I became a martial arts saint while playing games.

Gu Yan broke through the main gate and stepped into the rocky cave, where he bumped right into the little demon who had come to investigate after hearing the noise.

The little demon was short and chubby, with a blue face and fangs. Upon seeing a stranger, it was startled at first, its bulging eyes widening as if it couldn't understand why a human had entered its cave. It even forgot to warn anyone at first.

Before he could react, he was about to shout, but just as a cry of surprise was about to escape his throat, he felt a chill on his neck.

The little demon's head rolled to the ground like a paper mandarin duck with a broken string. Even after it hit the ground, its eyes were still wide open and its mouth was agape, its face full of astonishment. Blood gushed from its cavity, and it didn't even see how the other party drew the sword until it died.

Without lingering, Gu Yan walked straight inside before the little demon's corpse fell to the ground.

The demons noticed someone had intruded and immediately let out a few exclamations, which were followed by a great uproar among the demons.

Four little demons, wielding knives and axes, howled and charged towards us, each with a ferocious expression and an overwhelming aura of malice.

Gu Yan remained calm and composed, his steps never faltering. He simply raised his hand and waved it lightly, unleashing the inner energy within his palm.

Although he and the four little demons were still three or five zhang apart, the power of his inner energy allowed him to use the "Shifting Heaven and Earth" technique as if he were face-to-face with them.

The four little demons felt an immense force appear out of nowhere, and their bodies involuntarily staggered and lunged forward, their knives and axes uncontrollably striking their companions beside them.

With their cultivation levels, these demons had no time to react. Immediately, screams filled the air as the four demons turned on each other, dying at the hands of their own teammates before even reaching the enemy. Their deaths were shrouded in mystery.

Gu Yan took a few more steps when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound overhead, and a green-haired monster leaped down from a crevice in the rock at the top of the cave.

He raised the ghost-head saber high, and using the momentum of the fall, the blade created a whistling wind as it cleaved straight at Gu Yan's head.

It turned out that this demon was quite cunning. Hearing that someone dared to trespass into their demon cave, he guessed that the person must be no ordinary opponent. Therefore, instead of rushing out to fight with his companions, he climbed up to a high place in advance, wedged himself in a crevice in the rocks, and waited for the person to pass by before swooping down to kill him with a single blow.

His leap was cunning and ruthless, executed with a tricky angle.

But Gu Yan didn't even raise his head, his gaze still fixed straight ahead. He didn't even glance at the demon, and simply struck out with a palm. His inner energy surged, and he used the technique of shifting the universe. The green-haired demon fell into the air, and when it felt the palm wind coming from him, it suddenly felt its downward momentum change from vertical to horizontal.

The Green-haired Demon was already falling very rapidly, and Gu Yan's palm strike deflected and redirected its force. Combined with the palm force Gu Yan himself had generated, its downward momentum became extremely formidable.

The green-haired demon let out a series of screams, lost control of its body, and charged out like a spinning top, cutting through everything in its path. It hit two lesser demons who couldn't dodge in time, and the three demons tangled together amidst their screams, but still hadn't exhausted their strength and continued to crash straight into the wall.

With a loud bang, the blue-haired demon's brains splattered, turning him into a pile of minced meat on the spot, taking two of his teammates with him.

This is what happens to old silver coins.

Although Gu Yan didn't even glance at the other party, this slap was somewhat driven by personal grudges.

Although he handled this situation with ease, back when he first came to this chaotic cave during the early days of the game, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and was ambushed by this old bastard. He was so angry that he slammed his keyboard and gave a warm greeting to the old scoundrel game planner's entire family.

At this moment, Gu Yan did not turn his head, but when he heard the green-haired demon smash into a pulp on the stone wall behind him, he still felt a sense of pleasure.

I told you to stake out the location, to ambush people.

Let's see if you'll still be squatting in your next life?

Gu Yan strode forward with ease, casually taking action whenever he encountered a demon.

Or it could be the fierce sword moves of the Thirteen Swords of Subduing Demons, where every flash of sword light would separate a demon from its head.

Or, with a slight wave of the hand, the technique of shifting the universe is unleashed, causing the demons to trample and kill each other.

The cave was filled with howls of demons and splattered blood. Not a single demon could withstand even a single move from him, let alone retaliate. The situation was devoid of any real fighting; it was a one-sided massacre.

