Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

With the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird towers all being invaded, the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom's troop deployment at the Four Symbols Altar suddenly became chaotic.

The sound was thunderous from three directions, and could be heard clearly by everyone at the Four Symbols Altar.

On the altar, three human cultivators were talking with a giant elephant-headed demon general. Just as they were having a harmonious conversation, a commotion arose from three directions, causing the elephant-headed demon general to immediately tighten his grip on the golden double-headed hammer.

The three human cultivators were an old man, a young man, and a woman, all dressed in black robes embroidered with a red cloud pattern. Those in the know would recognize this as the symbol of the Black Heaven Sect.

"Anyone who dares to break into the altar today in the territory of the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom must be from the Demon Subduing Division. Fortunately, I already told you, General, to deploy more manpower, otherwise there would definitely be some trouble today," the old man said with a smile.

This person is named Lu Feng, the Left Elder of the Black Heaven Gate. He holds a very high position and can be said to be the most powerful person besides the Black Heaven Gate Master.

The arrangement of the Four Symbols Altar this time was entirely overseen by Lu Feng.

The other two, a young man and a young woman, were disciples of Lu Feng. Both were exceptionally talented and highly regarded by Lu Feng, and would become important figures within the Black Heaven Sect in the future.

The purpose of bringing them here this time is to broaden their horizons and give them some experience.

"Master, may I and my senior sister go and help?" the young Zheng He asked.

As a fourth-rank immortal cultivator at just over twenty years old, Zheng He was very confident in his talent, but he underestimated the strength of the Demon Subduing Officer who dared to challenge the altar today.

If Lu Feng really sends him to help, he'll probably die without even knowing how he died; he'll surely perish in the sea of ​​demon soldiers.

Lu Feng resolutely shook his head and said, "Your strength is still too weak, so there's no need for you to join in this fun. With General Xiang Tie here, we don't need to lift a finger. You can just stay here and preside over the altar."

The woman, Li Yuanyuan, nodded and said, "Now, only the Xuanwu Tower remains unactivated among the Four Symbols. Once activated, we can immediately operate the Four Symbols Altar and obtain the power of the Four Symbols. At that time, no matter how much the Demon-Subduing Commander tries to stop us, it will be useless."

The demon general known as Elephant Iron grunted and swung his elephant trunk, saying, "These Demon-Subduing Officers are truly fearless. We captured so many of them before, yet they still dare to come here to die. They really don't know the meaning of death. Men, bring all the Demon-Subduing Officers who have been imprisoned here. I want to use their execution to make offerings for the Four Symbols Altar!"

"Yes!"

The elephant-headed demon soldiers standing guard around them responded loudly.

Just then, the Azure Dragon Phantom in the direction of the Azure Dragon Pagoda suddenly vanished, and the entire sky became clean and clear, devoid of the magnificent scene from before.

The expressions of everyone on the Four Symbols Altar changed instantly. If any one of the Four Symbols Towers is missing, the Four Symbols Altar cannot be activated, so none of the towers can be lost.

The fact that the Azure Dragon Pagoda has lost its Azure Dragon Spirit means that the Azure Dragon Pagoda has been destroyed by the Demon Subduing Commander, which is something that neither the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom nor the Black Heaven Gate would want to see.

"Go over there quickly and see what's going on. Why did so many demon generals have to be stationed there, yet the Azure Dragon Pagoda still got into trouble?" Lu Feng shouted with a dark face.

Xiang Tie was clearly more anxious than him, as the success or failure of the Four Symbols Altar was related to some of the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom's next plans.

In the Elephant Kingdom of White Mountain, elephant demons with the surname Elephant are considered to have an extraordinary status and are closely related to the royal family. However, if something goes wrong in this matter today, even if Elephant Iron has the surname Elephant, it will be of no use.

Immediately, Xiang Tie leaped up and rushed towards the Azure Dragon Pagoda.

Seeing this, Lu Feng had no choice but to stay and guard the most important Four Symbols Altar to prevent the Demon Subduing Division from taking any other special actions.

The spirits of the four symbols can be replaced if time is given, but if the altar of the four symbols is destroyed, that would be a real problem.

……

Xuanwu Pagoda.

"cough!"

The fat monk was embedded inside the Xuanwu Pagoda, with a two-zhang-long iron spear nailed to his chest, making it impossible for him to get rid of it.

