197: Suppressing demons with fists, one person can reach ten thousand armies!

Life Soul Hall.

Stone Second Tiger looked excitedly at the life soul tablets hanging in the shrine.

Guarding the life soul tablets was a tedious job.

Especially now, with strict prohibitions on entering and leaving the small space.

There would be no battle losses, so the life soul tablets naturally wouldn't have problems.

Of course, this was under normal circumstances.

Today, however, might be completely different.

"Counting the time, Shadow will attack in an hour at most.

"Even if breaking through the Magic Array will be a bit difficult, with the weak points I've marked, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Shadow still has powerful Magic Array Grandmasters, so there shouldn't be any issues."

Thinking this, Stone Second Tiger became even more expectant.

Looking at the life soul tablets in the shrine, emitting brilliant light, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"When the time comes, when these life soul tablets shatter one by one, won't it be beautiful?"

As if seeing the scene about to unfold, Stone Second Tiger's smile grew wider.

However, his smile quickly froze, and he stared wide-eyed at the life soul tablets, his face filled with astonishment.

He saw the leftmost life soul tablet on the top row shatter with a 'crack', scattering within the shrine.

There were only twenty positions on the top row in total.

After some changes, there were now only fifteen life soul tablets, representing the Elders and Priests of the Heavenly Demon Cult, the fifteen highest-ranking individuals in the cult.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for such high-ranking individuals to encounter accidents.

But now—

"It's the Ninth Elder's life soul tablet!

"Ninth Elder was murdered?

"What's going on?

"Or did he suffer Qi Deviation while Cultivating a Demonic Technique and exploded?"

Stone Second Tiger was full of doubts, his mind racing.

He was hesitating whether to report this matter.

The sudden shattering of a life soul tablet would inevitably affect Shadow's subsequent actions, which could be considered 'beating the grass to startle the snake'.

"Damn it, a problem at this very moment! If the Heavenly Demon Cult's high-ranking members discover the anomaly and become vigilant... Even if Shadow ultimately wins, it will increase unnecessary casualties!"

His mind was filled with countless thoughts, one after another.

Finally, Stone Second Tiger gritted his teeth, quickly picked up the shattered life tablet from the shrine, put it into his storage space, and at the same time, took out a similar-looking tablet and placed it there.

"I didn't expect the tablet I carved for fun in my spare time to come in handy!"

Stone Second Tiger sighed with emotion.

He had only recently been transferred to headquarters.

Some procedures hadn't been completed yet.

This meant his life soul tablet hadn't been processed yet.

When he had nothing to do, he casually carved a similar-looking tablet, but he never expected it to be useful now.

"With this fake tablet in place, even if the patrol comes later, it won't be easy for them to discover the anomaly—"

Stone Second Tiger breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his expression soon changed again, and he became somewhat worried:

"If a life soul tablet shatters, the Demon God Hall might also perceive some anomaly.

"But the Cult Leader seems to be immersed in Cultivation recently and has no time for other matters. If only one or two life soul tablets shatter, he shouldn't notice so quickly."

Thinking this, Stone Second Tiger once again breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as I can hold out until Shadow arrives, everything will be foolproof!"

However, just at this moment—

Crack!

Another 'crack' sound rang out.

Stone Second Tiger trembled, his body stiff, and he twisted his neck with difficulty to look to the side.

"Another one, shattered again? It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Holy crap! Don't mess with me!"

Stone Second Tiger was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he saw, suspecting he was hallucinating.

"This one is the Eighth Elder's life soul tablet—

"Could he have been Cultivating Demonic Techniques with the Ninth Elder?

"Could it be that the two of them were... Dual Cultivating?"

Thinking this, Stone Second Tiger gasped.

"That's truly perverse! Two old men playing such games!"

Finally, Stone Second Tiger took a deep breath and quickly ran over to collect the Eighth Elder's life soul tablet as well.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any extra tablets on him.

"No big deal, no big deal. For the Life Soul Hall, the patrol team only glances casually, they might not notice a missing life soul tablet.

