Man-Butcher!

From the moment Ji Qing stepped into the courtyard, he had already recognized the "Skin-Peeling Demon."

He was too familiar with the Skin-Peeling Demon.

So familiar that with just a trace of its scent, he already knew "Qian Lei Shi" was a clone of the Skin-Peeling Demon.

The Skin-Peeling Demon's gaze fell upon Ji Qing, a cold glint flashing in its eyes: "Ji Qing, I didn't expect you to have grown to this extent in such a short time? Even the Blood Demon fell into your hands."

"I originally wanted to trick the Blood Demon into dealing with you, but I didn't expect this idiot to be so useless, being resealed so quickly."

Ji Qing's heart suddenly understood upon hearing this.

No wonder the Skin-Peeling Demon was mixed up with the Blood Demon.

So the Skin-Peeling Demon wanted the Blood Demon to deal with him?

If not for Brother Chen Luo and his sister, Ji Qing would have surely died facing the Blood Demon alone!

For a moment, Ji Qing's killing intent grew even stronger.

But the Skin-Peeling Demon was insidious and cunning. "Qian Lei Shi" was merely one of its clones, and no one knew where the Skin-Peeling Demon's true body was.

"Skin-Peeling Demon, did you kill everyone in the Lei Family Fortress?"

Suddenly, Lei Yu, standing beside him, couldn't hold back and asked.

"Lei Family Fortress? Oh, it seems there are still some stragglers. Tsk tsk tsk, your current body is quite good. If I could peel off your skin and refine you into a clone..."

"You're asking for death!"

Lei Yu instantly became enraged.

Her massive body suddenly lunged in front of Qian Lei Shi, grabbing Qian Lei Shi by the neck and lifting her up forcefully.

The Skin-Peeling Demon's face instantly turned red, almost suffocating to death.

"Miss Lei, please leave her to me."

Ji Qing's words caused Lei Yu to calm down slightly.

She directly threw Qian Lei Shi in front of Ji Qing.

The Skin-Peeling Demon didn't seem to care at all. Instead, it glared venomously at Ji Qing and sneered, "Ji Qing, you've ruined several of my clones, and I'll remember this grudge!"

"Oh? It seems your clones aren't infinite either. Losing a body will also cause some damage to yourself."

Ji Qing gleaned some information from the Skin-Peeling Demon's words.

"So what? You'll never find my true body. What does it matter if I lose more clones?"

"Moreover, this time I will give you a 'big gift,' hahaha..."

The Skin-Peeling Demon burst into laughter.

"Clang."

Ji Qing drew his saber.

With a single slash, the Skin-Peeling Demon's head fell to the ground.

The smile on its face instantly froze.

"Killed a Skin-Peeling Demon clone, gained one Origin Point."

Ji Qing gained an Origin Point.

But he couldn't be happy, because the "big gift" the Skin-Peeling Demon mentioned had already arrived!

Everyone suddenly turned around and saw ordinary citizens outside the courtyard, their faces now ferocious and their eyes red as they charged towards Ji Qing and the others.

"What's going on? Patriarch, what's wrong with you?"

Lei Yu saw many familiar faces among these people.

Clearly, they were all villagers from the Lei Family Fortress.

"They've all been controlled by the Skin-Peeling Demon, turned into its clones."

Chen Luo said in a deep voice.

"Clones? How can there be so many clones?"

Lei Yu's eyes widened.

Outside, they were densely packed with villagers from the Lei Family Fortress.

All turned into the Skin-Peeling Demon's clones?

The few of them slowly retreated.

Wanting to escape, but villagers with red eyes were everywhere, and they had nowhere to hide.

"Swish."

Ji Qing drew his saber and killed a villager.

"Killed a Skin Puppet."

"Skin Puppet?"

Ji Qing focused his attention on the Demon Record.

As expected, the page for the Skin-Peeling Demon in the Demon Record had a new entry.

"Skin Puppet: A low-level puppet controlled by the Skin-Peeling Demon, lacking sanity and fearless of death. A Skin-Peeling Demon can control a large number of Skin Puppets, even forming a Skin Puppet army to overthrow dynasties and wreak havoc upon the world!"

