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

Upon hearing Ayana's words, the man in white instantly flew into a rage, cursing loudly, completely disbelieving that Su Chen could survive the onslaught of demons.

"Kid, I've had my eye on you for a long time. Now, go to hell!"

Ayana also flew into a rage. As a woman of high status, she was always the one who scolded others; when did it become her turn to be scolded?

After shouting angrily, Ayana suddenly flashed and rushed towards the man in white with lightning speed.

The man in white snorted softly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

He had tried to kill Ayana countless times before, but each time he failed because of her supernatural powers. Now that Ayana had taken the initiative to attack, it was exactly what he wanted.

The demons are approaching. If they can capture Ayana at this time, their chances of survival will be much greater.

Therefore, the white-robed man's first move was a fierce killing move. With a wave of his hand, a gale arose. This was no ordinary gale; it was a gale formed from condensed Yuan energy. The gale howled, sometimes as fierce as a tiger or leopard, sometimes as sharp as a blade. It tore through the air and could even disperse Yuan energy. When it pierced the skin, it would bring extreme pain.

It can target not only the physical body but also the primordial spirit. It is a great supernatural power of the man in white, called Azure Sky Gale, and its power is quite remarkable.

"A gale that directly targets the primordial spirit? The method is not bad, but it's a pity that the person who uses the supernatural power is too weak to unleash the true power of the gale."

If He Qiu were to unleash such supernatural power, she might be wary. As for the man in white, well, he could only chuckle.

Ayana shook her head slightly, then waved her hand.

With a wave of his hand, a large amount of black mist spewed out, spreading out instantly and covering the gale, turning the invisible into the visible, capturing all the gale, and then controlling the black mist to erode the gale. Under the erosion of the black mist, the gale only lasted for less than half a breath before it vanished into thin air.

puff!
Such a swift and decisive way of neutralizing the attack injured the man in white. The moment the gale was destroyed, the man in white could no longer hold back and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Senior Brother Feng!"

Upon seeing this, a group of disciples from the Holy Origin Sect rushed forward to help him, using their Yuan Power to take out pills and heal his injuries.

After swallowing a healing pill, the man in white's complexion improved: "I'm fine, quickly kill this woman!"

"It's too late, Senior Brother Feng, she left a long time ago," a disciple said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, the white-clad man's pupils contracted slightly: "Where did you go?"

While asking questions, he looked around but did not see Ayana.

"She has returned to the Heavenly Demon Realm!" someone replied.

After exchanging blows with the man in white, Ayana left and returned to the Heavenly Demon Army, having no intention of continuing the stalemate with the others.

"It's ridiculous that so many of us couldn't even take down a single Asura!"

Upon learning this result, the man in white smiled sadly, feeling both angry and frustrated. If this matter were to get out, he feared he would become a laughing stock!

"Also, Senior Brother Feng, Su Chen is not dead."

At this moment, a disciple spoke up, somewhat hesitantly.

"What did you say?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the white-robed man's demeanor changed drastically, and his sharp gaze suddenly fell upon him.

The disciple trembled in fright and stammered, "It's true, Senior Brother Feng, look..."

He didn't explain much, but pointed to the demons behind him. Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the demons. That figure weaved through the demon horde, and wherever it passed, hundreds of demons fell. Its speed in hunting demons was simply terrifying.

Because of the rapid hunting speed, most of the demons' attention was focused on Su Chen, and they all surrounded and attacked him, delaying their progress and preventing them from entering the ruined city.

"He... he actually stopped the demons' attack all by himself!"

Not only the people of the Holy Origin Sect witnessed this scene, but also the disciples of other sects. For a moment, everyone was shocked by what they saw.

Thinking hard!
"Is there no limit to his Yuan power?"

"After fighting for so long, this person was still able to hold off all the demons all by himself. No wonder he was able to kill He Qiu!"

"The Ziyang Sect has produced an extraordinary disciple!"

"If this person can survive this demon hunt, he will definitely have a bright future and may become the next Bi Tianyu."

I am not like that person!

"..."

The crowd wore complex expressions, their thoughts racing.

“Shall we go and meet up with Su Chen?” At this moment, a Xuan Yin Sect disciple spoke up.

Staying in the ruined city for now is simply waiting for the Heavenly Demon to arrive. Whether they can stop the Heavenly Demon is another matter. Su Chen's strength has given them hope. If they can break through the demons, they can continue to deal with the Heavenly Demon in the future. After all, although the number of Heavenly Demons is large, they cannot cover the entire Demon Cave.

