Inside the cave, there was a continuous roar, and the entire cavern shook violently, as if a giant beast had trampled through.

Cracks spread like a spiderweb across the face of the Buddhist statue, stopping only at the chest.

The beautiful woman's sullen expression disappeared abruptly, replaced by an uncontrollable panic.

She hurriedly stood up, her slender jade hands pressing against the cracks in the statue, injecting pure True Qi like a trickling stream into the body of the statue.

Soon after, the cracks on the statue's body slowly repaired, and the woman's face became incomparably pale.

At this moment, a snow-white fox tail emerged from her voluptuous hips, its fur trembling lightly as the chilling Evil Qi surged upwards like ice.

The beautiful woman gently lifted her jade hips, slowly getting up, a flash of murder in her eyes.

At this moment, the statue's eyes suddenly opened, seemingly like a living creature, embracing her slender waist.

A dull yet alluring voice emanated from within the statue.

"The Evil Extermination Bureau has arrived…"

The woman's expression changed slightly, trembling as she leaned against the statue's chest: "Husband, allow me to kill them all, and use their flesh and blood to heal you."

The statue shook its head slightly: "Two people of the Vein Condensation Realm, one has reached the Great Success, the other is just beginning; it's not easy to handle."

The woman raised her watery eyes, her red lips wandering over the statue's neck, speaking in a muffled voice: "Though my husband is injured, dealing with someone of Great Success is not difficult."

"I am in the Small Success of the Vein Condensation Realm; killing the novice is as easy as flipping my hand. Once successful, we can find another place to settle."

The statue pondered slightly.

The woman said nothing, still resting on the statue's shoulder.

After a long while, the statue's voice changed from seductive to murderous: "The Hunter Conference is approaching, with not so many from the Evil Extermination Bureau to spare their Heart Power, it's possible to kill them all."

"At night, when my strength is at its peak, I'll slaughter them all!"

The woman nodded slightly: "In that case, why not seize this moment to indulge in our pleasures..."

With these words, the woman gently sat atop the statue.

The alluring sounds continued to echo within the cave…

…

Time passed swiftly, and nighttime arrived.

The gloomy daytime turned into an even more eerie night.

At the village entrance, Qin An stood with his saber, his eyes slightly closed.

Not far away, Zheng Yu led the Household Officers to patrol the village.

Zheng Yu noticed Qin An's posture, sneering: "Quite an imposing manner, but unfortunately, just a paper tiger."

The Household Officer, hearing this, flattered: "Compared to the Lord, this rustic boy is naturally inferior."

Zheng Yu nodded slightly, pleased with the flattery, then turned and said: "Spread the word, if a Pseudo-God attacks, don't assist him, let him fend for himself."

The Household Officer hesitated for a moment, wondering: "But if word of this gets back to the Evil Extermination Bureau, it will be difficult to explain."

Zheng Yu scoffed: "A matter like this isn't unfamiliar to Xunyang Prefecture, is it? The Prefecture General I've befriended has connections high and low; if this succeeds, our prospects are bright, and his life or death is just a minor accident in the mission."

The Household Officer listened silently, then quietly passed the word among the other Household Officers.

They were all Zheng Yu's subordinates, already in the same boat with him.

In fact, Zheng Yu had done many such things, even sending two newly appointed Bronze Prefecture Generals to their deaths.

Xunyang Prefecture is not as pure as Lingzhou; besides those purely dedicated to exterminating demons, there are more people like Zheng Yu, addicted to power.

When they first saw what Zheng Yu had done, they could not withdraw, forced to follow him down a dark path.

As they conversed, they were quite far from Qin An, so their voices didn't carry over.

Though Qin An's eyes were closed, he could feel Zheng Yu's gaze constantly sweeping over him.

He clearly understood that Zheng Yu's thoughts were not simple.

But he did not speak, as the time was not yet ripe.

"For anyone who opposes me, there is only one answer: eradicate the root." Qin An pressed his right palm against the Cold Star Saber's hilt, his heart cold as ice: "Having harbored murderous intent, they cannot be left alive, those who obstruct my path, all may be killed!"

His tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and Qin An glanced up into the distance.

The feeling of being watched became even more intense.

In the distant darkness, a thick mist began to spread.

Then, the entire village was shrouded in the dark mist.

In the midst of it, the Household Officers sensed the danger, drawing their weapons.

The villagers had already been gathered into a single area.

