Even if Yue Shuhong that old bastard stood here, he wouldn’t dare disrespect us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake-bodied, alluring woman giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, who is the Tiger-Robed Immortal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alluring woman, enraged by being ignored, flicked her tongue and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you seek the Tiger-Robed?” the giant bear suddenly spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao swung his blade and said, “Just borrowing its head to honor my uncle’s spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant bear felt its caution was pointless—had thought he came to deliver a message. It stopped looking at Li Hao and murmured, “Eat him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was addressed to the other demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, the alluring woman surged toward Li Hao, her smile blooming like flowers, voice sultry: “Come, sweet one, crawl into my mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic aura spread, yet she tore open her bloodied maw, stretching her alluring face grotesquely wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her seduction technique activated—even a Soul-Binding realm cultivator would be affected, mind disoriented, crawling obediently into her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, a streak of dark light flashed past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half her bloody mouth was ripped open like cloth caught in wind, flipping backward, the cut perfectly smooth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed out, splattering the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mockery in the other demons’ eyes froze instantly; the dwarf, withered old man who had leapt close to Li Hao halted mid-step, staring dumbfounded at the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s Demon-Slaying Blade was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black blade hovered midair, then shot forward like a shadow of dark light, carving a perfect arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the arc’s path severed the heads of several other Great Demons before they could react—this sudden change came too fast, beyond their comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you won’t speak, I’ll just slaughter you all and make a sacrificial altar.” Li Hao murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the hovering black Demon-Slaying Blade did not pause—it surged forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifteen Li realm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of monster is he?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All demons snapped awake, staring at Li Hao in horror, scrambling in every direction to flee the blade—but their movement speed couldn’t match the blade’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling an object forty li away wasn’t merely 2.5 times beyond the Fifteen Li realm—it was crushing dominance in power and speed. Like one man throwing a stone twenty meters, another a hundred—his arm strength gap was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they hadn’t even reached the Fifteen Li realm and couldn’t move their bodies through space. Already, some demons chose to abandon their flesh, releasing their primordial spirits to flee—so long as their spirit survived, they could possess another body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seated giant bear’s face changed. It rose abruptly, its massive body towering like a small building, staring intently at Li Hao as if trying to pierce through his true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen Li realm? How old is this boy?! It wouldn’t let its subordinates be slaughtered further—it struck suddenly, spewing black flame that coiled into a black fire dragon midair, roaring toward Li Hao with bared fangs—also Fifteen Li realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao glanced up, having already noticed this bear demon’s aura was strongest—but compared to a Spirit Traveling realm in his eyes…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference was negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! His primordial spirit energy enveloped the blade, instantly cleaving the fire dragon, then striking the giant bear’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the bear’s skull was extraordinarily hard—the blade sank only half a foot before jamming, unable to advance further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao stepped forward, his figure teleporting instantly before the pained bear. In its widening, terrified eyes, he raised his fist and smashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power exceeding tens of millions of jin condensed into his fist—its destructive force far surpassed tens of millions of jin, amplified further by his object-controlling force. The entire giant bear’s body slammed violently into the rock behind it, shattering the stone, flying backward over ten meters, and crashing into its own cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spurted from its throat. The bear, terrified beyond measure, had been born with divine strength, claiming itself the Great Strength True God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the power this boy unleashed filled even it with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such a tiny flesh-and-blood body possess such brutal strength?! Li Hao merely glanced at the bear, then raised his hand—the Demon-Slaying Blade, lodged in the bear’s skull, was yanked free. His gaze swept the surroundings, and the blade became a streak of dark light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattered primordial spirits, still within a few li, hadn’t vanished before the blade caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure Demon-Slaying Blade couldn’t harm these spirits—but it carried Li Hao’s primordial spirit energy, enough to cleave them apart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams echoed from all directions; some never even formed, collapsing silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-terrifying mountain peak, where over twenty Great Demons had gathered, now held only the bear. The rest were either split open, slumped lifeless, or had their spirits scattered miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze brushed through the forest, carrying the thick stench of blood into the bear’s nostrils—it felt suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, the bear felt the stench of its own mountain peak was unbearable, making its stomach churn with nausea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terror so great it made it want to vomit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-you’re a Heavenly Master?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the boy walk slowly toward it, the bear’s fear was unmistakable—after just that single punch, it knew, even at Fifteen Li realm, it was no match for this boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap was unimaginable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It now suspected this boy was a Master who had reversed aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among the demons I just killed, was there a Tiger-Robed Immortal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao stopped before the bear, lifting his gaze slightly to the colossal demon still seated on the ground like a small building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear now understood—Tiger-Robed had provoked this terrifying boy, and the boy had come for vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tiger-Robed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seethed with resentment, thoughts racing. It gritted its teeth: “Tiger-Robed isn’t here. It’s in the north.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The north?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao raised an eyebrow, eyeing the bear suspiciously: “There are many demons beyond this mountain. Don’t lie to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear’s face twitched. “I swear I’m not lying. Tiger-Robed is from our Black Wind Mountain Range, but it’s clever and capable, so we sent it north.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why send it north?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We plan to ally with the north and capture Cangyu City. We sent it to assist.” The bear panted, hiding Chi Mei Dao Ren’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More demons in the north? Li Hao froze. The Demon-Suppressing Office’s intelligence recorded nothing about the north—it had always been calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many demons are in the north?” Li Hao asked immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About the same as here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why attack Cangyu City? Do you know what happens when you defy Great Yu?” Li Hao snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear internally sneered—why do your demon-slayers kill demons? Aren’t you just picking the softest targets? Who knew Cangyu City had a monster like this boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it couldn’t say that aloud. Instead, it wore a look of helpless coercion: “We’re demons, but we only seek to fill our bellies—just like your humans eat livestock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s eyes turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of eating, his killing intent surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just to eat?” Li Hao suppressed his killing intent, staring at the bear, probing for information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear felt Li Hao’s killing intent and trembled, trying to mimic human logic—when weak, argue morality:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All things in the world exist to survive. We do, and so do you humans. Isn’t that right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who cares about right or wrong? I only ask: is attacking Cangyu City just for food?” Li Hao growled, suppressing his rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack on Cangyu City was led by Chi Mei Dao Ren. The bear had heard other reasons, but it wouldn’t tell Li Hao now—how could it argue morality then? “If not for survival, we wouldn’t risk such deeds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear now seemed transformed into a Confucian scholar, continuing its moral discourse with Li Hao: “Heaven and Earth nurture all things; all have the right to survive, don’t they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao took a deep breath and asked again: “What does Tiger-Robed look like? Is it a tiger demon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear paused, clearly realizing the human hadn’t listened to its reasoning—it grew uneasy. “Yes, Tiger-Robed is a tiger demon, cultivated for nearly a thousand years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gotten what he wanted, Li Hao nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the bear could react, he leapt suddenly, driving his fist into the bear’s forehead—his power pierced through, shattering its brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear opened its mouth slightly, eyes wide with shock and disbelief, then slowly dimmed. It collapsed with a thud like a falling boulder, slumping sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discussing right and wrong with demons? Li Hao had no patience for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, compared to right and wrong, one’s own stance matters far more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the countless white bones and skulls around him, how could he possibly say to the bear: “Yes, you’re right”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who cares if you’re right or wrong—I’m human!!
