slashed through the void.Boom--Two forces intertwined, golden divine thunder and purple divine thunder battled each other.But in the blink of an eye, the golden thunder dissipated, and the purple thun...Inside the pavilion.

Jiang Zuo looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Why are you here today Is there something you need"

As for Shen Changqing, he didn't put on airs and act superior.

What kind of people, what kind of things.

Although the other party claimed to be only a Yellow Rank demon slayer, their strength was not inferior to that of a Xuan Rank demon slayer, and their talent was astonishing.

Therefore, Jiang Zuo has already placed the other party on an equal footing.

“I do have some things I’d like to ask.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Go ahead."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

The man on the left bank smiled faintly.

“On my way back from Lin'an City, I encountered something quite strange along the way—”

Shen Changqing's face was solemn as he began to speak about what had happened to him.

Gradually.

The smile on Jiang Zuo's face had also diminished considerably.

When Shen Changqing finished speaking, he finally spoke in a deep voice.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I've never heard of such a thing. If it were demons, there would certainly be an aura of evil present. Are you sure you didn't feel any trace of it at all from beginning to end"

"No." Shen Changqing shook his head very simply.

He could be sure.

I couldn't detect any trace of evil aura on Mozhijin.

Jiang Zuo's expression was solemn: "If even you can't sense the sinister aura, then that thing is not simple."

Shen Changqing's strength has already reached the innate realm.

Even the most powerful vengeful spirits, when facing him, would be unable to conceal even the slightest trace of their presence.

Unless —

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That was a demon more powerful than even the vengeful ghosts.

As soon as this thought arose, Jiang Zuo shook his head secretly and banished the guess from his mind.

>> Guangyuanfu is not somewhere else.

Since over two hundred years ago, when Guangyuan Prefecture was attacked by demons and resulted in heavy casualties among the people, the Demon Suppression Division has greatly increased its control over Guangyuan Prefecture.

It's not a big deal that low-ranking demons have infiltrated Guangyuan Mansion.

After all, the demonic and evil auras of low-ranking demons are not strong. The guardian deities stationed at Guangyuan Mansion easily overlook them.

But once it reaches the Sha-level or higher, that kind of powerful Yin energy, those guardians simply couldn't ignore.

“This matter is rather unusual. I need to report it to my superiors.”

Jiang Zuo stood up.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When facing any strange situations within the borders of the Great Qin, one must never be careless.

"Go back for now!"

"Then I'll take my leave." Shen Changqing also stood up.

Immediately.

He then saw Jiang Zuo leave hurriedly.

Looking at the back of the person as they left.

Shen Changqing paused for a few breaths, then returned to his own courtyard.

He has already reported the anomalies he discovered truthfully. As for the rest, it is estimated that there is no personal involvement.

Back to the yard.

Shen Changqing drew his Cold Moon Saber from his waist. The blade, like white frost, emitted a chill even under the blazing sun.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

With eyes closed and body still, he looked back in his mind at the memories of the hundred battles sword technique.

The next moment.

Eyes tightly shut opened, as if blood was being shot out.

As his hand holding the long sword moved, a powerful aura rose from him.

"Slash!"

Shen Changqing took a step forward, and the Leng Yue Dao suddenly slashed forward. There was an air of cutting through thousands of troops, as if thousands of horses were thundering.

At that moment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The imposing aura is overwhelming.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Fusing the Seven Kills Sword Technique and the Breaking Tribulation Sword Technique, the Hundred Battles Sword Technique is a true battlefield martial art that aims to end battles through combat.

Within the Five Styles Hundred Battles Sword Technique.

Among them, the first form, Horizontal Knife Standing Horse, and the second form, Solitary Defense of Thousands, are both defensive techniques.

The third way is to be alone in the midst of battle, that is the true way to kill the enemy.

As for the fourth style, "Easeful Mastery," it combines offense, defense, and agility into one.

>

Fifth Style——

Shen Changqing had no clue whatsoever.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even if he obtained the complete memory of the Hundred Battles Sword Technique, there was no way he could understand what the fifth form was like.

According to memory.

Only after mastering the first four forms will the fifth form naturally emerge.

Strictly speaking.

The fifth form is not a true technique or set pattern, but rather a realm of meaning.

In the small courtyard.

Shen Changqing seemed to have practiced for decades, and with astonishing skill, he performed the first part of the Hundred Battles Sword Technique.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The preceding two sword techniques contain many subtle variations.

But when it came to the third style, he was a bit stuck.

Although Shen Changqing wielded the Cold Moon Sword according to the recorded method in his memory, he always felt something was off.

"The Hundred Battles Sword Technique can be considered an art of war, a true killing move. To fully master it, relying solely on rigid techniques is unlikely to be enough."

He suddenly sheathed his sword, looking back on every detail of the Hundred Battles Sword Technique.

>

"The sword technique of a hundred battles can pierce through the true meaning of martial arts!"

That is to say, this martial art, besides emphasizing techniques, places even greater emphasis on the realm of "intent" or "spirit".

“If one doesn't lead by example, charging into battle alone with bravery and killing intent, how can one truly master the art of warfare”

Shen Changqing had a moment of clarity in his heart.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

If it were him before, even if he understood, it would be difficult to simulate that feeling.

But now it's different.

Although Shen Changqing had never been to a battlefield, he had killed people and naturally understood the killing intent within it.

stood there for a long time.

