60: Fight and Flight

Qin Yue, of course, knew there were Demons guarding the valley entrance, but since he had already been discovered, Qin Yue could only break out of the valley entrance before the other Demons reacted.

However, while Qin Yue was fast, there was a Demon faster than him; a pair of demonic claws attacked from behind Qin Yue, aiming directly for his brain.

In this critical moment, Qin Yue seemed to want to turn and face the enemy, but his body wouldn't obey, his feet tangled, and he tumbled to the ground.

Fortunately, this tumble allowed Qin Yue to dodge the claw aimed at the back of his head.

Unfortunately, this tumble seemed to have been too hard; Qin Yue tried to roll over but couldn't get up immediately.

Before Qin Yue could roll over again, the owner of the demonic claws from earlier attacked Qin Yue's back once more, the pair of demonic claws directly grabbing his shoulders.

Just as these demonic claws were about to exert force, pierce Qin Yue's shoulders, and lift him up...

Qin Yue instantly rolled over and pulled out a dull black sword from beneath him.

His entire body's Blood Qi surged, Blood Qi fluid coated the sword, and with one strike, he pierced through the bird Demon whose claws were on his shoulder.

When Qin Yue emerged from the crack in the ground, he had already activated his Super-Sense state, so he naturally sensed this bird Demon's intention to ambush him, which played right into Qin Yue's hands.

It was also Qin Yue's oversight; he had been able to sense that, apart from the Demon King, the greatest threats to him during this period were one human and one Demon.

Both the human and the Demon had reached a Realm equivalent to a Martial Artist's Ninggang Realm.

During this escape, his entire attention was focused on those two experts, and he didn't notice the Eagle Demon in the sky.

When learning the Shadow Step, his Master had introduced that the Shadow Step's greatest nemesis was the Eagle Demon.

Because when an Eagle Demon reaches the Great Demon Realm, it awakens an ability called 'True Eye,' which can see through all illusions and disguises, which is why Qin Yue's whereabouts were exposed.

If he didn't kill this Eagle Demon, Qin Yue would never have peace; even if he escaped this valley, Qin Yue would not escape the pursuit of these Demons.

Qin Yue severely wounded this Eagle Demon with one strike, but he didn't have time to finish it off.

He pulled out his black sword, picked up his satchel, and continued to flee towards the valley entrance.

At this moment, the Demons guarding the valley entrance also reacted; one after another, Demons rushed out from the houses on both sides of the valley entrance, jumped down the cliff, and charged towards Qin Yue.

Qin Yue knew that the valley entrance was entirely guarded by Demons; perhaps the Demon King found humans more comfortable to serve him, so all the humans were in the Demon King's palace serving him.

And many Demons had extremely poor hygiene habits, so these Demons were all stationed far from the palace, guarding the valley entrance.

Facing the more than a hundred Demons charging towards him, Qin Yue didn't even blink; with a black saber in one hand and a black sword in the other, he charged in the opposite direction towards the Demons.

Yes, Qin Yue ultimately couldn't bear to give up the Mad Demon Saber Technique, so he utilized the characteristic of his consciousness and the System being able to multitask, creating a combat style that used both saber and sword simultaneously.

Qin Yue had now completed the third Body Refining transformation, and his Blood Qi fluid had also been refined by Evil Qi, which meant he stood at the peak of the Liquid Transformation Realm.

Facing these charging minor Demons, it was one saber strike per Demon, and one sword strike for two.

He didn't even slow down his forward speed, as he directly cut through the minor Demons' encirclement.

But cutting through the minor Demons' encirclement was nothing; the Demon waiting for him ahead was the real trouble.

The Tiger Demon waiting for Qin Yue to rush out ahead was the Great Demon Qin Yue had previously detected, equivalent to a Martial Artist's Ninggang Realm cultivation.

This Tiger Demon had a tiger's head and a human body, stood nearly three meters tall, held a heavy hammer in each hand, and stood motionless on the vital path Qin Yue had to take to exit the valley.

