Qiao Mu was still immersed in an excited mood, but he hadn’t noticed that Yuhua and Yu Hong’s expressions had drastically changed.

"Damn it, you’re not Qiao Mu!"

"Damn it, what on earth are you!"

Bang!

Yu Hong’s eyes burned with furious flames as he slammed the table fiercely, and his inner qi began to circulate wildly.

In an instant, a terrifying aura burst forth from Yu Hong’s body.

Inside the room, a strong wind rose, causing even the heavy tables, chairs, and the door to start shaking slightly.

Standing at the doorway, Yuhua took the opportunity to close the door and quickly drew the large blade strapped to his back.

The next moment, the large blade in Yuhua’s hand began to emit a scorching white vapor, giving off a sizzling heat.

As a Martial Artist who had mastered the Blood Refining Realm, Yuhua’s vigor suddenly exploded at that moment.

This sudden change caused Qiao Mu, who had just been speaking, to have his expression gradually turn stiff, revealing a bizarre smile.

"Hehehe!"

"You damn Profound Bird Guards, you always make me sick as usual."

"However, it’s surprising that my minions would be detected by such a little ant like you."

As Qiao Mu’s words just fell, black smoke as dark as ink emanated from his eyes, and his face began to split apart.

When the black smoke was exposed to the air, a terrifying chill surged forward, causing Yu Hong’s face to tense up and lose composure instantly.

"What a powerful demonic aura!"

"Could this demonic aura belong to the Demon King from the Hulao Mountain Range?"

Swish!

At the critical moment, Yuhua and Yu Hong, as if sharing a tacit understanding, swung their blades at Qiao Mu without a word.

Yu Hong’s inner qi rushed at high speed into the blade in his hand, slicing horizontally towards Qiao Mu’s head.

Meanwhile, the blade in Yuhua’s hand slashed fiercely towards Qiao Mu’s waist, as if aiming to cut Qiao Mu in half.

Bang!

After two muffled sounds, the top half of the grotesque Qiao Mu fell to the ground.

A round object also tumbled from the severed top half of Qiao Mu, rolling to the corner of the room’s wall.

However, the lower half of Qiao Mu’s body still stood motionless in place.

"Dead?"

Suppressing the inner fear, Yuhua warily looked at the lower half of Qiao Mu’s body.

Just after Yuhua finished speaking, the room suddenly filled with an invisible, chilling aura.

"Damn humans!"

In that instant, the scattered body of Qiao Mu exploded.

The next moment, a dense black demonic aura surged within the room, forming a phantom ferocious tiger head in mid-air.

The instant the phantom ferocious tiger head appeared, it opened its massive mouth, lunging towards Yu Hong!

Seeing this, Yuhua’s body swayed, and the blade in his hand emitted a rising white vapor as he cleaved vertically towards the phantom tiger head.

"Watch out, Lord Deputy!"

The black tiger head phantom shattered all obstacles, sending Yuhua flying.

Until Yuhua’s body crashed through the inn wall, landing heavily on the street outside.

Meanwhile, Yu Hong, who bore the brunt of the attack, saw countless wounds appear on his body, red blood seeping throughout him.

Yu Hong’s pupils dilated, and his inner qi was released without reservation at that moment.

He swung the blade in his right hand forcefully, attempting to fend off the horrifying phantom tiger head.

Boom!

The collision between the two generated a massive shock wave.

At this time, the entire inn began to shake precariously, transforming into countless fragments in just a few breaths.

"Huh?"

"To think that damn human escaped from it."

In mid-air, the black tiger head phantom cast a vicious glance at the inn’s ruins.

It could still vividly sense that the Profound Bird Guard it loathed was miraculously clinging onto life.

However, the black tiger head phantom could only unwillingly take a glance before slowly dissipating from the world.

The sudden dramatic change at the inn led passersby to believe it was a natural disaster, an upheaval of the earth dragon, prompting most to crawl and scramble away to a distant refuge.

Amid the onlookers, Yuhua, who was buried in the ground, suddenly flipped over.

