One Dao Fruit a day, starting with the Dragon Taming Technique.

A fist, as white as jade, slammed into Madam Lu's exquisite features, which were contorted with ecstasy.

The next moment, the violent force shattered the demonic energy flow on Lady Deer's face, causing her originally delicate features to explode, revealing greasy fat on her face.

This deer demon is very cunning.

Since descending the mountain, she has consciously begun to raise blood food. She has never lacked good food. With the support of countless little demons and treacherous people under her command, Madam Deer has long become a fat pig. She can only maintain her previous noblewoman-like demeanor by relying on the restraint of her demonic power.

"what!"

Lady Deer covered her ruptured face, trying to shield herself from the gazes of the surrounding demons.

Having been in contact with humans for so long, she has adopted many human habits and developed a simple sense of propriety, morality, and a love of beauty.

She let out a shriek, and the long whip in the air transformed into arrows. Countless invisible arrows shot out towards Xu Guang's location, the roar resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

As Xu Guang moved, countless afterimages appeared. Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging towards Lady Lu's location amidst the arrows.

The fair fists continued to strike with mysterious trajectories, creating vortexes in the air wherever they touched, drawing in air arrows that then shattered.

Bang bang bang!

Three consecutive punches, like the Nine-Headed Mountain.

Lady Deer's once graceful figure gradually became bloated and as fat as a pig.

Finally, all the arrows in the air disappeared.

Xu Guang slowly gathered power in his left fist, his aura constantly condensing. The immense power after the advancement of the Dragon Taming Technique, compressed four times by the Ninefold Mountain, instantly imprinted itself on Madam Lu's neck. Xu Guang spread his five fingers and slammed them hard.

The wall behind Madam Deer collapsed with a crash, leaving a crater more than one meter in radius in the ground.

Xu Guang stepped on his shoulder and raised his hand to lift the black sword.

Slowly lift it up.

Lady Lu was on her deathbed as she looked at the dark light emanating from the black sword.

"No...you can't kill me! I'm the Tiger King's favorite concubine. If you dare kill me, the Tiger King will never let you get away with it!"

"What are you three waiting for? Help me!"

She pleaded for help from the remaining three demons.

嗏

Pfft!

The black sword's sharpness far exceeded expectations.

The terrifying malevolent energy suppressed by the true dragon within Xu Guang's body burst forth.

A hideous, dark red aura tore through Lady Deer's neck, and from her shoulders onwards, countless grotesque wounds appeared.

……

Pfft!

A black sword flew out, spinning in the air.

The snake demon was severed at its seven-inch mark.

Xu Guang landed, looked at the rat demon fleeing for its life in the distance, and gently picked up the black sword.

Of the seven great demons that came for Xu Cheng, only the rat demon escaped in the blink of an eye.

Xu Guang killed all six demons, including Lady Deer!

Ruan Miyi and Xu Cheng's eyes were already glazed over.

"Senior Brother Xu, is he... really your cousin?"

Xu Cheng subconsciously rubbed his eyes again. His already bruised and swollen face stung as he rubbed them. "I suspect I'm already dead."

Ruan Miyi didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

I've heard that when a person is about to die, they can make up for their biggest regret in life.

Ruan Miyi: ...

"My cousin is actually that strong?"

Xu Guang drew his sword and chased after the rat demon, but suddenly stopped before leaving. "Xiao Cheng, take good care of the spoils, or I'll break your legs."

Hearing that familiar voice, Xu Cheng finally came to his senses.

He finally realized that this was indeed his cousin, who had always been a troublemaker since childhood.

He was controlled by Xu Guang when he was young. The reason he went to school was because he was no match for Xu Guang and had no choice but to study.

"Junior sister, can you help me out?"

Ruan Miyi remained dazed.

……

The rat demon wasn't particularly strong, probably only at a mid-level among the demons of the past fifty years, but its demonic magic was rather strange, similar to earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground), which lived up to its name as a rat demon.

Xu Guang discovered that he couldn't catch up with the other party.

