Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

The three-headed giant demon was not foolish. They earlier obtained the secret allegiance of the Black Crane Taoist under the pretense of aiding him to prolong his life; and later, upon unexpectedly capturing the Nangong family's young mistress returning home, the three demons together hatched a venomous scheme.

Black Crane Taoist had been acquainted with the Nangong Family Head for many years and was well aware of the secret of the Nangong family's Soul Lamp. Thus, the three great demons brazenly pressured the Nangong clan while the Black Crane Taoist feigned lingering around Ling City.

As they say, major clans have no kinship; thus, it was natural to draw the Nangong family into the trap.

This maneuver, exploiting the dark side of human nature, was as seamless as antelope horns, naturally integrated, and was bound to lower the guards of all parties within Ling City to the greatest extent.

For the capture of Miss Nangong was an accident, and it was the Nangong family that sought the Black Crane Taoist themselves.

Their initial plan was to have the Black Crane deceive the City Lord of Ling City into an ambush alongside the Nangong family, and then launch a major attack on Ling City. However, they never expected the City Lord, an old fox and turtle, to firmly refuse to leave the City-Protection Array by even half a step, resisting the pressure from the Nangong clan.

At this time, Yi Chen happened to arrive in Ling City. Under the matchmaking of the City Lord, Yi Chen naturally took his place and joined the rescue team.

This was also the origin of the unusual look in Black Crane Taoist's eyes when he first saw Yi Chen.

However, at this point, the plan was still within their control because they had a secondary scheme.

That was to kill all the incoming cultivators and then have Black Crane Taoist pretend to have been defeated in battle, flee back to Ling City to report, while their Sea Lion Altar followed closely behind to launch a full-on attack.

With the Black Crane Taoist now having reached the late stage of Entering Dao, he would surely be one of the main defensive forces in Ling City. With extremely limited time for Ling City to investigate, if Black Crane Taoist turned traitor, wreaked massive havoc within the city or even assassinated the city's defenders, the combination of internal and external forces could capture the impregnable Ling City without much cost.

Of course, their plan was sound in principle, with all kinds of contingencies considered, but there was a small hiccup in execution.

That was, Yi Chen immediately slaughtered the Black Crane Taoist who was preparing to launch a sneak attack…

This put the demon cultivators of the True Blood Sect Sea Lion Altar in an awkward position since, if Black Crane Taoist was eliminated, the ecological niche he occupied would become vacant, which was why they were trying to variously intimidate and tempt Yi Chen to join them.

Since the position of the traitor didn't necessarily have to be filled by Black Crane Taoist, this cultivator who seemed more like a Bandit Cultivator than a Daoist was a fine target to pursue.

What they did not know was the terrifying killing god that now stood before them!

What Yi Chen hated most was being called an orthodox path Daoist!

And this bunch of scoundrels from the True Blood Sect nearly stepped on every single one of his detested boundaries!

The Sea Lion Demon inherently enjoyed consuming humans, leading by example and causing mortal tragedies.

The scruffy eagles delighted in toying with boys and girls, truly disgusting.

As for the Elephant Demon, it couldn't get any more abstract without explanation.

Suddenly, Yi Chen reached the pinnacle of Sacred Skill Ascension. Before the shocked eyes of the Nangong family's cultivators, his momentum began to surge, strengthen, and explosively increase.

Whoosh!

With a sudden movement, the Sea Lion's son felt an immense force assault him. The blood-colored halberd in his hands unexpectedly landed in Yi Chen's grasp, causing him to stumble.

"Damn you! You, a scaled and horned creature, can you even use a halberd?"

"You know how to use a halberd?"

"Halberd Nine·Nirvana Rebirth, Wheel of the Great Sun!"

With the Blood Halberd in hand, halberd intent soared around Yi Chen, sweeping the plains, and on the surface of the land, a terrifying sun of fury rose!

Divine Light burst forth, breaking through the darkness!

And scattered the lingering mournful wind in the sky!

As the Divine Light shattered, spreading like raindrops in all directions, countless little demons from the True Blood Sect Sea Lion Altar were torn apart like broken dolls under the saturation strike.

However, what shocked the Nangong family was that the beams of Divine Light, as if possessing eyes, did not shatter the heads of any demon.

At that moment, nearly a thousand streams of information began scrolling through Yi Chen's eyeline!

