The mountain road is rugged and becomes increasingly steep and difficult to walk on.

Jiang Yue stepped on it.

The mountain winds upward, pointing straight to the sky.

The surrounding trees became increasingly dense, blocking out the sky and the sun, as if swallowing up all the light.

His figure was still strong and agile, like the most agile monkey in the mountains and forests.

Each step was light and steady, without making any sound.

My breathing became steady and long, as if I had merged into one with the silent forest.

His mind was highly focused, like a taut bowstring.

The demon’s breath, like a ghostly fire jumping in the darkness, appears and disappears in the depths of the forest.

The fishy and chilly smell, like a poisonous snake, penetrated into Jiang Yue’s nostrils.

Guiding him in the direction of progress.

Jiang Yue’s eyes were sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, scanning the dark surroundings.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, and the grass and trees are all enemies.

Be alert to any potential danger and don’t miss any unusual movement.

Confirm that there are no abnormalities around.

Jiang Yue stopped on a relatively open hillside.

He looked around and determined that this place was open and could be used for both attack and defense, making it a good place to stay.

Then, he lowered his eyes and gently stroked the storage ring on the index finger of his left hand with his slender fingers.

The touch of cold metal made him more sober and calm.

As the mind moved, a flash of inspiration came to mind.

The snow-white Xiaotian suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.

The space twisted slightly and Xiaotian landed steadily.

It stretched its sturdy body gracefully and let out a low roar.

The sound was full of explosive power, shaking the mountains and forests.

The brown-black hair, like the finest silk, gleams with a metallic luster in the sunlight that penetrates the treetops.

The strong muscle lines are smooth and explosive, and every inch contains amazing energy.

The once immature greyhound has now grown into a true beast, a terrifying king of beasts.

Jiang Yue looked at Xiaotian with satisfaction, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

This is not only his pet, but also his most loyal partner and most reliable comrade-in-arms.

“Xiao Tian.”

Jiang Yue spoke, his voice steady and clear, carrying an unquestionable command.

“Search for the demon’s scent.”

“Find their nest and leave no one alive.”

When Xiaotian heard Jiang Yue’s order, he immediately responded excitedly with a dog bark.

The voice was deep and powerful, no longer a childish whimper, but like the roar of a wolf king, full of wildness and power.

It couldn’t wait to excitedly turn around a few times on the spot, and its brown-black tail swayed quickly like a windmill.

The nose kept moving, the black tip of the nose was moist and sensitive, and the powerful sense of smell was completely activated in an instant.

He began to sniff the air around him greedily and carefully, as if he wanted to inhale all the scent of the mountains and forests into his lungs.

Xiaotian’s nostrils flared and his powerful breaths came out like a bellows.

The surrounding air seemed to be sucked into its nasal cavity, filtered layer by layer, and carefully analyzed.

It concentrates on distinguishing every subtle smell in the air, not letting go of anything suspicious, just like the best hound, tracking the traces of its prey.

Xiaotian took vigorous and powerful steps, quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, and began to carry out Jiang Yue’s orders.

Its flexible body leaps freely among the dense trees as if it were walking on flat ground. Its brown-black figure is as swift and elusive as a ghost.

Its nose is almost close to the ground, carefully sniffing the soil, grass, rocks, and even every speck of dust floating in the air.

Don’t let go of any remaining scent, even if it’s just a little bit of smell left by the demon inadvertently.

To Xiaotian, who has a sense of smell far beyond that of ordinary people, the smell of the demon is like a lighthouse in the dark night, clear and strong, guiding him in the direction of his progress.

It possesses an innate talent for tracking and can distinguish extremely subtle differences in smells. Even if the demon deliberately hides, it will never escape Xiaotian’s tracking.

Xiaotian walked along the hillside, going deeper and deeper into the dense forest, his speed getting faster and faster. His figure gradually disappeared in the dense bushes, leaving only the rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other, proving that he was still moving forward.

Jiang Yue followed closely behind Xiaotian, neither hurried nor slow, with steady and firm steps.

He had full faith in Xiaotian’s ability. This small dog was born with a strong talent for tracking. Moreover, after being nourished by the spiritual energy of the Immortal God Ruins, his sense of smell had become incredibly sensitive. Tracking monsters was a piece of cake for him.

A man and a dog quickly moved through the silent and dangerous forest.

Xiaotian is in the front, like an arrow shot from a bow, the pioneer, unstoppable.

