Fourth Master Huang suddenly attacked, his pair of sharp claws lunging fiercely at Lu Jun.

Lu Jun neither dodged nor evaded, his expression calm, silent as stone.

He stood there naked, as if he had given up all resistance.

The sharp claws tore directly through Lu Jun's body.

But the result was not as everyone expected, with flesh and blood flying, and blood splattering everywhere.

Instead, there was a crisp 'crack' sound.

It was like the crisp sound of ice shards breaking on a frozen lake in winter when struck by a heavy hammer.

Lu Jun's figure then dissolved into countless fragments of light and shadow.

"What's going on!" Fourth Master Huang's pupils contracted, completely unable to understand what had happened.

"Whoosh—"

A whistling sound of air being torn apart came from his ear.

Immediately after, Fourth Master Huang felt a pain in his neck.

"Old man, it's time for us to part ways..."

Behind Fourth Master Huang, Lu Jun's faint voice suddenly came.

Fourth Master Huang instinctively wanted to turn his head.

But, to his horror, he found he couldn't.

His gaze was uncontrollably drawn straight down, and finally, all he could see were Lu Jun's feet in straw sandals...

And the constantly dripping scarlet blood on the blade hanging from Lu Jun's hand...

And a massive, headless demon corpse slumped limply on the ground.

"That's his own body..."

"I'm dead?"

This was the last thought in Fourth Master Huang's mind.

The entire scene was silent.

No one had seen the sudden shift in events clearly.

"Kyōka Suigetsu... it's quite a useful ability..." Lu Jun turned, looking at the group of dumbfounded demons in front of him, a faint smile on his blood-stained face: "Next, it's your turn."

"I will leave none of you behind..."

"I'll kill you all..."

A human-like surprise appeared on the village chief demon's face, and he immediately waved his hand and shouted in a sharp voice: "Attack!"

"He's all alone."

The many demons hadn't seen clearly how Lu Jun had killed Fourth Master Huang.

They only thought Lu Jun had used some underhanded trick, so they weren't particularly afraid of him.

Thus, they charged forward.

But very soon, the many demons realized they were wrong.

Every time they approached Lu Jun's figure, thinking they could kill him with a single slap.

The result was unexpected.

The moment their claws and attacks landed on Lu Jun's body.

Lu Jun's figure would shatter into illusions, and then Lu Jun's true body would emerge from an unexpected position, ruthlessly severing their heads.

In almost the blink of an eye.

Countless demons turned into headless corpses.

The remaining demons became terrified, watching Lu Jun, who walked as if strolling through a garden amidst the headless corpses of the demons.

They were scared and began to flee frantically.

But they didn't know that Lu Jun had mastered the Spiritual Power—Soaring Wind.

When it came to pursuit, he was quite professional.

He quickly arrived in front of a demon.

The demon collapsed, knowing escape was impossible, and suddenly fell to the ground, kneeling and saying with tears streaming down his face.

"Ah... Ah Jun! I'm your Uncle Huazi! I even held you when you were little..."

After speaking, the demon's face shifted. The originally disgusting, hateful weasel face began to transform into the face of a middle-aged man with rough skin, small eyes, a flat nose, a square face, and a sparse beard.

"Heh heh." Lu Jun chuckled twice and, without hesitation, brought his blade down.

Then, with light steps, he moved to the next demon kneeling on the ground.

"Brother Jun, I'm Fubao! You held me just the day before yesterday..."

This was a demon still in its infancy. Upon seeing Lu Jun, it quickly shifted its appearance, revealing a young, innocent child's face and staring at Lu Jun pitifully.

"I don't kill the old, the young, the sick, or the disabled..." Lu Jun said calmly.

A strong hope for survival suddenly burst forth in the eyes of the child demon.

"Too bad, you only qualify for one of those: old, young, sick, or disabled..."

Lu Jun swung his blade.

He swung five times.

He severed the five limbs of the young demon. (Of course, don't overthink it, five limbs means four limbs plus its tail.)

He left it to die in pain, from excessive blood loss, and without peace.

