Chapter 87 Painted Skin Demon! (Please subscribe!)
  At the same time, there was a mountain forest fifty miles away from Shanxi Town.

Two figures quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, with hundreds of skinned puppets chasing after them.

But the figure is dressed in a snow-white robe and has a face as beautiful as a crown of jade. Who else could it be if he wasn't Zhan Yuming from the Lingshan Taoist Sect?

Next to Zhan Yuming, the junior sister's cheeks were red and she was panting. She turned back to look at the skinned puppet with the green face and fangs chasing after her, and her face turned pale:
  "Senior brother! We are coming after you!"

Zhan Yuming raised his eyebrows, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and snorted coldly:
  "Humph!"

The next moment, Zhan Yuming took out a three-inch mahogany sword from his storage bag. He held the mahogany sword between his index and middle fingers. At the same time, he mobilized his Dantian magic power to inject it into the mahogany sword. The sword pointed in the void and wrote a thunder spell:

"The nine thunders in the sky will cause filth and catastrophe; the devil's ax will slay, and the emperor's spirit will bring down the power; point to the gang for punishment, and point to the hammer for oath; if you don't respect my order, it will turn into a black thunder! I obey the Universal Heavenly Lord to be as urgent as the law orders!"

Whoosh!
  The Taomu Sword came out of his hand and turned into a white light and rushed out.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a huge thunderbolt as thick as a bucket fell from the sky and hit the peach wood sword.

boom!
  There was lightning and thunder, and the Taomu Sword erupted with a terrifying thunder light. Hundreds of skinned puppets were swallowed by the thunder light, and instantly turned into powder and disappeared.

If a practitioner were here at this time and saw this Taoist method, he would definitely say in admiration: What a skill with the Thunder Spirit Sword!

The Five Thunder Spiritual Sword Technique is one of the signature skills of Lingshan Taoism. Using the Five Thunder Sword to control the sword is infinitely powerful.

Obviously, Zhan Yuming is well versed in this method, and he has made the Five Thunder Spiritual Sword technique to the point of proficiency. Even those masters of tone who are in the realm of refining qi may not be as good as Zhan Yuming.

Hundreds of skinned puppets were wiped out by the lightning. Although the skinned puppets had no intelligence, they still had the simple instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. They avoided the location of the lightning and headed straight for Shanxi Town.

Seeing that she was out of danger, the junior sister let out a long sigh of relief, moved her slightly bulging chest, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Suddenly she realized something again, and the junior sister said anxiously:
  "Senior Brother Zhan! These skinned puppets are heading towards Shanxi Town. We have to go back to the mountain gate to ask for help. If it's too late, it will be too late."

however.

Zhan Yuming didn't respond. He stood there and looked in the direction where the skinned puppet left, with a strange look in his eyes:
  "Is it a demon? An incomplete demon..."

Seeing that Zhan Yuming didn't respond for a long time, the junior sister couldn't help but stamp her feet anxiously:

"Brother!"

Zhan Yuming finally reacted, without showing any expression on his face. He glanced at his junior sister and said in an indifferent tone:

"I have my own opinion on this matter."

"But senior brother, there are one hundred thousand people in Shanxi Town..."

"I said, I have my own opinion on this matter!"

Zhan Yuming's face suddenly turned cold and he said something coldly.

The words that the junior sister had not yet spoken were choked in her mouth, and her eyes turned red.

Seeing the junior sister's appearance, Zhan Yuming's expression softened, he touched the girl's head, narrowed his eyes, and said with a hint of coldness in his tone:

"Junior sister, you have to know that sometimes, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make some choices."

The junior sister nodded as if she understood, but did not dare to ask again.

Zhan Yuming's attention was not on his junior sister at all. He looked in the direction of Shanxi Town with a pair of cold eyes. The figure of the young man appeared in his mind, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
  "The demon's remains..."
-
  Far outside Shanxi Town, dark clouds were also covering the city at this time.

At this time, outside Shanxi City, the densely packed skinned puppets were like a black tide, surging forward. From a distance, it looked like zombies besieging the city.

Well, the immortal version of Dead Rising.

On the city wall, Chen Yan, Liu Laodao and others stood at the highest point, looking down at the skinned puppets coming fiercely from all directions. Everyone's faces turned pale subconsciously, and the roars shocked their souls. The timid ones even lost their legs. Hit the buttocks and fall to the ground.

Can this really be stopped?

"Have all the people in the outer city moved to the inner city?"

Standing at the top of the city, looking at the skinned puppet under the city, the young man said calmly.

Perhaps influenced by the young man's calm mood, the mood of Deng Hong and his group also stabilized a lot. Deng Hong took a step forward and replied respectfully:

"Reporting to your lord, a total of more than 4,800 households in the outer city have been moved to the inner city." The young man nodded and asked again:

"How prepared are the defenses of the inner city?"

"All three thousand young men gathered have been working overtime to consolidate the defense of the inner city. It is expected to be completed tonight."

Speaking of this, Deng Hong showed hesitation on his face:

"only……"

"Just what?"

Deng Hong glanced at the young man and said with some hesitation: "It's just that there is not much food in the city. According to statistics, it can last for up to seven days. After seven days, there will be a danger of running out of food..."

"Seven days?"

The young man narrowed his eyes and nodded:
  "The officer knows."

Seeing this, Yuantong on the side couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, can we really hold on?"

"Do you think you still have a chance to escape?"

Chen Yan glanced at him sideways and said lightly.

Yuantong's tone was stagnant and his expression was sarcastic.

Ten thousand skinned puppets are just under the city. Not to mention his real power, even the martial arts master is just delivering food when he goes down.

Now that the escape route has been cut off, the only option left is to believe in the young man.

Fortunately, the young man's performance in the past also won everyone's trust. Although they were frightened, as long as the young man was there and he remained calm, they would not panic.

Secretly, Chen Yan and Liu Laodao looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Push the time forward half an hour.

"Painted skin?"

Chen Yan looked at Liu Laodao in front of him in surprise.

Liu Laodao nodded and said solemnly:

"There are records of demons all over the world. From the manifestation of this demonic disaster, I think the demon hidden in the city is probably a 'painted-skin demon'!"

"The Painted Skin Demon..."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes:
  "You mean, if this demon disguises itself as a human, it will be difficult to detect it? Not even the Eight Views?"

Liu Laodao nodded seriously:
  "This is why the old Taoist said it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the mountains and rivers. It is so difficult to find a painted-skinned demon among one hundred thousand people..."

"No. If I were just pretending to be a human, I could find a way to find it!"

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and said confidently.

"But, if we find it, is there a way to eliminate it?"

The demon was so powerful that Chen Yan did not dare to underestimate it even if it was not yet fully formed.

"As long as I can find it, I'll leave the matter of how to eliminate it to you."

Unexpectedly, it was Liu Laodao who patted his chest and promised.

"Oh? Didn't you say that even if you are not a complete body, you can't deal with it by simply refining the energy? Liu Laodao, you can deal with it with basic energy?"

"Hey...the mountain man has a clever plan."
