I became a martial arts saint while playing games.

A dark figure flashed out from outside the hall. At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Black Bear Demon King, completely unprepared. The dark figure was as fast as lightning, the palm wind was fierce and powerful, and the powerful palm force was aimed directly at Gu Yan's back. It was obviously waiting for this moment to attack from both sides with the Black Bear Demon King, determined to kill Gu Yan with one blow.

Shen Qinghan was the first to react. But she sensed the man's incredible speed and the powerful, dense energy emanating from his palm, imbued with a refined demonic aura. Her heart immediately tightened—

—Another powerful demon master!

The second Qi-Controlling Demon King had already hidden himself in the shadows, concealing his aura, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Gu Yan had previously told her that there were three demon caves near Qingxi. The demon king brothers of Shuangcha Cave were dead, and the black bear demon king of Luanshi Cave was right in front of them.

The only remaining powerful demon with the ability to control Qi is the Black Wind Cave Master, who happened to be away from home when Gu Yan rescued Shen Qinghan and stormed through the Black Wind Cave.

Before Shen Qinghan could think further, and before she could even draw her sword, she flicked her slender fingers, sending her finger force piercing the air as she intercepted the Black Wind Cave Master who was launching a sneak attack.

The Black Wind Cave Master had clearly anticipated her interception. He lunged into the air, his right hand continuing to strike Gu Yan's back with a palm strike, while his left hand suddenly clenched into a fist and struck Shen Qinghan horizontally in mid-air, intending to use the force of his fist to counteract her finger strike.

However, this cave master seemed to have underestimated the power of Shen Qinghan's single finger.

Although Shen Qinghan acted hastily, his finger strength was refined and pure. With a hiss, it broke through the air and instantly shattered the Black Wind Cave Master's fist force into pieces. Moreover, the remaining force was not diminished and the momentum was still fierce, directly hitting the Black Wind Cave Master's waist.

Shen Qinghan's finger strike was not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely accurate. The force of the finger struck the Black Wind Cave Master's vital acupoint in the waist, its sharp energy driving straight in and striking his dantian.

The Black Wind Cave Master felt a violent tremor in his dantian, and the breath of internal energy he had been holding suddenly collapsed, leaving half of his body numb and without sensation. It was as if that finger had opened a gash in his waist, and all his strength had been released like a flood bursting its banks.

His body went limp, and he plummeted from mid-air, crashing back to the ground in a sorry state.

Although his sneak attack was blocked by Shen Qinghan, the palm strike had already been launched. The palm strike of a powerful demon could injure people from a distance. Although his physical body was blocked and the power of his palm strike was weakened midway, it had still reached Gu Yan's back.

"Be careful!" Shen Qinghan warned.

But the great demon of Qi-controlling power acted with incredible speed, and Shen Qinghan's intervention was actually faster than her words. If Gu Yan had only reacted after her reminder, it would have been too late.

However, Gu Yan remained calm. Long before the Black Wind Cave Master launched his sneak attack, he had already secretly activated the Shifting Universe Technique. When the palm strike from behind arrived, Gu Yan's body was already in a state of perfect harmony, using the Shifting Universe Technique to prepare to deflect and redirect the force.

The palm strike, imbued with the power of Qi from behind, suddenly suppressed Gu Yan's body, causing him to sink slightly as he lightly shook his arms. With a casual flick of his wrist, the fierce palm strike was skillfully redirected, bypassing Gu Yan and heading straight for the Black Bear Demon King who was charging towards him.

At the same time, Gu Yan also secretly channeled his inner energy and unleashed his full power with a single palm strike.

In this way, it was as if Gu Yan's own internal energy and the Black Wind Cave Master's internal energy were perfectly integrated and layered together, making it seem as if Gu Yan and the Black Wind Cave Master were attacking together, with power that was simply overwhelming.

The Black Bear Demon King was already poisoned, his meridians were blocked, and he could not exert even half of his usual strength. Seeing the fierce attack, but his body was too heavy to move and dodge after being poisoned, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and throw a punch to meet the attack.

With his crippled body, how could he possibly withstand the combined attack of Gu Yan and the Black Wind Cave Master?

Fists and palms collided, and a loud bang reverberated throughout the hall.

The Black Bear Demon King felt an immense, unparalleled force surge into him, shaking his internal organs violently. The sound of his arm bones cracking rang out clearly; one of his arms had been snapped, his tendons and bones broken, causing him to convulse in pain.

Moreover, he was severely injured, his internal energy was in disarray, and he had no strength left to suppress the poison in his body. The poison of the Soul-Eating and Tendon-Softening Powder and the excruciating pain of bone fractures intertwined, and large tears mixed with snot streamed down the black bear's face. This ferocious demon king suddenly looked like a child crying, a scene that was both absurd and laughable.

Gu Yan calmly stood still, turned around, and saw that the demon king who had ambushed him had also fallen to the ground.

This demon was slender and upright, covered with a layer of gray-black fur, with pointed wolf ears and a pair of dark green wolf eyes. It was a wolf demon.

He was the master of Black Wind Cave, known as the Black Wind Wolf King.

