• Bai Ruxiang and Wang Yihan worried over the exhausted Su Ming, who regretted retreating before he could finish off Scarred Man and Bald Man.

After recovering from using the Silver Arm, Su Ming drew the female Hunters’ awe, while Xu Yanyan grew more determined to deal with Xu Qianqian. Wang Yihan’s apparently living sword broke free and chased Su Ming, leaving the shelter in chaos.

• Su Ming recovered from the Silver Arm’s strain as the female Hunters, including Bai Ruxiang and Wang Yihan, regarded his power with fear and admiration.
• Xu Yanyan decided she needed to deal with Xu Qianqian soon, believing that would remove the Yun Family’s reason to interfere.

• Su Ming ran as the sword chased him, and Wang Yihan followed while the sword’s pursuit caused panic throughout the shelter.

Su Ming tried to evade a flying sword that chased him through the crowd, while Wang Yihan revealed that she and the sword were part of a plan to break the ruins’ seal. The sword was identified as one of the legendary Three Divine Artifacts, though its identity and what would happen next remained unresolved.

• Su Ming ran through the crowd to hide that the sword was pursuing him, but it continued chasing him at high speed and narrowly missed Bai Xiaoyan.
• Bai Ruxiang and Xu Yanyan pressed Wang Yihan to explain the sword’s origin after she admitted she could not stop it.
• Wang Yihan revealed that she was meant to be a sacrifice and the sword a medium for releasing the seal and awakening the Phantasmal Demon King.

• Su Ming and the others learned that the sword might be one of the world’s three strongest weapons: the Blade of Great Sin, the Demon Emperor Sword, or the Soul of the Judge.

The Demon Emperor Sword, one of the Three Divine Artifacts, fused with Su Ming's mutated right hand when he caught it. Bai Ruxiang suggested that the sword's nature and Su Ming's powerful right hand had drawn them together, leaving Su Ming with a possible explanation but many unanswered questions.

• After learning the sword was a divine artifact, Su Ming stopped fleeing and caught it with his right hand.

• Xu Yanyan noticed Su Ming's mutated right hand and questioned why the sword had entered it.
• Bai Ruxiang identified the sword as the Demon Emperor Sword and explained that its power-bearing nature might have made it compatible with Su Ming's right hand.

Su Ming discovered that the Demon Emperor Sword had merged into his right hand because it resonated with his Silver Arm, and he tried to learn whether he could control its power without being corrupted. The sword ignored every attempt to contact it, leaving Su Ming furious while the watching women misunderstood his struggle.

• Su Ming sensed the Demon Emperor Sword's immense power and savage will lodged in his right hand, then wondered whether he could tame it.
• Su Ming cautiously reached out to the sword, but it showed no response, so he grew bolder and tried to provoke it.
• Su Ming attempted to contact the sword in every way he could think of, yet it continued to ignore him.
• Wang Yihan wondered aloud whether Su Ming was constipated, while Bai Xiaoyan and the Bai Family's female Hunters assumed he was resisting the sword's will.
• Su Ming angrily demanded that the Demon Emperor Sword make a sound if it had the guts to enter his right hand.

Su Ming failed to gain the Demon Emperor Sword’s acknowledgment, while those at the shelter learned that the weapon had taken up residence in his right hand. As Su Ming considered how to conceal his identity and compensate Wang Yihan, Lord Crow arrived outside the shelter and ordered an attack.

• Su Ming told Xu Yanyan and the others that the Demon Emperor Sword would not respond to him or come out of his right hand, and Bai Ruxiang and the Bai Family Hunters defended his account.
• Su Ming considered how news of the sword could put him and the Yun Family in danger, but decided he could retire the King Ming identity and keep his own identity hidden.

• Su Ming struck Lord Crow from behind, but Lord Crow caught his fist without moving and tore off Su Ming’s right hand.

Su Ming used a Substitute Scarecrow to evade Lord Crow’s attack, but Lord Crow recaptured Wang Yihan and demanded the Demon Emperor Sword. The chapter left Su Ming facing Lord Crow’s crushing pressure as he prepared to fight for his life.

