We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Just then, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, a rune flew out from He Qiu's body, radiating a light like the blue sky and exuding a vast aura.

As if sensing that He Qiu was in mortal danger, the rune trembled slightly, and an invisible energy ripple spread out, then transformed into a sharp blade that crashed into Su Chen's blade light. The two huge energies collided, but instead of causing a commotion as expected, they were completely silent.

The moment the energy ripple touched the blade's edge, it seemed to melt like steel into silk, instantly annihilating it. In the blink of an eye, the blade's edge vanished into the energy ripple, disappearing completely.

"what happened?"

Upon seeing this, everyone froze on the spot, speechless with astonishment, their faces showing surprise.

Su Chen frowned slightly, a look of seriousness flashing across his face: "Terrifying power!"

He could sense that the other party's realm had not reached the Martial Immortal level; at most, it was considered to be at the peak of supernatural powers.

Logically speaking, with his current strength, he should be fearless even when facing a martial artist at the peak of supernatural powers.

But strangely, from the opponent's actions, a sense of apprehension inexplicably welled up in his heart.

It's as if no matter what methods you use, you might not be able to shake off the opponent's offensive, and you might even suffer the opposite and be seriously injured.

This shocked him greatly. They were both martial artists at the peak of the Divine Power Realm, so why was this person so powerful?
It actually gave him such a heart-pounding feeling!
"It was Elder Wu Mo who made the move!"

Just as he was wondering what was going on, the man in white recognized the rune and identified the person who had made the move. His tense expression relaxed. Fortunately, Elder Wu Mo had intervened; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

As he finished speaking, the runes projected an aged figure, which was none other than Wu Mo.

Wu Mo looked bewildered, but when he saw the injured He Qiu in front of him, he was immediately shocked: "What happened, He Qiu? Who hurt you like this?"

No wonder he wasn't shocked. He Qiu's strength was enough to make it onto the list of supernatural powers, and even if he was ranked at the bottom, he was still extremely powerful.

Among the martial artists who entered the demon hunt this time, there may be other talented disciples from other sects who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but absolutely no one's strength surpasses He Qiu's, especially since He Qiu also carries a divine weapon, which makes him even more overwhelming.

Under such circumstances, He Qiu was actually injured!
He Qiu was not unconscious at this time and was still breathing, but he was seriously injured. After hearing this, he opened his mouth, but Elder Wu Mo's shocked words seemed like a silent mockery, making him unable to utter a sound no matter what.

Should we really tell Wu Mo that the person who injured him was not a demon or a celestial demon, but Su Chen?

Such behavior is undoubtedly extremely shameful.

However, he didn't speak. But Elder Wu Mo saw something from the attack just now. He turned to look at Su Chen and coldly questioned, "It was you?"

Her voice was filled with disbelief, and her eyes were full of doubt, but at the moment, Su Chen was the most likely person to make a move against He Qiu.

Su Chen grunted. Having fully recovered his strength, he was briefly taken aback when he saw Wu Mo appear, but he quickly recovered. Faced with Wu Mo's questioning, he didn't waste any words and attacked again.

Just kidding, he's already got the will to kill, why would he stop until he kills He Qiu?
The divine weapon has been drawn; it will not be returned to its sheath until blood is shed.

Today, even if Wu Mo's illusory form appears, or even if Wu Mo's real form appears, he will not let He Qiu go!
With a single strike, the blade surged towards Wu Mo like a mudslide.

The murderous intent emanating from it was almost frozen in place.

Su Chen's murderous intent was even stronger than everyone imagined; he not only wanted to kill He Qiu, but also Wu Mo.

What's even more uninhibited is that he acted openly and aboveboard.

No matter who you are, if you anger me, you're dead!

"Be bold!"

Seeing that Su Chen had actually overestimated himself and attacked him, Wu Mo was furious.

Using the power of the runes, a dazzling light burst forth, carrying intense killing intent, and shot towards Su Chen amidst the raging wind and thunder.

Bang!
The instant the blade and arrow collided, an indescribable wave rippled outwards, causing the surrounding space and time to freeze.

"How did you become so strong!"

Wu Mo's voice rang out in utter astonishment, his usually cold face now showing barely concealed emotion.

Although he didn't unleash his full power with that move, it was enough to kill a martial artist at the peak of supernatural abilities.

Logically speaking, Su Chen, whose realm was merely at the Great Perfection of Supernatural Powers, should have been utterly unable to withstand it. Yet, Su Chen not only withstood it but also emerged unscathed.

how can that be!

