The Rat Demon was truly shocked now!
It had thought that for this kid to reach the Late Stage of the Strength Realm at such a young age was already gifted.
Unexpectedly, he was far more exaggerated than it had imagined.
Extreme Realm!
It had spent sixty years to reach this step; how old was this human?
Just turned eighteen?
What kind of terrifying martial talent was this?
The Rat Demon's eyes narrowed, its killing intent thicker than ever before.
This boy cannot be allowed to live!
In time, once he grows up, he will surely become a major threat to the demon camp!
He must be nipped in the bud right now!
With this thought, it no longer held anything back.
Every move was at full power!
A green light flared intensely from the Rat Demon's body, and a terrifying Aura swept out.
Its mouth, filled with sharp fangs, opened wide as it lunged forward!
Li Xuanxiao immediately performed the Nine Steps of the Soaring Eagle, his movements as swift as the wind.
The Rat Demon missed its mark, spinning around to whip its tail, causing the air to shriek with a sharp hum!
The courtyard wall collapsed in large sections just from being grazed by the wind pressure, and several constables dodged in panic.
This time, Li Xuanxiao did not dodge; he swung his blade down in a backhand strike!
Densely packed phantoms of blades instantly swept out!
[Ten Thousand Blades Annihilation Saber]!
The blade phantoms collided with the whip-like rat tail, and terrifying air pressure exploded outward.
The nearby courtyards could not withstand such terrifying tremors and soon collapsed in heaps.
The battle was exceptionally dangerous and intense from the very start!
In just a few moments, Li Xuanxiao and the Rat Demon had exchanged dozens of blows back and forth.
The shock in the eyes of the nearby constables deepened further.
Is this a battle between those in the Extreme Realm?
So strong!
It was completely beyond their level to intervene now.
The Rat Demon wasn't boasting before; with this level of strength, it truly could do as it pleased in front of all of them.
And afterward, it really could make all the citizens of Ning'an City be buried with it!
Unfortunately, it met Li Xuanxiao. (T/N: Because it is facing MC who is stronger)
Fortunately, it met Li Xuanxiao! (T/N: Because other than MC, rest all are weak)
Otherwise, today would have been unthinkable!
Wang Debiao was nearly catatonic.
In these dozens of rounds, he had already seen several familiar Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts on Li Xuanxiao.
[Nine Steps of the Soaring Eagle]...
[Ten Thousand Blades Annihilation Saber]...
Even...
He glanced over; Li Xuanxiao's eyes were shrouded in purple qi.
That was the hallmark of the Myriad Manifestations Purple Extreme Art!
But... how long has it fucking been? Ah!
How can a person be such a freak?
Is there any justice left? Is there any law?
This talent is probably beyond even those geniuses in the Demon Slaying Division, right?
He's simply a Prodigy!
Back in the arena, Li Xuanxiao and the Rat Demon were still locked in a stalemate.
The Rat Demon was going all out, while Li Xuanxiao seemed to be handling it with ease.
This wasn't hard to notice; even the watching constables could see some clues.
The Rat Demon's breathing was ragged; it was the first demon to realize the opponent's true strength.
As the battle progressed, it became more and more alarmed!
Freak, freak, freak!
It was practically roaring inside; if it had known such a Prodigy existed, it never would have come to wade into these muddy waters!
If its descendants died, so be it; it was still vigorous and could sire more.
Now, it was about to lose its own life!
Li Xuanxiao stopped wasting time and pushed the Myriad Manifestations Purple Extreme Art to its limits.
Amidst the swirling purple qi, his eyes seemed to turn purple.
True Qi circulated at high speed through his meridians, flowing to wherever Li Xuanxiao needed it.
The Rat Demon reverted to its original form and bolted.
It only wished its parents had given it two more legs.
Li Xuanxiao gave a light chuckle.
He swung his blade.
And slashed down!
The Ten Thousand Blades Annihilation Saber at full power!
Hundreds of blade phantoms appeared, all slashing toward the fleeing Rat Demon.
Despite the Rat Demon's agility and speed, it could not escape the blockade of hundreds of blade lights.
