Yellow sand filled the sky, swallowing the clear sky, and the desert lay as desolately as scorched earth.

Qin An's toes had just touched the sand when a piercing scream erupted from Fox Qing behind him.

"You little bastard! Today, this sand dune will be your grave!"

Looking back, Fox Qing led ten Outer Elixir Realm fox girls surging from the passage.

Evil Qi intertwined with the raging sand, causing the sky to suddenly darken.

Qin An's figure did not pause, True Qi erupted beneath his feet, transforming into a blue afterimage darting toward the depths of the sand dunes.

"Struggling desperately!" Fox Qing sneered, "Even though you have this mysterious body technique, I am renowned for my speed at Carefree Mountain, how can you compete with me?"

As soon as the words fell, Fox Qing drove her true fox demon form, coming within three feet of Qin An.

A feverish gleam shimmered in her eyes, as if she was already preparing to offer Qin An's head to the Fox Girl.

As the distance between them grew closer, Fox Qing extended her sharp claws, reaching towards Qin An.

But at that moment, Qin An suddenly shifted direction like a nimble fish, sprinting toward the other side of the sand dune.

Seeing this anomaly, Fox Qing let out a cold laugh, with her true fox demon form exuding terrifying evil Qi, changing direction, and pursuing Qin An once more.

The distance between them closed by another foot, now within Fox Qing's optimal attacking distance.

But just as Fox Qing was about to attack, a series of violent booming sounds erupted all around.

Fox Qing's eyes trembled slightly.

"Ah!"

Screams of despair pierced the quiet of the place.

Fox Qing's heart jolted, she turned back to glance behind her.

The previously calm and unruffled sand dune suddenly brimmed with murderous intent, like the killing frost of late autumn, enveloping the ten Outer Elixir Realm fox girls.

The array burst forth like a mountain avalanche, and in just a few breaths, these ten Outer Elixir Realm fox girls were heavily wounded by the array.

Fresh blood dripped down the yellow sand, spilling onto the sand dunes.

In no time, it stained the dunes a dark red.

Fox Qing's pupils contracted slightly, and she clenched her claws tightly.

The Array Power surrounding them identified her, surging toward her with lethal intent.

Each array attack contained terrifying power, wave after wave.

In this moment of crisis, Fox Qing crossed her claws, attacking the array power ahead.

"Boom!"

Another terrifying booming sound occurred.

Fox Qing was sent flying backward, landing steadily on the sand dune.

But before she could react, she saw an afterimage pass before her eyes.

Cold Star Saber was unsheathed, its saber light like the moon.

Under the bright sunlight, it shimmered with a chilling brilliance.

Each slice of saber light that flashed could take the life of an Outer Elixir Realm fox girl.

This group of fox girls was already heavily wounded by the Array Power, now unable to fight back.

Ten heads soared skyward.

Qin An lightly flicked the saber's edge, the demon pills all in his pouch: "A bountiful harvest."

Fox Qing's eyes threatened to pop out: "You little beast! How dare you!"

As soon as the words fell, she took a step forward.

The terrifying array nearby, like a predator finding its prey, surged toward her again.

A series of explosions resounded.

Fox Qing's claws lashed out, dispersing the attacking arrays one by one.

Yet, a hint of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, her right claw trembling slightly.

"Using a natural formation to set such a killing array, this little beast is truly formidable!"

Fox Qing's eyes contained hidden killing intent, wishing she could skin and eat Qin An alive.

"Is the Inner God Realm only capable of this?" Qin An smiled faintly, beckoning with his finger: "Come and take my head."

Fox Qing gritted her teeth, but did not dare act recklessly.

This place was laid with thousands of terrifying arrays by Qin An.

If it were only Qin An's arrays, Fox Qing's Inner God Realm strength would be enough to break through here and take Qin An's head.

But Qin An, when setting up the arrays, used the natural formation of this sand dune as a foundation.

Over a thousand arrays spun around it, each eruption of an array causing this pure natural formation to boom.

Even creatures of Inner God Realm Perfection struggled with this array, let alone Fox Qing?

Confronted with Qin An's provocation, Fox Qing wished to tear Qin An apart.

Qin An lowered his hand, speaking indifferently: "The fox girls of Carefree Mountain are only so much, lacking even the courage to take a step; how can you dare to boast of taking my head?"

