Chapter 151 A Trivial Matter

Boom—

Xiao Qingzhu's body flew backward, and the wall took a powerful impact, instantly denting in a large area.

The young girl stabbed her sword into the ground in front of her to steady herself, unable to stop herself from spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

[As expected... is it still too much of a stretch?]

Previously, she had dealt with the opponent for a long time, attacking rarely and dodging mostly, and was barely able to hold on.

Now, with her Spiritual Qi heavily depleted, she had been carelessly struck, instantly inflicting extremely severe injuries upon her.

It truly proved the saying: the opponent could make countless mistakes, but if she made even one, it would be fatal!

"Number Nine, stop playing around and finish her off quickly!"

The Bald Monk showed a hint of impatience.

In his eyes, Xiao Qingzhu was merely at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. While she was enough to look down on her peers among the younger generation...

...before old fogies like them, she was like a toddler just learning to walk, easily suppressed with the wave of a hand.

This was not only the accumulation of years but also an absolute crushing of strength!

The great demon named Number Nine beat its chest, letting out ear-piercing explosions.

The bandages covering its body were like venomous snakes swimming through the air, striking at Xiao Qingzhu's vital points from extremely tricky angles.

Xiao Qingzhu's eyes narrowed, filled with a touch of determination.

[It seems I have no choice but to use that move!]

The Qingyun Sect recorded many forbidden techniques that traded one's lifespan for a temporary surge in strength. It just so happened that she had specially learned one earlier to increase her trump cards, planning to use it just in case. She hadn't expected to actually use it today.

However...

Just as the girl was about to unleash her power, a familiar voice arrived late.

"Get lost!"

As soon as the words fell, the razor-sharp bandages instantly shattered, turning into a sky full of fragments.

The bandage demon let out a series of shrill screams because, at this moment, its head was being forcefully stepped on by a man, its face being ground ruthlessly against the ground.

"Did I allow you to scream?"

Mu An frowned slightly and suddenly exerted force with his foot.

Terrifying spiritual energy transformed into supreme force. The ground collapsed beneath it, instantly crushing the opponent's head and leaving behind only a headless corpse.

All of this happened too suddenly.

It was so fast that even a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator like the Bald Monk couldn't fully react before the great demon Number Nine he spoke of was completely killed on the spot.

"Fellow Daoist, who might you be? There's no need to make an enemy of our Demon Suppression Bureau for the sake of a secular imperial princess, is there?"

The Bald Monk's vigilance reached its peak.

He had absolutely no idea how this young man before him had broken through the illusion to get here.

At the same time, he was extremely wary of the opponent's strength.

Although Number Nine was a product of forcibly raising cultivation with medicine, it was still a genuine Foundation Establishment Stage great demon, and its physical strength far exceeded that of Cultivators of the same Realm.

Yet Mu An had crushed its head with a single stomp. It was so violent that he couldn't help but wonder if the person before him was a Cultivator who specialized in the Physique.

"What is the Demon Suppression Bureau even worth? And you... what are you?"

Mu An's eyes were contemptuous.

He looked back at Xiao Qingzhu, and seeing the blood still lingering on the corner of her mouth, the killing intent in his heart boiled even more.

If he hadn't arrived in time today, his nominal wife would probably have died without even a whole corpse left.

Faced with these words, the Bald Monk's face turned extremely ugly.

As a high-ranking member of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he was used to being high and mighty. Now, being so belittled, anger naturally welled up inside him.

"There are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. Though Your Excellency is strong, you are not invincible under heaven."

"There are at least a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators like this old monk in the Demon Suppression Bureau. Do you truly have the confidence to face everyone alone?"

Hearing this, Mu An couldn't help but grin.

"No matter how many rotten fish and smelly shrimp there are, they are still just rotten fish and smelly shrimp. Killing you, or killing all of you, is just a simple matter."

...
