Demon Lord's Passage Changes the Winds and Clouds, Pupil Skill Astonishingly Peeks at Non-Human Form

The next moment.

The woman's smile froze.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she clutched her neck.

A bloody hole had appeared there, and blood was gushing out.

She opened her mouth, her body swaying.

After collapsing and twitching twice, she fell silent.

Then...

Swish swish swish~

Several pebbles flew out rapidly.

They shot holes into the legs of the people rushing at the very front.

"Ah!"

"My leg!"

A crowd fell down, clutching their legs.

Chen Duan shook his shoes, dislodging some stone fragments.

"I don't like it when people interrupt me."

His voice didn't sound heavy.

But amplified by the True Skill, Mountain Breaking Roar, and internal energy, it clearly reached everyone present.

The voice was calm, yet it sent a chill down everyone's spine.

The scene fell into a deathly silence again.

Those who had been rushing forward no longer dared to proceed.

The gang members were the first to react, immediately apprehending those people.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhenghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Chen Duan was not allied with these troublemakers.

Afterward, he dared not hide anything, answering Chen Duan's questions truthfully.

Chen Duan nodded slightly, having obtained the information he wanted.

Then, he punched Xiao Zhenghui in the chest.

"Ugh!"

Xiao Zhenghui grunted, staggering back seven or eight steps before collapsing onto the ground.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, his aura rapidly fading.

He could feel his internal energy, cultivated for many years, had been shattered.

His martial arts were ruined.

His life's hard-earned power, gone!

Even so, Xiao Zhenghui struggled to his feet, cupped his fists towards Chen Duan, and said hoarsely, "Thank you, senior, for sparing my life."

His initial punch had been aimed at killing Chen Duan.

Now that his martial arts were crippled but his life spared, it was clear Chen Duan had shown mercy because he had answered honestly.

He had no complaints, being the weaker party.

Chen Duan didn't look at him again. Having obtained the information he needed, he walked straight into the heavily guarded entrance of Ruantu Town.

"Lord Xiao, how are you?"

His trusted subordinates finally dared to approach, panicked.

Xiao Zhenghui gritted his teeth and ordered, "Quickly report to the higher-ups! Tell them a top expert of the Five Levels has broken into the town. Report everything that happened here, exactly as it is."

"Yes!"

His subordinate hurried off to relay the message.

Xiao Zhenghui managed to stand up, gazing in the direction Chen Duan had disappeared.

He had done his best with his gang duties; the higher-ups might not blame him for dereliction of duty.

However, according to the "customs" of Chuzhou, he was now a useless person with his martial arts crippled.

His standing within the gang had plummeted.

Although the gang had let him go.

His old enemies, those he had suppressed, would not miss this opportunity.

He needed to quickly go back, pack his things, and then leave Hunxi Valley immediately.

Find a more stable place.

To end his remaining life.

The martial world is heartless.

The world is unpredictable.

In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

A Fourth Level expert who had made a name for himself had sadly withdrawn from the martial world.

"Brother Sun, did you see that man's background clearly just now?"

Yan Fuzhen asked in a deep voice, his gaze still fixed on the direction Chen Duan had left.

Sun Baizhan slowly shook his head.

"The gang leader's strength was too weak, he couldn't force out his true abilities."

"Miss Xiaoqing, your eyesight is the best, did you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed Nie Wanqing's abnormality.

Her delicate body swayed, and she stumbled, nearly falling.

Yan Fuzhen reacted quickly, catching her.

"What's wrong?"

Nie Wanqing used his strength to steady herself, taking several deep breaths before her dizziness subsided.

What followed was a shock in her heart, she couldn't believe what she had seen.

But this time, she was sure she hadn't misread it.

Today, to see more clearly, she had pushed her Pupil Skill to its limit, observed for longer, and thus saw much more clearly.

But clarity was accompanied by terror.

What she saw far exceeded her understanding.

Could a person really cultivate to that extent?

Was that really a person?

Just from what she had already seen, Chen Duan had at least four types of internal energy that had cultivated True Qi, along with other large and small internal energies mixed in.

And this, it seemed, was not all, only what her current Pupil Skill could see.

It was the limit of her Pupil Skill, not his limit.

Dense.

Dazzling.

It didn't look like a person cultivating internal energy.

It was more like a person had been mixed into the internal energy.

And in a daze, she had also seen things that didn't look like internal energy, things she couldn't understand at all!

"Lord Yan..."

Nie Wanqing grabbed Yan Fuzhen's arm, her voice solemn.

"Be extremely careful of that person! He's very strange, very bizarre. If we encounter him later, it's best not to make an enemy of him!"

Yan Fuzhen's heart was puzzled, but he knew her character; she wasn't someone who liked to joke.

Seeing her so flustered, even saying such things, showed how immense the impact of that burly man was on her.

"Yes, I've noted it."

Yan Fuzhen responded seriously, but he suspected it might not be realistic.

Whether he became an enemy was not up to them to decide.

The recent commotion surrounding the Desire Flower was so significant that any expert encountered in Chuzhou could be considered a potential competitor.

If that person's target was also the Desire Flower, then he would be standing in their way, and conflict would be almost unavoidable.

Yan Fuzhen paid more attention to Chen Duan's strength, but he didn't feel much inclination to retreat.

If the other party truly became their enemy, it would prove that his strength was still at the Five Levels, on the same level as theirs.

As long as they were on the same level, he wasn't unbeatable.

After all, in a real fight, many things needed to be considered; strength was only the most basic aspect.

Their group was all experts, and with proper coordination and the use of some "methods," they would at least have a fighting chance against anyone.

But... if a Break Apex expert got involved, that would be beyond their concern.

Because the situation would no longer be under their control, and someone else would step in.

"What? You're saying a Five Levels expert broke in?"

A roar shook dust from the rafters.

The speaker was an unusually broad, middle-aged man with a potbelly.

He grabbed his subordinate by the collar, lifting his feet off the ground:

"Do you think the Five Levels are weeds, popping up anywhere!"

"It's absolutely true!"

The subordinate said with a mournful face.

"We couldn't stop him, the brothers couldn't stop him at all! Even Helmsman Xiao wasn't a match for him, not even for one move."

"True Qi? Did you see him use True Qi?"

"Didn't see that, maybe people like us aren't worthy of it…"

"Useless! Get out!"

Dong Kui, furious, flung the subordinate away.

The subordinate scrambled out of there.

Hua Xiong, seeing this, quickly brought forward a cup of tea, smiling obsequiously:

"Second Brother Dong, calm down, cool off, have some tea to moisten your throat…"

"I'll drink your ancestor!"

Crack!

Dong Kui slapped the porcelain cup away, sending it crashing against the wall, shattering into pieces.