Though Zheng Yu didn't care for the villagers' lives, if more survived, it would be a merit for him, a stepping stone for his climb.

Therefore, no one sent the villagers to their deaths.

In the dark mist, crimson lights flickered suddenly.

Soon after, over a hundred broken statues emerged from the mist.

The overwhelming Evil Qi enveloped the broken statues.

The moment the broken statues appeared, without a word, battle erupted.

The broken statues transformed into shadows, pouncing toward the Household Officers of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

The Household Officers, though like Zheng Yu, opportunists, were no ordinary characters to achieve their positions at the Foreign Affairs Department.

After all, here in the larger Xunyang Prefecture compared to Lingzhou, without some abilities, they'd have turned to bones long ago.

The battle was imminent.

Numerous Household Officers, with the force of thunder, engaged the broken Buddhist statues.

The attacks between both sides were orderly, making it difficult to determine a victor temporarily.

Zheng Yu, holding an iron saber, suddenly felt foreboding, quickly dodging sideways.

Where he had just left, a giant hand broke through the mist, descending from above, crashing into the ground with a piercing roar.

The ground shattered with a loud sound, a deep handprint with charred edges left at the spot he had dodged.

After all, Zheng Yu was in the Great Success of the Vein Condensation Realm, without a word, swung his saber horizontally.

Next, a crisp sound exploded.

Having seen the true form of the figure, Zheng Yu's pupils contracted slightly: "Evil Domain Buddhist Statue, you aren't dead yet?"

The broken Buddhist statue pressed its palms together, its eyes filled with sinister evil, coldly laughing: "Without killing all the Evil Extermination Bureau's people, can I rest in peace?"

Zheng Yu's face was filled with delight: "When our Bureau exterminated your faction, you were seriously injured; encountering you here today, capturing you would bring even greater merits! Today, I'm destined for great achievements!"

The Evil Domain Buddhist Statue sneered: "Who wins, who loses, can you decide?"

As the words fell, the Evil Domain Buddhist Statue stepped forward again, its palms overwhelming everything, pressing down on Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu let out a furious shout, gripping the iron saber, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Evil Domain Buddha statue.

Qin An stood with his saber poised, he did not advance.

Suddenly, he heard a song in his ear that made his entire body feel feverishly hot.

He turned to look and found the villagers behind him had already fallen into a coma due to the song.

A figure emerged from the black mist, accompanied by a soft and captivating voice gradually resonating.

"My husband likes to eat living things, so leave some alive for him, you seem like a new face; could it be you're the new copper prefecture general from the Evil Extermination Bureau?"

Qin An lifted his gaze, scanning her, his eyes cold: "I've killed quite a few fox demons, how do you compare to the fox demons of Lingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's soft voice suddenly erupted with murderous intent: "So, you're the copper prefecture general promoted from that remote area, well then today you shall meet your end here!"

Before the words fell, the beautiful woman's jade-like hips swayed lightly, the white fox tail exuded fragrant waves, sweeping towards Qin An.

Qin An's eyes narrowed, over a foot of Gang Qi rose from all over his body.

As soon as the Gang Qi appeared, Qin An noticed the beautiful woman's figure flashed, and she had already arrived in front of him.

"Just a mere copper prefecture general at the beginner level, and you dare to take on such a task? Your head... I'll have it!"

The beautiful woman's claws suddenly expanded, aiming mercilessly at Qin An's head.

If those claws pressed down, it would create ten bloody holes.

But as the claws fell on Qin An's Gang Qi, they broke through only two layers, and could advance no further.

The beautiful woman's face suddenly changed, a trace of unease arose: "This is a protective cultivation technique of the Pulse Condensation Realm, you are renowned for your defense?"

Qin An's eyes lifted, piercing like lightning.

Cold Star Saber cleaved from bottom to top, the blade flashed with a chilling brilliance that could shake one's mind.

"Defense? No, they call me a master of both punch and saber."

A spurt of blood scattered across the sky, the beautiful woman suddenly felt a sensation of intense pain on her shoulder.

Immediately thereafter, she realized her left arm had been severed by Qin An.

The beautiful woman hurriedly retreated, panic flashed in her eyes, and she used her remaining right arm to lightly tap her shoulder, stopping the flow of blood.

"You're definitely not at the beginner level of the Pulse Condensation Realm!"

