Li Changfeng's expression suddenly turned very serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Why are all these side quests rewarding Demonbane Pill? Is there some hidden reason behind this?"
"It seems the demonic energy within me is in a serious state! That's why the system just rewarded me with so many Demonbane Pills!"
"Sigh! What's done is done! There's no use thinking too much! Let's finish that Blood Demon Qiu Renyu Yu's quest first!" Li Changfeng sighed and slowly headed towards Cloud City.
Cloud City.
At this moment, in a secluded, dark building, a figure exuding a strong aura of blood slowly sat down on a large chair.
The man had blood-red hair, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying red light in the darkness. A blood-red halberd stood beside him, and he listened calmly to the information reported by his subordinates.
"Hmm? You mean someone is coming here to kill me Blood Demon Qiu Renyu?"
The black-clad subordinate lowered his head and trembled as he said, "Yes, sir! This person actually knew about my secret stronghold and even handed this information over to us. He's truly remarkable! Therefore, I still believe this information is more credible!"
Upon hearing this Blood Demon Qiu Renyu burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Interesting! I didn't expect someone to come and attack me. Do you know his name?"
Upon hearing this, the black-clad subordinate said gravely, "This man is Li Changfeng, ranked fourth on the Human Rankings! I've heard he's killed quite a few people recently, including Grandmasters. Sir! Should we prepare to escape?"
Upon hearing this, Blood Demon Qiu Renyu's eyes flashed with a red light, landing on his black-clad subordinate, causing him to shiver. He immediately kowtowed loudly, "My lord, spare my life! I misspoke! I deserve to be slapped!"
The black-clad henchman began slapping the man's face wildly, his blows so vicious that his mouth was smashed open and blood slowly dripped onto the ground.
A moment later.
Blood Demon Qiu Renyu said calmly, "Fine! I'll spare your life this time! Think carefully before you speak next time!"
The black-clad subordinate was overjoyed upon hearing this and respectfully said, "Thank you for sparing my life, sir! I will take my leave now!"
After the black-clad subordinate took his leave, Blood Demon Qiu Renyu sneered, "Li Changfeng? Very well! Outside, I might still be somewhat wary of you, but here, even a mid-stage Grandmaster like you is a match for me! Li Changfeng, I await your arrival; your flesh and blood will surely be delicious! Hehe!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng transformed into a young man in white robes and slowly walked into Cloud City, thinking to himself, "Now that I've arrived in Cloud City, how can I find out information about the Blood Demon Qiu Renyu?"
Li Changfeng was walking casually down the street when he suddenly bumped into a young and beautiful woman.
"Hmph!"
The young woman cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Li Changfeng quickly helped her up and bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry, miss! I accidentally bumped into you. Please forgive me!"
The young woman shook her head upon hearing this, "It's alright! I'll be going now!"
"Yin Hong! You won't escape my grasp!!" Suddenly, a lewd voice rang out from ahead.
Suddenly, a fat man with a pockmarked face chased after them, his expression lewd. He leered at the young woman beside Li Changfeng until she felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly hid behind Li Changfeng, crying out in terror, "Young... Young Master! Could you please help me!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Okay!"
The ugly fat man approached Li Changfeng, snarling, "I hate pretty boys like you the most! Get lost! Or I'll make you my gigolo!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to die, you'd better kneel down and apologize to me! Otherwise, you'll lose your tongue!"
"Heh heh! Kid! Do you know who I am? I'm Zhu Gongcai, the only son of the underground Poison Serpent Gang! You try touching me!" Zhu Gongcai said arrogantly with a sinister grin.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's eyes gleamed, and he thought to himself, "The underground Poison Serpent Gang? Heh! I didn't expect them to gather information so quickly. It seems this fat guy is still somewhat useful!"
Without saying a word, Li Changfeng picked up the Azure Rainbow Sword and slammed it, scabbard and all, onto the fat man's left shoulder. With a crack, the fat man's shoulder bone was shattered by Li Changfeng's blow, and he screamed in pain.
The sound, like a pig's squeal, echoed throughout the entire street. Zhu Gongcai, his face filled with terror, trembled as he stammered, "You... you actually dared to hit me! Do you know who my father is? How dare you hit me!"
Li Changfeng frowned slightly as he listened to the fat man, who looked like a dead pig, repeating the same few sentences incessantly. "So noisy!"
Li Changfeng suddenly slammed his sword sheath into Zhu Gongcai's incessantly chattering mouth, sending him flying into the air before crashing to the ground with a series of pig-like squeals.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face turned cold. "Say it again and I'll kill you!!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gongcai dared not utter another sound. He could sense that Li Changfeng was really going to kill him, and he lay on the ground trembling violently.
At this moment, a man dressed in green from the Poison Serpent Gang suddenly appeared in front of Li Changfeng. Seeing their young master in such a state, he was furious. "How dare you! How could you harm our young master!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhu Gongcai glared at Li Changfeng with a sinister expression and sneered, "Headman Wang! Kill this damned pretty boy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Headman Wang grinned maliciously, drew his curved sword from his waist, and slashed fiercely at Li Changfeng. The blade was faintly covered with a green liquid, as if it were laced with poison. It slashed through the air, leaving a green shadow as it hurtled towards Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng sneered. Someone with only first-rate strength wouldn't waste much of his skills, and he didn't even bother to draw his sword. He simply slammed the scabbard down hard on the blade. With a clang, the green blade shadow of the leader of the Headman Wang came crashing down.
Li Changfeng smashed it in half with a single sword strike, and the remaining force slammed into Headman Wang's body. A cracking sound of bones breaking was heard as Headman Wang's entire skeleton was shattered by Li Changfeng, and he lay on the ground like a corpse.
He coughed up blood uncontrollably, staring at Li Changfeng with a face full of terror, "You... you're so strong!!" After saying that, Headman Wang lolled to the side, and he breathed his last, dying with his eyes wide open.
Seeing this, Zhu Gongcai looked at Li Changfeng with a face full of terror, frantically crawling backward, a foul-smelling yellow liquid flowing from his crotch. "No... don't kill me!"
Li Changfeng sneered, "Your life still has some value! I won't kill you!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng asked someone for a burlap sack, put the fat man inside in front of everyone, and carried him away, scaring the people into fleeing.
The young woman gritted her teeth. "Young master! You've offended the Poison Serpent Gang because of me! I'll find you a place to make a living!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave the woman a deep look and nodded, saying, "Alright!"
