Chapter 396: A Small Test (2)
Translator: CKtalon
“Young Master, Young Master.” A pleasantly-surprised shout sounded from afar.
Xu Jingming turned his head and saw the delighted Wu Qi. “Uncle Qi, what’s wrong?”
“Demon,” Wu Qi said excitedly. “I’ve gotten news of a demon.”
Poor Wu Qi had been in the prefecture capital for nearly two months. He often visited teahouses, opera houses, and other crowded places to gather news, but every time he heard the news on the streets, the weaker demons had long been dealt with.
Finally, he heard valuable news today, so Uncle Qi was naturally excited.
“Where?” Xu Jingming flashed to Wu Qi’s side and asked, “Is it still alive?”
“In the south of the city, in the Yufeng residence—it’s said that a concubine turned into a demon after her death!” Wu Qi immediately recounted the information he had gathered. “That demon is very powerful. Yesterday, the officials received news that three Demon Vanquishers had gone over, but their flesh and blood were sucked dry not long after they entered, leaving only their skins.”
“Official Demon Vanquishers?” Xu Jingming was surprised. “I heard that official Demon Vanquishers usually show up in groups of three! The counties in Cheng’an Prefecture usually have three Demon Vanquishers stationed.”
“Yes, sir!” Wu Qi nodded. “Three official Demon Vanquishers will act together and work in a team. Even if they can’t defeat the enemy, they can usually retreat unscathed. Who would’ve thought that they would encounter a tough opponent this time? The three Demon Vanquishers silently died in the Yufeng residence. This demon is impressive, and the Yufeng family has also announced that they are willing to pay anyone who can kill that demon 30,000 taels of silver.”
“I’ll take a look.” Xu Jingming walked out of the residence.
“Young Master, I’ll go with you.” Wu Qi immediately followed. His young master was ultimately too young, so he was still worried. In this world, his young master was the person he cared about the most.
Xu Jingming nodded and smiled. “Uncle Qi, stay outside the residence when the time comes. You’re not allowed to enter.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll listen to you.” Wu Qi nodded immediately.
The two of them headed straight for the south of the city.
The two of them had extraordinary strength and traveled quite quickly. In ten minutes, they arrived outside the Yufeng family residence in the south of the city.
“There are so many people.” Xu Jingming saw 20 to 30 people gathered outside the mansion.
When he got close, he determined that some of these 20 to 30 people were from the Yufeng family, and half of them were Demon Vanquishers. Some bold ones came to watch the commotion. When they noticed Xu Jingming and Wu Qi walking over, they only took a look and didn’t pay them any mind.

“Sirs, the demon in this residence is very strong,” Old Master Yufeng said seriously again. “Three Demon Vanquishers died yesterday. Two more Demon Vanquishers entered after making preparations, only to escape with serious injuries. In my opinion… you have a higher chance of winning if you join forces.”
“Join forces?” Many Demon Vanquishers present muttered to themselves.
If they joined forces and killed the demon, who would end up refining it? Demon Refinement was the goal of the Demon Vanquishers.
“Why don’t I give it a try?” Xu Jingming asked. He didn’t want to waste any time.
“We came first. Brother, let’s go in and give it a try.” The two thin Demon Vanquishers looked almost identical and looked like twins. The two of them glanced at each other and rushed into the residence.
“That’s the second batch entering this morning.”
“Young men sure are bold.”
“Yesterday’s official Demon Vanquisher team consisted of three people. This morning’s two were very prepared, but none of them ended well. This demon… is extraordinary.”
“I’m afraid a fourth-realm Demon Vanquisher is needed.”
The Demon Vanquishers whispered.
Huh??The expression of a gray-robed elder standing in the corner changed. With a tap of his foot, he silently burrowed into the ground and entered the depths of the residence.
Boom! Boom! Boom!?
Huge vines spread out in the residence, accompanied by explosions.
Xu Jingming’s pupils had golden runes, and he could clearly see a blood-colored and ferocious figure inside. He nodded slightly and thought to himself,?Although it’s a little difficult to deal with, it’s still only at the Human Demon level.
In just a few seconds—
Whoosh.
The gray-robed elder appeared outside the residence with both Demon Vanquishers in each hand.
These two Demon Vanquishers were quite miserable. One had a shriveled left arm, his flesh sucked dry. The other had a huge wound on his chest.
The two of them looked at the elder in shame. “Teacher.”
“As long as you’re alive.” The gray-robed elder shook his head slightly and glanced at the other Demon Vanquishers. “This demon needs a fourth-realm expert to have a chance of dealing with her.”
“A fourth-realm Demon Vanquisher?”
The other Demon Vanquishers present were a little vexed. Only Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms in reality could reach the fourth realm in Demon Vanquishing World!
There were similar experts in the prefecture capital, be it the officials, the few large families, or some sect branches. However, these experts rarely took action—they usually targeted Earth Demons.
There were many Lv. 7 cosmic lifeforms like them, and they yearned to refine demons with their minds. But clearly, the demon this time was too strong.
“Uncle Qi, wait here. I’ll give it a try.” Xu Jingming instructed Wu Qi when he saw how afraid the Demon Vanquishers were.
“Sir, may I know your name?” Old Master Yufeng immediately asked. To dare enter at this time meant either rashness or strength!
“Wu Ming.” Xu Jingming nodded. He was still willing to let people know of him.
It couldn’t be helped. Without fame, it was difficult to find demons.
“So it’s Mr. Wu.” Suddenly, two Demon Vanquishers bowed politely.
