Chapter 225: Chapter 102: Family Letter, Supreme Loneliness, Incense Offering Path

The drought demon enters the city, white bones patrol the streets, the demon sits in a chariot, and the evil spirits carry the sedan. What a bizarre and sinister scene of demons roaming the city!

...

Li Xuan couldn’t pinpoint the drought demon through the demonic qi, but the rapidly increasing white bones let him know the general location of the drought demon.

He directed the White Bone Demon to surround from all directions, but had the ghostly chariot run in the opposite direction.

He held incense.

Appearing next to the drought demon was a matter of minutes.

With incense, even if he and the drought demon were separated by tens of miles, it was like being face to face.

This kind of thing was beyond human imagination long ago. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The ends of the earth seem as close as the eye, a knife at the ends of the earth, but after a moment it can enter your throat.

This was just the rudimentary use of incense, not even at the level of the real Incense Fire Divine Realm.

"The crisis is lurking, going to die..." Li Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.

Like a primitive man, even with great strength, how could he imagine a sniper rifle could take him out from afar?

"Drought demon..."

"Drought demon..."

Li Xuan murmured.

He clenched his fists.

He couldn’t lose.

He had elderly above and children below; how could he lose?

He couldn’t afford to lose.

As he was chanting, he used the sight of a White Bone Demon to see the drought demon.

A blue robe, head bowed, with hair as dry as straw covering its face, exuding an aura of sadness, hoarsely chanting "Go home, home~~."

The drought demon was blocked and stopped again.

Li Xuan also stopped.

He continued to maneuver the surrounding White Bone Demons to enclose it.

The drought demon suddenly stepped forward, clawing at a mummy.

In an instant, that mummy became even drier...

But a drier mummy was still a mummy, which instead lightened the load on the White Bone Demon.

The White Bone Demon extended its sharp finger bones to clutch the drought demon’s neck.

This seemed like a signal, and at that moment, the White Bone Demons surged over like a tide.

This one hugged the drought demon’s leg, that one grabbed its throat, one dragged its arm, another stabbed its crotch.

The drought demon twisted its body, flinging the White Bone Demons around, crashing with "pa pa" sounds, bones breaking.

However, at that moment the White Bone Demons paid no heed, picking up suitable bones nearby after landing to patch themselves up, then charging back in.

Li Xuan, resting his chin in his hand in the chariot, used the sight of the White Bone Demons to patiently observe the drought demon while comparing it to himself.

The drought demon’s Constitution Attribute and strength attribute were certainly not high, let alone agility.

And critically, it seemed very clumsy.

It cleared things only when blocked by them. It would pursue once attacked, but if it couldn’t kill, it would just leave.

How could this be a sentient being with subjective initiative?

Li Xuan continued to observe, trying to discover the drought demon’s powerful secret.

But the more he looked, the more he felt the drought demon was weak.

It was actually completely stalled by the White Bone Demons, playing a game of "I scatter your bones, you reassemble them for me to scatter again."

Yet, even so, Li Xuan still dared not approach.

After pondering briefly, he stepped out of the chariot, looking around, and found some scattered weapons on the ground.

He picked up some spears discarded by patrolling soldiers and, with a few leaps, reached the city wall on the eastern side of the capital.

At that moment, the city wall was incredibly quiet.

Li Xuan stood behind the battlements, looking distantly at the drought demon surrounded by White Bone Demons.

Suddenly, he lit incense, placing three sticks in the cracks of the city wall.

The incense smoke extended into a golden incense and candle path.

This path twisted and turned, locked onto the drought demon.

Li Xuan placed a spear on the incense path; his right arm suddenly swelled, the blazing fire poison rose like a wolf smoke, and the hand grasping the spear turned black on the outside and red on the inside as if it had just been taken from a furnace without time to quench.

Crack... crack crack...

Li Xuan’s arm drew like a strong bow, then he watched as the incense path shot out.

Crash!

The air exploded in layers of pressure waves.

The spear transformed into a rainbow.

The ends of the earth seemed as close as the eye.

The high-temperature spear turned into a fierce rainbow light and, following the incense path, instantly arrived in front of the drought demon, as if Li Xuan himself was standing before the drought demon to throw it.

Boom!!

The spear pierced the air, instantly puncturing the drought demon and nailing it to the ground severely.

The force of the spear touched the earth with a boom, the ground cracking, shattering as if hit by a missile.

Smoke billowed, white bones flew! Nearby houses also quaked, and a booth not far from the roadside with a sign reading "Chen’s Fish Record" collapsed directly. Immediately, more houses emitted increasingly dense and urgent hissing sounds, and then all collapsed with a "boom"!

The dust rose, everything was misty and unclear.

The group of White Bone Demons dragging the drought demon were already shaken into powder by the force.

And the White Bone Demons scattered by the shockwave began picking up bones, assembling themselves, and surrounding once more.

Li Xuan grabbed another spear, squinting at the mist.

He could feel this thrust had left a pit in the ground.

But what about the drought demon?

What happened to the drought demon?

Finally, the smoke slowly dissipated...

To Li Xuan’s surprise, nothing unexpected happened.

The drought demon was shattered by the spear, the entire form, along with the blue robe, scattered in the deep pit.

But as usual, the flesh seemed long rotten, with not a drop of blood.

Li Xuan abruptly closed his eyes, tapping his head, worried this was another dream.

However, he couldn’t be certain at all.

So, he continued to stare at the drought demon.

The drought demon’s flesh began to shift, like powerful magnets pulling towards each other.
