How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

"Senior Fan, let's retreat, it's too dangerous, so many people have already died."

The tall man was timid, and now his face was ashen with his voice trembling slightly.

The events he encountered today were truly terrifying.

Chen Yu, who was hidden in the darkness, was like a reaper in the darkness, silently claiming one life after another.

"Retreat?"

Senior Fan's eyebrows furrowed.

Given the enemy was in the shadows and they were in the open, he was at a loss and to continue the confrontation with Chen Yu would be an unwise move.

However, he could not bring himself to make the decision to retreat!

"Hmph, coward."

He Yunwang glanced at the tall man and snorted coldly.

As a member of the "Heroes List," he was even prouder than Senior Fan and was even less willing to retreat.

He Yunwang believed that Chen Yu must have used some secret technique to temporarily possess this strange stealth ability and that it couldn't last.

"If the three of us stick together, we won't give Chen Yu any chances for a stealth attack, and his hidden technique will be rendered useless!"

He Yunwang declared in a low voice, louder than necessary, seemingly to rattle Chen Yu's composure on purpose.

"Hmm!"

Senior Fan agreed with He Yunwang's suggestion and nodded in approval.

So far, Chen Yu's killings had all been sudden stealth attacks on individual Sky Sea Realm cultivators.

With the three great Sky Sea Realm cultivators gathered together, if Chen Yu dared to launch a stealth attack, the combined counterattack of the three would surely kill him, wouldn't it?

In the night, the three great Sky Sea Realm cultivators swiftly moved closer together.

In the darkness, Chen Yu watched this scene unfold.

Though he possessed the bloodline of the Night Winged Wolf, making him nearly unbeatable among his peers in the dark, and capable of killing beyond his level, his enemies weren't fools; they'd also find ways to counter him.

Now, He Yunwang and the others changed their strategy, sticking together.

"So you think I can't do anything if you group up?"

Chen Yu laughed silently to himself, and quietly began to move.

"Chen Yu, let's see how long you can hide!"

He Yunwang shouted.

After a while, Chen Yu hadn't made another move, and their courage gradually grew, believing their method was correct.

As long as the three of them stayed together, Chen Yu wouldn't dare to ambush them.

But if Chen Yu were to run, they'd have no recourse.

Compared to a direct retreat, this outcome was somewhat better.

"Senior Fan, Chen Yu might have already left."

The tall man spoke up.

His words had just finished when the three sensed something simultaneously.

Boom~

The ground shook, dust rose, and from the earth below, hundreds of black bones suddenly burst forth.

A dense forest of black bones, numbering in the hundreds, shot towards the sky.

The black bones emanated a chilling and domineering demonic aura that made He Yunwang and the others feel a crisis and dodge in all directions.

This "bone forest" was created by Chen Yu using the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword, which, now fully restored, allowed Chen Yu to fully wield its power, including some special maneuvers.

At this moment, Chen Yu was clinging to one of the black bones.

Due to the sudden situation, He Yunwang and the others did not notice Chen Yu.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu waited for the right moment, then his figure burst forth, turning into a dark shadow and pouncing towards the tall man.

"You… ghost!"

The tall man's body hair stood on end suddenly, sensing a deadly crisis.

When he saw Chen Yu's face, he was scared out of his wits, his complexion turning pale with fear, but he still reacted immediately, swinging his sword to strike.

Dingpu!

Chen Yu was fearless, pouncing like a fierce ghost, taking on the tall man's Sword Dao attack.

The next instant, Chen Yu reached the tall man and punched into his chest, blood spraying out.

With Chen Yu's physique, as long as he got close to the enemy's body, plus the instantaneous burst of power from the Night Winged Wolf bloodline, it was enough to instantly kill someone in the early stages of the Sky Sea Realm!

After a successful strike, Chen Yu quickly withdrew amid the chaos.

"Die!"

Senior Fan, chasing from behind, attacked with a sword dance, and hundreds of starlight Sword Qi burst out, illuminating the night sky.

At this moment, Senior Fan briefly saw Chen Yu's appearance and was immensely shocked.

"Could he be of a different race?"

This thought flashed through his mind.

"Only two left now."

Facing Senior Fan's onslaught, Chen Yu didn't retreat but advanced, charging forward.

A trail of black light rushed into the vast starlight Sword Qi, and where Chen Yu passed, a series of resounding booms were heard.

"So strong!"

Senior Fan felt a heavy burden on his heart as he wielded his sword to slash again, the heavy starlight drawing a long, frigid moonlight Sword Qi that cut through the air.

It was a full-force blow, extraordinary and resonant.

However, to deal with Chen Yu, who possessed the Night Winged Wolf bloodline, it was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Remember, when Chen Yu, Lu Ling, Clown, and others had surrounded the Night Winged Wolf, only a few lucky strikes hit their mark.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu unleashed his space domain, combined with the agility and quickness bestowed by his bloodline, to dodge the massive moonlight Sword Qi.

Approaching Senior Fan, Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist and the Demon-Annihilating Claw were both unleashed with unrestrained ferocity, crushing everything in their path.

Faced with such a fierce Chen Yu, Senior Fan didn't dare to resist straightforwardly, hastily retreating!

He knew Chen Yu's advantage and didn't dare to let Chen Yu come too close.

"Let's join forces!"

From afar, He Yunwang's voice suddenly came. He moved with extreme speed, like a burst of purple wind sweeping in.

But at the same time, he discovered that from underground, a black bone sword flew out, closely following him.

