After killing Liao Yunfang, Chen Changming stood silently on the Spirit Boat, continuously releasing his Divine Sense to scan the surrounding dense undergrowth as much as possible, trying to find any suspicious people.
After searching for a while, he found nothing.
Chen Changming was still worried. Although he had acted extremely quickly and discreetly, what if some escaped and were hiding in the shadows and saw what was happening?
He is always cautious in his actions, so he will not easily overlook any possibility of giving himself away.
Chen Changming released the Spirit-Devouring Insect.
Now that the Spirit-Devouring Insect has become Level 5 Demonic Beast, its growth rate has slowed down, but after more than ten years, it is still much stronger than before.
The Spirit-Devouring Insect are fast and can help him thoroughly explore the surroundings, conducting a comprehensive search.
Buzz!
The Soul- Spirit-Devouring Insect Spirit-Devouring Insect flew out at an incredible speed, carefully exploring the valley inside and out. After a short while, it returned and told him through telepathy that there were no human cultivators in the area.
Chen Changming was finally relieved.
He steered the Spirit Boat, slowly flying into the valley.
There were also several Demon Beast among them who witnessed him killing someone, so they couldn't let him go.
The Geng-Gold Sword out, easily killing several Level 2 Demonic Beast.
After placing the Demon Beast's corpse in a special Storage Bag, Chen Changming continued to urge the Spirit Boat forward.
During the flight, he took the two corpses out of his Storage Bag and threw them directly into his Beast Taming Bracelet, allowing the Demon Spirit Vine to devour the corpses of the two Evil Cultivator first.
The deadline for killing the Demon Beast was one month, and Chen Changming only took less than three days to kill enough Level 2 Demonic Beast.
The Geng-Gold Sword is indestructible. Under the control of Divine Sense, it is as fast as lightning. Level 2 Demonic Beast have a hard time dodging it. Once hit by the sword, they will be seriously injured even if they don't die.
Just then, Liao Yunfang ran out of Spirit Stone in the Spirit Boat, and Chen Changming was reluctant to use Spirit Stone to propel the Spirit Boat forward, so he put the Spirit Boat away and rode on his sword.
Boom!
In the distance, behind a towering mountain, came the sounds of fierce battle, like a raging storm crashing against Chen Changming's eardrums. His expression shifted slightly, like a hunting dog that had caught the scent of its prey, and he quietly steered his Flying Sword toward the direction of the battle.
Behind the mountains, what was once a vast forest has been reduced to a scene of devastation.
Several cultivators were surrounded and attacked by a pack of crazed Iron-Armored Wolf. They were in dire straits, attacked from all sides. These Iron-Armored Wolf were huge, their bodies covered in hard armor, and their fangs gleamed coldly, as if they wanted to tear the cultivators apart.
Among this pack of Iron-Armored Wolf, there were not only Level 3 Iron-Armored Wolf, but also a much larger Level 3 Mid-Tier Demonic Beast — the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle. This Iron-Backed Azure Eagle had a wingspan of tens of meters, its feathers were as hard as steel, and its claws were extremely sharp. It circled in the air, occasionally swooping down to attack the cultivators.
The cultivators were surrounded, and they used their Law Treasure and various Law Technique to fight fiercely against the Demon Beast.
In this jungle, the sounds of battle echoed through the sky.
The roars of the Iron-Armored Wolf, the cries of the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle, and the battle cries of the cultivators mingled together, creating a scene resembling a nightmare.
There were eight people in total. Only the leader, a man at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, was in slightly better condition. The rest of them were injured, their wounds blackened, and Demonic Qi was constantly seeping into them.
Chen Changming could tell that these people were from a certain branch of the Black Tortoise Division, and the man at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment had the highest cultivation level, so he should be the Incense Master without a doubt.
Although the Incense Master had the ability to break through, he did not leave in order to take care of his subordinates. He kept fighting the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle with his sword while also guarding against the sneak attacks of the Level 3 Iron-Armored Wolf.
Tear it apart!
After dodging the Iron-Armored Wolf's sneak attack, the Azure Eagle's sharp claws shot out like lightning, tearing through the layer of defensive golden light surrounding the Incense Master, and then tearing through the inner layer of clear light formed by the Clear Light Art, leaving a bloody mark on his back.
The Demonic Qi seized the opportunity to enter.
