Slaying demons and eliminating evil, a martial saint among mortals.

Having considered this, Qin Lie said nothing more.

Sure enough, not long after, the demonic aura behind the tree canopy began to stir.

However, instead of charging towards Qin Lie and his group, they retreated towards the mountainside.

They moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were deep in the forest.

Li Hu grinned.

"They run pretty fast."

Lu Chen dismounted and tied the reins to a tree.

"From now on, let's walk in."

Qin Lie and the others dismounted, tied their horses up, and headed into Langya Mountain.

……

Deep in Langya Mountain, inside a cave.

Wolf King was sitting on a stone chair at this moment, holding a bowl of wine in his hand.

After Wolf Wind's soul lamp went out last night, although it said it wasn't afraid, it still made the little demons below it behave themselves.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Demon Suppression Division has arrived."

A skinny wolf demon rushed in from outside the cave and knelt on the ground.

Wolf King paused for a moment, holding the wine bowl.

I usually hide my tracks very well, so how did I attract the attention of the Demon Suppression Bureau?

Could it be that Wolf Wind couldn't keep his mouth shut?

"How many people came?"

"Four."

Upon hearing the number reported by his underlings, Wolf King's expression didn't change much.

The four people didn't look like a large group; they were probably a small team sent by the Demon Division of Dongxuan Town to scout ahead.

"What is the strength of this group?"

"What level of strength?"

The little demon hesitated for a moment.

"I couldn't tell!"

Upon hearing this, Wolf King smashed his wine bowl on the ground.

"Can't you tell?"

The little demon was so frightened that it quickly lowered its head.

"I only dared to take a look from afar; their vital energy is stronger than mine."

"Especially the one walking at the very front, and that big man with the sword, both of them have very strong blood and energy."

"I really can't tell what level it is."

Wolf King snorted coldly.

"waste!"

The little demon lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to utter a single word.

Wolf King did not get up immediately.

It's not surprising that the Demon Suppression Bureau has sent people.

The fact that only four people came shows that the Demon Division of Dongxuan Town did not take this matter seriously.

If that's the case, then let's give it a try.

If I can surround and kill these four people, their flesh and blood will be a great tonic for me.

"Send Black Fang down a team. Don't rush into a fight. Let's test the strength of these four men."

"If it's just an ordinary Demon Suppression Division squad, leave them all here; if they're troublesome, come back and report to me."

The little demon kneeling on the ground immediately nodded, then turned and ran out.

……

In the mountains and forests, Qin Lie followed behind Li Hu, walking towards the mountainside while using his Qi Observation Technique to observe the surroundings.

After increasing my Spirit to ten points yesterday, I'm finding it much easier to use the Qi Observation Technique now.

Lu Chen walked at the very front.

Li Hu and Qin Lie walked in the middle.

Xu Qinghe was walking a little behind.

The group maintained a comfortable distance from each other, ensuring they could support one another should any situation arise.

Qin Lie soon discovered that the demonic aura in the mountains was increasing, clearly indicating that the demons of Wolf Fang Mountain already knew they were coming.

"Watch out, I've discovered..."

Before Qin Lie could finish speaking, a roar suddenly came from the woods ahead.

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure pounced out from behind the tree.

It was a wolf-shaped monster that was half the height of a person.

He had barely pounced out when Li Hu moved, wielding his longsword with a sudden swift motion.

puff!

Before the monster could even let out a wail, it was cleaved in two by a single blow, its blood splattering everywhere.

Qin Lie's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this.

Is this Li Hu's strength?

"Stop daydreaming, there's still a lot more to come."

After saying that, Li Hu drew his knife and charged forward.

Sure enough, rustling sounds soon came from all around again.

One by one, demons rushed out of the forest, including a few small demons that were already able to walk semi-upright.

Lu Chen stood at the front, but did not rush to make a move.

Xu Qinghe was also just looking down and writing something down.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lie immediately understood that this was giving him an opportunity!

Qin Lie pushed off with his feet and swept past them.

The Demon-Slaying Blade was drawn.

puff!

The blade sliced ​​directly into the little demon's neck.

The little demon screamed and crashed heavily to the ground.

[Slay a monster in the early stages of the Lesser Demon Realm]

[Gain 2 attribute points]

Qin Lie's eyes lit up slightly.

It has to be a demon from the Lesser Demon Realm!

At that moment, another monster pounced on him.

Qin Lie dodged to the side and slashed upwards with his sword.

The demon's abdomen was ripped open, and blood and internal organs were spilled all over the ground.

Kill low-level monsters.

[Gain 0.3 attribute points]

After reaching the eighth rank, killing low-level demonic beasts became much easier for him.

Even at the early stage of the Lesser Demon Realm, it wasn't as difficult as when I encountered the wolf demon yesterday.

This is the benefit of improving one's realm!

Soon, most of the monsters were killed.

Li Hu single-handedly cut down most of them, and Qin Lie also killed three lesser demons and four monsters.

As for Lu Chen, he only made a move once from beginning to end.

It was still a little demon, trying to escape from the side while it was in the chaos.

