Slaying the White Ape Grand Perfection!

"To join the Brocade Guard for a year, and to leap five gates with a common Body Tempering Fist, reaching the peak of the Divine Treasury Realm... how terrifying must such martial arts aptitude be!"

Lu Xuening couldn't help but exclaim.

From a young age, she had used medicinal baths to temper her muscles and bones. Once her muscles and bones were developed, she began martial arts training at thirteen, taking five years to leap five gates and reach the peak of the Divine Treasury Realm.

Such speed was already considered outstanding, but compared to Chen Fan, she felt utterly ashamed!

The White Ape, once again knocked to the ground by Chen Fan, endured the severe pain and quickly rose. Then, with a leap, he climbed up the pillar of the hall to the crossbeam, where he retrieved a pitch-black cudgel about one and a half zhang long!

"Even with the Golden-Hooped Rod, you can't become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

Chen Fan grinned at the White Ape, who stood hunched over on the crossbeam, wielding the Black Gold Cudgel.

"I admit I underestimated you, but today you are dead!"

The White Ape, gripping the Black Gold Cudgel, leaped down, swinging the cudgel directly towards Chen Fan's location!

"Blade Draw Slash!"

Chen Fan drew the hundred-forged Embroidered Spring Blade from his waist and unleashed the Grand Perfection-level Blade Draw Slash. With a single slash, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared.

This slash was accompanied by a fierce wind and continuous sonic booms. The terrifying force, combined with the perfectly integrated blade technique, went straight for the White Ape.

This slash represented Chen Fan's highest combat power at this moment. It was as if, after drawing his blade tens of thousands of times, he had gathered the momentum of those tens of thousands of draws into this one slash!

Clang!

The hundred-forged Embroidered Spring Blade collided with the Black Gold Cudgel in the White Ape's hand, producing a sound like metal striking stone. A loud cracking sound was heard, and Chen Fan's slash split the Black Gold Cudgel in two. The momentum of the blade did not diminish, heading straight for the White Ape's neck!

Puchi!

With a single slash, a bloody mark appeared on the White Ape's neck, and the White Ape's movements came to an abrupt halt. The massive body seemed to lose control, falling naturally from mid-air. The one-zhang-tall body separated from its head, and demonic blood gurgled from the severed neck, quickly staining a large area of the ground red!

[Killed a fifth gate Divine Treasury Realm White Ape demon, stealing ninety-nine years of lifespan!]

"The blade technique you used just now... was that Blade Draw Slash?"

Lu Xuening asked uncertainly.

Although she had never practiced Blade Draw Slash, many others had. Even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs run.

Chen Fan's slash just now clearly carried a strong blade intent. To be able to cultivate Blade Draw Slash to the point of generating blade intent was simply a fantasy!

"Grand Perfection-level Blade Draw Slash!"

Chen Fan corrected Lu Xuening's wording.

"So it was Grand Perfection-level Blade Draw Slash. I've really never seen that before."

Lu Xuening nodded somewhat blankly. After all, no one would be bored enough to cultivate a common Blade Draw Slash to the Grand Perfection level.

Today, she had witnessed it!

"Do you know any information about other demons in Ping An County?"

Chen Fan asked.

Now, he had a general understanding of his strength.

As long as it wasn't a Divine Aperture Realm demon, he should be able to kill it. Even a peak Divine Treasury Realm demon, he could kill.

Although the White Ape had only just stepped into the fifth gate Marrow Asura level of the Divine Treasury Realm and had not yet completed the tempering of his entire bone marrow, he hadn't spent too much effort killing the White Ape.

Two punches stunned him, and then a single slash killed him.

Therefore, he felt that he should be fine against a peak Divine Treasury Realm demon. After all, he was also at the peak of the Divine Treasury Realm, and he had cultivated all five gates of the Divine Treasury Realm to the extreme, so his body was comparable to a demon!

Although Lu Xuening was also a Divine Treasury Realm martial artist, she was still somewhat inferior to him. From this, he deduced that even their Brocade Guard Centurion, Cao De, might not be his opponent!

