Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Yellow sand flew everywhere.

On the official road, the sound of horses' hooves grew louder as they approached.

As the sun set, under his straw hat, Luo Chen raised his eyes and squinted slightly, looking at a green mountain at the end of his vision.

The green mountains are tall and majestic, standing between heaven and earth, reaching straight into the clouds.

Therefore, it was named Yunwu Mountain (Cloud and Mist Mountain).

Upon receiving the assessment assignment at noon, Luo Chen immediately headed straight for Cloud Mist Mountain.

He didn't tell Uncle Liu, so as not to worry his family.

Only after traveling a hundred miles from Qingyuan City did I witness the hardships of human life.

Skeletons were scattered everywhere along the roadside, and the refugees coming and going were emaciated, with sallow and numb faces.

There are quite a few people selling their children on the roadside.

Demons wreak havoc in the world, and human life is as worthless as grass.

Luo Chen gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, his heart surging with emotion.

……

At the foot of Yunwu Mountain.

A village, secluded from the world, tranquil and beautiful.

But today, all the peace was shattered, and dozens of villagers gathered in the open space at the village entrance, squatting on the ground and trembling.

In front of the crowd, a tall figure sat cross-legged on a boulder.

It was a demon with a snake's head and a human body; golden light seemed to flow between its vertical pupils as they closed.

Its massive mouth split open to the back of its head, swallowing a village hunter whole, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of bones cracking—the sound of its abdominal muscles squeezing and crushing its prey.

The villagers were terrified and trembled with fear.

The hunter was a renowned expert in their village, capable of drawing a 500-pound bow, yet he was utterly killed by the demon without any resistance.

Despair gripped the crowd, and the elderly village chief knelt tremblingly on the ground, pleading.

"Eat me if you want, but spare the villagers a chance to survive."

The snake demon lowered its vertical pupils and looked at the old man kneeling before it, a look of disdain flashing in its eyes.

A harsh sound came from his throat.

"You're old and frail, get out!"

The snake demon's tail lashed out from under its clothes, instantly striking the old village chief.

With the sound of flesh and blood exploding, the old village chief's body flew backward into the crowd, spitting out blood, and he was clearly not going to survive.

The villagers screamed in alarm, their eyes filled with fear, and they all rushed over.

They prayed that the villagers who had fled that morning would bring reinforcements.

Some young people roared and charged at the snake demon with wooden sticks and shovels.

"Ants!"

The snake demon's eyes showed even more disdain, and it swung its tail, creating a whooshing sound.

In an instant, several figures were sent flying backward.

With a flick of its tail, the snake delivered a young man into its mouth.

Fear and despair spread among the villagers.

The snake demon stopped its slaughter, digested the attack for a moment, and looked anxious.

It was on the verge of breaking through, otherwise it wouldn't have risked its life to come and devour blood.

Unfortunately, the blood and energy of an ordinary person are simply not enough for him to break through.

It can only be accumulated through quantity.

If only a human martial artist would come knocking on my door right now!

The abundant qi and blood within human martial artists are a great tonic for demons.

Gradually, a hint of doubt flashed in the snake demon's eyes.

He turned to look into the depths of the muddy path behind him.

There, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.

As the sound of horses' hooves grew louder, the villagers heard it too, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts.

"Were they government-affiliated martial artists brought by Dazhuang and his group?"

"We're saved."

"..."

The snake demon flicked its scarlet tongue, and beneath its wide robes, its snake tail swayed, revealing its inner unease.

suddenly,

The two vertical pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

A long sword imbued with intense and domineering energy arrived in the blink of an eye.

boom!

The long blade whistled through the air, piercing the snake demon's head in the blink of an eye, and shooting towards the mountains and forests behind with unparalleled force.

Its head was pierced, and its snake tail twisted and coiled wildly in mid-air, its painful roars echoing through the mountains and forests.

The long sword, carrying the serpent demon's enormous body, crashed through dozens of trees before finally stopping.

On the path, amidst the shocked gazes of the villagers.

Wearing a bamboo hat and dressed in a black robe, Luo Chen rode a fine horse to approach.

Luo Chen looked at the blood and severed limbs on the ground, and at the numb yet expectant eyes of the villagers.

He thought of the villagers' corpses he had buried six years ago, and their eyes seemed to appear right in front of him.

They didn't say much.

Luo Chen took a step and his figure rushed towards the mountain forest at lightning speed.

The fact that there was no information about killing the demon in his mind meant that the snake demon was not yet dead.

In the mountains and forests.

Inside the rubble pit, with its head pierced, the snake demon revealed its true form: a giant python over ten meters long, twisting and coiling within the pit.

His agonizing screams made it difficult for him to calm down.

The martial artist's extremely powerful and yang energy penetrated its head and invaded its body, like rubbing salt into a wound.

Roar!

The giant python roared, trying to get up and escape.

Suddenly, a huge fist came down from the sky and slammed into the snake's body.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the head slammed violently to the ground.

Luo Chen stomped the snake demon under his foot, making it feel like a mountain. The terrifying force made the snake demon feel desperate.

With both hands gripping the hilt, the long sword was drawn amidst the snake demon's despairing gaze.

With a flash of cold light, the serpent demon's enormous head was severed.

Crush them!

The snake demon, who was about to enter the Bone Forging stage, was killed.

[Slaying a serpent demon at the first level (Skin Refining) and stealing 38 years of its lifespan.]

Lifespan: 16/121.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and looked at his life force, which had been replenished, and felt a sense of security.

He sheathed his long sword, took out a tinderbox from his bosom, and set the demon snake's body ablaze.

Demon flesh and blood are inedible, but some precious materials can be used to forge treasures.

However, this newly acquired snake demon clearly did not possess such precious materials.

He put the snake demon's head in a cloth bag, bulging it out, and carried it on his back.

This is his token of passing the test; it can't be allowed to go wrong.

Half an hour later.

Looking at the serpent demon's corpse, which had been burned to ashes, Luo Chen buried it.

He patted the dirt off his clothes and walked out of the woods.

The entrance to the village.

The villagers saw that there was no movement for a long time in the depths of the forest.

They didn't dare go in to check, and could only wait anxiously outside.

"That young hero severely injured the demon from a great distance; he should be fine."

"That beast must be dead. Young hero, you are dealing with the body."

The old village chief was treated and his life was saved, but he had several broken ribs in his chest and was still unable to move.

Upon hearing footsteps, the villagers all looked on nervously.

Upon seeing that it was Luo Chen who came out, they all stepped forward and knelt down, expressing their gratitude profusely.

"It's just my duty, everyone, there's no need for that."

"This village is nestled in the mountains and forests. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by wild beasts and demons?"

"Alas, we can drive away wild beasts that attack us, but when it comes to demons and monsters, we can only seek help from the government."

"Then why don't you move away from here?"

"Young hero, you may not know this, but our ancestors have lived in the village for generations and still have farmland to cultivate. If we were to go to the town, how would we survive?"

"..."

Luo Chen fell silent for a moment, then sighed inwardly.

Knowing that demons were causing trouble, he rushed over without stopping, but it was still too late; many people in the village had died.

He declined the villagers' offer of help.

Under the moonlight, we headed towards Qingyuan City.
