Great Demon Tianxie

Chu Jiang saw the words on the panel change again, and his body improved once more.

Cultivating the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body had been straightforward, a natural progression. As long as enough lifespan was consumed, even if progress was extremely slow, it was enough to advance.

"I didn't expect this small flesh core to contain so much energy."

It directly saved him a hundred years of effort.

This technique was truly not something ordinary people could cultivate; it was incredibly costly.

With the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body achieving minor completion, its defensive power was several times that of others at the same level.

The Vajra Realm Middle Stage couldn't break through its defenses.

Facing the Vajra Realm Late Stage, he could still fight. As for the Vajra Realm Peak, he might still be a bit short, unless his Wind-Thunder Vajra Body reached major completion.

After entering the Vajra Realm, every breakthrough brought a significant improvement.

Wanting to fight across stages became even more difficult.

However, in Baishi County, he didn't believe there was anyone who could threaten him.

The Vajra Realm was a dominant force throughout Nanyang Prefecture, capable of establishing a sect.

This time, Chu Jiang could confidently say "I don't eat beef" without any issue.

Chu Jiang drew the Blood Sun Saber and lightly cut his arm.

To his surprise, there was no reaction at all.

Chu Jiang increased the force again, but his arm still showed no sign of bleeding.

The Blood Sun Saber suddenly turned into an illusion, concentrating most of his body's power into a Blood Shadow Saber strike.

His arm instantly emitted a faint golden glow. With a muffled sound, the glow dissipated, and his arm remained completely unharmed, not a single scratch visible.

Its defense was this formidable?

Using the Blood Saber Manual's first stance with the Blood Sun Saber, he struck himself, and there was no reaction.

Truly monstrous.

Chu Jiang spent some time adapting to the suddenly explosive strength.

After casually eating a meal, the sky had already turned dark.

Nightfall enveloped the entire city. The full moon was temporarily obscured by thick, dark clouds, unable to penetrate. The courtyard was silent.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through, seemingly breaking the tranquility.

Two dark figures moved like phantoms across the rooftops, clad in black form-fitting clothes and wearing black masks, blending into the night. Only their cold eyes were visible.

The two were Assistant Magistrate Liu and Clerk Hu.

The cold swords in their hands glinted as they attacked simultaneously, striking at Chu Jiang with lightning speed. The sword wind howled, tearing through the stillness of the night.

"They're here!"

Chu Jiang grinned slyly. He hadn't expected that someone would actually take the bait, even though he had only tried it out of curiosity.

He simply shifted his body slightly, easily dodging the seemingly fierce attack.

Then, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Clerk Hu.

Before Clerk Hu could react, Chu Jiang lightly raised his hand, and a powerful force surged out, striking him instantly.

He flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

Clerk Hu struggled to get up, gasping weakly, "He was indeed faking it. Kill him with the Resentment Thunder Pearl!"

No wonder he could escape from Black Tiger Mountain; he truly had some skills.

This strength was probably already at Xiantian Peak.

Assistant Magistrate Liu's eyes flickered. Damn it, he hadn't expected his guess to be right.

Fortunately, he had brought the Resentment Thunder Pearl this time; otherwise, they would have really capsized in the gutter.

What a waste of this Resentment Thunder Pearl.

"Die!"

Assistant Magistrate Liu took out the Resentment Thunder Pearl and threw the mysterious rune on it.

The Resentment Thunder Pearl was crimson all over, engraved with more than a dozen white marks, with wisps of lightning flickering.

As the rune detached, the violent energy of the Resentment Thunder Pearl was completely unleashed.

Immediately after, a deafening roar shook the entire street.

Dozens of strands of resentment lightning were released, spreading wildly in all directions. Where they passed, the air compressed, forming visible shockwaves.

They destroyed everything in their path with destructive force. Floor tiles continuously cracked, and within ten meters, not a single blade of grass remained.

"Lord!"

"Master Chu!"

Everyone's faces changed drastically. Everything happened too fast. By the time they rushed in, the battle was already over. With such a terrifying attack, was it possible for anyone in the Xiantian Realm to survive?

"These bastards, I knew they'd resort to sneak attacks, damn it!"

"Do you dare to fight Master Chu head-on?"

Lu Feiyang was furious. He hadn't even sworn brotherhood with Chu Jiang yet.

"Look, Master Chu is fine!"

Ma Han shouted loudly. Everyone looked towards the courtyard. As the smoke and dust cleared, Chu Jiang was unharmed, his aura not even diminished.

"How is that possible?"

Assistant Magistrate Liu's face gradually froze as he saw Chu Jiang survive the attack of the Resentment Thunder Pearl.

Such a powerful weapon like the Resentment Thunder Pearl could heavily injure even someone in the Vajra Realm Early Stage. How could a Xiantian Realm cultivator withstand it?

Chu Jiang stood there calmly, his posture upright, his black cloud robe fluttering in the wind.

His handsome face, with sword-like eyebrows that slanted towards his temples, and eyes as deep as an abyss, seemed to burn with a fierce flame, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

He slowly walked towards the two, each step making them feel increasingly oppressed.

Before he even got close, they felt an invisible pressure envelop them, as if a massive mountain stood before them.

"Run!"

Clerk Hu screamed desperately and tried to flee out of the courtyard.

Assistant Magistrate Liu did the same.

But their speed was too slow. Chu Jiang instantly appeared before them, waved his hand gently, and both were sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

With a mere wave of his hand, he defeated them both.

Chu Jiang then removed their masks, revealing their true identities to everyone.

"Assistant Magistrate Liu!"

"Clerk Hu!"

The Demon Hunters were shocked. Why would the two highest-ranking officials of Baishi County be trying to assassinate their Lord Chu?

Just a few days ago, they had just promoted Lord Chu to Acting Head of the Demon Hunting Office, and today they were trying to kill him. What kind of logic was that?

"Godfather!"

Liu Guangwu was so shocked he couldn't speak. He never imagined that Assistant Magistrate Liu would be the mastermind behind this.

He had treated Liu Guangwu with kindness, promoted him, and taken care of him.

"You... You, how could you be so..."

Liu Guangwu stammered. In his eyes, his godfather had always been a righteous and honorable person, noble and upright, like a graceful gentleman.

He had never expected such a situation to arise.

Godfather, godfather.

Why would you try to kill Chu Jiang? Chu Jiang doesn't even care about demons.

If you try to kill him, how can you possibly survive?

"Hmph, now that I'm in your hands, kill me or torture me as you please!" Assistant Magistrate Liu did not respond to Liu Guangwu's words, nor did he even glance at him.

"Chu Jiang, I am an official appointed by the imperial court. You cannot kill me!" Clerk Hu threatened.

"You babble too much!"

Chu Jiang moved again, his hands like iron clamps grabbing Clerk Hu's throat. With a forceful throw, he slammed him heavily against a large nearby rock.

"Pfft!"

Clerk Hu spat out another mouthful of blood and immediately passed out.

"Tie him up!"

If he didn't need to ask questions later, he would have killed him with one move.

The Demon Hunters immediately took out their specially made ropes and bound him tightly.

"Assistant Magistrate Liu, speak!"

"You murdered an official appointed by the imperial court. Based on this alone, I can kill you on the spot!"

Chu Jiang said coldly, his words filled with chilling killing intent.

"The Goat Demon you killed in Daxing Village was the only offspring of the Great Demon Tianxie of the Goat Demon tribe. Now, the demons are pressuring us to hand over its corpse!"

"Otherwise... it will come to our door personally and bloodbath Baishi County, leaving no one alive!"

Assistant Magistrate Liu slowly spoke, and the scene fell into deathly silence.
