Do you really think I'm stupid?

Clang!

A heaven-shattering sword cry echoed through the void.

A cultivator, riding a flying sword, shot through the darkness of the night.

"Ye Tianhe of the Ziyang Sword Sect, die, you demonic spawn..."

He finished speaking, formed a hand seal, and pointed forward.

The flying sword flashed through the air, heading straight for the Demonic Sect's female cultivator.

A majestic and domineering sword intent, a fierce and wild killing intent in the night sky, condensed into a tangible form, as if tearing apart the dark firmament, filled with an overwhelming and valiant aura.

Even Su Fan, hiding in a house, could clearly feel this killing intent.

His scalp tingled, and his back felt ice-cold.

Black mist rose around the Demonic Sect's female cultivator, coalescing into ferocious, ghastly faces that sent shivers down one's spine.

She waved her hand, and the black mist formed a giant ghostly hand, which smashed fiercely at the flying sword.

BOOM!!!

With a world-shattering roar, the ghostly hand blocked the flying sword, but it also exploded.

The flying sword seized the opportunity and descended from the sky.

Its sharp edge, stirring up a vast and mighty force, swept across the area outside the market town like a tidal wave!

The magic tool, the Black Hammer, wielded by the tall black-robed cultivator, was sent flying with a single sword strike.

He himself was sent flying dozens of meters, a deep wound left on his chest.

Several zombies and hundreds of living corpses were torn to shreds by the flying sword, leaving a ground full of dismembered limbs.

Next, the Demonic Sect's female cultivator and Ye Tianhe engaged in a fierce battle in the air, fighting to the death.

The arrival of the Sword Cultivator brought a sigh of relief to Su Fan.

He climbed onto the rooftop, staring in shock at the fierce battle in the sky.

For the first time, he experienced the charm of a Sword Cultivator: no matter the obstacle, I shall cleave it with my sword.

This was true cultivation; he, on the other hand, could only swing a broken sword around.

He had a general understanding of what had happened tonight.

It was likely a small elite team from the Ghost King Sect, taking advantage of the empty rear lines of various sects, had infiltrated the Chu Kingdom to sow chaos.

It was estimated that not only Shaoyang Market Town was targeted tonight, but many other places would also be attacked by demonic cultivators.

The Demonic Sect was truly brutal and cunning, having people infiltrate the market town to activate the second-tier "Heavenly Demon Talisman."

The "Heavenly Demon Talisman" sealed the remnant soul of an outer-realm Heavenly Demon. Although its strength was greatly diminished, it was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The outer-realm Heavenly Demon rampaged through the market town, and the disciples of the Lesser Yang Sect, as well as the shops within the market town, were likely doomed.

Su Fan wondered if Old Xu could escape. He still owed him a favor.

After such a catastrophe, the Lesser Yang Sect would likely suffer heavy losses, and the market town would fall into a slump for a while.

Fortunately, these damned demonic cultivators probably wouldn't linger here and should withdraw before dawn.

You old hag, chasing me like that. Once I reach Foundation Establishment, I'll destroy you first.

No, first I'll... then I'll...

The Rogue Cultivators outside the market town, now unhindered, also charged into the market town madly.

From time to time, Rogue Cultivators were pounced on by the remaining living corpses, not to mention those who killed each other fighting for passage.

In a short while, many Rogue Cultivators had met their tragic end on the spot.

The demonic cultivators had already finished their plunder within the market town, but there should still be some things left behind.

The Rogue Cultivators who rushed into the market town once again plunged into a bloody battle to seize resources.

"Are they all crazy? Isn't it better to just live well?"

Su Fan stood on the rooftop, watching the tragic scene before him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Now that he was safe, he decided to leave.

The Demonic Sect's female cultivator was entangled with the Sword Cultivator and had no time to bother with him.

At this moment, as the Rogue Cultivators poured into the market town, some survivors within the town also began to flee amidst the chaos.

