The Boar Demon Turns Ferocious, the Madam Displays Her Might

Heavenly Goods Branch entrance.

Four masked figures gathered together, their eyes filled with coldness. The temperature around them was low, devoid of any warmth of living beings, and carried a faint stench.

"What's the result?"

The masked youth was the first to speak.

"We were lying in wait at the main and side entrances of the other gates, but we didn't catch a whiff of that kid's scent!"

"Same here, I stayed inside the auction house, waiting for him to show up, but there was no sign of him!"

"I say, boss, could those two be in cahoots? As soon as the auction ended, they slipped out the back door?"

The masked youth pondered, "Very likely. This cultivation method was a sure thing, but suddenly someone barged in and competed with us. It's hard not to suspect they're working together."

"Boss, is this cultivation method that important?"

One of his subordinates asked, puzzled.

The masked youth glanced at him and said blandly, "You just joined Black Wind Cave, so it's normal if you don't know. A hundred years ago, a cultivation sect developed a mental technique specifically targeting Demons and Monsters, which could hinder our spiritual erosion of the human race. At that time, the Demons and Monsters suffered great losses, while the human race had the upper hand."

"Is that the cultivation method we're looking for?"

The subordinate asked.

The masked youth nodded, "That's right. The human race had internal strife, and now that sect has declined and become ruins."

"And before our invasion, Black Wind Cave got wind of this cultivation method. To ensure the plan goes smoothly, unfavorable factors must be eradicated first."

A fierce glint flashed in the masked youth's eyes.

Black Wind Cave's plan was originally aimed at Jin Province, to further infiltrate the human race, but now they have discovered the re-emergence of the Soul-Subduing Mind Technique, which poses a great threat to them.

They must not let the current human race discover the true purpose of the Soul-Subduing Mind Technique, otherwise their living space will be further squeezed.

In other words, if they can't get it, they will be forced to change their target and attack other prefectures and counties.

"Boss, look! There's a human woman over there."

At this moment, a subordinate beside him pointed and shouted.

At the street intersection, a woman with a cold and alluring expression walked out, wearing a thin green gauze shirt and a plain white dress, with a graceful figure.

Her eyes scanned around, obviously looking for someone.

"Strange, I remember my husband told me before he left to come to the auction to purchase some things, could it be over already?"

The person who came was Yu Qinghan, who had been tracking all the way from the pawnshop.

Because she was very worried about Zhao Huai's safety, she hurried out to chase after him, vaguely remembering the words 'auction' and 'cultivation method' that her husband had mentioned.

She scanned the vicinity of the Heavenly Treasures Guild, but didn't see anyone.

Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, unwilling to see the most feared thing happen.

A cold look appeared on Yu Qinghan's face.

If anyone dares to hurt her husband, she will tear them to pieces.

"Boss, what do you think? Beautiful, right?"

"Not bad, not bad. If it's made into a new human skin, the effect would be great. It could probably capture a large number of men."

The masked youth's eyes were full of excitement.

As Demons and Monsters, choosing a good skin is very important.

A good skin can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"May I ask, has the auction already ended?"

"Yes, everyone left half an hour ago."

Yu Qinghan received the answer from the Heavenly Treasures Guild's attendant at the door, and once again searched the nearby streets. Her phoenix eyes swept across the street in front of her, but she still didn't see Zhao Huai's figure.

Her mood became increasingly anxious.

Suddenly, she noticed four figures out of the corner of her eye, tailing her. Judging from their skills, they were not ordinary people.

Yu Qinghan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and her anger flared up.

"I didn't come looking for you, but you came looking for me?" Yu Qinghan deliberately walked into a deserted alley, then turned around and coldly said to the four masked men behind her, "You are the assassins sent by the Black Market?"

"Assassins?"

The masked youth felt a little baffled upon hearing this, subconsciously thinking that the woman had mistaken them for someone else.

"Just treat us as assassins for now."

The masked youth smiled slightly, and a large hand hidden under his hood reached out.

It was a pair of dark and ugly bone claws.

The surrounding lackeys also struck a fighting pose, their faces filled with excitement.

Preying on such a fair and tender woman was simply the most pleasurable thing imaginable.

The pendant on Yu Qinghan's snow-white chest flickered slightly, and a sharp sword appeared in her hand.

"So, she's a cultivator, no wonder she's so calm."

The masked youth sneered at the sight.

"Just a mere Qi Refining Stage cultivator, struggling in vain."

Yu Qinghan remained silent, her face cold.

She thrust out her sword, a flash of cold light appearing, as fast as lightning.

"Swish!"

In that instant, she directly decapitated the masked youth.

The other lackeys were all shocked.

Yu Qinghan appeared behind them, and seeing that there was not a trace of blood on the blade of her sword, her brow furrowed again.

"Die!"

The masked youth's head let out a sharp cry.

Clusters of black gas surged out from the body, gathering into a hideous pig-faced ghost, rushing straight towards Yu Qinghan.

Yu Qinghan slashed with her sword, but it only produced a "clang" sound.

Then, her body leaped into the air, somersaulting several meters to create distance.

Taking a closer look, the blade of the sword in her hand was already chipped.

Yu Qinghan was not surprised, but instead smiled coldly: "I was wondering where the stench was coming from, turns out it's four Boar Demons."

The appearances of the four men in front of her instantly changed.

Beneath the masks covering their mouths and noses were rows of densely protruding fangs, scarlet mouths, and an incredibly terrifying pig nose that was very conspicuous.

Having shed their human skin disguise, they were clearly four extremely ugly Demons and Monsters.

"Kill her, our identities have been exposed!"

The leading fat-headed Boar Demon said in a muffled voice.

"Awoo!"

With a low roar, three gusts of demonic wind swept over.

Yu Qinghan's expression remained calm as she stroked the jade pendant on her chest and said lightly, "Very well, consider it a warm-up."

The pendant shimmered, and a long halberd, entirely emerald green and with a tip as sharp as frost, appeared in her hand.

"Clang!"

She gripped the halberd tightly and thrust it into the ground, producing a loud sound.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterward, a monstrous killing intent spread out from Yu Qinghan's body.

This aura was extremely fierce, directly blowing back the gust of demonic wind.

The fat-headed Boar Demon fell to the ground with a thud, exclaiming in shock:

"This is... a Magical Treasure?"

As far as he knew, Magical Treasures were rare among the human race and not something ordinary Qi Refining cultivators could possess. If they did, it could only mean that the cultivator's strength was definitely very high.

Without a doubt, they had run into a brick wall this time.

Before the four Demons and Monsters could react, Yu Qinghan, holding her halberd in one hand, had already disappeared from her spot.

"Boom!"

The halberd swept across, accompanied by explosive True Qi, carrying the might of a Magical Treasure. Its power was immense, and the surrounding bluestone slabs cracked from the impact.

The fat-headed Boar Demon was directly obliterated by the Magical Treasure.

Yu Qinghan coldly swept her gaze over the remaining three Demons and Monsters, their bodies trembling with fear.

"Heroine, spare..."

Before the words of begging for mercy could be finished, Yu Qinghan had already crushed their skulls with her bare hands, killing them both in a miserable death.

Having resolved everything before her, Yu Qinghan retracted her halberd. Her mood did not improve; these were just some insignificant little Demons and Monsters, and their destruction was of no consequence.

Her goal was to find Zhao Huai, but she still had no clues.

"Madam?"

Yu Qinghan, with a feeling of anxiety, was walking on the road home when a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears.

She turned her head and saw Zhao Huai, carrying a bag of groceries in one hand, looking at her with a surprised expression.

"Husband?"