Not far away, a demon general with two horns on his head and a beard like a long snake was holding the end of a spear, staring coldly at the fat monk.

He was a general of the Gadfly tribe, a foreign race from the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom. His strength was firmly in the upper rank of the first grade. He usually sat in the palace to protect the Elephant King.

No one expected that the White Mountain Elephant King would actually send out this great demon general for the Four Symbols Altar incident, catching Fat Monk completely off guard.

Faced with the Gadfly, even the Fat Monk's strength could only result in him being completely crushed.

"The Demon-Subduing Commander is getting bolder and bolder. So many people came before and were killed, yet he still doesn't know when to stop. He still dares to invade. Does he really think that Sixiang Prefecture is still the territory of your Great Shang?" The Gadfly twisted the spear forcefully.

The spinning spear exacerbated the tearing of the wound on Fat Monk's chest. Even though Buddhism and Taoism cultivate the physical body, and Fat Monk had achieved a minor level of golden body cultivation, he was still in excruciating pain, and blood trickled from his mouth.

While the Gadfly was restraining the Fat Monk, the Black Heaven Gate demon who had successfully retrieved the Xuanwu Spirit from the Xuan Clan elder had already escorted it to the top of the Xuanwu Tower and placed it in the originally reserved stone trough.

With a sudden tremor, the Xuanwu Pagoda was successfully activated.

Brown mist rose and spread across the sky. In the brown clouds, the figure of a black tortoise emerged, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

The Four Symbols Pagodas have all been activated! The altar is now within reach!

But before the Gadfly could show a satisfied smile, the flying azure dragon suddenly disappeared from the direction of the Azure Dragon Tower, which meant that something had happened at the Azure Dragon Tower.

"Damn Demon-Slaying Officer!" Gadfly roared in fury, then pulled out his spear and swung it with all his might, smashing it directly onto the fat monk's head. In an instant, a large chunk of the fat monk's head caved in, and half of his head was smashed to pieces.

Even a top-tier physician couldn't save someone from this injury.

Watching the fat monk's corpse slide down below, the Gadfly didn't even glance at it, and immediately rushed towards the Azure Dragon Pagoda, intending to see if there was any chance to save it.

……

After the dragon swallowed the mysterious heart, the Azure Dragon Pagoda's Azure Dragon ethereal spirit vanished instantly, and the sky returned to normal.

The demon soldiers and generals below the tower all changed their expressions drastically at this moment. They could not escape responsibility for the destruction of the Azure Dragon Tower.

Seeing the dragon, which had just swallowed the heart, suddenly undergo a violent transformation, Ning Xiu immediately jumped off its back to check what was going on.

The already enormous dragon trembled and coiled together, then its scales began to fall off, and a thin, keratinous membrane appeared on its body.

Looking at Ning Xiu, the dragon let out a low growl, its eyes fixed on the Purple Lightning Thunder Hammers in Ning Xiu's hand, as if it were asking for them.

Without saying a word, Ning Xiu immediately threw out his double hammers, which were swallowed whole by the dragon.

Within moments, the dragon shrunk into a sphere, completely enveloped by a spherical membrane, while a large number of hard shells grew on the outside of the membrane.

It eventually transformed into a giant, pale blue egg!

This sudden change was unexpected even by Ning Xiu himself. He only wanted the dragon to swallow his heart and seize the Azure Dragon Spirit of the Four Symbols Altar, so that he could quickly and completely destroy this place.

But now that the dragon has turned into an egg, Ning Xiu has no way to leave immediately. The dragon is still a powerful force, and Ning Xiu can't just give it up. Besides, the Purple Lightning Thunder Hammers are still inside the dragon's body.

With no other option, Ning Xiu stopped beside the dragon egg, hugged it with both arms, and tried to lift it up and take it away.

However, the weight of a dragon was still too great. Even with Ning Xiu in his Great Dark Heaven state and possessing extraordinary strength, he could only barely lift the dragon egg by a fraction. He couldn't even move it more than a zhang, let alone take it away.

At this moment, Ning Xiu could sense that a large number of powerful auras were rushing towards him from all directions. These were probably the powerful demons or Black Heaven Sect members hiding around the Four Symbols Altar.

