If Heaven Suppresses Me, I'll Shatter Heaven; If Earth Blocks Me, I'll Destroy Earth!

Under the leadership of the three Demons from Black Mountain, over two hundred Demons and Devils arrived in a mighty procession.

Some carried human remains, others had corpses slung over their shoulders, and some held two heads in their hands. They ate as they walked, their bodies stained with the blood of the common folk of Ping'an County.

"They came from Black Mountain, passing through Black Stone Town, Maple Leaf Town, and Fishing Village Town. I estimate the common folk in those three towns..."

Huang Chengyue stared at the scene before him, his words trailing off, unable to continue.

"We absolutely cannot let them enter Ping'an County city. We will go out to meet them in battle!"

Chen Fan said in a deep voice.

"Alright!"

Lu Xuenning replied in a deep voice.

"Archers, suppress the Demons and Devils! Let's go!"

Chen Fan, with a blade in hand, descended the city wall, directly facing the vast horde of Demons from Black Mountain.

In his eyes, these were not just man-eating Demons and Devils, but also a massive source of cultivation resources. If he could kill them all, his own Demons and Devils lifespan would likely exceed ten thousand years!

"Who goes there?"

The Tiger DemonMountain Lord looked at Chen Fan and boomed.

"Jinyiwei Chen Fan."

Chen Fan replied calmly, then, wielding the Meteorite Iron Blade, unleashed the Grand Completion level Draw Sword Slash>, cleaving towards the three Demons from Black Mountain!

Wolf DemonXiaoyue, holding a massive wolf-tooth club, channeled his Demon power and smashed it directly out!

Clang!

The Meteorite Iron Blade and the wolf-tooth club collided fiercely, sparks flying and emitting a sound like metal striking stone.

A tremendous force surged towards Chen Fan, forcing him to stumble back three steps. The Wolf DemonXiaoyue was also pushed back three steps!

"This young man has no martial ethics! He attacked before we could even introduce ourselves. How uncivilized!"

The Tiger DemonMountain Lord looked at Chen Fan, shaking its head slightly.

In its opinion, the two sides should have introduced themselves, including their names, lineages, weapons, cultivation techniques, and so on, before exchanging taunts and then entering combat.

It never expected this young man to be so hasty!

"Big brother, this fellow has something strange about him. He clearly isn't circulating true qi internally, yet he could fight Second Brother to a draw!"

The vertical eye between Ape DemonThree Eyes's brows emitted a dark glow as it stared intently at Chen Fan, speaking in a deep voice.

One had to remember that the physique of humans was inferior to that of the Demon Race, and the three of them were outstanding among the Demon Race, far stronger than ordinary Demon Race in both race and bloodline.

Yet, a martial artist who hadn't even reached the Spirit Aperture Realm could fight evenly with Wolf DemonXiaoyue, who was in the Spirit Aperture Realm. This was truly abnormal!

"Perhaps he's a body-tempering martial artist!"

"To be able to fight Xiaoyue to a draw, it's no wonder MonsterCao De died by his hand."

"However, now that the three of us brothers are here, even a body-tempering martial artist can be torn to shreds. Body-tempering martial artists have strong physiques, so they should be quite chewy."

The Tiger DemonMountain Lord said coldly, looking at Chen Fan as if he were prey ready to be hunted.

"Three great Demons at the Spirit Aperture Realm level!"

Chen Fan subconsciously glanced back at Lu Xuenning, feeling that she had utterly misled him.

Didn't she say that these wild great Demons almost never reached the Spirit Aperture Realm?

Chen Fan had even prepared himself mentally, thinking perhaps one of the three Demons from Black Mountain might have reached the Spirit Aperture Realm. But here all three of them had!

Chen Fan felt the dense Demon qi within them, which didn't even seem like the result of accidentally consuming a powerful elixir or stumbling into opening an acupoint through unorthodox means!

"How is this possible? Three wild Spirit Aperture Realm great Demons?"

Lu Xuenning's eyes widened upon seeing the three Demons from Black Mountain, and a sense of utter despair washed over her.

This was her first mission, and she was about to die before even getting started!