Seeing this bone sword, He Yunwang knew that the bone forest they had just passed through was created by this Spiritual Artifact.

Could this be the treasure that Chen Yu had obtained from beneath Burning Sun Mountain?

Whoosh!

The bone sword traced a dark arc of light in the night sky and landed in Chen Yu's hand.

Slash!

Chen Yu's figure burst forth, sweeping his sword across, unleashing an extremely dark Demon Sword Qi, violently attacking.

With the bloodline of the Night Winged Wolf and the top-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword, Chen Yu's strike was so strong that even those in the Mid-stage Sky Sea Realm could only retreat in defeat.

Boom! Boom!

In the void, two figures were sent flying by the sword qi, tumbling awkwardly, their forms thrown into the air.

Senior Fan was at the peak of Early-stage Sky Sea Realm, and He Yunwang was a person on the "Heaven's Pride List," also with the combat strength of the peak of Early-stage Sky Sea Realm.

At this moment, the two of them joined forces, only to be blown away by a single strike from Chen Yu, heavily injured.

Such an opportunity, Chen Yu would not pass up.

His speed exploded, like a pitch-black sharp sword, charging towards Senior Fan.

Ding ding!

After a clashing of swords, Senior Fan's chest was penetrated by the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword, Demonic Qi infiltrating his organs and killing him.

A Peak of Early-stage Sky Sea Realm, fallen!

"How... how is this possible!"

He Yunwang trembled as he saw Senior Fan's body fall, his cloak fluttering as he immediately retreated.

He could never have expected such a situation tonight!

Chen Yu had seemingly become a different person, like a shadow of death, coming without a trace and leaving with a life!

"He Yunwang, I challenge you to take your place on the 'Heaven's Pride List'!"

Chen Yu's cold, low voice came from behind.

"If you want the ranking, I will give it to you, just spare my life!"

He Yunwang immediately said.

"I prefer taking it myself."

Chen Yu's voice, like emanating from Nine Nether Hell, sent chills through He Yunwang's body, causing him to burn his True Yuan and desperately flee.

In terms of speed, Chen Yu was not outdone by He Yunwang.

At a certain moment, Chen Yu executed his Space Palm Technique, the dark grey palm strike accurately hitting He Yunwang, sending him reeling back.

In this instant, Chen Yu closed in on He Yunwang, a shadow of death looming over him.

The world turned dark, and He Yunwang felt as if he had arrived in Hell.

"No, don't kill me, spare my life…"

He Yunwang begged for mercy.

Thud!

Chen Yu's expression unchanged, his sword pierced through He Yunwang's head.

From then on, Chen Yu had slain all those who lay in wait.

Whoosh!

The bloodline of the Night Winged Wolf faded, and Chen Yu's complexion slowly returned to normal, which he found slightly uncomfortable.

"With my current strength, there are almost no opponents in the same realm, even Peak of Early-stage Sky Sea Realm can do battle."

If he stimulated the bloodline of the Night Winged Wolf, not even Mid-stage Sky Sea Realm could make him fear!

However, the bloodline diminished with each use, and it couldn't be exposed recklessly, or else it might arouse suspicion or even be mistaken for someone from the Blood Race.

Next, Chen Yu collected the spoils of battle and returned to the Cultivation Spirit Hall.

"Is that the 'Purple Cloud Cloak'? Is that the Purple-clothed Demon He Yunwang?"

A woman gazed at a figure entering the Cultivation Spirit Hall, slightly surprised.

But when the man approached, she realized he was not He Yunwang!

"Heh heh!"

Chen Yu smirked, wearing He Yunwang's Purple Cloud Cloak as he walked within the Cultivation Spirit Hall.

After making a round, he headed towards the jester's shop.

The jester was repairing a puppet when he suddenly turned to look at Chen Yu, his eyes settling on the cloak behind Chen Yu.

"Is it all settled?"

The jester asked, somewhat astonished.

He had sensed that those who were watching him had all left.

But it had not even been two hours, and Chen Yu was already back to replace them. That was too quick.

"Of course."

Chen Yu smirked.

"Three days later, if there are no unusual circumstances, then you will have eliminated all the hidden dangers and the deal will be considered complete."

The jester was half-doubtful.

He had already revised his opinion of Chen Yu, but still did not believe Chen Yu could have killed everyone in such a short time.

Perhaps there would be some who slipped through the net, and then it would be the jester's gain.

The next day.

The matter of the Purple Cloud Cloak, a treasure of the Purple-clothed Demon, changing hands spread across the Cultivation Spirit Hall.

"The Purple Cloud Cloak has a new owner; He Yunwang must be dead. It's just too bad we didn't witness the battle between Chen Yu and He Yunwang!"

"I had thought He Yunwang had made great progress in strength, and that during the Heaven's Pride List ranking battle, he might even climb higher. Who could have predicted his death."

"However, I believe Chen Yu must have relied on someone else's help to kill He Yunwang. He definitely won't make it onto the 'Heaven's Pride List' in half a year."

Regarding He Yunwang's death, some admired Chen Yu, while others believed Chen Yu did not win by his own strength.

After all, no one knew the details of the battle.

But according to the rules, whoever killed someone on the "Heaven's Pride List" could take their place.

In a few days' time, the news of Chen Yu joining the "Heaven's Pride List" would spread through all the families and sects in the Southern Domain.

Three days later, Chen Yu went to the jester's shop.

Indeed, over the past few days, the jester had not detected anything unusual and thus handed over the Primordial Stone willingly.