Although Shen Qinghan did not recognize the technique of shifting the universe, she vaguely realized that Gu Yan had just used an extremely clever method to borrow the power of the Black Wind Wolf King's sneak attack to severely injure the bear demon. She was both surprised and delighted.

She couldn't understand how Gu Yan had made such rapid progress in such a short time, or where he had learned such a miraculous skill. At the same time, she suddenly realized that her intervention might have interfered with Gu Yan's plans.

Because if she hadn't intervened, the wolf king's sneak attack on Gu Yan would have been even more powerful. Gu Yan would have used the force of that attack to strike the bear demon, and the black bear might have been killed on the spot, without even a chance to whimper or howl.

Gu Yan glanced at the wolf king and said with a mocking smile, "This must be the Black Wind Wolf King. Interesting, interesting. You've been waiting for a long time, and when you finally had a chance to launch a sneak attack, you actually left none of us from the Demon Suppression Division moving, instead focusing on taking advantage of the situation to get rid of this stupid bear."

"It seems that you demons, though seemingly united, are secretly plotting your own schemes. Even with a formidable enemy at hand, you're still thinking of fighting amongst yourselves. Your friendship has deteriorated to such an extent."

Upon hearing this, the black bear felt a chill run down its spine.

He and the Black Wind Wolf King had always harbored deep resentment, which was perfectly understandable.

The three major demon lairs in Qingxi are all under the jurisdiction of the lord. On the surface, the demon kings are of equal rank and each occupies a territory. However, as the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. The demon kings secretly compete with each other for power and profit, and there is never any harmony between them.

Although the Golden-Maned and Silver-Maned brothers of the Twin-Forked Cave exist, their overall strength is the weakest among the Three Demon Caves, and therefore they are often not taken seriously by the two demons. On the contrary, the Black Wind Wolf King and the Black Bear Demon King have a long history of conflict and deep-seated grudges.

But even with such deep-seated hatred, before today, the Black Bear Demon King could never have imagined that this sinister and ruthless wolf would still be causing trouble with private messages and plotting internal strife when a great enemy was at hand, and even going so far as to collude with the enemies of the Demon Suppression Division to eliminate him. His despicable and reckless actions made people hate him to the bone.

The Black Bear Demon King was already mentally impaired after being poisoned, and having just lost his beloved son, he was blinded by rage and only wanted to kill Gu Yan to vent his anger. He was completely unaware of the Black Wind Wolf King's sneak attack.

Furthermore, given his limited experience, he had never witnessed such a wondrous technique as shifting the universe, and could not possibly imagine that Gu Yan possessed the ability to draw the palm strikes of his teammates to attack him. Yet, the excruciating pain he had just experienced from the combined attack of Gu Yan and the Black Wind Wolf King was undeniable.

Finally, after being provoked by Gu Yan, he was convinced that this wolf-faced villain was willing to use the human race to eliminate him. He was already burning with rage, and this was like pouring oil on his already overwhelming hatred.

But instead of getting angry, he laughed, a hoarse and violent laugh, like a madman, and roared, "Fine, very well! I knew we might not get along, but we were both from the demonic path. But since you, this wolf-faced traitor, are so shameless, stabbing me in the back, then don't blame me for fighting you to the death today!"

Shouting and yelling, he dragged his severed arm forward, ready to fight the Black Wind Wolf King to the death.

Black Wind Wolf King: "???"

What did I do?

The wolf king had just launched a sneak attack on Gu Yan when he was intercepted by Shen Qinghan halfway there. He was hit by her finger and fell to the ground weakly.

As for the palm strike he had just unleashed that was deflected by Gu Yan and instead hit his teammate, he was completely unaware of it.

So the Black Wind Wolf King couldn't understand why this stupid bear had suddenly gone crazy, ignoring the great enemy of the human race and actually coming up to fight him.

"Are you fucking insane?!"

The Black Wind Wolf King hurriedly pushed away the bear demon's fist with a palm strike, cursing loudly.

Gu Yan laughed and said, "It's quite a lively fight. Come on, let me join in."

He then rushed forward to join the battle.

The human and the two demons fought each other, making it impossible to discern which side they were on.

The bear demon was convinced that the wolf-faced villain had taken advantage of his misfortune to try and kill him, and he hated him intensely. The smiling human who had kidnapped his child, poisoned him, and even forced the child to kill himself by running his head against his body was an even deeper, more profound grudge.

Therefore, he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and attacks both at the same time.

Needless to say, Gu Yan's side was also filled with demons. One moment he was teaming up with the bear demon to fight the wolf king, the next he was joining forces with the wolf king to fight the bear demon, and then he was using the technique of shifting the universe to make the two demons kill each other, continuing to stir up trouble and having a great time.

As for the wolf king...

...The wolf king had no choice at all.

He entered the arena with a sneak attack, clearly intending to join forces with the Black Bear Demon King to kill this henchman of the Demon Suppression Division. Little did he expect that, upon leaving the arena, he would be struck by Shen Qinghan's finger, forced to fight desperately by his teammates, and then caught in a pincer attack by Gu Yan...

Can you believe it? It actually feels a bit like we're surrounded by enemies!