"Just two, the Demon God Hall won't easily notice either. The Cult Leader is focused on Cultivation, oblivious to outside matters, he won't pay attention!"

After tidying up, Stone Second Tiger patted his cheeks and prayed internally.

"May all the gods and buddhas bless me, may all the gods and buddhas bless me, please don't let any more shatter—"

However, no sooner had this thought arisen than another 'crack' sound was heard.

"@**%!" Stone Second Tiger cursed out loud, exasperated.

"What the hell is this? Are they all Cultivating together, and all suffering Qi Deviation together?" Stone Second Tiger's brows furrowed.

Soon, he reacted.

"No, it's not an accident, an assassin has infiltrated!"

Thinking this, Stone Second Tiger's face was filled with disbelief, and he quickly ran out of the main hall, looking around.

No sound whatsoever!

Three Guiyuan Realm Elders had died consecutively, yet not a single sound was made!

"This assassin is too strong! In such a short time, they've dealt with three Guiyuan Realm Elders consecutively! Without even making a sound!"

Taking a deep breath, Stone Second Tiger forced himself to calm down and quickly ran back to the Life Soul Hall, staring unblinkingly at the life soul tablets enshrined in the shrine.

At the same time, with another 'crack', the fourth life soul tablet also shattered.

Witnessing this scene, Stone Second Tiger was dumbfounded, feeling his scalp tingle!

"Too strong, this assassination speed! Does he want to wipe out all of the Heavenly Demon Cult's high-end combat power in one fell swoop?"

"God bless, God bless! Please let the Cult Leader discover the problem with the life soul tablets a little later!"

Stone Second Tiger trembled with excitement.

Such terrifying assassination efficiency.

If the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader discovered the anomaly a few minutes later, that peerless assassin might really be able to slaughter all of the Heavenly Demon Cult's high-end combat power!

Even if he couldn't deal with the top few Elders and Priests, he could still severely wound the Heavenly Demon Cult!

This way, when Shadow's main force attacked, it would be much easier!

"Big boss is awesome! Big boss, keep it up! Big boss, kill them all!" Stone Second Tiger trembled with excitement again.

"When did Shadow get such an assassin? They're too strong! Infiltrating silently, slaughtering those in the Guiyuan Realm like chickens!

"This strength is at least Guiyuan Peak!

"Could Commander Lin have made a move?

"No, no, even Commander Lin couldn't achieve such a degree!

"Is it an external helper they invited?"

Stone Second Tiger was so excited his brain was a bit oxygen-deprived.

He had been an undercover agent for so many years, assisting the organization in completing missions perfectly time and time again.

But this was the first time he had been this excited.

"It's also possible that he wasn't sent by Shadow! But how did he find the entrance to the Heavenly Demon Cult?" Numerous thoughts surfaced in his mind, and Stone Second Tiger became even more confused.

However, he quickly shook his head vigorously: "Who cares, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. What I need to do now is assist him!"

Thinking this, Stone Second Tiger's expression immediately became resolute.

"No, I must do something for this big boss too, at least buy him some time!

"The more high-end combat power he assassinates, the more advantageous it will be for our Shadow's operation!"

Stone Second Tiger's expression was firm, and he directly turned and walked out of the Life Soul Hall.

He took a deep breath, slammed the main door shut, quickly hung up a sign that read "Magic Array Maintenance, Do Not Approach," and then swiftly ran towards the main Demon God Hall.

"Big boss, hold on a little longer!"

At the same time, another 'crack' sound faintly emanated.

No sooner had he left than another 'crack' sound echoed from within the Life Soul Hall... As a Destiny Martial Artist.

Stone Second Tiger was very fast.

In less than two minutes, he had arrived at the main Demon God Hall from the Life Soul Hall.

He disregarded the guards' obstruction, barging in boldly while shouting loudly:

"Cult Leader, something terrible has happened, Cult Leader! Your subordinate has an urgent matter to report!