Su Fan, who was preparing to leave, spotted Xu Wen in the crowd, sprinting out of the market town.

As soon as Old Xu ran out of the market town, he was entangled by a few surviving living corpses. Despite his desperate resistance, he was still in grave danger.

Seeing this, Su Fan leaped and jumped down from the rooftop.

He unleashed his Light Body Art to its extreme, and with a few bounds, he reached Old Xu's side.

Wielding the magic sword wrapped in scorching electricity, he swept past the living corpses, leaving behind a pile of dismembered limbs.

"Su... Brother Su, is that you?"

Su Fan grabbed his arm and shouted, "Let's go... I'll help you break out..."

At this moment, the female cultivator from the Demonic Sect, who was fighting a Sword Cultivator in the air, happened to see the purple lightning emanating from Su Fan's sword below.

"Brat, you've finally shown yourself..."

Now that she was entangled by the Sword Cultivator, she could only transmit her voice to the person below.

"Kill that brat for me."

The closest person to Su Fan was the demonic cultivator who practiced the Zombie Path.

Although he had taken a sword from Ye Tianhe, his physical body had been refined into a Zombie Dharma Body. Not only did it have astonishing defensive capabilities, but it also possessed powerful regenerative abilities.

He was seriously injured, but it wasn't fatal. It was more than enough to deal with a minor cultivator at Qi Refining Third Layer.

He received Qinghuan's voice transmission, leaped dozens of meters, and chased after Su Fan.

"Bang..."

Su Fan heard a loud bang and turned to see the huge body of the black-robed demonic cultivator landing not far behind him.

"What the hell..."

In such a short time, he had been targeted by the female demonic cultivator.

Su Fan grabbed Old Xu, cast the Light Body Art, and fled for his life.

The zombie man's figure appeared stiff and clumsy, but with every leap, he could cover dozens of meters, catching up in just a few steps.

Su Fan pushed Old Xu forward, took out the Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman, slapped it onto his body, and then held his magic sword with both hands, turning to slash horizontally.

"Headwind Slash..."

The zombie man didn't even use his magic tool, and without thinking, he punched towards the magic sword.

In his eyes, a minor cultivator at Qi Refining Third Layer, instead of running, dared to turn back and attack.

He was a Zombie Dharma Body with a powerful physique, and even Body Cultivators didn't dare to get close.

"Bang..."

Su Fan's magic sword suddenly erupted with scorching electricity, fiercely striking the zombie man's fist.

With a "crack."

The zombie man's fist was smashed to pieces, and his entire right hand was completely crippled.

"Ah..."

The black-robed demonic cultivator instantly suffered a great loss.

How could this brat have so much strength, and his magic sword was also emitting sparks of electricity?

The Zombie Dharma Body had no pain sensation, but it was most afraid of lightning strikes.

The scorching current, along with the electricity, drilled into his body from his hand, and his entire body began to stiffen and convulse.

Su Fan naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. Electricity flashed under his feet, and he appeared behind the opponent.

"Whirlwind Slash..."

He swung his greatsword in a wide arc, fiercely slashing at the zombie man's nape.

This sword strike almost severed half of the zombie man's neck.

His entire body felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, flying out more than ten meters and rolling several times on the ground before stopping.

The Demonic Sect's Zombie Dharma Body was indeed physically tough. Even after being cut like this, he wasn't killed.

He flipped over and got up, activated a protective talisman, and then patted the Corpse Raising Coffin at his waist.

He summoned two tall and ferocious Bronze Armored Zombies to block in front of him.

He then patted the Storage Bag at his waist and summoned a Black Hammer magic tool.

He formed a hand seal, flicked his wrist, and the Black Hammer "whooshed" towards Su Fan.

The magic tool moved extremely fast, instantly appearing before Su Fan.

"Sacrificial Slash..."

With nowhere to dodge, Su Fan fiercely slashed with his sword.

Although he managed to deflect the Black Hammer magic tool, he was also sent flying by a powerful force, crashing more than ten meters away and falling heavily to the ground.