He was lost in a review of his memories, brewing a ruthless plan in his mind.

Time flies.

Suddenly.

Shen Changqing roared angrily, taking a step forward. A terrifying aura of slaughter surged from him as his long blade slashed forward with ruthless force, as if capable of cleaving everything before him to pieces.

Whoosh—

No true qi was used.

Even with just his own strength, the wind of the blade he slashed created shallow marks on the ground.

Sheathed the sword and returned to her post.

Shen Changqing let out a long sigh.

He was savoring the sword stroke he had just delivered.

Please note that the original content within the tags was empty.

After a long time.

Shen Changqing stood, his body moving again, beginning the next round of cultivation.

On the other side, Jiang Zu received the news and immediately went to report it.

The Grand Council Hall.

After getting permission, Jiangzuo strode inside.

At this time, there was only one person sitting in the hall.

"Jiang Zuo, what brings you here this time"

Zhou Yuan's eyes were fixed on the other person, as if a powerful aura was emanating from him, making the atmosphere in the hall much heavier.

He always wore his armor from beginning to end, never taking it off.

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Zuo bowed his head and clasped his fists: "Reporting to Zhou Zhen Shou, Huang Jie, the exorcist, sent word back. He encountered something strange in Guang Yuan Prefecture. My knowledge is limited, so I specially came to report to Lord Zhen Shou."

"Speak!"

"Yes—"

Jiang Zuo only then straightened up and relayed what Shen Changqing had said to him word for word.

After he finished speaking.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, then disappeared.

"Is that really true"

“Indeed!” Jiang Zuo nodded.

“Alright, I’m aware of the situation. You may leave now. Afterwards, please summon that Yellow-ranked demon exorcist.”

Zhou Yuan raised his hand, and his expression returned to calm.

This is a test.

When Jiang Zuo heard this, he bowed and stepped back.

When Jiang Zuo left, Zhou Yuan's face regained its seriousness.

“Strange, could it be that...it actually appeared”

But it's impossible, the Demonic Suppression Division clearly already searched Guangyuan Prefecture thoroughly. Why is it only appearing now, this is really troublesome!

Look!

The door to the courtyard creaked open, Shen Changqing sheathed his sword and directly opened the door.

The gate opened, and I saw Jiang Zuo standing there.

And when Shen Changqing appeared.

Jiang Zuo's face also twitched.

Just now, when the other party opened the door, he actually felt a gust of blood rushing towards him, making his heart tense up.

>

But now the blood wind has disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

But.

Jiang Zuo can be certain that his own feelings are definitely not illusions.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Sorry to disturb your cultivation"

"Just finished my cultivation, Elder Jiang arrived at the perfect time."

Shen Changqing smiled and didn't talk much about cultivation.

“Jiang, the steward, suddenly visited. Is there something the matter”

>

“I've reported everything you said earlier. Now, Zhou Yuan is stationed at Zhou Town and wants to meet with you. Come with me.”

Okay, no problem.

Though Shen Changqing remained outwardly composed, his heart was stirred.

Who is Zhou Yuan Before this, he had never heard of him.

However, the two characters "鎮守" already explain everything.

Commander!

A being that completely surpasses even the Demon Slayer.

To be honest.

The highest-level person Shen Changqing had ever encountered was Jiang Feng, who was in charge. However, the other party was only a Xuan rank demon slayer.

Compared to the General in Charge, it was several ranks lower.

Now, being summoned by a guardian general, it was impossible for him to say he wasn't nervous at all.

However.

Shen Changqing also understood that he had no way to refuse the summons of the other party.

Following behind Jiang Zuo, he walked towards the Hall of Deliberations.

Very soon.

The two entered the main hall one after the other.

“Huangbu Exorcism Academy's Manager Jiang Feng, meets Zhou Zhen-shou!”

"Huang Jie, the demon slayer Shen Changqing, greets Zhou Zhen Shou!"

When Shen Changqing saw Jiang Feng, he also bowed his head and clasped his fist in greeting.

"No need for formalities."

Zhou Yuan spoke calmly, then his gaze fell on Shen Changqing.

"Are you Shen Changqing"

"Exactly!"

To Zhou Yuanzheng's question, Shen Changqing nodded in acknowledgment.

When his gaze fell upon the other, it was as if the person before him were an unfathomable abyss. Just sitting there, they could suppress everything.

In contrast.

...the martial artist who had reached the level of innate energy aura seemed much weaker.

Zhou Yuan was saying, "You've done well in Lin'an City. Being able to make the Everlasting Alliance suffer is also defending the reputation of my Demon Suppression Division. With your talent, if you don't die prematurely, there's a good chance you could become a Guardian."

First, a word of praise.

Then.

Zhou Yuan's tone suddenly shifted.

“The reason I summoned you here is very simple. Tell me in detail about the demon you encountered, leaving out no discrepancies or omissions.”

"Yes!"

Shen Changqing nodded, pondered for a moment in his heart, and then told what had happened to him one by one.

> After he finished speaking.

>The hall fell silent.

Zhou Yuan sat upright, motionless, as if lost in thought. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly.

“As expected—”did he finally stop.The Extermination Blade, trapped within its mortal shell, suddenly erupted with a terrifying sharpness. It ripped through Shen Changqing's flesh and bone with brutal force, fleeing...
