Outside the Jiao Long Hall, the clouds were as dark as ink, rolling and surging.

The originally clear sky was instantly devoured by thick black clouds, pressing down menacingly, as if it was about to crush everything in the world into dust.

Ten Jin Mansion Generals stood solemnly like statues, leading numerous Prefecture Generals, surrounding the Jiao Long Hall in an impenetrable formation.

Qin An released his right hand, dispersing the array power flowing at his fingertips, and clenched the hilt of his blade.

Their ability to easily locate the Jiao Long Hall was due not only to Jiao Yue's intelligence, but more so thanks to Qin An's mastery of array techniques.

Without Qin An's array assistance, they estimated it would have taken much more effort.

Many Jin Mansion Generals shifted their gaze away from Qin An, a contemplative look flashing in their eyes.

Tang Zizhen raised an eyebrow slightly, her surprise fleeting, returning to her cold, icy expression.

Zhou Yuanfeng sighed softly, "Had he specialized in one path, he might have already reached the pinnacle, what a pity."

Qin An remained silent upon hearing this, his gaze directed towards the towering Jiao Long Hall.

Suddenly, the Evil Qi surged, figures appearing, forming an array on the open ground before the hall.

In the center of the clearing stood the Dragon King, with nine Dragon Commanders flanking both sides.

Behind them were a dense mass of Dragon Generals and demonic creatures, their fierce evil aura piercing the sky.

"Trash of the Evil Extermination Bureau!" The Dragon King clenched his claws, the evil aura spilling from the dragon horn on his forehead. "Do you intend to exterminate my Jiao Long Hall completely today?"

Tang Zizhen's demeanor was cold as ice, "You have wreaked havoc in Xunyang Prefecture for years. Today you shall be annihilated."

"Humans kill demons, demons kill humans, it's the law of nature." The Dragon King sneered, "Withdraw now, and there can still be peace; but if you refuse to retreat, even if the Jiao Long Hall is destroyed, it will leave you severely weakened!"

Since both parties were present, it was destined to be a fight to the death.

Yet the Dragon King continued to stall, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

Tang Zizhen lightly raised her right hand, her five fingers slightly contracting.

An enormous flower-engraved axe appeared out of thin air, its blade glowing dark red, exuding a murderous aura.

This weapon formed a stark contrast to her petite figure.

"Kill!"

Tang Zizhen's eyes flashed with cold light, her voice chillingly commanding, "Leave none alive!"

As the order was given, it was as if a gate had opened.

The battle was about to ignite.

The ten Jin Mansion Generals along with the Dragon King and the nine Dragon Commanders flew to a nearby location, quickly engaging in fierce combat.

Twenty cultivators of the Inner God Realm in total; even from afar, the shockwaves from their clash could be felt sweeping across in all directions.

The surrounding trees were all broken in an instant, a large area cleared by the terrifying residual force in mere moments.

"Qin An, be careful," Zhou Yuanfeng raised his hands, his palms flowing with True Essence, calling out to warn.

As the words fell, the Dragon Generals, along with numerous Jiao Long creatures, charged towards the people of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Now it was a deadlock; even the creatures usually lurking in the shadows knew the dire threat, desperately fighting to the death.

"Kill!"

Many Silver Mansion Generals shouted, joining forces with Copper Mansion Generals and Household Officers to engage in battle with the creatures of Jiao Long Hall.

Qin An gripped the Cold Star Saber, drawing it from its sheath, and using the Dragon Roar Wind Shadow Step, within just a breath's time, his figure ghosted to the front of the array.

As soon as he landed, three Dragon Generals pounced towards Qin An in a pyramid formation.

Their bodies emitted waves of Evil Qi, their eyes blood-red, drooling with saliva between their fangs, seemingly intent on tearing Qin An to shreds.

"Outer Elixir Great Success?" Qin An squinted his eyes, "The mid-level combat power is somewhat weak."

If looked closely, the number of Silver Mansion Generals of the Evil Extermination Bureau was far less than that of the Dragon Generals, each almost facing two opponents.

Maintaining an undefeated position was entirely due to the deep foundation of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

"You're the Qin An that Master Dragon King wants to kill?" The lead Dragon General sneered, "Taking your head will surely earn a great reward!"

The remaining two Dragon Generals moved in, locking Qin An in, and attacking his back.

Qin An sensed the sharp wind approaching, his brow slightly raising, "The other cultivation techniques are indeed dragging me down."

At this moment, facing the Outer Elixir Realm Small Success siege, Qin An did not intend to use the Tianxuan Medical Body for protection.

