My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Li Xuancang was covered in wounds, but his eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and his killing intent was boiling.

"Is it my turn next?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he darted out quickly, and even though he was seriously injured, it did not affect his speed in the slightest.

Li Xuancang's eyes were bloodshot, and his blood was surging to the heavens.

His skin and flesh were taut, his bones were throbbing, and crimson energy surged and erupted from his pores.

"careful."

The old man Xuan Yin cried out in terror.

Having just unleashed a full-force attack, expending a great deal of their inner energy and power, the group found themselves in grave danger as Li Xuancang charged towards them.

Li Xuancang charged toward the burly barbarian man. The man was terrified, but knew he couldn't escape and had no choice but to fight to the death.

"what!"

The burly man swung his giant axe, bringing down immense force, and cleaved it down on his head.

The axe blade tore through the air, determined to shatter Li Xuancang's head and split his body.

In everyone's eyes, no one could withstand this heavy blow.

But Li Xuancang neither dodged nor avoided. His right arm muscles bulged, and the veins coiled like dragons and snakes. Relying purely on his physical strength, he unleashed a powerful punch straight at the front.

"Boom..."

Fists and axes clashed, and a deafening roar echoed across the battlefield.

A violent shockwave of qi exploded outwards, instantly clearing away the surrounding black mist, miasma, and rubble.

"Snap!"

With a piercing cracking sound, the giant axe, forged from black iron and tempered over time, shattered from the middle and exploded into fragments.

The barbarian's pupils constricted, his face filled with disbelief and terror.

Before he could recover from his shock, Li Xuancang strode forward, his body moving like lightning, his five fingers forming claws, instantly gripping the barbarian's neck.

Divine power erupts, physical body crushes.

"Die!"

Li Xuancang's face contorted as he suddenly exerted his strength.

"Bang!"

The burly man's neck was snapped, his body crashed heavily to the ground, his limbs twitched twice, and he died completely.

One of the four powerful figures was annihilated in an instant; all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The old man Xuan Yin was suddenly startled, and his expression changed drastically.

The tiger-headed demon's bloodthirsty pupils contracted instantly, and fear arose within them.

"What kind of freak is this?"

The old man Xuan Yin was so shocked that he lost his composure and became distraught.

With just his physical strength, he managed to kill a barbarian Qi Realm expert while being surrounded by several powerful figures. This kind of strength filled them with immense fear, and their bodies trembled.

Before the two could recover, Li Xuancang's killing intent continued unabated.

With a stomp of his foot, the ground cracked, and his figure suddenly flashed out, rushing straight at the fastest tiger-headed demon beside him.

The tiger demon was filled with shock and rage. It unleashed its full demonic power, black winds swirling around it, and its claws, sharp enough to tear through steel, viciously clawed at Li Xuancang's chest.

"Sizzle!"

The claws gripped Li Xuancang's body, but the expected disembowelment did not occur; instead, a series of sparks erupted.

"The demon race is nothing special."

Li Xuancang's eyes were icy cold. His left hand shot out with lightning speed, precisely grabbing the tiger demon's attacking front paw. With his right fist clenched, he aimed at the demon's head, lightly leaped, and unleashed a series of heavy punches.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive violent punches, each carrying the power to shake a mountain.

"roar!

The tiger-headed demon roared in agony, its massive body trembling violently as its head was smashed open, splattering demonic blood.

Veins bulged on Li Xuancang's forehead as he prepared to deliver a fatal punch to end the tiger demon's life.

Suddenly, the old man Xuan Yin let out a loud shout that exploded through the mountains.

"Li Xuancang, stop right now!"

Li Xuancang looked over, his pupils contracted, and his fist stopped.

At some point, Shen Qingshan was captured by the Xuan Yin Elder.

The old man Xuan Yin grabbed Shen Qingshan by the neck, ready to end Shen Qingshan's life the moment Li Xuancang made a move.

"Damn it!"

This scene caught Li Xuancang completely off guard.

He never expected that Shen Qingshan would return, and now he had been captured by the Xuan Yin Elder and used as a bargaining chip to threaten him.

Li Xuancang quickly regained his composure, grabbed the tiger demon that was about to retreat, and threatened the Xuan Yin Elder as well.

