We hope our readers can understand.) The doors to the sub-forum burst open. A straight figure stepped in. “Who dares to...” The patrolling guards woke with a shock, shouting aloud. A sword light whooshed through the air. Piercing through one man’s neck. That person clutched at his throat, falling down in horror. The other guards were immediately alarmed, blowing their shrill whistles. The figure stomped and instantly turned into a cannonball, charging inwards. Fist Mastery vibrated, carrying an uproariously fierce and violent Qi, whistling and tearing through the air. Most of these guards were at the Refining Skin and Bone Tempering stages. Upon encountering Fist Mastery, even those with copper skin and iron bones were instantly smashed to a bloody pulp. Then, streaks of sword light beheaded them. Blood and flesh flew in all directions, screams piercing the sky. The patrolling members of the sect, one by one, became headless corpses. The newcomer blasted and killed twenty or thirty people on the way from the gate to the main hall, within just a few short breaths. The sect members he killed were terrified in their hearts and minds. Soon, there was an enraged shout from within the inner court. “Who goes there?” A bald, towering man, like a cannonball, landed, staring dead at the youth with leopard-like eyes. “Protector!” “Protector!” The panicked voices of the sect members revealed the identity of the newcomer. This person, like the black-robed man just now killed, was a protector of the sect. Another one with Qi Cultivation Great Success! Chen Yuan, at this moment, was soaked in blood that dyed his brocade clothes red, seeming like an unsurpassedly fierce figure. His brow was fierce, and he spat out a mouthful of the blood that had surged in. “Your killer.” Without wasting words, he charged in for the kill. That towering bald man roared furiously, his body radiating a ghostly glow. He lunged at Chen Yuan to attack. Soon the two were fighting together. After a brief moment, the towering bald man indeed revealed a Demon Body, with his aura increasing sharply. But then, he realized that his opponent’s Qi had surged violently as well. Chen Yuan fought him in close combat directly. A few exchanges later, the towering bald man was shocked; his Demon Body was no match. Thoughts of retreat arose, and it was downhill from there, He turned to flee! Chen Yuan exhaled Sword Qi. “Slas!” Sword light directly beheaded the towering bald man. The man was terrified, crying out loudly. “Temple master, save me!” At this moment, a dangerous aura arose from the inner court. A streak of blood light sliced through the long sky, aiming straight for Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan’s face turned grave, his True Qi swelled throughout his body. He did not hold back. The sword light continued to hit the towering bald man. “Thud” A head flew into the air. Chen Yuan grasped it. The blood light also arrived in due course. “Boom” Chen Yuan was blasted, flying backward. His internal organs felt like they had been displaced. But he let out a joyous laugh. Killing one more was a gain! He used the momentum to retreat, waving one hand. Gathering all the scattered heads. Afterward, without further attachment, He flipped and dove into the dim night. Only his laughter echoed back through the night sky. “Chase!” Angry roars came from the Feixian Sect’s sub-forum. .............. Five Miles Temple At this time, the first light of dawn broke. Flames shot up into the sky, Tinting much of the horizon red. The entire village, thirty-nine households, one hundred and forty-five souls, all in one great fire, were torches. In front of the pyre, thirty-one fierce heads were laid out. A bloodstained figure cast against the firelight departed. Soon after, a hunter going into the mountains to hunt saw the flames and came to investigate. Upon seeing the scene in the village, and the heads, he was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits. Quickly, the news spread. On Wuxu Day, at Five Miles Temple, the villagers perished. A hero constructed a tower of thirty-one human heads as an offering, among which resided a demon! Not long after, in Qingshan County. In East Market Alley. In front of a household. A crowd of onlookers pointed and whispered. From time to time, they sighed. Murmuring words of pity. Inside the house, everything was draped in white. A woman knelt before the brazier. Burning paper money. While in front of her lay two coffins. “Cough cough” The woman’s cough grew increasingly severe. She felt as if fire was scorching her insides, her life force gradually slipping away. She was almost at her limit. She didn’t know if she could wait for that important person. Perhaps that important person would never come at all! Indeed, she was just a common woman. How could she expect an important figure from the tales to remember her? The woman sardonically smiled. As if feeling that her time was nearly up, Her mind began to recall every little memory of harmony with her husband. Just then, a commotion arose outside. The crowd scattered in fright. Following closely, a bloodstained young man in brocade clothes, carrying a wrapped bundle, Entered! Chen Yuan approached the woman, handing her the bundle. “Fortunately, I have not arrived too late!” “This is the head of that demon!” The woman stared blankly at the important figure before her, drenched in blood. All her grievances and pain turned into tears. Someone had indeed fought against the demon for common folks like her. Chen Yuan said nothing more and turned to leave. The woman, holding the blood-soaked bundle, bowed deeply in the direction Chen Yuan departed. “Sir, thank you, take care!” With that, the woman’s breath faded no more. .............. Chen Yuan returned to his courtyard. Without alarming anyone. Back in the courtyard, he shattered the bloodstained clothes he wore. And washed himself again. On his right chest, several ribs were broken, causing his internal vitality to stagnate. The damage had been caused by that final red light at the Feixian Sect’s sub-forum. That person must have been the Temple Master there. Why he took this risk. Firstly, because he had extracted information from the Human Demon, he knew about the sub-forum’s strength. The Temple Master, with Perfect Qi Refining, was the most powerful there. Secondly, to pursue a clear state of mind. Trouble had already come knocking. Since these people had already extended their reach here, It was impossible to hide. Better to extinguish the danger as much as possible. In his thoughts, his gaze grew profound. Closing his eyes, his consciousness delved into the Mud Ball. With a shift of his thoughts, his current information sprung to mind. “Chen Yuan: Mountain Patrol Military Officer” “Realm: Qi Cultivation Great Success [Jade Pillow Pass]” “Luck Points: 10” “Cultivation Techniques: Dragon Subduing Stance (Perfect), Devil Suppressing Fist (Perfect), Taoist Inner Scripture Map (Great Success)” “Magic: Beast Breeding, Devil Suppressing Fist, Sword Qi” “Divine Skills: Consume, Heart Eye (workable)” “Main mission Hundred Demon List completed 12%” Chen Yuan checked his Luck Points. This could be considered a windfall. Indeed, risk and reward are proportional. His skirmishes throughout the night, defeating a Demon Seed, two Human Demons, had netted him 13 points, a lucrative battle. Three of those points had been used during the fight with the robed Human Demon to break through. Now, these ten points. Without a doubt. All invested into the Inner Scripture Diagram. With a single thought, Chen Yuan’s Dantian blazed like oil on fire. A massive amount of True Qi surged forth, causing his Dantian to swell. Chen Yuan felt as though he had become instantly plump, experiencing an itchy numbness, Such a lucrative battle was unprecedented for him. Immediately, he focused, subduing the turbulent True Qi within his body. A whole thirty minutes passed before this violent True Qi calmed. Next, would be the final stage of Qi Refining. To cross the Small River Cart!