Su Fan almost fainted. He endured the metallic taste in his mouth and forcefully suppressed a mouthful of fresh blood.

The magic tool's attack failed. The zombie man quickly formed a hand seal and chanted, controlling the two zombies to charge forward.

He then pointed from afar, and the Black Hammer magic tool circled in the air and headed straight for Su Fan.

Su Fan took out a talisman and threw it fiercely at the zombie charging in front.

Rumble!!!!

A blinding thunderbolt instantly descended from the sky.

The charging zombie was hit directly by the Heavenly Thunder Evil Suppressing Talisman.

In an instant, it was struck down to the ground, twitched a few times, and stopped moving, its body emitting a burnt smell.

Su Fan suddenly disappeared from his original spot and, in the blink of an eye, appeared beside another zombie.

He took out an "Evil Suppressing Talisman" and, like a hammer, struck it onto the zombie's head.

The "Evil Suppressing Talisman" directly dispersed the yin energy from the zombie's body, knocking it to the ground. It struggled, twitching.

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, the Black Hammer smashed over. Su Fan rolled onto the ground, and in the process of rolling, he suddenly sprang up, like a piece of paper blown by the wind.

Slowly but swiftly, he floated over in an instant.

Immediately after, he used "Lightning Ghost Step" to teleport and change direction twice consecutively, holding his magic sword and heading straight for the zombie man.

The zombie man was already injured and had just been tricked. His right hand was also crippled. No matter what, he couldn't let Su Fan get close again.

With a fierce resolve, he patted the Corpse Raising Coffin and summoned a incomplete Bronze Armored Zombie to charge at Su Fan.

This Bronze Armored Zombie only had more than half of its body left, and one leg was only half intact.

However, its speed was still not slow. With a single leap, it blocked Su Fan's path.

Su Fan used "Lightning Ghost Step" to change direction again, suddenly appearing behind the incomplete zombie.

He swung his greatsword, wrapped in purple lightning, in a wide arc, and fiercely slashed at the incomplete zombie's leg.

It directly severed its remaining leg. The zombie immediately fell to the ground, struggling to crawl forward, but it was no longer a threat.

Su Fan seized the opportunity and charged forward. Before the Black Hammer magic tool could hit him, he turned and threw out a "Law Banning Talisman," then charged at the zombie man with his sword.

With a flash of light, the overflowing spiritual energy enveloped it.

The uncontrolled Black Hammer magic tool fell to the ground with a "thud."

Seeing his magic tool rendered useless, the zombie man panicked.

He let out a roar, lunged at Su Fan, and violently collided with him.

Before Su Fan could even swing his sword, the opponent had already rushed to his face.

He simply threw his magic sword away. The Dao Seed in his chest exploded with a roar, and scorching currents surged madly into Su Fan's arms.

He twisted his body slightly, his hands covered in electric light, grabbed the zombie man's arms, and threw him away with the momentum.

"Ink Dragon Swing..."

The zombie man was thrown into the air by him. Su Fan followed closely, like a shadow.

He crouched his body, his aura like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. His entire physical body became like a drawn bow, powerfully coiling.

He sprang outward, his joints cracking like popping beans.

All his strength converged, and with a powerful punch, he struck the zombie man's body, sending him flying again.

"Fierce Tiger Collapse..."

Su Fan did not stop there. His body, wrapped in purple lightning, followed up again.

He stomped his right foot on the ground, his body like a furious bull, and violently tossed his head.

"Kui Ox Hammer..."

The demonic cultivator's massive body was sent tumbling into the air by his headbutt.

Immediately after, Su Fan continuously used Xingyi Quan, fiercely smashing it into the demonic cultivator's body. The opponent didn't even have a chance to land.

"Bear Mountain Lean..."

"Azure Bear Charge..."

"Stone Ape Axe..."

"Wind Falcon Blade..."

Finally, he raised his leg high and stomped down fiercely onto the zombie man's body.

