Chapter 1090 Rapid Advance
The throwing knife landed on the handsome young man's calf.

His mind was completely absorbed by the Bright Moon Divine Sword, leaving him unable to pay attention to the silent, deadly strike.

By the time they realized something was wrong and tried to dodge, it was too late.

A golden light flashed instantly.

"what!"

The handsome young man let out a scream.

Then his whole body shone with golden light.

Surrounded by golden light, he suddenly transformed into a fox with a human body.

The golden light suddenly shone brightly, as if a ball of golden flame had suddenly sprung up, completely enveloping him.

Then the golden light disappeared.

He disappeared as well.

This scene startled everyone around, who then took action again.

The bright moon, transformed from the Divine Sword of the Bright Moon, continued to rise.

The other disciples of Guanghan Palace also thrust their swords at the other dashing men.

Only Lu Xiaolu remained by Chu Zhiyuan's side, her delicate face tense, her cherry lips pursed tightly, and her bright eyes sparkling.

Chu Zhiyuan felt the white silk around his waist tighten, clearly indicating that she was channeling her inner energy, preparing to pull him away at any moment to dodge.

The bright moon shines down on a dashing young man.

The dashing young man snorted angrily: "What are you junior sisters trying to do!"

As he spoke, he drew his sword and roared, "Attack together!"

Four young men stood shoulder to shoulder with him, drawing their swords together to meet Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei, suspended in mid-air, let out a cold laugh, and the bright moon in the sky suddenly fell.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

With a clear ringing sound, the five swords swung simultaneously, and they staggered backward.

The violent energy emanating from the sword made their bodies go limp, leaving them unable to exert any strength for a moment.

Just then, five beams of clear light suddenly struck their left calves.

These five beams of light resembled ice shards gliding across a spring, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.

They wanted to dodge but were powerless to do so, and could only watch helplessly as the flying knife struck them.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

……

The five people screamed almost simultaneously.

Golden light flashed across their bodies, then suddenly transformed into a ball of golden flame.

Within the golden flames, they transformed into demons with fox heads and human bodies, and then vanished along with the golden light.

"go!"

A dashing young man roared.

His clothes billowed suddenly, his head instantly transformed into a fox, and then he turned and fled.

In the blink of an eye, it shot out more than ten meters.

"Hmph!" Qi Qingmei sneered again and swung her sword, and a bright moon rose again.

Suddenly, the bright moon flashed and appeared in front of them in an instant, as if it had been teleported.

"Fight!"

The remaining fox-headed, human-bodied demons roared in anger.

Their bodies simultaneously shot in all directions, as if fleeing for their lives.

As they turned around, they didn't notice the silent throwing knife already waiting there.

Their attention was still drawn to the bright moon, causing them to overlook the transparent knife.

By the time they realized what was happening, the throwing knife had already pierced their shoulders.

"what!"

The screams were exceptionally pitiful, enough to make anyone who heard them shudder.

At the same time, golden light flashed and then turned into golden flames, as if burning them to ashes in an instant.

The women's gazes were drawn to the five transparent throwing knives as they gracefully slipped into Chu Zhiyuan's sleeve.

Chu Zhiyuan, feeling embarrassed under the gazes of the women, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior Sister Qi, I got a good deal."

"What a bargain!" Qi Qingmei sheathed her sword: "Is this the Demon-Subduing Blade?"

"Yes."

"As expected of the extraordinary skill that Sect Leader Lu praised so highly," Qi Qingmei said calmly. "If it weren't for your Demon-Subduing Blade, these fox demons wouldn't have been dealt with so easily."

Lu Xiaolu snorted, "These thousand-faced fox demons are slippery and hard to kill."

Qi Qingmei asked, "Do they have demonic energy about them?"

"Yes," Chu Zhiyuan said, "We can smell their scent from afar." "Very good," Qi Qingmei nodded in satisfaction, "With you here, we can travel with peace of mind."

Lu Xiaolu exclaimed excitedly, "Then we'll be able to reach Qinglian Sea very soon!"

Qi Qingmei nodded: "Let's go, speed up!"

"Yes!"

They regrouped and continued westward.

Lu Xiaolu looked at Chu Zhiyuan with curiosity.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Senior Sister Lu, is there something wrong with my face?"