As long as they can hold out until the great formation is activated, they will survive. As for what happens after that, the sect will handle it.

These words quickly gained the approval of some disciples, but they sounded extremely grating to the white-robed man.

He coldly said, "Have you thought this through? If you insist on going to Su Chen's place, you'd better be prepared to die. Stay here and join us in casting the Harmony Formation. With the formation's protection, the Heavenly Demons won't be able to break through us so easily. Besides, Senior Brother He Qiu has already contacted Elder Wu Mo. Although Su Chen interrupted the call, Elder Wu Mo must know about the situation in the Demon Cave. He might be doing his best to rescue us right now."

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Yin Sect disciple froze, caught in a dilemma.

He had witnessed the power of the Holy Origin Sect's grand formation before and knew that what the white-robed man said was true. With such a grand formation, it was not impossible to resist the Heavenly Demon.

However, what really made her hesitate was the outside rescue. If it was true, as the man in white said, that the great formation would be activated just as they reunited with Su Chen, wouldn't that mean they would have missed the opportunity?

After much deliberation, she ultimately decided against joining Su Chen and instead chose to stay.

The others who were initially interested did not leave after careful consideration.

Upon seeing this, a smile flashed across the face of the man in white.

However, his smile quickly froze, because while everyone else remained behind, Yun Xi darted out alone and flew towards Su Chen.

"Fool!"

It was not surprising that Yun Xi had left, and the man in white did not care. Instead, he looked at Xiang Cheng.

Seeing Yunxi leave, Xiangcheng and the others didn't say anything more and remained where they were.

"The Heavenly Demon has arrived!"

Before long, the demon army arrived outside the ruined city, and countless black shadows surged in like a tide.

The man in white shouted loudly, "Form the formation!"

The other disciples had been waiting in full battle array for a long time. With a shout from the man in white, the Yin-Yang Harmony Formation was suddenly activated, instantly enveloping everyone and forming an unbreakable barrier. Everyone stood on one side to resist the Heavenly Demon.

The war is about to start.

at the same time.

Yun Xi arrived behind Su Chen. She did not immediately step forward, but watched Su Chen display his great power from a distance.

Unfortunately, Su Chen had already noticed and didn't give Yun Xi a chance to observe.

When refining the demons, he used the power of primordial chaos to conceal his refining process, so Yunxi could only see that Su Chen cleared a space for himself wherever he passed.

All the demons vanished without a trace.

"Refine demons to replenish yourself?"

After watching for a while, Yunxi murmured, clearly guessing Su Chen's behavior.

Her brows furrowed. She had witnessed Su Chen refining demons before, and initially thought it was just a passing whim, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. But wasn't he truly afraid of the negative effects this kind of refining would have on his body?

Thinking of Su Chen's strange Yuan Power and endless strength, Yun Xi felt somewhat lost for a moment.

Completely unaware, Su Chen had already arrived in front of him, and a voice rang out: "What are you doing here?"

“I’ll help you!” Yunxi replied, regaining her senses.

Su Chen shook his head: "No need. There are more and more demons here. We should leave."

"Where?"

"Of course, we'll go back to the ruined city."

Su Chen glanced at the ruined city. Now the ruined city looked like an upside-down bowl. The outside of the city had long been covered by the Heavenly Demon, and the situation inside could not be seen.

"However, before returning, we can use these demons to eliminate some of the Heavenly Demons!"

The Heavenly Demons and the Demons are not allies; they are sworn enemies. By instigating a war between the Heavenly Demons and the Demons, they can find an opportunity to enter the ruined city.

As the man in white had said, Su Chen had also guessed that it wouldn't be long before the outside world would activate the formation to let them out.

He didn't want to be trapped in the demon's lair forever, otherwise, death would be the only outcome awaiting him.

Although this place can help him improve his strength, as he kills more and more demons, the amount of primordial energy his body can contain reaches its limit. If he continues to hunt, the improvement in strength will be negligible.

Instead of continuing to hunt demons, it's better to return to the city and hunt down the Heavenly Demons along the way—killing two birds with one stone.

Yun Xi was unaware of Su Chen's thoughts. If she knew that Su Chen was planning to hunt down the Heavenly Demons, she would surely think that Su Chen had gone mad.

After a moment of contemplation, she nodded and said, "Let's go then. While we can still enter the formation while the Heavenly Demon is still here, it will be difficult for us to get in once the formation is activated. The people from the Holy Origin Sect may not even let us in."

"I have a way to do that!" Su Chen wasn't worried at all. He would be able to enter easily by simulating the power of the array with the power of the Primordial Chaos.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi gave Su Chen a deep look, said nothing more, and followed Su Chen away.