"Heh, you're a demon, and you're trying to melt hearts with cuteness..."

Lu Jun sneered disdainfully and then moved on to the next demon.

"A'Jun, don't kill me! I'm the one who prescribed medicine for your soul-losing sickness!"

"Oh, an old acquaintance. Physician Shuanzi, huh? So it's you who likes prescribing sleeping pills to people!"

Crack!

Lu Jun ended another old acquaintance, feeling utterly delighted.

This felt so good!

It's still best to kill demons!

Lu Jun, covered in blood, had a faint smile on his face.

"He's a damn lunatic!"

"Damn it, this human is insane!"

"Who's not saying that? I saw it just now, even when many of our kind tried to appeal to their human emotions, it didn't work!"

"Everyone use your spiritual powers, stir up a sandstorm, and then scatter!"

The next second, the panicked weasel demons frantically inhaled, drawing large amounts of air into their mouths before exhaling forcefully.

A gale swept up sand, turning the entire village a hazy yellow.

Combined with the weasel demons' naturally yellow fur, they became completely invisible amidst the raging sandstorm.

"Run!"

The remaining dozen or so weasel demons fled in all directions.

Lu Jun frowned, "Troublesome..."

Then, the corners of Lu Jun's mouth curled up slightly. "That's fine too. Experiencing the torment of waiting for death before actually dying is also quite good."

"I will find each and every one of you and shatter every bone in your bodies."

Lu Jun whispered softly.

At this moment, at the entrance of Huang Family Village.

Three figures moved at extreme speed, darting through the sand-filled Huang Family Village.

"Hurry!" A rare look of seriousness appeared on the blind old man's face.

The three had rushed into Huang Family Village at top speed the moment Misty Mirage was killed and the domain covering Huang Family Village shattered.

Their objective was to rescue Lu Jun, who was fighting alone.

"Golden Robe, this sandstorm carries a lot of demonic energy!" the male Demon Slaying Division member said.

"It seems those weasel demons' talents are related to this sandstorm," the female Demon Slaying Division member stated.

"Hey, Yilin, do you think that kid can survive?" the male Demon Slaying Division member asked the female Demon Slaying Division member named Yilin beside him.

"Eighty percent chance," Yilin replied. "According to the timeline, the Concealment Lamp's effect hasn't ended yet. Plus, Misty Mirage is already dead."

"That means the young man has succeeded, and those demons can't detect his whereabouts."

"As long as we find him, everything will be fine."

"Besides, Golden Robe can sense the location and aura of the saber lent to that young man."

"What if the demons killed him, took the saber, and ran off with it...?" the male Demon Slaying Division member said subconsciously.

"..." Yilin fell silent.

"That child is still alive..." the blind old beggar said, his tone carrying a hidden meaning. "And it seems he's brought us some surprises..."

A look of surprise also flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes because he sensed a faint flow of true qi from the Bright Saber he had lent to Lu Jun.

Just then, the male Demon Slaying Division member's voice suddenly rose as he pointed to two figures in the distance amidst the swirling sand. "Such dense demonic energy, those are demons!"

The blind old man stopped moving, his cloudy eyes fixed intently on a spot in the distance.

He said lightly, "Li Tuo, leave that to you."

The male Demon Slaying Division member named Li Tuo's eyes lit up. He abruptly unstrapped the large axe from his back and charged towards the demons in the distance.

"Demons, die!"

Li Tuo descended from the sky, landing directly before the two demons. He raised his axe high and swung it down with immense force, aiming for the two creatures.

"There's still a human!"

"No, it's the Demon Slaying Division!"

"We just escaped that lunatic, and now we've run into the Demon Slaying Division!"

The two demons were filled with despair.

Just as Li Tuo was about to cleave the demons in his exhilaration.

A cold glint flashed through the yellow haze beside them, abruptly deflecting Li Tuo's great axe.

"Get lost if you want to steal my kill!"

Li Tuo's face contorted in shock.

A tremendous force surged from his palm, and the next moment, the giant axe in his hand was ripped away. He himself was sent flying.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe the name has just been changed!
