The torches lit up in the dark night, encircling the mountains like a burning dragon, winding downwards.

The cries of battle pierced through the night, deafeningly covering the entire mountain peaks.

Nie Hu heard the words and felt a shock in his heart.

More eyes lit up in the darkness, rushing towards them.

Qin An raised his black blade, pointing forward: "They chose the hardest way."

Facing the siege of the Evil Extermination Bureau, they neither secretly descended the mountain nor fortified themselves within a city.

Instead, they chose to charge at the steel wall of the Evil Extermination Bureau in their peak state.

The entire mountain was in slaughter, and everyone stationed there by the Evil Extermination Bureau unsheathed their weapons, battling with the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Three people at Body Realm Perfection were slain by Qin An on the spot, significantly weakening the threat on their side.

Nie Hu and Ma Rou each led their subordinate state officials, rushing into the crowd like the wind.

The killing began like a breeze, in a barely noticeable manner.

...

Moments later, Qin An wiped the bloodstains off his black blade, looking at the corpses scattered all over.

Several state officials stepped forward, laying their fellow corpses on the ground.

More bodies of the Hundred Beasts Sect were piled randomly, and several state officials spat at the corpses.

The battle on their side ended quickly, while shouts of combat still resounded in other locations.

Qin An and the others stood holding their weapons in place, without anyone moving.

The order from the Evil Extermination Bureau was to guard their respective positions; without orders, even if other places were breached, they would not move freely.

The site was silent.

Fortunately, this time, the Evil Extermination Bureau had made ample preparations in advance.

Until the time for one incense stick had passed, the cries of battle gradually disappeared.

The breeze blew, allowing Qin An to smell the scent of blood lingering in the woods.

"Alas..."

A weak sigh suddenly echoed.

The sigh came from the platform atop the mountain.

Qin An raised his eyes, his gaze slightly condensed.

On the platform, an elderly white-haired man with hands stuffed in his sleeves was slightly hunched.

Even though the distance was far, his voice was still clear to the ear.

"The Hundred Beasts Sect has been situated in Lingzhou for decades, does the Evil Extermination Bureau truly wish to wipe us out?"

As this voice arose, Yang Quanfeng stepped onto the platform, with an unparalleled domineering tone amidst everyone's view.

"If you're meant to die at three, how can you survive until five?"

No explanations, no extraneous words, just a simple sentence.

The mountain peaks were calm, with silence prevailing.

A hint of sorrow emerged in the elder's eyes, bringing his hands out from his sleeves: "Yang Quanfeng, this is too much."

Yang Quanfeng replied indifferently: "Muo Yunzhi, as the Sect Leader of Hundred Beasts Sect, consorting with creatures of disgrace, I act excessively; what can you do?"

A clear illusion appeared behind Muo Yunzhi, gradually concentrating into a giant multicolored serpent covered in scales: "Fine, today I shall witness the strength of Jinzhou's official."

As the words fell, the serpent illusion merged with Muo Yunzhi's body, his hands forming claws, striking at Yang Quanfeng's chest.

Yang Quanfeng took off the iron hammer from his waist, engaging in battle with Muo Yunzhi.

As soon as they touched, a fierce wind erupted, with the residual might spreading wide.

The sound of metal clashing reverberated continuously, intertwining with broken stones and swirling sand.

Without Yang Quanfeng's orders, people from the Evil Extermination Bureau did not act rashly.

Qin An observed the scene of combat between the parties, quietly remarked: "This is the strength of Jinzhou's official."

In his estimation, even the ordinary officials from Tongzhou would be in mortal peril were they to step into the range of the two's battle.

With twelve like Yang Quanfeng's expertise in Lingzhou, this is the confidence of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

In the span of several breaths, the two had already exchanged dozens of strikes.

Behind Muo Yunzhi, the serpent's shadow flickered, yet it was repeatedly suppressed by Yang Quanfeng's massive hammer; the shadow was gradually blurring.

Only needing the time of one incense stick, Muo Yunzhi's head would be crushed by the hammer.

Yet Muo Yunzhi appeared exceedingly composed, taking a moment to glance at the foot of the mountain.

At this point, Yang Quanfeng frowned, a vague sense of unease arising in his heart.

The night like a curtain, a ghostly glow suddenly emerged.

The battlefield below which had long ago settled suddenly saw white foxes emerging from the dark, falling into fox girl forms, launching attacks on the Evil Extermination Bureau's men.

Just after undergoing a successive series of battles, the sudden appearance of fox girls caught some state officials of the Evil Extermination Bureau off guard, transforming them into corpses.

Battle below reignited once more, with cries of combat rising again.

The same was true on Qin An's side.

Over a hundred fox girls with cold eyes pounced towards Qin An and the others.

Nie Hu shouted: "Fight!"

The subordinate state officials shook off fatigue, raising weapons to meet the fox girls.

Ma Rou brandished the Life-taking Rope in her hand, hooking several fox girls by the necks, pulling casually, resulting in the immediate decapitation of the fox girls.

However, whether it was Ma Rou or Nie Hu, their expressions remained extremely solemn.

This group of fox girls being able to infiltrate the Hundred Beasts Sect must be due to Muo Yunzhi.

The fox girls' strength was no less than the disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect, and surpassing them in some ways.

After further battle, the state officials of the Evil Extermination Bureau might face significant casualties.

Only to see how Yang Quanfeng handles it.

Qin An, holding his black blade, had already charged into the midst of the fox girls.

Compared to others' caution, Qin An acted boldly and vigorously.

The Flame Demon Three Blades were exhibited, akin to a whirlwind sweeping leaves.

With each strike, a head flew up.

Any fox girl that entered Qin An's range was partly crushed by the Red Tiger Demon Slaying Hand.

A few fox girls saw Qin An not guarding his back, their faces brightening, opening bloody mouths filled with fangs to bite.

But the next moment, a crisp sound echoed.

The fox girls bit onto the Gang Qi on Qin An's back, breaking all their teeth.

Qin An swung back with a blade, sending the fox girl's head flying with blood into the air.

Many state officials were astonished by Qin An's ruthless efficiency.

The Evil Extermination Bureau had many fierce individuals, but such a young official from Tongzhou, who's so ruthless, was quite rare.

With three officials from Tongzhou here, combined with numerous state officials, along with Qin An's might, the battle concluded quickly.

"Whew!"

Several state officials sat down, raising hands to wipe the blood off their faces, intending to rest for a moment.

At this point, everyone saw a figure carrying a knife, walking excitedly towards the many fox girl corpses.

Qin An's eyes gleamed, proficiently butchering them.

The Jade Bone of Cang Mountain required at least a hundred Blood Crystals from the Body Storage Realm for nurturing; he initially thought he'd have to wait until the Tiger Race's secret stash to gather them.

Now it seems, he might be able to enter the Jade Bone Realm earlier.

With each fox girl butchered, Qin An absorbed all the Blood Crystals.

He didn't care for the others, and likewise, the others remained silent.

During missions, apart from the items required by the mission, other things belong to those performing the mission.

Qin An was the strongest here, with no one having any objections.

After absorbing a hundred Blood Crystals, Qin An paused slightly.

[Butcher lv.4(400/600): The livestock you butcher becomes even more delicious]

Over a hundred fox girls brought considerable profession bonuses.

On top of the gathered Blood Crystals, Qin An could complete nurturing the Jade Bone of Cang Mountain upon returning home.

Unfortunately, without orders, Qin An couldn't go elsewhere; otherwise, today might have been doubly joyous.
