My carefree life in space

Chapter 256 Encountering the Demon Clan Again

Meanwhile, the battle between Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping and the guardian beast intensified. Sensing that the fragment of the Brahma Bowl had been taken, the guardian beast became even more frenzied, its attacks growing increasingly fierce.

Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping gritted their teeth and resisted the guardian beast's attack with all their might.

Seeing that they were struggling, Lin Shushu was about to step forward to help when she suddenly felt the powerful force emanating from the fused fragments of the Brahma Bowl. An idea struck her, and she decided to try to use this power to communicate mentally with the frantically attacking guardian beast.

She closed her eyes and immersed her consciousness in the power emanating from the Brahma Bowl, attempting to explore the spiritual world of the guardian beast.

At this moment, Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping were locked in a fierce battle with the guardian beast. The guardian beast was like an enraged demon; every attack it launched carried destructive power, and raging flames raged around it, turning the surrounding grass into scorched earth.

Mo Ze's longsword hummed from the impact, and his arm ached from blocking the attacks for so long. Xiao Jingping's white robes were stained with blood in several places, from being accidentally scratched by the guardian beast's claws while dodging the attacks. But neither of them backed down; they cooperated with each other and stubbornly resisted the guardian beast's attacks.

Lin Shushu explored the spiritual world, sensing the anger, loyalty, and confusion within the guardian beast. The anger stemmed from the fact that what it was protecting had been disturbed; the loyalty originated from its unwavering commitment to its mission; and the confusion arose from the fact that it had been trapped here for countless years, unaware of the end of its mission.

Lin Shushu channeled her goodwill and understanding of the Brahma Bowl's mission into the guardian beast through its power. Gradually, the guardian beast's attack rhythm began to slow down, and the frenzied crimson light in its eyes gradually dimmed.

Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping keenly sensed the change in the guardian beast. They temporarily stopped their attack and watched the guardian beast warily.

The guardian beast raised its head, looked at Lin Shushu, and let out a low roar. This roar was no longer filled with anger, but rather with doubt and contemplation. Lin Shushu continued to communicate with it spiritually through the Brahma Bowl, constantly soothing and guiding it.

Finally, a glimmer of understanding flashed in the guardian beast's eyes. The flames around it slowly died down, and its massive body relaxed. It quietly looked at Lin Shushu, a hint of gentleness appearing in its eyes. Then, its body began to gradually become ethereal, eventually transforming into a soft beam of light that flew towards the fragment of the Brahma Bowl in Lin Shushu's hand and disappeared into it.

As the guardian beast merged with it, the light of the Brahma Bowl fragment became even more dazzling, and a more powerful and mellow force emanated from the fragment.

Lin Shushu was pleasantly surprised to feel the change in power. She knew that the guardian beast had recognized her and merged its power into the Brahma Bowl. She silently thanked the guardian beast in her heart and promised not to let the Brahma Bowl fall into the hands of the demons.

Just then, the oppressive force they had felt as soon as they entered the forest vanished instantly, and their cultivation levels returned to their peak. This change made them all breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's go!" Lin Shushu said to Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping. Their objective had been achieved; they needed to obtain the remaining four fragments of the Brahma Bowl as soon as possible, before the Demon Clan received the news.

However, things don't always go as planned. The moment they stepped out of the forest, they were surrounded by a group of demons. A suffocating, oppressive aura filled the air, making it hard to breathe.

The three instantly became alert and quickly assumed their fighting stances.

Lin Shushu's eyes were firm and sharp, and her spiritual energy surged slightly around her. Mo Ze drew his longsword, its blade gleaming with a cold light, and sword energy swirled around him. Xiao Jingping held his sword, his expression calm, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding demons like lightning.

The leading demon was tall and imposing, his black robes fluttering in the wind. His face was ashen, and his eyes emitted a ghostly green light, exuding endless gloom and cruelty. His strength was in no way inferior to the powerful demon who had appeared in Lanyue City before. Powerful demonic energy surged from his body, as if it would devour everything around him.

"You are the ones who killed my clan's powerful members in Lanyue City. Hand over the fragments of the Brahma Bowl, and you might at least have a complete corpse." His voice was low and cold, like a curse from the deepest hell.

Lin Shushu snorted coldly and replied without fear, "If you want the fragments of the Brahma Bowl, then let's see if you have the ability!"

Xiao Jingping also shouted loudly, "With us here, you won't succeed!"

Mo Ze frowned slightly, staring intently at the demon leader. He stood silently beside Lin Shushu, radiating a powerful aura that demonstrated his firm stance.

Seeing the three of them so defiant, the demon leader's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Then don't blame me for being impolite!" Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the surrounding demons pounced on Lin Shushu and the other two like hungry wolves.

Mo Ze took the lead in meeting the enemy. He moved like lightning, rushing into the demon horde. With his longsword, sharp sword energies crisscrossed, and several demons were instantly struck by the sword energies, screaming as they flew backward.

Xiao Jingping was not to be outdone. He displayed exquisite movement techniques, moving freely among the demons. His sword gleamed with a cold light, and each strike accurately pierced the demons' vital points. In an instant, blood splattered among the demons.

Lin Shushu stood still, keeping a close eye on the demon leader's movements in case he suddenly attacked.

As the battle continued, the number of demons on the scene dwindled under the fierce attacks of Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping, leaving the ground littered with demon corpses.

The demon leader finally lost his temper. His eyes flashed with venomous light, and with a roar, he pounced on Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping like a black lightning bolt. A black spear instantly materialized in his hand, and demonic energy emanated from wherever it passed.

The moment the demon leader launched his attack, Lin Shushu moved as well.

With a flash, she moved like a light streak of light, rushing towards the demon leader. The instant she approached, she channeled her spiritual power into the Star Mirror, causing it to erupt with a dazzling light containing a powerful and mysterious force, shooting straight towards the demon leader.

Sensing the attack from behind, the demon leader had to divert some of his strength to defend against Lin Shushu. He dodged to the side, his spear sweeping towards Lin Shushu's light. With a deafening boom, the light collided with the spear, generating a powerful impact that sent surrounding demons and trees flying.

Taking advantage of the moment when the demon leader was distracted, Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping exchanged a glance and simultaneously launched their strongest attack.

Mo Ze concentrated all his spiritual power into his longsword, causing it to shine brightly. A massive golden sword aura slashed towards the demon leader. Xiao Jingping, meanwhile, formed hand seals, and his sword shot out several silver spiritual energy arrows, which flew towards the demon leader like meteors.

Faced with the combined attack of the three, the demon leader's expression turned extremely ugly. He quickly conjured a thick black demonic energy shield in front of him, and sword energy and spiritual energy arrows struck the shield, producing a series of crackling sounds.

Lin Shushu seized the opportunity and shot an even more condensed beam of light towards the shield. Under the impact of the light, the shield finally developed a crack, which then rapidly spread, and with a "bang," the shield shattered.

The demon leader, having lost the protection of his shield, was struck by sword energy and spiritual arrows. His body was as if struck by lightning, and he flew backward dozens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
