After the third Dao Fruit formed, Li Changsheng swiftly fused with it, causing strange changes to occur in his body.

Immediately afterward, he learned the purpose of the third Dao Fruit.

[Dao Fruit: Demon Slaying]

"Demon Slaying Dao Fruit!"

According to the information conveyed by the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit, it required no cultivation. Instead, he needed to kill demons. Each demon he killed would grant him a portion of experience, which could be used to raise the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit.

Every time the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit rose by one level, the effectiveness of his martial arts cultivation would increase greatly. In other words, as long as he raised the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit to a high enough realm, he would become a genius in martial arts.

Of course, the effect of the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit was not that exaggerated. It would not make it easy for him to cultivate a martial art to the Perfection Realm. This Dao Fruit merely increased his original efficiency by two or three times.

Furthermore, each time the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit broke through a realm, he could designate one martial art to make a rapid breakthrough.

"The Demon Slaying Dao Fruit is excellent, but the prerequisite is killing demons. That comes with a certain amount of risk!"

Li Changsheng decided that he still had to kill demons. If he wanted to grow stronger faster, the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit had to be raised. Otherwise, he could not possibly compare to those geniuses, much less the descendants of those great figures in the inner city.

The next day.

After getting up early, Li Changsheng prepared to go to the Black Market to buy some medicinal ingredients and Demon Blood. He had run out of White Spirit Secret Medicine again and needed to refine another batch of superior-quality White Spirit Secret Medicine.

As he walked down the street, the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit suddenly trembled.

His expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"There's a demon!"

The Demon Slaying Dao Fruit allowed him to sense demons of the same level. He was in the Skin Grinding Realm, which meant he could sense Level 1 Minor Demons.

Just now, he had encountered a Level 1 Minor Demon, and the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit had warned him.

His gaze swept lightly around, and the corner of his eye settled on a skinny man. Judging from the warning given by the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit, this man was a Level 1 Cunning Wolf.

"What an ingenious transformation technique. Even a Level 1 Cunning Wolf can turn into such a convincing human!"

Li Changsheng could not help but marvel at the terrifying nature of demons. Human warriors in the Skin Grinding Realm had no such miraculous methods.

He did not stare at the other party for too long, or it would be troublesome if he drew its attention.

Nor did he make a move here. If the other Cunning Wolves learned that he had killed a Level 1 Cunning Wolf, they would certainly seek revenge.

He wandered about casually, seemingly browsing everywhere at random, while secretly following the Cunning Wolf from around ten meters away, keeping it in the corner of his eye the entire time.

The Cunning Wolf went into several shops and bought some things.

Before long, it entered a small alley, and Li Changsheng quickly caught up.

The Cunning Wolf noticed Li Changsheng but did not attack. It believed it had not been exposed.

"Why are you following me?" the Cunning Wolf asked, its voice somewhat hoarse.

"I found a wallet. It looked like something you dropped, so I caught up to ask you about it."

Li Changsheng took out his own wallet and walked over.

The Cunning Wolf had just been about to say that it was not its wallet when Li Changsheng swiftly activated Wind Shadow Leg and charged at it.

"Azure Steel Fist!"

Li Changsheng's sneak attack caught the Cunning Wolf completely off guard, sending it flying with one punch.

One had to know that Li Changsheng was now close to achieving Iron Skin across his entire body. His physical qualities were immensely powerful, and his Azure Steel Fist was also a top-tier mid-grade Skin Polishing Martial Art. Though its realm was not high, under a sneak attack, even a warrior at great accomplishment in the Bronze Skin Realm would be severely injured by him.

The Cunning Wolf Tribe was not particularly powerful among demons. What made them sinister was their transformation technique. In a one-on-one fight, they could not even defeat a Blood Wolf Demon of the same level.

It was precisely because the Cunning Wolf Tribe was relatively weak among those of the same level that he dared to ambush and kill this Level 1 Cunning Wolf.

After being severely injured, the Cunning Wolf could no longer maintain its human appearance and transformed into a Cunning Wolf.

Li Changsheng swiftly closed in, raining down punch after punch until he thoroughly killed the Cunning Wolf.

After killing the Cunning Wolf, he quickly left the area.

Not long afterward, someone discovered the Cunning Wolf's corpse and reported it to the Demon Suppression Division.

Soon, people from the Demon Suppression Division arrived. Leading them was one of its captains—Zhao Ya.

"Captain Zhao, it's the corpse of a Level 1 Cunning Wolf!" After examining it, a member of the Demon Suppression Division reported.

"Cunning Wolves are difficult to detect. Even a Level 1 Cunning Wolf is hard for even me to identify unless I get too close. Yet this Cunning Wolf was killed in this alley. Judging from this mangled, bloody mess, the person who killed it should have had the strength of the Bronze Skin Realm or Silver Skin Realm. They could not have been any stronger! It would be rather unreasonable for a Skin Grinding Realm warrior to discover a Cunning Wolf. Perhaps the other party never discovered that this Cunning Wolf was a demon and merely happened upon it. They only wanted to kill this person, never expecting it to be a Cunning Wolf," Zhao Ya concluded.

"Captain Zhao is wise!"

The others flattered her.

"It's only a Cunning Wolf at the level of a Level 1 Minor Demon. Take the corpse away and let's head back!"

Zhao Ya ordered.

There was no need to continue investigating such a trivial matter. The outer city was in chaos now, and they had no time to investigate who had killed the Cunning Wolf. Whoever it was had rendered a service, not committed a crime. There was no need to investigate.

After returning, Li Changsheng opened the Dao Fruit data.

[Host: Li Changsheng] [Cultivation: Iron Skin Initial Accomplishment] [Dao Fruits: Forging Lv2 (26%) Medicine Making Lv2 (55%) Demon Slaying Lv0 (10%)]

"Killing a Cunning Wolf at the Level 1 Minor Demon level increased it by 10% experience. In other words, to raise the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit to Level 1, I need to kill ten Level 1 Minor Demons like this!"

Li Changsheng felt his scalp tingle as well. The difficulty was no small matter.

It was already this difficult to raise the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit to Level 1. How many minor demons would he have to kill to raise it to Level 2?

Still, he had to kill!

However, there should be very few Level 1 Minor Demon Cunning Wolves in Baiye City. Most were Cunning Wolves of Level 2 or above. It would not be easy to kill ten minor demons in the outer city.

He had to find other opportunities to kill demons. He could not keep his eyes fixed solely on Cunning Wolves.

Thus, he went to investigate whether there were other opportunities to kill demons, and he really did find one!

The Demon Suppression Division.

A new mission caught Li Changsheng's attention. This mission was to wipe out a Demon Cave.

Qingfeng Demon Stockade had previously possessed a Demon Cave, but it had now been destroyed. The Demon Suppression Division had discovered another Demon Cave, but this one was nowhere near as powerful. It was a newly formed Demon Cave.

Demon Caves were not formed naturally. Demons had to use demon stones together with special terrain, then nurture it over many years before a Demon Cave suitable for demons to live in could truly form.

The environment inside a Demon Cave was highly suitable for demons to breed offspring, allowing their young to survive the most dangerous stage of being young demons. One could say that a Demon Cave was a blessed grotto-heaven built by demons.

The Demon Cave discovered by the Demon Suppression Division this time contained only some Level 1 and Level 2 Minor Demons, so it would not be difficult to wipe out.

After learning the details of this mission, Li Changsheng prepared to follow the Demon Suppression Division's main force to exterminate these demons. Perhaps he would have the chance to raise his Demon Slaying Dao Fruit to Level 1 in one go.
