Yan Chihuo smiled faintly. "Caught off guard and thrown into a panic, their strength plummeted. I was fortunate enough to kill them both."
"K-Killed?" Kuang the Old Monster suddenly felt that his brain could not keep up. One man had slain two Ascension Stage cultivators—did that not mean Yan Chihuo now possessed the strength of a peak Ascension Stage cultivator? In other words, he had already joined the very pinnacle of cultivators on the Heavenly Heart Continent.
How was that possible? Yan Chihuo had clearly been a mid-stage Spirit Cultivation Stage cultivator before. Advancing to the Ascension Stage in such a short time was already unprecedented since time immemorial—yet he was actually this formidable!
Seeing his reaction, Yan Chihuo took out a bag from his Magic Treasure pouch and overturned it onto the table. With a rolling clatter, two heads tumbled out. Kuang the Old Monster looked closely and saw that they were indeed the Netherworld Twin Fiends. He could not help sucking in a sharp breath, and the look he gave Yan Chihuo grew several degrees more respectful.
He said, "Fellow Daoist, your cultivation can truly be called earth-shaking and heaven-shattering. With the Netherworld invading, the Heavenly Heart Continent has gained another capable general. What a cause for celebration!"
Yan Chihuo modestly replied, "I have only just advanced to the Ascension Stage. On the path of cultivation ahead, I will still need guidance from experts such as Fellow Daoist Kuang."
Kuang the Old Monster shook his head. "You flatter me to death. There is no first or last on the path of cultivation; the accomplished come first. Fellow Daoist Yan, are you taking Silver Bottle Princess back to the capital? Next, you will marry Snow Fairy, and then we will be family."
Kuang the Old Monster knew that regardless
