse-Faced Magician dead?"

"Did he really die?"

"Great! This demonic cultivator has caused so much trouble, and he's finally been eliminated!"

The Xuan Yang Sect cultivators around were all pleasantly surprised.

Even Xu Qiuhui, among the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief. She had always been wary of the notorious Horse-Faced Magician.

The old man descended and exuded an aura of immortality. He looked immaculate and held a dusting brush.

"Greetings, Elder Li!"

Everyone saluted one after another.

This old man was Li Yuan, one of the False Foundation Building stage experts and a core elder of the inner sect who led this operation.

"Hmph, this demonic cultivator has been causing trouble for our sect for many years. Today, he finally met his end..." Li Yuan walked away, but in the next moment, his brows furrowed.

"Elder, what's wrong?" Xu Qiuhui asked.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and the pieces of flesh and blood from Horse-Faced Magician fell into his hands. Upon closer inspection, there were mysterious threads connecting the flesh and blood!

"This isn't Horse-Faced Magician..."

"This is a 'Flesh Puppet'!"

Li Yuan's face changed drastically. "We've been deceived—quick, let's return to Qingyang District!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

...

False Foundation Building stage experts were capable of flying in the air, and their speed was extremely fast.

In just a few moments, they arrived dozens of miles away at the Xuan Yang Sect's district.

The district was empty, and everyone had already fled. Even the disciples responsible for guarding the area had scattered and escaped.

Li Yuan landed at the core of the battlefield.

When he saw the scene at the battlefield, even though he was a False Foundation Building stage expert, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Several Qi Refining peak disciples had their necks hollowed out.

Jing Ao's chest was bleeding profusely, with a demonic aura emanating from the wound.

The most tragic was Han Zhong, whose neck seemed to have been bitten off by some wild beast, with his head separated from his body.

He also saw the body of the demonic cultivator.

The body of the demonic cultivator had no head!

Next to the demonic cultivator's corpse, a young man wearing the Xuan Yang Sect's disciple robe held a bloody head in his hand, already unconscious...

He was somewhat surprised and walked over. With a sweep of his divine sense, the blood-stained white bone flag next to it fell into his hand.

"Horse-Faced Magician?!"

He was somewhat astonished!

Horse-Faced Magician had actually died here!

This couldn't be faked. Even though this demonic cultivator had died, his aura was still very strong, rare among Foundation Building stage cultivators. Moreover, the white bone flag was the most compelling evidence.

At this moment, other disciples finally arrived...

When Xu Qiuhui saw Li An, her whole person was shocked and said, "How could he be holding this head? Could it be that he killed this demonic cultivator?!"

She was shocked to the extreme, unable to believe her eyes!
