"Don't worry, I will make sure justice is served for you." Seeing the plight of this villager, Ye Tianfan was truly moved.
In the past, before coming to this world, whenever he watched TV, the various cute demons depicted, even the bad ones, weren't that bad. At most, they'd cause some minor destruction and then get captured as pets.
Moreover, after arriving in this world, his master taught him that every part of a demon beast is valuable. When encountered, deal with it or capture it.
Before experiencing this, Ye Tianfan thought, just how brutal can a demon beast be? Even the cultivators were merely scared into hiding from them.
But after going through this, Ye Tianfan understood that for these cultivators, demon beasts are indeed not that brutal. In fact, cultivators stand above demon beasts in the food chain.
But for these mortals, demon beasts are not only brutal—it's brutality beyond reason.
Not only did they attack the village at night, stealing countless livestock, but they also kidnapped a family, consuming nearly everyone, and let the last heavily injured person go back to report, ordering them to prepare more livestock.
It's clear that the village was essentially being farmed as a cash cow.
This is unbearable, so Ye Tianfan, using the principle of object control, lifted the villager, making him float by his side, and activated a Spiritual Energy Shield to protect him, otherwise the wind pressure from sword flight would surely kill him.
After doing all this, Ye Tianfan quickly flew back to Xiaochi Town. He needed to return at his fastest speed, put this person down in the village, and then come back to deal with the demon beast.
On the way, Ye Tianfan asked the villager about the demon beast's hiding place. By following the trail the villager had crawled, he could find its lair.
After returning to Xiaochi Town and handing the person over to the tearful village head, he rushed back to the previous location and followed the trail to the entrance of a cave.
By now, it was noon, the sun was shining brightly, casting its intense rays on the earth.
Ye Tianfan looked at the lush greenery outside the cave, noticing the tall and straight trees, which struck him as odd. Typically, bloodthirsty demon beasts reside in desolate areas, so how could this bloodthirsty demon beast live in such a thriving environment?
Despite his curiosity, Ye Tianfan ventured inside.
Just upon entering, he noticed a stark contrast between the inside and outside of the cave. Outside, it was sunny and bright; inside, it was dark and gloomy, giving a sense of an abyss.
Ye Tianfan frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding. It wasn't fear; he just sensed that this could be a cold-blooded demon.
This meant it could be a cold-blooded demon, like a snake. If he fought inside the cave, he might be at a disadvantage, given it was the beast's territory.
Nevertheless, Ye Tianfan proceeded, though slowly, to avoid disturbing any potential adversary. If possible, he intended to lure the demon beast out for a fight in the open, where he wouldn't lose.
The deeper he went, the darker it got. Initially, he could faintly see, but soon it became pitch black. If he had to fight now, it would be a significant disadvantage. Realizing this, Ye Tianfan summoned his Fire Lotus Sword. Its crimson glow illuminated the area as far as five feet around him.
Ye Tianfan glanced around, noticing the walls covered with poultry skeletons, a chilling sight, as if each set of bones were staring at him.
Such petty tricks, thinking there might be traps or mechanisms. It was clearly just meant to scare any entrants.
Ye Tianfan chuckled dismissively.
He continued deeper into the cave. It was deathly silent except for the omnipresent remains; even insects seemed absent.
Suddenly, Ye Tianfan noticed a light ahead, with shadows flickering.
Recognizing the light as the demon beast's likely lair, he understood that even its eyes needed illumination.
Cautiously, Ye Tianfan advanced, considering extinguishing the light from his Fire Lotus Sword. If the hallway ahead was entirely dark, any ambush would be visible, and he wouldn't see it.
Turning off the Magic Sword's light, he proceeded cautiously. However, the farther he went, the more poultry remains appeared, covering even the floor.
How did Ye Tianfan know in this pitch-black environment? Because he almost tripped over them.
Finally, Ye Tianfan approached the illuminated area, discerning its vast space, even larger than a soccer field from his past life.
No reason to change the venue later, Ye Tianfan mused.
As he walked further, nearing the reach of the light, he heard a low, ethereal singing from the expansive room.
"I aspire to become celestial,
Boundless joy,
Eat people today,
Eat immortals tomorrow,
What to eat the day after?
The day after, eat gods and demons!"
A female voice gently sang, unseen yet exuding an aura of worldly domination.
Ye Tianfan wore a peculiar expression—impressive indeed, eating immortals and gods! Why not reach for the heavens?
Considering how you skulk around at night, stealing chickens and dogs, forget immortals; you'd shy away from crowded places.
Thinking this, Ye Tianfan decided there was no need for subtlety and boldly stepped in.
Reflecting on his previous cautiousness, he realized how embarrassing it was. To act so prudently against such a feeble demon embarrassed him—time to train harder, he resolved.
"Who? Who are you? Why are you here?" No sooner had Ye Tianfan entered than the demon beast noticed him and fired off its rapid questions.
Finally seeing the demon clearly, Ye Tianfan observed it had a half-human face with a leopard's body, standing upright with human hands, leopard legs, oxen feet, rabbit ears, and a tail at least five meters long.
What did 'half-human face' mean? It had human facial features, but hairy, with fangs on its maw.
But seriously, what on earth was this creature?
Upon spotting Ye Tianfan, the demon quickly hid behind a table, its eyes glued to him, licking its lips as if savoring a delicious morsel.
Ye Tianfan paid no mind to the scene.
