Chapter 108: Three Years, Heaven Character Demon Slayer (1)
After testing Hong Ying’s cultivation talent, Su Mu decided to keep her.
In the following period of time, Su Mu began to teach the Red Embellishment Qi Refining Technique.
It was the Flying Cloud Breathing Technique of the Flying Cloud Temple.
Hong Ying was different from Su Mu. She started her cultivation from the fire element spiritual energy.
After all, she was born with such an advantage.
..
The strange ‘heavy snow’ in Yuntai Town lasted for seven days.
Seven days later, he suddenly stopped.
The traces on the ground also disappeared completely.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Su Mu saw all these changes and felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that the snow had stopped and everyone was dead.
In the entire Yuntai Town, other than the three of them, there was probably no one else alive!
The meaning of ” snow ” was lost, so it naturally stopped.
What was even stranger was that after the snow stopped, all the townspeople who had been contaminated and mutated returned to their previous appearances.
He plowed and worked every day, just like before, like an ordinary citizen.
But Su Mu knew that these were all illusions!
Every once in a while, these mutated townspeople would reveal their terrifying true appearance and surround the small attic they were in!
The scene of being surrounded by hundreds and thousands of demons made people unable to sleep and eat. Even if they fell asleep, they would be woken up by nightmares!
Su Mu was still alright, but Hong Ying and Su Yu’s father were unable to withstand the pressure.
Especially Mr. Su, who had always been pampered.
He was surrounded by demons and could only move around in this small attic.
Such an environment caused him to wither and age at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His essence, qi, and spirit were getting worse and worse!
Regarding this, Su Mu was helpless and could only try his best to guide him.
However, the effect was not great.
..
Let’s talk about Hong Ying.
Apart from the method of Qi Refinement, Su Mu also taught her the ancient books of the Flying Cloud Temple.
There were many different paths for qi-trainers to develop, and they could learn all kinds of techniques.
Just the righteous path alone had talismans, dao techniques, formations, geomancy, divination, weapon cultivation, and so on.
There were even more heretical methods, such as venomous insects, refining corpses, refining souls, inviting gods, and controlling ghosts. There were countless strange and evil methods.
Currently, Su Mu was focused on cultivating his dao techniques and divine abilities, and also learning how to make talismans.
He didn’t have time to learn anything else.
However, as the fiendish demon attacked again and again, the array formation that Ying Youzi had set up clearly began to weaken!
If they did not take any measures, this safe house would not last long.
Thus, Su Mu told Hong Ying the truth and told her to study formations.
He didn’t want to become a formation master, but he needed to at least have the ability to repair the formation in the pavilion.
After knowing that she would decide how long they could live, Hong Ying worked hard to cultivate the array formation and improved rapidly!
Under the threat of death, Hong Ying’s potential exploded!
A month later, she began to try to repair the array and obtained a certain effect.
..
Time flew by, and soon, another month had passed.
Su Mu, Hong Ying, and Father Su had already stayed in this small attic for more than two months.
As his cultivation increased, Su Mu began to try to abstain from eating as much as possible to save on food.
Although Hong Ying’s cultivation wasn’t as high as Su Mu’s, she still learned to eat as little as possible.
Father Su couldn’t do that.
He was born into a wealthy family, and after taking over the family business, he carried it forward.
After living for more than 50 years, he had long been used to eating fish, meat, and delicacies. He really could not adapt to a hard life.
Furthermore, with Father Su’s body size, he couldn’t eat too little.
After all, he was just an ordinary person.
However, just being full was still torture for him.
After two months, Father Su’s body and spirit had reached their limits!
On this day, Su Mu finished his cultivation, but he didn’t see his father.
His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Su Mu found his father’s hanged corpse in the innermost room of the attic, holding a will in his hand.
Su Mu sighed with mixed feelings. He put down the corpse and took the will.
“Son, I’ve had enough of this bitter life. I won’t accompany you anymore.”
“But you have to live well! You’re the only child of the Smiths, and you’re going to do great things in the future!”
“Also, if the food is not enough for the rest, you can take Hong Ying… I believe you understand.”
“In short, you must survive!”
“If the two of you can leave Yuntai Town alive, hurry up and get married. Quickly give birth to a big fat boy to continue our Su family’s lineage.”
“Live well!”
“Live well!”
..
After reading the messy handwriting, Su Mu let out a long sigh.
Father Su hanged himself because he could not stand the fear and suffering that was worse than being in prison.
On the other hand, he wanted to leave some food for his precious son Su Mu.
In his eyes, there was nothing more precious than Su Mu’s life!
If his life could not compare, Hong Ying’s life could not compare either.
In order not to waste his food, he chose to commit suicide.
Su Mu kept the will close to his body, and then began to think about how to deal with his father’s body.
It was obviously impossible for them to rest in peace. They could not get out.
As for throwing it out…That’s even more impossible to do,
Who knew what those demons would do to this body?
After thinking about it, Su Mu could only think of the method of cremation.
“Father, I’m sorry. Although this doesn’t conform to your concept, this is the only way to deal with your funeral.”
Su Mu excused himself and then used the Fire God Spell to cremate his father’s body.
After the cremation, the ashes were placed in a jade bottle and placed high up in the attic for worship.
..
After Father Su’s death, only Su Mu and Hong Ying were left.
Trapped in such a small space, and faced with such a dangerous situation.
Logically speaking, the two of them should have helped each other and their relationship should have heated up quickly.
