Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

When Ning Xiu called him, Chang Fenghai quickly ran over: "Team Leader."

“If you fight her, you have to win beautifully,” Ning Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Song Ciying couldn't help but show a hint of disdain. Chang Fenghai's aura was completely that of an ordinary person.

How could someone who looks so weak and helpless possibly want to beat me?

Chang Fenghai nodded and replied, "Yes."

Ning Xiu looked at Song Ciying: "If you can beat him, then everything that just happened is my fault."

"Arrogant!" Song Ciying clenched her fists. She had lived on the border of the Great Shang Dynasty since she was a child. She was warlike and had good talent. Now she had achieved some success.

Unless he encounters someone of the highest rank, Song Ciying has the ability to defeat them.

Ning Xiu dared to obstruct her, and Song Ciying naturally wanted to teach Ning Xiu a lesson. However, he casually dragged a mortal to be her enemy, which really annoyed Song Ciying.

Because Ning Xiu's rise to power is still relatively recent and he frequently travels out on missions, there may not be many Demon-Slaying Officers in the entire Jingzhou Demon-Slaying Division who recognize his identity, let alone those in the Frontier Demon-Slaying Division.

Therefore, very few people knew Ning Xiu's background, and naturally, they all watched with amusement.

As Ning Xiu walked to the edge of the empty field, many people booed him dismissively.

“I will fight you on behalf of the team leader,” Chang Fenghai said, looking at Song Ciying.

What awaited him was a sharp whip kick. Although Song Ciying thought Chang Fenghai was an ordinary person, she showed no mercy whatsoever.

Since Ning Xiu dared to send Chang Fenghai into battle, I must also be careful and fight with all my might.

call out!

In an instant, Song Ciying roared out, charging towards Chang Fenghai like a fierce tiger.

However, Chang Fenghai showed no reaction, seemingly just an ordinary person.

Just as Song Ciying was wondering, Chang Fenghai, who had been unremarkable, suddenly had his robes billow and his aura change instantly.

He then made a hand seal with his fingers and said, "Disciple Chang Fenghai, please help me, Aunt Hu!"

In an instant, Chang Fenghai's expression changed drastically, and he began to look like a fox, with a few long, thin whiskers growing on his cheeks.

The fingernails on all five fingers suddenly grew long and had sharp edges.

But the changes didn't stop there. In an instant, patches of blue snake scales grew on Chang Fenghai's body, covering his entire body and making him look incredibly eerie.

"Why do you only look for Aunt Hu from Fox Hill Village, and not call me Mangqiu Liu from Python Clan Cave?"

A chilling voice rang out from Chang Fenghai's mouth, and at the same time, the pupils of his eyes turned into a vertical blue line—the eyes of a snake!

Mangqiu Liu came uninvited.

Seeing the two great demon immortals possess him at the same time, Ning Xiu smiled and said, "That's interesting."

[128] The Emperor Arrives

The moment the two demon immortals possessed him, Chang Fenghai's entire aura changed instantly.

Originally, Song Ciying felt that Chang Fenghai was just an ordinary person, but when the two demons appeared, she immediately had a very dangerous premonition.

"It's a demon!" Song Ciying was very surprised. She couldn't understand why a demon would dare to appear here openly.

Taichan Mountain is now the temporary headquarters of the Demon Subduing Division, filled with its experts. Even a first-rank demon would never return.

Song Ciying was a member of the Frontier Demon Subduing Division, but he was unaware that there were shamans in Donghai Prefecture who could use the power of demons and immortals to strengthen themselves, and this method was still not included in the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Therefore, many people present only had a vague understanding of Chang Fenghai's strength and methods, and some even suspected that he might actually be a demon.

However, the confrontation between Chang Fenghai and Song Ciying was already inevitable.

Faced with Song Ciying's attack, Chang Fenghai stood calmly in place and met her head-on.

Song Ciying practiced martial arts, specializing in boxing. His fists were as hard as iron, capable of crushing rocks and shattering stones.

But when she punched Chang Fenghai in the palm, she found that it was as if she had hit a piece of hardened steel, and it had no effect at all.