Seeing this, Xu Guang had no choice but to give up and turned to rush towards the high platform where the banquet had been held.

Inside the cage, he saw the Heavenly Stones brought by the demons. Xu Guang valued the Heavenly Stones highly.

……

the other side.

The two ape demons who had previously surrounded and attacked the pig demon, after defeating the pig demon, each took half of it and carried it around, gnawing on it as they walked.

After venting his anger, the effects of the medication had almost completely subsided.

The two ape demons were gnawing on the pig demon's corpse. After regaining their senses, they realized that they had gone a bit too far.

"What... happened to us?"

"Never mind, let's go find the third brother and the others first," the black-skinned ape demon said after a moment's thought.

Upon hearing this, the other ape demon took a bite of the pig demon and said, "But to be honest, this pig's head tastes pretty good."

The black-skinned ape demon glared at the second brother and led the pig demon toward Xu Cheng's location.

Then, the two demons witnessed Xu Guang's ferocious act of killing Lady Deer.

Immediately afterwards, upon witnessing Xu Guang slaughter his ape demon brothers, he completely regained his senses.

Xu Guang's combat prowess in slaying demons with fifty years of cultivation as easily as pigs and dogs terrified the two ape demons.

Seeing the evil star chasing after the rat demon with a black sword, the two ape demons finally came to their senses.

"Run! Run!!"

……

And this moment.

The platform had completely collapsed, and two furtive black figures were constantly looking around.

These are the two men in black from the governor's mansion. Their faces are flushed and they look excited.

They were the ones who concocted the mind-altering drug. The moment the drug took effect on the demons, they noticed something was wrong, but they didn't have time to explain before the demons went berserk.

They could only hide.

At first, they even thought about restoring the sanity of these demons.

But when the youngest of the three was knocked to the ground by a monkey demon and stuffed alive into its mouth, they hid.

Then they discovered that although the platform had collapsed, the celestial stones on it were still there. Although the deal with the demons had fallen through, if they could obtain those celestial stones…

It was definitely worth the trip!

The two quickly began searching for the celestial stones amidst the ruins below the platform.

But at that moment!

Dust filled the sky as two enormous figures came charging toward them—two ape demons wielding long staffs.

The two men's expressions changed drastically, but they quickly realized that the two ape demons were not targeting them.

Their originally ferocious faces were now filled with fear, as if some great terror was lurking behind them and could threaten them at any moment.

The two were puzzled.

After all, a demon with fifty years of cultivation would be considered a powerful figure anywhere, let alone in this remote corner of Shuofang Prefecture.

Seeing the two ape demons fleeing for their lives from the ruins of the high platform, they didn't even glance at the ruins.

The two were overjoyed; it seemed these celestial stones were meant for them.

Just about to take action.

A dark red figure, exuding a strong smell of blood, came rushing towards them from afar. The two recognized it as the rat demon.

Compared to the rat demon's previous triumphant appearance, its disheveled state made the two stare wide-eyed, as if it were a stray dog.

The two quickly hid again.

"What's going on? These demons..."

The younger man in black said in a low voice.

The man in black with the small mustache shook his head, his face solemn. As a master of the third level of the White Register, his strength was enough to rival a fifty-year-old demon, and he could even kill some fifty-year-old demons whose demonic arts were not strong enough.

However, he knew the origins of those ape demons. The leader of them came from Yongdu, and its strength was unfathomable. He was no match for it at all.

The rat demons that escaped later were equally powerful. Although their origins and backgrounds were not as impressive as the black-skinned ape demon that led them, their demonic arts were bizarre, and their earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that is extremely strange and unpredictable).

These two demons were being chased like stray dogs.

What kind of terrifying beings were chasing them?

"Stop talking nonsense, find the last Heavenly Stone and leave quickly."

They came specifically for the Heavenly Stones. They remember clearly that these demons brought a total of thirty-four Heavenly Stones with them, and they have now found twenty-three of them.

But I still can't bear to give up what's left.

Humans are inherently greedy.