Chen Fan's gaze remained calm. With a thought, his status panel popped up:

[Name: Chen Fan]
[Realm: Spirit Concealment Realm (Limit)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Body Tempering Fist (Completion), Draw Sword Slash (Completion), Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist (Completion), Blood Sha Skill (Not Started)]
[Current Remaining Lifespan: 100 years]
[Current Demons and Devils Lifespan: 3885 years]

He directly poured his Demons and Devils lifespan into Draw Sword Slash. Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist was a Spirit Concealment Realm technique, pushing it to the Spirit Concealment Realm limit. Even if he used Demons and Devils lifespan to deduce an even more powerful Spirit Concealment Realm technique than Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist, it wouldn't significantly increase his strength.

As for elevating Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist to the Spirit Aperture Realm level, it was virtually impossible. Deduction wasn't done out of thin air; otherwise, wouldn't any common cultivation technique in the world be deducible to a divine level if he had enough Demons and Devils lifespan?

That was clearly impossible, as even the cleverest cook cannot cook without rice!

He still had a Blood Sha Skill at the Spirit Aperture Realm level, but he didn't want to rely on Blood Sha Skill to break through to the Spirit Aperture Realm unless it was a life-or-death situation. After all, as Lu Xuenning had said, it was a Devil technique strictly forbidden by Great Zhou, and it had significant side effects.

Therefore, the only way for him to further increase his strength now was through Draw Sword Slash. He intended to deduce Draw Sword Slash to a higher level, increasing its power to kill the three Demons from Black Mountain in one fell swoop!

[Year 1, you continue to practice the martial skill Draw Sword Slash, which has already reached perfection. You feel this martial skill still has great room for improvement.]

[Year 10, you have drawn your sword countless times. Each slash carries a terrifying sword intent. Congratulations, your swordsmanship has become increasingly refined, and you have successfully mastered sword intent. Sword Intent: Beginner!]

[Year 50, your Draw Sword Slash has been cultivated to the point of divine mastery. Your sword intent has become increasingly terrifying. Each slash you unleash is awe-inspiring. Congratulations, Sword Intent: Minor Accomplishment!]

[Year 100, your Draw Sword Slash has reached a realm unprecedented and unparalleled. It has even transcended the martial skill itself. Your comprehension of sword intent has deepened further. You feel that the breakthrough in sword intent is a crucial reason for enhancing your own strength and allowing Draw Sword Slash to undergo a transformation!]

[Year 200, your comprehension of sword intent has finally reached Great Accomplishment. Your swordsmanship has become increasingly refined!]

[Year 300, your comprehension of sword intent has reached its limit. The martial skill Draw Sword Slash, which you have diligently cultivated for hundreds of years, has finally undergone a transformation. With perfect-level sword intent at your command, you feel as though you can cleave heaven and earth with a single strike. There is nothing in this world you cannot cut down.]

[Congratulations on comprehending the martial skill Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut! If heaven presses down on me, I will shatter heaven; if earth blocks me, I will annihilate earth. Between heaven and earth, there is but one blade!]

[Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut (Beginner)]

Chen Fan's eyes lit up. He had finally deduced a martial skill that transcended Draw Sword Slash. If Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut is cultivated to its extreme, one can comprehend sword intent, granting the practitioner the power to turn decay into magic!

He continued to pour the lifespan of Demons and Devils into Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut:

[Year 1, due to your already comprehended perfect sword intent, your comprehension ability for swordsmanship has been enhanced. Thus, you quickly reached the beginner level for Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut.]

[Year 3, you effortlessly cultivated Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut to Minor Accomplishment. Your swordsmanship has become even more powerful.]

[Year 5, you easily cultivated Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut to Great Accomplishment. With a single slash, you can sever rivers and shatter mountains, proving invincible!]

[Year 10, you settled your mind and spent a short amount of time, ultimately cultivating Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut to the Great Perfection realm. Your understanding of sword intent has deepened further, even touching the threshold of sword will. However, due to limited comprehension and the fact that Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut has not yet delved into such a realm, you have not comprehended sword will!]

[Heaven and Earth One-Blade Cut (Perfection)]