On the contrary, the recoil from Chang Fenghai's palm caused Song Ciying to feel a slight pain in her wrist.

Without giving any reaction, Chang Fenghai's left palm transformed into a snake shape, aiming cunningly at Song Ciying's neck. This is a vulnerable spot in the human body, and even a martial artist would lose a significant amount of strength in a short time if struck here.

Song Ciying quickly turned her head to block, but Chang Fenghai reacted even faster, grabbing her hair and slamming her to the ground.

boom!

Song Ciying was caught off guard, and the continuous impact with the ground caused cracks to appear.

Many people were secretly shocked when they saw this scene; it must have hurt terribly.

Song Ciying gritted her teeth, holding her breath, and did not allow herself to be affected by the shock from Chang Fenghai's attack.

With a scorpion-like kick, she forcefully struck Chang Fenghai's temple with an astonishing arc.

This attack would have had a significant impact on anyone, but Chang Fenghai's snake scales covered his entire body, making him look like he was wearing armor, completely blocking Song Ciying's offensive.

When Song Ciying's first attack failed, Chang Fenghai quickly grabbed her right ankle, pulled her up and swung her around violently. Song Ciying was now like a long whip, being repeatedly slammed to the ground in his hands.

After several rounds, even Song Ciying's strength could not withstand such an attack. She became dizzy and her consciousness gradually faded.

Anyone with eyes could see that Song Ciying was already in a losing position. Just then, a furious shout suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Where did this demon come from, daring to run wild here!"

With a whoosh, a fiery palm print descended from the sky, striking Chang Fenghai from behind with overwhelming force.

Caught off guard, Chang Fenghai was struck squarely, coughing up a mouthful of blood as he flew through the air.

The person who struck him had no intention of letting him go and continued to pursue him, still aiming a palm strike at Chang Fenghai's face.

This palm strike was powerful; if it had landed, Chang Fenghai's life would have been in grave danger. Seeing his teammate being ambushed and on the verge of death, Ning Xiu made his move at that moment.

"It's a fair spar, why are you interfering?" Ning Xiu leaped forward, blocking the man's path, and simultaneously threw a punch to meet the blow head-on.

boom!

As the two collided, ripples spread through the air, causing the surrounding demon-subduing officers to stagger back several steps, unable to maintain their footing.

The man who made the move was a long-haired, thin man with skin as wrinkled as dried meat that had been dried for many years. His eagle eyes were ruthless and extremely vicious.

After Ning Xiu exchanged a punch with him, the skinny man was immediately thrown back several feet, but in terms of strength, he was no match for Ning Xiu.

"As a second-rank martial artist, to challenge a junior like this, you really aren't afraid of losing face," Ning Xiu said with a smile after landing.

Although Ning Xiu had not met all of the top three ranks in the Jingzhou Demon Subduing Division, he recognized them all. The person in front of him was undoubtedly from the Frontier Demon Subduing Division.

Although both the Frontier and Jingzhou Demon-Subduing Divisions belong to the same origin, they have been at odds with each other in certain aspects for many years and cannot stand each other.

"What junior? The Great Shang and the demon race are sworn enemies. If any demon dares to appear before me, I have an obligation to kill them," the skinny man said, clenching his fist.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be surprised. Don't be fooled by his thin appearance; that's just an appearance. As a second-rank martial artist, Yan Fei was very confident in his strength.

Unexpectedly, with just one punch today, it was clear that I was no match for Ning Xiu, which shows that the opponent's strength is far above mine.

When did the Jingzhou Demon Subduing Division produce such a young martial arts master of the highest rank?

“He’s not a demon, he’s one of my men. It’s just that his methods are beyond human comprehension, so he looks no different from a demon. You acted without investigating properly. If you really killed someone, what crime would you be guilty of?” Ning Xiu nodded and said, “You should also know what kind of place Mount Taichan is now. There are countless Silver Tiger Demon-Subduing Officers stationed here. Use your brain to think, how could any demon be so audacious as to break into Mount Taichan at this time and even fight with a Demon-Subduing Officer?”

After Ning Xiu said this, the nearby audience members all nodded in agreement.

