Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

The leader of the Black Heaven Gate is a very mysterious person, and the Demon Extermination Bureau has not been able to find out his true identity to this day.

"Sect Master, I... I am willing to accept punishment and bear everything. Please make your move." After hearing Zheng He's words, Lu Feng said without hesitation.

"Don't disappoint me this time." Zheng He waved his hand, and five dazzling lights flew out from his sleeve, transforming into five feathers that shot towards Lu Feng and instantly disappeared into his body.

Li Xianhe wanted to stop it, but the speed was too fast, and even he didn't have a chance to react.

The deer that ingested the five feathers immediately underwent a transformation. Its body, which had previously resembled a hybrid, began to rapidly become more harmonious. The blue dragon scales and crimson feathers combined perfectly, a tortoise-shell-like covering appeared on its back, and sharp claws grew on all four limbs.

Originally, Lu Feng was only initially drawing upon the power of the Four Symbols Holy Spirits, but with the help of the Black Heaven Gate Master using some unknown method, the power of the Four Symbols Holy Spirits that Lu Feng could draw upon seemed to have increased significantly.

After throwing out five feathers, Zheng He closed his eyes and his entire body instantly went limp to the ground. Only Li Yuanyuan's timely support prevented him from falling.

"The sect leader's method of communicating with spirits places extremely high demands on the recipient; even elders can't sustain it for long. With Zheng He doing this, he'll probably suffer a severe blow to his vitality for quite some time," Li Yuanyuan thought to herself.

"Hahahaha..." Feeling the power of the Four Symbols surging within his body, Lu Feng let out a joyful sound.

The actions of the Black Heaven Gate Master stimulated the enhancement of the Four Symbols Power, which greatly increased Lu Feng's strength in the short term, but also caused great damage to his body.

Lu Feng no longer cared about these things; obtaining the power to control everything was the most important thing right now.

Facing Li Xianhe, Lu Feng no longer took him seriously.

Even if one is only one step away from the Dragon Elephant Realm, so what? The power of the Four Symbols Holy Spirits is beyond the imagination of mortals.

"I'll deal with you first, then I'll go after those damned Xuan Clan people." Lu Feng pushed out his hands, and a large number of crimson feathers shot out like arrows, enveloping Li Xianhe in a storm.

At the same time, he pushed off with both feet, unleashing a powerful propulsion force. In the blink of an eye, he was already behind Li Xianhe, his sharp claws stabbing towards Li Xianhe's back.

The power of the White Tiger!

The claws emitted a white light, exuding a sharp and menacing aura.

"Ridiculous. The Four Symbols Tower has not been truly activated. I don't even care about the little bit of Four Symbols Holy Spirit power you borrowed." Li Xianhe coldly said, "Now that I have discovered the last trump card that your Black Heaven Sect has arranged here, and that Black Demon Ancestor has already left, you can rest assured and continue your journey."

"what?"

Before Lu Feng could react, Li Xianhe's aura surged, and the divine sword intent emanating from his body became increasingly clear and distinct. The blue giant sword crashed down from the sky and pierced through Lu Feng's body.

boom!

The giant sword plunged into the earth, cleaving away a quarter of the massive Four Symbols Altar. Thick dust and rocks billowed out, sending demon soldiers flying across the land.

The ground was even cracked open by the impact, creating a fissure hundreds of feet long.

"This is... the power of the Golden Dragon Demon Subduer!" Ning Xiu's eyes widened as he looked at the imposing aura created by the blue giant sword.

Putting himself in Li Xianhe's shoes, Ning Xiu knew that even if he activated the Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Body to its fullest extent, he would still find it difficult to withstand Li Xianhe's sword strike.

This has transcended the martial arts system and contains a trace of extraordinary power. Ning Xiu is certain that it is something that ordinary first-rank masters cannot achieve.

"What secrets are hidden above the first rank?" Ning Xiu wondered to himself.

This sword strike not only shocked Ning Xiu and the other Demon Subduing Officers, but also greatly shocked the demon soldiers and generals of the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom and the Xuan Clan members who had stormed in.

“One sword…killed the Grand Elder…” Li Yuanyuan knelt on both knees, a sense of powerlessness welling up in her heart.

Elder Lu Feng was a first-rank expert! How could he be killed by this Demon-Subduing Officer with a single sword strike? Are the Four Symbols Holy Spirits really that useless?

As Li Xianhe landed, the blue behemoth dissipated under his control.

