Changfeng Mountain stood majestically, its peaks carved as if by blade or ax, the jagged cliffs shimmered in the sunlight with a cold, iron-like azure tint.

An eagle skimmed over a solitary pine, its wings slicing through the clouds, shaking off a feather that slowly drifted towards the mist swirling in the valley.

Qin An paused at the mountain's base, the cold wind blowing against him, his eyes sharp as electricity, he whispered, "Indeed, a fitting place for a burial."

This place was far from Lingzhou, seldom visited by people, not even a proper path existed, only a rugged, hard-to-tread mountain trail.

"Clang!"

Qin An drew the Cold Star Saber at his waist, gripping it in a reverse hold, without a word of nonsense, he stepped onto the mountain path.

This journey was solely to take the head of the Monkey Elder, everything else was superfluous.

Thin mist lingered, Qin An's figure quickly vanished into the depths of the fog.

...

At the mountain's peak, the wild wind howled.

Before an archaic looking desk, the Monkey Elder held a leg bone, gnawing on it with relish.

Opposite him sat a refined-looking middle-aged man, seven feet tall, with razor-sharp antlers atop his head.

Yet at this moment, this refined man held a woman's corpse in his hands, his lips pressed tight against the wound on her neck, greedily sucking the blood.

After half an incense stick's time, the woman's corpse gradually shriveled, finally transforming into a dried corpse, Mr. Lu tossed it aside casually.

Mr. Lu wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, a bloodthirsty glimmer flashing in his eyes: "Not enough, still not enough! The blood of such mundane women can't suppress the burning deer blood within me!"

The Monkey Elder put down the leg bone, revealing a sinister smile: "If you kill Qin An, I'll bring you as much blood as you desire."

In Changfeng Mountain, there was a solitary beast of the Pulse Condensation Realm, it was Mr. Lu, who cultivated the Pure Yang Skill.

Deer blood, being extremely Yang and fierce, combined with the cultivation technique spurred his Qi and blood to become more violent.

Only by drinking women's blood daily could it be suppressed, otherwise, his bloodline would reverse, causing him to explode and die.

Lone monsters are not good at searching, after getting in touch with Mr. Lu, the Monkey Elder dispatched little demons to deliver them daily.

Over time, developed a deep connection with Mr. Lu.

This time, to kill Qin An, the Monkey Elder invited Mr. Lu using their bond, and Mr. Lu naturally agreed.

Mr. Lu exhaled a stream of blazing air, instantly igniting the withered grass in front: "In the future, bring me two every day!"

The Monkey Elder nodded, his fangs shimmering coldly: "If you kill Qin An, three won't be a problem, but is this place truly secure? If the Gold Guards on mountain patrol come, won't we be walking into a trap?"

Mr. Lu sneered: "My foothold in Lingzhou isn't just because of my Pure Yang Blood, but also my ability to control vegetation, every blade and leaf on Changfeng Mountain is my witness, if a Gold Guard approaches, I will know immediately."

Upon hearing this, the Monkey Elder breathed a sigh of relief, feeling slightly reassured.

The reason he valued Mr. Lu was precisely for his skill in controlling vegetation.

With this method, he dared to be so brazen, exterminating an entire village.

Mr. Lu smacked his lips: "To deal with a mere Gui Cang Realm junior requires two Pulse Condensation experts to join forces, you're giving him too much credit."

He thought the Monkey Elder was getting on in years, the older one gets, the more they fear.

A mere Gui Cang Realm Silver Guard on mountain patrol, yet you needed to join forces with me using bonds, if word got out, it would be a laughingstock.

The Monkey Elder shook his head: "He is different, as long as we can kill him, giving up some bonds is nothing."

The Hall Master has lost patience with him, only by Qin An's death can his position be saved.

Mr. Lu was about to say something more when his expression suddenly changed: "He's here!"

Then, Mr. Lu waved a hand, the space ahead suddenly twisted.

In the dense forest, countless roots broke through the soil, weaving into a net in mid-air.

Above the tree roots, a phantom appeared.

Inside the phantom was a mountain path, at this moment, Qin An's figure appeared on the path, rushing forward at high speed.

Upon seeing Qin An, the Monkey Elder's eyes flickered with fierce killing intent: "Indeed, it's him!"

Mr. Lu frowned slightly: "No! He's not at the Gui Cang Realm, but the Pulse Condensation Realm!"

