Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

Faced with the onslaught of numerous evil spirits triggered by the seven people playing together, Ning Xiu unleashed a powerful punch, causing layers of sonic booms to explode instantly, forming a shockwave that enveloped the seven people.

boom!

The sound waves and the force of the punches collided violently in the air, tearing the earth apart and creating numerous cracks.

The clods of earth were blown into the air and swirled around, but Ning Xiu's methods were not simply based on brute force.

From the sky, two long spears swirled down, aiming to pierce the old man and the beautiful woman among the seven.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. A giant hand blocked the advancing Yin Liu and Zhu Long, preventing them from being penetrated.

This was the first time Ning Xiu had encountered such a defense since he had been using the Heavenly Might Divine Spear for so long.

Behind the seven demons, a huge half-human figure slowly appeared. It was he who single-handedly blocked Ning Xiu's two spears.

"Yin God, Nine Annihilation," the seven demons said in unison.

【131】Mysterious Man

A chilling wind blew, and amidst the shouts of the demons, a half-body demon statue slowly appeared in mid-air.

His fiery claws gripped Ning Xiu's two spears tightly, preventing Zhulong and Yinliu from advancing even an inch further.

"Such powerful Yin energy! They actually summoned the remnant image of the Yin God!" He Han exclaimed in surprise the moment he saw the demonic statue appear.

The moment Ning Xiu saw the Yin God appear, he immediately activated the Great Black Heaven Body.

The methods of demons are complex and unpredictable. The Demon Subduing Division has strict requirements that everyone must go all out and not underestimate them, lest they be ambushed.

Seeing that the Heavenly Might Divine Spear had been thwarted, Ning Xiu decided to stop holding back and finish the battle quickly to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

"This person is not simple, hurry up and make a move." The fat man among the Seven Demons said seriously, while the other six activated the Yin Gods they had summoned, intending to use the power of the Yin Gods to destroy the two Demon Subduing Officers in front of them.

Under the heavens, mountains, rivers, lakes, buildings, and plants all have the opportunity to awaken self-awareness and then be born with powerful supernatural abilities. If these beings are tainted by yin energy, they will gradually be corrupted and degenerate into yin spirits.

The demons from other realms love to use the power of the Yin Gods as their means, so that they don't need to cultivate to a very high level to use the Yin Gods to kill opponents who are of a higher level than them.

The Yin God summoned by these seven demons was so powerful that Li Xiu was probably no match for them. He took a step forward and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.

Karmic fire erupted from his fists, and he furiously slammed them down.

Facing the karmic fire, the Yin spirit named Jiujimie showed no fear whatsoever. After quickly swallowing the two spears, it slapped out with its claw, intending to meet Li Xiu's punch.

Karmic fire can be said to be the greatest nemesis of any living being with a body. Once you get involved, unless you have a means of resistance, you will be burned by karmic fire and you will not be able to get rid of it no matter what.

Finally, they were burned alive to nothingness, leaving not even their souls behind.

boom!

The moment the Yin God's claws caught Li Xiuye's karmic fire, all the karmic fire was absorbed by the Yin God's palm, completely unaffected.

Upon seeing this, the fat demon couldn't help but smile. Many Yin spirits roam the world, and the Nine Annihilation that they summon is one of the most powerful ones.

Throughout history, when faced with formidable enemies, the Fat Demon has always been able to achieve absolute crushing victory thanks to the Nine Annihilations Technique, without exception.

Ning Xiu was quite surprised to see that the karmic fire could not harm the evil spirits for the first time, but since the karmic fire was not his main method, Ning Xiu did not take it to heart.

boom!

As Ning Xiu's body trembled, his entire body instantly expanded, transforming into a giant several feet tall in just a few breaths, while fire patterns appeared on his body.

A pure yang energy permeated his body, preventing yin energy from penetrating within three feet.

Even though Jiu Jimie made a grand entrance, he paled in comparison to Ning Xiu for a moment.

