Women Would Only Slow Down My Cultivation!

With the Scarlet Flame Tiger dead, the remaining demonic beasts, just as Lu Feng had predicted, completely lost their will to fight.

Even a fourth-tier Demon King was cleaved in two by this human's blade; what difference would it make if these first- and second-tier demons charged forward? It would be tantamount to suicide.

It was unclear which of the monsters let out a terrified scream first, then turned and ran away.

Immediately afterwards, the entire herd of beasts scattered and fled like a flood breaking through a dam.

More than two thousand demonic beasts fled for their lives at the same time, creating a scene of indescribable chaos.

Low-level demonic beasts were knocked down in the crowd, and before they could get up, they were trampled underfoot by their own kind surging up from behind.

The first-tier demon beast was trampled until its belly was ripped open and its intestines spilled out, and it was trampled to death in the mud.

After the torrent of fleeing for their lives subsided, a vast expanse of mangled and unrecognizable monster corpses lay on the ground, numbering at least two or three hundred.

Lu Feng frowned slightly as he watched the more than a thousand demonic beasts scatter and flee.

Those are all Demon Points. More than a thousand of them, which translates to at least several million Demon Points.

It's a lie to say I'm not heartbroken that they just ran away like that.

But he didn't chase after them.

It would take at least half an hour to kill all these monsters.

Half an hour is enough time for too many things to happen at the fourth entrance.

His purpose in coming here was to provide support; the sooner he arrived at the fourth entrance, the safer the people there would be.

Lu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to pursue, and quickly walked to the side of the Scarlet Flame Tiger's corpse.

The blade tip pried open the tiger's head, and a fist-sized, crimson demon core was taken out from the skull. The remaining essence blood in the tiger's body was then collected in a jade bottle.

After doing all this, he straightened up, activated his True Essence, and once again used the Treading on Snow Without a Trace" technique. His figure transformed into a black streak of light and sped towards the direction of the fourth entrance.

During the flight, he took a moment to glance at the points token at his waist.

Twelve thousand eight hundred. Ranked first.

Besides slaying the Scarlet Flame Tiger, I also took care of more than two hundred other demonic beasts.

My points increased by more than 5,000.

"It seems that the monsters killed outside the pass are indeed counted at double the rate."

Lu Feng muttered something to himself, put the token back into his waistband, and then glanced at the system panel.

[Demon Points: 13,800,000]

Thirteen million eight hundred thousand.

It's a pity he's still missing a few types of fourth-tier essence blood; otherwise, he could have pushed the Hundred Beasts Body Tempering Art to the fourth level right now.

As he flew, he kept replaying the memory of that last strike in his mind.

After Grandmaster, he used his True Essence to unleash the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash, making it several times more powerful than when he was at the Hua Jin.

A fourth-tier Demon King, which would have taken him a long time to defeat in the past, was now killed with a single strike.

The True Essence consumed by that single strike was only one-tenth of his total amount.

Because Lu Feng had cultivated the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Art to perfection, the rate at which his True Essence recovered far exceeded its consumption.

He flew for half an hour, and by the time he reached the fourth entrance, his True Essence had been restored.

Lu Feng did not rush to show himself.

He leaped onto a towering ancient tree, using its dense canopy to conceal his figure, and looked down towards the fourth entrance.

He frowned after just one glance.

Outside the fourth entrance, there were countless demonic beasts.

The dark, surging tide of beasts covered the entire flat area outside the valley entrance.

He counted more than a dozen fourth-tier Demon King alone.

There were countless third-tier demonic beasts, at least several hundred.

And if you add in the first and second tier lesser demons, there would probably be tens of thousands.

Fortunately, the passage to the fourth entrance is extremely narrow, only allowing a few dozen monsters to pass side by side at a time.

No matter how many monsters there were, they could only line up outside the pass and squeeze in one batch at a time.

"It seems the pass hasn't been breached yet. Otherwise, the monsters wouldn't be entering so slowly."

Lu Feng looked at the long line of demonic beasts in front of the valley entrance and muttered to himself.

He scanned the beast horde again carefully, confirming that there was no aura of Fifth-Tier Demon Lord among them.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, silently descending from the treetop and circling around the side of the fourth entrance.

Meanwhile, outside the fourth entrance, a dozen fourth-tier Demon King gathered on a high slope, looking down at the slowly writhing beast tide below.

"Third Brother, this entrance can only let in a few dozen at a time. At this rate, it will take at least three hours to break through the pass."

A burly, fourth-tier Black Iron Bear spoke in a deep, gruff voice, its face full of anxiety.

"I'm worried that during these three hours, humans from other passes will come to our aid. If we're attacked from both sides, we'll be at a disadvantage."

You idiot.

A Profound Water Crocodile with a crocodile's head and a human body glanced at it sideways, its tone tinged with helplessness.

"Do you know why Third Brother only sent first and second-tier demonic beasts to charge, and not third-tier ones, let alone us?"

Black Iron Bear scratched his head, slapping his head with his paws.

"Brother Crocodile, you know me, I'm not very bright. Just tell me straight, don't beat around the bush."

The Profound Water Crocodile sighed and raised its paw, pointing towards the beast tide beyond the pass:

"What Third Brother needs is reinforcements from other checkpoints."

"Or rather, what he wants is for humanity to move its second and third lines of defense forces here."

Is it difficult to break through this barrier?

"It's not difficult. You and I can just charge in and take it down in less than half an hour."

"But what happens after we take it? This first pass is so narrow that it's difficult to even turn around, and it can't accommodate too many Demon Race. Even if we take it, if the humans counterattack, we won't be able to hold out for long."

It turned to look at the Black Iron Bear, "Fool, let me ask you this: if it's a war of attrition, who will win, us or the humans?"

"Of course!"

Black Iron Bear patted his chest, causing the pebbles beneath his feet to bounce.

"Our Demon Race race outnumbers humans by dozens of times; we'll wear them down!"

"Looks like you're not stupid after all." The Profound Water Crocodile nodded.

"But why are you so clueless about women?"

"Women will only slow down my cultivation!"

Black Iron Bear shook his head like a rattle drum.

"What are you going to do with it? I don't understand."

The surrounding Demon King rolled their eyes simultaneously, but no one responded.

The Profound Water Crocodile withdrew its gaze and looked again at the narrow pass.

"Third Brother's plan is to use these low-level demonic beasts as bait to lure humans from other entrances."

"The more people they send, the greater their losses will be. Once they are exhausted and their defenses are weakened, we can concentrate our forces and break through the first, second, and third lines of defense in one fell swoop, taking the entire Severed Cloud Pass."

After it finished speaking, it turned and glanced at the Black Iron Bear: "Do you understand now?"

Black Iron Bear tilted his head and thought for a long time before finally grinning:

"I don't understand. But what you've said must make sense."

"I'll do as you say, I'll go whenever you tell me to!"

Just then, Lu Feng emerged from the dense forest on the flank and charged straight towards the herd of beasts outside the fourth entrance.

At first it was just a blurry black dot, but in the blink of an eye it closed to a distance that could be seen with the naked eye.

Before the demonic beasts guarding the pass could even raise an alarm, the black figure had already crossed the outer perimeter of the first rank of beasts.

"Third Brother! There are humans!"

Even without the Profound Water Crocodile speaking, more than a dozen fourth-tier Demon King had already sensed Lu Feng's presence.
