I became a martial arts saint while playing games.

Blood was everywhere in the main hall of the county government office, and a man and two demons were fighting each other, seemingly having a great time.

The surrounding constables were dumbfounded, and even Shen Qinghan was a little bewildered by the scene.

Gu Yan's breakthrough speed was as fast as a monster, but no matter how fast it was, he had only just passed the threshold of the Qi Control Realm.

A martial artist who had just passed the Qi Control stage was fighting two demon kings at the mid-stage of Qi Control. If he could escape unscathed, he would be considered a top-tier expert in his realm.

To be able to hold his own against two opponents and exchange a few blows is to be a rare and exceptional martial artist.

To be able to turn the tables against two opponents and defeat two high-level demon kings is truly monstrous, a prodigy whose abilities defy common sense.

As for someone like Gu Yan, who fought two demon kings single-handedly, not only did he make them cry and scream, but he couldn't even run away...

Shen Qinghan was at a loss for words to describe it.

She doesn't know the answer to this question.

Because she was absolutely certain that even if you searched through the entire history books, there would be absolutely no record of such a perversion.

It's important to understand that simply winning and killing are not the same thing. If a demon king at the mid-stage of Qi Control were determined to escape, even Shen Qinghan wasn't confident he could stop him, let alone facing two at once.

Shen Qinghan initially thought that even so, it would still be a bit difficult for Gu Yan to face these two powerful demons alone. Although she knew that Gu Yan liked to personally slay demons, she couldn't help but draw her sword and step forward to help him.

But to her utter surprise, Gu Yan, despite being outnumbered two to one, still managed to find time amidst his busy schedule, shaking his head at her to indicate that she didn't need to.

Shen Qinghan froze for a moment, then silently sheathed the sword that had already been drawn.

Having mastered the basics of Qi manipulation, he was able to fight two opponents at once, and even had the leisure to keep an eye on the situation on his side, telling her not to intervene... This clearly meant that even under such circumstances, Gu Yan was still in a position of ease and had plenty of energy to spare.

He is truly a prodigy, a genius beyond compare.

Shen Qinghan couldn't help but sigh once again—

—Could this be a divinely bestowed martial spirit?

However, she also realized that Gu Yan's easy suppression of the two demons was not solely due to his formidable strength, but rather to four words—

—Use the opponent's strength against them.

The principle of using an opponent's force against them applies not only to martial arts but also to mental strategies and tactics.

Gu Yan had told her before that defeating these powerful demons wasn't difficult, but keeping their demon heads and preventing them from escaping would require considerable effort. That's why he had previously taken demons hostage and poisoned the bear demon.

At this moment, the Black Bear Demon King was seriously injured and the poison was taking effect, so he obviously couldn't escape. However, the Black Wind Wolf King was still in relatively good condition.

If these two demons were to work together, and the bear demon were willing to sacrifice himself to cover his teammates, then the Black Wind Wolf King, who was determined to escape, might be unstoppable.

But now, Gu Yan is causing the two demons to fight amongst themselves. Even when the black bear is about to give up, Gu Yan will lend a hand, pulling and deflecting the force, secretly helping him to neutralize many of the Black Wind Wolf King's counterattacks, preventing the black bear from being killed and forced to retreat too quickly by the wolf king.

Therefore, from the Black Wind Wolf King's perspective, it felt as if he was being suppressed by the combined forces of the two opponents. He secretly lamented his fate, regretting that he had been greedy for that sneak attack and rushed into the arena. Now, even if he wanted to run, he couldn't find an opening at all.

Furthermore, Gu Yan deliberately prevented Shen Qinghan from joining the fight. On one hand, he didn't want this woman to steal his kill, and on the other hand, he wanted her to guard the retreat route—in case the Wolf King managed to escape the battle despite being attacked by Gu Yan and the Bear Demon, Shen Qinghan would still be there to protect him.

In short, even if you gave him wings, he would definitely not be able to escape now, let alone if he were just a wolf.

Gu Yan's feat of subduing two mid-stage Qi-controlling demon kings single-handedly was achieved through a combination of wit and strength, with his martial prowess and mental cunning complementing each other.

The palm strikes whistled through the arena, their power surging and unleashing tremendous force.

After about fifty or sixty moves, the Black Bear Demon King, who only had one arm to use and was increasingly poisoned, gradually exhausted his strength, his punches became sluggish, and he could no longer hold on.

