The Demon Monk of Vajra Temple
Lu Feng hid behind an ancient tree, concealing his aura, and looked towards the open space.
At this moment, Lin Miao was being tossed around in the air like a toy by several second-tier monkey demons.
Her face was bruised and swollen, and her hair was disheveled, but thankfully she was still alive.
The monkey demons were having a great time, occasionally letting out strange giggles. One of them grabbed Lin Miao's ankle and spun her around in the air until she didn't even have the strength to cry out.
Lu Feng did not make a move immediately. He carefully searched the area within a radius of several hundred feet.
No ambushers were found.
Apart from these few monkey demons and Lin Miao, there was nothing else.
Either the opponent's ambush tactics were so sophisticated that they could evade his senses, or the opponent was a hundred feet away.
Lu Feng didn't wait any longer. He circulated his Nei Jin and instantly activated the Carefree Steps, appearing behind a second-tier monkey demon in a flash.
The perfected Cold Plum Jin struck its back with a palm.
The chilling Nei Jin penetrated his body, and before the monkey demon could even scream, his internal organs were frozen and shattered, and his corpse collapsed to the ground.

Without stopping, Lu Feng leaped up and caught Lin Miao, who was being thrown into the air.
At the same time, the other three monkey demons finally realized what was happening.
They glanced at Lu Feng, then at their dead companion on the ground, and without a word, turned and fled into the depths of the dense forest.
"Da... Daren... I... I will never again..."
Lin Miao lay in Lu Feng, her face swollen beyond recognition. Her speech was slurred, and every two words she uttered aggravated the wounds on her face, causing her to gasp in pain.
"Alright. We're safe now!"
Lu Feng helped her to sit down next to a relatively safe ancient tree, and took out a Healing Pill from his pocket and put it into her mouth.
"Listen carefully, no matter what happens next, don't come out. Find a hidden place to hide. Wait for my signal."
Although Lin Miao's face was badly swollen, she was still relatively clear-headed.
She nodded vigorously, tears welling in her eyes, and hid in a thicket behind the ancient tree.
Lu Feng turned and walked to the center of the open space, put his hands behind his back, and slowly scanned the dark forest around him.
"Come out."
The three words, though not loud, were exceptionally clear in the quiet mountain forest.
A moment later, four dark figures silently emerged from different directions, landing around the open space and trapping Lu Feng in the center.
Dressed in black, their faces covered with black scarves, only four pairs of emotionless eyes were visible.
All four of them were at the peak of the Hua Jin Perfection, and Lu Feng sensed a fluctuation of demonic beast aura emanating from them.
"Kid, you've got guts. Daring to come alone," one of the masked men said.
Lu Feng's gaze swept over the four people one by one, and finally withdrew.
Where is Zhao Long?
"Killing you is enough for me alone."
The masked man to Lu Feng's right spoke up, clearly not taking Lu Feng seriously.
Lu Feng didn't reply. He circulated his Nei Jin and instantly activated the Phantom Steps.
Leaving behind an afterimage, his true form appeared behind the man, unleashing a palm strike with a perfected level of Cold Plum Jin.
"Puff!!!"
The man felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could understand what was happening, he was sent flying forward and crashed heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.
A clear handprint was dented into his back. He struggled to lift his head, but he had completely lost sensation below his neck.
Lu Feng didn't hold back with this palm strike. The chilling power of the Perfected Cold Plum Jin had already frozen and shattered his internal organs along his spine.

The other three had only just realized what was happening.
They didn't even see how Lu Feng moved.
The afterimage created by the perfected Phantom Steps was so realistic that, in the eyes of the three, Lu Feng stood still from beginning to end without moving an inch.
"This... how is this possible?"
"Junior Brother Zhenhong! What kind of sorcery did you use?!"
The three spoke almost simultaneously, their voices filled with more shock than fear.
The demon slayer before them, who Hua Jin Perfection, had actually severely injured their companion in an instant, and they hadn't even seen how he made his move.
"Zhenhong?"
Lu Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he understood.
"You are from the Vajra Temple."
He had felt that the demonic aura emanating from these four people was somewhat familiar, and now, upon hearing the Buddhist name Zhenhong, he finally remembered.
The Half-Demon Grandmaster Vajra Temple, whom he killed outside Mount Shaoshi, also possessed this aura.
"Charge! Go all out! Don't let him leave alive!"
Without further ado, the three unleashed their strongest attacks at Lu Feng.
The three men, radiating fierce killing intent, blocked all of Lu Feng's escape routes from three directions.
Lu Feng drew his sword and unleashed Gale Slash.
When the first flash of the blade appeared, the throat of the masked man closest to him had already been cut open.
A second flash of light followed, and the second corpse collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The third man's sword was only halfway through its swing when the blade of the Six Harmonies Saber Sword pierced through his chest.
[Ding! Successfully killed Half-Demon at the Hua Jin Perfection, gaining 50,000 Demon Points;]
[Ding! Successfully killed Half-Demon at the Hua Jin Perfection, gaining 50,000 Demon Points;]
[Ding! Successfully killed Half-Demon at the Hua Jin Perfection, gaining 50,000 Demon Points;]
System notifications sounded one after another, and in just two breaths, all three Half-Demon at the Hua Jin Perfection were killed.
"My lord... you're amazing!"
Lin Miao, who was hiding in the bushes not far away, poked half her head out. Her mouth was so swollen that she couldn't close it, but after taking the pill, her voice was clear again.
Lin Miao's eyes were filled with admiration. Seeing Lu Feng instantly kill four people, she was so excited that she tried to stand up, but she pulled at her wounds, cried out in pain, and shrank back.
Lu Feng ignored Lin Miao's praise.
He stood still, not sheathing his sword, his gaze fixed on the depths of the dense forest, his expression unusually calm.
"Zhao Long, if you don't come out soon, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he pretended to turn around and walked towards Lin Miao.
The instant he turned around, a gray figure shot out from the dense forest, so fast that it almost blended into the air.
A gray shadow appeared behind Lu Feng, and a black hand slammed down hard on his back.
Lu Feng seemed to have anticipated this. He turned around, swung his longsword backhand, and the sword and the palm collided violently in mid-air.
"Bang!!!"
Lu Feng staggered back several meters, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground. The gray-robed man also somersaulted in mid-air, landing three steps backward.
"Huh?"
The gray-robed man steadied himself, looked down at his palm, then looked up at Lu Feng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Your physical body is actually that strong? That shouldn't be possible!"
Lu Feng stopped, the tip of his knife pointing diagonally at the ground, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him.
He had a face that resembled Zhao Hu's by three points, but was even more gloomy.
The most important thing about his Early Grandmaster cultivation level is that he also has the aura of a demonic beast fluctuating around him.
"Zhao Long, it really is you!"
