The snake demon’s form faltered, its robe detonating on the spot.
The knotted musculature of its upper body gleamed blue with scales, which crystallized into ice, effortlessly warding off numerous streams of Qi.
However, in that instant, the figure of Chen Dengming had already appeared ten feet away.
His eyes burst forth with a dazzling brilliance as he unleashed his Refining Spirit Skill in conjunction with his Sword Intent.
In a flash, it was as if two shining sharp blades were fired from his eyes, plunging into the chilling icy blue pupils of the snake demon.

In this fleeting moment, both the man and the demon revealed sharp edges in their gaze, akin to divine weapons, clashing in the void.
Chen Dengming instantly felt an abnormally massive surge of mental power retaliating against him.
...
He grunted, gritting his teeth and steadying his heart.
The Divine Change Saber issued its command.
The Divine Change Saber metamorphosed into hundreds of beams of sabre light, its echoing saber noise sounded like a series of muffled thunder in the sky.
It appeared as though the scales of thousands of river fish melded with the coursing Qi, crashing violently onto the snake demon.
“Crack——”
The scales barely held for a half-breath before bursting apart, with blue blood splattering violently.
The snake demon screamed in pain, its body erupting with a shocking demonic force.
A vast area of icy air was scattered around it, causing the onslaught of the Divine Change sabre to stall more and more, with frosting flowers and snow patterns crystallizing on the blade.
The surrounding ground was scattered with frost, like a broken handkerchief embroidered with countless silver threads.
“Burn!”
At this moment, Cao Yan bellowed fiercely, commanding a magic artifact that looked like a heated iron rod.
It gave off smoky vapors, suddenly crashing down onto the demon’s head.
The flames and frost dispersed simultaneously with a “thud”, causing the ground to fracture under the intense fire’s assault, churning up chunks of scorched earth.
The snake demon cried out in pain and staggered backward.
The others had also recovered by this time, taking actions simultaneously.
Various magic artifacts and Daoist techniques were unleashed haphazardly.
…
After a few breaths’ time.
A brilliant and shining golden giant emerged on the battlefield, wielding a large sabre that was up to 80 feet long.
With the Saber Qi raising violent gusts of wind, it began to ruthlessly strike at the snake demon, chopping off its frost-covered body as the ground cracked under the constant sound of “clang clang”.
Within a span of a tea ceremony time, the late-stage snake demon of the Foundation Establishment was completely and miserably killed.
The experience of this battle came not without a cost, even resulting in injuries for some.
But seeing the snake demon corpse that still radiated a strong presence of Evil Qi and Spiritual Might on the ground, they all remained amazed and slightly dazed.
This was a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon and the strange sound waves from the demon’s initial roar caused everyone’s heads to throb and turn dizzy.
Even if Cao Yan, who was also at the late-stage Foundation Establishment, had faced it, he would have been forced to barely fend it off and escape in the end.
After all, demons were always stronger than cultivators on the same level and normally, only cultivators from large sects could singly defeat demons on the same level.
But demons were even more terrifying than demonic beasts because they usually had special abilities similar to bloodline talents.
Like the previous howling and the skillful use of ice elemental spiritual energy, to cast demonic arts, and so forth.
This late-stage Foundation Establishment demon was evidently the leader of this area and they had just slain it so quickly.
Everyone knew who contributed the most to the battle…
“Brother Chen, your reputation indeed precedes you, your strength in battle is astonishing.
If not for your timely return attack, there would’ve been casualties amongst us.
We should all thank you.”
After administering healing magic for Yang Lan, Cao Yan looked towards Chen Dengming with a beaming smile and courteously spoke.
Zhou Yunji’s expression was pale, he had yet to recover fully.
But upon hearing this, he immediately saluted Chen Dengming, “Thank you, Brother Chen.
I owe you my life.”
Honestly speaking, if Chen Dengming hadn’t intervened so promptly, Zhou Yunji would have been in grave danger.
He might even have been impaled by a spear.
“Brother Zhou, you don’t need to be so polite.
We are in this together; we promised mutual support, remember?”
Chen Dengming held a Spirit Stone in his hand, quickly replenishing his spiritual energy, and shook his head immediately when he heard the words.
“Yes…yes, Junior Brother is right…” Zhou Yunji’s lips trembled slightly, and he felt very awkward.
His original intention was to take care of this junior brother a little bit, thinking that his strength was still a little stronger than his, but now it seemed that he was the one who was the junior.
A cultivator called Qi Fen from the Longevity Sect also stirred up trouble.
“Senior Brother Chen, I should call you Senior Brother Chen now, the previous title was correct.”
Chen Dengming forced a smile, too tired to be polite anymore, because he too was too exhausted.
Only he knew his own situation.
It was fortunate that the snake demon did not know how to use its vast divine sense, otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
“Alright, give Brother Chen some rest time, we’ve made too much noise.
We should set off immediately after sixty breaths, we can’t stay here too long.”
Cao Yan saw Chen Dengming was recovering, he didn’t want to be polite anymore, so he interrupted directly, then looked at Chen Dengming and smiled.
“Brother Chen, the corpse of this late-stage Demon, is a treasury from head to toe, although we don’t eat this kind of thing, but it is good for refining artifacts…and besides, if we bring this back, it will also count as a merit.
Why don’t you take this corpse?”
Chen Dengming was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood Cao Yan’s intentions.
He was trying to do him a favor, and also show that he was not greedy for merit.
But he still shook his head with a smile, “Senior Brother Cao, my storage bag is really a bit small.
Please take this Demonic Beast corpse.
The credit is everyone’s, we will distribute it when we get back.”
This sentence once again earned everyone’s goodwill.
Who wouldn’t like to have a companion who is both strong and humble?
When Cao Yan heard this, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
At the same time, he was impressed and could only hold the corpse down first.
But Chen Dengming had his own thoughts.
There was no need to take this Demon corpse to make people envious and suspicious.
After all, human intentions are hard to fathom.
Furthermore, this Demon at the late stage of Foundation Establishment was not a nameless being.
It might be a general from the Demon Country, or a subordinate of the previously encountered Golden Core Bull Demon.
Carrying this corpse in the war area, it would be unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse if Demonic Qi leaked when the storage bag was opened.
It’s inauspicious.
Just to be on the safe side, it’s best not to get involved.
After a brief rest, everyone promptly set off again, heading straight for the mission destination according to the map route.
However, the next journey was not smooth sailing, occasionally encountering small groups of patrolling Demonic Beasts.
Even if all of them showed their divine skills like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, they couldn’t help but be exhausted from running around.
They now realized that clustered together, the Escape Light target and the Wind Breaker noise they made were too conspicuous.
It’s better to disperse and travel separately.
Doing so, although the safety factor decreased, it’s not being clustered together, the concealability would be much stronger, and it would be much easier to penetrate further into the war zone.
…
Half a day later.
It was nightfall.
A shadow with two wings glided slightly like a fish swimming in the water.
It gracefully swooped into a forest and landed lightly on a large tree.
Chen Dengming dismounted from the Black Cloud Leopard, patted the loyal beast in satisfaction, and then began to carefully observe his surroundings…