The Pulse Condensation Realm's protective method, after all, wasn't reassuring enough.

Qin An also knew well that upon returning, he needed to quickly improve his proficiency, to elevate all cultivation techniques to the Outer Elixir Realm; otherwise, given the current perilous situation, it would risk dragging him down.

Thinking of this, Qin An wielded the Cold Star Saber, initiating a horizontal slash.

As the Dragon General who had been roaring felt the cold light coming, the dragon scales on his body stood on end, a sense of fatal danger rising to his mind.

"What an overbearing blade technique!" The Dragon General roared, his claws surging with True Essence.

True Essence densely packed, an Evil Qi and blood aura blossomed from the True Essence.

The Secret Technique of the Jiao Long Hall, Jiao Blood Boiling!

This Secret Technique involved boiling one's entire Jiao blood, using supreme Jiao blood as a guide, to enhance attack power.

"I only need to block this one blade!" Thought the Dragon General inwardly, "Using the Secret Technique to block, it will surely succeed. Once blocked, the remaining two will naturally take his head!"

While thinking this, his claws collided with the straight blade.

"Boom!"

The claws and blade clashed, the explosive sound suddenly resounding.

Terror-inducing air currents erupted instantaneously from their exchanges of attacks.

The Dragon General felt a piercing pain surging in, discovering in shock that his claws had separated from his wrists.

The solid True Essence, tough as gold and iron, combined with the Secret Technique of the Jiao Long Hall, failed to block even for an instant.

Qin An swung the saber indifferently, and in the frightened gaze of the Dragon General, a streak of cold light suddenly illuminated, bright like the full moon.

The Jiao's head soared skywards, the Demon Pill grasped in Qin An's palm.

"Secret Technique, only so."

Qin An said casually, taking advantage of the open gate ahead, his feet executing the Dragon Roar Wind Shadow Step, transforming into an afterimage, departing swiftly.

Where he left, the attack of the other two Dragon Generals crashed down, blasting a massive chasm into the ground.

The two Dragon Generals showed terrified expressions as they watched their fellow's body fall, a hint of fear hidden in their astonishment.

Qin An turned with his blade, his voice as cold as ice: "Now it's your turn."

This tone made the two Dragon Generals feel as though falling into an icy abyss.

Before the Dragon General on the left had time to react, the nightmare-like figure had already approached.

"What are you staring at?"

Qin An lifted his blade and thrust forward, the Five-Colored True Essence surging like the sea, covering the Cold Star Saber.

The Dragon General on the left trembled all over, wanting to retreat and escape.

But the Cold Star was faster, piercing into the Dragon General's chest at lightning speed.

Qin An slowly withdrew the Cold Star, the Five-Colored True Qi churning and demolishing the Dragon General's insides, the Demon Pill was flicked out by the blade's tip, and held in his palm.

The last Dragon General, seeing this, was terrified out of his wits and turned to flee from the scene.

Yet the young man in black behind him followed closely, arriving in front in just a few steps.

"Think you can run?"

Just as these words fell, a cold gleam flashed, and the Jiao Long's head soared into the sky.

"There's always profit in taking on missions like these." Qin An put away the Demon Pill again, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smile: "If Jin Mansion Generals are this way, then Mountain Patrol Generals are even more so, I've decided on this Mountain Patrol General!"

The whole process took a very short time, from when Qin An raised the Cold Star, to when the final blade fell, less than five breaths' time.

Many Jin Mansion Generals saw this and were overwhelmed with shock.

Were it not for being in the midst of battle, they would have rubbed their eyes to ensure they weren't mistaken.

Zhou Yuanfeng waved both palms repeatedly, killing two Dragon Generals trying to besiege him, displaying a completely natural expression.

This is what the Supreme True Elixir does; for ordinary Outer Elixir Realm cultivators, as long as the difference isn't too vast, it's like wiping them out with a wave.

Qin An's successive slaying of three demons greatly boosted the morale of the people from the Evil Extermination Bureau.

On the other hand, over at Jiao Long Hall, after suffering repeated losses of Dragon Generals, many of the monsters felt a growing fear.

The battlefield was beginning to tip, with the Evil Extermination Bureau gradually gaining the upper hand.

...

On the other side, at the battlefield where the Inner God Realm presence was located.

Nine Dragon Commanders, wounded and with blood-red eyes, stood contrasted against Jin Mansion Generals, who were pale but unscathed and still had strength to spare.

Tang Zizhen wiped the bloodstains off her Xuanhua Battle Axe, gazing indifferently at the Dragon Lord: "Struggling at death's door only makes for a more painful demise."

