Chen An released a golden light and killed the water demon in one strike.
Then, he circulated his spiritual qi and sucked the corpse of the water demon from the river into his hand.
The water demon was very small. It was basically skin and bones without any meat.
Even if there was meat, it was poisonous and not suitable for consumption.
However, Chen An did not care.
If he wanted to eat demonic beast meat, he could just hunt other demonic beasts.
What he was interested in now was the demon core.
Soon, he took out a light blue round core near the water demon’s heart.
It was the size of a walnut.
It was very round.
When he held it in his hand, he felt a slight chill.
It could be used in the air conditioning in the summer.
After sizing up the demon core in his hand, Chen An put it into his storage bag.
Then, he did not stay any longer. He took out the Flying Ship Sword and was about to go home.
At this moment!
A large group of bird demons suddenly appeared in the sky.
It circled in the sky.
Their cultivation was not inferior to the Foundation Establishment realm.
Some had even reached the Golden Core realm.
These bird demons circled for a while before quickly swooping down to the ground.
A moment later, they flapped their wings and soared into the sky again.
Unlike when they had just dived down, most of these bird demons had human Cultivators under their claws.
He focused his gaze.
Eight out of ten of these human Cultivators had their stomachs cut open and were deader than dead.
Some who were still alive were shouting in fear.
However, it did not live for long before it was quickly clawed to death by the bird demon.
“In this situation, 1 definitely can’t fly on my sword.”
“I’ll have to walk home.”
“It’s just that it might take a little more time. 1 have to tell my wives at home.”
Chen An thought about taking out the voice transmission talisman and transmitting his voice to Shen Qingyi at home, saying that he might be home late.
Shen Qjngyi asked him what was wrong, but he didn’t hide anything and explained the situation.
He said that there were bird demons everywhere in the sky now, could not fly on his sword and could only walk home.
After Shen Qingyi finished understanding, she told him to put safety first and not take the risk of rushing home.
After a simple exchange,
Chen An put away the voice transmission talisman and chose to go home through a dense forest in front of him.
The vegetation in the forest was dense. Walking inside could effectively resist the bird demons’ hunting.
However, when he entered the forest and saw the group of tree demons inside, he was stunned.
Where did these tree demons come from in Hundred Herbs Alley?
Weren’t all the demons that descended from the sky yesterday demonic beasts?
Swoosh!
Swoosh… Swoosh… Swoosh!
Swoosh!
When the tree demons saw Chen An, they rose from the ground one after another and waved their vines at Chen An like moths to a flame.
Chen An sensed the cultivation of the tree demons.
The lowest was at the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, the highest level was also at the Foundation Establishment realm.
So they were a bunch of weaklings.
Then why is he running?
He could just kill them!
Chen An couldn’t care less at this time. In the next moment, wisps of alchemy fire emerged from the tips of his ten fingers and set the mountain on fire.
In just a moment, the group of tree demons that had originally swarmed over looked very ferocious, they were instantly burned to charcoal by the pill fire, losing all their lives.
Chen An did not waste any time. He immediately went up and took out the demon core from their remains.
The tree demon demon core contained a large amount of wood essence.
Coincidentally, his wife had the bloodline of the Flower Goddess and had a Wood-type demon core in her body. It was equivalent to a human’s Wood-type spiritual root. She could absorb the demon cores of these tree demons to nurture her demon core.
Only taking a short while, Chen An extracted all the demon cores of the tree demons and stored them in his storage bag.
“This demonic beast disaster is a disaster for the rogue Cultivators of Hundred Herbs Alley.”
“However, for Cultivators like me who are at the Foundation Establishment realm and above, it’s both a risk and an opportunity.”
“Because the more demonic beasts there are, the more resources there are.”
Chen An thought to himself and quickly left.
This place had just been wreaked havoc by pill fire, and there was a sky full of charred smoke curling up. It was easy to attract the attention of others or demonic beasts, so it was better to leave quickly.
However!
Chen An had only walked a few meters when a large group of Cultivators suddenly rushed out of the forest beside him.
There were men and women.
Everyone’s cultivation was above the Foundation Establishment realm.
The old man in the lead had a cultivation as high as the Golden Core realm.
Chen An quickly sized up the group of Cultivators.
The words “Black Wind” were embroidered on his clothes.
This was not a member of the Crimson Fire Gang.
Suspected to be from the Black Wind Gang.
Chen An was puzzled.
Wasn’t Hundred Herbs Alley the territory of the Crimson Fire Gang?
Why were there so many people from the Black Wind Gang?
On the other side, the Golden Core old man glanced at the remains of the tree demon in front of him and then looked at Chen An.
Seeing that Chen An was alone, the old Golden Core Cultivator smiled and said, “Fellow Cultivator, hand over the demon core you just collected and I’ll spare you…”
However, before he could finish speaking, Chen An, who was in front, turned around and ran without saying a word.
He ran so fast that he didn’t even look back.
Hand over the demon core and he’ll spare my life?
Whoever believed him would be an idiot!
In this situation, any thieving Cultivator would silence him. How could he leave a loose end that can be dangerous for himself?
Behind him, the people from the Black Wind Gang were dumbfounded.
F*ck, he ran away?
After a moment of reaction, the Golden Core elder in the lead said with a gloomy expression,
“Chase after him!”
In the next second, the members of the Black Wind Gang immediately chased after Chen An.
The leader of the Black Wind Gang cultivated the Wind Movement Technique. Everyone’s footwork inside was very impressive.
In just a moment, they caught up to Chen An, who was running wildly in front of them, and surrounded him.
“I was also attracted by the thick smoke. I didn’t kill those tree demons.”
Chen An knew that he could not escape. He restrained all the aura on his body and said calmly.
The Golden Core elder didn’t believe him. He looked at a female Cultivator beside him and said,
“Jian Jia, I’ve sensed this person’s cultivation level previously. He’s only at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment realm. You’re at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment realm, but your talent is outstanding. Kill him.”
“Yes, Master!”
The beautiful female Cultivator named Jian Jia immediately drew her sword and rushed towards Chen An after responding crisply.
She was the heir to the Black Wind Gang’s Great Elder.
However, many people in the gang were not convinced by her.
Now, she wanted to put on a good show of killing someone above her level to display her talent and convince the fellow disciples beside her.
Buzz!
A sonic boom sounded.
The female Cultivator’s figure instantly turned into an afterimage. She charged at Chen An at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, aiming for his head.
She wanted to kill Chen An in one strike!
Swoosh!
In the next moment, there was a smooth sound of cutting meat.
A head rolled down.
It landed heavily on the ground.
There was a dull thud.
The female Cultivator was dead.
The moment she rushed in front of Chen An, she was beheaded by Chen An’s light sword.
Her head was separated on the spot and she lost her life.
At this moment, the entire forest fell into a dead silence.
Everyone from the Black Wind Gang present was stunned when they saw this scene. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
