Obviously, there is not much difference, since both methods can completely destroy an ant's nest at will.

Faced with such a power that exceeds one's imagination, all that is needed is awe.

The crimson python was pierced by the bone tree, and beautiful bone flowers bloomed from its body, using its body as nourishment to grow.

Red Ear wasn't dead. You could vaguely see its flesh wriggling, trying to escape. Although its consciousness was about to sink into the boundless darkness, its most basic survival instinct was still stimulating its body.

However, for every bit the body grew and recovered, the pale branches extending from its body also grew an inch.

Dense, white bone branches pierced through flesh and blood, with skin growing out—a scene resembling hell. Perhaps only in hell could one witness such a terrifying sight.

The girl in the white dress walked forward step by step in her pure white shoes. Her steps were very light and slow. Her shoes stepped on the air, and the moisture and wind supported her figure, forming translucent rain lilies under her feet, allowing her to walk up the steps.

When she reached Red Ear, Red Ear managed to open her eyes with difficulty, preventing her consciousness from completely plunging into darkness.

Looking at the girl's white shoes in front of it, it couldn't even lift its head.

The crimson fire in his eyes was gradually dying out.

"Looking at it this way, I'm not that different from Blackscale," it said with a hint of self-deprecation.

It stopped begging for mercy. In this brief encounter, it actually figured out the other party's thoughts, or rather, its attitude.

High and mighty, arrogant...

If the attitude of demons towards humans is like that of humans towards pigs and sheep, then the white-dressed girl floating quietly in front of him, standing in the air, has an even stronger attitude towards demons than demons towards humans.

At the very least, Red Ears could not see any extraneous color in those bottomless black eyes.

Bai Qian floated in mid-air, with raindrops falling from the sky hovering around her, and the falling raindrops automatically avoiding her.

They waited in place for a while, waiting to see if Red Ear had anything else to say.

Seeing that it was no longer saying anything, Bai Qian gently gazed at it and said.

"What to do?"

Hong Er was taken aback by what she heard. She looked up at Bai Qian with difficulty, but she could not see any useful information from that expressionless, cold face.

However, she still realized what Bai Qian wanted to ask.

They probably came to ask me about the future of the gang.

It seems that even someone as powerful as him still needs intelligence and needs to know what's happening.

Thinking this, Red Ears continued to laugh mockingly, and was just about to say that she wouldn't say anything when...

It only felt a pain quietly growing in its body, and a pale white branch emerged from the side of its head, then a second, and a third.

Red Ear could clearly feel his body surrounded by those wildly growing white bones, just like the girl in front of him, and the monster.

She just looked down at Hong Er, and after asking that question, she didn't say anything else.

Her eyes were as clear as a deep pool, so clear that one could not even find their own reflection in them.

Red Ear couldn't speak, perhaps out of fear, or perhaps out of other emotions. Faced with that gaze, it couldn't even utter a word.

There was a moment of silence between the two sides. Rain continued to fall from the sky, and the sharp branches of the Bone Tree continued to grow wildly within its body.

She didn't say anything, but Red Ear felt her heart growing increasingly uneasy under her gaze.

She didn't know why she felt panicked, but it was as if her heart had fallen into an endless blackness, and she couldn't see anything clearly. She just felt as if a monster was staring at her with greedy and cold eyes.

"Name." Finally, the girl in front of him asked again, and her clear voice made Hong Er feel a little relieved.

“Red ears,” it answered instinctively.

It paused for a moment, realizing this wasn't the answer it wanted to give.

"The next move." The clear voice rang out again. This time, Red Ears felt it clearly. Its body seemed to be completely out of its control, like a puppet being controlled by the words of the black-haired girl in front of it.

"As the boss instructed, we're to plunder money to prepare for setting up the formation later. Setting up the formation requires enough gold and copper power; if there isn't enough gold and copper power, the formation's effectiveness will be greatly reduced," he replied blankly.

Bai Qian nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

Bai Qian didn't know much about the [Chen Yao Tong Tian Formation], but she knew that setting up this formation was definitely not simple.

"Did you make the decision so suddenly?" the questioner continued.

"It's all because of you. Originally, according to the boss's plan, it was supposed to start in half a month, but because of you, it decided to start suddenly." Red Ear didn't want to answer, but her body answered involuntarily.

The white bones growing inside the body were not just for show; as they pierced through flesh and blood, they began to control Red Ear's body, leaving Red Ear completely unable to resist.

"where is it?"

"The stolen gold and silver are kept at the gang's headquarters."

"Where is the formation set up?" Bai Qian continued to ask.

Red Ears remained silent upon hearing this, not because it had successfully resisted Bai Qian's control, but simply because it was unaware of the situation.

Bai Qian asked a few more questions, such as where Qinglang's true form was, what its weaknesses were, and who was behind it.

Red Ear stopped answering.

It's not that I don't want to answer, it's just that I can't answer.

After asking these questions, realizing that I wouldn't get any answers, I stopped asking.

He turned and walked towards the ground.

Bai Qian turned around and walked towards the ground.

As Hong Er watched Bai Qian's departing figure, she felt the branches within her body begin to grow wildly, entwining her flesh and blood and drowning her consciousness.

