Upon hearing this.
Jiang Yuechu slowly opened her eyes, shaking off the snow accumulated on her shoulders.
A flash of gold and blue fire flickered in her eyes; her gaze did not turn toward the gate, but instead fell upon the Demons remaining in the square.
Her gaze was calm, yet it made Old Scarlet Flood Dragon's heart skip a beat for some reason.
"No rush... wait for me here for a moment."
Red Sun Demon Venerable was stunned.
Wait?
Wait for what?
Entering one step earlier means one more chance.
Before he could speak again to persuade her.
The black-clad figure had already stood up.
Her long hair danced wildly in the wind, revealing her slender neck.
Jiang Yuechu tidied her slightly messy cuffs and then stepped forward, her right hand hanging low as something slid from her sleeve into her palm.
In the next moment.
A flash of crimson lit up.
First an inch, then a foot, finally transforming into a Guan Dao.
Jiang Yuechu's wrist sank slightly as she held the long blade behind her back.
The sudden movement finally alerted the Demons in the square.
"That is..."
An Old Flood Dragon sitting cross-legged on the ground frowned and opened his eyes with some displeasure.
It was originally just a casual glance.
But with this look, his dark green eyes could no longer turn away.
It wasn't just him.
The surrounding Demons,
all turned their heads in unison at this moment.
Where their gazes converged.
The young girl dragged her blade with one hand, her black clothes fluttering.
The look in her eyes inexplicably sent a chill through the Demons' hearts.
A Demon subconsciously muttered, "What is she... trying to do?"
If she were to brave the Dragon Washing Pool, the gate was ahead.
If she wanted to leave, the paths were on both sides.
Approaching like this with a blade in hand, brimming with Killing Intent.
Could it be... In the distance.
Red Sun Demon Venerable was already dumbfounded.
This, this, this... what is she doing?!
Before the Demons could regain their senses.
Boom—!!!
Billowing black mist suddenly erupted, centered on the young girl.
Amidst the churning mist, there were faint, piercing shrieks of Demons.
The face of a Mountain-Viewing Realm Demon Venerable standing guard darkened, and several Reverse Scales on the back of his neck suddenly lit up.
He reached back and pulled at his spine.
He actually pulled a pale Bone Spear right out of his spine.
With this Bone Spear, he had slain countless great Demons; a ferocious aura rushed toward her.
With a flick of his wrist, the spear shot out like a dragon.
Wrapped in the swirling snow, it pierced straight toward the young girl.
Clang!
The Guan Dao blocked in front of her.
Black-red Evil Qi and demonic light collided fiercely.
Her seemingly slender wrist didn't budge an inch.
In contrast, the Bone Spear refined from his own spine let out a wail the moment it touched the red blade, and several cracks split across the shaft.
His pupils shook violently as he stared intently at that crimson long blade.
What kind of blade is this?!
Before he could even catch his breath.
"Attack!"
The Demons finally came to their senses.
Although they didn't know who this girl was, much less when they had provoked such a Maleficent Star.
But since she had already drawn her weapon,
and taken such a stance,
if they didn't do something, wouldn't they be treated as if their long-standing clans with deep Legacies were made of clay?
"Roar!!!"
The Demons originally scattered around also surged forward together.
Five or six great Demons of the Mountain Gazing Realm and over a dozen small Demons of the Zhonglian and Dianmo Realms closed in from all directions.
Some revealed their true forms, while others pulled out their weapons.
In an instant.
Demonic Qi blotted out the sky.
Facing the Demons' siege.
The young girl slightly raised her eyes.
Deep in her eyes, golden fire flashed brilliantly.
In the next moment.
With a slight turn of her wrist, she raised the long blade she had been holding behind her.
Boom—!!!
On the crimson blade, a blood-light suddenly appeared.
The Guan Dao swept across.
A half-moon-shaped blood-red blade light swept forward!
