Chapter 889 - Practice Tool

"Once I unseal the demon, the nine of you will attack the demon and try to seal it again. The stronger your demon sealing aura, the quicker you will seal the demon. Once you're all confident in fighting the demon together, I will be splitting you all into smaller groups."

"Eventually, I want you guys to be able to fight the demons by yourself." Yuan said to them.

"By ourselves?" Shi Lang swallowed nervously.

"One more thing. The demon will obviously be fighting back. As long as its attack won't cause any lethal damage, I won't stop it, so don't expect me to help you block every strike."

"I will give you all a couple more minutes to prepare before I unseal the demon."

"How are we going to do this?" Wang Ming asked the others.

"Who knows. Let's just attack it whenever we get the chance." Shi Lang shrugged.

"Yuan, we're ready." Xi Murong said to him sometime later.

"Alright. I am going to unseal the demon now. Brace yourselves."

Right before he unsealed the demon, Yuan wore a mask over his face.

This puzzled the others, but they didn't have the time to ask him any questions, as the demon was freed from its seal the next moment.

"I AM FINALLY FREE! AHAHAHA!" The demon immediately began laughing the moment it left its seal.

"F-Fuck…" Wang Ming and the others could feel all of their strength and the courage they'd built up leaving their body when they felt the demon's bloodthirsty aura and heard its chilling voice.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their hearts throbbed erratically, like they were on the verge of having a heart attack.

"What are you all doing?! Stop standing there and attack it!"

Someone suddenly shouted at them, but it wasn't Yuan.

Instead, it was Chu Liuxiang, who was the first to make a move.

After shouting at the others, she held her palms towards the demon and released a blast of demon sealing aura at it.

The demon stopped laughing after Chu Liuxiang's attack struck it right in its face, blowing half of its face away.

Once it recovered the next second, the demon turned to look at her and narrowed its eyes, "Humans? No… Demon Sealers! As if I'd let you seal me again after I just broke out of my seal!"

The demon roared before running at Chu Liuxiang.

Whoosh!

An arrow that was enchanted with demon sealing aura suddenly flew at the demon from behind and stabbed it right in the back of its head.

However, the demon ignored Meixiu's attack and continued to run at Chu Liuxiang.

"Stand back!" Li Jinxi suddenly appeared before the demon and fearlessly blocked its path to Chu Liuxiang.

She swung her large sword at it, but the demon avoided it with ease.

Wang Ming and the others also snapped out of their daze and began attacking the demon together.

"A bunch of weaklings! So damn annoying!" The demon roared.

However, there was not much it could do to fight back, as it was severely outnumbered nine to one.

After fifteen minutes of relentless attacking from the Demon Sealing Faction, the demon was finally sealed again.

Seeing that the demon was finally sealed, Wang Ming and a few others immediately fell on their butt and began gasping for air.

"What do you think? Fighting a real demon." Yuan asked them afterward.

"I'm exhausted— mentally. I didn't think there would be such a vast difference between a sealed demon and an unsealed one…" Shi Lang said.

"I did warn you." Yuan smiled.

"Anyways, take an hour to rest. I will split you all into two groups, and you'll fight the demon again then."

While the others rested, the Manager approached Yuan and began shouting at him, "You're using the demon as a practice tool? Are you insane? You said that you'd take care of the demon as soon as possible!"

"Calm down. I have the demon and the situation under control. It won't be able to leave my Demon Sealing Zone."

"Also, this training is necessary for them. After all, what will happen to this world if I suddenly die? If I train them, this world won't be hopeless without me. Of course, I don't plan on dying before I erase all demons from this world, but you never know what fate has planned for you."

"Anyways, do you want to join them? I can teach you demon sealing techniques so that you can also fight demons." Yuan suddenly suggested.

"You want me to…" The Manager looked at him with wide eyes.

"What's wrong? The Lord asked for my help because neither of you can kill demons, right? If that's the case…"

"It won't work." The Manager suddenly interrupted.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"If I could learn demon sealing techniques, I would've learned them long ago." The Manager said.

"So you tried to learn demon sealing techniques with the Qi Family but failed, huh? Don't worry, I am different from the Qi Family. If you study under my instructions, even a mortal can—"

"I said it's impossible." The Manager said, and without explaining further, she turned around and walked away.

Yuan immediately began pondering in silence about the Manager's words.

'There's only one reason why someone cannot learn demon sealing techniques…'

'I see… so that's why…'

A profound smile appeared on his face when he realized the truth.

The Manager stared at Yuan with a frown on her face.

'Why is he smiling? Did he realize it? No, that's impossible… There's no way…' She thought to herself.

An hour later, Yuan split the Demon Sealing Faction into two groups.

"First group will be Chu Liuxiang, Li Jinxi, Xi Murong, and Hong Xiuquan. The second group will be everyone else." Yuan said.

"The first group will go first. Everyone else, you can wait outside the Demon Sealing Zone for your turn."

"Whenever you guys are ready."

Once the first group was ready, Yuan unsealed the demon again.
