On the long river, the waves are rolling, and the cold wind blows like a knife.

Xu Qian's hair was messed up.

But his heart was even more confused.

Looking at the river water dyed red with blood, his eyes were full of shock and fear.

He never dreamed that the mysterious master would appear here, ahead of others, and extremely domineering.

This was the first time Xu Qian actually saw a mysterious powerful man take action.

Such a sense of oppression made him feel that all his cultivation in the past ten years had gone into a dog's belly.

"Too...too strong...I will...die..." Xu Qian's heart trembled.

He knew that in front of this mysterious strong man, he was not even as good as an ant.

Countless thoughts sprang up from the bottom of his heart, and Xu Qian still held onto hope due to his survival instinct.

"No... don't kill me, I can tell you..." Xu Qian begged.

Buzz…

The blood energy shot out like a sword, directly piercing Xu Qian's head.

His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that the mysterious strong man killed him without saying anything!?

At that moment, countless lights and shadows flashed in Xu Qian's mind.

He still has more ambitious goals that have not yet been achieved.

Become a strong man, enter Pingjiang City, rise to the upper echelons, take control of power, and take life and death. Even the mayor of Zhensi will fall at his feet, and Gu Xiangling and Wang Qingwan will surrender to flatter him...

Unfortunately, none of this can be achieved!

Gradually, the vitality in those eyes quickly faded.

Xu Qian fell down, like a dead dog, too dead to die.

Zhou Dao didn't even look at him. He didn't even bother to talk nonsense when dealing with such a person, he just killed him.

Hiss, hiss...

Wisps of demonic energy escaped from Xu Qian's scattered blood. Immediately afterwards, the wisps of demonic energy turned into insects, twisted violently on the ship's board, and then withered.

"Kill!?" Chen Qinggang's face trembled slightly.

The mysterious and powerful man in front of him truly had no inhibitions and could kill from his heart with just a single thought.

call……

At this moment, Zhou Dao turned around and swept his indifferent eyes across the river.

Chen Qinggang trembled and subconsciously took a step back.

Human beings are like this. When faced with unknown power, they always instinctively want to distance themselves.

Zhou Dao took one step forward, and the terrifying blood energy suddenly burst out. The river water evaporated and turned into mist, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

On the mighty river, his figure can no longer be found.

Bang……

Wang Qingwan stood up shakily and cut off the sail with the White Tiger Fine Sword.

Huo Changen's body fell down.

Wang Qingwan took him into his arms regardless of the blood stains.

The only remains of the body were unbearable to look at. From the horrific scars, one could see how much abuse and pain Huo Changen suffered before his death.

His body seemed to be used as food by those insects.

Wang Qingwan's whole body's blood surged, and with a sudden burst, insects fell from the blood hole one by one.

Feng Sheng sobbed, and she hugged her former comrade tightly.

What we owe in the past will eventually become regrets!

"well……"

Chen Qinggang walked over, looked at Huo Changen's body, and couldn't help but sigh.

He still vaguely remembered how the young man looked when he first entered the Demon Control Division that winter. The sun was warm and he was gentle to others.

Huo Changen has excellent popularity in the Demon Control Department.

Although he has not been admitted to the famous mountain sect, nor has he entered the Taiji Academy, he does not have a profound background or qualifications.

But he is very hardworking and diligent.

Perhaps, this young man can take over his class and become a guard in the future.

Before that accident, Chen Qinggang had always had high hopes for Huo Changen.

It's a pity that fate has its way with people, and this child will be a miserable person after all.

As a demon-slaying guard who licks blood with his sword, he should have thought that this day might come.

In a world where demons are rampant, there are no immortals!

Rumble...

Thunder boomed, dark clouds gathered, and cold raindrops fell.

In the distance, a group of people came.

Wang Xuanzhi stepped onto the boat, glanced at the mutilated corpse, and then looked at Wang Qingwan's cold face, but there was stubborn sadness in his eyes.

"Take it back and bury it properly," Wang Xuanzhi whispered.

As he spoke, several demon-slaying guards came forward to carry Huo Changen's body away.

"No need!" Wang Qingwan stood up, carried Huo Changen's body on her back, stepped out, and disappeared into the misty rain.

"Alas...he is also a miserable person!" Zhang Beixuan couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Xuanzhi looked at the direction where Wang Qingwan disappeared and slowly withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the mighty river and the sweeping waves, his expression slightly condensed.

"Did he take action again?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and their hearts sank.

Of course they knew who the "him" the Chief Secretary was referring to.

The mysterious and powerful man who hides in Ping'an Town and whose dragon appears but never ends.

"Kill the demon with one move, life or death is inevitable!" Chen Qinggang was still frightened.

That man's strength was beyond his own imagination.

Buzz…

Wang Xuanzhi remained silent, raised his hand, and golden powder was scattered into the river.

In an instant, firelight splashed, swollen in the water, and swirled around.

"This is..." Everyone was surprised.

Wang Xuanzhi's expression became more solemn.

"The body is like an oven, and the blood is like fire. Only by tempering it many times can you get the true meaning...Xiao Xuanzhi, if one day you set foot in this realm, you must remember this truth."

The voice in his memory sounded in Wang Xuanzhi's mind.

There is a method in Taoism that can temper the blood and cultivate the true meaning in the physical body.

Such masters are truly terrifying.

If the blood of the Eighth Transformation of the Ordinary Refining Realm is iron, then that kind of person has already forged it into a weapon.

However, this kind of skill is extremely precious.

Just now Wang Xuanzhi tested it with the secret medicine, and the blood energy of the mysterious strong man remaining in the water actually condensed and never dispersed, and his true fire was high.

This is obviously a manifestation of compressing and tempering the blood energy in the body to a certain state.

"The furnace is used to refine the true fire. The Celestial Master is the best at this art... Could this person be a master of the Celestial Master!?"

Wang Xuanzhi's face was solemn, and he was trapped in a lot of fog.

Tianshi Dao is one of the six great sects in the world!!!

…

"It's a pity that Xu Qian died. So much effort was wasted. He was a very good chess piece." A cold voice sounded in the cave.

On the high platform, a crystal clear container is filled with green liquid, with insect eggs inside, which are fresh and juicy, absorbing nutrients.

"But forget it, my plan is almost completed. After absorbing Akame Doji, I can find my way home... I have been waiting for this day for too long..."

"What? Are you... from Qianyuan Cave!?"
