Inside Tianyin Workshop, blade light flickered, and demonic Qi surged. Lin Baichuan and Yang Zhan, along with others, joined forces to form a battle formation, forcefully suppressing the demon that had taken Possession of Miaoyin.
At this moment, the entire Tianyin Workshop was already in chaos. Everyone, upon seeing Miaoyin transform into a demon, shrieked in terror and frantically fled towards the outside of Tianyin Workshop.
Some of the more timid ones were so scared that their bodies went limp, wanting to escape, but their legs wouldn't obey, and they simply collapsed to the ground.
Many people were even so frightened they wet themselves, and the stench of urine, mixed with piercing screams and cries for help, was incessant.
"Damn the Demon Suppression Division, damn you little bastard, you ruined my plans, you must die…"
In the already dilapidated hall, the demon was firmly suppressed by Lin Baichuan and the others, becoming even more hideous. Demonic Qi surged from its body, and sinister, eerie black mist permeated its surroundings.
Its bloodthirsty eyes stared fixedly at Lin Baichuan. As it raised its hand, the scaly claws emitted a strange dark light.
With a sweep of its claw, a powerful surge of Qi rolled forth, actually forcing Yang Zhan and the others back several steps. And at this moment, its massive body swayed, carrying resentful killing intent, and charged straight at Lin Baichuan.
It had originally taken Possession of Miaoyin and hidden in Tianyin Workshop for a major event.
Who would have thought that Lin Baichuan would expose its identity.
Now, not only was it exposed, but its plan was also ruined. How could it not be enraged? It wished it could drink Lin Baichuan's blood and eat Lin Baichuan's flesh.
Puchi…
The eerie claw, carrying a chilling, sinister aura, instantly arrived before Lin Baichuan, aiming directly for his throat, accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds.
If this claw landed, even metal would likely be shattered.
Lin Baichuan's pupils, however, constricted. The claw instantly magnified in his eyes, but he remained calm in the face of danger, his heart as still as water.
Clang!
The next moment, blade light flashed. Lin Baichuan's battle blade, remarkably, struck first, carrying a strange fluctuation, and landed three inches from the demon's claw.
Clang… Sssst…
Immediately, the battle blade first solidified, then seemed to vibrate wildly at a terrifying frequency, forcefully tearing through the demon's metal-like scale defense. With a muffled sound, it forcefully severed the demon's claw.
"Ah…"
A scream echoed throughout the entire Tianyin Workshop.
With one claw severed, the demon's strength was greatly diminished. A hint of fear appeared on its originally violent and bloodthirsty face, and it immediately turned to flee.
Lin Baichuan's ferocity exceeded its expectations. If it continued to entangle with him, not only would it fail to kill Lin Baichuan, but it would also lose its own life here. It had to leave. As long as it left here, someone would meet it, and its life would be preserved.
However, it wanted to escape, but how could Lin Baichuan let it have its way?
It was not easy to encounter a demon. In his eyes, this was a mobile source of Karma, and he had to get his hands on it.
"Prodigy, prepare to die!"
Lin Baichuan roared, his voice like the roar of a tiger and the howl of a wolf. He leaped up, instantly catching up to the demon, his battle blade slashing out like a stream of light.
Seven Kill Blade Technique: Po Jun's Fury.
This was a decisive killing technique within the Seven Kill Blade Technique, which could only be unleashed after cultivating the Seven Kill Blade Technique to the Perfection Realm. With one strike, it mobilized the Qi and blood throughout the body, unleashing three hundred percent of one's power.
Lin Baichuan's Physical Body strength now reached over three thousand catties. With a threefold increase, it was nearly ten thousand catties of Physical Body strength.
This strike was simply incredibly powerful, like splitting mountains and breaking Peaks.
The demon had already lost a claw, and its morale was gone. It was single-mindedly focused on escaping. Now, Lin Baichuan caught up and delivered a single strike. In its hasty response, it could not even exert thirty percent of its strength. How could it withstand the power of this strike?
Boom… Puchi…
A cold light flashed. The battle blade, with its sharp edge, forcefully pierced through its full body of scales, splitting its body in two.
Immediately, blood splattered.
The blood, imbued with demonic power, was dark green like black ink and emitted a foul odor. As soon as it hit the ground, it instantly corroded fist-sized pits into the stone-paved floor, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
Lin Baichuan retracted his blade, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.
At this moment, a mechanical System prompt sounded in his mind.
【Congratulations, Host, you have gained 30 points of Karma.】
"It's actually 30 points of Karma. This demon is also only a Soldier-rank First Stage, but it's clearly much stronger than the wolf demon I killed in the Zhenyao Department Prison. It should have reached the Late Stage of Soldier-rank First Stage."
Lin Baichuan's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "The strength of demons is generally stronger than Martial Artists of the same Realm. This Soldier-rank First Stage Late Stage demon's combat power is probably comparable to a Ninth-grade Peak Martial Artist, or even some weaker Eighth-grade ones.
If I hadn't cultivated the Seven Kill Blade Technique to Perfection, and if Yang Zhan and the others hadn't assisted, I really wouldn't have been able to kill this beast."
Lin Baichuan was well aware that with his own strength, it would still be a bit difficult to kill this demon alone. The others contributed a lot. Especially Yang Zhan, that guy was an Eighth-grade Bone Forging Realm, and his cultivation was considered the strongest among their group.
However, that guy's Martial Skill was not very good. If it came to a life-or-death struggle, Lin Baichuan was confident that he would be the one to win in the end.
Because Yang Zhan came from a wealthy background, his Martial Dao path was too smooth, and he lacked that ruthless drive.
Coupled with Lin Baichuan's Perfection-level Seven Kill Blade Technique, it was enough to allow him to fight above his Realm.
"30 points of Karma are enough for me to advance Golden Bell Shield to the third layer. As for the Seven Kill Blade Technique, I've already reached the Perfection Realm, but the panel clearly shows it can still be improved. I wonder what Realm a Martial Skill is in beyond Perfection?"
Lin Baichuan muttered to himself, his eyes, however, falling on the demon's corpse on the ground.
Killing a demon, and in a place like Tianyin Workshop, without any casualties, was definitely a great merit. He just didn't know how many contribution points he would get.
"Holy cow, Lin Baichuan… You're too fierce! That last strike, your… your Seven Kill Blade Technique has reached what Realm?"
Just as numerous thoughts flashed through Lin Baichuan's mind, Yang Zhan's voice suddenly came from beside him. The guy rushed over, first sizing Lin Baichuan up and down, then patted his shoulder and said, "You, kid, are truly astonishing!
This time, we've made a great contribution. I really didn't expect that just coming for some drinks, we'd actually run into a demon…"
"This isn't just one demon; there's also someone colluding with a demon," Lin Baichuan sneered, his gaze, however, turning towards Lu Changkong, who was still sitting on the ground.
This fool, it seemed he was truly scared, still hadn't recovered even now.
Colluding with a demon and obstructing the Demon Suppression Division from carrying out its duties.
Either of these two matters alone would be enough to send him to the Zhenyao Department Prison. With both combined, not only would he be finished, but the Lu family behind him would also suffer misfortune.