This was merely Li Xianhe's manifested sword intent, not a true giant sword.

Reaching Li Yuanyuan and the unconscious Zheng He, Li Xianhe raised two fingers, and the two were immediately pulled up by an invisible force. The Black Heaven Sect demon who could stand on the Four Symbols Altar must have a very high status in the Black Heaven Sect.

If they are brought back to the Demon Subduing Division and interrogated rigorously, they should be able to extract some useful information.

With Lu Feng dead, and a corner of the Four Symbols Altar also cut off by Li Xianhe, the demon soldiers and generals on the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom's side, along with Ning Lian, He Kuang and the Xuan Clan, were increasingly defeated and were quickly routed, unable to mount any effective counterattack.

Although Ning Xiu did not personally kill the enemy, the Demon Buddha was engaged in a fierce battle, and Ning Xiu's general proficiency was constantly increasing, resulting in huge gains.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the demon army was either dead or scattered, suffering a complete defeat.

"Roar!" He Kuang, shrouded in darkness, tore a demon soldier to shreds. Just as he was about to attack the next target, the shadow suddenly dissipated, revealing He Kuang, who had been wrapped up and was now lying unconscious on the ground, snoring loudly, sound asleep.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Ning Xiu immediately returned to the Azure Dragon Tower to check on the safety of the dragon egg.

After consuming the mysterious heart that represented the power of the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit, the Flood Dragon transformed into a huge dragon egg. Although the reason for this is unknown, it is not difficult to guess that when the Flood Dragon hatches, it will obtain a great fortune.

As Ning Xiu's assistant, Ning Xiu still cares about it very much.

Beneath the Azure Dragon Pagoda, the ghost soldiers infected by the Five Directions Ghost King's Pestle loyally guarded the entire pagoda. Only when they saw Ning Xiu arrive did they automatically make way for him.

As Ning Xiu ascended the Azure Dragon Tower and gazed at the dragon egg emitting a soft, shimmering purple-blue light, he could faintly sense an aura brewing within it.

click!

Just as Ning Xiu was hesitating about whether he should think of a way to transport the egg down from the Azure Dragon Tower, the dragon egg suddenly made a crisp sound, and then, in Ning Xiu's gaze, a crack permeated with a faint light appeared on the surface of the dragon egg.

"Awooo~~~~"

[121] Frenziedly improving martial arts to the first rank

Click click click!

Click click click click!

After the first crack appeared, a large number of spiderweb-like cracks appeared, and the light emanating from inside the dragon egg became increasingly obvious and dazzling.

Finally, a delicate and petite figure emerged from the dragon egg.

Her white hair reached her waist, and she had two small coral-like horns on her head, one purple and one blue.

Its elbows and knees are covered with tiny, colorful dragon scales, and its pupils have a pinkish luster, making it look even more bizarre.

"You...you're actually a female dragon?" Ning Xiu asked in surprise, looking at the dragon-horned girl whose head only reached his chest and observing her physical characteristics.

Having been in contact with this dragon for some time, Ning Xiu had never paid attention to its gender.

To my surprise, it turned out to be a female dragon.

Although it is unknown why the prototype was transformed into a human form, as a human being, one must abide by human rules. Going out naked like this is somewhat indecent and has a bad influence. The main point is that everyone has seen everything.

Ning Xiu took off his robe and handed it to the dragon, saying, "Put this on."

The dragon is an extremely intelligent demon race. Even before it transformed into a human, it could understand the general meaning of human thoughts, let alone now.

She took Ning Xiu's robe and put it on, covering most of the dragon's body. If you didn't look at the two dragon horns on her head, she would look no different from a normal person.

“You…” The dragon looked at Ning Xiu and tried to speak, but the voice that came out was still no different from a dragon roar.

"Where are my two hammers?" Ning Xiu couldn't help but ask, looking at the dragon's flat belly.

The Purple Lightning Hammer and the Thunder Hammer are a pair of supreme weapons, which greatly enhance Ning Xiu's strength. If these two hammers were to malfunction for any reason, Ning Xiu's strength would be significantly reduced.

“In…this…” The dragon lifted its robe, revealing the dragon scales on its legs, and said earnestly.

"You mean... you've digested Purple Lightning and Thunder Hammer?"

"Hmm... Hmm!" The dragon nodded decisively in response.

Ning Xiu's expression instantly turned melancholy. Good heavens, those were a pair of priceless treasures, and you, a dragon, just devoured them all, leaving me with absolutely no benefit.