It was as if a river of blood had been splashed onto the mortal realm by this single strike.
In the blink of an eye.
On the pure white snow, a fan-shaped pool of blood appeared.
More than twenty figures fell to the ground together.
The hot, metallic Demon blood instantly melted the snow, sending up clouds of pungent white mist.
One strike.
Just one single strike.
There were no survivors.
Jiang Yuechu slowly withdrew her blade, her long eyelashes drooping, not looking at the carnage on the ground.
[Killed a Mountain Gazing Realm creature, gained 49,621 years of Dao Cultivation]
[Killed a Mountain Gazing Realm creature, gained 51,233 years of Dao Cultivation]
[Killed a Mountain Gazing Realm creature, gained 48,910 years of Dao Cultivation]
...[Killed a Zhonglian Realm creature, gained 5,422 years of Dao Cultivation]
[Killed a Dianmo Realm creature, gained 1,345 years of Dao Cultivation]
...The dense notifications scrolled past like a waterfall.
Jiang Yuechu calculated silently.
This wave alone had netted her over 340,000 years of Dao Cultivation!
Adding that to her remaining savings.
[Current Dao Cultivation: 753,272 years]
She hadn't even entered the Dragon Washing Pool yet.
Just this appetizer was already so bountiful.
If she went inside... what then?
In a great mood, billowing black Qi erupted from the acupoints all over the girl's body, like hungry ghosts escaping a cage, instantly enveloping the surrounding Demon corpses.
Dozens of demon souls were forcibly torn from their broken bodies by the black mist.
Some were still confused, some were full of terror, and some were even still baring their claws and teeth, attempting a final struggle like trapped beasts.
Jiang Yuechu's expression was indifferent as she suddenly clenched her fingers.
Poof.
The demon souls filling the air were instantly swept up and squeezed by the black mist, finally turning into dozens of light orbs of various colors.
"Collect."
Jiang Yuechu took a deep breath.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The light orbs scrambled to crash into the major acupoints across the girl's body.
The blood and Qi within her body roared like a surging river, washing over the banks.
Left shoulder, right knee, spine... as the light orbs entered her body, patterns flickered beneath her originally smooth skin before sinking deep into her flesh.
Although most were demon souls of the Mountain Gazing Realm at best, and their quality wasn't top-tier.
But they made up for it in sheer quantity.
In just a few breaths.
Dozens more acupoints were filled.
Jiang Yuechu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, feeling comfortable... this feeling of growing stronger bit by bit was truly fascinating.
Then she silently absorbed the Essence from the Demon corpses.
Red Sun Demon Venerable's throat bobbed; he was filled with regret.
At this moment, how could he not have realized what kind of thing he had brought back?!
This... such ruthless methods... he was pushing the entire Flood Dragon Clan into a fire pit!
If other flood dragons found out in the future that he, Red Sun, had led this Maleficent Star in,
they would probably flip the lid of his coffin!
Run.
Must run!
While she hasn't noticed me yet, run quickly!
Red Sun Demon Venerable held his breath, concealing all his Demonic Qi.
He carefully turned around, his left foot lifting gently.
He was preparing to silently launch into the air and flee at the fastest speed of his life.
An indifferent voice echoed softly in his ear.
"Where are you going?"
Red Sun Demon Venerable's body suddenly stiffened.
He slowly turned his head.
He saw the young girl, who had somehow appeared less than three feet behind him, tilting her head and looking at him expressionlessly.
"I... I..."
Before he could finish, the girl interrupted, "Stop 'I'-ing and lead the way."
Having said that, ignoring his reaction, she walked toward the tall building on her own.
"..."
Bitterness welled up in Red Sun Demon Venerable's heart, but he could only follow, moving forward inch by inch.
He sighed in his heart.
Not only had he invited a wolf into his home, but looking at the situation, he was likely going to be forced to act as a guide for the enemy.
It's over.
This time, it's really over.