As the battle raged on, the demons could neither withstand his fierce swordsmanship nor comprehend his bizarre methods that led them to self-harm. Terrified, they fled in disarray, and no demon dared to fight him again.

Gu Yan unleashed his sword and palm strikes, slaying several more demons in succession. However, he did not deliberately pursue those who occasionally managed to escape, letting them go on their own.

Because these demons cannot escape after all.

Instead, they run and run, finally seeing the cave entrance, and just when they think they've finally escaped and are overjoyed, they will despairingly bump into Shen Qinghan, who is guarding the entrance.

A glimmer of hope amidst despair, only to have that hope dashed back into despair, is a hundred times more agonizing than a simple, tragic death.

After a short while, the demons in the cave were either dead or had fled, and there were hardly any demons left to kill, leaving only corpses and dripping blood on the ground.

Gu Yan stepped over the demon corpses, but did not leave the cave. Instead, he continued to walk into the heart of the cave.

The cave was full of winding and complex paths. After walking for a short while, they suddenly heard a faint, intermittent cry for help coming from ahead.

"Please... young master, save my life..."

Her voice was soft and delicate, a woman's voice tinged with tears.

Gu Yan followed the sound and found a woman in the cave.

She was born with exquisite features, skin as white as snow, and even her pale complexion could not conceal her beauty. Her brows held a hint of timid sorrow, instantly evoking pity in those who looked at her.

Her long hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and her already thin clothes were torn and disheveled. Her limbs were tightly bound with a tortoise shell binding technique, the knots around her slender waist and shoulders, which only accentuated her soft and fragrant figure, making her look even more curvaceous and alluring, pitiful yet captivatingly beautiful.

Upon seeing Gu Yan looking at her, the woman's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she cried out, "Young master, I am a respectable woman from the outskirts of Qingxi. The other day, I went up the mountain with my husband to pick mulberry leaves, but we encountered a demon in this cave, and my family was all killed."

"I am weak and helpless, and bound by ropes. I am trapped between life and death. I thought I was doomed, but heaven has eyes and I was saved by you, sir..."

She cried as she struggled violently. As if on purpose, the ropes binding her tightened and loosened, causing her already thin clothes to rise and fall in waves.

This is a lie.

She was not a respectable woman, nor was she kidnapped here. She was the second-in-command of this chaotic cave, personally bestowed the title "Lady Jade Stamen" by the cave master. Now that the cave master was gone, she was the leader of this group of demons.

However, when she saw Gu Yan charging into the cave from afar and witnessed his incredible skills, she was also shocked and thought that with her own cultivation, she was probably no match for him.

But direct combat was never her forte. Compared to physical fighting, she was more adept at bewitching and seducing, transforming into the appearance of a stunningly beautiful woman to lure and kill with her allure.

Therefore, even though she knew that Gu Yan was stronger than her, she was not alarmed when facing him.

Because she was confident in the appearance and methods she used to create illusions.

She firmly believes that all men in the world are the same.

No key can resist the temptation to enter the keyhole.

Look, here comes that man.

Lady Yu Rui sneered inwardly. She saw desire in the man's eyes, that primal urge to possess her, yet ultimately to destroy him.

Seeing Gu Yan approach, she was secretly delighted and was about to utter a few more poignant words to soften his heart.

Unexpectedly, a cold glint suddenly flashed before my eyes.

Lady Yu Rui felt a lightness around her neck, and in an instant, the world spun around her, and her vision suddenly plummeted.

She was bewildered.

What's going on?

It seems like... my head has fallen off?

Why? How could this be?

As a demon with cultivation, she wouldn't die immediately after her head fell to the ground. Her eyes were wide open as she watched her headless body gushing blood from the perspective of her severed head, and the young man calmly sheathing his sword.

No, why?

Didn't his eyes just now reveal a lustful, predatory look? Wasn't he just trying to satisfy his own greed?

What puzzled her even more was that the moment the young man sheathed his sword, she seemed to see...satisfaction on his face?

It's like that satisfied expression after it's all over.

It seems that his desire has been fulfilled, and he has gotten what he wanted.

In her final moments, as she lay dying, Lady Yu Rui faintly awoke to reality.

Oh, so what the other party was after wasn't her transformed body, but her demonic form itself.

It's unbelievable that someone in this world could be so obsessed with slaying demons... it's truly unbelievable...

She didn't even know how to describe it.

As her soul grew cold, Lady Yurui stared wide-eyed before passing away.
