So What? One Slash, Instant Kill!

Facing the world-ending, heaven-destroying blood-colored lightning saber energy, the handsome face of Li Tianyu on the Skin-Peeling Demon's visage showed a look of utter horror for the first time!

It felt an irresistible death threat from the depths of its soul within that saber energy!

This was absolutely not an attack a True Qi Realm martial artist could unleash!

This power was overbearing, pure, and filled with the will to destroy everything!

"No—!"

The Skin-Peeling Demon let out a piercing scream. It wanted to flee, but its body was locked down by that terrifying saber intent, making it incredibly difficult to even move a finger. It could only watch as the saber energy grew larger and larger in its terrified pupils!

The saber energy struck the Skin-Peeling Demon's body with pinpoint accuracy. However, the scene of instant vaporization that was expected did not occur. Its demonic energy surged wildly, clashing and grinding against the overbearing saber energy with a bone-chilling "sizzle."

Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on its body's surface, and blood-colored lightning power flowed through the cracks, continuously destroying its life force.

"Ughhhhhh—!"

The Skin-Peeling Demon let out a non-human wail. The face that belonged to Li Tianyu began to twist and deform, shifting wildly between demonic and handsome, appearing incredibly bizarre.

It knew it was doomed, but before its complete annihilation, it glared venomously at Lin Feng on the rooftop and roared with its last ounce of strength:

"Idiot! You thought I was just wearing his skin?!"

"I've long since merged with his flesh and blood, his soul! If you kill me, you kill Li Tianyu! The person your Demon Suppression Division was supposed to protect will die by your blade! Hahahahaha!"

Amidst the shrill, wild laughter, the five features of Li Tianyu on its contorted face actually showed a pleading expression.

This astonishing turn of events caused the complexions of Chu Mengxi and the other two in the distance to change drastically!

Killing the demon also meant killing an innocent host?

Chu Mengxi even subconsciously wanted to tell Lin Feng to show mercy.

However, on the rooftop, the figure that resembled a god of destruction merely looked down indifferently at the struggling demon, not a single ripple in its dark eyes.

He parted his thin lips and uttered four words.

"So what?"

The moment the words fell, it was like the final judgment.

"No!"

The Skin-Peeling Demon's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpricks. It hadn't expected the other party to be so heartless and cold-blooded! Not even the slightest hesitation!

In the next moment, the blood-colored lightning saber energy coiled within its body detonated!

BOOM!

This time, there was no suspense.

The saber light was like a blazing sun, completely vaporizing and erasing the Skin-Peeling Demon along with the last trace of Li Tianyu's aura within it from this world.

Not even a speck of ash remained.

[Ding! Successfully killed Third-Order Demon, Skin-Peeling Demon!] [Crit Multiplier increased to 115x! Gained 20,000 Crit Points!]

One strike, a killing blow!

The entire Sleepless Street fell into deathly silence.

Chu Mengxi, Zhao Tie, and Li Rui stood there dumbfounded, like three petrified statues.

Their minds had completely crashed.

What just happened?

That Skin-Peeling Demon, which had rendered them helpless and whose true form they could barely even capture...

After revealing such a secret before its death, attempting to shake the opponent's resolve...

And yet, it was still, without hesitation...

Cut into nothingness with a single strike?

They mechanically turned their heads to look at Lin Feng on the rooftop not far away.

The night wind blew against Lin Feng's black robes, and the moonlight shone upon him, making his figure appear like an exiled immortal descended to the mortal realm, or perhaps... a heartless God of Slaughter wielding life and death.

"Gulp."

Zhao Tie swallowed with difficulty, feeling his throat was so dry it was about to smoke.

"Boss... I... I didn't mishear, did I? That monster said killing it was equivalent to killing Li Tianyu... Brother Lin... he didn't even blink?"

"...Mhm."

Li Rui's voice was also trembling. He looked at Lin Feng with eyes filled not only with shock but also a deep sense of reverence.

This decisiveness and ruthlessness made them feel ashamed of themselves.

