Chapter 116: Chapter 74: His Most Terrifying Power Is Defense, 4,000 Years of Power_3

[Young Master Bai Xiang: Seventh Grade of Core Formation Demon Fiend, feeds on humans]

[Kill him and gain 2800 years of power]

The allure of 2,800 years of power made Wei Fan’s eyes flash with fervor.

However, he understood that he couldn’t kill Young Master Bai Xiang, even if the other stood still for him to slash and hack for ages.

This Young Master Bai Xiang had already revealed his true form in battle with Zhang Xianlong, a giant, snow-white elephant towering over ten meters tall. Every step shook the earth like it was being torn apart, an aura as terrifying as an avalanche.

"Do we need to keep fighting? All your subordinates are already dead!"

Zhang Xianlong retreated explosively, standing far away with his hands behind his back.

Young Master Bai Xiang transformed into human form, looking over with a shadowy expression, realizing the Tiger Demon and Fox Demon were all dead, while their target, Wei Fan, remained unscathed.

"These worthless creatures, having such an advantage and still getting counter-killed!"

Young Master Bai Xiang did not continue the fight, his gaze returning to Zhang Xianlong: "I underestimated you, Zhang Xianlong. You’re even stronger than the rumors say. Once I break through to the Eighth Grade of Core Formation, I’ll come for you."

Then he turned his eyes to Wei Fan: "And you, with your Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, I hope next time I come to kill you, you’re qualified to fight me."

Wei Fan’s expression turned cold, intending to take out the Golden Bell to suppress and kill Young Master Bai Xiang.

But before he could make his next move, the figure summoned a demonic wind and disappeared into the sky.

Wei Fan turned back, using the Celestial Crystal Saber to carve out a demon pill larger than a chicken egg from the Hu Yao he killed on the first day. According to the Demon Suppression Bureau’s rules, the merits could be shared with Li Chuyang, but the demon pill was his.

He also claimed the demon pill from the first Fox Demon he slew.

After collecting the two demon pills, Zhang Xianlong flew over as well.

Situ Ying walked forward: "Brother, why did you let that demon fiend run? If we had united, we might have killed him. I’ve never killed a Seventh Grade of Core Formation Great Demon."

With a splutter...

Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Xianlong spat a mouthful of blood.

Situ Ying was astonished and hurriedly supported Zhang Xianlong.

Zhang Xianlong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Spitting out this blood feels much better. You think I would let it go if I could kill it? That’s Young Master Bai Xiang, carrying a king’s bloodline among demons. Just being able to contend with him for so long is no easy feat.

If your battle results hadn’t come in, I was going to run."

He wasn’t one to stubbornly fight to the death. If he couldn’t win, he would run; there’s no need to die together, which is also a survival rule among Demon Hunters.

The Demon Suppression Guard will never abandon comrades when encountering demon fiends, but Demon Hunters won’t fight to the death. If they die, they have nothing.

Only by staying alive can they avenge their comrades.

He spoke openly about this, unafraid of offending his junior brother, Situ Ying.

After all, it was his first meeting with Wei Fan, and he was only merely familiar with Li Chuyang—far from being considered friends. But Situ Ying was his junior brother.

Situ Ying took a deep breath: "Is that guy really that powerful?"

Only he knew how formidable his master brother Zhang Xianlong was. In the same realm, there seemed to be no one he had ever heard of him losing to, yet this time, killing a demon fiend of the same realm required him to trick his opponent through sheer endurance.

Zhang Xianlong nodded: "In those days, my Dantian True Qi was around forty years; to rival that beast requires at least sixty years of True Qi. If not for my Sword Intent being at Perfection, which caused him unease, I’d have been smacked to death by now."

Li Chuyang pointed to Wei Fan, asking: "What about him?"

Zhang Xianlong looked at Wei Fan with a complicated expression: "Probably could be smacked to death in a few slaps. What do you think Horizontal Cultivation of Innate is? If it weren’t to warn these demons, how could it be worth such a hefty price to get him killed?"

He always prided himself as a prodigy—achieving Sword Intent Perfection at the Celestial Human Seventh Layer was already a proud accomplishment. But this genius before him reached Sword Intent Perfection at the Acupoint Realm.