As Ning Xiu strode forward, his entire body moved with the force of a mountain, and in a few steps he arrived in front of Jiu Jimie, unleashing a fist blazing with fiery patterns.

boom!

The scorching fist energy erupted, and the five layers of fist force instantly overlapped. Jiu Jimie's hands, which could even withstand karmic fire, vanished into thin air. At the same time, Ning Xiu punched through his chest.

burst!

Ning Xiu's internal energy is entirely pure Yang, making him a natural nemesis of Yin spirits like Jiu Ji Mie. Moreover, his strength far surpasses that of others at the same stage, and his power is unstoppable.

When Ning Xiu infused his body with internal energy, Jiu Jimie couldn't help but let out a miserable scream of the Yin spirit. The sound was even more eerie than the night-crying cat. Ordinary people who heard it would be disturbed, their blood would surge, and they would eventually die of depression.

The demons had never seen Jiu Jimie so passive, and even more so, that he had been injured. Was this still the Yin God they always relied on?

Ning Xiu remained unmoved, unleashing the full power of the Great Dark Heaven Body. With a rip from his hands, he tore open the gap in Jiu Ji Mie's chest.

A large amount of Yin energy permeated and leaked from Jiujimie's body, causing the polluted land to turn black and scorched, and plants to wither.

"Ugh!" The fat demon coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and his expression became listless.

To invoke the spirit of the underworld, one must connect with the spirit of the underworld. The two are extremely intertwined. If the spirit of the underworld dissipates, a demon like him will not fare well and will inevitably be severely injured.

Among all the demons, only the fat demon reacted so strongly, which shows that he is the true original among the seven.

Now that the main body had noticed, Ning Xiu abandoned the Nine Extinctions and rushed to the front of the fat demon, throwing a punch at his head.

Even Jiujimie was no match for Ning Xiu, so the fat demon knew that if he were to take a punch, he would lose his life.

The other demons used their own bodies to shield him, attempting to block Ning Xiu's attack for him.

They swiftly played their instruments, and a ferocious giant statue immediately appeared, attempting to block Ning Xiu's attack.

However, demons always seek shortcuts. Although they can obtain great power without effort by relying on the power of the Yin God, they still have the power to fight against the Demon Subduer.

However, if they lose the assistance of the Yin God, their strength will no longer be a concern.

Faced with a punch from Ning Xiu's body, the fat demon could only suffer defeat.

boom!

An invisible wave passed through the fat demon's chest and then exploded from his back, spreading for miles.

The ground was even left with a deep dent, and there were many burn marks on the inner surface of the dent, which was due to the influence of Ning Xiu's internal force.

"Ugh!" The fat demon glared at Ning Xiu with wide eyes, blood streaming from his mouth.

Ning Xiu's punch shattered his internal organs in an instant, leaving him with no chance of survival. The fat demon was now only maintaining a last shred of consciousness and would soon dissipate.

"Those who offend my Demon Subduing Division will be killed without mercy." Ning Xiu waved his hand, and with tremendous force, the fat demon's head was instantly severed.

He Han, who witnessed the whole thing from the side, was somewhat surprised. This was the first time he had gone out on a mission with Ning Xiu.

Before this, he had never imagined that Ning Xiu's strength was so terrifying, exceeding the upper limit of a normal Silver Tiger Demon Subduer.

It's no exaggeration to say that Ning Xiu has already reached the level of the Golden Tiger Demon Subduer.

Letting him deal with these demons would be an absolute crushing victory.

With the death of the fat demon, the other demons immediately froze in place, like puppets with broken strings.

This demon's methods are indeed dazzling. If his true form cannot be killed, other Silver Tiger Demon-Subduing Guards would probably be dragged to their deaths by him.

"Let's go, let's go back and report." Ning Xiu said to He Han, picking up the corpse of the fat demon.

"Oh, okay." He Han quickly followed, and the two soon disappeared into the distance.

High in the sky.

A strange being with azure skin, blue eyes, red hair, and a single horn on his head stood suspended in the clouds, his eyes fixed on Ning Xiu and his companion who were moving rapidly across the ground.

