Body Tempering Realm (Jade Marrow)

In their eyes, Chen Bin, merely in the Blood Change realm, was certainly doomed.

However, as Chen Bin arrived before them, his footsteps paused.

Their vision blurred, their eyes dazzled.

With a 'clang,' the pitch-black Demon Suppression Blade, like a black lightning bolt, instantly merged into the darkness.

By the time they reacted, their heads had already flown into the sky.

Their vision soared high, and they not only saw their own headless bodies but also saw Chen Bin closing in on Tiger Three.

Then the world darkened, followed by a 'thump' – the sound of heads hitting the ground.

Chen Bin's gaze sharpened. His advancing blade met a muscular arm, and Tiger Three had actually grabbed his blade.

His charged attack, though it had severed Tian Jie's head, had also cost him the initiative in killing the enemy.

The entire process was lightning-fast; from the blade light severing Tian Jie's neck to finally thrusting towards Tiger Three's body, his blade was already nearing its limit.

Not only that, but this strike took too long, giving the Tiger Demon time to react. Thus, a massive tiger roar, like rolling thunder, spread throughout the mountains and wilderness.

Tiger Three cried out in pain, roaring in a low voice filled with fury, "Kill them."

The six Tiger Demons behind him charged forward.

As he spoke, his other arm swung out in a punch, accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air. The fist wind seemed capable of ripping the air apart.

Chen Bin also threw out a punch, and the two met fist to fist.

Instantly, Chen Bin's arm bulged with veins, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball, smashing and tumbling, flattening countless low bushes along the way.

The bushes creaked under the pressure, their branches and leaves scattering.

At the same time, screams erupted everywhere.

Chen Bin's blade had not killed everyone.

It had only killed Tian Jie and two people nearby; four others remained alive.

Now they were torn to shreds by the enraged Tiger Demons. After a final scream, their lives were extinguished, and a moment of silence returned to the forest, though a thick scent of blood permeated the quiet.

"Is my perfected blade technique still not enough?" Chen Bin got up, leaning on his blade, his left hand trembling and almost numb.

He recalled a senior's maxim from the Demon Suppression Division: In the same realm, humans cannot defeat demons.

That Tiger Demon, its body ten feet tall, its fists thicker than his waist.

How could he possibly win.

Since I can't defeat them at the same level, then a higher level.

"What about the Supreme Demon Suppression Blade Technique?"

Max it out for me!

Chen Bin directly poured one hundred points of merit into the Demon Suppression Blade Technique.

[You have consumed 100 points of merit, and your comprehension of Demon Suppression Blade Technique has been upgraded.]

[Demon Suppression Blade Technique has returned to simplicity in your deduction, integrated into daily life.]

[Remaining Merit: 541]

[Martial Arts]: Demon Suppression Blade Technique (Supreme)

This is the feeling of 'Supreme'.

Novice, Proficient, Mastered, Perfected, Supreme.

The highest of the five martial arts realms, Supreme.

Chen Bin's right hand, which had been resting on his saber, suddenly gripped the hilt tightly.

His right hand was as steady as Mount Tai at this moment, as if he had been holding a saber for five hundred years.

The tiger demon before him exuded a chilling aura, clearly having reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

Since that's the case, I can only improve myself.

Chen Bin's gaze shifted to the [Cultivation] column.

[Consuming 100 points of merit, your physique has been amplified, and your realm has been elevated. Your cultivation has reached Jade Marrow Stage Perfected.]

[Remaining Merit: 441]

In an instant, a golden light flashed and disappeared within his body.

An invisible yet boundless power flowed with his blood, permeating every inch of his flesh, and then spreading to his limbs and bones, especially his spine, where the sensation was most intense.

His back felt slightly warm, and that warmth quickly circulated throughout his body, pushing his condition to an unprecedented height.

His left arm, which had been somewhat stiff and inconvenient to move, gradually regained its vitality under the nourishment of this power.

At this moment, he felt an endless surge of power from his limbs and bones, gushing out like a spring, ceaselessly.

The seven tiger demons also seemed to have keenly sensed Chen Bin's change.

The pupils of the tiger demons, who were slowly approaching with heavy steps while chewing on minced meat, suddenly constricted.

Tiger Three, the leader, had a hint of surprise in its eyes. It hadn't expected that its full-power punch from before wouldn't kill the person in front of it.

These corpses were all cultivators with full blood and qi, top-tier blood food.

Among them, Tian Jie had the highest cultivation, reaching the Jade Marrow Realm. Such blood food was usually reserved for his father.

"I didn't expect you to be Jade Marrow too."

Tiger Three's gaze was like a torch, fixed on the Demon Suppression Division Officer Chen Bin, who had stood up again in the distance. It casually tossed aside Tian Jie's half-severed corpse.

Then it extended a claw to wipe the bloodstains from its face, a cruel arc pulling at the corner of its mouth. "Good, I'm not full yet!"

With that, it waved its large hand and spat out a few vicious words: "Kill him first."

Tiger Three slightly bent its knees, its upper body muscles instantly tensing, like earth dragons surging madly beneath its skin, bulging high, filled with explosive power.

Immediately after, its body shot out like a cannonball, with a whistling sound, directly smashing towards where Chen Bin was standing.

At the same time, the other six tiger demons spread out in a fan shape. Their tiger fur bulged high with their muscles, like beasts poised to strike, pouncing towards Chen Bin's surroundings together.

Cutting off his retreat, surrounding and killing him.

Chen Bin quickly brought his saber in front of him. The cold blade split his gaze in two, but both gazes were simultaneously locked onto the figure of Tiger Three smashing down from the air.

He understood in his heart that this tiger demon's realm was no lower than his own.

He had to deal with the other six tiger demons first before he could concentrate his energy on dealing with the most troublesome one, Tiger Three.

Tiger Three's punch carried a momentum like a mountain collapsing and the sea roaring, as if it could split mountains. The surrounding mountain wind was torn to shreds by this punch.

The moment Tiger Three's punch was about to land on Chen Bin, Chen Bin's figure suddenly vanished from his spot.

The whistling fist wind heavily struck the ground, instantly kicking up countless rocks and stones, which scattered like bullets.

Chen Bin's figure, however, turned into an afterimage, darting towards one of the tiger demons amidst the flying debris.

The Red Name displayed above its head showed that this tiger demon had 8 points of merit.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Bin had arrived before that tiger demon like lightning.

Both sides moved at extreme speed. The perfected Demon Suppression Blade Technique was instantly unleashed, its dark blade light seeming to merge into the boundless darkness, making it difficult to detect.

The instant they passed each other, a shrill "Roar!" echoed through the forest. A huge tiger head shot into the sky, blood spraying out like a fountain.

With a "Whoosh," the fist wind swept over like a sharp blade, crushing everything in its path.

Chen Bin lightly tapped the ground with his toes, forcibly twisting his body, and simultaneously swung his saber backward.

This saber strike was as natural as taking a step while walking, incredibly smooth.

"Pfft..."

"Roar!"

The Demon Suppression Saber, flashing with red blade patterns, was incredibly sharp. It instantly tore through Tiger Three's wrist, leaving a shocking bloody gash. Tiger Three let out a shrill scream.
