She knew Qin An could unleash the perfected Body Infusion Realm blade techniques, but facing two enemies at the perfected Body Infusion Realm now, he would likely not survive.

However, everyone was currently entangled by tree roots and unable to provide timely support.

Tang Lingwei sighed, knowing it was a lost cause.

She had taken a liking to Qin An's talent, thinking she could strengthen the team by recruiting him, but she hadn't expected him to die before even getting started.

This time, Qin An probably wouldn't make it.

Since that was the case, she would kill the old tree first.

With this thought, Tang Lingwei turned her long saber and attacked the old tree's trunk.

Qin An witnessed all of this and felt no resentment towards Tang Lingwei's actions.

They weren't close to begin with, and the current situation was what it was.

His mind raced as Qin An used Azure Bird Leap, turning into an afterimage and retreating rapidly.

The tree roots and the old monkey's long saber fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dirt.

If that had landed on Qin An, it would have torn him to shreds.

He couldn't fight them head-on.

Both were at the perfected Body Infusion Realm, and Qin An was playing it safe.

With this in mind, Qin An bent his index finger and gave a slight hook.

"Come."

With that, Qin An used Azure Bird Leap and headed outside the village.

The old monkey was stunned, then flew into a rage: "You think you can run?"

He felt Qin An was provoking him.

With mere early-stage Body Infusion Realm strength, he dared to provoke him?

It was better if he ran; he could claim the entire credit for himself and go back to the King for a reward.

"Old Tree, hold them off for me. I'll kill this brat and come help you!"

The old monkey shouted, chasing after Qin An.

A few Evil Extermination Division clerks wanted to stop him, but more tree roots surged towards them.

Tang Lingwei witnessed everything before her and gritted her teeth, "Focus your attacks on the old tree."

If Qin An died by the old monkey's hand, and they couldn't kill the old tree before the old monkey returned, they would all die.

Tang Lingwei wasn't confident she could fight two opponents alone.

The Evil Extermination Division clerks, hearing this, their eyes turned red as they charged at the old tree.

Outside the village, a light rain began to fall.

The weather this season was already unpredictable.

Qin An, clad in black, tore through the rain.

Behind him, the white-haired old monkey swung its tail, long saber in hand, chasing at a speed not inferior to Qin An's.

The distance between them continued to close.

The old monkey was less than five meters from Qin An, blood trickling from its fangs: "Brat, you can't escape. I never intended for you to leave alive."

Just then, a gust of wind sounded.

Qin An, with a backhand, swung his saber towards the old monkey's face.

The old monkey was slightly startled and quickly drew its saber to block.

But the next moment, Qin An ignited a strand of yang energy on the Demon-Subduing Three Suns Blade.

Qin An was now at the perfected Body Infusion Realm, and a strand of yang energy on his blade was enough to rival a perfected Body Infusion Realm cultivator.

The old monkey retreated rapidly, its hands trembling slightly from the impact of the intense yang energy.

"Good blade technique."

"Brat, if you were from the Monkey Demon tribe, I'd treat you like an ancestor and protect you, let you grow."

"What a pity, you can't escape today, you won't live."

Qin An's fingers brushed the rain off his black saber, letting the water droplets splash onto the ground, his eyes like lightning: "You misunderstand."

The old monkey furrowed its brow, not understanding Qin An's meaning.

Qin An used Azure Bird Leap, turning into an afterimage and appearing before the old monkey.

The remaining two wisps of yang energy erupted completely.

"It's you who can't escape."

The yang energy exploded from the black saber, scorching like the midday sun.

The old monkey's heart skipped a beat. Qin An's voice echoed in his ears as he raised his blade, holding it horizontally in front of his chest.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal striking metal rang out, and the old monkey felt a wave of scorching heat wash over him.

"A blade technique that surpasses the Body Infusion Realm?"

The long saber clashed with the black blade, and the long saber shattered completely, fragments scattering everywhere.

The black blade, carrying a sharp whistling sound, pierced the old monkey's chest.

Blood flowed down the black blade, mixing with the rain as it fell.

Through the continuous curtain of rain, the old monkey saw a pair of calm eyes.

"If you had this strength, why did you run?"

He couldn't understand.

With just this one strike, which surpassed the Body Infusion Realm, Qin An could have killed him in front of everyone.

Why pretend to be unable to fight? Did he think it was fun?

Qin An's eyes were calm as he drew his long saber, letting the blood spill. His expression was indifferent. "It wasn't stable."

The old monkey understood the meaning behind his words and his eyes widened.

A blade technique that surpassed the Body Infusion Realm, yet he said it wasn't stable. If word got out, it would surely shock everyone.

"I still have a trump card!"

The old monkey gritted his teeth, and the tail behind him rapidly expanded.

Demonic creatures at the Body Infusion Realm could refine their own bodies.

He had refined his tail, and when it expanded, it weighed as much as a thousand jun, capable of shattering mountains and crushing rocks.

If it swept Qin An, it would surely bury Qin An along with him in the yellow earth.

Qin An clenched his left fist, his fist covered in scorching Qi, and punched the old monkey's face.

The old monkey's face took the blow and he quickly leaned back, feeling a dull ache in his face.

Before he could react, he felt a chill on his neck, and his vision tilted as he fell to the ground.

His head landed on the ground, and the rain mercilessly beat against his features.

The old monkey's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't understand how he had fallen to a mere yellow-haired brat.

Qin An wiped his black blade on the old monkey's body and said indifferently, "The wind-up was too long."

This wasn't a game; it was a battle for life and death.

If you don't use such a powerful move at the beginning, there's no point in using it later.

Who would give a demonic creature the chance to unleash its ultimate move?

Qin An squatted down and skillfully butchered the old monkey demon's corpse.

After a moment, a blood crystal the size of a fist was held in his palm.

Qin An circulated the Qi within his body and absorbed the blood crystal. "I really am incredibly suited for the Evil Extermination Division."

Butchering demonic creatures increased the proficiency of the Butcher profession, and the Scholar profession required reading. It just so happened that the cultivation methods of the Evil Extermination Division could be exchanged for merit points.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

As for whether butchering demons was troublesome, with rewards like blood crystals, Qin An didn't find it troublesome.

The rain began to lessen, and the misty fog remained.

Qin An, carrying his black blade, kicked the old monkey's corpse aside and headed towards the village.
