Chapter 386 Preparations Before Battle
"This wooden stick may not look impressive, but it is actually a treasure second only to the Tai'a Sword here! If I tell you its name, you will probably understand how powerful it is."
The cat demon teased and arrogantly scratched its whiskers.
"The Demon Expelling Staff! Have you heard of it?"
"The Demon Expelling Staff? Could it be that one?"
Lu Yu had indeed heard of this name. Because this name is quite famous, or to put it another way - it's common knowledge.
The Demon Expelling Staff is a common type of magical tool. It is made from branches of the Brightness God Tree, so it has a strong damaging effect on evil things.
However, it is not very useful against ordinary people or spiritual beasts.
During the previous war between humans and demons, the Demon Expelling Staff was equipped as a standard weapon for the human army.
But now, the demon race is declining, and even the demon race rarely appears within the human activity range. Coupled with the decreasing number of Brightness God Trees, the appearance of the Demon Expelling Staff has become increasingly rare.
"The Demon Expelling Staff is useful against the demon race, but it seems to be only slightly stronger than an ordinary wooden stick when used against humans, right?"
Lu Yu reached out and took the Demon Expelling Staff, weighing it in his hand.
It was quite heavy. If one didn't look at its appearance, they might mistake it for an iron rod.
"Tsk tsk... You don't understand, do you?"
The cat demon waved its paw at Lu Yu.
"The Demon Expelling Staff is not aimed at the demon or the demon race. It is aimed at evil thoughts, you know? As long as you have evil thoughts in your heart, regardless of your race, the Demon Expelling Staff can cause great harm to you."
"You mean evil thoughts?"
With just one sentence from the cat demon, Lu Yu understood.
The Demon Expelling Staff is truly aimed at evil thoughts.
What are evil thoughts? Killing is an evil thought, greed is an evil thought, jealousy is an evil thought...
In short, the stronger the evil thought, the greater the damage caused by the Demon Expelling Staff.
The demon race itself is a bloodthirsty race, so the Demon Expelling Staff causes indiscriminate and immense damage to them.
The same goes for the demon race. The instinct of a wild beast is to prey on the weak.
But humans are different.
Although humans also have evil thoughts, most of the time they can control these thoughts well. Therefore, the effectiveness of the Demon Expelling Staff against humans is extremely poor!
"Those guys who came to the Tianya City ruins are here to kill and plunder, so they naturally have strong evil thoughts. The Demon Expelling Staff is just right for dealing with them."
"Not bad."
Lu Yu nodded.
From eavesdropping on the conversation of Kong Sheng and the others just now, it was clear that these guys were not good people by nature.
So at this moment, the Demon Expelling Staff was indeed a good weapon.
"Alright, I will borrow the Demon Expelling Staff to deal with those guys. I will return it to you after the battle is over."
Lu Yu took the Demon Expelling Staff and infused it with spiritual power.
Surprisingly, this Demon Expelling Staff made from the branches of the Brightness God Tree had a very high compatibility with spiritual power.
Moreover, when his spiritual power was infused into it, the power released from the tip of the Demon Expelling Staff was even amplified by three times.
If this much spiritual power were to strike an enemy with evil thoughts, the damage caused would be quite substantial.
"Not bad, it's a good weapon!"
"Hehe, how could the weapons in my collection be anything less than top-notch? So, are you confident in dealing with those guys now?"
"Maybe we can give it a try, but the chances of success are not very high," Lu Yu said cautiously.
After all, there were two Gold Core stage cultivators on the other side, and the remaining two were also at the Foundation Building stage.
They were outnumbered and their strength was inferior. How could they fight such a battle?
Apart from setting up a few traps to restrict the opponents in advance, Lu Yu and his team had no chance.
"Lead them into the main hall. I can control the cat spirit statue to deal with one Gold Core stage cultivator. Can't you defeat the rest?" Lu Yu suggested.
"Wait, you can actually deal with a Gold Core stage cultivator? Can you barely hold them off or can you eliminate them?" they asked.
"I can eliminate them with a little more time," the cat demon replied, licking its paw with an arrogant expression.
Seeing its confident appearance, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.
Fortunately, when he came to the Tianya City ruins last time, he didn't do anything excessive to this cat demon. Otherwise, he might have become a subordinate ghost of that cat spirit statue.
When he first entered this main hall, he felt that something was wrong with that statue. Just as he suspected!
While Lu Yu and the cat demon were discussing how to deal with Kong Sheng and the others, Bai Xiaoxi, along with Ling Tianxin and two other women, had already set up a formation in the corridor in front of the main hall.
After setting up the formation, they realized that Lu Yu hadn't come out yet, so they cautiously entered the main hall to find him.
"You're here. Come over and let's discuss how to deal with those guys later," Lu Yu said, waving at them as they entered the main hall.
"Oh, is this the cat demon you mentioned before? It's so cute!" Ling Tianxin exclaimed when she saw the palm-sized cat demon. Without waiting for its reaction, she rushed over and picked it up, holding it in her arms.
"Ah, it's so fluffy and cute, I can't handle it..." she exclaimed, rubbing the cat against her face and showing a thoroughly delighted expression.
She was enjoying herself, but it was pitiful for this cat demon that could even confront a Gold Core stage cultivator.
"Ah, woman! Help me, help me..." Seeing its dejected expression, Lu Yu felt speechless.
Women were truly terrifying creatures. He was lucky enough that Ling Tianxin didn't do anything to harm the cat demon. Otherwise, it might have become her pet.
"Just endure it for a little longer, it'll be fine soon," Lu Yu tried to console it, but his words were of little comfort. Bai Xiaoxi, who was standing nearby, almost laughed herself to death.
"Hehe, this is hilarious. The legendary nine-lives cat has been mistaken for a pet. Hmm... it seems like this cat only has one life left. Should we eliminate it and take its demon pill?" she suggested.
"Ah, you fox, how dare you have such thoughts! I'll fight you to the death. I'll fight you..." The cat demon, suppressed by Ling Tianxin, gradually started begging for mercy.
After a while, the two women and the cat demon finally quieted down.
After breaking free from Ling Tianxin's affectionate touch, the cat demon quickly jumped onto Lu Yu's shoulder.
It didn't want to encounter such terrifying creatures as women ever again in its life.
"Alright, everyone, stop fooling around. Let's quickly arrange the battle plan for the next fight. Then we'll lure those guys over and take them all down!" Lu Yu said.
"Yes! We must teach them a lesson! They want to deceive me? Let them all die!" Ling Tianxin hated Kong Sheng and the others the most.
They had no previous interactions with them, but just because their strength was strong enough to be an obstacle, they schemed against them?
The actions of the Greedy Wolf Hall made them feel an inexplicable chill.
