Looting the Corpse, Lin Qingyan Takes the Blame

He stared at the fox demon corpse, which had been torn into eight pieces.

The refined scholar stood there dumbfounded, his body trembling uncontrollably like a sieve.

He racked his brain but couldn't understand, How could these two fox demon seniors, whose strength was comparable to the demon kings of Black Wind Mountain, have been so utterly defeated?

And their deaths were more gruesome than each other!

"Looking at the demonic aura contained in his slash just now, and that familiar pursuit method..."

"Hiss—isn't that the signature ability of Blood Claw?"

"Could it be... he swallowed Blood Claw's Demon Core and learned Blood Claw's innate divine ability?"

"But with the human race's frail body, how could it be digested so quickly?!"

The refined scholar's brain overloaded, and even his mind was somewhat disturbed by the fright.

When Gu Cheng looked over.

He had no intention of escaping at all, standing perfectly still, and with a tragic smile, he asked:

"Are you a human or a demon, damn it?"

"..."

The response was a Blood Fiend Slash that tore through the air.

Puff—

Demonic blood splattered!

The bodies, cut in half, fell to either side.

Then, they slowly revealed their true forms, transforming into the mangled remains of two plump pig demons, much like the fat pigs slaughtered in the village during New Year's.

This death was exactly the same as his brother's.

[Killed peak Qi Blood Realm Pig Demon, gained lifespan: 233 years]

After everything settled down.

Gu Cheng waved his hand and dispersed the blood blade in his hand, the fierce and violent aura on his body also disappearing.

He took off his beggar's clothes and put on a new set from his storage pouch.

On his stern face, a rare hint of weariness appeared.

During this period.

Gu Cheng had also killed many demons, but these two fox demons were the most unusual and the most troublesome.

These twin sisters didn't act like demons at all; instead, they were more like human cultivators, mastering a bunch of flashy abilities.

If it weren't for the white-clothed fox demon being tricked by that lightning talisman.

Gu Cheng would have probably had to put in more effort to win in the end.

"But that talisman she used was really strange..."

"Why is the wind and thunder intent contained within it so similar to the Wind Thunder Blade Technique?"

Ever since he had leveled up the Wind Thunder Blade Technique to the Extreme Intent Realm.

Gu Cheng had vaguely felt that this blade technique was less of a martial skill and more of a spell.

This time, from the fox demon's mouth, this point was further confirmed.

"Thunder Law? Xu Family?"

"Judging by the fox demon's reaction at the time, does her fox demon family have a grudge against Xu Nianxue's family?"

Gu Cheng pondered for a moment and decided to go back and consult Miss Xu.

After killing monsters, looting is key.

Gu Cheng thoroughly cleaned up the battlefield.

He dug out a Demon Core from each of the two fox demons and confiscated their storage pouches.

These two storage artifacts were not large in capacity, not even a fifth of the one Xu Nianxue casually gave him.

However, they contained quite a lot of items.

Besides some miscellaneous junk, the most valuable items were the remaining talismans from the white-clothed fox demon and various pills for healing and recovery.

Even more surprisingly.

Gu Cheng also found two Star Cloud Flowers in the yellow-clothed fox demon's storage pouch. It seemed this vixen wasn't very bright.

In addition, he also confiscated the yellow-clothed fox demon's magic sword.

This magic sword was slender and elegant, its blade like a pool of autumn water, emitting a soft glow, clearly not an ordinary item.

Gu Cheng injected his divine sense into it, and sharp sword light immediately condensed on the blade, ready to strike, which made the young man marvel.

"As expected of demons from the inner regions of Yun Province, they have so many good things."

"Compared to that country bumpkin pig, it didn't even drop a Demon Core. How pathetic..."

Gu Cheng's face was filled with disgust, and his desire to leave the small place of Changle County grew even stronger.

Afterward, he stuffed all the spoils of war into his storage pouch and hastily left the scene of the crime.

A gust of noisy autumn wind swept through.

The scattered corpses all over the ground, the freely flowing blood, and the building wreckage ignited by fireballs, sending up thick smoke.

