Rivers stretching for thousands of miles. Sudden slashing down. A white line shooting forward, In a blink, the gate shatters. Following that, drawing near abruptly, directly slashing at the many Human Demons pouncing towards the crowd. “Pu” “Pu” “Pu” The Sword Qi shoots out. Before the Human Demons can react, they are torn apart by the Sword Qi. Like boulders breaking and silk tearing. They can only let out a terrified shriek before dying. In an instant, the Sword Qi whizzes, Aiming at the leading Red-haired Demon. The Red-haired Demon watches as the Demon Crowd he painstakingly cultivated is reduced to flesh and blood in an instant, his Demon Eyes furiously wide, as if about to spew fire. However, when he sees the Sword Qi shift direction as if it had a mind of its own and shoot towards him, A heart-pounding feeling makes the alarm in his heart intensify. Enraged and panicked, He grabs the last fleeing Demon Crowd member beside him to use as a shield. And with a stomp of his feet, he soars into the air, shooting in the opposite direction. Yet the unfortunate Human Demon, grabbed to take the hit, lets out a terrified yell, desperately trying to activate his Demon Body. But it’s like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis’s arm. Just like the other Human Demons, Turned to bloody shreds. Meanwhile, the Sword Qi, unimpeded, Instantly catches up with the escaping Red-haired Demon. Feeling the sharp killing intent behind him, the Red-haired Demon suddenly turns, bellowing out. “Too bullying!” His ugly face becomes even more Fierce, and he smashes out a fist. Frantically stirring up a blood-red flame, leaping and soaring. Aiming straight at the Sword Qi! “Break for me!” The blood-red flame wraps around the Sword Qi, attempting to refine it. This is a Demon Fire formed by the grudge of thousands of souls, close to achieving the Karma Fire Divine Ability. He is already on the brink of the Third Realm. This fire holds a trace of Divine Skills power. Indeed, the Sword Qi’s momentum slows for a moment. The Red-haired Demon feels a surge of joy, thinking he worried too much. But the next second, The Sword Qi emits a piercing Sword sound, shining brightly. “Pu” The Demon Flame shatters, a white streak flashes. The Red-haired Demon’s arm is instantly severed. A wretched howl sounds. His entire Demon Body loses balance mid-air, crashing down. Falling from the roof into the room. Dust rises everywhere. All this happens in the blink of an eye. The surviving dozen commoners’ facial expressions shift from terror and despair to a gradual daze. Finally, their hearts pound like drums, a sense of disbelief spreading in their chests. Those terrifying Demons that had been slaughtering them at will. This... this means they’re dead? Their eyes widen in disbelief. Their spirits are deeply shaken. Then, remembering something, they look towards the broken gate outside the courtyard, in the dark rainy night. Soon, “Da da da” From the long street in the dark, the sound of rushing footsteps echoes. Following that, amidst the flashing lightning, a Big Blade-wielding middle-aged Great Han appears from the darkness. With a few leaps, he reaches the group. It is none other than Wu Shan, the Martial Arts Hall Master who had recently returned to Yunlu County with a blade! And Lian Nichang, catching sight of this Great Han, flashes a hint of shock and confusion. “How is it you!” She remembers Wu Shan; this group of martial arts disciples was covering for a bunch of civilians, trying to fight their way out of the city gates. They were entangled by the Human Demons from the County Government. She had helped to break the siege. Helping them escape Yunlu County. Why has he returned? And that Sword Qi just now, she saw clearly. That was the True Meaning of Divine Power! Wu Shan also sees Lian Nichang, his face relaxing, holding onto the blade handle, and with one hand clasps his hands in greeting, “Fortunately, I was not too late to arrive, and didn’t let the benefactor suffer hardship.” “What did you just say? Whose dharma decree are you following?” Lian Nichang coughs lightly, wiping away the crimson at the corner of her mouth, her gaze still bright, asks Wu Shan. Wu Shan continues with his enthusiastic speculation, talking about Chen Yuan with a chest full of excitement. “It is the old acquaintance of the heroine, the Military Officer Captain of Qingshan County!” “Because of the increasing refugees in Yunlu County, leading to frequent spirit monsters, he could not leave his post, and specially sent me to assist!” Lian Nichang