âThis isâŠâ
The burly manâs pupils shrank, and he was suddenly startled.
âKill this dwarf brat!â
The other three immediately attacked with their knives, not giving Qing Demon the chance to press the attack.
âSenior brother, should we help out?â
The young woman from before was somewhat eager to try.
âGo up and get killed?â
Someone muttered quietly.
âLetâs not act rashly for now, this Qing Demon⊠might not be so simpleâŠâ The lead senior brother, surveying Qing Demonâs slight figure, seemed to reminisce in his gaze,
as if he thought of something.
âOh? This dwarf has some kind of background?â
Hearing this, Chen Yuan turned his head to look at the man.
âIâm not sure yetâŠâ The manâs eyes held some wariness and he didnât wish to speak further.
âThey were trying to save you just now, how come⊠you wonât help?â
The woman from before looked at Chen Yuan with a somewhat unfriendly tone.
âWhatâs it to you?â
Chen Yuan replied blankly.
âYouâŠâ The woman wanted to say something but was stopped by the senior brother next to her.
âOut here in the world, donât cause troubleâŠâ
The woman in white snorted lightly but didnât say anything more.
âMay I have the honor to know your name?â
The lead senior brother in white turned his attention to Chen Yuan, his eyes filled with suspicion, wondering why Qing Demon had targeted him.
âI am Wang Ping.â
Chen Yuan responded.
âWang Ping⊠such an unremarkable name.â
The senior brother in white thought to himself.
Chen Yuan: âAnd you are?â
âI am Chu Yunfeng from Qingmu Sect, and these are my junior brothers and sisters.â
Chu Yunfeng smiled.
âHmmâŠâ
Chen Yuan nodded and stopped paying attention, instead turning his gaze back to the struggle ahead.
Qing Demon, after repelling the first big man, seemed to have taken some kind of drug and no longer dodged as before. Instead, he unleashed his mighty power, pressing the other burly men back step by step.
The dusky palm of his hand was uncatchable; they could only block with the blade.
Even the blades were left with marks of that dusky color.
âBoom!â
âBoom!â
âBoom!â
After several consecutive explosions, Qing Demon exerted force in his palms, simultaneously repelling the three men, almost stumbling to the ground. They retreated several steps before coming to a stop.
âJust with you few, daring to talk big, ridiculous. Fine then, Grandpa will let you accompany your brothers down below today!â
Qing Demonâs mouth curled into a cold smile; his right palmâs fingernails suddenly grew longer, emitting an odd, green light, and he viciously reached for the skull of the nearest man.
If caught, there would definitely be five blood holes as the outcome.
The terrified big man in front of him wanted to raise his knife to block, but the distance between them was too short, and given Qing Demonâs incredibly fast speed, he could only watch as death slowly approached.
âSecond brother!â
âSecond brother!â
âOld Second!â
The others cried out in alarm, wanting to come forward and help, but it seemed already too late.
âSwoosh!â
A whistling sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out, and a long knife stabbed straight at Qing Demonâs back of the head.
The sheer speed left no time for reaction.
Qing Demonâs head ducked in an instant; the long knife brushed past his scalp, took a lock of his black hair with it, and drove straight into a wooden pillar nearby, piercing it through.
âWho?â
Qing Demon turned his head sharply, annoyed at the direction from which the long knife came.
âItâs you!â
Qing Demonâs gaze focused, landing on Chen Yuan. At this moment, only the scabbard was left in his hand.
Chen Yuan stepped forward, slowly approaching.
âYouâre seeking death!â
Without another word, Qing Demonâs dusky palm morphed into a claw, reaching for Chen Yuanâs chest, seemingly intending to tear out his heart.
âBe careful!â
The burly man next to him cried out in alarm.
Chen Yuanâs expression remained unchanged. His right leg bent, charged with energy, he erupted like a cannonball from its chamber, viciously charging at the dwarf in front of him. If one looked closely, they would see a faint dark gold light emanating from Chen Yuanâs arm.
Vajra Glaze Body!
âSeeking death!â
Qing Demon sneered with disdain, taking the direct confrontation as a death wish.
Immediately, his claw became a palm, and thundered towards Chen Yuanâs fist.
âBang!â
Their fist and palm collided, emitting a muffled explosion.
Afterwards, Qing Demon in front of Chen Yuan flew backward like a kite with a severed string, drawing a parabola, smashing a table into pieces, and crashing to the ground, his face full of shock and confusion.
The room went silent suddenly.
As if they were all petrified on the spot by Chen Yuanâs punch.
The burly men were somewhat in disbelief. What had they seen?
This young man was able to knock down the frighteningly powerful Qing Demon with just one punch.
How could this be possible?
They had firsthand experience of Qing Demonâs strength; even joining forces, they were no match, which meant that this young man could easily defeat them all?
Although they were all just starting to practice Bone Refining except for the eldest, that still counts as Bone Refining, doesnât it?
The Qingmu Sect disciples spectating the fight were also full of shock, and Chu Yunfeng swallowed hard. This plain-named man was unexpectedly powerful!
Could he be a core disciple from some major sect?
The woman in white who previously wanted to mock Chen Yuan for showing signs of cowardice was now filled with fear, feeling fortunate that Brother Chu had held her back earlier. Otherwise, wouldnât she have been sent flying like that ghastly figure?