Yan Fei, however, said seriously, "Even if they use the methods of the demon race, how are they any different from demons? They are your subordinates, so you have failed to discipline them properly and should be dismissed from your post."

"Whether I discipline people or not is none of your business to comment, but you attacked a Demon-Subduing Officer without investigation, and that deserves severe punishment. Seeing that you are a second-rank martial artist, it seems that no one has the right to discipline you under normal circumstances, so today I will personally teach you a lesson."

"Such arrogance, trying to teach me a lesson! You're not even close."

Ning Xiu took a step forward and arrived in front of Yan Fei in an instant. Before the other party could react, he struck him with a palm.

Snapped!

The palm strike was swift and powerful, catching Yan Fei completely off guard. Combined with Ning Xiu's strength, Yan Fei was unable to control himself and spun around several times before being forced back.

With Ning Xiu's current strength, a mere second-rank martial artist is indeed not qualified to act arrogantly in front of him.

This is only because Ning Xiu hasn't used his full strength. If he were to unleash his full power, Yan Fei wouldn't last more than two rounds against him before losing his life.

Being watched by so many demon-slaying officers in public was something Yan Fei couldn't stand, and he certainly wouldn't allow himself to lose face.

He and Ning Xiu belonged to the Jingzhou Demon Subduing Division and the Frontier Demon Subduing Division respectively. Although both belonged to the Demon Subduing Division, they would compete with each other to some extent behind the scenes. This idea had been deeply ingrained in the minds of every Demon Subduing Officer. If Yan Fei were to lose face for the Frontier Demon Subduing Division at this moment, even if he was only a second-rank martial artist, he would definitely become the subject of gossip in the future.

Yan Fei suddenly charged forward, unleashing both palms simultaneously. Immediately, abundant internal energy surged forth, and two giant palms with fiery patterns appeared, striking Ning Xiu one after the other under Yan Fei's control.

People say that in a friendly spar, you should leave room for error and only use 60% of your full strength. But Ning Xiu felt a strong gust of wind from the palm strike scraping his face. It was clear that Yan Fei was going all out with this attack.

The fact that two high-ranking Demon-Subduing Officers were fighting here had undoubtedly attracted the attention of many Silver Tiger Demon-Subduing Officers hiding in the shadows.

At this point, no one stepped forward to stop it or act as a peacemaker; clearly, many people were secretly watching and enjoying the spectacle.

Generally speaking, there are only two reasons why this kind of thing happens. One is that those people are not familiar with Ning Xiu and his companion. Since they don't know each other, there is naturally no need for them to step forward and dissuade them.

Secondly, Ning Xiu and his companion were not well-liked, which meant that no one was willing to step forward and help them.

Ning Xiu was naturally the former. Within the Demon Subduing Division, he didn't know many Silver Tiger Demon Subduing Officers. The one he knew best was Qin Daorong, and the two weren't really that close.

As far as Ning Xiu knows, Qin Daorong is not currently at Taichan Mountain.

Faced with Yan Fei's two palm strikes, Ning Xiu wanted to test the arrogance of everyone present.

With his current strength, he is fully capable of being promoted to Golden Dragon Demon Slayer, making him one of the top figures in the entire Demon Slayer Division.

Since there is such a reckless provocation from the frontier demon-suppressing officer, there is no need for me to indulge him.

In an instant, Ning Xiu unleashed his full Heavenly Gang Inner Force, and one of his arms transformed into the Black Heavenly Pagoda.

Punch out!

boom!

With the enhancement of the fifth level of Dengfeng's power, this was just an ordinary punch, yet it unleashed an extremely terrifying force.

In front of Ning Xiu, the ground, which was two zhang wide, was instantly crushed by the fist energy, which surged dozens of zhang like a long dragon.

The entire Taichan Mountain was buzzing and shaking at this moment, as if an earth dragon had turned over.

"You..." Yan Fei collapsed to the ground in shock, his legs trembling slightly as he looked at Ning Xiu.

Just now, Ning Xiu's punch grazed over Yan Fei's head, which saved Yan Fei's life. Otherwise, if he had faced it head-on, Yan Fei was absolutely certain that he would have died.