The Incense Master trembled, turned around abruptly, and slashed at the Azure Eagle's claws with his sword.
Bang!
With a piece of its claw severed, the Azure Eagle cried out in pain and suddenly flapped its wings, taking flight. A gust of wind blew up, making the group of people lose their footing.
At that moment, several Level 3 Iron-Armored Wolf pounced and instantly bit off the necks of the two men.
The tide of battle has turned!
Two Iron-Armored Wolf and Iron-Backed Azure Eagle attacked the Incense Master together, while the remaining Iron-Armored Wolf attacked the others. With everyone injured and invaded by Demonic Qi, their combat power was greatly reduced, and they soon could not hold on.
The remaining few were killed by the Demon Beast, and even the last Incense Master hall did not escape death, being devoured by the Iron-Armored Wolf and the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the entire squad was wiped out.
This means that the Demon-Slaying Alliance Division of the Black Tortoise Division Alliance has lost another member of Xiang's forces.
Chen Changming watched the whole process coldly without offering any assistance.
He didn't want to reveal his cultivation level.
In the current chaotic state of the Chu Kingdom, he must conceal his strength in order to survive. Once his strength is exposed, he will naturally be pushed to more dangerous areas to carry out missions to slay Demon Beast.
Without a buffer of strength, if he went all out in every battle, he probably wouldn't live long and would die during one of his missions to slay Demon Beast.
"The complete demise of this entire incense stick group is likely not an isolated incident in the Demon-Slaying Alliance's operations against Demon Beast..."
Chen Changming's gaze deepened.
The demonized Demon Beast were too powerful and fearless, so it was normal for Foundation Establishment cultivators to perish.
Therefore, Liao Yunfang's death will not attract much attention.
He just needs to come up with a plausible reason.
The Iron-Backed Azure Eagle soared into the air, its sharp eyes immediately spotting the humans hidden in the mountaintop jungle.
It let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and brought down its pair of iron claws from mid-air.
Rumble!
A pack of Iron-Armored Wolf also received the signal and frantically rushed towards the mountaintop.
"Court death!"
Chen Changming's gaze turned cold, and a golden sword light shot out from between his eyebrows.
The sword light was as fast as lightning, too fast for anyone to react.
At the same time, the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle noticed the approaching danger and desperately flapped its wings, trying to escape. However, the Geng-Gold Sword was far faster than it and severed its neck in an instant.
The Iron-Backed Azure Eagle's head slid down in mid-air, its eyes wide open, staring at the human cultivators below, dying with unresolved grievances.
It never expected this person to be so strong.
Despite having a cultivation level significantly lower than that of the human at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, his Flying Sword was incredibly sharp, not only moving with lightning speed but also possessing an exceptionally razor-sharp blade.
Its prized iron feathers were as vulnerable as tofu before this Flying Sword.
Chen Changming flew over and put the Iron-Backed Azure Eagle into his Beast Taming Bracelet.
At this moment, more than twenty Iron-Armored Wolf also surged in.
Four or five level-three, low-level Iron-Armored Wolf fiercely took to the air and pounced in a pincer movement.
Chen Changming was already very experienced in fighting the Iron-Armored Wolf. He dodged while controlling his Flying Sword to attack, and at the same time, he also launched thick beams of light to hinder the Iron-Armored Wolf.
In a short while, the Iron-Armored Wolf were decapitated and obediently entered the Storage Bag.
Most of the Iron-Armored Wolf on the ground were Level 2 Demonic Beast, making it easier for Chen Changming to kill them. It didn't take him long to slaughter them all.
After killing all the Demon Beast.
Chen Changming silently determined the direction and then flew towards the outer perimeter.
He had slain enough Demon Beast; now it was time to return and report.
After flying out of the Demonic Qi Region, Chen Changming saw that the Qi Refining cultivators on the outer perimeter were making continuous efforts to use the Four Symbols Array to eliminate a lot of Demonic Qi and had successfully advanced several thousand meters.
Chen Changming flew all the way back to Mo'ya City and entered the courtyard of the Ninth Incense Shop.
at this time.
Not only was the courtyard deserted, but the entire Mo'ya City was also quiet and deserted, like a ghost town.
The city streets were deserted, save for a gentle rustling breeze. The distant city walls stood tall and sturdy, but were devoid of their usual hustle and bustle. The entire city was immersed in an atmosphere of silence, which felt somewhat unusual.
