The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

"I've started my period."

"I clearly counted down the days, how could this be...?"

Cui Yi was stunned for a moment by her push and shout, but then he realized what she meant and was both amused and exasperated.

I've already taken my pants off, and you want me to see this?

Seeing the two of them being so open with each other, Xu Yunyan blushed. After hesitating for a moment, she stammered, "Yi'er, it's not good for you to keep this up. Let your sister-in-law help you with her hand."

Half an hour later, Xu Yunyan rubbed her sore wrists, blushed, and cleaned up the mess. Cui Yi then pulled her into the bed.

"Sister Yunyan."

"When I return from Black Wind Ridge tomorrow, I will go to Xu Family Village and give you a proper title."

Xu Yunyan didn't speak, but buried her face deeper into Cui Yi's arms and nodded gently.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Perhaps the manual operation last night was too exhausting, because when Cui Yi got up, Xu Yunyan was still fast asleep, and Tang'er was even more sound asleep.

Cui Yi didn't plan to wake them when he set off, otherwise there would have been another round of crying. Anyway, he had put the remaining silver under the two women's pillows, so even if he didn't come back for a few days, the two women wouldn't go hungry.

The government's reward was offered at any time of day, but considering the poor visibility at night, Cui Yi set off quickly.

Black Wind Ridge is located about 30 miles west of Qinglin Town. It is a steep mountain ridge among the continuous mountain ranges.

Because the trees in this place grow so large and dense, the mountain wind blowing through the gaps sounds like the wailing of ghosts, and over time the name Black Wind Ridge came about.

Not long after entering Black Wind Ridge, a violent roar suddenly exploded from the direction of the mountain gully to the left, making Cui Yi's eardrums ache!

This is how it happened?

Cui Yi's face lit up with joy. He pushed off the ground with his toes and dashed off in the direction the sound came from!

The closer you get, the stronger the stench of blood in the air becomes.

Guided by the smell of blood, Cui Yi quickly approached the scene of the incident.

In the open space in sight, three horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods had overturned on the ground, with the goods scattered everywhere. One of the carriages had even been smashed to pieces by some enormous force.

Several corpses lay scattered on the ground, some human, some horse, all in extremely gruesome condition. Some had their bellies ripped open, others had their heads shattered, and the ground was stained dark red with blood.

Three men dressed as coachmen leaned against a still-intact carriage, protecting an elderly man in a brocade robe and a young girl in a pale yellow dress in the middle.

The culprit who caused this tragedy was standing in the middle of the open space, head down, gnawing on a corpse.

This is a huge tiger, with a faint blood-red mist emanating from its body, and a dark red stripe on its brow that looks like a burning flame!

The demonic aura is leaking out; this is clearly a sign of becoming a demonic beast!

Cui Yi only glanced at it from afar before he sensed the intensity of the tiger demon's aura!

Late stage of Qi Refining!

It might even be close to perfection!

Beasts are inherently stronger than humans in terms of physical attributes, and they are even more superior to humans of the same level. Moreover, this beast's level is even higher than his!

No wonder so many people who come never return. A small county like Qinglin has produced such a powerful monster. Ordinary people are just there to provide the monster with extra food.

After a moment of contemplation, Cui Yi realized he had no choice but to devise a sneak attack.

The three methods of attacking demons are point, line, and surface. Although they are basic, they are all practical techniques for killing demons.

If I can get close enough to attack the tiger demon's neck, my chances of success will be much greater.

Even if it can't be done...

Even if I use the Demon-Subduing Three Forms twice in a row, I won't run out of true energy. At that point, I'll have to give up on these people.

While Cui Yi was pondering, the tiger demon seemed to have eaten its fill. Its cold, vertical pupils swept over the few remaining people, revealing a fierce glint deep within its eyes!

Its massive body lowered slightly, then with a jolt of its limbs, it leaped into the air and pounced forward!

The three drivers were so frightened they collapsed, and the old man, with despair in his eyes, tightly hugged the girl behind him.

It's now!

Cui Yi's eyes narrowed, and the thin but solid true energy in his body began to circulate wildly at an unprecedented speed, pouring into the meridians of his legs!

At the same moment, his figure shot out, so fast that he left a faint afterimage in his place!

The Three Techniques for Subduing Demons.

The second move!

Breaking the Evil!

Under the full force of this concentrated true energy, the ordinary iron sword actually gleamed with a faint, inconspicuous dark light, emitted a deep hum, and its sharpness increased dramatically!

The tiger demon was caught in mid-air and had no time to react. Cui Yi's attack pierced a bloody hole in its neck!

Intense pain and impact struck simultaneously, shaking the tiger demon from mid-air, where it crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Cui Yi was not naive enough to think that this attack could kill a late-stage Qi Refining stage demon beast. He twisted his wrist sharply and pulled out the deeply embedded longsword, bringing out a large chunk of flesh!

The remaining true energy in his body surged wildly into the longsword without reservation!

The Three Techniques for Subduing Demons.

The third move!

Demon-Slaying Style!

The iron sword began to tremble violently as it was infused with an immense amount of true energy far exceeding its capacity!

The tiger demon, realizing what was happening, roared and staggered to its feet, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, as if it wanted to tear Cui Yi's soul to shreds!

A palpable demonic aura, accompanied by a strong stench of blood, assaulted the senses. The injury did not deter it; instead, it unleashed its ferocity!

But it was severely injured after all. Before the tiger demon could even get into an attacking stance, Cui Yi's iron sword had already drawn a semicircle in mid-air, severing the tiger demon's huge head from its neck!

The demonic blood shot into the sky from the severed neck, staining the surrounding ground crimson!

The headless tiger carcass convulsed violently a few times before collapsing to the ground with a thud, completely silent.

The silent pagoda began to turn again. This time, the absorption was not completed instantly as before, but instead the tiger demon's corpse was stored in the space of the first level.

Although Cui Yi didn't know what it meant, he could guess the general idea.

It is estimated that the tiger demon's vitality is too strong, and with its current cultivation level, it is not possible for the Floating Pagoda to absorb it directly.

call......

After the crisis was resolved, Cui Yi breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Three Demon-Subduing Techniques had been perfected, making them not only easy to use but also several times more powerful. Otherwise, they might not have even been able to break through the tiger demon's defenses.

Only then did Cui Yi realize that every muscle in his body was incredibly sore, and the true energy in his dantian was almost completely depleted.

To kill a tiger demon who was in the late stage of Qi Refining while only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining is a feat to be proud of!

"Immortal Master, please wait!"

An aged voice came from behind.

Cui Yi paused slightly, turned to look and saw the injured old man, supported by the young girl, struggling to stand up and bowing deeply to him.

"I am Lin Songshan of the Liuyun Chamber of Commerce. This time, I was ordered by my master to escort a batch of goods to Qinglin County. I did not expect to accidentally enter this dangerous place, Black Wind Ridge, and be attacked by such ferocious beasts."

"If it weren't for the righteous intervention of the immortal master, we would all be devoured by beasts today, leaving no trace of our bodies!"

"I will never forget your life-saving grace!"