However, Su Mu was as calm as a rock!
Even in this situation, he still maintained absolute calmness. While he cultivated with all his might, he also urged Hong Ying to cultivate well.
If she relaxed even a little, Su Mu would scold her harshly.
..
After another month, seven or eight Demon Slayers arrived at Yuntai Town.
It had been half a year since Zhang Shichong sent out a request for help.
Even the daylily is cold!
These few Demon Slayers entered Yuntai Town without noticing anything and did not find anything unusual.
The worst thing was that they were invited into the Su family’s courtyard.
That demon had somehow conjured a “Master Su” and became the head of the Su family.
Of course, there was also a fake Su Mu.
“Master Su” hosted a banquet for those demon slayers.
The banquet was filled with delicacies!
The few demon slayers were running around, hungry and tired.
He didn’t think much about it and started eating and drinking. It was so satisfying!
In the attic, Su Mu used his Heavenly Eye to see this scene and couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.
It was obvious that these demon slayers were not good enough.
They couldn’t even see the true colors of the demons, let alone deal with them.
They were destined to die here.
Sure enough, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, a sumptuous feast was revealed.
It was actually all rotten meat and rotten bones!
Seeing this situation, the few demon slayers turned pale with fright. How could they not know that they were trapped in a devil’s den?!
However, it was already too late. A large number of demons had already surrounded them.
With a few screams, the seven or eight Demon Slayers were all killed on the spot!
After learning about this, Hong Ying was very sad.
Su Mu had never counted on these Demon Slayers, so he was naturally not disappointed.
But Hong Ying didn’t think so.
She had thought that these Demon Slayers were her saviors!
In the end, before he could save them, he had already died.
This blow made Hong Ying even more focused on her cultivation.
She gradually realized that if she wanted to live, she had to rely on herself!
※※※※※※
Spring passed and winter came again.
Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
In these three years, Su Mu and Hong Ying had grown a lot.
Not only his body, but his cultivation had also increased!
Su Mu had cultivated the water and wood element spiritual energy to the small circle stage, and was already cultivating the fire element spiritual energy.
At the age of 12, he refined two of the five qi.
He could already be considered a little genius.
More importantly, on his twelfth birthday, the talent [Bedevilment] was finally activated.
Su Mu had a smooth epiphany and didn’t become a devil.
The first epiphany had greatly increased his mastery of dao techniques and divine arts, and his strength had soared!
For example, the Fire Dragon Spell had evolved from a small fire snake to a fire drake.
Its power had increased by at least ten times!
As for Hong Ying, she had cultivated the Fire Spiritual Energy to perfection and was already cultivating the Earth Spiritual Energy.
At the same time, she was also quite accomplished in array formations.
Without Hong Ying’s help, the formation in the pavilion would not last three years.
But… Three years was basically the limit.
They can’t hold on much longer!
Although Su Mu and Hong Ying were living frugally, their food reserves were almost at the bottom.
More importantly, even though Hong Ying had been fixing it all this time, it was still not enough.
However, under the demons ‘attacks day after day, the array was on the verge of collapse!
Su Mu estimated that he could only hold on for three more times before the demons would break through.
They had to plan ahead!
..
On this day, after Su Mu finished his cultivation, he went to find Hong Ying.
“Get ready, get ready. Three days later, we’ll kill our way out!”
“Since we can’t hold on any longer, let’s kill our way out and fight to the death!”
Hearing this, Hong Ying trembled, but her eyes gradually became firm.
“Yes, sir! Young Master!”
Three years had already made this little servant girl who was afraid of death become tenacious.
In the next three days, Su Mu and Hong Ying rested and prepared themselves for the final desperate fight!
In fact, Su Mu knew very well that with their strength, the possibility of them killing their way out of Yuntai Town was almost zero.
However, it was not Su Mu’s style to sit still and wait for death.
If he wanted to die, he had to die standing!
But what Su Mu didn’t expect was that on the second day of the countdown, two people suddenly barged into Yuntai Town.
In the past three years, many people had entered Yuntai Town by mistake, and they all ended up dead.
However, after Su Mu took a glance at these two people from afar, he could sense that they were extraordinary!
One of them had a majestic figure and an imposing appearance.
He had a full beard and carried five long swords on his back.
He looked around with a murderous aura and a furious expression.
One look and you could tell that he was a big killer!
The other person had the exact opposite temperament.
Dressed in a white Daoist robe, he had a scholarly temperament and a delicate face.
This person didn’t look like a Taoist priest, but more like a handsome young master.
The two of them walked together aimlessly in Yuntai Town like ordinary tourists.
It was only when an old woman appeared that the situation changed.
..
“Two nobles, please buy some old woman’s things. There was still a grandson waiting to be raised at home!”
A hunchbacked old woman with a pitiful face blocked the two of them and tried her best to promote the candied haws she was carrying.
Seeing this, the bearded man grinned and said,
“Alright, then I’ll do you a favor.”
With that, he reached for the candied haws on the old woman’s head.
However, just as his palm was about to touch the candied haws, he suddenly turned around and grabbed at the old woman’s head.
“Crack!”
The burly man’s movements were as fast as lightning.
In the next moment, blood splattered out.
The old woman’s head had been ripped off by him!
It even brought out a section of his spine!
The burly man was still grinning, but his smile was bone-chilling.
He grabbed the old woman’s bloody head and looked around. His smile became even more ferocious!
“Who else wants me to be kind?!”
