Chapter 164 Heavenly Thunder Subdues Demons
"What a powerful monster!" Upon seeing this scene, Lin Fei's expression changed drastically: "It seems that even the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill can't withstand it this time!"
This dense demonic aura is already very close to the level of a demon general, which is equivalent to the realm of a human cultivator who has opened the gates of heaven and earth and reached the half-step Dharma form realm.
This level of demonic energy is so powerful that even Lin Fei's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill might not be able to withstand it.
He picked up the still unconscious Boss Jia from the ground and tossed him to Jiang Zhilan, saying, "Officer Jiang, you retreat to a distance. I'm going to use the Heavenly Thunder Formation to deal with this monster!"
This monster's power has exceeded Lin Fei's expectations. Relying solely on his own martial arts skills, he fears it will be insufficient to defeat it. In this situation, the only option is to use the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation to deal with this demon.
Although Jiang Zhilan had never liked Lin Fei, she knew in her heart that Lin Fei's ranking on the Power Ranking was higher than hers. This was because he had once used the Heavenly Thunder Formation to break the Lesser Arhat Formation of Leiyin Temple, a remarkable achievement.
Jiang Zhilan knew she couldn't handle the situation, so she left it to Lin Fei. She grabbed Boss Jia with one hand and quickly retreated.
Yan Yan, on the other hand, had already retreated to a far distance. If it weren't for the demon-binding rope still binding her hands, she probably would have already slipped away.
Yan Yan blinked her eyes as she watched the battle, muttering to herself, "I didn't expect this scoundrel to be so powerful, able to deal with even a monster of this level!"
……
"Ding!"
"I already possess the Nine Heavens Thunder Array Diagram. Activate the Nine Heavens Thunder Array? (Each use requires 5,000 merit points to provide array energy, lasting for one incense stick's time.)"
……
The bones corrupted by demonic energy had already spread to Lin Fei's feet. Without further hesitation, Lin Fei raised his hand and set up the Nine Heavens Thunder Array.
"Crack!" A bolt of lightning struck down, instantly shattering the white bones that had grown from the ground.
The power of thunder is the most vast and powerful force in the world, and can be said to be the nemesis of any evil.
A bolt of lightning struck, shattering large chunks of white bone into dust. Yet, those bones seemed endless, continuously growing back up from the earth, one by one.
"The Nine Heavens Thunder Formation? It's that old bastard Wen Zhong's formation!" the skeletal demon roared. "I thought you were some unruly bald monk, but it turns out you're a remnant of the Heavenly Court!"
Bolts of lightning continuously struck down from the sky, filling the entire Qinghe County with rolling thunder. Fortunately, Magistrate Sun had already anticipated a major battle and evacuated the crowds in advance; otherwise, countless civilians would have perished from the lightning strikes alone.
The white bones on the ground, though constantly being shattered, seemed endless, growing out of the ground like sharp thorns, piercing towards Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, with a layer of golden bell true energy above him, stood amidst piles of white bones, locked in a stalemate with the white bone demon.
Although the skeletal demon appeared to be at a disadvantage in its confrontation with the heavenly lightning, it was not something Lin Fei could accomplish in a short time if he wanted to completely defeat it.
"No, I have to find a way to help that kid." Jiang Zhilan sighed, watching from the side, feeling extremely anxious.
As the top-ranking constable of Tianmen Prefecture, she could only watch helplessly as Lin Fei, a mere bronze-ranking constable, fought against a demon, unable to intervene at all. This made the usually proud and arrogant Jiang Zhilan quite embarrassed.
Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly looked towards the pawnshop room: "That's right, that painting! Since this skeletal demon has hidden its true form in that painting, perhaps there's some secret hidden inside!"
It must be said that Jiang Zhilan truly lives up to her title as the top constable of Tianmen Prefecture; she can pinpoint the crux of the problem in an instant.
With the cultivation level of this skeletal demon, she could easily conceal her true form within other affairs. Having committed so many murders in Qinghe County, there was absolutely no need for her to constantly hide within the same painting and attract attention.
Perhaps that painting holds some unspeakable secret about this skeletal monster!
Jiang Zhilan made up her mind in a short time. She circulated her true energy to form a protective aura and rushed towards the pawnshop with lightning speed.
At this moment, the skeletal demon was fighting Lin Fei to a critical juncture. Under the power of the heavenly thunder, she could only barely hold on and avoid being defeated by Lin Fei in a short time.
But seeing Jiang Zhilan rush into the house, the Bone Demon suddenly shouted, "Little girl, what do you want to do?"
She suddenly raised her hand, and a huge white bone shot out from the ground, rushing towards Jiang Zhilan like a venomous snake.
Lin Fei's eyes darted around, and he instantly understood Jiang Zhilan's intention. He laughed and said, "You devil, do you think you have any room to be distracted right now?"
As he spoke, another bolt of lightning struck down, instantly shattering the enormous white bone into fragments.
Lin Fei could tell that the Bone Demon was reacting unusually strongly to Jiang Zhilan's behavior. It seemed that the portrait in the room was also very important to her.
Lin Fei naturally wouldn't allow the White Bone Demon to stop Jiang Zhilan, and seeing this, he increased the frequency and power of the heavenly thunder strikes.
Lady White Bone was already struggling to resist Lin Fei's Nine Heavens Thunder Array, and the power of the heavenly thunder was particularly effective at suppressing her evil skeletal demonic energy. Now, Lin Fei intensified the power of the thunder array. Lady White Bone was even more overwhelmed, unable to spare any energy to stop Jiang Zhilan from entering the house.
The moment she was distracted, Lin Fei struck the White Bone Demon with a bolt of lightning, and in order to save his own life, the White Bone Demon could no longer care about Jiang Zhilan.
……
Jiang Zhilan then barged into the house and quickly found the painting hanging inside.
"Strange, no matter how you look at it, there's nothing unusual about this painting. Why would that demon value it so much?" Jiang Zhilan looked the painting up and down, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the painting was nothing more than an ordinary scroll, not some extraordinary treasure.
With the cultivation level of that skeletal demon, how could he value this painting so much that he would even risk exposing his identity and hide his true form in this painting when committing crimes?
Jiang Zhilan racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what the painting meant. So she simply took the scroll down from the wall and went outside.
At this moment, the White Bone Demon was even more defeated than before, because he had been distracted and Lin Fei had seized the initiative, leaving him unable to raise his head.
Jiang Zhilan smiled slightly and raised the scroll in her hand.
