Chapter 223 49: Cats Have Nine Lives? Good, Then I'll Kill You Nine Times!

Facing this sudden anomaly, a trace of astonishment and terror flashed in the Cat Demon's eyes.

Before it could react, it found a palm gently landing on its chest.

An immense golden radiance burst forth instantly, surging like a tide and thoroughly engulfing it.

It let out a piercing and despairing roar.

The wall plaster trembled and fell from the deafening roar.

Not long after, when the brilliant golden radiance gradually dissipated, everything returned to calm.

Under the power of the Sky Flipping Seal and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, the Cat Demon before Shen Qing was no match.

The once arrogant Cat Demon was now utterly silent.

Shen Qing stood holding a knife in front of the Cat Demon and instructed Ji Youwu, who was behind him: "Get ready to pack up, let's report back."

"Ah? Okay!"

Ji Youwu was startled out of his reverie and only then came to his senses.

When he looked at Shen Qing again, his gaze was completely different.

In the past, they all thought Shen Qing was nothing much, but now it seemed that they were dreadfully wrong.

This Cat Demon, which he had seen clearly, had obviously taken form and was much stronger than the demons he knew, and such a demon was simply not his opponent.

Their dispatch office was far stronger than anyone had imagined.

He truly did not know how Shen Qing had trained to such a level.

Putting away all sorts of thoughts, Ji Youwu hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to deal with the Cat Demon's corpse.

Suddenly, he paused, pointing in surprise at the Cat Demon's body and said: "Lord officers, look!"

Hearing this, Shen Qing looked over and saw that the Cat Demon, which had just been silent, stood up bizarrely, let out a sinister smile, and once again burst with life force.

"You think... that you can kill me like this?"

The Cat Demon slowly lifted its head, a gleam flickering in its eyes.

In the astonished gaze of Shen Qing and Ji Youwu, its enormous form involuntarily shook.

On closer look, they noticed nine shadows appearing behind it, one of which fell off, turning into a wisp of green smoke on the ground, forming a Cat Demon corpse.

Along with the falling of this shadow, the Cat Demon instantly returned to its prime state.

In their astonished eyes, the Cat Demon's body suddenly expanded, and like an arrow released from a bowstring, it lunged at Shen Qing, its claws whistling as they fell with precision.

Shen Qing's reaction was swift. Relying on deep cultivation, he rapidly used his arms as a shield to block this deadly strike.

Even so, the terrifying power contained in the Cat Demon's claws still made Shen Qing feel a tsunami-like force, causing him to involuntarily fly backward and crash heavily into the furniture behind.

The furniture shattered into pieces under Shen Qing's tremendous impact, sawdust flying.

Shen Qing steadied himself, looked down, and found his clothes torn with several gashes, exposing the taut muscles underneath and faintly visible white claw marks. This strike, though not fundamentally harmful, surely made him suffer.

A sly expression appeared on the Cat Demon's face: "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I actually have nine lives. If you really want to kill me completely, you'll have to do it nine times!"

The expected fear did not appear on Shen Qing's face.

"Finished talking?"

"Hmm?"

The Cat Demon looked up at the sound, seeing nothing but determination in Shen Qing's deep-clear eyes, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, only unwavering killing intent and a hint of mockery.

"Cat has nine lives? Fine, then I'll kill you nine times!"

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

Before the Cat Demon could react, a golden palm shadow, carrying a scorching aura, crashed onto its chest.

Muffled thuds continued to emit from the Cat Demon's chest.

The dense demon energy gathered at its chest, blocking Shen Qing's palm firmly.

Unprecedented fear appeared on the Cat Demon's face as it grabbed Shen Qing's arms with its claws, gnawing and even extending its neck in an extremely bizarre gesture to bite Shen Qing's arm.

But it only bit through a shimmering transparent film, leaving just a layer of white marks with its claws and teeth, unable to cause the slightest harm to Shen Qing.

"Had enough biting?"

"Die already!" the Cat Demon roared.

Suddenly, a scorching aura burst forth from Shen Qing's palm.

After cultivating the Six Paths Whale Swallowing Technique, Shen Qing's body held an immensely terrifying amount of True Qi.

The vast amounts of True Qi reversed by the third transformation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill were all unleashed by Shen Qing.

The golden light, mixed with threads of crimson, reduced the pitiful demon energy on the Cat Demon's chest to nothing.

The Cat Demon let out another miserable cry, not understanding what happened before it crashed into the table behind, hitting the wall.

Its body was left with a frail skeleton, sliding down against the wall.

"You've lost your second life."

Shen Qing quietly withdrew his palm.

Ji Youwu, witnessing all of this from the side, was dumbstruck, involuntarily swallowing hard.

Our Lord officers are terrifying.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The same scene quickly appeared on the Cat Demon again, the second shadow fell, revealing a new Cat Demon corpse.

The Cat Demon's look toward Shen Qing changed utterly, from the initial confidence to lacking assurance.

It gritted its teeth, seemingly to bolster itself: "I don't believe you won't exhaust your energy, kill!"

This time, the Cat Demon learned its lesson, no longer wasting words with Shen Qing and directly acted after recovery, fighting fiercely.

It howled skyward, black energy encircling its body, growing larger, as bloodthirsty glints shone in its eyes, charging at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing remained calm, invoking the Six Paths Whale Swallowing Technique serenely.

Centered on him, countless Spiritual Energy in the void was drawn in, merging into his body, filling the previous True Qi depletion instantly.

"Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Fourth Transformation! Kill!"

Bang!

The scorching aura and demon energy collided, causing waves that shook the entire space.

"Wow!"

The Cat Demon's figure fell from midair like autumn leaves.

Maintaining his striking posture, Shen Qing declared: "Good, now your third life is gone!"

The newly revived Cat Demon, having lost four lives, was now desperate. Angry and anxious, it roared: "I must devour you, ah!"

Bang!

"Fourth life..."

"Fifth life..."

"Sixth life..."

Having its seventh life taken consecutively, the Cat Demon was utterly stupefied.

The man before it seemed to have inexhaustible True Qi, showing no signs of depletion.

It saw no hope of victory.

An unspeakable terror spread from deep within its heart, expanding.

Escape!

To flee with its remaining life at any cost.

The survival instinct made it forget its earlier bold words entirely.

It mobilized demon energy, compressing its demon body.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank to the size of a regular house cat, transforming into a black flash, and dashed madly toward the exit.

However, as if anticipating this, Shen Qing pointed a finger.

Pfft.

Intense Essence Qi shot out with precision, hitting the Cat Demon, flipping its small body onto the ground.

Before it could react, a golden fingerprint silently landed on it.

"There, you have one life left!"

The newly revived Cat Demon hastily pleaded for its life: "My lord, spare me... if you kill me, the Goddess won't let you off."

"Goddess?" Shen Qing frowned.

The Cat Demon anxiously said: "My Goddess is the Young Madam of the Zhou Family, with the Zhou Family's power; she can kill you with just a word."

"The Goddess you speak of is a demon, isn't it?" Shen Qing suddenly questioned.

The Cat Demon faltered, unsure why Shen Qing asked, but in the face of life and death, it couldn't think much: "Our Goddess is a Great Demon who attained a human form."

"So, the Zhou Family collaborates with you demons?" Shen Qing's expression turned somber: "Do you know what I hate the most?"

Without waiting for the Cat Demon's answer, Shen Qing declared: "I hate demons like you the most, never satisfied with just eating humans, wanting to imitate them too!"

Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Sixth Transformation.

Bang!

Shen Qing delivered a punch.

The Cat Demon's ninth life was gone!
