NOVEL WEB Chapter 49: A Cat Has Nine Lives? Fine, I'll Kill You Nine Times!
```
Faced with this sudden strange phenomenon, a hint of astonishment and fear flashed in the Cat Demon's eyes.
It hadn't had time to react when it noticed a palm lightly falling on its chest.
A vast and boundless golden light instantly erupted, surging like a tide, completely engulfing it.
It let out a shrill and desperate roar.
The plaster on the walls trembled and fell off in response to the deafening roar.
Not long after, when the dazzling golden light began to fade, all returned to calm.
Under the power of the Sky Flipping Seal and Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, the Cat Demon in front of them was no match for Shen Qing.
The once arrogant Cat Demon was now utterly silent.
Shen Qing, holding his sword, stood before the Cat Demon and instructed Ji Youwu behind him, "Get ready to clean up and report back."
"Ah? Okay!"
Ji Youwu awakened as if from a dream and finally reacted.
Looking at Shen Qing again, his gaze had completely changed.
Previously, they all thought Shen Qing was nothing extraordinary, but now it was clear how wrong they had been.
He could clearly see that this Cat Demon had transformed, much stronger than any demons he was familiar with, yet such a demon was no match for him.
Their dispatch office was far more powerful than anyone had imagined.
Truly, he wondered how he had trained to such a level.
Dismissing the chaotic thoughts from his mind, Ji Youwu hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the Cat Demon's corpse.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, pointing at the Cat Demon's body in surprise and said, "Lord officer, look!"
At his words, Shen Qing looked over, only to see that the once silent Cat Demon had mysteriously risen, wearing a sinister smile, with a surge of renewed vitality.
"Did you think you could kill me just like that?"
The Cat Demon slowly raised its head, a gleam flashing in its eyes.
In the astonished gaze of Shen Qing and Ji Youwu, its massive body shook.
Upon closer inspection, nine shadows appeared behind it, one of which fell, becoming a wisp of green smoke descending to the ground, transforming into a Cat Demon's corpse.
With the fall of this shadow, the Cat Demon instantly returned to its original state.
In their shocked gazes, the Cat Demon suddenly leaped towards Shen Qing like an arrow leaving the bowstring, its claws howling like the wind, aiming precisely.
Shen Qing's reaction was exceedingly swift; relying on profound cultivation, he swiftly used his arms as a shield to block the deadly strike.
However, even so, the terrifying power contained within the Cat Demon's claws still made Shen Qing feel an overwhelming force crashing down, sending him involuntarily flying backward, heavily colliding with the furniture behind him.
The furniture shattered instantly under Shen Qing's immense impact, splinters flying.
Shen Qing steadied himself, looking down to find several cuts had appeared in his clothing, exposing the taut muscles beneath with faint white scratch marks visible, showing that although this strike hadn't injured him fundamentally, it had indeed subjected him to quite a bit of trouble.
A sly expression crossed the Cat Demon's face, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I actually have nine lives. If you truly want to kill me, you'd have to do it nine times!"
An expected look of apprehension did not appear on Shen Qing's face.
"Finished speaking?"
"Hmm?"
The Cat Demon, hearing the voice, looked up to see Shen Qing's clear yet unfathomable pupils, without a trace of emotion, only unwavering killing intent and a faint hint of mockery.
"A cat has nine lives? Fine, then I'll kill you nine times!"
"Bang!"
A loud bang.
The Cat Demon had no time to react as a golden handprint, accompanied by a searing hot aura, slammed onto its chest.
Muffled sounds continuously emanated from the Cat Demon's chest.
The dense demon energy gathered at its chest, stubbornly resisting Shen Qing's palm.
An unprecedented fear appeared on the Cat Demon's face; it grasped Shen Qing's arm with both of its claws, continuously clawing, even extending its neck at an extremely strange angle to bite Shen Qing's upper arm.
Yet it only bit into a layer of crystalline, transparent membrane, leaving only a white mark, unable to harm Shen Qing in the slightest.