âSo, Iâve become this strong!â Chen Yuan thought to himself, somewhat surprised.
Since stepping into the Bone Refining Level, Chen Yuanâs strength had continuously grown through Bone Refining, but up until now, he hadnât seriously sparred with someone at the same level. Although he knew his strength was probably already among the top of the Bone Refining Level,
he didnât have a concrete feeling of it.
This time, he truly experienced his own power.
And he felt the terror of the Vajra Glaze Body!
The overwhelming Qi and Blood Power within his body was intoxicating!
This kind of blow-for-blow fight was a true manâs battle.
âYou⊠you are at the Gang Condensation Realm!â Qing Devil said, still shaken. That punch had allowed him to sense the power of a Gang Condensation expert. He had fought with Bone Refining Martial Artists before, but never had he felt such despair.
So, subconsciously, he thought Chen Yuan was a strong practitioner of the Gang Condensation Realm.
The middle-aged woman who had come with him quickly stepped aside, her expression a mix of fright and confusion. She had followed Qing Devil for some time now, and he had always effortlessly defeated his opponents, never being flung away like a ragdoll as he was today.
Chen Yuan expressionlessly stretched out his hand and drew the long blade from the wooden pillar, his steps leisurely approaching Qing Devil like the Grim Reaper closing in.
No,
not like,
to Qing Devil, Chen Yuan was the Grim Reaper!
The Grim Reaper from the Abyss.
âAn⊠ancestor, Iâve offended you just now, I beg for your forgiveness!â Qing Devil hurriedly bowed with his hands folded in front.
âI actually prefer you the way you were before, rebellious and untamed. Recover for a moment!â Chen Yuanâs lips curled into a smile, revealing a hint of amusement.
Qing Devil forced a smile, but it looked awkward, even uglier than crying. Combined with his hideous face, it was truly nauseating.
âAncestor⊠IâŠâ
Qing Devil lowered his head, and when Chen Yuan was within ten feet of him, his eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and his mouth revealed two abnormal fangs as he suddenly made a move.
He rushed toward Chen Yuan with incredible speed, his veins bulging and black lines coursing through his body.
âShoo!â
Sword Drawing Skill erupted instantaneously.
Chen Yuan was not one to let down his guard. As Qing Devil began to move, he was already prepared.
Bright sword light flickered, and a severed arm was cut off by Chen Yuan, falling to the side.
Then, Chen Yuanâs left fist came swinging out, landing a full-powered blow on Qing Devilâs chest. Once again, he was slammed heavily to the ground like before, only this time the injuries were too severe,
and despite several attempts, he failed to rise.
His face conveyed panic as dark brown blood slowly oozed from the stump of his arm, like potent poison, sizzling upon hitting the ground.
âIs that all?â
Chen Yuan looked down at Qing Devil, indifferent.
âYou canât kill me!â
Qing Devil cried out hastily.
âWhether youâre the Heavenly King or the Heavenly Kingâs son, why canât I kill you?â Chen Yuan looked at him dispassionately.
âI⊠If you kill me, it will bring catastrophe.â
Qing Devil said in a low voice.
Chen Yuan was unimpressed; he himself was a disaster to others!
Furthermore, Chen Yuan never showed mercy to an enemy who wished him dead.
âBrother Wang⊠wait.â
Chu Yunfeng called out hurriedly from the side.
âWhat is it?â
Chen Yuanâs expression remained calm as he turned his head.
âI remember who he is; if you kill him, there really is dangerâŠâ Chu Yunfengâs tone was very grave.
âOh?â
âIf Iâm not mistaken, this creature should be one of the Ghost Children bred by the Blood Demon,â Chu Yunfengâs voice echoed in everyoneâs ears, but except for him, all were baffled.
âBlood Demon? Ghost Child?â
These names hardly sounded like they belonged to upstanding individuals.
âThe Blood Demon is a notorious fiend in Qingzhou, known for his vicious and cruel methods. He has a penchant for consuming human blood, hence the name. He has always been elusive, and in recent years, he has not appeared, leading many to believe he was dead.
Unexpectedly, a Ghost Child still exists. They are evil artifacts controlled by the Blood Demon through Demon Secret Techniques, very powerful and apparently of some use to the Blood Demon, extremely prized by him.â
âA few years ago, someone killed a Ghost Child, and in one night, the Blood Demon wiped out the entire family!â
Chu Yunfeng shared this grave information about the Blood Demon with Chen Yuan.
âBrother, how come Iâve never heard of this Blood Demon?â the woman in white beside him asked in surprise.
âThe Blood Demon hasnât shown himself in recent years, and since you have always been within the Mountain Gate, it is quite normal that you havenât heard of him.â
Qing Devil on the ground grimaced with a smile:
âAncestor, to kill me would be to incur great loss and also offend our elder. Why not let me go, and from now on, we shall not interfere with each other?â
Although thatâs what he said, a murderous intent filled Qing Devilâs heart.
âThat does make sense.â
Chen Yuan nodded.
âThank you, ancestor, for sparing my life.â
Qing Devil hurriedly responded.
âHowever⊠you still have to die!â
Chen Yuanâs eyes condensed with killing intent as he swung his blade fiercely.
A stream of black blood spurted out, and the head rolled away like a ball, far offâŠ
