Here, shrouded in dense demonic energy, was eerily silent.
Dozens of demons of various forms were crammed here, their eyes closed, practicing demonic arts.
They didn't notice Xu Chuan's infiltration at all.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan shook his head, speechless.
It was said that demons were extremely cautious, but why were the demons in this trial tower different?
Not only did they lack any vigilance, but they were also openly practicing demonic arts in broad daylight… This was truly courting death in various ways!
If anyone discovered this demon tribe, even without a trial mission, these demons would be hunted down.
Because all demons are targets of eradication, this was a rule passed down through generations across the entire Xuantian Continent.
In this cultivation area, most demons were at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Gathering.
Only a few leaders were at the sixth level of Qi Gathering.
Xu Chuan could deal with all of them alone, with no difficulty whatsoever.
Without hesitation, he directly unleashed a saber strike, beheading the demon closest to the entrance in one swift blow.
Then.
He weaved through the crowd, his saber flashing continuously, before they could react.
He slew all the demons here, leaving none alive.
To their deaths, they never knew who had attacked them.
Meanwhile, deep within the demon tribe's territory.
A middle-aged man who looked very similar to a human emerged from a house after finishing his cultivation.
He scanned his surroundings, his eyes filled with confusion.
Why were there no patrolling demons during the day?
Were they all cultivating?
"Something's not right."
He frowned, his keen intuition suddenly giving him a sense of unease.
Immediately, he seemed to sense something, his expression changing drastically, and he rushed towards the tribe's cultivation area.
The faint smell of blood in the air further shocked his senses.
At this point, even a fool would realize that something had gone wrong.
When he arrived at the cultivation site and saw the tragic scene within, his eyes widened in rage.
"What impudent rogue dares to act so presumptuously in my demon tribe!"
"Come out for me!"
His roar of grief and anger echoed throughout the wilderness.
His aura erupted, directly destroying the entire cultivation area.
"Such powerful strength!"
Xu Chuan, hidden in the shadows, watched with a hidden shock.
[Name: Liu Liang]
[Realm: Mortal Transformation First Level (due to the backlash from forcibly merging with the Creation Lotus Seed, his current strength is barely equivalent to Qi Gathering Seventh Level)]
[Talent: One in a Hundred]
[Destiny: Human-Demon Mixed Blood (Red), Unaccepted by Heaven and Earth (White)]
[Life Script: The Life of a Minor Demon Leader]
[Opportunity: None]
[Human-Demon Mixed Blood: Possesses the appearance of a human but has demonic blood flowing within. Can simultaneously cultivate human and demonic techniques and martial arts.]
[Unaccepted by Heaven and Earth: Possessing the bloodline of two races, neither world accepts him, and he will encounter obstacles in everything he does.]
Xu Chuan, hidden in the shadows, saw this person's information clearly.
As expected, this person was likely the leader mentioned by these demons.
His realm was not bad, actually at the first level of Mortal Transformation.
No wonder he exuded such an aura.
However, seeing the latter part, he only had the strength of the seventh level of Qi Gathering.
This made Xu Chuan breathe a sigh of relief.
If he hadn't been injured, with the strength of the first level of Mortal Transformation, he might have had to retreat today and plan after Xu Chen arrived.
But at the seventh level of Qi Gathering, he might not be able to contend with him.
Seeing his destiny, Xu Chuan was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected Liu Liang to be of the forbidden Human-Demon Mixed Blood!
No wonder even after obtaining the Creation Lotus Seed, he hadn't managed to refine it successfully, taking so long.
At this moment.
Unable to find the killer, Liu Liang began to destroy things around him.
He wanted to force Xu Chuan out.
However, through this unintentional mistake.
He actually managed to find Xu Chuan's hiding place.
He then struck with his palm, intending to kill Xu Chuan while he was unprepared.
But how could Xu Chuan give him such an opportunity?
Without hesitation, his God-Slayer Saber swept out.
The fierce saber energy, imbued with intense killing intent, directly collided with Liu Liang's palm.
Clang!
The moment the saber and palm met, a sound like metal striking metal rang out.
Xu Chuan's God-Slayer Saber vibrated with a hum.
Liu Liang looked at his bloodied palm with disbelief.
He never expected that a young man who only seemed to be at the fourth level of Qi Gathering could break his palm strike.
After all, he had practiced the Vajra Palm for many years, and his hands had long since developed skin like bronze and bones like iron.
Let alone the fourth level of Qi Gathering, even the eighth level of Qi Gathering couldn't break his defenses.
Yet, the young man before him had achieved it.
This filled Liu Liang with a sense of dread.
Due to the backlash, he only had the strength of the seventh level of Qi Gathering at this moment.
He had thought that even so, with hands capable of splitting mountains and cracking stones, even the ninth level of Qi Gathering wouldn't be able to gain an advantage against him while he was injured.
But the young martial artist before him had not only broken his defenses with a single saber strike but had nearly severed his hand.
Such strength was simply astounding!
He finally understood how his subordinates had been killed without a sound.
"We have no enmity, why did you strike so ruthlessly?!"
Seeing that he was outmatched, Liu Liang tried to use his human appearance to deceive Xu Chuan, then find an opportunity to kill him.
"I am a disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land. Your kind, demons, are targets of eradication!"
Xu Chuan shouted coldly, his words exposing Liu Liang's identity. He then continued his assault with his saber without further ado.
Strike while the iron is hot.
As for Liu Liang.
His face turned ashen white upon hearing Xu Chuan's words.
He couldn't understand at all.
How had he been exposed? He felt he had hidden very well!
But one thing he understood clearly.
That is, once his demonic identity was revealed, it meant an irreconcilable conflict.
The saying "all demons are targets of eradication" was not just an empty slogan.
"Since my identity is revealed, you must die today!"
Liu Liang knew that Xu Chuan would not let him go, but why would he let Xu Chuan go either?
Therefore, Liu Liang's expression became ferocious.
His elemental energy surged wildly, and his demonic arts were pushed to their limit as he lunged towards Xu Chuan.
But Xu Chuan remained unfazed.
He swung his saber, fully embodying the essence of the Scarlet Blood Saber Technique.
The terrifying saber energy, carrying an unmatched momentum, pierced directly towards Liu Liang's heart.
The power of this saber strike was too immense.
It was so strong that Liu Liang could not resist it.
Before the saber blade even touched him, his flesh and blood were stripped away by the saber energy, revealing his white bones.
Seeing the long saber approaching, he had intended to dodge, but before he could react, the saber had already pierced through his chest.
*Puchi!*
With a dull thud, his heart was torn to shreds by the saber energy, and his internal organs were reduced to pulp.
As he died, his eyes widened in disbelief as he clutched his chest, then slowly collapsed.
In the end, like the other demons, his corpse melted away after death.
This was one good thing about demons: after death, their corpses didn't even need cremation.
The life of a minor leader ended, leaving only a pool of foul-smelling liquid.
