At this moment, Elder Liu Mu and Liu Ruyan had already confronted the members of the Demon Sect.

"Rumble!"

"Bang, bang..."

Essence of various colors streaked through the air, and the sound of explosions was incessant.

Chen Changqing held his breath and focused his mind, preparing to use his Sword Control Technique to fight his way out.

But just then, strange black mists suddenly surged in from all sides.

As the black mist dissipated, several figures were revealed.

A dark, dense mass of them—there were dozens!

Clearly, there were more Demon Sect members in Green Creek Village than the ones they had seen earlier.

Upon seeing Elder Liu Mu and the others, the leader of the Demon Sect let out a cold snort and said with a sinister sneer:

"Kill all these righteous hypocrites for me!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Following his command, dozens of figures flew straight out.

In an instant, demonic energy surged, and the sounds of slaughter shook the heavens!

Seeing this, Chen Changqing's eyes narrowed.

The Shadow-Bearing Sword emitted a series of vibrations.

It looks like a bloody battle today!

He muttered to himself, then without further thought, he transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for a Demon Sect cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Chen Changqing charging at him, the demon cultivator grinned hideously and slashed out a crimson blade aura with his blood-stained saber:

"A mere fifth level of Qi Refining, you're courting death!"

"Clang!"

Chen Changqing's expression remained calm as he saw this. With a thought, he sent the Shadow-Bearing Sword to meet the attack head-on.

"Bang!"

Blade and sword collided, sending sparks flying everywhere!

The next moment, Chen Changqing flashed, pushing his Sword Control Technique to the limit as the Shadow-Bearing Sword flew beneath his feet.

Once steady, he pressed two fingers together and shouted softly:

"Go!"

Following this, the Shadow-Bearing Sword darted out, its light weaving like a dragon, forcing the demon cultivator to retreat repeatedly.

"This?"

"A kid at the fifth level of Qi Refining is actually forcing me into a position where I can only parry?"

While defending, the demon cultivator was shocked to his core.

He had originally thought Chen Changqing was a soft target.

With his own eighth-level Qi Refining cultivation, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?

Who would have thought that upon clashing with Chen Changqing, he would discover that Chen Changqing was far from as weak as he had imagined.

Just as the demon cultivator was stunned, Chen Changqing seized the opportunity and caught a flaw in his defense.

With a flash, he was already right in front of the demon cultivator.

"Thunder Fist!"

The next moment, Chen Changqing swung his fist down.

"Boom!"

Lightning exploded from his right fist, powerful as a surging flood!

The demon cultivator's pupils dilated in terror.

Before he could react, Chen Changqing's fist had already slammed into his chest.

"Pfft!"

The demon cultivator spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Looking down, he saw that his chest had been pierced through by Chen Changqing's punch, and blood was gushing out.

"No..."

The demon cultivator's eyes were filled with horror, but before he could finish his sentence, he collapsed into a pool of blood, his life extinguished.

Chen Changqing looked at the fallen corpse, a trace of discomfort rising in his heart.

After all, this was his first time killing someone.

"These people from the Demon Sect treat human lives like blades of grass."

"Even if they die, it is only what they deserve."

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Changqing quickly suppressed the slight sense of discomfort in his heart.

Beyond that, he also knew that in this world, the weak were prey to the strong.

If he did not kill, others would come to kill him.

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in his thoughts, a shout suddenly came from not far away:

"Junior Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

"In a life-or-death battle, how can you be distracted?"

Liu Ruyan's cold voice reached him.

Hearing this, Chen Changqing quickly snapped back to reality and said with slight embarrassment:

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Liu!"

Liu Ruyan cast a cold glance at Chen Changqing, said nothing more, and continued to fly her sword toward the demon cultivators.

Chen Changqing collected his thoughts, preparing to continue the fight.

At that moment, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind:

[Ding!]

[Killed a living being, gained +1 AFK point.]

"AFK points?"

Chen Changqing was stunned, caught off guard by the sudden system prompt.

Soon, the system's explanation followed:

[AFK points can be used to shorten AFK time.]

"It can do that?"

Chen Changqing's eyes lit up!

AFK cultivation was already a cheat in itself, but now it could even be accelerated?

"These demon cultivators... they're practically experience babies!"

In an instant, the way Chen Changqing looked at the surrounding demon cultivators changed completely.

He hadn't expected that killing living beings could grant these so-called AFK points.

And these AFK points could actually shorten his AFK time.

"Don't blame me for this!"

Regaining his focus, Chen Changqing's eyes surged with battle intent, and as he looked at the demon cultivators around him, his killing intent soared!

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, he did not hesitate, flying his sword out immediately as his figure moved like lightning.

Wherever the Shadow-Bearing Sword passed, demon cultivators fell to the ground one after another.

Some had their throats slit by a single strike!

Others had their heads crushed by a single punch!

His strikes were ruthless, clean, and decisive, without a hint of hesitation!

In a short time, several members of the Demon Sect had died miserably at Chen Changqing's hands.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan and the others, who were engaged with other demon cultivators, were all shocked by the sight.

"This?"

"What is going on with this guy Chen Changqing?"

"His strikes are truly fast, accurate, and ruthless!"

"Why do I feel like Junior Brother Chen is even more like a demon than these people from the Demon Sect?"

"..."

At the same time, upon seeing Chen Changqing's slaughter, the demon cultivators actually retreated in terror, intimidated by his momentum.

"Hmm?"

Liu Ruyan noticed this, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as she felt a secret shock in her heart:

"Such decisive killing... is he really just an outer sect disciple?"

"With the strength of the fifth level of Qi Refining, he can easily slaughter demon cultivators at the seventh or eighth level?"

The more she thought about it, the more shocked Liu Ruyan became, finding Chen Changqing increasingly unfathomable.

"Rumble!"

Just as Liu Ruyan and the others were dealing with the Qi Refining stage Demon Sect disciples.

Elder Liu Mu was locked in a standoff with a Golden Core demonic cultivator.

The moment this Golden Core demonic cultivator appeared, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and thunder roared!

Elder Liu Mu stood suspended in mid-air, his body wreathed in lightning, appearing like a god of thunder descended upon the world.

Amidst the standoff, the Golden Core demonic cultivator in blood-red robes let out a cackling laugh:

"You Mount Shu Taoist, today I shall let you taste my power!"

Hearing this, Elder Liu Mu snorted coldly:

"Hmph!"

"Audacious Demon Sect, daring to slaughter mortals at will—you are simply courting death!"

With a furious shout, Elder Liu Mu swiftly formed hand seals, and with a point of his finger, the winds rose and clouds surged.

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, fall!"

"Crack!"

In an instant, amidst the swirling clouds high above the nine heavens, a bolt of thunder struck straight down.

Seeing this, the Golden Core demonic cultivator sneered coldly, the blood-sha energy around his body transforming into a giant palm to meet the lightning head-on!

"Boom!!"

In less than a heartbeat, the divine thunder struck that giant blood-sha palm.

A deafening roar echoed through the air.

Immediately after, air waves churned in mid-air, and the earth cracked open!

On the other side, Chen Changqing and the others had already finished off the Qi Refining stage demonic cultivators and turned their attention toward Elder Liu Mu.

They arrived just in time to witness the clash between Elder Liu Mu and the Golden Core demonic cultivator.

Two Golden Core powerhouses were locked in combat!

The very heavens changed color because of it!