couldn’t understand what the Martial Arts Hall Master was talking about? Being new here, of course she had no old acquaintances. Moreover, she remembered that the Mountain Patrol Military Officer of Qingshan County had already fallen! This position had been vacant for half a year. Because the Sky Patrol Department really had no more personnel. Even she had no choice but to come here to take up the post! Multiple doubts arose in her heart. Just as she was about to ask more questions, her complexion suddenly changed. She turned her head and looked back, her eyes revealing shock. “Not good, retreat!” She swept her sleeves backward. A dozen commoners were pushed back by the surge of energy she created. Then she herself retreated explosively, a distance well beyond two zhang. Wu Shan also sensed the anomaly. And followed by retreating! Then he looked at the pitch-black house with eyes full of surprise and uncertainty. Inside, there was a powerful aura climbing rapidly. Becoming more and more terrifying! Lian Nichang thought of something, her pretty face drastically changing, “That Human Demon is breaking through limits; we must stop him quickly!” As she spoke, she took the lead, turning into a fiery red silhouette wielding Green Peak, charging in. Wu Shan, with a long saber in hand, also charged in. The remaining commoners looked at each other, their hearts filled with trepidation. Could it be... The next second, A booming explosion rang out. The entire house burst apart instantly, releasing a powerful blast of air. Amongst flying debris, two figures were sent flying backward. Smashing into the ground. One was Lian Nichang, the other was Wu Shan! At the explosion’s epicenter, a mass of Demon Flame shot up into the sky. That Red-haired Demon, right now with wildly dancing red hair, shaking heaven and earth with demonic presence. A pair of crimson eyes emitting a terrifying gloss. Its body emitting a buzzing sound as it continued to swell. A horrendous momentum climbed step by step within its Demon Body. The blood-red flames on its skin emitted a terrifying might, melting everything around. “Haha, I’m about to succeed!” It let out a loud laugh. The sound, like demonic music piercing into ears, shook the commoners so that they covered their ears and fell, rolling on the ground. Meanwhile, Wu Shan, who was blasted to the ground not too far away, had his saber shaken out of his hand. Falling not far in front of him. Clamping his teeth, he crawled towards his own saber. He once said he wouldn’t bring shame upon that person. But then, the crimson eyes of the Red-haired Demon suddenly shot towards this direction. Following that, with an outstretched hand, it drew in. That Ring-Headed Great Saber landed in its hand. The Red-haired Demon let out a fierce and enraged roar. “It’s this object, daring to hurt me, watch me refine it. Then I’ll feast upon your flesh and drink your blood.” After saying so, the flames in its hand turning deep red, madly surged into its palm. The Ring-Headed Great Saber quickly deformed, melting down. Following that, a small sword phantom emerged from inside. When the Demon Flame enveloped this small sword phantom. “Swish” Sword sound pierced the long sky. Breaking through the flames. Then it grew rapidly against the wind. A phantom in green clothes stood with hands behind its back. When the Red-haired Demon saw the appearance of this phantom, it almost gnashed its teeth in rage: “It’s you!” This fellow, in the middle of the night, killed dozens from their sub-forum. Not too far away, Lian Nichang and Wu Shan each showed different expressions. Lian Nichang’s beautiful eyes moved, “So it was him!” As Wu Shan saw this phantom, he felt a bit excited. “Captain!” Yet that phantom was clearly just the True Meaning of Divine Power. The phantom raised its hand, Suddenly, in the world, the wind and rain came to an abrupt halt, Then, Sword sound filled the ninth heaven. The raindrops in hundreds of meters around, all revealed a sharp edge. After which, they furiously converged! Transforming into countless Sword Qi, surging wildly towards the Red-haired Demon. The Red-haired Demon let out an angry roar, flames reaching the sky. But after persisting for a few moments, it collapsed with a bang. “No!” It let out an unwilling roar. Then, amidst the rain of swords filling the sky, it was utterly destroyed in form and spirit. Leaving behind only that sound echoing in the night sky. Afterward, the phantom also exploded into nothingness. Like the wind and rain, which had been paused, also resumed falling!