According to her plan with the Evil Domain Buddha statue, her strength at the small success of the Pulse Condensation Realm should have been more than enough to take down Qin An steadily.

Yet with that saber strike, she felt that Qin An's strength was not merely at the beginner level.

Qin An took a leisurely step forward, transforming into a shadow and arriving in front of the beautiful woman, his left hand raised like lightning.

Blood-Burning Eight-Forged Dragon Demon Hand!

His palm pressed against the beautiful woman's neck.

The grappling ability of this cultivation technique was employed by Qin An as three-colored True Qi spread throughout the beautiful woman's entire body.

Then, Qin An's right hand thrust the saber horizontally, easily piercing the beautiful woman's chest and abdomen.

Qin An spoke softly: "I am at the beginner level, but it is the beginner level formed by the crystallization of eight Earth veins, which seems not to be just the beginner level."

"Eight Earth vein crystals?" The beautiful woman's eyes widened, feeling intense pain surging through her.

Before she could react, three-colored True Qi had already destroyed all of her internal organs.

Qin An withdrew Cold Star Saber, and like tossing trash, he threw the beautiful woman's corpse to the ground, then tucked the demon crystal into his embrace.

Blood dripped along the blade of Cold Star, and after the beautiful woman convulsed on the ground for a while, she reverted to her original form as a white fox demon.

At this moment, both the Evil Domain Buddha statue and Zheng Yu were observing the situation over at Qin An's side during the battle.

When Qin An took down the beautiful woman with a single saber strike, Zheng Yu was greatly shocked.

He never anticipated Qin An's strength to be so formidable.

The beautiful woman at the small success of the Pulse Condensation Realm couldn't withstand a few moves from him.

However, the Evil Domain Buddha statue's reaction was entirely different.

At this moment, deep anger emanated from the Evil Domain Buddha statue.

"Child of sin! Dare to kill my wife!"

The Evil Domain Buddha statue swung its palms in succession, forcing Zheng Yu back, preparing to attack Qin An with its double palms.

Zheng Yu originally intended to step forward with the iron saber to obstruct the Evil Domain Buddha statue, but after advancing a few steps, he suddenly slowed his pace, a hint of a cunning plot flickering in his eyes.

Since the Evil Domain Buddha statue wishes to attack Qin An, let it be.

After all, Zheng Yu also wants Qin An dead, so he might as well use the situation to his advantage.

No matter how Qin An could destroy the beautiful woman with a single saber, what of it?

After all, she was only at the small success of the Pulse Condensation Realm.

But the Evil Domain Buddha statue is at the great success of the Pulse Condensation Realm, killing Qin An is as effortless as blowing off dust.

Once the Evil Domain Buddha statue eliminates Qin An, he can then vanquish the Evil Domain Buddha statue, and everything will naturally fall into place.

The household officer was still caught in battle with a group of damaged statues, unable to determine a winner for the moment.

Seeing the Evil Domain Buddha statue charging forward, and Zheng Yu feigning inability to catch up, Qin An's lips curled slightly upward.

He stood poised with the saber, a flicker of hidden murderous intent in his eyes.

"Since you both seek death to such an extent, then I'll kill you together."

Cold Star Saber shot out from Qin An's right hand.

A chilling gleam flashed, directly targeting the Evil Domain Buddha statue's throat.

Three Blades Unite!

The terrifying three-colored True Qi permeated the blade of Cold Star, murder intent blossoming upon Cold Star.

The Evil Domain Buddha statue's heart was startled, he quickly halted his steps and rapidly retreated.

He sensed a life-and-death crisis.

The saber momentum of Qin An's strike was not merely as simple as it appeared.

When Qin An saw the Evil Domain Buddha statue retreating, he performed the Dragon Roar Wind Shadow Step, closely pursuing the Evil Domain Buddha statue.

Cold Star's momentum did not abate, like a venomous snake, continuing to aim at the Evil Domain Buddha statue's throat.

At this time, the Evil Domain Buddha statue had reached not far from Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu saw this, a murderous intent flashed under his eyes, he held the iron saber pretending to assist Qin An, but in reality, he used the iron saber to block Qin An's saber momentum changes.

The Evil Domain Buddha statue froze.

He couldn't understand why these two copper prefecture generals would act this way.

But at the moment of his bewilderment, Qin An used his form as a shield, changing the saber momentum, Cold Star like a rainbow, directly piercing Zheng Yu's heart...