The entire Changfeng Mountain was his eyes and ears, Mr. Lu could easily discern Qin An's foundation.

The Monkey Elder was slightly taken aback, clenching his fist with his one arm, gritting his teeth: "In just a few months, from Hidden Breathing to Pulse Condensation, if this kid is not eliminated, the demons in Lingzhou are doomed!"

Mr. Lu rubbed his chin: "Monkey brother, if it's really as you say, this person has many secret techniques, it won't be easy."

It was initially thought to be as easy as crushing an ant, but unexpectedly, the opponent had also stepped into the Pulse Condensation Realm.

Combined with those strange methods, Mr. Lu inevitably felt some dread in his heart.

The Monkey Elder shook his head: "No problem! With Mr. Lu's Pure Yang Blood restraining his Blood Burning Secret Skill, the two of us can easily take his life!"

"Oh?" Mr. Lu became interested: "What do you mean by that?"

The Monkey Elder sneered: "His fist technique requires burning Qi and blood, and Mr. Lu's Pure Yang Blood is precisely the nemesis of the Blood Burning Secret Skill, with you here, his killing moves are rendered useless."

Mr. Lu appeared suddenly enlightened: "If that's the case, I was overthinking it."

Pure Yang Blood holds a supreme position among blood, under the shroud of Pure Yang Blood, all Blood Burning Secret Skills will be rendered useless.

"You are indeed thoughtful, monkey brother." Mr. Lu stomped on the female corpse: "Since that's the case, let's take this brat's head."

The two wasted no more time, turning into two afterimages, disappearing from the mountain peak.

...

The mountain path was rugged, but for Qin An, who had already reached the Pulse Condensation Realm, it felt as if he was in an uninhabited region.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, and the sunlight was just right.

Qin An's eyes were like blades, transforming into afterimages, swiftly traversing the mountain trail.

Suddenly, a cold wind accompanied the breeze, sweeping towards Qin An.

Qin An abruptly halted, the Cold Star Saber raised across his chest.

In the depths of the dense forest, a harsh wind noise emerged, a tree thick enough for several people to encircle was hurtling towards Qin An.

Qin An lifted the Cold Star, calmly slashing forward.

An icy gleam flashed, the power of ice and fire intertwined on the blade, the tree was sliced in two by Qin An.

Qin An ran a hand along the Cold Star Saber's blade, his voice as frosty as ice: "Since I've come, stop these useless and intimidating tricks."

This is the site where Elder Monkey arranged the duel; any anomalies are naturally related to him.

Before the voice fell, two figures, carrying the pressure of the Pulse Condensation Realm, stepped out slowly from the depths of the dense forest.

Qin An squinted his eyes: "You do hold me in high regard, actually sending two Pulse Condensation Realm monsters."

Elder Monkey and Mr. Lu came together, blocking the way ahead completely.

Elder Monkey stuck out his bloody tongue, licking his protruding fangs, and said grimly: "Little beast, quite bold to come here alone."

Qin An raised an eyebrow and said: "Why would I need a second person to kill you?"

Elder Monkey flipped his wrist, producing a folding fan in his palm, with landscape painting revolving on its surface, faintly glowing: "Facing death, you still dare to be stubborn!"

Qin An glanced at that folding fan, suddenly finding it familiar.

After thinking for a while, he remembered meeting a Young Master Hou in Ding County who, like Elder Monkey, used a folding fan like a scholar.

"You pack of wild monkeys..." Qin An shook his head and laughed contemptuously: "Really love to mimic others, yet what you learn is laughably unconvincing."

Elder Monkey was slightly stunned at the words, then realized Qin An was mocking his scholar-like way of holding the fan, making him deeply enraged.

At this moment, Mr. Lu suddenly spoke: "Are the Evil Extermination Bureau's patrolling silver guards all talkative like you, yet empty-handed?"

Qin An then turned his gaze to Mr. Lu, staring at those antlers, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "A stag? Quite a tonic indeed."

Mr. Lu's eyes narrowed: "Bold boy!"

Of course, he knew what Qin An meant; mentioning "tonic", only one thing on his body could achieve that.

At this moment, both sides were mortal foes, and the situation had long been one of life and death, what was said earlier was just some appetizers before the battle.

No more words were wasted from either side, killing intent exploded instantly!

Elder Monkey, already furious, unfolded the folding fan, the spiritual glow in the landscape exploded, his figure ghostly as he attacked Qin An.