Seizing the opportunity, the Black Wind Wolf King unleashed its full demonic power, striking the bear demon squarely in the chest. With a muffled thud, the black bear's sternum shattered, and blood gushed from its throat.

However, the Black Bear Demon King knew he was doomed, so he didn't prepare for the attack at all, waiting for the moment when the opponent would deliver the fatal blow.

As the Black Wind Wolf King unleashed a palm strike, the Black Bear, having already channeled all his remaining power into a single punch, swung his left arm fiercely, aiming a punch with the ferocity of mutual destruction straight at the wolf demon's face.

The Black Wind Wolf King immediately raised his arm to block. But little did he expect that Gu Yan would use the Shifting Universe technique again, his left palm diagonally guiding the Black Bear's desperate punch midway, which was then gently redirected by this soft force, suddenly striking the Black Wind Wolf King in the chest.

The bear demon was already exhausted, and the force of this punch was limited. Although it hit a vital spot, it only made the wolf king's body tremble, without causing any real damage.

But in a battle between masters, life and death hang by a thread. The Black Wind Wolf King's body only stiffened for a fleeting moment, yet that was enough to be fatal. Gu Yan's longsword moved like lightning, its light as swift as a startled swan.

Although the wolf king tried his best to dodge, he was still half a step too late. With a soft "swoosh," the sword had already severed the wolf king's right leg.

The Black Wind Wolf King howled in pain, blood gushing from its right leg, and collapsed to the ground.

With his leg broken, he could no longer escape. Gu Yan succeeded in his attack, but did not pursue the wolf king. Instead, he continued his sword strike, slightly turning his wrist to connect with the "Demon-Slaying Shadow" of the Thirteen Swords of Subduing Demons. The sword light streaked across the sky like a cold star, piercing straight towards the black bear demon king, who was barely breathing and about to die.

The sword strike was swift and precise. The bear demon was completely drained of its strength and its consciousness was scattered, leaving it utterly unable to dodge. The sword pierced straight through its vital heart, severing its life force and sending it to reunite with its recently departed child.

With his leg severed, the Black Wind Wolf King had no hope of escaping. Therefore, Gu Yan didn't rush to kill him, but instead quickly finished off the bear demon. The bear demon was already on the verge of death after being struck by the wolf king's palm. If the sword strike was even a fraction of a second too slow, and the bear demon lost his last breath, wouldn't Gu Yan have wasted the potential points of a powerful demon?

If he had suffered such a huge loss in his previous life, he would have definitely restarted without hesitation. But since he can't restart now, Gu Yan figured he would lose so much that he wouldn't be able to sleep for at least a month.

Thankfully, the sword was replaced, and the potential points were obtained.

[Potential Points +2600]

comfortable.

As expected of a mid-stage Qi Control demon, this one bear demon has more potential points than the combined potential points of the Golden-Maned and Silver-Maned brothers who were just beginners in Qi Control. It's truly impressive. However, judging from their strength, a single bear demon is stronger than the two brothers combined, so it's not surprising.

Gu Yan sheathed his sword, then turned with a smile to the Black Wind Wolf King, whose leg had been broken.

Hopefully, this side will be more effective.

The Black Wind Wolf King had lost a leg and witnessed a powerful demon of the same realm perish before its eyes. Now, seeing this young man approaching with ill intent, a horrifying smile on his lips, and a morbid longing in his eyes, it was even more alarming.

Even this mighty demon king was momentarily terrified, dragging his broken leg as he desperately retreated, trying to get away from the sword-wielding demon king, shouting involuntarily, "You...you stay away from me!"

The sight left the yamen runners in the hall dazzled and disoriented.

Such a ferocious and terrifying demon king was forced to break his leg and crawl on the ground by a young man wielding a sword. This scene was both shocking and somewhat absurd.

But at that moment, an immense and unparalleled invisible force suddenly descended from the sky, like Mount Tai pressing down and enveloping the entire county government hall.

The chilling aura and boundless demonic power seemed to freeze the blood in everyone's veins, making them feel as if they were in an ice cave. A fear that seemed to originate from the very marrow of their bones surged through the hearts of the constables, rendering them unable to move their fingers.

A chilling voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, saying in a sinister tone, "Utterly unscrupulous, despicable and ruthless, as expected of the Demon Suppression Division, to kill two of my demon kings in an instant, truly impressive methods."

As the voice faded, the Black Wind Wolf King, who had been trapped in a desperate situation, instantly blazed with wild joy. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his legs, he struggled to his feet and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Master! Master, save me!"
