Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

His clothes were stained red with blood, but he couldn't tell whether it was from the demon or his own.

He exuded a strong, bloody aura, like a demon god returned from hell.

During his brief moment of respite, he frowned slightly.

He knew that to completely resolve this crisis, he had to go to the heart of the matter and find and destroy the powerful demon.

"Follow me!"

Lin An gave a low shout, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

His figure flashed like lightning, rushing once again into the depths of the cave.

Liu Qinghe and the disciples of Qingyu Sect dared not slack off in the slightest and followed closely behind him.

Their steps were slightly heavy, and they were all more or less injured, but their eyes still shone with a determined light.

Along the way, the group encountered several more attacks from demons.

But under Lin An's leadership, they all made it through without any major incidents.

Finally, they arrived at the core of the cave.

A thick black mist permeated the area, within which strange runes flickered, as if telling endless secrets.

At the very center of the core, they saw a demon bound by countless chains.

Crimson Lion King.

The Crimson Lion King was enormous, resembling a small hill.

Its entire body is covered in fiery red mane.

Each hair on the mane seemed like a sharp blade, radiating a cold, icy light.

Its eyes, like two enormous blood-red gems, gleamed with a bloodthirsty light and were filled with a sense of oppression.

Even though it was tightly bound by countless chains, its powerful aura still sent chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing Lin An and the others appear, the Crimson Lion King let out a deafening roar.

The entire cave trembled.

It struggled fiercely, the chains binding it rattling as it pulled, seemingly on the verge of breaking free at any moment.

"You bunch of useless trash, you think you can kill me?"

The Crimson Lion King's voice was like rolling thunder.

The echoes reverberated through the cave, filled with endless mockery and disdain: "Even if your grandmaster came, he wouldn't be a match for me!"

Liu Qinghe's expression instantly became extremely serious.

Her hands trembled slightly as she gripped the longsword tightly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

Faced with such a powerful Crimson Lion King, she felt a surge of intense fear, but she still endured it and tried her best to calm herself down.

Lin An remained calm and slightly raised his head.

His gaze was piercing, meeting the Crimson Lion King's eyes directly. A confident smile played on his lips: "Is that so?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of power.

It was as if it were announcing to the Crimson Lion King that its arrogance was about to come to an end.

The spiritual energy around Lin An surged quietly.

The Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Blade trembled slightly in his hand.

They seemed to sense the fierce battle that was about to begin.

They couldn't wait to drink the blood of this powerful demon.

Lin An stared at the Crimson Lion King, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The spiritual energy around him surged like a raging tide, frantically converging onto the [Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade].

The blade trembled, emitting a low hum.

The light grew ever deeper, as if it were about to devour everything in the world.

Immediately afterward, he moved like lightning, disappearing from the spot in an instant, leaving only a blur.

In an instant, Lin An arrived in front of the Crimson Lion King.

With boundless power, the Demon-Slaying Blade in his hand slashed down fiercely towards the Crimson Lion King's head.

The speed was so fast that it left a tearing mark in the air.

Upon seeing this, the Crimson Lion King let out a deafening roar.

The roar, like rolling thunder, echoed continuously in the cave, making everyone's eardrums ache.

It exerted all its strength, its muscles bulging high, each one as hard as steel.

With a series of "crackling" sounds, the chains binding it were broken by its own strength, and countless chain fragments flew out, shooting in all directions like hidden weapons.

As soon as the Crimson Lion King broke free of its restraints, it swung its powerful front paws at Lin An without hesitation.

Its claws were incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light, and they created a whistling sound, as if they could tear everything apart.

The two attacks collided instantly, and a powerful energy wave emanated from the two of them and spread outwards.

The surrounding air seemed to be boiling, churning violently, and deep cracks appeared on the ground.

The runes in the cave flickered intermittently, as if they might go out at any moment.

However, Lin An's skills were clearly superior.

His gaze was as firm as iron, and the Demon-Slaying Blade in his hand became even more ruthless with the enhancement of spiritual power.

In his battle against the Crimson Lion King, his movements were agile and varied.

They skillfully evaded the Crimson Lion King's attack while simultaneously delivering a heavy blow to it.

The Crimson Lion King gradually fell into a passive position. Wounds appeared all over its body, and blood gushed out, staining the surrounding ground red.

But it still refused to give up, letting out angry roars as it made its final struggle.

Lin An spotted an opening and shouted, "Prepare to die!"

He concentrated all his spiritual power into the Demon-Slaying Blade.

The blade emitted a dazzling light, resembling a giant dragon.

With earth-shattering power, it hurtled towards the Crimson Lion King.

boom!

With a loud bang, the entire cave shook violently, as if it were about to collapse.

Under this powerful attack, the Crimson Lion King's body was instantly cleaved in two, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

They never expected Lin An to be so powerful, killing the fearsome Crimson Lion King in such a short time.

The Crimson Lion King's massive body crashed to the ground.

The tense atmosphere that filled the cave gradually dissipated.

Liu Qinghe stood frozen in place, staring at the once mighty and now lifeless giant beast.

Looking at Lin An, who stood tall and had a steady breath, he was filled with shock and admiration, and murmured in praise, "Lin An, your strength is really too strong! I have never seen such powerful combat strength. Such strength is rare in the entire cultivation world."

Her eyes shone with a light that reflected her sincere admiration for the strong.

Lin An tilted his head back slightly and let out a long sigh.

"This Crimson Lion King has been suppressed for many years, and its cultivation has been greatly damaged. It has not yet recovered."

He sheathed the still slightly trembling [Nine Revolutions Demon-Slaying Blade] and calmly replied, "If it were at its peak, its strength would certainly be far greater than this. During our battle just now, I could also feel that its power had been sealed and diminished considerably; otherwise, this battle would have been much more difficult."

Lin An recalled the battle; although the Crimson Lion King moved somewhat slowly.

However, the power and speed of the attack should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for its poor condition, I would have had to pay a much higher price to win.

"But thankfully, it's all over now."

Lin An's tone carried a hint of relief.

Now that he has successfully killed the Crimson Lion King, a huge weight has finally been lifted from his heart.
