A family head of a noble family died suddenly and mysteriously.
Even to his death, he couldn't clarify how Su Heng had struck.
Watching the scene before him,
Zhou Batong's heart trembled violently, and he could no longer muster any thoughts of resistance.
He now only hoped the Green Spirit Demon King would delay just a bit, creating an opportunity for him.
He tapped the ground with his foot, turned around, and wanted to leave the battlefield, fleeing as far as he could. He was even willing to give up his position as the head of the family just to survive. After all, with his strength, no matter where he went, the world was vast and open to him.
"Huff—"
But Zhou Batong had barely taken two steps when a gust of wind surged towards him.
Already seriously injured and caught off guard, he was lifted off the ground and sent flying.
Extreme fear.
His mind initially went blank.
By the time he realized, a streak of green light flashed past him, and he recognized it was an act of the Green Spirit Demon King.
"You motherfucking bastard! Bitch, whore!" Zhou Batong's face turned red with rage as he cursed loudly and turned around to see Su Heng getting closer and closer to him.
"I—Bang!"
The plea for mercy had no chance to be voiced.
A dark iron fist then smashed down from above, and Zhou Batong's corpulent body exploded on impact.
Blood splattered everywhere, vaporizing into a crimson fog. Bits of bone and flesh, caught in the violent wind, floated mid-air, obscuring the view.
The Green Spirit Demon King, already in mid-air, turned around.
The high-pressure air orb held in her hand suddenly exploded, and instantly, hundreds of wind blades violently smashed down towards Su Heng.
The air tore apart, and the moonlight twisted.
Incisive wind blades fiercely lashed Su Heng's body.
On the ground below him, a narrow ravine abruptly appeared, with the floor shattered and mud splattering.
However, Su Heng stood unmoved in the center of the crater, from beginning to end, like an immovable steel mountain.
The sharp wind blades that could easily slice through buildings and crush stones couldn't even leave a light scratch on his scale armor.
Hiss!
Nevertheless, the Green Spirit Demon King hadn't intended to harm him in the first place.
Her aim was only to buy time.
Compared to traditional martial artists and demons, owning wings was undoubtedly a significant advantage for the Green Spirit Demon King.
While the battlefield for other martial artists and demons was two-dimensional, the Green Spirit Demon King's battlefield was three-dimensional.
She could attack from unexpected angles.
Moreover, even when facing formidable foes, she could fly away into the sky and escape.
Flying hundreds to thousands of meters high, even if her opponent was very strong, they could only stand on the ground and stare helplessly, unable to reach her.
By using this tactic,
The Green Spirit Demon King had escaped dangerous situations several times before, and it seemed this time was no exception.
"Huff..."
Flying to mid-air, she gently placed her hand over her chest.
She took a deep breath and turned back to look.
Just as the Green Spirit Demon King's muscles began to relax, they suddenly tensed, and her pupils froze, trembling in their sockets.
On the ground in the plaza,
Su Heng bent his knees, sank down, and with a fierce thrust of his foot, propelled himself downward powerfully.
Boom!
Huge cracks distorted and spread underfoot, covering the entire square before exploding loudly, scattering dust and debris. The violent gust swept around, and the completely shattered ground rolled up and down like water waves. The buildings in the surrounding blocks collapsed outward in patches, resembling blooming reeds.
Even the Demon Suppression Tower was affected, shaking violently. Thick, fierce chains stretched taut and quivered with a creaking noise.
In the air above, vast expanses of golden Earth Vein Array Patterns emerged.
And with this violent recoil force,
Su Heng's body suddenly disappeared from the square, enveloped in a wild wind, soaring into the sky like a rocket. An astonishing oppressive force came head-on, and the Green Spirit Demon King's long hair unfurled and danced wildly.
"How is this possible!?" Watching the pitch-dark figure rapidly enlarging and approaching in his line of sight, along with a thunderous, fierce laughter,
The Green Spirit Demon King's face was full of horror, and his chest trembled with the terrifying laughter resonating within.
Swish!
She dared not stay any longer.
Summoning the strong winds, flapping her wings.
The speed increased again, and she changed directions in midair, hoping to shake Su Heng off this way.
Bang bang!
