Decisive Slaughter, Demonic Cultivators Tremble! Golden Core Battle, Heaven and Earth Change Color!

At this moment, Elder Willow Wood, along with Liu Ruyan and the others, had already clashed with the Demonic Sect members.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Bang, bang..."

Streams of various-colored essence energy flew through the air, and the sounds of explosions rang out without end.

Chen Changqing held his breath and focused, preparing to unleash his sword and charge into battle.

But just then, waves of eerie black mist suddenly surged in from all directions.

When the black mist dispersed, figures were revealed one after another.

A dense, dark mass—no fewer than dozens of people!

Clearly, in Qingxi Village, there were more Demonic Sect members than the ones they had seen earlier.

Upon spotting Elder Willow Wood and the others, the leading Demonic Sect member let out a cold snort and said with a sinister tone:

"Kill all these righteous hypocrites for me!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

At his command, dozens of figures shot straight forward.

In an instant, demonic energy roiled, and the cries of battle shook the heavens!

Seeing this, Chen Changqing's gaze sharpened.

The Chengying Sword let out a series of resonant hums.

"Looks like a bloody battle today," he muttered quietly to himself.

Then, without further thought, he transformed directly into a streak of light and shot toward a demonic cultivator at the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

"Oh?"

Seeing Chen Changqing charging at him, the demonic cultivator let out a sinister laugh and slashed a bloody blade light from his Blood Blade:

"A mere fifth-layer Qi Refining brat—courting death!"

"Clang!"

Chen Changqing's expression remained utterly calm. With a thought, the Chengying Sword shot straight out to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

Blade and sword clashed, sparks flying in all directions!

The next moment, Chen Changqing's figure flickered. He pushed his Sword Control Technique to its limit, and the Chengying Sword flew down beneath his feet.

Once steady, he pressed two fingers together and let out a soft shout:

"Go!"

Then, the Chengying Sword shot forth, its sword light weaving like a swimming dragon, forcing the demonic cultivator to retreat step by step.

"What?"

"A brat at the fifth layer of Qi Refining can actually force me into a purely defensive stance?"

As he parried, the demonic cultivator's heart shook with shock.

He had originally thought Chen Changqing was an easy target.

With his own cultivation at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, killing him should have been effortless, right?

But who would have guessed that once he actually crossed blows with Chen Changqing, he realized Chen Changqing was far from the weakling he had imagined.

Just as the demonic cultivator was stunned, Chen Changqing seized the moment and caught a flaw in his defense.

His figure flickered, and in an instant, he was right in front of the demonic cultivator.

"Thunderclap Divine Fist!"

The next moment, Chen Changqing swung his fist and smashed it down.

"Boom!"

Lightning exploded from his right fist, its momentum like a surging flood!

Seeing this, the demonic cultivator's pupils contracted in shock.

Before he could even react, Chen Changqing's fist had already slammed into his chest.

"Pfft!"

The demonic cultivator spat out a large mouthful of black blood, his eyes wide with utter disbelief.

Looking down, he saw that his chest had been directly punched through by Chen Changqing's fist, blood gushing out.

"No..."

The demonic cultivator's eyes were filled with shock, but before he could finish his words, his body crumpled into a pool of blood, his life force severed.

Chen Changqing stared at the fallen corpse, a faint wave of discomfort rising in his heart.

After all, this was the first time he had ever killed someone.

"These Demonic Sect people treat human lives like weeds."

"Even if they die, they've brought it upon themselves."

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing quickly suppressed the faint discomfort in his heart.

Beyond that, he also understood that in this world, the strong preyed on the weak.

If he didn't kill others, they would come to kill him.

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, a shout suddenly came from not far away:

"Junior Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

"A life-or-death battle, and you're spacing out?"

Liu Ruyan's cold voice rang out.

Hearing this, Chen Changqing quickly snapped back to reality, a bit embarrassed as he said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Liu!"

Liu Ruyan cast a cold glance at Chen Changqing, said nothing more, and continued flying her sword toward the demonic cultivators to attack.

Chen Changqing steadied his mind and prepared to act again.

Just then, a system notification suddenly echoed in his mind:

[Ding!]

[Killed a living being. Obtained AFK Point +1.]

"AFK Point?"

Chen Changqing was stunned, caught off guard by the system's sudden prompt.

Soon, the system's explanation followed:

[AFK Points can shorten AFK time.]

"It can do that?"

Chen Changqing's eyes lit up!

If AFK cultivation was already cheating, now he could even speed it up?

"These demonic cultivators... they're basically experience babies!"

In an instant, the look in Chen Changqing's eyes toward the surrounding demonic cultivators had completely changed.

He hadn't expected that killing living beings would grant him so-called AFK Points.

And these AFK Points could shorten his AFK time.

"Then don't blame me for this!"

Snapping back to reality, Chen Changqing's eyes blazed with battle intent, and his killing desire toward the demonic cultivators around him surged!

"Swish!!"

The next moment, without hesitation, he shot out on his sword, his form like lightning.

Wherever the Chengying Sword passed, demonic cultivators fell one after another.

Some were killed with a single sword stroke to the throat!

Others had their heads blown apart by a single punch!

His strikes were ruthless, clean, and efficient, with no wasted motion!

In a short time, several Demonic Sect members had died miserably under Chen Changqing's hand.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan and the others, who were still fighting other demonic cultivators, were all stunned by the sight.

"This?"

"What's gotten into Chen Changqing?"

"His strikes are truly fast, accurate, and ruthless!"

"I feel like Junior Brother Chen is more like a demonic sect member than these Demonic Sect people!"

"..."

At the same time, the demonic cultivators, seeing Chen Changqing's brutal slaughter, actually retreated in fear, intimidated by his momentum.

"Hmm?"

Liu Ruyan noticed this, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she inwardly marveled:

"So decisive in killing... Is he really just an Outer Disciple?"

"With strength at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, he can easily kill demonic cultivators at the seventh or eighth layer?"

The more she thought about it, the more shocked Liu Ruyan became, and the more she found Chen Changqing unfathomable.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just as Liu Ruyan and the others were dealing with the Qi Refining realm Demonic Sect disciples.

Elder Willow Wood, on the other hand, was locked in a standoff with a Golden Core demonic cultivator.

The moment this Golden Core demonic cultivator appeared, the sky suddenly darkened, and thunder exploded!

Elder Willow Wood stood aloft in the air, lightning coiling around him like a thunder god descending to the mortal world.

As they faced off, the Golden Core demonic cultivator in blood-red robes cackled eerily:

"You Shushan ox-nose, today I'll show you my might!"

Hearing this, Elder Willow Wood let out a cold snort:

"Hmph!"

"How dare your Demonic Sect recklessly slaughter mortals—you're simply asking for death!"

With that angry roar, Elder Willow Wood's hands swiftly formed seals, and with a pointed finger, the wind surged and clouds churned.

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, fall!"

"Crack!"

In an instant, above the nine heavens, as the clouds stirred, a bolt of lightning struck straight down.

Seeing this, the Golden Core demonic cultivator sneered coldly, his Blood Fiend Qi coalescing into a giant palm to clash with the thunder!

"Boom!!"

In less than a breath, the divine thunder struck that giant palm of Blood Fiend Qi.

A deafening roar resounded.

Then, midair, waves of air churned, and the earth cracked open!

On the other side, Chen Changqing and the others had already dealt with the Qi Refining Realm demonic cultivators and turned their attention to Elder Willow Wood's position.

They happened to witness the clash between Elder Willow Wood and the Golden Core demonic cultivator.

Two Golden Core powerhouses fighting!

Heaven and earth themselves changed color!