"Ning, Ning, I want Ning." Seeing Ning Xiu's expression, the dragon suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, calling out in a coquettish manner.

"Ning? You mean her given name, right?"

"Mmm... mmm!"

In terms of intelligence, the newly transformed dragon is no different from an adult; it's just that its ability to express itself is not very mature, which makes it seem childish.

After all, demons have their own way of thinking, and humans have theirs.

Now that this dragon has absorbed Ning Xiu's Purple Lightning Thunder Hammers, it will naturally be bound to Ning Xiu from now on and cannot be separated easily, otherwise Ning Xiu will suffer a great loss.

Ning Xiu then seriously considered what name he should give her.

Looking at the colorful dragon scales on the dragon's legs and arms, Ning Xiu suddenly had a quick idea and said directly, "Then you can be called Long Ning."

……

"Where are the elders? Where have you locked them up? Tell me now!"

The Xuan Clan, who had already occupied the Four Symbols Altar, kept capturing demons from the Black Heaven Gate or demon soldiers from the Elephant Kingdom and interrogating them. Under their cruel methods, some people soon couldn't withstand the pressure and revealed the location where the Xuan Clan elders were being held. In a short time, a large number of Xuan Clan members left.

The purpose of our visit was twofold: to rescue people and to capture Fang Jingzhou and bring him back to Da Shang. Now that our objectives have been achieved, it's time to leave.

After all, this is Sixiang Prefecture, the territory of the Baishan Elephant Kingdom. If they realize this and send out a reclusive expert from the Elephant Kingdom who can rival Li Xianhe, then the situation will become very complicated.

After reuniting with Long Ning and Li Xianhe, the war had ended, but Fatty Tuo was still nowhere to be seen. Everyone immediately realized that something had probably happened to Fatty Tuo.

This can be seen from the fact that the spirit of Xuanwu still exists in the Xuanwu Pagoda.

But there is no time to grieve for the deaths of our colleagues; the most important thing right now is to get out of Sixiang Prefecture as soon as possible.

“There are too many of us, so it’s not advisable for us to move together. We’ll be easily spotted by the demon sentries. Each of us should choose a different direction.” Li Xianhe, as the highest-ranking Golden Dragon Demon Subduer among them, immediately began to plan the evacuation route.

As the one who found Fang Jingzhou, Ning Xiu was responsible for escorting Fang Jingzhou back to Da Shang. As long as nothing unexpected happened, the mission of the Demon Subduing Summoning Order would be considered completed by him.

In addition, Ning Xiu, who possesses the first-class incarnation of the Demon Buddha, was also entrusted by Li Xianhe with a portion of the injured Demon Subduing Guards.

These Demon Slayers have been tortured for many days. If they are not protected, they are likely to have accidents on the road. Every Demon Slayer is the lifeblood of the Demon Slayer Bureau and cannot be lost. It is best not to sacrifice them if possible.

Besides Ning Xiu, Li Xianhe, Ning Lian, and He Kuang also took on some of the protection duties for the injured Demon Subduer.

After everything was assigned, everyone quickly left the area where the Four Symbols Altar was located, each in their own direction of evacuation.

It is believed that soon, the demons of the White Mountain Elephant Kingdom will realize that the Four Symbols Altar has been destroyed.

……

Half an hour after Ning Xiu and the others left.

Suddenly, a large amount of brilliant silver light surged from the direction of the Elephant Kingdom of White Mountain, and one after another, elephant demons wearing silver armor landed. Judging from their thick and huge tusks, these were all great elephant demons who had existed for a long time, and were far more powerful than the elephant demons like Xiang Tie who were openly known.

It is precisely because of the existence of these reclusive elephant demons that the Shang Dynasty has been unable to conquer and reclaim the Four Elephant Provinces.

"The Four Symbols Altar has been destroyed. Judging from this, it's someone who's about to enter the Upper Realm of Dragon Elephant. The Demon Subduing Division has sent a promising talent this time." A one-eyed old elephant demon examined the Four Symbols Altar and said, looking at the huge crack that Li Xianhe had forcefully cleaved out.

“In that case, we can’t let this guy leave Sixiang Prefecture alive. The Shang Dynasty dared to send people here this time, so they have to pay a price and know the cost of attacking my White Elephant Kingdom,” said another old elephant demon.

"Don't worry, they can't get far."