"It really was you who hurt He Qiu!"

Having witnessed Su Chen's strength, the unbelievable guess in my heart suddenly came to light: the one who injured He Qiu was none other than Su Chen.

"Wait, why does his power contain demonic energy!"

Shocked, Wu Mo quickly noticed something unusual. The moves Su Chen used contained numerous and pure Yuan energy, several of which he didn't even recognize. However, he immediately detected the immense demonic power within them.

He looked at the others, eager to know what had happened during this demon hunt.

Why is Su Chen able to use demonic power?

Why has Su Chen's strength improved so quickly that even He Qiu is no match for him?
Why would He Qiu suddenly summon me? This kind of summoning hasn't happened for over a hundred years. It would never happen unless it was a life-or-death situation. But looking at the others, they didn't seem to be facing a life-or-death crisis at all.

With too many questions to answer, Wu Mo glanced around before his gaze settled on the white-robed man and his companions.

Before he could ask, he caught a glimpse of Ayana in front of Yunxi out of the corner of his eye, and his eyelids twitched. He blurted out, "Heavenly Demon!"

He recognized the woman at a glance. At first, he couldn't quite believe it, but after observing her for a few more moments, he became even more certain that she was Ayana.

At the same time, they also recognized Ayana's Shura identity.

Upon discovering this, the shock in his heart was beyond words, even more astonishing than when he first learned of Su Chen's strength.

At this moment, the man in white hurriedly transmitted his voice: "Elder, something has happened in the Demon Cave. A demon has triggered a demon tide and brought in a Heavenly Demon. This place is about to be occupied by the demons and Heavenly Demons. We have suffered extremely heavy casualties. I urge the elder to unite with other forces as soon as possible and open the Demon Cave in advance. Otherwise, when the demons and Heavenly Demons attack, we will have nowhere to retreat and will be doomed!"

With Wu Mo around, He Qiu's safety was guaranteed, but the demons and the heavenly demons were always a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads, making everyone uneasy. Therefore, he had to keep it brief and simply tell Wu Mo about the situation in the demon cave.

"A celestial demon has been born!"

Wu Mo subconsciously overlooked the fact that the demon tide was precisely the purpose of their disciples' training in the demon cave.

However, the Heavenly Demon was someone he could not ignore no matter what.

He knew the power of the Heavenly Demons better than anyone else present, because he had encountered them on the battlefield before. Although there were not many of them and he was stronger than the Heavenly Demons, the damage they had caused him was still unforgettable.

"Furthermore, Elder, the reason we were discovered by the Heavenly Demoness is because Su Chen colluded with the Heavenly Demon, which attracted the Heavenly Demon!"

Then, the man in white added a sentence.

"It's Su Chen again!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mo's anger, which had just subsided, surged up again, and his gaze toward Su Chen turned icy cold.

"Today I will kill you, you traitor, on behalf of the Ziyang Sect!" Wu Mo sneered and took the initiative to attack.

But he hadn't expected that Su Chen's attack would be three points faster than his. Just as he made his move, Su Chen slashed down again. This slash was incredibly powerful, and even before it was fully unleashed, it inexplicably instilled a sense of dread in him. Especially when the blade's light pierced through the void and cleaved through the air, he felt as if the world before him had turned into nothingness.

This horrified him; he never imagined that Su Chen's move would be so terrifying.

"You old scoundrel, die!"

Su Chen uttered a soft sentence, his voice booming like thunder. The blade light that fell to the sky displayed a power that was not something a martial artist who had mastered supernatural abilities should have. Even a martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of supernatural abilities could not achieve such a level.

Presented so nakedly to Wu Mo, his movements slowed by a fraction of a second.

Fortunately, he was experienced and reacted quickly, striking out to defend himself.

That's right!

withstand!

He never dreamed that such a day would come. When faced with an attack from a martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of supernatural powers, his first reaction was not to crush the opponent, but to adopt a defensive stance.

It was as if he subconsciously believed that if he didn't resist, he would surely die.

"If my true form could descend, why would I need to resist?"

Wu Mo thought to himself that what appeared now was just an illusion, existing entirely by relying on runes, and its strength was only six-tenths of what it could exert. Facing Su Chen, whose strength had increased dramatically, it was naturally no match for him.

boom!
Just then, a deafening explosion erupted ahead. The moment the two energies collided, endless energy erupted like a volcano, raging out in an instant and leveling everything around them to nothingness.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Mo's expression changed drastically, not because he was worried about himself, but because he was worried about He Qiu, who was seriously injured.