Fox Qing's teeth clattered with rage: "You little beast, if you have the guts, remove this array and fight me fairly!"

"Fairly?" Qin An interrupted with a cold smile, his saber tip stirring up sand: "Your so-called fairness is about using the Inner God Realm to kill me, an Outer Elixir Realm - that is indeed fair enough."

Fox Qing retorted angrily: "You little bastard, despite your sharp tongue, you possess extraordinary power, the Outer Elixir Realm is like poultry in your hands, how could we underestimate you?"

Qin An ran a hand over the Cold Star Saber's blade: "Since that's the case, what's with the talk, come, kill me."

Fox Qing stood still, not daring to make the slightest reckless move.

Even though it was calm here, a single misstep could trigger a series of array explosions.

Qin An smiled slightly: "Since you don't dare come to kill me, then I shall take my leave first."

As the words fell, Qin An circulated True Essence, executing the Lunar Shadow Step, and vanished from sight.

When the afterimage completely disappeared, Fox Qing stared at the spot where Qin An disappeared, her fists clenched tightly.

After a long while, she sighed inwardly.

"Forget it, if I can't kill this little beast, it's better to retreat than to lose my life here. For now, breaking through this array and finding a way out is wiser."

With that thought, Fox Qing no longer fixated on killing Qin An but gazed at the deserted sand dunes and slowly stepped forward.

She wanted to try.

If she didn't attempt it, just standing here meant she didn't know how long she would stand.

But before she could take that step firmly, a terrifying killing intent erupted behind her.

Snow-bright saber light, like the moon, flickered with a silver glow, slashing toward the back of Fox Qing's neck with a force like shattering the heavens.

Three Blades Unite!

The dread of the Five-Colored True Essence carried a ruthless saber momentum.

If this strike landed, even Fox Qing's Inner God Realm cultivation would suffer greatly.

"You little beast, you haven't left, daring to ambush me!"

Fox Qing whirled around, watching as the blade light wrapped in Five-Colored True Essence approached, her claws charged with terrifying True Essence, striking fiercely at it.

"Boom!"

The violent roar erupted.

The Fox Girl remained unmoved, while Qin An was sent flying backwards by the massive backlash force, landing steadily on the sand dunes.

"No wonder you're an Inner God Realm beast." Qin An stood up, shaking off the wind and sand from the Straight Blade: "Attack and defense combined, truly tricky."

The Fox Girl sneered: "You're not bad either. Pretending to leave first, then taking the chance to ambush me when I'm relaxed. It seems my head is very important to you."

Qin An said indifferently: "Since I rose in Ding County, I've never let an enemy slip through my fingers. Whenever I encounter one, I sever their head, only then can I sleep peacefully."

"What a pity..." The Fox Girl said disdainfully: "You have many Secret Techniques, but ultimately you're only at Outer Elixir Realm Great Success, far below Inner God Realm. Even the Secret Technique that resists Power of Divine Sense serves only as defense, unable to harm me."

"Is that so?" Qin An smiled slightly: "That might not be the case."

The Fox Girl's lips curled with a hint of contempt, just as she was about to say something, her face changed dramatically: "Not good!"

During her clash with Qin An just now, the terrifying Array around them activated, surging towards her with a mountain-crushing force.

"Boom!"

Another series of continuous roars resounded.

The Fox Girl exerted all her strength, her Fox Demon true form dodging and weaving like a mountain, barely surviving the crisis.

Blood flowed from the corner of the Fox Girl's mouth.

She wiped it away with her hand, eyes filled with hatred as she glared at Qin An: "Such a venomous mind! No wonder Her Majesty wants you eliminated swiftly!"

She finally understood why Qin An chose this moment to attack.

His true intention wasn't to take her life directly but to force her into defense, thereby triggering the surrounding Array.

That wave of Array attacks had already inflicted serious injuries on her.

Qin An walked slowly, sheathing the Cold Star Saber with a whoosh: "Seeing through it, what of it? What can you do? You're just a fish on a chopping block, unable to stir up waves."

As the words fell, Qin An's figure vanished on the spot, reappearing right in front of the Fox Girl.

"Dare to move a step?"

Qin An raised his left fist, Five-Colored True Essence covering it like a furious ocean.

Demon Pill, burn!

