Betraying either side would mean death, and his life as a tiger would come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui frowned suspiciously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this Old Demon’s spiritual sense be this strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hook-nosed, thin-mouthed Old Demon beside him also sniffed the air, then shook his head and laughed, \"Brother Shan, you jest. If there were humans, how could they escape your notice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jin, you might not know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon sneered, \"If it were anything else, it would be fine, but there’s a scent I’m all too familiar with, and that is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the Mountain Demon turned to look at the inner chamber,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The scent of a woman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone bed suddenly exploded, and the young girl turned into a golden light, shooting straight toward the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty Tiger was initially startled but felt at ease once he saw it wasn’t Zhang Kui. He roared fiercely, yet his body stealthily moved backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-robed Old Demon chuckled silently, while the Mountain Demon gave a sly grin. His figure vanished instantly, swept up by a fierce wind, and appeared in front of the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui’s pupils narrowed; he hadn’t seen the Mountain Demon’s movement clearly. This speed was nearly supernatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stopped with a grim face, her hands gradually becoming as crystalline as jade, ready for a desperate fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon licked his sharp claws with his tongue, his thick lips showing a perverted expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little beauty, what’s the rush...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his face stiffened, his eyes filled with disbelief, \"A reincarnated one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp-nosed white-robed Old Demon sprang up instantly, appearing next to the Mountain Demon, squinting at the girl with growing greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, although the two demons came to Qingzhou to find the \"Reincarnated One,\" they barely hoped to succeed.

Some benefits are best taken alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their falling out came so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty Tiger was stunned, suddenly feeling that he was quite honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui squinted his eyes slightly, ready to strike at the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was also taken aback but quickly laughed delicately, \"Gentlemen, with whom should I go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication of sowing discord was utterly unrestrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, both Old Demons merely sneered, not responding, while cautiously watching each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, chaos erupted outside the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several wolf demons and snake demons, hearing the commotion inside, thought something had happened and quickly ran in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a silver light suddenly shot out, looping around twice. Several Little Demons all had blood holes appear on their foreheads, their eyes dimming as they fell softly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Sheng floated down gracefully. With a sword gesture, the Nether Void Sword, which was suspended in the air, flew into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was definitely worth coming here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Sheng was somewhat moved. In the perilous situation, communicating day and night with the Nether Void Divine Intent allowed him to utilize the sect’s flying sword briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhu Sheng couldn’t indulge in his success at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaos inside the cave suggested that Brother Zhang had been discovered, so it was best to rescue him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Zhu Sheng held his sword horizontally and shot into the cave with a swoosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Qi sliced through; along the way, several Little Demons were beheaded. Zhu Sheng dashed into the hall and shouted angrily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhang, leave quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon seeing the scene before him, he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s Brother Zhang...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who is this woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear me, what’s going on...\" Fatty Tiger slapped his eye with his paw, feeling utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon Old Demon was furious, \"And who are you, what Brother Zhang, could there be more humans infiltrating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he scanned the area with a fierce glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sigh echoed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui leisurely stepped out from behind the stalactite, twirling his Lu Li Sword with a flourish, and chuckled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mountain Demon Old Demon, today you’ve indeed hit the jackpot...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-robed, sharp-mouthed Old Demon mocked, \"Old Mountain Demon, this kid is right. With his sneaky infiltration skills, you might face disaster today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon kept a sullen face and said nothing, rubbing his sharp claws together, sparks flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Old Demons were wary of each other, and Zhang Kui, Zhu Sheng, and the young girl dared not act rashly, causing the scene to deadlock immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip, drip...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood of a Headless Wolf Demon kept dripping, and a baby in the kitchen started crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl suddenly broke into a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brothers, you two handle the rear; we’ll meet up shortly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she spun around, surprisingly using the Earth Escape Skill, burrowed into the ground, and her aura shot straight out of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two demons roared angrily and followed closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhu, don’t block them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui hurriedly reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Sheng, though unsure of what was happening, sensibly stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the enraged Mountain Demon casually swiped, intending to remove Zhu Sheng’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stabilize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui’s voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon Old Demon instantly froze all over, rolling on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Sheng didn’t miss the opportunity, a flash of sword light, a mournful howl followed, the Old Demon was shockingly severed of an arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the young girl and the white-robed Old Demon had already chased far ahead, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoo, hoo...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon knew it couldn’t catch up, and panted heavily, glaring at them with fury nearly tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Huang had mentioned that demons cultivate through three paths: bloodline, moon worship, and imitating humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodline strengthens the physique, adept in innate divine powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imitating humans leads to stable progress and the ability to learn human race skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for moon worship, it involves cultivating a demon pill, making mana far more profound than the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon Old Demon’s expression was grim, its terrifying aura continually spreading, making the entire cave rumble, with constant dust and stones falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhu Sheng didn’t hesitate, pinching a spell, and with a sword gesture, \"Pierce!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Void Sword instantly shot out, brilliant as a cascade, like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flying sword?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon was evidently startled, shrieked, and immediately vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, a sudden wild wind howled inside the cave, flying sand and stones, large millstone-sized bluestones pelted down like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly some form of magic from the Mountain Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang, clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Sheng’s sword light danced, circling him several times, shredding the massive stones to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, wielding a flying sword consumed enormous energy, as Zhu Sheng’s face turned pale, finding it difficult to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon Old Demon’s figure flickered amidst the gale, \"Kid, daring to provoke this elder with just a flying sword, you’re seeking death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind intensified, a few even larger boulders flew in from outside, showcasing the mana superiority of the old demon in the Grain Avoidance Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as it boasted, Zhang Kui suddenly charged forward, his figure like a bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulders shattered along his path, relieving Zhu Sheng’s encirclement, while a menacing black light flashed, and the Lu Li Sword struck forcefully at the Mountain Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic was interrupted, and the Mountain Demon roared, its form turning into shadows, swirling around Zhang Kui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with one arm left, its sharp claw was no less deadly than a sword or blade, a hit could be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui was already aware of its speed, simultaneously using Life Light Skill, Clone Skill, and Qi Prohibition Skill, blending two shadows together, energy waves scattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Sheng watched anxiously from the side but dared not approach, fearing to injure Zhang Kui with the flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, from within the shadows, came several consecutive calls, \"Stabilize! Stabilize! Stabilize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a black light flashed, and everything went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Demon was cleaved in two, lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kui panted heavily and gave a grim smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the opponent had already lost an arm, it was his first frontal confrontation, slaying an old demon in the Grain Avoidance Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even had time to rejoice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave entrance suddenly exploded, and a figure hovered as it flew in—National Guardian True Man Tianji Zi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was somber, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his skin sizzled with lightning flashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1575,"2026-06-05T23:30:41.664Z",1,"novelbin.me","f58724222a38312f216d220050624a597360be7a6bdd0dab5d9ce1cb430a902c","cultivation-starts-from-killing-pigs-chapter-59","cultivation-starts-from-killing-pigs-chapter-57",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-starts-from-killing-pigs-cover.jpg"]
