Witch, don't do anything reckless!

In sight, Liu Xu, dressed in a dark, tight-fitting outfit, stood on the wall with a graceful and tall figure that exuded a cool and aloof aura, looking down at people with an invisible sense of oppression.

Beneath her dark hair, her exquisitely beautiful features and delicately shaped face perfectly showcased her aloof and detached demeanor.

Especially her almond-shaped eyes, which seemed to see through everything, were fixed on Li Chuqiu in the alley.

cold!

It's so cold!

Just by looking into each other's eyes, you can see the arrogance that keeps people at arm's length!

The woman before him was none other than the stunningly beautiful woman Chen San'er had described, the deputy commander parachuted in from the Tianxuan Division of Yuhua City.

Not only does it have a powerful background, but its strength is also unfathomable.

Rumor has it that he has already entered the middle three realms at a young age. The blood demon that almost took half of Li Chuqiu's life was easily killed by him with just an elegant flick of his finger... This made Li Chuqiu extremely envious.

Even immortals are nothing more than this!

"Hey, what's your name?"

At this moment, Xu Jinghong, who was on the other side of the wall, saw Li Chuqiu sitting on the ground and immediately became interested.

"Back to your lord, Li Chuqiu."

Li Chuqiu answered with his hands clasped in greeting, as was his custom.

Xu Jinghong said in surprise, "You've got some skills, kid. This Blood Demon is an old monster that's been famous for over a hundred years. Ordinary people would probably wet their pants in fear if they saw it. Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Li Chuqiu immediately said solemnly, "As the head constable of the Tianxuan Division, it is my duty to slay demons and protect the safety of the people."

"Tsk, quite enlightened, huh?"

Xu Jinghong clicked his tongue, looking Li Chuqiu up and down with amusement: "You have potential. Consider it meritorious service for you to slay the Blood Demon today. Go and claim your reward from your Deputy Commander Liu later!"

Li Chuqiu looked at the cold woman on the wall. Her expression was indifferent and unpredictable. "What happened today has nothing to do with you. I will deal with the lives involved later. Don't spread the matter of the Blood Demon. Since you are injured, you should go back and rest as soon as possible."

"The Heavenly Mystery Division will naturally assess your merits and reward you accordingly!"

She left with a casual remark.

Xu Jinghong was used to this, smiled at Li Chuqiu, and followed her away.

"Did you see that guy just now? He's only at the lower third realm, yet he managed to injure the remnant soul of the Blood Demon. His blade is incredibly fast, you can't even tell what technique he's using… swift, accurate, and ruthless, his attacks are decisive and swift, he's really something!"

On the way, Xu Jinghong felt somewhat emotional.

He had witnessed the entire battle between Li Chuqiu and the Blood Demon. He never expected that an ordinary constable of the Heavenly Profound Division, who was only at the lower three realms, could actually injure the Blood Demon's remnant soul clone.

That guy's moves were ruthless and decisive, without the slightest hesitation... This is definitely not something that can be mastered overnight, nor is it a skill that can be acquired by practicing on a wooden stake.

This is rather strange. How could a mere constable have so much experience fighting enemies?

"How could such a talent be just a lowly constable? Shouldn't we cultivate and train him properly? Who knows, he might become a capable assistant for the Tianxuan Division in the future." Xu Jinghong looked at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu remained calm, recalling the fight in the alley just now. After a long while, she shook her head slightly: "He's no good."

Why?

Xu Jinghong was puzzled.

Liu Xu said calmly, "The pill he just ate was a Qi Condensation Pill specially made by the Tianxuan Division."

Xu Jinghong was taken aback, only then remembering that the guy had taken a pill when he fought the Blood Demon.

"The Qi Condensation Pill is a special pill within the Heavenly Profound Division for those without a 'Sea of ​​Consciousness.' It allows one to quickly gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use in combating demons. However, this pill has a significant impact on cultivators, and only those without spiritual roots can use it."

Liu Xu's tone was neither cold nor indifferent, but Xu Jinghong immediately understood everything.

Without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate. No matter how strong or powerful one's martial arts talent is, one will never be able to cross the threshold of the lower three realms in this lifetime.