• Lord Crow severed Su Ming’s right arm, but Su Ming revealed that he had switched places with a Substitute Scarecrow and struck back.
• Lord Crow praised the Substitute Scarecrow and threatened to kill Su Ming so he could take it.

• Lord Crow demanded that Wang Yihan hand over the Demon Emperor Sword, but she refused and was glad it was no longer in her possession.
• Lord Crow turned his attention to Su Ming and released a pressure that left everyone unable to move.

Su Ming used his stock of rare Alchemy Potions to boost his abilities and fight Lord Crow, a Six-Star Professional, rather than abandon Wang Yihan. Their battle destroyed the shelter, and Su Ming realized Lord Crow was likely a mutated Hunter with extraordinary perception.

• Su Ming decided he could not flee while Wang Yihan remained in Sin's hands as the required sacrifice to break the seal.

• Su Ming concluded that Lord Crow was a mutated Hunter whose perception let him track the paths of the blade strikes.

Su Ming broke free of Lord Crow’s grip and unleashed Silver Arm’s power in a devastating slash that shook the collapsing cavern. As survivors fled the blast, Wang Yihan escaped her captors and ran into the collapsing area, forcing Scarred Man and Bald Man to pursue her.

• Su Ming powered up Silver Arm, broke Lord Crow’s grip, and unleashed a slash that created a destructive shock wave throughout the cavern.

• Wang Yihan bit Bald Man, escaped Scarred Man’s grasp, and plunged into the collapsing area.
• Scarred Man convinced a reluctant Bald Man that they could not betray Evil, and the two pursued Wang Yihan into the disintegrating cavern.

Bai Ruxiang and the Bai Family women chose to risk their lives rescuing Wang Yihan, while Xu Yanyan argued that they should escape and report the danger. As the ruins continued to collapse, Xu Yanyan secretly followed the direction indicated by her Life Paper, and the Demon Emperor Sword began reacting inside Su Ming's hand.

• Xu Yanyan urged Bai Ruxiang to flee the ruins and alert the family, but Bai Ruxiang insisted they rescue Wang Yihan and stop 'Sin' from releasing the Spirit Fiend Abyss King.
• Bai Xiaoyan suggested Xu Yanyan leave alone to report what had happened, and Bai Ruxiang and the other women agreed to proceed without her.
• Xu Yanyan left the group, then used her Life Paper to sprint in the direction it indicated.
• Su Ming landed amid the ongoing collapse, remained on guard, and felt his right hand growing hot as the Demon Emperor Sword stirred within it.

Su Ming lost himself in the power surging through his body and unleashed a relentless assault on Lord Crow, who countered with his Alchemy Weapon Ivangel. Under the pressure of the fight and the effects of the potions and his right hand, Su Ming underwent a demonic awakening and transformed into a demon.

• Lord Crow recognized Su Ming's condition as an awakening as Su Ming's body transformed, growing black skin, scarlet eyes, batlike wings, sharp nails, and glowing cracks.

• Su Ming’s Demonized form overwhelmed Lord Crow, battering him through the underground passage and rock walls.
• Lord Crow realized Su Ming’s Demonization had increased his strength by more than tenfold despite having only just awakened.

• Su Ming used Silver Arm: Violent Stream and brought a devastating flood of light down on Lord Crow.
• Lord Crow endured the attack, revealed his youthful appearance as his clothes and hood were torn away, and began transforming into a demonic humanoid.
• The flood of light exploded before Lord Crow’s transformation was complete, shaking the ruins and causing an earthquake in Longyao City.

• Su Ming put on his cloak and mask, and Wang Yihan realized he was Lord Ming Wang and was stunned by how young he was.

Su Ming learned how Wang Yihan had survived the collapsing ruins and returned to his side, then set out with her to rescue the others. He planned to protect her and recover his strength while avoiding another major fight.

• Wang Yihan told Su Ming how she escaped her captors, survived the first collapse, and was rescued by Bai Ruxiang and the Bai Family Hunters.
• Xu Yanyan found Gao Xu, Lu Yang, Duan Xiaofei, and Bai Xuefei after a Groundhog helped the High-level Professionals gather and survive attacks from "Sin."