"Not for the time being."

"The demons who infiltrated Ping An County are very careful, and someone is helping them cover their tracks, so it's difficult to discover their whereabouts."

"This ape demon acted too flamboyantly, going too far, which is why I was able to follow the clues and find him."

Lu Xuening replied upon hearing this.

"Such a large Wangchun Pavilion should have more than just this White Ape demon. Perhaps there are other demons under his command. Let's search it and see if there are any other demons."

When Chen Fan heard that Lu Xuening didn't know the whereabouts of other demons, he became somewhat uninterested. So he thought of thoroughly investigating Wangchun Pavilion.

"That makes sense."

Lu Xuening nodded in agreement.

The two inspected Wangchun Pavilion. Chen Fan found a rat demon and a pig demon, killing them swiftly.

[Killed a second gate Divine Treasury Realm Black Pig demon, stealing thirty-three years of lifespan!]

[Killed a first gate Divine Treasury Realm Rat demon, stealing forty-five years of lifespan!]

Lu Xuening found a fox demon who had become a Courtesan, and a dog demon guarding the cellar cage in the backyard of Wangchun Pavilion!

In the cellar cage in the backyard of Wangchun Pavilion, were imprisoned innocent women who had just been abducted by Wangchun Pavilion, as well as women who had been sold here by their parents.

The parents who sold their daughters to Wangchun Pavilion, in fact, most of them didn't really want to sell them. Instead, they were tricked by Wangchun Pavilion into owing astronomical debts, forcing them to desperation and leaving them no choice but to sell their sons and daughters.

Chen Fan felt a little regretful looking at the fox demon and dog demon killed by Lu Xuening. If these two demons had been killed by him, it would have been two more demonic lifespan incomes.

However, today's trip to Wangchun Pavilion was quite rewarding. He rescued many innocent people, and also killed three demons, obtaining one hundred and seventy-seven years of demonic lifespan.

Lu Xuening and Chen Fan directly threw the corpses of the slain demons into the hall. The guests of Wangchun Pavilion were dismissed, and soon people from the county government and the Brocade Guard arrived.

This time, Chief Squad Leader Li Mo of the Brocade Guard led the team, along with several of his trusted Squad Leaders and Brocade Guard members.

As for the people from the yamen, Lu Xuening mobilized them under the guise of being a constable.

It is the duty of the Brocade Guard to kill demons and monsters, and Wangchun Pavilion not only has demons and monsters, but also some human accomplices who force women into prostitution and harm the people. Therefore, it is reasonable for the yamen to intervene.

In fact, many times, Brocade Guard members and local yamen work together on cases. After all, a demon case often involves these two departments, and the interests involved include both demons and victims.

"Subordinate Chen Fan greets Chief Squad Leader Li!"

Chen Fan saw Li Mo arrive, stepped forward, and bowed his hand in greeting.

"You're from Ninth Squad?"

Li Mo glanced at Chen Fan and then nodded.

The Brocade Guard Precinct has a total of two Chief Squad Leaders. Although they can mobilize any squad, they always have their own preferences.

For example, Chen Fan's immediate superior, Wang Chao, is closer to Huang Chengyue, so Li Mo rarely calls on the people from Ninth Squad to help him with his work.

Therefore, he only has an impression of Chen Fan, a member of Ninth Squad. After all, Chen Fan is not an old-timer in the Brocade Guard; he only joined last year.

"Yes."

Chen Fan replied.

"Return to your squad for now."

Li Mo nodded upon hearing this.

He didn't care why Chen Fan appeared in Wangchun Pavilion, but since Chen Fan took the initiative to step forward, he couldn't ignore him.

As for Chen Fan killing the White Ape great demon, Lu Xuening had helped him keep it a secret at Chen Fan's request.

Because someone was targeting him, he previously thought it was Huang Chengyue, but with Lu Xuening vouching for Huang Chengyue, and after secretly following Huang Chengyue for several days without discovering any signs of collusion with demons, he felt that he had suspected the wrong person.
