If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

Mo Chengyue did not give the other party time to react.

"Senior Sister Yu, just keep those four on the right flank occupied and don't let any of them escape."

"Senior Sister Su, four on the left flank, one sword at a time, prioritize efficiency."

"Give me the front side."

The moment Yu Jianhuan's rose-purple spiritual power bloomed at her fingertips, the concealment talisman shattered.

The spiritual energy fluctuations of the early-stage Core Formation peak were released without any concealment.

The pupils of the four demon generals on the right wing suddenly contracted.

Yu Jianhuan has already made a move.

Instead of charging head-on, she cut into the middle of the four demons in a strange arc.

The rose-purple spiritual energy spread out from her body like a snake, not attacking or killing, but simply entwining, adhering, and interfering.

The four demon generals swung their swords, slashing and cutting, but the spiritual snake shadows, once severed, would regrow, impossible to eradicate and instead becoming increasingly entangled.

They found themselves slowed down, their spiritual energy circulation disrupted by the purple threads.

Yu Jianhuan stood in the middle of the four, her phoenix eyes curving into crescents, her smile so alluring that it caused the demon warriors to momentarily lose their senses.

In that instant, a peak-level demon general turned to flee.

Yu Jianhuan's smile vanished, and her rose-purple spiritual energy abruptly receded.

The spiritual energy threads wrapped around the demon's legs tightened like steel cables, pulling him to the ground.

"Why are you running?"

Her voice was sweet and coquettish, but her methods were ruthless and cold.

"My sister hasn't had enough fun yet."

Left wing.

Su Qingying's concealment talisman also shattered the moment she drew her sword.

When the Azure Spirit Sword is drawn, there are no unnecessary movements—no building up of momentum, no lifting of the hand.

The emerald green sword energy swirled thinly across the blade for a moment before disappearing.

Because the sword has already arrived.

The top-ranked demon general in the mid-stage of the Demon General realm didn't even see the angle from which the sword came.

The Azure Spirit Sword sliced ​​across his Adam's apple, the arc of demonic blood still lingering in the air, as Su Qingying's figure swept past him.

The second demon general later attempted to parry with his sword.

The moment the serrated scimitar clashed with the Azure Spirit Sword, the scimitar broke in two.

The Azure Spirit Sword's level of refinement is beyond what a weapon of a Demon General level can withstand.

The broken sword flew out along with the arm holding it, and Su Qingying's sword tip pierced into the location of the opponent's inner core.

The third and fourth demon generals finally reacted in the gap between the fall of their first two companions, and raised their weapons to defend themselves back to back.

Su Qingying stopped three steps away, her Azure Spirit Sword held upright in front of her, the emerald green sword energy re-condensing on the blade.

She glanced in the direction she was facing—Mo Chengyue was locked in combat with the leader of the goat-horned demons and four demon generals.

She didn't delay.

With one step, the Azure Spirit Sword transformed into two sword energies—one straight and one slanted, one high and one low.

Two demon generals blocked one of them, but Su Qingying herself had already circled around to the side and behind one of them.

The Azure Spirit Sword pierced through his chest from behind.

The last demon general turned around in terror and tried to run away, but Su Qingying's sword energy chased him for seven zhang and pierced through the back of his head.

The four demon generals, from drawing their swords to sheathing them, took less than ten breaths.

The main battlefield.

Mo Chengyue faced the greatest pressure—the leader of the goat-horned group was at the early stage of the Demon Commander realm, equivalent to the early stage of the Core Formation realm.

Although he was not as strong as the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, he had four demon generals supporting him.

Mo Chengyue did not use the Sun, Moon and Man Three Swords Formation—the formation could not be formed when the three fought separately.

He used the simplest tactics: using talismans to wear them down and defeating them one by one.

Three mid-level lightning talismans were thrown at the four demon generals on the outer perimeter, and the lightning exploded, scattering them.

The leader of the goat-horned creatures seized the opportunity to pounce, his serrated scimitar slashing down with intense demonic energy.

Mo Chengyue dodged to the side, unleashing the third move of the Rain Flower Sword Technique: Rain Hitting the Banana Leaves.

The sword energy was contained and not released outwards, sliding along the opponent's blade, and with a backhand stroke, it sliced ​​off a section of the goat's horn.