"Had enough biting?"
"Die!" the Cat Demon roared.
Suddenly, a surging hot aura erupted in front of his palm.
After practicing the Six Paths Whale Swallowing Technique, the amount of True Qi in Shen Qing's entire body was incredibly fearsome.
These massive quantities of True Qi from the third transformation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill were completely unleashed by Shen Qing.
Threads of crimson mingled among the golden light, eradicating the pitiful demon energy at the Cat Demon's chest until it was traceless.
The Cat Demon let out another scream, its body not yet understanding what happened as it crashed into the desk behind it against the wall.
Its body was reduced to a fragile skeleton, sliding down the wall.
"Your second life is gone."
Shen Qing silently withdrew his palm.
Ji Youwu, witnessing all this on the side, was dumbfounded, involuntarily swallowing hard.
Our Lord officer is terrifying.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The same scene rapidly unfolded on the Cat Demon's body, with the second shadow falling, appearing as a new Cat Demon corpse.
At this moment, the Cat Demon looked at Shen Qing with a completely changed expression, from the previous reliance to a lack of confidence.
Clenching its teeth, like encouraging itself, it said, "I don't believe you won't run out of energy. Kill!"
This time, the Cat Demon learned its lesson, not exchanging more words with Shen Qing, attacking directly after resurrection with genuine fury.
It wailed up towards the sky, black energy swirling around its body, its form becoming even more enormous with eyes flickering with bloodthirsty light, charging at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing, composed, calmly activated the Six Paths Whale Swallowing Technique.
Centered on him, countless Spiritual Energy in the void was drawn, integrating into his body, instantly restoring the True Qi deficiency from before.
"Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Fourth Transformation! Kill!"
Bang!
The intense aura and demon energy collided, setting off waves of impact, shaking the entire space.
"Wow!"
The Cat Demon's figure fell from mid-air like autumn leaves.
Maintaining his outstretched palm, Shen Qing said, "Now, your third life is gone!"
The resurrected Cat Demon, having lost three lives consecutively, had become frantic, shouting angrily, "I'll definitely eat you, ah!"
Bang!
"Fourth life..."
"Fifth life..."
"Sixth life..."
Losing seven lives in a row left the Cat Demon completely stunned.
The man before it, with seemingly infinite True Qi, showed no signs of exhaustion.
There was not a trace of hope for winning.
An indescribable fear spread from deep within its heart, expanding.
Escape!
Use the remaining lives to flee desperately.
The instinct to survive made it completely forget the bold statements it had previously made.
It forced its demon energy, compressing its entire demonic body.
In an instant, it transformed into the size of an ordinary house cat, becoming a streak of black light rushing out of the room.
However, as if sensing it in advance, Shen Qing pointed a finger.
Splat.
The scorching Essence Qi shot forth, striking precisely at the Cat Demon, flipping its small body to the ground.
Before it could react, the golden finger imprint silently landed on its body.
"Alright, you have one life left!"
The newly resurrected Cat Demon hurriedly pleaded, "My lord, spare me... If you kill me, the Goddess won't spare you."
"Goddess?" Shen Qing furrowed his brows.
The Cat Demon urgently said, "Our Goddess is the Young Madam of the Zhou Family, with the Zhou Family's power. It'd be easy for her to kill you."
"The Goddess you speak of is a demon, right?" Shen Qing suddenly asked.
The Cat Demon's expression froze, unsure why Shen Qing was asking, but in the face of death, it couldn't think too much, "Our Goddess is a Great Demon who cultivated a human form."
"So, the Zhou Family collaborates with you demons?" Shen Qing's face darkened like water, "Do you know what I hate the most?"
Without waiting for the Cat Demon to answer, Shen Qing said, "I hate demons like you the most, who are never satisfied even after devouring humans, and want to learn from them!"
Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Sixth Transformation.
Bang!
Shen Qing struck down with a fist.
The Cat Demon's ninth life was gone!