When he was at the Acupoint Realm, his Sword Intent was merely at entry-level.

Horizontal Cultivation of Innate!

He always thought Horizontal Cultivation of Innate was about a physically strong body, with Supreme True Qi protecting his body. Sword Intent was enough to offset the disadvantage between True Qi and physical strength.

But true Horizontal Cultivation of Innate either requires great comprehension or outstanding roots.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Wei Fan bowed to Situ Ying.

The Evil Ancestor God was dead, and there was no more need for guarding. Whether they should return or go elsewhere for posting depended on Situ Ying’s arrangement.

Zhang Xianlong said: "We should leave immediately, Young Master Bai Xiang might come back if he senses my bluff."

Situ Ying’s expression changed: "Listen to my master brother, go call the others and let’s leave together. Leave tonight."

Wei Fan wasn’t particularly scared of Young Master Bai Xiang returning.

If the guy dared to return, he would brandish the Golden Bell to kill him without hesitation.

As they entered Dingyang Town, they heard shouts of battle, firelight illuminating half the town. As they neared their stationed courtyard, they found it heavily surrounded by the townspeople, with Li Fengyi and the others standing coldly outside in a standoff.

They hadn’t made any moves, and the townsmen, due to their martial status, although shouting for blood, dared not attack. They were merely clamoring to kill them.

Wei Fan and his companions descended from the air among the crowd, bringing relief to Li Fengyi and the others.

Wei Fan inquired: "What’s going on?"

Li Fengyi quickly turned to explain—it turned out that the Evil Spirits had urged the townspeople to kill Li Fengyi and the Demon Suppression Guard to vent their frustration, knowing they would never return after trying to seize Wei Fan’s body.

But the peasants he raised were ordinary people, who didn’t dare to harm Li Fengyi and others.

Seeing these simple people wanting to please the Evil Spirits while fearing their martial prowess, Wei Fan calmly said: "Your Evil Ancestor God attacked Demon Suppression Bureau personnel and has been killed. Leave quickly, or assaulting Demon Suppression Bureau personnel is a capital crime."

Boom...

No sooner had he spoken than the bustling crowd fell silent.

Followed by wails and cries:

"Our Ancestor God is dead, who will protect us now?"

"They’re lying to us; they’re deceiving us."

"I don’t believe it; how could the Ancestor God be dead!"

"They killed the Ancestor God, avenge the Ancestor God!"

...

A previous encounter, Ding Wen, glared with vengeful eyes. Serving the Ancestor God in the temple granted him not only food and drink provided by others but also allowed him to run rampant in the town. With the Ancestor God dead, all of that was gone.

What’s more, his past wrongdoings might invite retribution.

Others shared similar thoughts with Ding Wen; most experienced little effect on their lives with the Ancestor God gone. Without it, they no longer needed to deplete their Essence Qi in offerings, but those who benefited from the Ancestor God suffered greatly.

"Kill those who murdered the god!"

Ding Wen drew his saber and charged at Wei Fan first; to maintain his prestige, he needed to make a stand even if he couldn’t truly strike the Demon Suppression Guard.

With a flick of the blade...

Ding Wen’s head rolled to the ground.

[Killed Ding Wen, gained 3 years of power]

[Current power: 4036 years]

From their first meeting, the panel prompted Wei Fan to want to kill this guy. Although he hadn’t killed anyone, he had abused women under the guise of a protector.

With other drawn blades, the heads of several others fell.

"Your Ancestor God could kill, and so can I. Try advancing again, and you’ll join your Ancestor God in the afterlife."

The once noisy crowd of a thousand fell into deadly silence, none daring to advance, cowering in fear at the sight of the headless corpses of Ding Wen and the others.

It was then they understood the previous Demon Suppression Bureau’s restraint wasn’t out of fear but kindness. This new Demon Suppression Guard was clearly ruthless and bloodthirsty.

"Let’s go; we need to leave here by tonight!"

Calling out to Li Fengyi and the others to gather their belongings, the group departed from Dingyang Town under the cover of night.

A day and a half later, they appeared at the gates of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
