"Damn fellow, don't come over here!"
The demon in the cave, seeing the immortal crane approaching him again, immediately flew into a rage.
As a demon, he had an innate fear of the Heavenly Punishment.
Even though he had experienced it many times over the years.
But every time it came to this, he still couldn't hide the terror in his heart.
The immortal crane ignored him and continued to move towards the side of the cave.
As the sky turned white, a bolt of lightning, even thicker than before, crashed down towards the immortal crane.
Seeing this, the immortal crane stopped dejectedly, ready to obediently accept this Heavenly Punishment.
However, just as the Heavenly Punishment was about to land on it, a writing brush suddenly appeared before its eyes.
The immortal crane sensed something was wrong, and with great effort, raised its head to look, only to see a young man appear from somewhere, using a Spell to guide the Heavenly Punishment before him.
But the Heavenly Punishment was incredibly powerful and unruly; how could it allow others to control it?
As He Xiuyuan's brush just touched the Heavenly Punishment, the Heavenly Punishment, like a python, directly coiled around He Xiuyuan's arm.
In an instant, multiple bloody marks appeared on He Xiuyuan's arm, and his sleeve was instantly burned away.
"Where did this Cultivator come from? Does he have a death wish too?"
The demon in the cave also saw this scene, and when he saw He Xiuyuan actually use the brush in his hand to intercept the Heavenly Punishment, he immediately sneered.
The immortal crane and he had always been safe from the Heavenly Punishment because they shared its power.
Otherwise, if this Heavenly Punishment were to fall on either of them alone, it would undoubtedly lead to death.
Now, although he didn't know the cultivation level of this Cultivator before him, trying to withstand this Heavenly Punishment with his own body was simply courting death.
Thinking of this, he also watched the scene before him with a sneer.
However, this was also a good thing; with someone else taking on the Heavenly Punishment alone, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
The immortal crane nearby also let out a cry.
Although it didn't know who He Xiuyuan was, seeing He Xiuyuan about to face the Heavenly Punishment alone, it quickly tried to get up and stop him.
But having already suffered the Heavenly Punishment just now, it had no strength left at this point and could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Punishment fell upon He Xiuyuan.
At this moment, He Xiuyuan's expression was solemn, his movements continuous, and he chanted incantations without pause.
"A spark of spiritual light illuminates the heart, turbid taxes dissipate into clouds and smoke."
"The pure Qi of heaven and earth follows my guidance, Yin and Yang harmonize naturally throughout the cosmos."
"As swift as the decree!"
Following He Xiuyuan's guidance, the Heavenly Punishment that had been entanglement around He Xiuyuan's arm was then drawn into the 'Slay' character before him.
And at this moment, the 'Slay' character appearing before him was completely different from its previous appearance.
On the 'Slay' character at this moment, electric light flickered, constantly emitting a buzzing sound, as if the character could disintegrate at any moment.
He Xiuyuan knew that this Heavenly Punishment was not his Spiritual Qi after all, so he naturally couldn't fully control it.
This was a trick, relying on a decree to temporarily make the Heavenly Punishment obedient.
But it wouldn't be long before this character would dissipate.
Knowing that time was short, He Xiuyuan raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the object beneath the nearby cave.
He Xiuyuan could somewhat sense the aura in the cave, and there was also the Seal at the cave entrance overflowing with Spiritual Qi.
With just a slight thought, He Xiuyuan guessed a few things.
The demon in this cave should have been sealed there by another fellow Cultivator.
After confirming this, He Xiuyuan did not hesitate, directly lifting his brush with the 'Slay' character and sending it down into the cave.
And at this moment, the demon beneath the cave, upon seeing He Xiuyuan actually use the Heavenly Punishment to condense such a Spell, was completely stunned.
He did not wait for He Xiuyuan's demise, but instead waited for a complete version of the Heavenly Punishment, and what's more, it was a lightning Spell that amplified the power of the Heavenly Punishment by an unknown amount!
This 'Slay' character, glowing with lightning, had not yet landed on him, but even from this distance, he could already feel its vast power.
If this thing touched him even slightly, he would surely die.
But how was this possible!
He had encountered other Cultivators before, but none of them had been able to turn the power of the Heavenly Punishment to their own use!
How could this guy before him do it?
Or rather... he hadn't been out for hundreds of years, had the Cultivators outside already grown this powerful?
The demon in the cave felt his thoughts becoming chaotic at this moment.
But this was no time for him to think; if he didn't find a solution soon, today would be his death day.
"Daoist priest, Daoist priest, spare me!"
"I haven't done anything, just been sealed here for hundreds of years. Daoist priest, you can't mistakenly kill an innocent demon!"
The demon beneath the cave immediately cried out for mercy.
He only hoped that He Xiuyuan, this Daoist who knew nothing, would stop this killing move.
He Xiuyuan, hearing this, did not stop his hand movements, but sneered, "You might be able to fool others with those words, but trying to fool me, you are far too naive."
The scene just now, combined with some rumors he had heard before coming to the Mount Shi Fang.
He Xiuyuan could somewhat guess a few things about the current situation.
Not to mention, the Spiritual Qi flowing within this Seal clearly showed it was left by a Cultivator.
Combined with the immortal crane's actions nearby, He Xiuyuan did not think his strike would mistakenly kill this demon.
The demon beneath the cave, hearing this, immediately roared.
"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in others' affairs. Leave quickly now, otherwise, when I, the Old Ancestor, break through the Seal, I will surely skin you alive!"
The demon beneath the cave was agitated at this moment, and he threatened He Xiuyuan.
If he didn't stop He Xiuyuan now, he would truly die here!
He Xiuyuan paid no attention to the other party's threat, successfully sent the 'Slay' character full of electric light into the cave, and then the wolf hair on the brush turned into nothingness, leaving only the brush handle.
He Xiuyuan had wrapped the brush in Spiritual Qi just now, barely resisting the Heavenly Punishment for a moment, but ultimately it could not withstand its power.
After the 'Slay' character with electric light fell into the cave, the demon in the cave, in his fear, quickly fled deeper into the cave.
However, the Heavenly Punishment 'Slay' character behind him, like a shark that had smelled blood, immediately pursued the demon.
The utterly dark depths of the cave were illuminated by the electric light, and the small 'Slay' character rapidly descended into the deep part of the cave. Moments later, an extreme flash of electric light exploded violently in the depths of the cave.
