Red Moon Demon gasped for air.
Having imrsed herself in research for several days and nights without rest, it ultimately affected her ability to utilize her full strength.
Fatigue surged, making her speed a bit slower.
Fortunately, the thick smoke and blazing fires around provided so cover.
"Red, Red Moon Demon?!"
Suddenly, several panicked servants rushed out of the smoke.
They were clearly startled upon seeing Red Moon Demon.
Red Moon Demon sharply noticed that these people were holding various pieces of jade jewelry on their necks and wrists or gripping a handful in their hands.
Clearly, they had looted the cloth workshop and were planning to escape.
Red Moon Demon's gaze instantly turned icy.
The Luo Shen Cloth Workshop was not entirely made up of demons.
To ensure the workshop's secrecy, many human servants were also recruited.
These people were so of them.
"Humans, truly unreliable!"
In her anger, Red Moon Demon swiftly bypassed them.
Hissss!
The necks of these individuals burst open with bloodlines, their corpses separating from their heads as they fell dead.
Having dealt with them, Red Moon Demon did not stop but continued towards the nearest secret tunnel.
"Almost there! Almost there!! The entrance to the secret tunnel is right ahead!!"
Although surrounded by thick smoke, Red Moon Demon precisely rembered the direction.
But just as she approached the tunnel, she noticed soone standing at the entrance amidst the smoke.
The person was facing away from her, holding the head of a Turtle Demon. Seemingly hearing so noise, he slowly turned around to face Red Moon Demon.
"Oh?"
A smile curved the corners of his mouth.
"Red Moon Demon? What a coincidence, I just learned about a secret tunnel from this fellow, and was about to co seal it off when I caught a big fish."
He casually threw the bag containing the demon towards Red Moon Demon.
Accompanied by the rolling sound of the Turtle Demon's head, Red Moon Demon finally recognized the man.
"[Hundred Slashes]... Liu Card!"
Red Moon Demon had been in Tianyuan Town for many years and recognized the well-known Households Commander Liu.
But she couldn't understand why her re presence had alard two Thousand Households to ambush her! It was as if... they intended to completely eradicate her with thunderous asures!
Thump, thump, thump!
At that mont, rapid footsteps approached from behind.
Turning around, the familiar figure who was chasing her had now beco visible through the thick fog, slowly stepping closer.
"It seems Liu Qianhu has already intercepted her; I was too impatient."
Households Commander Liu smiled slightly, slowly drawing his sword.
"Su Qianhu, it seems almost unfair for us to join forces against one demon. Isn't it too much like using a cleaver to kill a chicken?"
"Ha ha ha! To eliminate demons, why bother about such details! I've long heard of your renowned Hundred Slashes, capable of delivering a hundred slashes in a blink! Today, I want to see for myself whether your sword or my Swift Wind Sword is faster."
"Alright, I've also heard about your Swift Wind Sword, with its invisible strikes that wound at a distance. Today is a great chance to witness it."
The two of them encircled Red Moon Demon, one in front and one behind, as if having a casual conversation from afar.
Their calm deanor seed to show complete confidence, not taking her seriously at all!
Seeing herself cornered by two great masters, Red Moon Demon gradually cald down.
With no chance of escape, the only option left was... battle!
"Ha...haha...hahahaha!!!"
With one hand, she covered her face.
Red Moon Demon lowered her head, emitting a wild, piercing laugh.
Households Commander Liu instantly showed a cautious expression.
Even facing a demon, he remained vigilant.
"Why are you laughing, Red Moon Demon?"
"Need you ask? In such a desperate situation, she must realize she's dood and has gone mad."
Su Qianhu grinned, completely unconcerned, assuming Red Moon Demon posed no threat.
"If I first slay the steward, then the maid, this Red Moon Demon probably won't be much more challenging."
Just then, Red Moon Demon spoke up.
"You think you've got cornered?"
Boom!!!
A bloody mist explosively burst out from her body!
In an instant, the beautiful human skin was shredded into fragnts, and her true form, the Red Moon True Form, gradually erged from the blood mist, ethereal and ghostly.
Her plump, moon-like shape, like the actual moon, hovered a ter or two above the ground.
Apart from being blood-colored, its appearance was almost indistinguishable from the usual full moon.
Squeak!
As both Households Commanders tensed and beca alert,
the cratered surface of the Red Moon suddenly opened its eyes.
First, there was one eye.
Then two, three, four... countless eyes of varying sizes densely covered the entire blood-colored moon, creating a bizarre and insane spectacle.
"This Red Moon Demon is not right!"
"Strike first!"
Su Qianhu suddenly drew his sword.
Households Commander Liu had already unsheathed his.
Whizz!!
The sound of sword and blade rang out almost simultaneously, attacking from both sides, inescapable!
But, at the very mont they struck,
a piercing noise, louder than the sound of the swords, burst forth from the Red Moon Demon!
Woooo!!!
It was a sharp, screeching sound, like a boiling kettle!
Accompanied by the sound, billowing red steam erupted!
Just as the blade and sword struck, billowing red steam sprayed out wildly!
In an instant, the entire area was engulfed in red steam, visibility reduced to zero!
Whether it was Su Qianhu or Households Commander Liu, they both felt their strike hit the mark, but... the Red Moon Demon still made a sound.
