Chapter 819 World 367
"you you you!"
The rat-man looked utterly incredulous: "Which sect in the demon realm are you a disciple of?"
Then, his face quickly changed to a fawning expression: "Judging from your behavior, you must be a witch from some sect, right?"
He shrank back a little and slapped himself across the face. Soon, a red handprint appeared on his face: "Look at me, the witch saved my life. From now on, I will obey the witch's orders without question."
He's really ruthless to himself.
Listening to Yu Xing's inner thoughts, Shen Ruyin also thought so.
And it is precisely because this rat-person is ruthless and quick-witted that she cannot let it live.
“You’re wrong about that,” Shen Ruyin said, her face as cold as ice, her eyes so icy they seemed capable of wounding. “I hate it when people equate me with demons.”
She made a hand seal, causing a layer of ice to condense on the outside of the large container.
After the rat-man begged for mercy, trembling, Shen Ruyin continued, "Since you knew to pretend to be a disciple of the Supreme Sect, how come you didn't recognize that I was also wearing the disciple's robes of the Supreme Sect?"
The rat-man stared in astonishment, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Yu Xing wanted to get closer to see if it was really dizzy, but then complained that the dust on the table hadn't been cleaned and would easily get its paws dirty.
[Xingluo, is it just an act?]
“Of course,” Shen Ruyin replied to Yu Xing, “Sometimes rats are the best at playing dead.”
"The moment you relax your guard, it will immediately look for an opportunity to escape."
"Therefore, when faced with this kind of thing, we must adhere to one principle: eradicate evil completely!"
As Shen Ruyin spoke, she used her sword to part the large bucket and slash at the rat-man, but her swordplay was clumsy and unskilled, not at all like her usual level.
The rat-man, who had already "fainted," immediately jumped up and dodged her sword, but his tail was still severed.
Shen Ruyin shook her head. "They've let the water out like this and even lost their tails. What a waste."
"Looking at how beautiful you are, I never expected you to be such a wicked woman, more ruthless than a demon, without a trace of the benevolence of a disciple of the immortal sect," the rat-man shrieked, running away while still belittling Shen Ruyin, "If I ever have the chance, I will make you know the price of angering me!"
After rat-man finished speaking in a rapid-fire manner, it tried to rush towards the door, but Shen Ruyin had already prepared for it. As soon as it reached the door, it was injured by the talisman and bounced back.
He had been frozen by Shen Ruyin for so long, and then this blow really hurt him. He sat there for a long time, unable to come to his senses.
Seeing that Shen Ruyin didn't make a move, Xingluo immediately understood her meaning: "Xingluo, leave it to me. I definitely won't let it get away!"
Shen Ruyin took a step back and stood in front of the mechanism exit of the stone chamber. She watched as Yu Xing, who didn't seem to mind the dust in the stone chamber at all, lightly jumped to the ground and approached the rat-man step by step.
She did trust Yu Xing, but she trusted her own pre-arranged plans even more.
All those talismans she used before weren't for nothing.
Knowing that Shen Ruyin wouldn't let it go easily, or perhaps thinking that Yu Xing was so small that even with a lot of tails, it might still have a fighting chance, the rat-man activated its cultivation and transformed itself into a big, strong man.
Compared to Yu Xing, its appearance is now as different as that of a grown man and a newborn baby.
Seeing this, Shen Ruyin felt even more relieved.
Yu Xing spends most of his time at the Supreme Sect, where, besides receiving guidance from Lan Yue and Chen Ling, he fights with the spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Peak and goes hunting.
However, its identity is unusual, and the spirit beasts of Beast Taming Peak mostly give it guidance, so it has never actually fought against any enemy.
Shen Ruyin is now a Nascent Soul cultivator, so she can naturally tell that this rat-man is only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and has not yet formed a Golden Core.
Therefore, she deliberately let the rat man go, leaving it for Yu Xing to play with.
Originally, it might have taken some effort for Yu Xing to defeat this rat-man, but after the rat-man voluntarily gave up its advantage of agility, it became no match for Yu Xing.
It is said that cats catch mice not to eat them, but to play with them.
Although Yu Xing is not a cat, her thoughts are similar.
Next, Shen Ruyin saw the rat-man try to punch Yu Xing, but Yu Xing quickly climbed onto his head, slapped his face with his tail, and then kicked him away.
After the rat-man came a couple more times, it realized something was wrong and finally shrank a bit. When it tried to fight Yu Xing with its agility, Yu Xing had already given up and killed it, then looked at Shen Ruyin.
"Yu Xing is great," Shen Ruyin praised, but she didn't intend to keep the rat-man who was no longer of any use.
Seeing that it was still pretending to be dead and looking for an opportunity, I didn't say much and directly unleashed my hidden Nascent Soul stage power.
Now, the rat-man was truly too scared to move.
Perhaps realizing his life was in danger, the rat-man quickly said, "Fairy, spare my life! I know where the disciple of the Supreme Sect who injured me before is buried. I can take you there."
Shen Ruyin remained unmoved.
When a person dies, they still have a corpse. However, when a cultivator dies, unless they possess a secret technique, they will quickly dissipate into the world. This is why the woman from the Tenth Prince's residence only brought back his belongings.
Of course, the most important thing is that they clearly stated that the relics were in this cave. Just because we didn't see them earlier doesn't mean we can't find them.
Even if she really couldn't find it, could she use this demon to help her?
Seeing that Shen Ruyin showed no mercy, the rat-man shouted, "I am a servant of the Demon Lord. If you kill me, you will be going against the Demon Lord!"
"Demon Lord?" Shen Ruyin saw the rat-man immediately change to a smug look, and then she thrust her sword into its heart. She only spoke when the rat-man could no longer maintain its form and reverted to its original rat form.
"Someone like you can be a subordinate of the Demon Lord, so the Demon Lord must not be very capable. There's no need to worry."
The rat was completely dead, but Shen Ruyin did not leave.
She used a fire talisman and burned it on the spot.
Yu Xing tilted his head, about to ask a question, when he saw the rat's pitch-black soul screaming and trying to escape from the flames, but it could not escape and could only be scattered in the end.
Yu Xing was greatly surprised: [They say cats have nine lives, this mouse is no less, is it?]
[It had feigned death multiple times before, which was one thing, but now that its physical body has died, it still managed to preserve its soul.]
If it weren't for Xingluo's quick thinking, it would probably have ended up like the villains in those stories, "blooming again after the spring breeze."
Shen Ruyin was too embarrassed to tell Yu Xing, whose eyes were sparkling, that she had actually learned this from experience.
It's not a matter for this world anymore, there's no need to tell Yu Xing, let's just consider it Shen Ruyin's extraordinary talent.
After thoroughly dealing with the rat-man, Shen Ruyin immediately used magic to give Yu Xing a bath before letting it return to her shoulder.
Yu Xing obediently perched on her shoulder: "Xing Luo, where are we going to find the relics of that Supreme Sect disciple?"
Shen Ruyin pointed to the box that had been blown open by the rat-man, but only the lid was broken.
"Look at this first."