Lu Xiaolu said with feigned seriousness, "Your Demon-Subduing Blade is incredibly powerful! You're only at the Qi Transformation Realm, how can it be so strong?"

I never imagined that someone at the Qi Transformation Realm could kill a Venerable, let alone kill a Venerable so easily.

They couldn't understand it.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Perhaps it's because my Demon-Subduing Blade is specifically designed to subdue evil spirits."

“There are miraculous techniques specifically designed to subdue demons, but none as powerful as this.” Lu Xiaolu looked at Qi Qingmei: “Senior Sister, are there any?”

Qi Qingmei said calmly, "The legendary Demon-Subduing Peak is said to have a miraculous technique that specifically counters evil spirits. Its power is astonishing, like the scorching sun burning snow. Unfortunately, it is an ancient legend, and I have never heard of its inheritance."

Lu Xiaolu asked in surprise, "Could it be that Junior Brother Chu's Demon-Subduing Blade is the inheritance of the Demon-Subduing Peak?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, "I obtained it through a fortuitous encounter in the Little Outer Heaven."

“Little Outer Heaven…” Lu Xiaolu looked at Qi Qingmei again: “Senior Sister, do you know about this Little Outer Heaven?”

Qi Qingmei shook her head: "This is a secret of Tianjian Peak, and it has not been leaked for so many years... Junior Brother Chu, you don't need to say any more."

"Yes, thank you, Senior Sister Qi." Chu Zhiyuan replied solemnly.

Lu Xiaolu asked, "Senior Sister Qi, aren't you curious about this Demon-Subduing Blade?"

"Stop talking and hurry up," Qi Qingmei snorted.

Lu Xiaolu pouted her cherry lips but didn't say anything.

Their clothes fluttered, and their speed increased. Chu Zhiyuan felt as if he were a wisp of fluff, being carried forward by the wind.

The white silk ribbon, imbued with a cool, refreshing aura, carried him as he floated away.

……

Chu Liezhao suddenly appeared at the Demon Subduing Palace, looking at the hall where clusters of golden light floated.

Thus, Chu Zhiyuan saw the situation at the Demon-Subduing Palace.

All thirteen thousand-faced fox demons perished under the Demon-Subduing Blade, transforming into thirteen golden rays.

These thirteen golden rays were brighter than the rest, like the moon among the stars.

Chu Zhiyuan speculated that it might be because their cultivation was far superior to that of other demons.

This time it seemed simple, but if it weren't for Qi Qingmei and the others holding them back, it wouldn't have been so easy to kill these thirteen thousand-faced fox demons.

They were fast and cunning, and it was only because Chu Zhiyuan and Qi Qingmei worked together that they were so easily annihilated.

He wished he could absorb this golden light right now and use it to break through his ancestral aperture.

But the current situation is not suitable, so we can only leave it for later.

He regained his composure and quickly began circulating his true energy to cultivate the Heavenly Sword Scripture.

Lu Xiaolu glanced at him and shook her head: "You're really hardworking."

This changed to her dragging him along the way, instead of him driving while she assisted to increase their speed.

Even at this point, they still need to cultivate.

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and smiled, "I want to become a Venerable as soon as possible so that I can go down the mountain and exterminate the evil demons."

“Becoming a Venerable One isn’t so easy,” Lu Xiaolu said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, smiled, closed his eyes, and continued his cultivation.

A moment later, his body suddenly swelled up like a ball, and then deflated.

Lu Xiaolu's bright eyes widened.

Qi Qingmei turned and glanced at Chu Zhiyuan, then nodded slightly: "He has advanced another stage in Qi Transformation, so it should be the third stage, right?"

Lu Xiaolu nodded: "It's the third stage of Qi transformation."

She could sense Chu Zhiyuan's true essence through the white silk.

Qi Qingmei didn't say anything more and continued on her way.

An hour later, Chu Zhiyuan's clothes bulged up again, and then deflated.

Lu Xiaolu's bright eyes widened even more.

Qi Qingmei glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Four turns."

"This..." Lu Xiaolu hurriedly said, "Isn't that a bit too fast?"

"Perhaps it's the culmination of years of hard work and gradual accumulation," Qi Qingmei said.

Lu Xiaolu snorted, "Let's see just how fast he can fix it."

Regardless, the speed at which it goes from three to four revolutions is truly astonishing.