Fearing that Li Xuancang might suddenly erupt, the Old Man Xuanyin grabbed Shen Qingshan and the Three-Eyed Demon and stood side by side.

He looked smug and made a vicious threat.

"Li Qingshan, if you don't want him to die in front of you, then surrender."

The old man Xuan Yin believed that by capturing Shen Qingshan, he could threaten Li Xuancang into submission.

"Mmm, mmm mmm..."

Shen Qingshan's face flushed red as he struggled frantically, his eyes darting around, signaling Li Xuancang to ignore him.

Li Xuancang was worried about Shen Qingshan's safety, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to offer his neck for execution.

Giving up resistance would not only fail to rescue Shen Qingshan, but would also result in a pointless sacrifice.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang threw the tiger demon to the ground and stepped on its head.

"If you don't want it to die, hand over the person."

Faced with Li Xuancang's threat, the Xuan Yin Elder was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, using the demon race to threaten me, Li Xuancang, should I call you foolish or naive?"

The old man Xuan Yin, seemingly completely unconcerned about Shen Qingshan's life or death, began to exert force in his hands.

"I'll give you only three breaths."

Seeing this, Li Xuancang's eyes turned fierce, and he grabbed one of the tiger demon's forelimbs.

With a "crack," the tiger demon's forelimb was broken.

"You can give it a try."

Li Xuancang displayed cold-blooded ruthlessness and refused to back down.

"You, you..."

The old man Xuan Yin's expression changed, his eyes wide open. He never expected Li Xuancang to be so ungrateful, so indifferent to the life and death of his savior.

"Okay, I agree to the exchange."

After a moment's hesitation, the old man Xuan Yin, his expression grim, agreed to the hostage exchange.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt a great sense of relief.

Shen Qingshan saved his family members multiple times; he couldn't possibly stand by and watch them die. His previous behavior was just intentional.

"Let them come over here."

Li Xuancang captured the tiger demon, and the Xuan Yin Elder captured Shen Qingshan; they moved closer to each other.

"for you!"

The old man Xuan Yin struck Shen Qingshan with a palm, pushing him toward Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang, disregarding the old man Xuanyin, hurriedly helped Shen Qingshan up and anxiously inquired about his condition.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Shen Qingshan's face was pale, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes the next moment.

"puff!"

A sword pierced through Li Xuancang's chest, and Shen Qingshan showed no signs of weakness, his face now filled with ferocity.

"Bang!"

The sudden attack severely injured Li Xuancang. Before the shock in his eyes had faded, he endured the pain and punched Shen Qingshan away.

"You're not...not Shen Qingshan...who are you...?"

The moment Shen Qingshan made his move, he could no longer conceal the demonic aura emanating from his body, and Li Xuancang instantly knew that the person in front of him was not Shen Qingshan.

He was shocked, furious, and filled with grief and indignation.

Since the person in front of him is not Shen Qingshan, the real Shen Qingshan is probably in grave danger.

If he hadn't asked Li Xuancang to track down Elder Xuanyin, Shen Qingshan wouldn't have been killed. Li Xuancang was filled with endless killing intent and guilt.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to reunite with Shen Qingshan right away."

The old man Xuan Yin sneered repeatedly and quickly attacked Li Xuancang.

"This skin is really nice."

The "Shen Qingshan" who was knocked away by Li Xuancang tore off the human skin from his face, revealing a faceless face without any features.

"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The three-eyed demon shot out scarlet beams from its three eyes, then suddenly lunged at Li Xuancang.

Of all the enemies, the three-eyed demon's methods are the most unpredictable, making it impossible to defend against.

Its cultivation level is also the highest, enough to contend with the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

If it hadn't been for its full-force restraint, Li Xuancang would have already killed Xuan Yin Elder and the others.

"leave."

Li Xuancang was now seriously injured, and if he continued to fight, he would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and fled into the depths of the mountains.

His body can heal itself, and the daily increase in strength can accelerate the recovery of his injuries. As long as he hides for several hours, by the time dawn passes, his injuries will be mostly healed, and he will be fearless of his enemies.

"Chase him! Don't let him escape!"

Having witnessed Li Xuancang's terrifying combat power, Elder Xuanyin and the others regarded him as a major threat and could not let him return to the mountains, so they hurriedly chased after him.
