As the Green-Robed Wolf Demon gave the order,

The small demons behind it, ready to pounce, hesitated no longer.

With low whimpers, they charged on all fours towards Jiang Yuechu.

The morning wind was bleak, stirring up dust.

Chen Qingyuan and his companions felt their hearts leap to their throats.

At that moment,

The girl's slender fingers had already gripped the hilt of her blade.

Clang—

The blade was drawn.

She didn't even glance at the approaching wolf demons; her cold eyes remained fixed solely on the Green-Robed Wolf Demon.

The essence of "Fierce Tiger Quick Blade" was fully unleashed at this moment.

From top to bottom, she struck with a single, direct slash.

The blade's edge rose with the morning light and fell into the dust.

With the release of this strike, an overwhelming aura of slaughter spread out, chilling the surrounding air.

Chen Qingyuan and the dozen men from the Soaring Eagle Sect felt their vision blur, and they seemed to hear the faint roar of a tiger amidst the wind and thunder!

The Green-Robed Wolf Demon, who had been somewhat mocking, was now utterly terrified.

Instinct told him,

He couldn't withstand this strike!

In a flash, he couldn't even dodge; he instinctively reached out, grabbed a nearby companion, and hurled it forward.

The small demon was propelled by a tremendous force, meeting the dazzling blade.

The blade flashed and vanished.

The wolf demon used as a shield hadn't even reacted.

From its crown to its crotch,

A line of blood erupted.

In the next moment, its body was neatly split in two.

Scalding demon blood and entrails splattered everywhere.

What a fierce blade.

What a swift blade.

What a Demon-Suppressing Bureau!

Chen Qingyuan and his men stood frozen, momentarily forgetting to assist!

The wolves about to pounce halted abruptly in the dust.

Their claws scraped the ground, kicking up a trail of dust.

Whimpers emerged from their throats, and their furry tails tucked tightly between their legs.

Yet the girl wielding the blade, after her strike, didn't pause for a moment.

With a step forward, she shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.

The blade traced a fierce arc.

A sweeping slash!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three large wolf heads soared into the sky.

Scalding demon blood sprayed several feet high.

From start to finish, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

The Green-Robed Wolf Demon watched helplessly as, in an instant, most of his offspring were dead.

The remaining wolf demons, terrified by the blade, cowered and dared not advance.

He stood there, stunned.

When he finally reacted, he was filled with both shock and fury.

Demon cultivation was inherently difficult.

Except for those who gained enlightenment and evolved from mountain and forest spirits,

For demon clans like his with bloodline inheritance, reproduction was especially challenging.

After years of struggle, including himself, there were only a few of them.

And today, they were lost here!

"Stop it!!!"

But the girl with the blade seemed not to hear.

The blade tip hung diagonally, a drop of demon blood slid from the edge, seeping into the dust below.

She exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The morning mist dispersed from her lips.

"The law of the jungle, isn't it the natural order?"

Jiang Yuechu raised her eyes, looking at him calmly.

"I thought you just spoke so eloquently, clearly agreeing with this principle."

"So why are you so angry now?"

Upon hearing this, the Green-Robed Wolf Demon's long robe was torn by the sudden bulging muscles.

"You—seek—death!!!!"

In the next instant, the wolf demon crouched, landing on all fours, and its hind legs suddenly exerted force.

Bang!

The ground cracked.

A green shadow, carrying a foul wind, charged straight at Jiang Yuechu's face.

As the green shadow approached, a rolling black aura emanated from it.

Clearly, this strike was not a common demon's technique.

Yet the girl, facing such an attack, neither dodged nor evaded.

With a shout, she leapt high.

In mid-air, her energy and blood surged as if by instinct.

Behind her, a phantom of a magnificent blood tiger formed!

Roar—

A tiger's roar shook the wilderness!

One high, one low.

One above, one below.

The two figures collided fiercely in the center of the village path!

Thud.

The blade sank into the shoulder and neck.

Bang.

Wolf claws tore through flesh.

The intense black aura and the blood-colored phantom clashed, then merged, finally dissipating together.

The two figures flew backward, landing heavily.

Jiang Yuechu let out a muffled groan, a metallic taste rising in her throat, which she swallowed back down.

Her black garment at the abdomen was torn by three claw marks, blood seeping continuously.

She hadn't learned any sophisticated martial arts; this blade technique she acquired from the tiger demon was straightforward and relentless, but limited to that.

The Green-Robed Wolf Demon staggered to its feet, its left shoulder blade nearly severed by the strike.

Yet the savagery in its eyes made it forget such injuries.

Only now did the dozen men from the Soaring Eagle Sect awaken as if from a dream.

Chen Qingyuan was the first to react, shouting with a pale face, "Protect the lady!"

With a clatter,

A dozen men drew their weapons, scrambling to surround the staggering figure.

Blades and swords drawn, they faced the Green-Robed Wolf Demon as if confronting a formidable enemy.

And in the distance on the village path, the few remaining small demons, seeing such a tragic scene, were already scared out of their wits.

With a wail, they tucked their tails and hid further away, not daring to advance an inch.

After all, the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm is inherent in all creatures.

Birds and beasts are like this, and so are demons.

But humans, for certain things, can restrain that instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

This is the difference between humans and beasts.

With the cover of the others, Jiang Yuechu finally had time to calculate in her mind.

The Green-Robed Wolf Demon before her, though having reached the String-Attuned Stage, lacked the mysterious powers of the tiger demon.

Its strength... was certainly below that of the tiger demon.

Back then, being able to slay the tiger demon with one strike was likely due to a large portion of luck, thanks to its already severe injuries.

But even so,

Now in battle, she realized that these String-Attuned Stage demons were truly not to be underestimated.

With her current strength alone, even if she could kill the opponent, she would undoubtedly suffer significant injuries.

If it were ordinary times, it might not matter.

But her current status was sensitive, and she absolutely couldn't afford to be seriously injured.

A thought crossed her mind, and an ancient scroll flashed in her mind.

[Dao Attainment: 152 years.]

Originally, there were 25 years left, plus the small demons she had slain.

Now her Dao attainment had reached a considerable number.

She exhaled a blood-tinged breath.

Tsk...

She had to cheat.

Jiang Yuechu hesitated no longer, focusing her mind.

The 152 years of Dao attainment surged into the tiger demon scroll like a flood.

Boom—

Everything around her, whether it was Chen Qingyuan's shouts or the wolf demon's roars, faded away at that moment.

Heaven and earth seemed to be reduced to black and white.