"Fools, halberds are not wielded like this!"

Yi Chen smirked, and amidst the dread of the three great Entering Dao demons, flashes of bloodlight followed, and the heads of a great eagle and elephant were immediately severed, with twin sprays of blood gushing skyward!

"No! You... you're actually a Jie Dao cultivator! How is this possible!"

"As a Jie Dao cultivator, you shamelessly slaughter our little demons. Aren't you afraid of the endless pursuit and assassination from the high-level experts of our True Blood Sect?"

At this moment, Lion Qingzi's eyes were about to split open, his previous arrogance and complacency were nowhere to be found.

"When you were slaughtering those ordinary people without any cultivation, where was your enlightenment then!"

"Haha, watch how I'll wipe out your Sea Lion Altar completely!"

"Every cause has its effect; your retribution is none other than me!"

Yi Chen slapped his Blood Halberd, immediately splitting Lion Qingzi in half at the waist. He reached out with a big hand, grabbed the mane of the sea lion spirit, and strode towards the distant Nine Layer Demon Tower!

Blood dripped from Lion Qingzi's waist, spilling all over the ground along the way!

"No, you can't do this!"

"Do you know who I am! My adoptive father is a true great power with Perfection in Dao Mastery, have you ever heard of the Blood Lion of the True Blood Sect, you can't kill me!"

"If you kill me, my adoptive father will not let you off!"

"Damn, what a fast halberd!"

While being held in Yi Chen's big hand, as he watched his subordinates and Little Demons die miserable deaths, and saw numerous heads rising to the sky, a rich fear emerged in Lion Qingzi's heart through his curses.

Facing life and death for real, he found that his previously proud beliefs were so fragile!

No, it was the Taoist in front of him that was too terrifying!

He was like a precise killing machine, walking and killing without pause, never wasting an ounce of strength. Every halberd strike was indescribably perfect, causing the slaughtered demons to die in the most intense pain!

Lion Qingzi himself also practiced the Body Refinement path of the Demon Barbarians and was versed in halberd techniques for many years. Witnessing such Halberd Technique amidst his fright, he felt like a mayfly glimpsing the vast sky!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Blood lit up amidst the night, blossoming like flowers before dawn!

The Taoist's expression was cold, using his formidable strength to start cleansing the Demon Cultivators from the True Blood Sect guarding the Nine Layer Demon Tower. Under his mental suppression, those Little Demons couldn't even twitch a finger, let alone resist or slaughter the remaining Human Race civilians!

Soon, Yi Chen had cleared the Nine Layer Demon Tower. Nonchalantly he approached a locked chamber door, throwing Lion Qingzi on the ground in front of it!

"Senior...."

"Lion Qingzi, your time has ended! I will borrow your Blood Halberd for now!"

Yi Chen grinned at the terrified Lion Qingzi on the ground, and a flash of blood light immediately bloomed in the darkness!

At this moment, a gust of Heavenly Wind came from high above, and Venus poked its head out!

Dawn was breaking!

Yi Chen pushed open the door of the secret chamber, and looking at the various 'instruments of torture' arranged inside the room, he became slightly contemplative. He took a Daoist Robe from his Storage Ring and covered the disheveled body.

Well, no matter what, he, Yi Chengzi, had still completed his task perfectly – rescuing the young lady of the Nangong Family.

As for the matter of being a couple of pounds heavier, that wasn't his fault.

After all, he only took a few Jade Coins. For such a small amount of money, he could guarantee safety but not brand new conditions!

The skies were dimly lit, with dawn yet to break!

Yi Chen stood opposite a woman wearing a cloak, leading the way ahead of them. Behind them, the cultivators of the Nangong Family were leading the remaining civilians from the Nine Layer Demon Tower in flight.

The black Magic Artifact they had used to reach this place was now the transport for the injured civilians!

"Yi... Taoist Priest, could you keep this matter a secret for Qingyue!"

"Ah? I don't know anything, what does Miss Qingyue want me to keep secret? I simply do not understand."

Yi Chen turned his head to look at the pitiful Female Cultivator in front of him. His voice softened with a hint of sympathy,

"Actually, you can't blame yourself, everything is just external possessions after all. The Buddhist mention a concept called 'White Bone Contemplation', so just think of it as if you had a dream, a nightmare, and when you wake up, everything will be fine."

"Thank you"