"Something terrible has happened, Cult Leader! Your subordinate, Stone Second Tiger, has an urgent matter to report!

"You idiots, don't stop me! I need to see the Cult Leader! If you delay this, ten lives won't be enough to pay for it!

"Cult Leader! Your subordinate has an urgent matter to report!"

Inside the Demon God Hall.

The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader was Cultivating the Heavenly Demon Record, and the heart in the blood pool was beating violently, with wisps of bloody mist surging from the pool and gathering towards him.

Soon, he frowned, noticing a slight fluctuation in the Magic Array control room.

The Magic Array control room was connected to every important area of the Heavenly Demon Cult, allowing him to monitor every corner at any time if he wished.

"Where did the problem occur?" The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader frowned, stood up, and was about to walk towards the Magic Array control room.

However, just as he stood up, he heard a commotion from outside the hall.

"Cult Leader, your subordinate, Stone Second Tiger, has an urgent matter to report!"

Hearing the voice, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader's expression darkened, and he was about to erupt.

"Dare to make noise outside the Demon God Hall? Do you have no attachment to this world?"

However, the name Stone Second Tiger quickly came to his mind.

"Forget it, I'll see him." The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader frowned and strode out of the hall.

If it were anyone else who dared to make noise outside the Demon God Hall, he would have ordered them killed long ago.

But Stone Second Tiger was different.

He was a junior valued by the Grand Elder.

He was even subtly being groomed as a successor.

Such a talent would never rashly rush over unless there was an extremely urgent matter.

Therefore, even if Stone Second Tiger's actions were a bit out of line, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader could tolerate it somewhat.

A moment later, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader stepped out of the hall.

He gave Stone Second Tiger a cold glance and said in an extremely chilling tone, "If you can't explain yourself, even I, who cherishes talent, cannot keep you."

Glancing at the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader, Stone Second Tiger flinched and quickly said:

"Reporting to Cult Leader, the Ninth Elder's life soul tablet suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a humming sound, as if it was about to shatter. I wonder if an accident occurred!"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader's expression grew even darker: "If there's a problem with a life soul, you should go to the High Priest, why did you run to the Demon God Hall? Who taught you to act this way?"

Hearing these words, Stone Second Tiger trembled and quickly said: "The Cult Leader instructed that this is the most crucial and turbulent time for the Sacred Cult, and we must not be careless!

"The Ninth Elder's life soul tablet suddenly vibrated violently, seemingly about to shatter. Your subordinate was anxious and rushed to the Demon God Hall. Your subordinate suspects he encountered an assassination!"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader's brows furrowed, and he stared coldly at Stone Second Tiger.

Then, he snorted coldly, and bloody mist surged around him, impacting Stone Second Tiger like a storm.

In an instant, Stone Second Tiger felt the bloody mist obscure the sky, ten thousand jin boulders being swept up, dark clouds pressing down, and a howling gale. His body trembled uncontrollably.

"Scram!"

A single word exploded in his ears, and Stone Second Tiger felt as if his chest had been struck by a cannonball, instantly collapsing a large section. His internal organs were directly displaced, and he didn't know how many bones were broken.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Stone Second Tiger flew backward, landing on the plaza thirty meters away.

He felt a sweetness in his throat, and a large mouthful of fresh blood gushed out. His spirit immediately weakened, and his whole body ached as if pricked by needles, on the verge of fainting at any moment.

But even so, he still struggled to get up, knelt on one knee, and bowed towards the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader, saying:

"Thank you, Cult Leader, for not killing me..."

"Remember, in the future, for such minor matters, go directly to the Grand Elder or the High Priest. Don't disturb my Cultivation!"

With that, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader waved his large hand and turned to re-enter the main hall.

For him, let alone an anomaly with the Ninth Elder's life soul tablet, even if it shattered, his heart would remain unmoved.

Only if several Elders' life soul tablets experienced problems in a short period would it catch his attention.

"Continue comprehending the Heavenly Demon Record."