It was immediately pinned to the ground by the dense blade lights, turning into a bloody mess in an instant, its life extinguished.
[You have slain a Level 1 Extreme Realm Rat Demon, gaining 20 Demon value Points points!]
Li Xuanxiao raised an eyebrow. 20 points? So many?
Previously, the highest he got from killing a demon was only 3 points!
It seems that slaying demons of a higher Realm will also yield greater rewards.
He had originally planned to make up for quality with quantity.
Now it seems that pursuing quality is also perfectly viable!
Killing one in the Extreme Realm is worth five or six demons at the Late Stage of the Strength Realm.
Li Xuanxiao smiled with satisfaction, preparing to upgrade his Cultivation Technique and Martial Arts Realms once more.
[First time slaying an Extreme Realm demon, additional reward of 30 Demon value Points points!]
Hmm?
An unexpected surprise!
Seeing another 30 Demon value Points points credited, Li Xuanxiao beamed with joy.
A huge windfall, a huge windfall!
Now, his strength will reach another level.
System, add points for me!
[Consumed 20 Demon value Points points, Myriad Manifestations Purple Extreme Art has reached the Minor Achievement stage!]
[Consumed 10 Demon value Points points, Nine Steps of the Soaring Eagle has reached the Major Achievement stage!]
[Consumed 10 Demon value Points points, Ten Thousand Blades Annihilation Saber has reached the Major Achievement stage!]
The Realms of his Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts rose instantly, while his Demon value Points points plummeted.
Only 10 points left.
Li Xuanxiao looked surprised; he had thought 50 Demon value Points points were quite a lot earlier.
Now it seems they're completely insufficient.
As the quality of his Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts improves, the demand for Demon value Points points also increases.
50 points were indeed ample for Strength Realm techniques.
But for the Extreme Realm, it's not nearly enough.
His understanding needed an update.
"Sigh, I still need to kill more demons!"
Li Xuanxiao lamented.
With only 10 points left, keeping them was useless, so he might as well learn the basics of that Extreme Realm Heart Method of Undying Silence.
[Consumed 10 Demon value Points points, Heart Method of Undying Silence has reached the Initial Mastery stage!]
Numerous memory fragments flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Li Xuanxiao felt as if he had personally experienced years of sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing in quiet meditation.
In an instant, his mind gained a sense of clarity.
His understanding of Aura and True Qi deepened, and his control over them became much stronger.
Although it was a supportive martial art, it was still at the Extreme Realm level, and its effects were equally impressive.
Li Xuanxiao nodded with satisfaction and opened his personal panel.
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Level 3 Extreme Realm]
[Cultivation Technique: Evergreen Art (Transcendent), Extreme - Myriad Manifestations Purple Extreme Art (Minor Achievement)]
[Martial Arts: Spirit Condensing Slash (Transcendent), Nine Steps of the Soaring Eagle (Major Achievement), Ten Thousand Blades Annihilation Saber (Major Achievement), Extreme - Heart Method of Undying Silence (Entry Level)]
[Demon value Points: 0]
The Demon value Points points returned to zero once again.
And with the improvement of his techniques, his Realm had reached Level 3 of the Extreme Realm.
His True Qi was even more robust; clearly, he had improved quite a bit!
Li Xuanxiao closed the System interface.
He found several constables looking at him as if he were a monster.
Wang Debiao was sizing him up even more intensely.
For a moment just now, he actually felt that Li Xuanxiao's Aura had strengthened again?
But when he felt carefully again, that Aura had returned to a normal level.
Was it an illusion?
"Constables, I'll have to trouble you to clean up the scene."
Li Xuanxiao cupped his fists in salute to the constables.
The constables were still somewhat dazed; once they snapped out of it, they all returned the salute.
"Of course, of course."
Having just witnessed Li Xuanxiao's ferocity, how could they dare to put on airs?
"There are still many demons lurking and causing trouble in Ning'an City, so I'll take my leave now!"
After speaking, Li Xuanxiao immediately performed the Nine Steps of the Soaring Eagle and began searching for demon traces within Ning'an City.