He could withstand such an attack, but He Qiu might not be able to.

At this moment, he was clashing with Su Chen's energy and could not take care of He Qiu for the time being. If He Qiu was injured by the aftershocks, he would have nowhere to cry.

Left with no other choice, he could only grit his teeth and spare a sliver of his attention to protect He Qiu.

But at that moment, a bad feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.

"Damn it, the energy in the runes is almost depleted, I can't hold on much longer!"

Wu Mo felt a chill run down his spine. Most of the energy he used came from the runes. After fighting Su Chen repeatedly, the energy in the runes was about to be exhausted. Once it was exhausted, he would disappear.

"I see!"

My heart was filled with anxiety as I pondered what to do, when suddenly I heard a slightly mocking voice.

Wu Mo was taken aback and turned his head to look. What came into view was a tall and slender figure, a figure he absolutely did not want to see.

"You, how did you get here?"

Su Chen was fighting with me, so why is he here all of a sudden? And who is the person I was fighting?
Su Chen smiled dismissively and did not reply. Wu Mo's change in strength was too obvious; it was easy to notice without deliberate observation.

Upon realizing this, Su Chen did not take action himself, but instead allowed the Heaven-Slaying Blade to continue its stalemate with Wu Mo.

He silently approached Wu Mo's side and, upon discovering that Wu Mo's figure was gradually disappearing, immediately guessed the reason.

Knowing that Wu Mo would disappear sooner or later, Su Chen stopped looking at him and instead turned his gaze to the seriously injured He Qiu.

"You, stop!"

Seeing this, Wu Mo knew exactly what Su Chen was thinking, and immediately roared, trying to stop Su Chen.

"Su Chen, if you kill He Qiu, my Holy Origin Sect will fight you to the death!"

Unable to act directly, he could only resort to threats, trying to invoke the prestige of the Holy Origin Sect to make Su Chen stop.

Wu Mo took a deep breath, softened his tone, and persuaded, "Su Chen, our Holy Origin Sect can let bygones be bygones regarding what happened before. As long as you release He Qiu, we can pretend it never happened. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Su Chen chuckled and readily agreed.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

He was just a greenhorn with little experience, and he was easily intimidated by his words.

But soon, the smile froze.

Because he saw that the words were spoken a second ago, but the hand moved the next second.

Su Chen agreed readily, but he broke the agreement just as readily, attacking He Qiu in less than a breath.

At such close range, even if he had reacted, he wouldn't have been able to turn the tide.

"what!"

He Qiu was in the same boat, and could only stare at Su Chen with a face full of resentment, trying to dodge, but found that the space and time around her were imprisoned, and she could not dodge at all.

After the attack, He Qiu let out a miserable scream without any doubt.

Before its breath had completely died out, Su Chen had plundered all the Pure Yuan Pills from its body.

At the same time, he used the Soul Searching Technique to try to refine its primordial spirit so that he could absorb its supernatural powers. Unfortunately, the Holy Origin Sect's defenses against supernatural powers were even stronger than he had imagined. The Soul Searching Technique, a minor supernatural power, was simply unable to absorb He Qiu's supernatural powers.

Left with no other choice, Su Chen had to refine He Qiu's Yuan Qi and blood while simultaneously refining her divine power seed.

The Divine Power Seed contains all of He Qiu's divine powers. If one can refine the Divine Power Seed, one can also obtain He Qiu's divine powers.

However, this process is very long and fraught with danger, and is far less efficient than refining the primordial spirit.

For this reason, Su Chen only imprisoned his divine power seed and did not immediately begin refining it.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because Su Chen held back that He Qiu seized the opportunity.

It would be one thing if she died, but in the end, all her cultivation would belong to Su Chen. This was something He Qiu absolutely could not tolerate.

With a heavy heart, he communicated with his primordial spirit and the seed of supernatural power, and chose to self-destruct without hesitation.

"Oops!"

Su Chen immediately realized He Qiu's intention, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately disregarded his so-called Yuan Power and supernatural abilities, shouting at the Broken Sky Blade: "This person is going to self-destruct, get out of here!"

Upon learning this, Duan Tiandao prepared to leave without saying a word.

Although the man and the knife ran very fast, He Qiu's self-destruction was incredibly fast. In less than a thousandth of a second, a devastating energy shot into the sky, resounding like a nuclear explosion.

A terrifying scene, as if the end of the world had arrived, swept out like a hurricane, instantly engulfing Su Chen and the Heaven-Slaying Blade! (End of Chapter)
