Black Wind City, headquarters of the Wind Fiend Sect.
This was a fortress built from massive black stones, somber and oppressive.
Inside the main hall deep within the headquarters, an elder clad in a black feathered cloak, with a gaunt face and sunken eyes, sat cross-legged on an altar made of countless white bones.
He was the Sect Master of the Wind Fiend Sect, the Old Demon of Black Wind.
At this moment, his eyes were tightly shut, surrounded by dark gray "wind fiends," his aura cold and powerful, having clearly touched the threshold of the Dan Yuan Realm.
Before him, Chu Mengxi and several other captured Demon Slayers of the Demon Suppression Division were bound by special black iron chains and suspended in mid-air.
Their True Qi was being continuously siphoned away by a strange power, transforming into streams of pure energy that slowly flowed into the Old Demon of Black Wind's body.
"Heh heh heh..."
The Old Demon of Black Wind let out a grating laugh like a night owl, a look of ecstasy on his face.
"As expected of the elites from the Demon Suppression Division, the quality of this True Qi is far superior to those useless snacks! Especially you..."
His cloudy, greedy eyes fell upon Chu Mengxi.
"Your True Qi is supremely yin and pure, practically a top-grade tonic tailor-made for me! Once I drain you dry, I will use this power to break through my bottleneck and condense my Dan Yuan! By then, the Nan Yan Commandery's Demon Suppression Division will be nothing but a plaything in my grasp!"
The other Demon Slayers' faces were already ashen, their breaths weak. They had clearly lost a significant amount of vital energy and were not far from death.
Only Chu Mengxi was still stubbornly holding on.
Her beautiful face was deathly pale, but her eyes remained cold and defiant.
On her chest, an ancient, ice-blue pendant emitted a faint, gentle glow.
It was like a sturdy barrier, desperately protecting her heart and slowing the depletion of her vital energy.
This was her family's inherited protective treasure, the Ice Heart Soul.
It was thanks to this treasure that she hadn't been instantly drained like the others.
But she knew this was merely delaying the inevitable.
The treasure's energy would eventually be depleted.
And when that happened, she too would face death.
"Old Demon of Black Wind! You heretic, you go against the natural order and practice evil! You will surely face heavenly retribution! The army of my Demon Suppression Division will soon flatten your Black Wind City!"
Chu Mengxi's voice was weak, but her tone was resolute.
"An army? Heh heh heh..."
The Old Demon of Black Wind seemed to hear the greatest joke. "You mean those three headless flies outside? They're probably still worrying about how to get into the city! Once I break through to the Dan Yuan Realm, they'll be the first ones I deal with!"
He was clearly filled with absolute confidence in his arrangements.
However, at that very moment.
"Boom--!"
A world-shattering explosion erupted from the direction of the main gate without any warning!
The massive gate, forged from black iron and weighing ten thousand jin, was blasted into pieces by an indescribable force from outside, sending splinters flying!
"Who?!"
The Old Demon of Black Wind's eyes snapped open, a flash of fury in them.
Who dared to be so presumptuous on his territory?!
Through the dust and smoke at the entrance, a tall figure emerged, holding a plain steel saber, standing against the light as he slowly walked in.
His steps were not fast, but they carried an unparalleled momentum that could shatter mountains and rivers, crushing everything in its path.
"Sorry to interrupt your afternoon tea."
Lin Feng looked at the scene in the hall, then at Chu Mengxi suspended in mid-air, a cold curve forming on his lips.
"However, I'm in a hurry. So, could you trouble yourself to... die?"
"A... seventh-level True Qi Realm cultivator?"
After an initial moment of shock, the Old Demon of Black Wind sensed Lin Feng's aura and burst into disdainful laughter.
"Hahaha! Heaven truly favors me! I was just worrying about not having enough tonic, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep! Kid, your courage is far greater than your strength!"
"Kill him!"