It was somewhat unwilling. It should at least be a cultivator who could dispel illusions. Although it had advanced through crooked means, it shouldn't be this weak. How could it have been killed so easily?

But now, no matter how unwilling I am, it's all meaningless.

As the pure white shoe touched the ground, Red Ear's consciousness completely dissipated, and her body turned into bones, invisibly replaced by them.

Back on the ground, Bai Qian first glanced at Pei Xun.

The old man did not meet Bai Qian's gaze, but simply bowed his head humbly.

This is a sign of respect for the strong.

If he had previously thought that Bai Qian, though not weak, was probably not that strong.

At this moment, he finally understood what his granddaughter was thinking.

It's likely that anyone who saw this ethereal figure would make a decision without hesitation.

That is something worth following with one's life.

Bai Qian landed on the ground and looked at Pei Xun, about to ask him something.

Then, as if remembering something, she turned to look at the doorway.

The man in blue at the door hasn't run away yet; perhaps he still holds some hope for Red Ear.

Looking at them, Bai Qian raised her palm.

Beautiful white bone flowers bloom from their bodies.

One after another, they pierced through their bodies, their cold white branches extending outwards.

The people in blue robes who were still hesitating had no time to react. In the instant Bai Qian looked over and raised her hand, they all turned into trees of white bones.

"Let's go." After doing all this, Bai Qian said to Pei Huan.

Pei Huan blinked in confusion as Bai Qian grabbed his hand.

"What are you doing?" I asked instinctively.

Bai Qian didn't turn around, she just said calmly.

"Kill the demon."

Volume 1: Chapter 172, Changcheng Prefecture Needs to Be Cleaned Up

The woman in green sat with her legs bent in the crimson array, her emerald vertical pupils still holding a hint of surprise.

"Red Ear is dead." This was information it had just received. It wasn't told by anyone, but rather because it had placed a restriction on Red Ear, so it knew as soon as Red Ear died.

But it is precisely because I know this that I am somewhat surprised and doubtful.

Among the monsters under his command, there weren't many powerful ones. Before, he didn't even have a single demon-exorciser comparable to a god. If it weren't for the great demon from Liangdu sending him some things that could help the demon directly advance to become a demon-exorciser, he would probably be facing a shortage of manpower now.

Even so, he only had four of his own Exorcists, and now he only had two left.

She killed both of them...

Thinking about this, Qinglang felt a headache coming on.

That thing, whoever it came from, suddenly appeared.

The most terrifying thing is the power she has displayed.

To say it exceeds the scope of "eliminating falsehoods" is an understatement; it hasn't yet demonstrated power comparable to a demon king. After all, if it were truly at the level of a demon king, it would have already fled the moment it became aware of it.

Although she is not a demon king, judging from the power she has shown, she is already among the most terrifying in the realm of exorcism.

To be honest, it wasn't afraid of its opponent. After all, it was only one step away from becoming a demon king, so it wasn't that afraid. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would win.

However, it is currently unable to focus its attention on transforming into a dragon, and it is unable to spare any energy for other matters.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have used several projections to meet Bai Qian before.

After a moment of silence, it shook its head.

It hadn't figured out what to do, and since it couldn't transform into a dragon and give up, it went to kill the person.

It's not worth it.

Since we can't do that, we'll just have to have our subordinates move things forward.

Anyway, the river god has no power to stop me now, so what I can do next is actually quite simple.

He stood up, intending to have his men come from headquarters and carry out the tasks he had been given.

It is currently in a somewhat remote location, and for safety reasons, it has not informed its subordinates.

She paused slightly, taken aback.

We've discovered we can't get in touch with them.

Or rather, the restrictions I placed on them... all went silent.

In other words...

All dead.

---

Pei Xun still managed to stop Bai Qian and the other person from leaving; it wasn't exactly stopping them, but rather persuading them to stay.

"My lord." This attitude was completely different from when he faced Bai Qian before. Before, he only thought of Bai Qian as a slightly more powerful martial artist, so although he was still quite respectful, he didn't think Bai Qian was very important.

But things are different now. Anyone who witnessed that scene would not treat this person with the slightest carelessness or negligence.

To put it bluntly, based on her performance just now, she could probably single-handedly destroy half of Changcheng Mansion. During this process, no one dared to stop her, nor did they have the right to stop her.

Might makes right.

Pei Xun's only consolation now is that he hadn't been too rude or disrespectful before, and his granddaughter had a good relationship with the other party.

Bai Qian paused twice as she was about to leave, then winked at Pei Xun.

"What's up?" he asked casually, tilting his head slightly.

Upon hearing Bai Qian's question, Pei Xun nodded respectfully.

"If it weren't for you, we don't know what would have become of our Pei family. From any perspective, we have to thank you."

"Would you like to come over for a bit? We'd like to prepare some gifts as a token of our appreciation?" At this point, they decided not to bring up anything about keeping Pei Huan and Bai Qian apart.

This is really unnecessary.

After all, he wasn't stupid. As a businessman, he had a good grasp of these things.

Bai Qian pondered for a moment after hearing this before shaking her head.

"Not today." Although time isn't too tight, compared to the city full of green-clad snake demons, sitting here isn't very nutritious.

Bai Qian really wasn't interested, and besides, who knew if the Qinglang Gang might suddenly shrink and run away?
