Chapter 162 Lady White Bone
Not only was the woman inside furious, but even Boss Jia, whose good deed had been interrupted, was enraged.
He shoved the beautiful woman in his arms away and stormed out, shouting, "Which dared to ruin my good time?"
When he saw the two men outside wearing official uniforms, his imposing manner weakened by three points: "No, don't think that just because you're from the government, you can trespass on private property. Which government office are you from? I'm going to report you to the county magistrate!"
Jiang Zhilan was so angry at this old man who had just narrowly escaped death but was completely oblivious to it that she laughed. She raised her hand and slapped Master Jia across the face: "You lustful old man, take a good look at your beauty, what kind of thing she really is!"
Her palm strike, imbued with true energy, did not harm Boss Jia's body, but instead shattered the illusion the demon had cast upon him.
The slap sent Boss Jia spinning 180 degrees. Looking inside the room, he froze in shock – the once graceful and beautiful woman inside had been reduced to piles of white bones, a truly terrifying sight.
"Ah, a monster!" Boss Jia cried out, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Actually, he wasn't entirely terrified by the skeletons in the room. The reason he was so energetic before was because all his vital energy had been fully stimulated and concentrated under his tongue. Therefore, he was in a state of extreme excitement, and if that vital energy were sucked away, he would immediately die.
Startled by this, his vital energy dissipated, and the consequences of being corrupted by demonic energy immediately became apparent. His already exhausted body could no longer hold on, and he collapsed to the ground.
"The demonic energy entered his body. Although he survived, he will probably be seriously ill for two months before he can recover his strength." Lin Fei looked at Boss Jia lying on the ground and shook his head: "Being blinded by lust is a lesson for him."
The skeletal beauty inside the house, her eyes gleaming with an eerie light, stared at Lin Fei and his companion outside: "Who exactly are you? I have no grudge against you, why have you come to ruin my plans?"
"No grudges or hatred?" Jiang Zhilan sneered, her hand already on the scabbard. "You audacious fiend, you killed civilians on my human territory and still dare to spout such arrogant words?"
"Humans?" The skeletal beauty scoffed. "Aren't humans just livestock raised by my demon race? I'm just eating a few mortals without any cultivation, what business is it of yours?"
Lin Fei and Jiang Zhilan exchanged a glance—humans are livestock raised by demons, and it is only natural for demons to eat humans. What kind of ancient calendar is this?
In the late ancient times, all the gods and Buddhas vanished without a trace, and the demon race, born with immense strength and extraordinary talents, seized absolute dominance over the land. Humans, born with mortal bodies and weak in strength, became food for the demons and suffered endless bullying.
That period was the early Middle Ages, an era known in human history as the Gray Age.
However, later on, humanity, possessing a unique advantage in understanding the Dao of Heaven, continuously produced powerful individuals, gradually surpassing the demon race in strength. Until the ancient sages stormed the demon palace, slaughtering the ten supreme demon sages, officially ending the demon race's rule over the land.
Nowadays, the demon race has become an object of hatred and hatred for everyone. Those with great strength have been suppressed within various sects, such as the Demon-Subduing Pagoda of the Jade Emperor Sect and the Relic Pagoda Forest of the Thunder Sound Temple.
Those who were weaker hid far away in the deep mountains and forests, fearing that they would be found and imprisoned by powerful humans.
Lin Fei and Jiang Zhilan both saw the doubt in each other's eyes—could this prodigy be some ancient relic from the Middle Ages? How could he be so unable to discern the situation, thinking that the demon race now reigns supreme?
Seeing that the two remained silent, the skeletal beauty assumed they were afraid and spoke again: "Since you two are somewhat capable, I won't hold it against you. You go your way, and I'll go mine. You two should leave now, and I won't hold it against you two juniors. Let's pretend today's events never happened."
It sounds as if this beautiful skeleton was being magnanimous enough to let them go. Anyone who heard this would probably laugh their heads off.
But Lin Fei and Jiang Zhilan didn't laugh; instead, they became even more nervous—the more this prodigy acted this way, the more it confirmed their suspicions.
This prodigy is likely an ancient relic from the Middle Ages, hence his utter confusion about the current situation. Although his strength may not yet reach the level of a demon general due to his injuries, if he truly is a prodigy who has lived since the Middle Ages, it's hard to guarantee that he doesn't possess some powerful methods that these people haven't seen before.
After all, the medieval period was the most prosperous era for the entire demon race.
"Just who are you, this extraordinary being?" Jiang Zhilan asked with great seriousness. "With your cultivation level, you don't seem like an unknown person."
"Hmph, you mere junior, how dare you ask my name?" The skeletal beauty looked utterly disdainful. "If I hadn't just awakened and my strength wasn't what it used to be, would I need to waste my breath on you two mere juniors? Get out of here now, or I won't be so polite!"
"What arrogance!" Jiang Zhilan frowned and drew her longsword from its sheath. "Officer Li, please cover me first. I'll go and test this monster's strength!"
As she spoke, Jiang Zhilan drew her sword and attacked the skeleton beauty.
This skeletal demon is suspected to be a remnant of an ancient demon race; its methods are unknown. Given the current situation, leaving one person to observe the situation and prevent this demon from employing any unknown and powerful techniques is the safest course of action.
A flash of sword light appeared, and Jiang Zhilan's longsword blazed with light, like a flying phoenix, as it attacked the skeletal demon.
Jiang Zhilan was known as "Colorful Phoenix" in Tianmen Mansion because of her swordsmanship, and this move was the most powerful one in her swordsmanship - Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens.
Facing this skeletal demon that resembled an ancient monster from the Middle Ages, Jiang Zhilan held nothing back and immediately used her trump card.
Sword energy surged like a rainbow, and a phoenix danced across the heavens. The skeletal demon, seeing this, sneered, "A mere human junior dares to be so insolent before me? I'm only giving you a little face, and you, human girl, already think you're something special? Hmph, then I'll teach you a lesson today, you ignorant human junior!"
As she spoke, the skeletal demon completely tore off its illusionary disguise, instantly transforming from a graceful beauty into a sinister skeleton that sent chills down one's spine.