At his command, dozens of the Wind Fiend Sect's most elite "Black Wind Guards," stationed on both sides of the hall, drew their weapons and charged at Lin Feng with roars.
These Black Wind Guards were all True Qi Realm martial artists, battle-hardened and brimming with killing intent.
However, before Lin Feng, they were no different from the patrol teams from before.
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe the title has been changed!
"Sixth Stance of Nine Tribulations Thunder Slash, Thunder Moves the Nine Heavens!"
Lin Feng didn't even move his feet. He casually swung his saber forward.
[95x Crit Triggered!]
"BOOM!"
A terrifying blade energy, as thick as a bucket and entwined with countless bloody arcs of lightning, instantly erupted from the tip of the blade!
Where the blade energy passed, the air let out a mournful cry under the immense strain, and the ground was plowed into a bottomless ravine!
The dozens of fearless Black Wind Guards, the moment they came into contact with this blade energy, were like watermeluns smashed by a giant hammer. Before they could even scream, they exploded into clouds of bloody mist on the spot!
One strike!
Just one strike!
Dozens of True Qi Realm experts, turned to dust!
[Ding! Killed 57 individuals steeped in evil!]
[Crit Multiplier increased to 105x! Gained 127,000 Crit Points!]
"This... this is impossible!"
The wild laughter on Old Demon of Black Wind's face instantly froze, replaced by endless shock and disbelief!
Was this truly an attack that a seventh-level True Qi Realm cultivator could unleash?!
This power, he suspected, even he, a Half-step Dan Yuan Realm cultivator, might not be able to easily withstand!
Chu Mengxi, who was suspended in mid-air, her phoenix eyes, which had already dimmed, suddenly burst with an inexpressible brilliance.
Lin Feng!
Before she could even cry out his name, Lin Feng's figure had already turned into a bolt of lightning, charging directly at Old Demon of Black Wind!
"You're seeking death!"
Old Demon of Black Wind, both shocked and enraged, forcefully suppressed the tremor in his heart and unleashed his Half-step Dan Yuan strength without reservation!
He rubbed his hands together, and a highly concentrated, gray-black "Wind Fiend Ball" instantly formed in his palm, smashing fiercely towards Lin Feng!
This attack was powerful enough to corrode a small mountain into ashes!
However, Lin Feng neither dodged nor evaded. The blade in his hand lit up once more!
"Nine Tribulations Thunder Slash Seventh Form, Heavenly Tribulation Descends!"
Another blood-red lightning blade energy, even more condensed and more violent than before, tore through the air!
The blade energy and the Wind Fiend Ball collided fiercely in mid-air!
There was no earth-shattering explosion. The seemingly indestructible Wind Fiend Ball, as if made of paper, was split in two from the center by the blade energy.
It grazed past Lin Feng's sides and left two huge holes in the wall behind him.
The blade energy, however, continued its unstoppable momentum, heading straight for Old Demon of Black Wind's face!
"Not good!"
Old Demon of Black Wind's soul was filled with terror. He had never dreamed that his full-power attack would be so easily broken by the opponent!
He wanted to dodge, but found himself already locked onto by that domineering and unparalleled blade intent, completely unable to move!
At this critical moment!
The Hundred Refined Steel Blade in Lin Feng's hand, which had been with him since Qingyang County.
Finally, it could not withstand the terrifying power and exploded with a roar in mid-air, turning into countless fragments!
"Hahaha! Heaven helps me!"
Old Demon of Black Wind rejoiced at this sight. He seized this fleeting opportunity, retreated rapidly, and simultaneously formed hand seals, shouting sternly, "Wind Fiend Manifests, Demonic Shadow Devours Souls!"
The Wind Fiends around him instantly transformed into over a hundred ferocious ghosts, swarming towards Lin Feng to devour him!
However, just as he thought victory was within his grasp.
A cold, resolute shout rang out from behind him.
"Lin Feng, catch!"
