In Jingnan City, a demon-suppressing tower stands in the center of the city, overlooking all living beings.

The tower is towering, with nine stories high. The bluestone bricks have turned black and are covered with moss. Resentment fills the air, and countless souls reach out from the cracks in the walls, but they cannot break through this barrier and are eternally suppressed at the bottom of the tower.

The boy who walked to the Demon-Suppressing Tower felt a chill and couldn't help but tremble a few times, getting goosebumps all over his body.

"According to Lord Huang, Fairy Ji emerged from seclusion yesterday and told me to come directly to the Demon Suppression Tower to find her."

"Is this the legendary Demon-Suppressing Tower? I usually only see it from a distance, but it looks quite impressive up close."

"The resentment is so strong, it feels even stronger than the resentment in the city gate. Just how many demons and monsters are imprisoned in this place?"

"So, how am I supposed to get in?"

He took the initiative to step forward.

Even ordinary people would feel unwell, nauseous, and vomit if they entered the area within a two-mile radius. Some might even see ghosts and be so frightened that they would lose their souls.

Lu Cheng was clearly not in this category, but even someone like him who dealt with corpses every day felt a little uncomfortable.

Waves of demonic energy rushed towards him like ocean waves, but what Lu Cheng found a bit of a pity was that although this demonic energy was pure, he could not absorb it.

He walked to the door and knocked gently. As a "native local", he had naturally heard many legends and stories about the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

The tower is home to countless demons. When Jingnan City was first established, these immortal and indestructible demons were imprisoned and suppressed here.

He simply couldn't believe that people could live in a place like this...

creak-

The gate opened automatically without any wind.

This scene startled Lu Cheng, who immediately stepped back, only to find that nothing strange seemed to have happened.

"Could it be an invitation?"

Like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, despite the eerie and dangerous place, he didn't feel much threat and bravely went inside.

The next second, the door closed.

"Holy crap!"

Someone got anxious.

No matter how he pushed the stone door, it wouldn't budge. When he touched it, it felt thick and sticky, as if he were pushing not a stone, but the internal organs of some animal.

There was no way for him to get out.

He kept complaining, but now he could only wait and see what the other party was up to. There was nothing in the entire tower, and it was pitch black all around, with only a faint light in the center.

Following the only light, they walked forward and discovered that what was emitting the light was actually a sword.

A three-foot-long sword, pure white and without any superfluous decoration.

"This is……"

His brows were furrowed.

He recognized him.

Since awakening his superpower, he has discovered that his memory has become incredibly powerful. He can replay any experience or sight he has ever had in his mind like watching a movie.

If I remember correctly, this was the sword that the white-clad fairy used when she stepped on my shoulder and slew countless infected demons.

"How did I end up here?"

A question flashed through his mind, but he still reached out and grasped the longsword. Instantly, a cool sensation rushed over him, dispelling all the excess energy in his body!

Many of the tragically deceased souls, unwilling to leave, bared their fangs and brandished their claws, their faces filled with resentment. Under the sword energy, they were reduced to ashes, and even the impurities left over from the previous body tempering were expelled from their bodies in an instant.

Every part of his body was scraped by the sharp sword energy, from his meridians to his bones, from his dantian to his sea of ​​consciousness, and all sorts of messy, useless things and evil energy in his body were dispelled.

Lu Cheng had never felt so refreshed in his life, so clear-headed that he could hear his own heartbeat and the sound of his blood flowing.

"What is this?"

Shocked.

He had never imagined that a weapon could reach such a level. While he was still immersed in the exhilarating feeling of being detached from the three realms, an extremely slight movement made his eyes sharpen instantly!

"who!"

He gave a low shout.

He was certain he hadn't misheard. That brief moment of perfect harmony with nature gave Lu Cheng an unprecedented sense of confidence. The movement in the darkness only showed a slight indication that it was heading his way. Without a word, he pulled his longsword out of the crack in the floor.

Clang—

A cold glint flashed by.

The swift and decisive strike cleaved the monster that was about to attack from behind in two, as easily as cutting tofu.

Another faint sound came from the surroundings. Without fear or apprehension, his eyes darted around to quickly pinpoint the location, but the pitch blackness around him rendered his vision useless.

Several people had already attacked from the shadows. Faced with the rapid footsteps, he didn't try to see with his eyes anymore, but instead closed them.

"Um?"

From the darkness, it seemed as if someone's incredible voice could be heard.

"One, two, three... six."

"Left front one, left back two, right hand one, behind two."

A tiny sea of ​​stars appeared in my mind.

Everyone around him was within his sea of ​​stars, appearing as faint specks of light, moving rapidly. He didn't know what this was, but he knew that his mind was clearer than ever before. If there were any high-level cultivators here, they would probably be astonished.

Because this is the sea of ​​consciousness.

Logically, only those who have successfully established their foundation and have a stable base have a chance to open their sea of ​​consciousness. Some with slightly less talent might have to wait until they form their core. No one would have imagined that a cultivator who has just entered the initial stage could possess such supernatural abilities.

The familiar angles and positions from which the demons surrounded him surprised Lu Cheng, who already guessed what it was.

"Exactly the same."

"It was exactly the same as the attack I encountered from both sides at the entrance of the mortuary in the south of the city that day, and even the speed at which the two demons rushed out from behind was exactly the same."

"It seems it's not a coincidence."

At this moment, Lu Cheng was extremely calm. His actions were very bold, as he completely surrendered his body to his instincts. Memories of that day flooded back, recalling the moment the white-clad fairy appeared.

Every move, every sword strike, every action, from the initial attack to the movement and the final strike, the six demons had already surrounded Lu Cheng and were less than half a zhang away. Yet he remained unmoved, holding his sword in reverse. His heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment, time seemed to slow down, and finally...

He opened his eyes again!

The first sword strike was a suicidal stab to the back, piercing through the demon.

The second sword thrusts straight in, the third sword is withdrawn, the fourth sword is a leap forward, the fifth sword is a close-range, easy slit to the neck, and the final sixth sword is a pain that pierces to the very core!

There was no hesitation or sloppiness. The movements might be a little distorted, not as standard as Ji Xiaoxiao's, but the moves and ideas were perfectly replicated. Even someone as strict as Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't find fault with it and couldn't help but utter three words.

"Good material."

The boy then awoke as if from a dream, his body drenched in cold sweat. He then noticed the several corpses on the ground and was momentarily incredulous.

"Is this really something I can do? I actually killed six demons of the same level..."

Just as the boy was lost in thought, the fairy in white finally descended from the sky and stood quietly in front of him.