Glancing at the Magic Array control room, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader composed himself and did not walk over.

Since Stone Second Tiger had already come to report and he had instructed him to find the Grand Elder or High Priest to handle it, he didn't need to worry anymore.

If he, the Cult Leader, had to manage everything?

Would he still have time to Cultivate and enjoy life?

Thinking this, the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader returned to his throne, sat down cross-legged, with five hearts facing the sky, and circulated the Heavenly Demon Record breathing technique, continuing to Cultivate.

Crimson mist surged, and the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader's aura slowly rose.

At the same time.

Outside the hall.

Stone Second Tiger scrambled up from the ground, hurrying towards the Grand Elder's courtyard.

A moment later, after leaving the Grand Elder's residence, he immediately composed himself, activated his movement technique, turned into an afterimage, and sprinted towards the exit.

"After such a long delay.

"Even if the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader eventually discovered the anomaly.

"It would be enough for that mysterious assassin to assassinate enough high-ranking Heavenly Demon Cult members!

"Big boss, keep it up, kill them all!"

Stone Second Tiger took a deep breath and pushed his speed to the maximum.

However, he was soon stopped by Li Two's patrolling squad.

"Hey, where are you going? You can't go down the mountain now!

"Tell me, are you a spy? Stop! If you take another step, I won't be polite!"

Li Two, outwardly fierce but inwardly timid, blocked Stone Second Tiger.

"Get lost! I have urgent matters to attend to! I need to go out immediately! If you delay me, eight heads won't be enough for you to lose!"

With that, Stone Second Tiger pulled out the Grand Elder's approved handwritten order, looking arrogant and domineering.

Staying here any longer was useless for him.

He might as well go to the entrance to rendezvous with Shadow!

Of course, more importantly—

If the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader discovered something amiss.

He would likely come for him first.

If he didn't escape now, he might never have the chance to escape later!

"So it was the Grand Elder's handwritten order. My apologies for the offense just now, please, honored sir!" Li Two quickly moved aside, smiling apologetically.

"Hmph, dog-like thing!" Stone Second Tiger spat, once again turning into an afterimage and rushing down the mountain.

Li Two's face turned pale at this, but he dared not show his anger.

"Hmph, aren't you just a dog relying on human power? When this master becomes successful, I'll show you!"

...Meanwhile.

Mo Fan was counting.

"The seventh?

"The eighth?

"This should be the ninth, right?"

"Meow? This is the tenth!" Xiao Hei wanted to hit him. Couldn't he even do a child's arithmetic?

"Sorry, I killed too fast, I can't remember clearly." Mo Fan scratched his head. "Where is the next target?"

"Southwest direction, inside that building made of White Jade, where mist is rising!" Xiao Hei quickly transmitted the thought.

Mo Fan focused his gaze and looked over, immediately seeing a majestic palace shrouded in purple mist.

"Living so high-class, their strength shouldn't be low—" Mo Fan frowned.

"Right, there are only two ordinary Returning to Origin left, both at the Ninth Level of Guiyuan, not far from Guiyuan Peak." Xiao Hei replied.

"Alright, let's move!" Mo Fan's expression hardened, and he turned into an afterimage, charging towards that direction.

"Do we still need to assassinate? You've just broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, can you really deal with the Ninth Level of Guiyuan, meow?" Xiao Hei was a little worried.

"No problem, let alone the Ninth Level of Guiyuan, even Guiyuan Peak, I can suppress with a raise of my hand." Mo Fan said confidently.

Killing his way here, Mo Fan finally realized that his combat power was somewhat extraordinary.

In the Transcendence Realm, because his cultivation improved too quickly.

He spent too little time in certain minor Realms, even directly skipping several minor Realms, which led to a lack of a solid foundation, and his actual combat ability naturally couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, he later realized this problem and adjusted in the later minor Realms of the Transcendence Realm, making up for the deficiencies.

With experience, after Heavenly Mandate, Mo Fan took one step at a time to Breakthrough his cultivation.