All of it attested to the fact that a fierce battle had taken place here.

About an hour passed.

A group of people, guided by the smoke, cautiously arrived at the scene.

The person at the front wore a silver-white official uniform, was tall, and had a cold, beautiful appearance.

It was none other than Lin Qingyan.

Since the Wolf Demons had stopped causing trouble recently.

Centurion Lin's patrol team had directly extended their range of activity to the vicinity of Black Wind Mountain.

However, she never expected.

That at the foot of Black Wind Mountain, such a courtyard was hidden.

Lin Qingyan led a few subordinates, stepped over the collapsed courtyard wall, and entered the yard.

Upon entering, they immediately saw the incredibly tragically dead demon corpses.

"This... is this a Fox Demon?"

"Looking at the size of these two Fox Demons, their cultivation is definitely beyond the ordinary Mortal Breaking Realm!"

"Besides the Demon Kings of those two great demon races, how could there be such powerful demons on Black Wind Mountain?"

Several officers from the Demon Suppression Bureau were immediately greatly alarmed.

But when they thought that these two Fox Demons were completely dead, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I say... could this be the work of that 'Demon Hunter' from last time?"

A Demon Suppression Bureau officer asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the other companions were slightly stunned.

Looking at the tragically familiar way these two Fox Demons had died, they silently swallowed their saliva and nodded in unison.

Those who could follow Lin Qingyan out to suppress demons were all elites with outstanding strength and courage in the yamen.

But after sensing the residual Blood Fiend Blade Qi on the Fox Demon corpses, this group of elites still felt a deep-seated fear!

If the residual power was already this great, one could imagine how terrifying the blade technique they used was!

"It's only been a few days, why does that mysterious Demon Hunter seem to have become even more brutal and ferocious?"

Two female deputy officers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and apprehension.

Previously, they had been entrusted by their superior to investigate the Demon Hunter's information, but they had not found any useful information.

The only person who had contact with the other party, Steward Chen, also remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal any information, appearing to be very secretive about this person's identity.

It now seemed.

Could this benefactor who avenged Centurion Lin's father be a master from a demonic sect who had turned over a new leaf?

In order to atone for the sins committed in his early life in the demonic sect.

Was he choosing to complete his self-redemption through such a method of slaying demons and eliminating evil?

"..."

Lin Qingyan's brows were tightly furrowed. She stared at the two Fox Demon corpses, her delicate face covered in frost, and her expression as deep and solemn as still water.

After a moment of silence, she finally ordered her subordinates in a serious tone:

"Send back the heads of these two Fox Demons and report to Lord Thousand Commander!"

"Yes!"

All the Demon Suppression Bureau officers responded in unison and quickly took action.

They placed the two Fox Demon heads on the accompanying cart and departed grandly.

After this group of people had gone far away and completely disappeared from sight.

Two mysterious figures in black robes then emerged from the bushes in the nearby woods.

They looked around, their gazes first towards the direction Lin Qingyan and the others had left.

Then they gazed at the permeated stronghold that had already turned into ruins.

Their dark eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

The two of them were entrusted by their family head to come and inform the two Fox Demon adults that their younger brother had fallen victim to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived at this place.

He watched as the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau dragged the heads of the two Fox Demon Lords away.

This was good. No need to send a message.

The three siblings were reunited below!

"Was the leader of that team just now Centurion Lin? She actually killed those two Fox Demon Lords?"

"Damn it! I told the master long ago that Lin Qingyan was a menace!

She's not like that old geezer Centurion Zhao, who knows how to protect himself. Keeping her around will definitely cause trouble!"

"There's no other way... Isn't the second young master always admired her?

And the master also said that there was something strange about that woman, even he couldn't see through her depths. Making a rash move would only alert her."

"What do we do now? Both Fox Demon Lords are dead, who will maintain the formation then?"

"Sigh, hurry back and report truthfully. The plan has reached its most crucial moment, we absolutely cannot delay the master's important affairs!"

The two figures in black whispered to each other.

Then, their figures flickered, disappearing from their original positions like ghosts, as if they had never appeared.