The Dragon Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinning grimly: "A true genius who forged a Supreme True Elixir, even with all my Secret Techniques unleashed, I can't harm you in the slightest."

Tang Zizhen replied calmly: "If not for that, how could I, at the Small Success stage, fight against a Great Success Inner God Realm creature like you."

"Is there really no peaceful end today?" The Dragon Lord said deeply: "If you let me go, how about Jiao Long Hall stays out of Xunyang Prefecture for ten years?"

"Ten years?" Tang Zizhen transformed into an afterimage, her Xuanhua Battle Axe striking at the Dragon Lord: "What about a lifetime? Why not eliminate future troubles permanently!"

The Dragon Lord roared with fury: "This is too much!"

His claws filled with True Essence, at this moment, the Dragon Lord deployed three Secret Techniques, engaging in another fierce battle with Tang Zizhen.

But suddenly, a scream rang out.

In the corner of the Dragon Lord's eye, he caught sight of a Dragon Commander being decapitated by a Jin Mansion General.

The Jin Mansion General didn't pause, swiftly carrying deadly momentum, attacking another Dragon Commander.

The besieged Dragon Commander was soon no match, on the verge of falling.

Tang Zizhen naturally witnessed this, her Xuanhua Battle Axe becoming more fierce: "The defeat is certain, Jiao Long Hall will be obliterated, leaving no trace!"

"Defeat?" The Dragon Lord's eyes flashed with madness: "Even if destroyed, you'll come with us!"

As these words fell, madness in the Dragon Lord's eyes turned into a fierce resoluteness.

At this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly flashed through Tang Zizhen's mind.

Before she could respond, the remaining eight Dragon Commanders suddenly uttered cries of agony.

Not only that, but even the Dragon Generals and other monsters fighting against the generals also screamed simultaneously.

The screams came wave after wave, and the Jin Mansion Generals, seeing this strange occurrence, all displayed wary expressions.

At this point, the screams gradually subsided.

On the head of one Dragon Commander, a massive bloody hole suddenly appeared, blood spurting skyward.

The same happened to the other Jiao Long Hall monsters.

In less than a breath, all the Jiao Long Hall monsters fell to the ground, turning into cold corpses.

Qin An stood with his blade, frowning slightly: "Demon Pill shattered?"

The blood spewed out contained strands of Qi Blood Power, the aura left after the shattering of the Demon Pill.

Tang Zizhen stepped back a few paces, her eyes bursting with a brilliant light, she shouted, "What are you doing!"

"What am I doing?" The Dragon Lord's face twisted, showing a hint of despair: "You Daqian eagle dogs wish for Jiao Long Hall's extinction; then you all will be buried here!"

"Why can the Jiao Long Hall fly, because it's originally a true dragon's corpse!"

Streams of blood shot from the Dragon Lord's forehead, and at this moment, the Dragon Lord's face showed a touch of death's aura, having already burned away all life, with little time left.

"I have nourished the true dragon's corpse day and night with many sons' thoughts, and it is about to transform into a Pseudo-God, but it is still one step short!"

"That one step, made up for with the lives of Jiao Long Hall's sons!"

The Dragon Lord fell to the ground, shouting viciously: "Have you bastards ever seen a true dragon?"

As the words fell, the Dragon Lord could no longer make a sound.

The entire Jiao Long Hall trembled violently, waves of terrifying Evil Qi rose and unfurled like dragon shadows, enveloping the surroundings and sealing them completely.

"Roar!"

A dragon's roar suddenly erupted, the surrounding dense forest turned to powder under the sweep of sound waves.

Many slightly weaker Bronze Mansion Generals spat blood, their faces pale as paper.

Qin An's body surged with Gang Qi more than a foot high, the Heavenly Mystic Physique protecting him all around.

The surface of the Gang Qi showed a layer of frightening cracks, gradually spreading.

Qin An squinted slightly: "Just the roar alone possesses such might?"

Tang Zizhen led the nine Jin Mansion Generals, flashing and zigzagging, arriving before Jiao Long Hall, faces solemn: "Everyone, act!"

At her command, the ten Jin Mansion Generals struck with all their might, ten Inner God Realm attacks collectively landing on Jiao Long Hall.

Jiao Long Hall began to crack inch by inch, a terrifying dragon shadow flying out from within.

In the next moment, the dragon shadow became clear; it was a true dragon composed entirely of white bones!

Beneath the skeletal dragon, countless Evil Qi connected to Jiao Long Hall, the pressure palpable and terrifying.

"It's being forcibly awakened..." Tang Zizhen shouted: "Its power is only at Inner God Realm Perfection, hold back the bones!"