Before defeating the Red-Clothed Female Ghost, even if he had more available attribute points, he would not Breakthrough his cultivation.

This led to him being fully enriched throughout the entire Destiny Realm, his Cultivation refined to the extreme, and his combat power developed to the extreme.

Breaking through to Returning to Origin in such a state, his combat power was naturally extraordinary.

Even though he had just broken through, he faintly possessed an invincible aura.

He even had an illusion.

Below the Supreme, he could suppress everyone with ease.

Of course, even so, he didn't become arrogant and still chose to assassinate the weaker Returning to Origin Cultivators first.

"Kill, kill until the world is bright and clear!" Xiao Hei suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmm?" Mo Fan was puzzled.

"These people Cultivate Demonic Technique, countless resentful Qi surrounds them, harming countless innocent beings.

"Their sins are grave, and they deserve to die. This Cat can't stand it anymore. After killing them, you use Pojun Fist to flatten this place, meow!" Xiao Hei said indignantly.

"Good, I was thinking the same thing.

"But then again, I've killed so many high-ranking Heavenly Demon Cult members in a row, why haven't I been noticed yet?"

Mo Fan was very confused.

Normally, no matter how well he concealed himself.

After killing so many important figures.

He should have been noticed long ago.

By now, the scene should be extremely chaotic.

However, not a single ripple had occurred.

"What's going on?" Mo Fan was puzzled.

"Who cares, meow! Just kill them! Are you afraid they have a conspiracy? You have the energy to kill a Supreme, so no matter how they scheme, it's useless.

"At worst, This Cat can also take a risk and burst out at a critical moment, no need to worry, meow!" Xiao Hei said indifferently.

"That's true." Mo Fan nodded, no longer overthinking, and continued his actions.

In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile!

Rushing along.

One person and one cat appeared before the building shrouded in purple mist.

Stealthily infiltrating, Mo Fan immediately saw a middle-aged man, about forty years old, built like a brown bear, eating in the courtyard.

However, upon seeing the food in his hand, Mo Fan's expression turned utterly cold.

"Who's there?" The man sensed something amiss, hurriedly dropped the bloody thigh in his hand, and looked towards Mo Fan with a wary expression.

Then, his face suddenly changed, revealing a look of horror.

"Danger!"

Just one glance at Mo Fan, and his many years of living on the edge instinctively made him sense danger.

He gasped, and without thinking, turned and shot into the sky, intending to fly towards the Demon God Hall.

At this, Mo Fan's expression turned cold, his movement technique Flowing Light silently activated, and he instantly shot out like a teleportation, appearing directly above the Burly Man's head.

"You—" The Burly Man, still with bloodstains on the corner of his mouth, his face greatly changed, was about to say something when he saw a terrifying black fist print strike down.

With a bang, the Pojun Fist slammed down, the Void Realm trembled, threatening to explode, endless thunder and dazzling light, like a scorching sun crashing down.

The Burly Man had no room to resist, instantly exploding into a cloud of blood mist that dispersed in the air. Not even a trace of Primordial Spirit Light escaped, all turning into nothingness.

"It's getting harder to kill them, this time it actually caused such a commotion—" Mo Fan sighed.

The Ninth Level of Guiyuan's strength was too great, forcing him to use Pojun Fist to barely achieve an instant kill.

After a moment of thought, he stopped overthinking, his ten fingers dancing, connecting with the great power of heaven and earth, quickly carving several Formation Source Runes, and throwing them into various corners of the courtyard to suppress the battle fluctuations.

After doing all this, Mo Fan turned to Xiao Hei: "Locate the next target."

"Okay, meow, please wait!" Xiao Hei immediately began to sense.

"It's nearby, in that ancient tall tower three streets to your right!" Xiao Hei quickly said.

"Good, continue the hunt!" Mo Fan turned into an afterimage and flew towards the tall tower... At the same time.

Demon God Hall.

The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader once again discovered an anomaly.