With Su Chen leading the way, the two soon arrived at the outskirts of the ruined city and encountered the Heavenly Demon.

"Stand behind me!"

Upon seeing the Heavenly Demon's attack, Su Chen stepped forward, holding the Heaven-Severing Blade, but did not make a move. Instead, he quietly waited for the Heavenly Demon to attack.

"Look, there's someone over there!"

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat."

"Don't try to take them from me, they're mine."

Many demons discovered Su Chen and swarmed towards him, their eyes filled with greed.

They had been hungry for too long, and it was truly unbearable to be able to look at all the delicious food in the ruined city but not eat it.

Seeing Su Chen and Yun Xi now, even a mosquito is still meat, so naturally they wouldn't let it go.

Faced with so many demons, Yun Xi's heart was in her throat, but Su Chen remained calm.

When the Heavenly Demon was less than a hundred meters away from the two of them, Su Chen finally moved, and that was his mouth.

He opened his mouth slightly, and immediately ripples of sound waves spread out, transforming into sonic attacks that swept in all directions.

At the same time, the Heaven-Slaying Blade, which had completely refined the Four Seasons Bell, also began to emit strange bell sounds.

"Ah, who are you, and why do you know our Heavenly Demon Sound?"

"It hurts so much, my head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to explode..."

"Oh!"

Not only the Heavenly Demon, but even Yun Xi was affected. However, due to Su Chen's precise control, the harm she suffered was not severe.

"The Heavenly Demon Sound and the Four Seasons Bell?"

She stared blankly at Su Chen, who had given her another surprise.

He cultivated the Heavenly Demon Sound with a human body and refined the Four Seasons Bell. The power of the two combined was many times greater.

This caused the attacking demons to scream in agony and die in the blink of an eye.

"However, this has completely offended the Holy Origin Sect."

Having killed He Qiu, Su Chen had already forged a blood feud with the Holy Yuan Sect. Now that he had refined the Four Seasons Bell, the Holy Yuan Sect was even less likely to let Su Chen go.

She was worried for Su Chen's actions; he was far too audacious. She wondered how Su Chen would face the Holy Origin Sect after he left.

"If Elder Lu Hai and the others knew Su Chen's strength, I wonder if they would stand up for him."

Although the Ziyang Sect and the Shengyuan Sect are at odds, they may not necessarily turn against each other completely because of Su Chen.

In the past, Yun Xi would have thought it was normal, since Su Chen didn't have enough value yet.

However, Su Chen's strength has improved too quickly. He has only been in the sect for a short time, yet he has already reached the peak of the Divine Power realm.

Even He Qiu died tragically at his hands.

Its record is nothing short of formidable.

With such cultivation speed and strength, there is no doubt that Su Chen is a peerless genius comparable to Bi Tianyu.

He is even much stronger than Bi Tianyu.

After all, Bi Tianyu didn't have such a fast cultivation speed before.

Such a prodigy would be worth nurturing in any sect, and the Ziyang Sect is no exception.

If the Ziyang Sect recognizes Su Chen's value, they might actually protect him.

What Yunxi didn't know was that Su Chen's true level had always been at the beginner level of supernatural powers.

She had no idea what level her own strength would reach after Su Chen broke through his cultivation realm.

"Hmm? They've started refining the Heavenly Demon again?"

Although Su Chen tried his best to hide it, Yun Xi still noticed the abnormality, which surprised her again.

Perhaps because of the increased threshold, Yunxi was not surprised for long.

At this moment, Su Chen was like a sound wave transmitter. Standing still, countless demons would continuously attack him. He could kill a large number of demons and turn them into his own without changing his position.

In fact, he killed the demons faster than they attacked, which shows how many demons there were.

"Su Chen, you really have guts! Not only did you not run away, but you also dared to kill so many of my men!"

Suddenly, Ayana appeared, looking down at Su Chen and Yun Xi.

Su Chen didn't reply, but instead transmitted his voice, "If I could, I'd rather kill you!"

The primordial spirit power absorbed from killing tens of thousands of demons is probably less than that from killing a single Asura, so Su Chen naturally prefers the latter.

"Kill me? Su Chen, even if I stand right here and let you kill me, you can't. Besides, do you think you even have time to kill me now?"

Ayana chuckled, and seeing Su Chen's puzzled expression, her smile widened, and she made no attempt to hide anything.
"The grand formation to guide you has been activated. If you don't leave now, you'll never be able to get out!" (End of Chapter)