"Dragon Elephant Stomp..."

Su Fan's entire body was enveloped in scorching, dazzling purple lightning. The seven consecutive powerful fist techniques pushed Xingyi Quan to its extreme.

The zombie man's tall body, like a sack of rags in the air, was continuously beaten by Su Fan, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

He convulsed all over, struggled a few times, and tried to get up.

Su Fan panted heavily, turned, picked up his magic sword, and then approached the zombie man.

He raised his magic sword high and was about to strike.

"Stop... Killing a disciple of my Ghost King Sect, aren't you afraid of being implicated and having your nine generations exterminated?"

A black-robed demonic cultivator from a distance, leading a group of evil cultivators, was rushing towards them.

Su Fan turned his head and smiled.

He brought his sword down.

The zombie man's head rolled far away before it stopped.

His eyes glared, unclosed in death.

Damn it, acting like you'd let me go if I didn't kill him.

Did they really think I was stupid?

He picked up the zombie man's magic tools and took the storage bag from his waist.

After thinking for a moment, he also put away the Corpse Raising Coffin.

Having quickly done all this, Su Fan turned and ran, disappearing into an alley.

The black-robed Demonic Cultivator arrived with murderous intent, bringing several Evil Cultivators to chase him into the alley.

Su Fan, who had been waiting for a long time, directly flung an "Ice Needle Arrow Rain Talisman" at them.

The temperature in the alley suddenly dropped below zero, and countless ice needles covered the entire alley.

It truly lived up to its reputation as the most awesome team-wiping artifact in history.

Except for the black-robed Demonic Cultivator, who managed to escape by sacrificing a shield-like protective magic tool, the few Evil Cultivators were all riddled with holes by the ice needles.

How could Su Fan give this Demonic Cultivator a chance? He flung another "Body Fixing Talisman."

It was already difficult for the black-robed Demonic Cultivator to block the ice needle arrow rain.

Now that his body was immobilized by the "Body Fixing Talisman," Su Fan, rushing forward, severed his head with a sword.

Su Fan quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then turned to leave.

A while later, several black-robed Demonic Cultivators arrived at the alley. Looking at the scattered corpses, their faces turned grim.

Above the market town, the battle between the Demonic Sect female cultivator and the Sword Cultivator continued. Both sides were fired up, and the fight was fierce, with neither gaining the upper hand.

Upon hearing the transmission from her subordinate, the Demonic Sect female cultivator froze.

In her moment of stunned disbelief, she was almost hit by the opponent's flying sword.

She couldn't understand how a mere cultivator at the Qi Refining Third Layer could have killed two disciples of the Ghost King Sect, both at the Mid Qi Refining Stage.

The operation to infiltrate the Chu Kingdom had been flawless until now. Who would have thought they would lose two sect disciples?

Especially the disciple who practiced the Zombie Path, he was an elite within the sect, a member of a Corpse Raising family. There would be a lot of explaining to do when they returned.

She gritted her teeth, a surge of anger building in her chest, about to explode.

"Senior Sister Qinghuan, more cultivators from the Immortal Sect have arrived..."

The Demonic Sect female cultivator took a deep breath and said coldly, "Deal with the Evil Cultivators, leave none alive, and then we'll withdraw..."

After speaking, she formed a hand seal, took a drop of her vital blood, and merged it with Su Fan's aura.

Her lips moved slightly as she counted on her fingers, chanting an incantation.

A blinding red light flashed, and with a "whoosh," it flew towards the market town.

"You little brat, don't let me run into you again..."

Then she waved her hand and threw a talisman.

The talisman exploded with a "boom," and endless black mist quickly spread through the air.

The Sword Cultivator opposite her knew she was trying to escape.

He controlled his flying sword to sweep away the black mist in a few strokes, but the Demonic Sect female cultivator had already vanished.

A Bone Flying Boat, shrouded in black mist, shot up into the sky and disappeared into the pitch-black night in an instant.
