Fortune Favors the Bold

Inside the inn, Yin Kuisheng transformed into a demon, laughing maniacally as he charged at those surrounding him. He mowed through them like a bulldozer, scattering people and overturning vehicles wherever he went. Figures were sent flying backward, spitting blood.

This scene stunned everyone present. Their faces turned ashen, and a chill ran down their spines.

No one had expected the situation to reverse so rapidly. Yin Kuisheng, who had been on the defensive moments ago, had directly demonized after swallowing a Demon Core, causing his strength to surge.

"Everyone, stop holding back! Focus your attacks on the sharp horns on his head; that's his weakness. Or use sonic attacks to disrupt his mental will. This guy just swallowed a Demon Core, so he definitely can't integrate it perfectly. If his mental will is damaged, he'll be backlashed by the Demon Core..."

A loud shout echoed.

It was Li Da's voice. One had to admit, the Demon Suppression Division truly knew how to deal with demons. As a Senior Demon Slayer, Li Da immediately spotted Yin Kuisheng's weakness.

While loudly reminding the others, he formed a battle formation with Qin Qing, Niu Zhenye, and others. After forcefully blocking one of Yin Kuisheng's attacks, he pressed his advantage. With a slash of his Battle Saber, he struck one of Yin Kuisheng's horns with a strange trajectory, evading his defenses and landing a heavy blow.

Clang... Bang...

A flash of blade light, and the horn was severed as if slicing through tofu.

"Argh..."

With the horn broken, Yin Kuisheng let out a piercing scream, his entire body convulsing. The terrifying blood-red light erupted from his eyes, which were already like copper bells, and the violent demonic aura emanating from him seemed to solidify.

"Die... You all deserve to die..."

He roared in a frenzy, lunging at Li Da and the others.

"Quick, attack his horns!"

"You beast, taste my Buddhist Lion's Roar..."

"Hahaha... So this beast has so many weaknesses! Let's see how he dies this time. Attack together, kill this beast! You tried to scheme against us? Go eat shit!"

At this moment, a group of martial artists burst into laughter. Seeing Li Da sever one of Yin Kuisheng's horns with a single strike, they clearly felt Yin Kuisheng's aura weaken and his strength decline. They knew Li Da was right and were overjoyed.

Immediately, the group joined the fray, frantically attacking Yin Kuisheng's single horn or using sonic attacks to disrupt his mental will, hoping to trigger a backlash from the Demon Core.

However!

Yin Kuisheng's strength was evident. He was clearly a league above them. Attacking his horn or disrupting his mental will with sonic waves was no easy feat.

For a time, both sides were locked in a stalemate. Amidst the frenzied collisions, piercing screams continuously echoed, and terrifying shockwaves swept through, causing the entire inn to collapse.

At this moment!

Outside the inn, Lin Baichuan stood alone, his Battle Saber at his waist, staring intently at the collapsing inn with heightened concentration.

Simultaneously, many people were converging from all directions.

Such a massive commotion had already spread throughout the entire town, but no one dared to approach, content to watch from a distance.

This was a battle between martial artists. Let alone ordinary people, even Ninth Rank or Eighth Rank martial artists would perish if they were not careful.

Boom... Bang...

Amidst the ruins, Yin Kuisheng's massive body charged like an iron tower. His iron palms, like massive hammers, struck out repeatedly. Figures were sent flying, spitting blood. Those below the Seventh Rank were directly injured, their internal organs even displaced.

However, Yin Kuisheng was also not faring well. Besieged by Li Da and the others, constantly ambushed by several Seventh Rank Organ Forging realm experts, and subjected to sonic attacks that ravaged his mental will, he had lost his previous imposing demeanor. Covered in blood and with a weakened aura, he was clearly at the end of his rope.

"Beast, I'll finish you with one strike."

Suddenly, at this moment, a figure leaped out from the ruins. A blade light flashed, like surging waves, forcefully tearing through Yin Kuisheng's outstretched hands and striking another horn on his head.

"Argh..."

The blade light flashed, and the horn snapped off. Yin Kuisheng let out a piercing scream, his terrifying demonic power raging within him. With both horns severed, his demonic power lost its balance and rampaged within him, much of it bursting out of his body, forcefully flinging the Seventh Rank Organ Forging realm expert who had attacked him away.

"Since that's the case, you'll all accompany me to the grave!"

Yin Kuisheng suddenly roared, opening his mouth wide. The Demon Core was spat out, then it violently emitted a blinding light, radiating a brutal and ferocious aura.

"Not good, he's going to self-detonate the Demon Core!"

Li Da, as expected of a Senior Demon Slayer, was the first to react. His face changed drastically, and with a loud shout, he turned to flee.

However!

While his reaction was not slow, he was still half a beat behind the Demon Core's self-detonation.

Boom...

At this moment, the blindingly radiant Demon Core exploded like dynamite. Visible energy shockwaves surged out, forcefully flinging everyone surrounding Yin Kuisheng, including Li Da, away.

Under the terrifying energy shockwaves, they all coughed up blood incessantly. Some of the weaker ones had their bodies explode instantly, turning into a mist of blood.

At the same time!

The moment the Demon Core was detonated, a flash of bloody light suddenly appeared within Yin Kuisheng's body, which had already been weakened. His speed instantly increased severalfold. Before the Demon Core exploded, he had actually escaped the blast radius and fled directly towards Qili Slope behind the town.

This was Yin Kuisheng's scheme.

The self-detonation of the Demon Core was real, but the pretense of mutual destruction was false. In that final moment, he used the residual demonic energy within his body to activate a secret technique, drastically increasing his speed and making a swift escape.

"It's Yin Kuisheng. That guy truly has some tricks up his sleeve."

Outside the inn, Lin Baichuan, who had been watching, saw Yin Kuisheng fleeing and immediately understood everything. His eyes lit up. After hesitating for less than a hundredth of a second, Lin Baichuan darted forward and immediately pursued Yin Kuisheng.

Lin Baichuan knew Yin Kuisheng's power well, especially how outrageously strong he had become after swallowing a Demon Core. But he also understood one thing: Yin Kuisheng was injured now, and very seriously so, his strength greatly diminished.

This was his best chance, and his last chance, to obtain the Earth Spirit Milk. Once he missed this opportunity and Yin Kuisheng reached Qili Slope, finding someone in the vast mountain forest would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, even though Lin Baichuan knew the danger involved, he followed without hesitation.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. If you don't actively seek out opportunities, it's unrealistic to expect them to fall into your lap.