Lu Chen simply raised his hand and pointed.

A flash of light appeared.

The little demon didn't even run a single step before its head rolled to the ground.

Qin Lie was speechless at the sight.

The gap between myself and Lu Chen is still very large.

After the last monster fell, the forest quickly fell silent.

The stench of blood permeated the mountains and forests.

Li Hu flicked the blood off his knife.

"The monsters on Wolf Fang Mountain aren't all that great."

Lu Chen glanced at him.

"This is just the first test; the real trouble is yet to come."

Li Hu grinned.

"I know, this is just a warm-up."

Qin Lie also gained 7.2 attribute points in this wave.

Judging from this, maybe after this mission is over, we can make up for all the attribute points we lost yesterday.

……

Inside the cave, Lu Chen deliberately let a little demon go, and knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"Your Majesty, we can't stop them at all."

Wolf King raised his eyelids.

"Where's Black Tooth?"

"They're all dead. Of all the people who went there, I'm the only one who escaped."

Upon hearing what the little demon said, the cave instantly fell silent, and Wolf King's expression changed.

Although Black Fang isn't considered very strong, he's still a mid-stage Lesser Demon.

In addition, more than a dozen demonic beasts and lesser demons died so quickly.

This means that the four people who came this time were not an ordinary Demon Suppression Division team.

Wolf King slowly stood up, and his enormous body made the little demons in the cave lower their heads.

A wolf demon beside him asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Wolf King's eyes were gloomy. If they were just a few ordinary demon hunters, he wouldn't mind killing them all.

But now it seems that something is not right.

He is indeed a demon soldier, but this is human territory. If he were to fight the people of the Demon Suppression Division head-on, even if he won, it would only bring more trouble.

Moreover, the people who come may not necessarily be weaker than him.

"Brothers, those bastards from the Demon Suppression Division are bullying us."

"Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover! Grab your weapons, let's make sure they don't leave here alive today!"

After saying that, Wolf King picked up the spiked club that was standing next to him.

"The boss is right, let's make sure they don't leave alive."

"I love eating the flesh and blood of the people from the Demon Suppression Division the most."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

A group of lesser demons, inspired by the wolf chieftain's imposing aura, grabbed their weapons and left the cave.

Seeing that his men had all left, Wolf King turned and walked deeper into the cave.

That was a secret passage, which he had the little demons dig out when he first arrived at Langya Mountain.

It was originally just in case, but I didn't expect it would actually come in handy today.

I just hope those idiots can hold off the people from the Demon Suppression Division so he can escape.

With his abilities, which mountain wouldn't he be able to recruit subordinates for?

Why bother confronting the Demon Suppression Bureau head-on here?

And he still has a mission to complete.

Soon, Wolf King disappeared into the secret passage.

In the mountains, Qin Lie had just put away his control panel when he suddenly noticed something and abruptly looked up at the mountainside.

Using the aura-observation technique, the demonic aura in his vision became immediately clear.

A large group of demonic energy was moving towards them from the mountainside.

A dark aura, much denser than the other demonic auras, is slowly moving towards the back of the mountain.

The heavier the black aura, the higher the cultivation level.

That black aura must belong to Wolf King. Is Wolf King trying to escape?

"Interesting, you're just leaving without even trying?"

Just as Qin Lie was about to issue a warning, he heard Lu Chen mutter something in a low voice.

So Lu Chen already knew that Wolf King was going to escape.

That makes sense. Even if an old demon hunter like Lu Chen didn't have the ability to observe qi, he must have his own methods of judgment.

"Qinghe, send a message to block the road and have the department send people to guard the outer perimeter of Langya Mountain."

"Li Hu, you and Qin Lie take care of the group of lesser demons that are about to arrive."

"I'm going to meet Wolf King!"

After arranging things, Lu Chen's figure flew directly towards the back mountain.

They moved very fast, disappearing into the depths of the forest almost in the blink of an eye.

Qin Lie looked in the direction Lu Chen had left and was slightly startled.

He is now at the eighth rank, and his physique and agility have improved to a certain extent.

But he still couldn't see Lu Chen's attack clearly.

Is this the strength of a high-level martial artist?

I'm so envious! When will I be able to have that kind of ability?

"Stop looking, Boss Lu has gone to block Wolf King's retreat. We should get to work too."

Li Hu, carrying his large sword, grinned at Qin Lie.

Qin Lie also withdrew his gaze and gripped the Demon-Suppressing Blade tightly.

Xu Qinghe stood at the back, holding the Demon-Suppressing Token to send a message.

A faint white light emanated from the Demon-Suppressing Token, but the light seemed unstable, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

It's likely that the demonic energy in Langya Mountain interfered with the transmission of the demon-suppressing order.

Xu Qinghe frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

"The message has been sent out, but the demonic energy in the mountains is too strong, which may affect subsequent communications."

Li Hu grinned.

"Then let's not count on anyone else. Let's kill these monsters in front of us first."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp howl came from the direction of the mountainside.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps echoed from the surrounding woods.