Jiang Yue was behind, as steady as a rock, controlling the overall situation and waiting for his chance to act.

Time passed silently, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled spots of light that danced on the ground.

Xiaotian’s figure appeared and disappeared among the woods, and the barking of the dogs became clearer and more rapid, even with a hint of excitement.

Jiang Yue knew that Xiaotian had completely locked onto the demon’s breath and was rapidly approaching the target. The demon’s lair was just around the corner.

He quickened his pace, keeping up with Xiaotian’s steps, with his spiritual energy circulating secretly, ready to face the upcoming battle at any time.

After passing through a dense bush, the view suddenly opened up and a hidden and gloomy valley suddenly appeared before our eyes.

The valley is deep and narrow, as if it was split by a huge axe. It is dark and damp, with no sunlight.

The surrounding mountains were rugged and rocky, like ferocious fangs, the trees were sparse and strange, the branches were twisted, and the light was dim, which was completely different from the lush scenery on the hillside, as if they were two completely different worlds. A disgusting stench came to Jiang Yue’s face like a substance, instantly occupying all of his senses, making him feel nauseous and nauseous.

The smell was a mixture of the stench of rotting flesh, the stink of wild beasts, and an indescribable smell of corruption that made people want to vomit.

Jiang Yue frowned, his face darkened, he held his breath, and endured the discomfort in his chest. His spiritual power circulated throughout his body, resisting the disgusting smell.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the valley in front of him, and he immediately found the trace of the demon.

In the open space in the center of the valley, a huge cave is clearly visible. The black cave entrance is like the gaping mouth of a monster, dark and bottomless, as if it can swallow all light.

There were a lot of bone debris scattered around the cave entrance. The white bones were piled up like a mountain, and in the dim light, they emitted a creepy pale color.

There are animal skeletons, human remains, and even some broken pieces of clothing, fluttering weakly in the wind, silently telling of the tragedy that once happened.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, sticky and pungent, like solidified blood, creepy and chilling.

There is no doubt that this is the demon’s lair, the demon’s lair, a horrible place full of death and sin.

Xiaotian excitedly ran to the cave entrance and let out angry roars towards the dark cave.

The barking of dogs echoed in the empty valley, deafening the ears, frightening the demons lurking deep in the caves, announcing the arrival of invaders.

Xiaotian’s eyes were fierce and sharp, like a bloodthirsty beast, full of hostility and murderous intent towards the demon. He had clearly sensed the demon’s presence and was ready to fight, ready to pounce on it at any time and tear it into pieces.

Jiang Yue walked to Xiaotian and stared at the eerie and terrifying cave in front of him with cold eyes. The demon’s lair was finally found.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Today, he would completely eradicate this demon’s lair, eliminate the harm to the people, and restore peace to this forest.

then.

Jiang Yue’s mind moved, and a surge of fighting spirit suddenly rose from the depths of his chest.

He flipped his wrist sharply.

In an instant, a dazzling silver light tore through the darkness and suddenly appeared.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword was already tightly grasped in his hand.

The cold blade, like ice that had been frozen for a thousand years, reflected the faint light outside the cave, emitting a chilling chill that made the surrounding air seem to solidify.

On the blade, those ancient and mysterious patterns seemed to be injected with life and began to flow slowly, like a lurking dragon awakening, roaring silently, emitting a heart-pounding edge. Just by looking at it, one could feel an invisible pressure coming towards him.

Jiang Yue gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with his five fingers, his knuckles turned white due to the force. He clearly felt the heavy power in his hand. This was not only the weight of the weapon, but also the power itself. It was the strength after the cruel tempering in the Ruins of Immortal Gods, and it was also his firm determination to guard Yunzhou and protect the human race.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the murderous intent surging in his chest, but this murderous intent was like a dormant volcano that could erupt at any time. He could only restrain it temporarily and hide it beneath the calm surface.

Jiang Yue’s eyes were as cold as the ice in the Far North, without a trace of emotion, fixed firmly on the dark and bottomless cave entrance in front of him. It seemed like a passage to the netherworld, full of unknown dangers and evils.

Without any hesitation or fear, Jiang Yue suddenly touched the ground with his toes.

“boom!”

There was a dull bang, and the hard ground was cracked into spider-web-like cracks by the force of his step.

“Woo——”

The howling wind sounded like countless evil spirits screaming in his ears, carrying with it a nauseatingly strong stench that rushed towards him like a sticky venom, instantly occupying all of Jiang Yue’s senses.