Even though Ning Xiu was an extraordinary third-rank expert with the Demon Buddha by his side, he still couldn't possibly deal with so many powerful enemies at the same time.

The situation suddenly became very urgent.

"You audacious human brat! How dare you steal the dragon spirit of my Elephant Kingdom! This is not your Shang Kingdom's territory!"

From the direction of the Four Symbols Altar, a demon general came riding the wind; it was the demon general Xiang Tie.

Ning Xiu glanced at the Demon Buddha who was still fighting with the White Feather Demon General, and knew that he would have to rely on himself to buy some time.

After all, there's been no movement from the other towers and the Four Symbols Altar yet. If we can draw more firepower from them, that would be very helpful to our colleagues.

Soon, Xiang Tie arrived at the Azure Dragon Tower, leaped to the top, and threw a punch directly at Ning Xiu.

Demons are known for their strength, not to mention demons like elephant demons who are naturally incredibly strong.

When the massive elephant fist came crashing down, Ning Xiu immediately braced himself with both arms, colliding head-on with the opponent.

The moment the power erupted, the entire Azure Dragon Tower hummed, and a large amount of energy burst through Ning Xiu's body to his back, causing many cracks to appear on the surface of the Azure Dragon Tower.

Although his arms were a little numb, Ning Xiu still managed to completely block Xiang Tie's attack without getting hurt.

"What?!" When Xiang Tie saw that Ning Xiu, this human, actually possessed the ability to rival him, his two elephant eyes widened in disbelief.

As a demon general of the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom, Xiang Tie's strength is beyond doubt. Over the years, he has rarely encountered an opponent who can rival him in strength.

But at this moment, it happened.

Even in his Great Black Heaven state, Ning Xiu was no weakling when it came to strength.

After catching the opponent's attack, Ning Xiu clenched his fist and threw a punch backhand.

This punch also had the added benefit of the fifth level of Dengfeng power.

boom!!!

Xiang Tie instinctively reached out to block, but the moment Ning Xiu's fist touched his palm, a burst of energy erupted, directly blasting Xiang Tie's body backward and sending him flying into the sky.

Looking at the huge, charred fist-shaped mark on the surface of his palm, Xiang Tie's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The human before him had actually broken through his defenses!

From awakening its intelligence to reaching first-grade strength, the elephant demon strengthens its physical body countless times during the cultivation process, from its internal organs to its outer skin.

This leads to the elephant demon's body becoming stronger and stronger, eventually becoming comparable to a defensive treasure, making it a natural defensive treasure.

As for Xiang Tie, a great demon general, the strength of his skin and flesh is self-evident.

But at this moment, his palm was broken by Ning Xiu. If he hadn't pulled his hand back in time, his palm would probably have been pierced through.

In a lawless area next to the Four Symbols State, there is a demon clan force called the Crow Royal Court. Many years ago, Xiang Tie fought against a demon general from the Royal Court. Bird demons are famous for the sharpness of their beaks, which are comparable to the sharpest weapons. But even that demon general was unable to inflict such an injury on Xiang Tie's hand.

Ning Xiu, however, only used one punch.

Before Xiang Tie could think further, Ning Xiu pushed off the top of the Azure Dragon Pagoda with all his might, instantly soaring into the air, his massive body once again rushing towards Xiang Tie.

Even without the aid of the Thunderclap and Purple Lightning Hammers, Ning Xiu's strength in his Great Black Heaven state is still not to be underestimated.

boom!

He tensed his right fist and unleashed another punch at Xiang Tie's face.

The wind surged, and under Ning Xiu's punch, even the air itself changed, turning into an air blast that collided head-on with the elephant iron.

Xiang Tie flexed his muscles and blocked the punch horizontally. At the same time, a white elephant figure appeared behind him, determined to block the punch for Xiang Tie.

In an instant, Ning Xiu's punch collided head-on with the white elephant's figure.

The power of the fifth level of Dengfeng Force erupted instantly at this moment.

Click click click!

Within moments, numerous cracks appeared on the white elephant's figure, and it eventually collapsed completely.

Ning Xiu's body shimmered with golden patterns, and he slapped Xiang Tie in the face with his backhand. Xiang Tie's entire body could not support it at all, and it crashed to the ground with a loud bang, forming a huge crater.

The large number of demon soldiers on the ground who had no time to dodge were all crushed into blood and foam in this shocking force.