In his heart, Qin An whispered, causing the Demon Pill inside him to ignite rapidly.

Filled with the power equivalent to ten Demon Pills, it condensed into a terrifying Qi Blood Power, spread across the Five-Colored True Essence.

Qin An punched out, accompanied by a skyward rush of yellow sand, forming a dreadful desert cyclone in the air.

"Such powerful attack!" The Fox Girl's eyes widened, gritting her teeth.

Her claws, covered in Evil Qi and True Qi, collided with Qin An's fist.

She knew there was terrible Array coverage around her, but at that moment she had no choice but to move.

The Secret Techniques Qin An employed at that moment even surpassed Three Blades Unite; not moving would lead to more severe injuries.

The Fox Girl hadn't expected to be pushed to such a degree by an Outer Elixir Realm lowlife.

"Boom!"

The terrifying roar once more echoed across the sand dunes.

Qin An's body shook tremendously, sent flying backwards, leaving two deep marks on the sand dunes as he slid.

The Fox Girl remained alert and vigilant.

The Array surged like a mountain-crushing force, fiercely bombarding the Fox Demon true form.

The Fox Girl cried out, circulating True Qi to the limit in a collision with the terrible Array Power.

Blood streamed from her seven orifices, her internal organs felt like they were being scorched by flames, pain reached the extreme.

The Fox Girl coughed up blood, laughing out loud: "Exchanging injury for injury, little brat, can you withstand it?"

Qin An's mouth was drenched in blood, his eyes dull and dimmed.

The Fox Girl knew clearly, Qin An's Secret Technique was capable of severely harming her, but in a direct clash, Qin An would suffer even greater damage.

The Array Power earlier indeed dealt heavy injuries to her, yet Qin An's injuries were not light either.

In an injury exchange, he certainly will not survive.

"Inner God Realm is indeed troublesome." Qin An wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Exchanging injury for injury, you deserve that privilege?"

The Fox Girl's eyes froze, pupils shrinking: "How is it possible? How many terrifying Cultivation Techniques have you learned, you little bastard?"

Qin An's True Essence circulated, and a golden dharma image glowed, hovering behind him.

The golden radiance was unrivaled in defense, yet at that moment all its light flowed into Qin An's body.

Qin An's injuries visibly began to heal.

Within just a few breaths, they were 70-80% recovered.

After a few more breaths, the remaining 20-30% injuries healed completely.

The Celestial Physician Dharma Image had long been developed by Qin An to Outer Elixir Realm Great Success.

Moreover, during its development, Qin An chose a recovery-focused Cultivation Technique, pushing the recovery ability of the Celestial Physician Dharma Image to the extreme.

Thus, such level of injuries seemed severe to Qin An but were trivially easy to recover from.

Qin An confidently stepped over sand and stones, each step accompanied by a sentence, cold as frost.

"I can use this kind of recovery ability countless times, so... what about you?"

With those words, Qin An's figure disappeared again into the desert.

Reappearing, Qin An faced the Fox Girl head-on, expressionlessly swinging his fist, crashing it hard towards her face.

Demon Pill! Burn!

Yet another ten Demon Pills were completely burned by Qin An.

If it meant killing an Inner God Realm beast, he wouldn't hold back.

Only by going all out could he slay this demon.

For the first time, a hint of fear crossed the Fox Girl's face, but she dared not move rashly.

Seeing the fist enlarging, along with the Five-Colored True Essence and Qi Blood Power upon it, the Fox Girl gritted her teeth as another clash approached.

"Boom!"

The roar resounded once more over the sand dunes, terrifying killing and Evil Qi intertwined, lasting for almost half an incense stick before it ceased.

Yellow sand filled the sky.

Amongst the yellow sand, a silhouette suddenly appeared.

With a flick of the sleeve, the figure sent a wave like a sea to clear away the yellow sand.

Qin An's face was indifferent, standing atop the sand dune.

All Demon Pills were completely burned, yet it was all worth it.

The Inner God Realm's demon essence adequately compensated for the expenditure, even more so.

Not far ahead, the Fox Girl lay motionless on the sand dune, eyes void of life.

Blood covered her body.

The surrounding Array had vanished without a trace.

The ground was in ruins.

"I beg for mercy! Spare me!" the Fox Girl opened her mouth blankly, mechanically pleading for mercy.