That guy was able to withstand the remnant soul of the Blood Demon with the body of an ordinary person, which shows that he was extraordinary in both courage and skill. And after taking drugs, he was able to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sever the Blood Demon's arm, which further demonstrates that this young man's martial arts skills are particularly outstanding.

If he can cultivate, the world will likely have another genius in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinghong couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and sighed, "Indeed, it's a pity..."

……

Inside the alley, Li Chuqiu sat on the ground and rested for a while, her internal energy gradually calming down.

Looking at the chaotic and bloody scene, and the 'Great Demon' whose body had been completely destroyed, he sighed.

Losing big!

When the great demon fled, it abandoned the body it had just possessed. Its remnant soul was then taken away by the deputy commander Liu and annihilated on the spot, leaving not a trace.

Having finally encountered such a powerful demon, Li Chuqiu had even taken the necessary medicine, preparing to fight the blood demon to the death. In the end, after all that hard work, she gained nothing.

The losses have been maximized!

Silently cursing the deputy commander Liu in his heart, Li Chuqiu stood up, sheathed his long sword, and turned to leave when he suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation in the air caused by the previously dissipated demonic energy.

There was only a slight fluctuation, which would be difficult for an ordinary person to detect. But Li Chuqiu was extremely sensitive to the aura of demons. He suddenly turned his head and stared at the two corpses next to him that had been drained of their life force.

Is there still demonic energy remaining?

Li Chuqiu immediately drew his sword and cautiously approached the two corpses. At the same time, one of the two corpses, which had been dead, suddenly trembled. Immediately afterwards, a wisp of black smoke emerged from the corpse's nostrils, condensing into black mist in the air and drifting out of the alley.

It seems to want to escape.

"So you were hiding here?!"

Li Chuqiu was immediately overjoyed. The great demon from before still had a wisp of its remnant soul hidden in the corpse, trying to escape unscathed? If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have really gotten away with it.

These things from the demon race are indeed cunning one after another.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Li Chuqiu leaped forward, slashing with his sword. The swords of the Tianxuan Division were all made of special materials, naturally effective against demons. In addition, the effects of the 'Qi Condensation Pill' that Li Chuqiu had just taken had not yet worn off.

The blood demon was merely a remnant soul clone. Having just been severely injured, most of its remaining soul had been annihilated by Liu Xu, leaving only a wisp of consciousness, rendering it powerless. Now, cleaved in two by Li Chuqiu's blade, a piercing sizzling sound emanated from the black mist, as if its soul were being scorched by flames, accompanied by a sharp, agonizing scream: "You scoundrel, how dare you!"

But it was all in vain. After the screams, the remnant soul of the Blood Demon completely dissipated.

Only a trace of invisible aura remained in the air, which, like a thread of green silk, burrowed into Li Chuqiu's skin from the black mist of the Blood Demon and was gradually absorbed by his body.

Li Chuqiu, who had previously exhausted a lot of energy, regained her radiance. The minor injuries she had sustained earlier were now completely healed, and she felt relaxed all over.

This is a good deal!

As expected of a great demon, even with only a wisp of remnant soul power remaining, it still provides great nourishment.

This is Li Chuqiu's special ability... He can absorb the remaining spiritual power from the dead demons and then convert this spiritual power into "nourishment" for his body, allowing him to quickly recover from his injuries and return to his peak condition.

Over the years, no matter how serious the injuries Li Chuqiu suffered, even when she was on the verge of death, as long as she could absorb the residual spiritual power of these demons, even the most severe injuries could be quickly healed.

At the same time, these mental powers can further enhance his physical qualities, providing Li Chuqiu with abilities far exceeding his own level.

This is undoubtedly an incredible ability!

This extraordinary ability also gives Li Chuqiu a fatal flaw...

He is incapable of spiritual cultivation!

……

Meanwhile, in a mountain cave outside Yuhua City.

"puff!"

A figure sitting cross-legged inside the cave, shrouded in a black robe, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"How dare you, you brat... I'm not finished with you!"

Beneath the black robe, a pair of furious, bloodshot eyes were revealed, filled with gritted teeth.

The complete destruction of his clone meant that not only were all his previous efforts wasted, but his already damaged body was in even worse condition.

All our efforts were in vain!

Thinking of this, the anger in his eyes intensified.

"..."