Chu Mengxi said nothing. She just stared blankly at the figure on the rooftop. Her clear, cold phoenix eyes were already filled with endless shock.

She knew Lin Feng was strong, but each time she thought she had seen his limit, he would, in the next moment, refresh her understanding in an even more unbelievable way.

From the Meridian Opening Realm to reversing the Spirit Qi Realm, and now, at the seventh level of the True Qi Realm, instantly killing a Skin-Peeling Demon comparable to the peak of the Spirit Qi Realm, and still remaining unwavering even after learning that the host and demon would perish together...

How solid is his Dao heart?

What kind of monster is he?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ling Yue'er, who had just brushed past the gates of hell, had her beautiful eyes instantly erupt with a brilliance even more dazzling than the stars in the sky, after her initial terror subsided.

"Brother... Brother Lin..."

She gazed dazedly at Lin Feng on the rooftop, feeling her heart pound uncontrollably.

A hero saving a damsel.

This was a scene every young girl had fantasized about.

And Lin Feng's heroic posture just now, descending from the sky, slaying a demon with a single strike, ignoring threats, and decisively finishing it off, was simply ten thousand times more perfect than the most perfect hero in storybooks!

So cool!

He was so cool he had no friends!

Lin Feng leaped from the rooftop and landed lightly before her.

"Brother Lin!"

Ling Yue'er could no longer control her emotions. With a scream, she rushed into Lin Feng's arms like a young swallow flying into its nest, her slender arms tightly wrapping around his waist.

"Wuwuwu... You scared me to death! I thought I was doomed! Brother Lin, you're my great hero!"

As she cried, she also rubbed her little head against Lin Feng's chest.

Lin Feng: "..."

Her soft, elastic body pressed tightly against him.

A faint, refreshing scent of a young girl wafted from her nose.

Any normal man at this moment would have been overcome with desire.

However, Lin Feng merely reached out expressionlessly, grabbed Ling Yue'er by the collar of her clothes like picking up a kitten, and lifted her off him.

"Alright, the monster is dead. You can go home now."

"Huh?"

Ling Yue'er was stunned by his incredibly direct action. She pouted and said unhappily, "Brother Lin, I almost died just now. Can't you comfort me a little!"

"You didn't die."

"But I was scared!"

"If you're scared, go home, get under the covers, and tremble."

"You..."

Ling Yue'er stomped her feet in anger. In her entire life, she had never met such an unromantic blockhead!

But for some reason, instead of being angry, she felt...

This man was so special, so interesting!

Just then, Chu Mengxi and the other two also walked over.

Chu Mengxi looked at Lin Feng and said with a complex expression, "Lin Feng, this time... although it was to slay demons, you ultimately killed the legitimate son of the Li family. I'm afraid..."

"If you don't say it, and I don't say it, who will know he's the legitimate son of the Li family? I only killed a Skin-Peeling Demon!"

"..."

Chu Mengxi and the other two exchanged glances, further realizing Lin Feng's ruthlessness.

Lin Feng waved his hand. "Since the case is closed, I'll be heading back now."

With that, he turned and left, crisp and decisive, without any hesitation.

"Hey! Brother Lin! Wait for me!"

Seeing this, Ling Yue'er immediately chased after him like a little tail, beaming with joy.

"Brother Lin, where do you live? Can I come find you tomorrow?"

"Brother Lin, what do you like to eat? I'll have my chef make it for you!"

"Brother Lin, do you have someone you love? What do you think of me?"

Watching the City Lord's daughter, who was sticking to Lin Feng like a shadow, chattering incessantly and trying to please him.

Zhao Tie and Li Rui exchanged glances, revealing lewd smiles.

"Tsk tsk tsk, even heroes can't resist beauties."

"Brother Lin's charm is truly unmatched. He's even captured the most unruly little firecracker in our Nan Yan Commandery."

Only Chu Mengxi, watching the two receding figures, had a flicker of doubt in her clear, cold phoenix eyes.

Was the case solved a little too easily?