"Boy, today your head will belong to this elder."

Hearing the strong wind, Qin An raised his hand to deliver a punch.

The power of the Blood-Burning Dragon Demon Hand fully erupted in Qin An's left fist, colliding with Elder Monkey's folding fan.

"Boom!"

A violent rumble sounded.

Qin An's body was forced back, dragging a ten-zhang-long mark on the ground, even the trees behind him were shattered into countless fragments.

Elder Monkey turned lightly, landing steadily, opened the folding fan with a snap, gently waved it, and sneered: "Just entering Pulse Condensation and daring to come alone, truly courting death, you little bastard, realizing something's wrong yet?"

Qin An stood straight up, eyes slightly narrowed: "Can't burn blood and Qi?"

Elder Monkey laughed heartily, pointing at Mr. Lu beside him: "Mr. Lu possesses Pure Yang blood; any Blood Burning Secret Skill is useless in his presence. Without it, you're just a waste!"

Qin An slightly clenched his left hand: "Pure Yang blood, that's quite a tonic indeed."

Mr. Lu, originally feeling proud from Elder Monkey's praise, suddenly felt Qin An's words hit like a heavy hammer, making his face turn cold.

"Arrogant! If you want my blood so much, I'll first take yours!"

Elder Monkey once again turned into a shadow, rapidly charging toward Qin An, loudly shouting: "Mr. Lu, he's at his last gasp, quickly take his life!"

Mr. Lu no longer held back, flames igniting on his antlers, rushing towards Qin An from another angle, intending to pierce Qin An through with his antlers.

From earlier exchanges between Qin An and Elder Monkey, Mr. Lu noticed Qin An's Cultivation Technique was only at Gui Cang Realm; even with the Blood Burning Secret Skill, it was restrained by him.

Capturing Qin An was only a matter of time.

Elder Monkey had the same thought.

Even if Qin An had the opportunity to advance to Pulse Condensation Realm, his other Cultivation Techniques were all Gui Cang, how could he compare with them, the old hands of Pulse Condensation?

It amounted to relying solely on that Blood Burning Secret Skill.

Without it, he was a bird in a cage, easily grasped.

As for whether Qin An knew Pulse Condensation Realm cultivation techniques, Elder Monkey thought it was a joke.

If acquiring Pulse Condensation Realm Heart Method and cultivation techniques were so swift, Qin An would have already been renowned in Lingzhou, why wait until today?

Both sides' attacks were as fast as lightning.

On Qin An's left was Elder Monkey's fan, on the right were Mr. Lu's antlers.

Without any hesitation, he used Dragon Roar Wind Shadow Step, charging toward Mr. Lu.

With this move, Qin An created distance from Elder Monkey while rapidly closing in on Mr. Lu.

Elder Monkey and Mr. Lu both sneered coldly in their hearts at the sight.

They understood Qin An's intention, he was merely trying to break through Mr. Lu first, thereby lifting the suppression of Mr. Lu's Pure Yang blood, and then turning back to use Blood Burning Secret Skill against Elder Monkey.

Mr. Lu sneered coldly: "You little thing, you seem to forget, without the Blood Burning Secret Skill, you can't take me down at all!"

The Pure Yang Power on the antlers grew more intense, as if capable of incinerating everything.

Even a lion, fighting a rabbit, must exert full strength.

Mr. Lu wouldn't let this opportunity slip, and was giving it his all.

Behind, Elder Monkey's speed increased a bit, fierce light flickering in his eyes.

As soon as Qin An engaged with Elder Monkey, he could crush Qin An's head with the fan.

At that time, bringing Qin An's body back to the demon hall, he would once again be a high-profile elder!

At this moment, three Pulse Condensation Realm masters struck, and even time seemed to slow down.

Just then, Elder Monkey suddenly sensed something unusual.

In front of him, Qin An didn't throw a punch as expected, but wielded a straight blade from above, slashing down toward Mr. Lu's head.

"Is he insane?" Elder Monkey felt a sense of doubt.

Even the strongest fist couldn't break Mr. Lu's defense; how could a straight blade behead Mr. Lu?

That area was the toughest part refined by Mr. Lu, especially those two antlers.

Elder Monkey couldn't understand, but what happened next shattered his doubts.

The straight blade was suffused with three-colored True Qi, bearing the force of water and fire, combined with the attack of metal.

With Three Blades Unite, the sound of cutting through flesh was heard.