"Peng Futian has not yet shown up, but the Shang Dynasty has already produced such a powerful Demon-Subduing Officer. Their fortune is truly prosperous. But where did this person come from? I have never heard of him before."

[132] Peng Futian

When Ning Xiu and He Han returned to the Demon Subduing Camp, they realized just how serious the situation of today's martial arts exercise had become.

The entire Demon Subduing Camp is in complete chaos. All the high-ranking Demon Subduing Captains who remained in the camp have been mobilized and are extremely busy.

Ning Xiu was immediately noticed when he returned carrying the corpse of the demon.

"Did you two just go out? The situation has changed. You should go to the main camp immediately," a Bronze Leopard Demon-Subduing Captain said as he approached.

Ning Xiu and He Han exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

Throughout history, the Demon-Subduing Martial Arts Competition has always encountered various crises, but never before has it been so urgent.

After handing the demon's corpse to the Bronze Leopard Demon-Subduing Captain, Ning Xiu and He Han quickly ran towards the main camp. Upon entering the tent, they saw Qin Daorong and other familiar Silver Tiger Demon-Subduing Captains gathered inside, each with a serious expression.

An extremely strange atmosphere permeated the camp. Ning Xiu was too embarrassed to ask any questions, so he quickly found a seat with He Han and sat down first.

"So far, more than 20 Demon-Subduing Officers have been killed. According to the Heavenly Official of the Soul Path, this incident was caused by multiple demon forces, and the Black Heaven Gate was undoubtedly the one leading the charge."

A Silver Tiger Demon-Subduing Guard, whose name Ning Xiu couldn't recall, spoke, and then a person shrouded in a loose robe slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner.

The man held a huge green crystal in his hand, and his whole being exuded a mysterious aura.

“The Heavenly Official of the Soul Path!” Ning Xiu was somewhat surprised.

The Soul Path is as rare as the Fortune Path; only one in ten thousand can master it.

In the Great Shang Kingdom, every person with the talent to cultivate the Soul Path would be summoned to the palace by the emperor and appointed as a Heavenly Official.

Ning Xiu had not expected that a Soul Dao Heavenly Official would accompany him on this Demon Subduing Martial Arts Competition.

The Soul Path possesses the ability to summon the souls of the deceased, then converse with them and inquire about the events that occurred during the deceased's life. It can be described as connecting the Yin and Yang realms and prolonging life and death, making it extremely powerful.

Just as Ning Xiu and his companion went out to investigate the situation, Emperor Shang, upon learning of the situation, instructed the Heavenly Official of the Soul Path to lend a hand.

The summoned spirits revealed that those who killed the Demon-Subduing Guards were all demons from other realms.

This Demon-Subduing Martial Arts Competition clearly indicates that the demons from other realms are secretly preparing an operation specifically targeting the Demon-Subduing Division, and what they are doing now is likely just the appetizer.

There might be even bigger moves to come.

The emperor himself is present to witness the demon-subduing martial arts competition. In addition to ensuring the competition's success, the emperor's safety must be guaranteed, and no accidents can occur.

"There are eight groups of demons on the move. This is what they look like. If you are going out, please keep an eye out for them."

The Heavenly Official of the Soul Path waved his hand, and the crystal in his hand immediately lit up with a faint light, from which lifelike images then radiated out.

One by one, the appearances of demons appeared, and Ning Xiu noticed that among them was the fat demon he had just killed.

"The demons from other realms have always had a long history of enmity with our Great Shang Dynasty. This time, their various factions have joined forces, undoubtedly intending to disrupt the progress of the Demon Subduing Martial Arts Competition. I just explained this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty has decided..."

Qin Daorong stood up and looked at everyone present: "The Silver Tiger Demon Subduing Commanders will also participate in this Demon Subduing Martial Arts Competition, but their targets are not ordinary evil spirits, but all the demons in Qingque Prefecture, with these eight groups of demons as the main ones."