In an instant, he had charged into the battlefield outside, his mighty energy bursting forth, with screams following one after another incessantly.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Heng returned to the square beneath the Demon Suppression Tower.
His body and hands were stained with crimson blood.
Meanwhile, the city regained its silence. All the demonic martial artists who had invaded Baihua County had been slaughtered by Su Heng, not one was left.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Accompanied by the sound of breaking air, figures appeared beside Su Heng.
It was indeed Li Xunhao, Jin Mingxi, Bai Wangchuan, and many other elders, as well as many elders serving Su Heng whom he had seen but could not recall their names.
Each of these elders was injured.
Their gazes towards Su Heng were filled with deep reverence.
To end the battle single-handedly in an almost brutally overwhelming manner, slaughtering the Demon King and the family heads.
Even Li Daoxuan, at his peak, couldn't achieve this feat.
Only the extraordinarily talented previous Tower Master of Baihua County from generations ago could possibly do this. But even that was just a possibility; it had been over a hundred and fifty years, and few who had seen the former Tower Master in action were left.
"Tower Master... how did you turn into this state?" In the crowd, the young lady Bai who had a good relationship with Su Heng spoke up.
She was small-statured and strained to look up.
His chin and neck were almost aligned in a straight line, so that he could see Su Heng's eyes.
In the past, Su Heng was equally exaggerated, but now... the horns on his head, the tail behind him, and the hideous scale armor covering his entire body made him appear even more demon-like than actual demons. Hardly any human essence could be seen in him anymore.
"The Eight Phases Secret Skill of the Tyrant Dragon was created in imitation of the Tyrant Dragon. When cultivated to a high level, step by step, one approaches the form of a dragon, and the body naturally undergoes transformations," Su Heng said in a deep voice, explaining casually.
The Eight Phases Secret Skill was the core inheritance of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Among the elders and disciples present, there were no shortage of cultivators.
Regarding what Su Heng had said, most had heard similar rumors before, but they had taken them only as sensational headlines.
But they had never imagined.
That someone had truly cultivated to this stage.
Thinking back to the formidable combat power Su Heng had displayed earlier, some of the younger disciples suddenly became very excited.
Su Heng, however, was pleased to see this.
If there was an opportunity, he might even complete the upper half of the secret technique.
He had never been one to hoard his martial skills, and he even hoped that these cultivation techniques would be widely disseminated to have more challengers.
He had reached such a realm and believed he should have the confidence matching his own strength.
But just as...
Boom!
Su Heng had not finished speaking when a huge sound erupted from behind him in the Demon Suppression Tower.
The discussion atmosphere, which had been heating up gradually, instantly quieted down, and eyes filled with terror swiftly looked upward.
They saw a fierce and filthy demonic qi erupting like a volcano, shooting straight into the sky in an instant.
It obscured the moonlight, forming rolling dark clouds.
Golden Earth Vein Array Patterns first appeared in empty space, crisscrossing. Then, rippling like water, they vibrated intensely, flashed brightly, and quickly dimmed and vanished. The chains wrapped around the Demon Suppression Tower tightened inch by inch, showing cracks and finally snapped simultaneously with a crack.
Down below the Demon Suppression Tower, Jin Mingxi and a large group of elders and disciples turned deathly pale.
Only Su Heng remained calm as water, his eyes flickering with red light.
"The seal of the Demon Suppression Tower has been broken!"
...
...
...
Demon Suppression Tower, ninth floor.
In a room filled with an antique charm and aromatic incense.
Liu Qingqing was earnestly writing at her desk, seemingly indifferent to the events happening outside.
Even as the Demon Suppression Tower shook violently several times, with Earth Veins surging and seals failing, Liu Qingqing was completely unaware.
Because she knew.
With that person guarding the Demon Suppression Tower.
No matter what happened here, the Demon Suppression Tower could not possibly be breached.
Footsteps slowly came from the dark corridor, Liu Qingqing sighed softly and slightly adjusted her collar.
"Have you come to kill me?" she asked calmly, lifting her head.
In the dim red glow of the lantern.
A familiar yet so unfamiliar figure appeared before her eyes, striking Liu Qingqing like lightning, leaving her stunned.
"Plat!" The brush in her hand fell to the ground.
Gone was her previous calm!
