Chapter 893: Explosion

“We have a fully furnished guest room if you really intend on staying here tonight.” Yuan said to the Manager and pointed at a certain room down the hallway.

“I don’t need any room.” The Manager said, and she proceeded to leave the building, returning to the training area with the sealed demon.

“Does she really intend on staying out there the whole night? It makes me feel kind of guilty.” Chu Liuxiang asked out loud as she looked at the Manager’s lonely figure through the window in their room.

“Let her do as she pleases. It’s not like I didn’t offer her a room.” Yuan said.

The following morning, after a light breakfast, everyone gathered at the training area.

“Since we stopped with the first group yesterday, the second group will start things off today.”

“Meixiu, Wang Ming, Shi Lang, Wang Bingbing, and Wu Zao. You’re up.” Yuan said to them.

Once they were prepared after a short warmup, Yuan removed the seal on the demon for the third time.

“FUCKING LIVESTOCKS! HOW DARE YOU MESS WITH ME?!” The demon immediately became enraged the moment it came out of its seal.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Ming was the first to act, followed by Shi Lang.

After Yuan’s lecture yesterday, they focused on trying to suppress their fear towards the demon as they confronted it.

Of course, it was easier said than done, and they were still overwhelmed by fear for the first few minutes.

However, as they fought the demon, their fear began to reduce, allowing them to fight more efficiently.

Wang Ming’s sword attacks were sharp and powerful. Shi Lang was incredibly precise with his spear.

The two of them danced beside each other in front of the demon to keep it at bay from the others, who would attack the demon from its blindspot.

Because of their near perfect teamwork, the demon could barely retaliate, and when it would try to retaliate, an arrow would appear from its blindspot and blow a hole in its face, halting its movements for a second, which is enough for the others to catch their breath and continue their onslaught.

After ten minutes of relentless effort from group two, the demon became sealed again.

“I’m exhausted.” Wang Ming fell onto his butt afterward.

“Did you guys secretly practice together? I must say, your teamwork is almost impeccable.” Yuan asked them.

“No, but if you spar enough with someone, you subconsciously predict their movements and instinctively react accordingly.” Shi Lang said.

“Yes, and since we all lived in the same place, we all ended up training with each other.” Wang Bingbing said.

“Furthermore, there are not many disciples within the Jaded Garden that could keep up with us, so we end up practicing with each other more than we like.” Wang Ming sighed.

“I see… It makes perfect sense then.” Yuan nodded.

After pondering for a moment, he asked them, “Do you guys feel confident enough to fight the demon by yourselves now? If you’re not, we can continue fighting in smaller groups.”

“Fighting the demon alone?” They all swallowed nervously at such a thought.

Seeing their reaction, Yuan smiled, “I guess it’s still too early. After all, it’s only the second day. Alright, you will continue fighting in groups, but since it’s clearly too easy with your current numbers, I will split the group even smaller.”

“The new first group will be Wang Ming, Xi Murong, and Meixiu.”

“The second group will be Shi Lang, Wang Bingbing, and Lulu.”

“The third group will be Wu Zao, Hong Xiuquan, and Li Jinxi.”

After a short break, Yuan unsealed the demon and continued their training, and they would quickly realize how losing a single person in their group made it exponentially harder for them to fight the demon.

They were able to seal the demon without getting hurt before, but now they’re all receiving minor injuries, and it took them twice as long to seal the demon with each group taking almost half an hour to seal the demon.

Sometime later, Wang Ming lost his balance for a split second after his attack was deflected, and the demon immediately took advantage of his moment of weakness and went straight for his neck without any hesitation.

‘Shit!’

Death flashed before Wang Ming’s eyes.

“Die, livestock!”

The demon’s claw reached the skin on Wang Ming’s neck and penetrated into his skin, but its entire body froze before it could really pierce his neck.

Wang Ming immediately distanced himself from the demon, and he could feel his own blood dripping down his neck afterward.

“T-Thank you, Yuan…” Wang Ming said in a trembling voice.

“The fight isn’t over yet.” Yuan said to him before removing the restrictions on the demon, allowing it to move again.

However, the demon didn’t continue to fight.

Instead, it turned to look at Yuan.

“What did you just do to my body?”

“As long as you’re within my Demon Sealing Zone. I have complete control over your body.” Yuan calmly responded.

“D-Demon Sealing Zone?”

The demon had been so focused on fighting the others that it didn’t even realize it was trapped inside the Demon Sealing Zone until now.

“I see…”

The demon appeared to realize its situation shortly after.

“If that’s the case, I’d rather die than be a plaything for humans!”

The demon suddenly began expanding like a balloon, and its body also started burning like steel that just came out of the forge.

When Yuan saw this, he immediately shouted, “All of you, get away from the demon! It’s going to explode!”

“What?!”

The others immediately distanced themselves from the demon.

Meanwhile, Yuan shrunk the Demon Sealing Zone until it was only a few meters in diameter.

Once the demon reached its limit, the crystal on its body shattered, causing its body to explode with intense spiritual energy.

The entire mountain shook for a brief moment after the explosion, but because of the Demon Sealing Zone that contained all of the impact, there was no real damage done by it and nobody was hurt.
