You Qingyi, Bi Yaoyao, and Hu Jiawei stared blankly as Lou Yi killed the Tiger Demon, their minds blank, unable to react for a while.

When they finally came to their senses, their faces showed unanimous delight.

They survived, survived the onslaught of so many demons!

You Qingyi even rushed towards Lou Yi uncontrollably.

But when she looked behind Lou Yi, her expression changed dramatically!

"Lou Yi... be careful!"

Her warning hadn't reached Lou Yi's ears yet.

Behind him, a blood shadow in human form suddenly appeared without a sound, gathered from countless grievances and filth, and was about to viciously envelop Lou Yi's head from behind!

Judging by the method, it was clearly the strongest protector among the Evil Cultivators.

He hadn't died in the fight just now, nor had he fled.

Instead, he hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity, and launched a despicable stealth attack on Lou Yi!

"Die for me!"

The protector from the Evil Cultivator organization looked fervently at his blood shadow.

It would soon envelop the unsuspecting Lou Yi, consuming this powerful Martial Artist completely!

If he could devour this Martial Artist.

His blood shadow would surely soar to an unprecedented level, and he might even find the opportunity to advance to Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, if he were to kill him.

The remaining disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect, dead or injured, would be of no concern, mere meals in waiting.

Capturing the disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect meant acquiring the Pure Yang Tribulation Pearl, and with the master's reward...

The protector grew more and more excited, feeling like he was a man of great fortune, about to soar today!

And just as he was dreaming of the future.

He saw that extraordinarily powerful Martial Artist suddenly twist his neck 180 degrees, looking at the approaching blood shadow expressionlessly.

"Been waiting for you."

The young Martial Artist suddenly opened his mouth, a red starlight began to glow within.

Growing larger and brighter, it was as if a radiant sun was held within his mouth.

'Boom!'

The next moment, the sun turned into a red beam as thick as an arm, effortlessly piercing through the blood shadow released by the Evil Cultivator's protector.

Then, with 'boom boom boom,' it shot down dozens of large trees visible to the naked eye, flying towards an unknown far distance.

The blood shadow, after being pierced by the beam, turned to ashes within seconds.

'Puff!'

The protector spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

"Not good!"

Seeing Lou Yi's figure disappear from afar, spiritual power surged through him, intending to use the Wind Walking Technique to escape.

But suddenly he felt a chill on his neck, like a helpless kitten, he was effortlessly lifted by a hand.

"Fellow Daoist, spare me."

The Evil Cultivator felt bitter, not daring to move.

Being held by someone who could easily kill top-tier monsters, escaping or resisting was out of the question.

Otherwise, the outcome would be as grim as having his head separated from his body.

He could only hope that the other party would be merciful and spare his life.

"You are truly cunning," Lou Yi remarked, shaking his head in amazement.

If not for the Martial Artist's strong spiritual sense, constantly alerting him to hidden dangers, forcing him to stay cautious.

He might have fallen victim to this person's attack.

Thinking of this, Lou Yi pointed towards the Evil Cultivator protector's Middle Dantian.

A powerful force surged in, destroying his Middle Dantian and even the nearby meridians.

Blood seeped from the Evil Cultivator's seven orifices, his gaze filled with spite as he glared at Lou Yi.

For a cultivator, cultivation is life, crippling his cultivation is almost as good as killing him.

Lou Yi casually tossed the crippled Evil Cultivator to the ground and walked briskly towards You Qingyi and the others.

"Lou Yi!" You Qingyi rushed towards him.

Initially wanting to leap into his arms, but considering the presence of others, she merely clutched tightly onto Lou Yi's right arm, her eyes moist.

"Impressive, truly impressive. Junior Brother Lou, I owe you my life from now on." Hu Jiawei looked at him with admiration.

"I hope Senior Brother can keep this secret for me; after all, I'm just at the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation." Lou Yi thought for a moment and made this request.

"Alright."

Hu Jiawei was stunned, then slowly nodded.

Given that Hu Jiawei hadn't abandoned his junior brothers and sisters to escape, actively fighting the Tiger Demon, Lou Yi had some confidence in his promise.

People come in many varieties, not everyone is as shameless as Du Xing was before.

"You too." Lou Yi said to Bi Yaoyao, who was smiling mischievously beside him.

"Who doesn't believe whom?" Bi Yaoyao pouted her rosy lips in dissatisfaction, seemingly so annoyed by Lou Yi that her chest began to heave, a rather spectacular sight.

Then, Lou Yi looked at the unconscious Han Taomeng lying on the ground, relieved to find that his breathing was stable.

It was a pity for the Inner Sect Disciple, Su Yong, who became the only casualty in this chaotic battle between humans, demons, and Evil Cultivators at Yinfeng Mountain.

Overall, this trip to Yinfeng Mountain was a success.

Lou Yi looked at the other demons fleeing in all directions, and with a 'whoosh,' he disappeared from the spot.

He managed to slay seven or eight more demons as much as possible.

He could pursue and kill a few more, but the cost was too high, unnecessary.

Hu Jiawei and the others began feeding Han Taomeng healing elixirs.

Lou Yi then turned his attention to the corpses scattered before him.

The translucent notifications on his Attribute Panel were piled up so much they became indistinguishable.

'Ah, the woes of happiness.'

Lou Yi began to continuously open these notifications.

'Discovered collectible items, please choose one of the two options:

Energy: 25 points

Yin Affinity: Slightly Increase

Would you like to choose?

'

Most of the weaker demons offered only two choices: Energy and Yin Affinity, and Lou Yi chose the latter without hesitation.

Even the Evil Cultivators he killed this time mainly belonged to the Yin element.

It seemed that Yin Practitioners were more suited to the path of the Evil Cultivator.

A small portion of the stronger demons and cultivators offered three options.

Besides Energy and Yin Affinity, there were also some useless talents or skills such as 'Chewing,' 'Biting,' 'Foul Smell,' 'Dust Cleaning Technique,' 'Light Technique,' etc.

Two useful skills were selected:

[Wind Walking Technique]: Controls surrounding airflow to speed up oneself or slow down enemies.

[Yin Wind Technique]: Corrosive Yin Wind that can erode bones and dissolve souls when cultivated to a high level.

Of course, the biggest gain was the Wind Affinity.

Today, Lou Yi's affinity improved over fifty times!

He felt a refreshing coolness in his brain, and his perception of Yin Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was significantly stronger than before!

After Lou Yi finished organizing his intangible gains, Han Taomeng finally woke up slowly under the healing of many.

"I... I actually survived?"

His face was pale, lips dry, with bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, his eyes shining with the exhilarating light of survival.

"We joined forces to kill the Tiger Demon." Hu Jiawei, perhaps unused to lying, said this a bit haltingly.

But Han Taomeng was so happy to be alive that he didn't mind the minor details at all.

"Let's tidy up the scene." Bi Yaoyao suggested.

By tidying up the scene, she meant searching the bodies.

There were more than a dozen Evil Cultivators dead on site.

Even though their possessions couldn't compare to those of Major Sect disciples, the accumulation was still quite substantial.

The final tally was as follows: Eight Evil Dao Magical Artifacts, nine bottles of Qi Absorption Pills, five bottles of unknown elixirs, over 26,000 silver taels, and twenty-six sheets of Yin Wind Talismans and other talismans.

"Junior Brother Lou ought to take half of these treasures for his significant contribution this time!" Hu Jiawei proposed immediately.