After witnessing the inn fallen into ruins,

his heart tightened, disregarding his internal injuries, once again unleashing his powerful vigor.

Yuhua easily used his hands to clear away the inn’s ruins, as massive as a small mountain.

In just less than a dozen breaths, the entire inn ruins appeared as if overturned by Yuhua.

All the people crushed under the fragments of wood were exposed to the air.

Yuhua was not interested in looking at others at this moment; instead, he walked toward a person stained scarlet by blood.

That person was Mr. Yu Hong!

"Mr. Yu Hong, are you alright?"

While speaking, Yuhua’s hands didn’t pause as he frantically searched himself.

Until Yuhua pulled out a small wooden box from his bosom, inside was a pill as white as jade.

This was a special Healing Elixir of the Profound Bird Guard, a healing sacred remedy several times more potent than Profound Yuan Root Liquid.

Without any hesitation, Yuhua took the white pill and administered it to Yu Hong.

Shortly after the white pill was ingested, Yu Hong’s originally tightly closed eyes instantly opened.

Yu Hong, feeling the injuries on his body, didn’t hesitate. Despite the severe pain, he grabbed Yuhua’s wrist and spoke loudly.

"Quick, quickly find Black Profound Bird."

"Inform Master Xuan Shi!"

Upon seeing Mr. Yu Hong regain consciousness, Yuhua finally let his anxious heart settle.

"Mr. Yu Hong, the Black Profound Bird is over there, it’s been kept in a cage and hasn’t suffered any damage."

"This subordinate will go release Black Profound Bird and inform Master Xuan Shi now!"

After Yuhua departed, Yu Hong’s face turned pale, without a hint of blood color.

Yu Hong slightly raised his right hand, gently wiping across his chest.

The Profound Bird Guard uniform he wore had been destroyed by that terrifying force just now.

Beneath the torn uniform, a light cyan protective armor was revealed.

The light cyan armor glimmered splendidly under the bright sunlight, reflecting a dazzling radiance.

Profound Cyan Armor!

This armor was exclusively for Master Xuan Shi in the Profound Bird Guard, capable of withstanding a strike from an external Grandmaster.

When accepting the mission, Li Chengfeng gave this Profound Cyan Armor to Yu Hong for protection in case of emergency!

"That old Li again, I owe him another favor."

Yu Hong whispered with lingering fear.

If not for this Profound Cyan Armor, he would likely have been shattered to pieces, leaving nothing but white bone ash.

But even with the Profound Cyan Armor, Yu Hong had still suffered unprecedented injuries.

A large part of his internal meridians and flesh had been damaged by that terrible force.

Now, Yu Hong could barely use his weak Inner Qi to gradually nourish the injuries on his body!

"Is this that Tiger Demon King from back then?"

"The slightest trace of demonic force on the demon sent him to the edge of death!"

"It seems that Master Xuan Shi must alert the Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard."

"Only Lord Di Shi can possibly handle this Tiger Demon King."

......

White Dao Prefecture City, Profound Bird Guard Mansion!

At the moment, He Yan was sweating all over, pacing restlessly outside a courtyard.

"What to do."

"Why is Master Xuan Shi still in seclusion, it’s been three or four days."

"That Tiger Demon King in Quicksand County, wasn’t dead!"

"Old Yv, I don’t even know how much longer he can hold out."

He Yan steeled himself, making a firm decision, and walked towards the unremarkable courtyard gate.

"No matter what, if it costs my life, so be it!"

He Yan circulated Inner Qi in his palms, forcefully slapped the courtyard gate.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the locked gate instantly swung open.

As the gate swung open, He Yan shouted desperately.

"Master Xuan Shi, save us!"

He Yan’s shout reverberated throughout the entire courtyard.

Inside the main room, sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lu Xuan gradually opened his eyes.

In an instant, Lu Xuan’s surroundings glowed a mysterious purple light, strands of profound purple light extending outward.

Subsequently, a several-meter-tall purple silhouette appeared before He Yan.

That silhouette was Lu Xuan’s likeness!