Inside the cave, the light became even dimmer, and it was almost pitch dark. One was completely plunged into deep darkness, as if all five senses had been taken away, leaving only endless depression and coldness.

The cold and damp air wrapped around the body like an icy poisonous snake, making people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were instantly placed in the belly of some ancient giant beast, suffocating and oppressing, making people feel fear and uneasiness instinctively.

However, this darkness, which seemed like a desperate situation to ordinary people, could not hinder Jiang Yue’s vision at all.

Having experienced the baptism of the spiritual energy of the Immortal God Ruins and swallowed many treasures from heaven and earth, his eyes had already completed the transformation and possessed the ability to see at night as if it were day. Darkness was nothing to him.

Everything in the cave appeared in his eyes with incredible clarity, every detail was visible.

Demons, the number of demons far exceeds expectations!

They were densely packed and surging like a tide, there were dozens of them, with different shapes, some were like hunchbacked beasts, and some were close to human form, but more hideous, with distorted faces, green faces and fangs, like evil spirits crawling out of the depths of hell, emitting a disgusting stench.

At this moment, these demons were gathering deep in the cave, surrounding a pile of unknown flesh and blood remains, devouring them greedily, making creepy chewing sounds, bone-crushing sounds, and indistinct growls, as if the evil spirits from hell were holding a bloody feast.

Sensing the intrusion of outsiders, the sharp demons stopped eating instantly and raised their heads in unison. Their scarlet eyes were as ferocious as bloodthirsty beasts. They instantly locked onto Jiang Yue at the entrance of the cave, filled with brutality and desire for killing.

From the depths of their throats, they let out low and hoarse roars, like the roar of wild beasts or the groan of evil spirits, echoing in the empty caves and shocking everyone.

That is a warning, a warning to any invaders who dare to enter their territory.

It is more of a threat, threatening to tear into pieces anything that dares to offend them!
However, facing the warnings and threats from dozens of ferocious demons, Jiang Yue’s steps did not pause at all, but became more determined.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword tightly grasped in his hand was flashing with an increasingly cold light, like the scythe of the god of death, emitting an icy breath of reaping lives, and the music of death suddenly sounded.

“Zheng——”

The blade flashed like snow, with a cold edge and force like thunder. It was so fast that it was difficult to capture with the naked eye. Only a flash of silver lightning could be seen, which instantly cut through the darkness and tore through the air.

The first demon hadn’t even fully reacted yet. He only saw a flash of silver light before his eyes, and then felt a chill on his neck, and his consciousness instantly fell into endless darkness.

“Pfft!”

The knife light instantly engulfed the demon’s head. A hideous head soared into the sky, with an expression of fear and unwillingness, drew an arc in the air, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled to the side.

The dirty blood in the cavity gushed out instantly like a volcanic eruption, like a scarlet fountain, splashing in all directions, and the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.

The headless corpse, having lost the support of life, fell to the ground with a bang like a puppet with its strings cut. The dull sound of impact echoed in the empty and deep cave, shocking the demons and foreshadowing the beginning of a bloody massacre.

The dull sound of the collision, like the beating of a war drum, shocked the demons, but it also completely ignited the cruelty and brutality in the demons’ bones.

The tragic death of their companions not only failed to scare away these bloodthirsty demons, but instead added fuel to the fire, completely arousing the savagery and cruelty hidden deep in their genes.

“Ow—!”

The roar became crazier and sharper, like the desperate roar of a wounded beast, full of madness and desire for killing.

The demons waved their sharp claws and opened their bloody mouths full of fangs. They rushed towards Jiang Yue like a flood that broke through the dam and a raging tide. They wanted to tear this invader who dared to enter their territory into pieces and devour him. They wanted to defend their territory and dignity with blood and death.

Facing the mad demon, Jiang Yue’s eyes remained as calm as water, without the slightest fluctuation, nor any fear, but only endless coldness and murderousness.

His steps were still steady, as solid as a rock. He swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand like the wind. The sword light flashed and instantly turned into an airtight sword net, guarding the vital parts of his body tightly.

Wherever the blade passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and broken limbs and arms splashed everywhere, like hell on earth. The blood dyed the ground red, and also dyed Jiang Yue’s robe red, but he was completely unaware of it, like a blood-soaked Shura, with murderous intent. (End of this chapter)