This time, there was a considerable fluctuation from the Formation control room.

"The matter hasn't been handled yet?" The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader's expression turned cold, and he rose and walked towards the control room.

A moment later, a thunderous roar erupted:

"Ming Di, Ming She, come to the Demon God Hall to see this Seat immediately!"

The roar, like thunder, echoed into the distance, instantly reaching the ears of the Grand Elder and the High Priest.

"The Cult Leader has issued an urgent summons! Something big has happened!"

"The usually calm Cult Leader is so furious? What exactly happened?"

"It seems the heavens are about to change!"

Two figures immediately rushed out from their respective courtyards, turning into streaks of light and flying towards the main hall, the Demon God Hall.

A moment later, they saw the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader, his blood Qi surging, his face extremely gloomy.

"Why is the Cult Leader so enraged? What is the matter?" Grand Elder Ming Di asked, bowing his head, looking anxious.

High Priest Ming She also looked anxious, glancing at the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader.

He was the newly appointed High Priest, his seniority far inferior to the Grand Elder's. Although his cultivation had also reached Guiyuan Peak, he was still far behind the Grand Elder and the Cult Leader, so he naturally dared not speak much at this moment.

The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader looked at the Grand Elder, saying expressionlessly: "Go and bring Stone Second Tiger here!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart immediately sank, and he quickly said:

"Reporting to the Cult Leader, Stone Second Tiger came to see this old man about ten minutes ago and asked this old man to approve a handwritten order for him to go out..."

"Hmm?" The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader's expression turned cold, his body's crimson color immediately boiled, ghosts wailed and gods howled in all directions, black lightning flashed, and space instantly twisted.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder fell to his knees with a thud, quickly saying:

"Cult Leader, spare my life! Stone Second Tiger came to the main hall just now, and this old man thought it was your command!"

"Foolish!" The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader waved his hand, and crimson mist instantly surged, forming a bloody hand that slapped towards the Grand Elder.

With a dull thud, the Grand Elder flew backward, spitting blood, his face terrified, daring not to be angry but not daring to speak.

Seeing this, the High Priest mustered his courage and said: "Cult Leader, what has happened?"

"Aside from you two, all other Elders and Priests have fallen. Stone Second Tiger concealed the situation of the broken life soulCard, suspected of being an undercover agent, cooperating with the assassin from inside!" The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader's face was extremely grim.

The vast Heavenly Demon Cult was actually infiltrated by an assassin, and so many Elders were killed!

It was simply a great humiliation!

"This—" The High Priest's face changed drastically, suspecting he was hallucinating.

The Grand Elder was even more frightened, scrambling up from the ground, saying in a voice filled with extreme terror:

"What Stone Second Tiger did has nothing to do with this old man! This old man can swear before the Demon God!"

The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader merely glanced at him: "Get up, give the order, dig three feet deep, find that thief, and dismember him. Stone Second Tiger must not be let off either; pursue him to the ends of the earth, skin him alive, dry him, and use him as a sky lantern!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" The Grand Elder quickly scrambled up from the ground, turning to leave the main hall to begin his actions.

However, the moment he turned, his pupils contracted, and he frantically tried to retreat.

But it was too late.

A black fist print rapidly enlarged before his eyes, seemingly locking the Void Realm, making him unable to move, only able to let the fist print descend.

Boom!

A punch landed, like a black hole exploding, black lightning streaked across the sky, dazzling and oppressive, instantly piercing through the Grand Elder's body.

Blood spurted, and the Grand Elder's body twitched. He looked forward with disbelief, slowly falling to the ground with terror and unwillingness.

At the same time, with a whoosh, golden light gathered into a fist-sized figure, soaring into the sky.

That was the Grand Elder's Primordial Spirit.

However, with a smack, a terrifying golden handprint descended, covering the sky and earth, instantly crushing the Primordial Spirit Light into nothingness.

At the same time, a handsome and elegant figure slowly emerged, coldly looking at the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader.

"You seem to be looking for me?"