The goat-horned leader roared furiously, his blood surging as he unleashed a brief burst of combat power exceeding that of a Demon General in his early stages, and his sword speed suddenly increased.

Mo Chengyue calmly took two steps back, leading the other party to move towards the right flank.

Yu Jianhuan had just finished dealing with four demon generals.

The four demon warriors were bound like dumplings by rose-purple spiritual energy threads, unable to move.

Yu Jianhuan casually twisted and pulled the spiritual energy threads, and the necks of the four demon generals thudded simultaneously.

She flicked the demonic blood off her fingers and glanced at Mo Chengyue.

When the leader of the goat-horned group suddenly lunged forward and swung his knife again, Mo Chengyue suddenly retreated and jumped back.

He activated a talisman in his left hand—not an attack talisman, but a spare talisman left over from the previous blocking array.

A wall of spiritual energy suddenly rose up behind the goat horn, blocking any escape route.

The leader of the goat-horned group had just turned his head to glance at the spiritual energy wall behind him when he turned back.

The sword energy of the Azure Spirit Sword had already shot in from three zhang away on his right—Su Qingying launched a coordinated attack after dealing with the left flank.

The goat horn raised its knife to block the sword energy, but it couldn't stop Mo Chengyue from simultaneously thrusting out from the front with the fifth move of the Rain Flower Sword Technique, Startling Rain.

The sword tip pierced the goat's horn-shaped chest, and the true essence of the ancient golden elixir poured into the opponent's body, shattering the demonic energy circulation of the early-stage Demon Commander realm from within.

The last expression that flashed in the eyes of the goat-horned leader was not anger, but disbelief.

He never understood how three seemingly low-level human cultivators could possess such combat strength and teamwork.

His body fell heavily onto the withered grass.

The plains returned to quiet.

Mo Chengyue sheathed his sword and looked around.

Thirteen demon corpses were scattered across the battlefield, which had been cut apart by the rune array.

From the moment the first talisman was thrown to the fall of the last demon, the entire battle lasted less than the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea.

He crouched down and began skillfully rummaging through the storage bag of the goat horn leader.

Yu Jianhuan and Su Qingying each went to clean up the corpses in their respective areas.

One by one, the magic cores were removed, and the storage bags were checked and collected one by one.

Mo Chengyue spoke as he rummaged through the items.

"Senior Sister Su's harvesting speed on the left flank is acceptable, but the pace of dealing with the third and fourth enemies could be further compressed."

"When you killed the second one, you wasted half a breath by turning around. It would have been faster to use sword energy to pursue and kill him directly than to turn back."

Su Qingying paused for a moment, then did not refute.

She recalled that step and realized there was indeed an extra step.

Mo Chengyue turned to look at Yu Jianhuan.

"Senior Sister Yu's right-wing containment is fine, but your spiritual energy threads spread too widely when entangling the first person, consuming more energy than expected."

"Next time, focus on the legs and the hand holding the knife; you don't need to wrap yourself up like a dumpling."

"That's so boring."

Yu Jianhuan wiped the blood off her fingers, unconcerned.

Mo Chengyue ignored her and continued talking.

"The biggest problem is that I dragged things out for too long."

"If Goat Horn's strength had been half a level higher, I wouldn't have been able to hold off all five of them by myself."

"Next time a similar situation arises, Senior Sister Su should first finish off the left flank and then immediately support the front. Senior Sister Yu's harassment zone remains unchanged."

He put the last magic core into his storage bag, stood up, and took out several thin gray talismans from the bag—ash-dissolving talismans.

Thirteen ash-dissolving talismans were affixed one by one to the thirteen demon corpses.

In a flash of inspiration, the corpses, bloodstains, and remnants of spiritual energy left from the battle all turned to ashes, which were then scattered by the dry winds of the plain.

Only slightly disturbed withered grass remained on the ground, with no signs of a struggle.

Mo Chengyue checked the scene one last time to make sure nothing was missed.

"Let's go. Continue eastward."

The three of them affixed new invisibility talismans, and their presence once again vanished into the wind across the plains.

Their steps were faster than before, and their teamwork was more seamless.

There was no trace left on the plain—it was as if no one had ever been there.