Qin Yue knew this was a necessary hurdle for him, and he had to finish it quickly, because once the other Ninggang Realm human caught up, he would have no escape.

Qin Yue did not slow down and charged directly at the Tiger Demon.

His right hand's black saber struck directly, a blow aimed at the Tiger Demon's face.

The Tiger Demon's feet remained still, and its right hand's heavy hammer swung upwards in a semicircle, colliding with Qin Yue's black saber, directly knocking Qin Yue's black saber out of his hand and sending it flying into the sky.

Its left hand's heavy hammer swung in a full circle from left to right, directly smashing towards Qin Yue's body.

Qin Yue's right hand, due to the shock of the heavy hammer, even his Body Refining third transformation hand was bleeding profusely from the impact.

Seeing the Tiger Demon's heavy hammer strike, Qin Yue quickly raised the black sword in his left hand to block in front of him.

The next instant, Qin Yue, man and sword, was struck by the Tiger Demon's heavy hammer and sent flying, his entire body slammed against the mountain wall at the valley exit.

The Tiger Demon turned to look at Qin Yue, who was slowly sliding down the mountain wall, and snorted lightly,

"Little Demon Sect thief, overestimating yourself!"

The Tiger Demon put down its heavy hammer, walked over to Qin Yue, and its large hands reached for Qin Yue's neck, who was lying on the ground.

Just then, Qin Yue flipped over and leaped up again, striking with both fists towards the Tiger Demon's chest.

The Tiger Demon seemed to have anticipated this; the direction of its large hands, which were reaching for Qin Yue's neck, changed slightly, now covering Qin Yue's outstretched fists.

Qin Yue's two fists struck the Tiger Demon's palms, like a diver entering water, without a single splash.

Instead, both fists were caught by one of the Tiger Demon's large hands.

"You little Demon spawn, you can't even penetrate my protective Spiritual Qi, and you still want to struggle?"

With that, the Tiger Demon slowly tightened its large hand, as if intending to directly crush Qin Yue's fists.

"Ah!"

Qin Yue let out a loud roar, and all the Blood Qi fluid in his body converged into his right fist; the more Blood Qi fluid gathered in his right fist, the more Qin Yue's fist swelled.

Until his right fist could no longer contain the Blood Qi fluid, his entire right fist, including the flesh, directly exploded.

This violent explosion also directly blew open the Tiger Demon's large hand that was gripping Qin Yue, causing a sharp pain in the Tiger Demon's hand.

However, Qin Yue paid a much greater price; his right hand became a skeletal claw, and his left hand was also bleeding profusely from the explosion.

"Still daring to resist?"

Feeling the small wound on his hand caused by Qin Yue's explosion, the Tiger Demon was furious.

He hadn't expected to be injured by such a weak demonic disciple due to a moment of carelessness; although the wound was extremely small and would heal quickly given the strength of his body, it would be too embarrassing to admit.

He decided to capture Qin Yue alive and torture him for a month before allowing him to die.

The Tiger Demon put down its injured right hand and extended its left hand, directly grabbing for Qin Yue's head.

However, this grab missed its target.

It stepped forward with its right leg, intending to take another step to continue capturing Qin Yue, but its right leg tripped over its left leg, and the entire Demon tumbled.

The Tiger Demon didn't know, but Qin Yue certainly knew what was happening.

During the explosion of his right fist, Qin Yue had sent some of his Blood Qi fluid into the Tiger Demon's body.

The Tiger Demon was just like Qin Yue the first time he experienced the Super-Sense state; its sensory System was completely disordered, and every movement would cause it to fall.

If this Tiger Demon were one-on-one with Qin Yue, then Qin Yue would now, no matter what, break through its protective Spiritual Qi and slay it on the spot.

But the death threat coming from behind him made Qin Yue realize he had no time; he had to escape quickly!

Qin Yue could only let go of the Tiger Demon, pick up the black saber and black sword with his only remaining left hand, activate Shadow Step and Blood Qi Circulation Method, and rush out of the valley entrance into the dense forest, disappearing.
