Slaying the Great Demon Tushan

"That's actually pretty good!"

Chen Guan smiled as he looked at his metallic-colored body.

He could feel the power inside him, ready to burst forth.

"I'll kill you! I'll drain the power of the Demon King Pill from your body!"

The Great Demon Tushan was furious.

He had schemed for so long just to obtain the Demon King Pill.

But Chen Guan had beaten him to it, and he simply couldn't accept the outcome.

"Shadow Claw!"

He roared and charged at Chen Guan, swinging his enormous right claw.

Watching his attack, Chen Guan only smiled, standing motionless without dodging.

The claw slammed into him, yet didn't leave so much as a scratch.

It felt as though he'd just been brushed by a feather.

The Vajra Body's defensive power really was extraordinary.

"Now it's my turn!"

Chen Guan sneered and walked toward the Great Demon Tushan.

Using Exquisite Leg, he leaped into the air and smashed a fist into the Great Demon Tushan's face.

The Great Demon Tushan's second form had gained more than just strength.

His defensive ability was also far greater than before.

Even so, Chen Guan's punch sent him flying.

He crashed to the ground like a kite with its strings cut.

His enormous body slammed into the earth, leaving a huge crater.

"This... is this the power of the Demon King Pill?"

Mu Yuan and the others stared at the scene in disbelief.

Chen Guan wasn't about to give the Great Demon Tushan another chance to fight back.

He dashed forward and planted a foot on the Great Demon Tushan.

"Kid, I'm going to kill you! Dark Sandstorm!"

The Great Demon Tushan continued to roar arrogantly.

The surrounding sand and wind swept around Chen Guan. An ordinary person would have been torn to shreds by the storm long ago.

But the sand battered Chen Guan with a clattering sound.

It was as if it were striking some kind of metal.

"Your attacks are useless against me now!"

Chen Guan sneered at him.

Then his fist slammed into the Great Demon Tushan's face once again.

With the Vajra Body, Chen Guan's strength had long since surpassed four thousand catties.

Such tremendous force—

Bam!

The Great Demon Tushan's head sank deep into the ground, and he couldn't even scream.

The demons surrounding them trembled at the sight.

Seeing this, Mu Yuan smiled. "Brothers, our chance has come! Kill these demons!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he led the Demon Suppressing Division's men into battle.

Liu Tai charged forward with them, unwilling to be outdone.

Before long, the cave rang with the demons' screams.

Chen Guan had thought that would be enough to finish off the Great Demon Tushan for good.

But the Great Demon Tushan began to struggle violently, and his tremendous strength sent Chen Guan flying in an instant.

"Kid! You're the first person ever to make me look this pathetic. Today, I'll kill you once and for all!"

The Great Demon Tushan was now utterly beside himself with rage.

A mass of black demonic energy gathered in the air and crashed down toward Chen Guan.

Facing this attack,

Chen Guan raised both hands and caught the black demonic energy, stopping it from advancing another inch.

Then he roared and hurled the energy back at the Great Demon Tushan.

"I told you, your attacks are useless against me now! Wild Goose Fist!"

Chen Guan's feet moved with Exquisite Leg.

Extreme Realm Power gathered beneath his feet, letting him unleash his speed to the utmost.

He reached the Great Demon Tushan and drove his fist into the spot where his heart was.

"Have you forgotten that I can move my heart to a different place?"

The Great Demon Tushan looked down at Chen Guan, disdain filling his blood-red eyes.

But then a suffocating sensation flooded his mind.

He could clearly feel that Chen Guan's punch had completely shattered his heart.

"You can move your heart, sure. But this punch has enough force to shatter all your internal organs. No matter where you move your heart, you won't withstand this attack!"

Chen Guan landed on the ground and looked at him with a smile.

The Great Demon Tushan could hardly believe his eyes. He dropped onto his backside.

With his heart shattered, he couldn't even manage to say a complete sentence.

His once pitch-black face turned deathly pale, and he collapsed to the ground.

His swollen body returned to normal, and he died for good.

[Killed a ninth-layer Blood Forging Realm demon. Reward: Demon Lifespan—6,000 years]

[Host completed system mission. Blood Forging Sword advanced to a mid-grade treasure artifact; its power increased by three tiers]

The system's notification sounded in Chen Guan's mind.

He perked up at once.

Killing the Great Demon Tushan had earned him a staggering six thousand years of Demon Lifespan.

Seeing the Great Demon Tushan slain, the surrounding demons fell into complete disarray.

They all tried to turn and flee the cave.

"Men, block the cave entrance! Don't let a single demon escape! Damn it, it's finally our turn!"

Seeing this, Liu Tai immediately ordered the White Tiger Stockade's men to block the cave entrance.

Chen Guan didn't waste words either. He charged straight into the demon horde.

But by now, his Vajra Body had already faded.

Maintaining the Vajra Body required his internal energy, and he had run out.

"Dragon Elephant Swordplay!"

Holding the Blood Forging Sword, Chen Guan began slaughtering demons in the horde.

The Blood Forging Sword's crimson glow had grown even more intense.

Having reached the level of a mid-grade treasure artifact, it was more than the demons here could withstand.

In less than an hour,

they had slaughtered every demon around them. Not a single one escaped the cave.

[Demons of all ranks killed: 120. Total lifespan reward: 3,200 years]

The system notification sounded, and Chen Guan immediately opened the System Panel.

[Host: Chen Guan]

[Lifespan: 6 years]

[Demon Lifespan: 9,370 years]

[Martial Art Wild Goose Fist (Mystic Grade Low Rank). Lifespan required to advance to the next realm: 0/800 years]

[Martial Art Exquisite Leg (Mortal Grade High Rank). Lifespan required to advance to the next realm: 0/450 years]

[Martial Art Blazing Flame Sword (Mystic Grade Low Rank). Lifespan required to advance to the next realm: 0/100 years]

[Method Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art (Mystic Grade Low Rank). Current progress: 6/9. Lifespan required to advance to the next realm: 6,400 years]

Looking at the notification on the System Panel,

Chen Guan was incredibly excited.

After all, he had only just broken through to the sixth layer of the Blood Forging Realm, and now the Demon Lifespan he'd gained by killing the Great Demon Tushan would let him advance again.

Once they had dealt with the surrounding demons, everyone gasped for breath.

But they were overjoyed that the danger had passed. At least they wouldn't have to live on edge here anymore.

"Not bad. It's quite lively here! Why don't I join in too? And my thanks to the fine officers of the Demon Suppressing Division for taking care of these demons!"

As the voice rang out, Sun Yuan walked into the cave.