Seeing the record in the Demon Record, Ji Qing's heart sank.

The words "wreak havoc upon the world" were not to be taken lightly.

Possessing such an ability, the Skin-Peeling Demon could be considered a top-tier great demon!

Ji Qing now knew the Skin-Peeling Demon's abilities: peeling skin to refine it into clones, and also forming a Skin Puppet army.

All of these abilities were extremely bizarre and powerful.

Compared to the Skin-Peeling Demon, the Blood Demon was nothing.

More and more Skin Puppets gathered outside. Ji Qing saw that Lei Yu and Chen Luo couldn't bring themselves to attack, as these were, after all, ordinary villagers of Lei Family Fortress.

Ji Qing spoke, "They are all Skin Puppets of the Skin-Peeling Demon. Once they become Skin Puppets, they lose their sanity and are completely controlled by the Skin-Peeling Demon. Furthermore, Skin Puppets can form a Skin Puppet army... Although they appear to be alive, they are essentially already dead..."

"What?"

Lei Yu's eyes immediately turned red.

These were the people of the entire Lei Family Fortress.

They had all become Skin Puppets? It was equivalent to the Skin-Peeling Demon annihilating them all single-handedly...

The Skin-Peeling Demon had not only annihilated the Lei family but also the entire Lei Family Fortress!

"Skin-Peeling Demon, get out here..."

Lei Yu instantly flew into a rage and rushed out of the courtyard.

Any Skin Puppet that tried to block her was blown apart by Lei Yu.

"Skin Puppets... This ability is simply a menace to the world! No wonder the Demon Identification Manual ranks the Skin-Peeling Demon as a top-tier great demon; a single Skin-Peeling Demon can endanger the world..." Chen Luo muttered softly.

He hadn't paid much attention to the Skin-Peeling Demon at first.

He thought it was just a minor demon, and even with the ability to create clones, it wasn't a big deal.

But the "Skin Puppet" ability was too terrifying.

It could even form a Skin Puppet army.

That changed everything.

The destructive potential of the Skin-Peeling Demon instantly surpassed that of the Blood Demon.

It became one of the most terrifying demons in this world!

However, the calmest among them was Ji Qing.

"Whoosh."

Ji Qing made his move.

Since these people had become Skin Puppets, puppets controlled by the Skin-Peeling Demon, Ji Qing naturally wouldn't hold back or consider them ordinary villagers anymore.

Therefore, Ji Qing unleashed Grass on Wings, darting through the Skin Puppets.

With each strike, several Skin Puppets died.

The terrifying aspect of the Skin Puppets was their numbers.

But Ji Qing showed no mercy. For over an hour, Ji Qing was engaged in "slaughter."

Finally, the entire Lei Family Fortress was a river of blood.

Ji Qing stood in the blood, and as far as his eyes could see, there wasn't a single standing Skin Puppet.

All the Skin Puppets in Lei Family Fortress were dead.

That was hundreds of Skin Puppets, equivalent to hundreds of people.

Ji Qing had "slaughtered" almost all of them with his single blade.

At this moment, whether it was Lei Yu or the Chen Luo siblings, as they looked at Ji Qing's figure, they felt a chill run down their spines.

What is a human butcher?

This is it!

But Ji Qing?

He seemed unfazed.

He even crouched down and used the clothes from the corpses to wipe his blade clean.

"Clink."

Ji Qing sheathed his sword.

"There are no more Skin Puppets."

Ji Qing said faintly.

Lei Yu and Chen Luo exchanged glances.

Of course, there were no Skin Puppets.

Ji Qing was in the heat of battle; he had just killed even the dogs of Lei Family Fortress, so how could there be any survivors?

Lei Yu even felt that Ji Qing's "eighth on the Villain Ranking" was truly deserved, not a bit of injustice.

If this "record" were to spread throughout the martial world, Ji Qing's ranking on the Villain Ranking might even move up a notch.

"Chen Luo, has your demon slayer family found a way to discover the true form of a Skin-Peeling Demon?"

Ji Qing suddenly asked.
