High Martial: I Grind Professions

Chapter 271: Chapter 166: Slaying a Great Sun with One Slash

With a thought, the power of his 3rd Layer Primordial Spirit—far exceeding that of an ordinary person—surged out from him like an invisible tide, silently spreading across the entire battlefield.

Every energy fluctuation, every wisp of an aura, every sliver of hidden killing intent was clearly fed back into his sea of consciousness.

Under the scan of his Primordial Spirit, every detail of the battlefield was laid bare.

Amidst the chaotic Energy Field and the muddled demonic energy, an exceptionally faint and peculiar spiritual fluctuation was instantly locked onto by Li Wen’s Primordial Spirit.

The source of the fluctuation was hidden among a group of fiercely roaring demons, cleverly positioned in a relatively core yet safe area of the Demon Race’s formation.

Li Wen’s gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield, landing a short distance behind the leading Wolf Demon, a warrior at the Peak of Bright Moon Realm.

It was a ”common” Fox Race general with a shapely female figure, demonic markings on her face, and only two fluffy tails.

She was making a show of attacking, swiping her claws. Her movements seemed ferocious, but she was actually carefully avoiding the desperate counterattacks of the Human Race defenders. Deep in her eyes was a sliver of calmness—and deliberate waiting—that was utterly out of place with the surrounding frenzy.

’So that’s how it is.’ Li Wen’s doubts instantly vanished.

If it had been any other God-Demon, they would never have seen through the Fox Demon’s disguise, who was deliberately suppressing her realm. Nor would they have realized that a Great Sun Realm demon, capable of easily crushing anyone in the Bright Moon Realm, was on the battlefield.

Once they fell into conventional combat thinking, assuming the strongest demons to have come through the Star Gate were just the two who had recently reached the Peak of Bright Moon Realm, the consequences of a sneak attack from this Fox Demon at the most critical moment would be unimaginable.

Wiping out the entire Human Race defense squad, including him, would be no difficult feat for her.

’But what is she waiting for?’ Li Wen moved. His figure transformed into a streak of purple lightning almost too fast for the naked eye to follow, instantly tearing through the outer defensive line and cutting into the dense formation of demons.

Wherever he passed, saber light cascaded like a waterfall and Thunder Serpents danced wildly. Whether it was Flying Star Level demon soldiers or ordinary Bright Moon Realm demon generals, they crumbled on contact, left dead or maimed. He forcibly plowed a bloody path of mangled flesh and scorch marks through the demon horde.

His target was clear and direct as he charged at high speed toward the hidden Fox Demon.

The resistance from the demons along his path was like paper before him. They couldn’t slow his advance in the slightest, only leaving a trail of mangled corpses in his wake.

’Could it be... she’s waiting for me to come to her?’ The thought flashed through Li Wen’s mind like lightning.

He instantly understood the Demon Race’s scheme.

The demons that had escaped three days ago must have reported back with intelligence on him.

The enemy had likely deduced that he was the Human Race prodigy who had turned the tide of battle in Nanzha County three days ago with his lightning-fast methods.

On the surface, this attack was a full-scale assault on the fortress, but in reality, their primary target was him, Li Wen.

They wanted to exploit his cognitive blind spot—the assumption that the Stargate could currently only allow beings up to the Bright Moon Realm to pass through—and have this disguised Great Sun Realm Fox Demon launch a fatal sneak attack at the most critical moment.

’But to think a mere Fox Demon who has just entered the Great Sun Realm can take my life... they’re underestimating me far too much.’ A cold smile touched the corners of Li Wen’s lips as he tightened his grip on his long saber.

The killing intent in his heart surged like a dark undercurrent beneath a frozen pool.

Now that the source of the threat was confirmed, all his doubts were gone.

With a flick of his wrist, his long saber let out a long, clear ring. An even fiercer and swifter arc of purple lightning blade qi swept out.

It instantly obliterated the seven or eight demon soldiers and two Bright Moon Realm demon generals who tried to block his path.

Lightning flared around Li Wen as his body became a streak of violet electricity tearing through the night sky, and he charged brazenly into the fray.

He didn’t charge directly at the hidden Fox Demon. Instead, he followed the rhythm of the battle, his saber light sweeping out like a bolt of silk.

Every swing of his saber carried the vast and profound intent of the Profound Dome Rainbow Silence Chapter, precise and deadly.

Star Rush flowed and thunderbolts flashed.

An ordinary Bright Moon Realm demon couldn’t withstand a single exchange with him. Even demons at the Peak of Bright Moon Realm were cut down as easily as rotten wood when he unleashed his full power.

He was like a phantom on the battlefield. Where he passed, demon blood splattered and bodies shattered. With his power alone, he tore an opening in the beleaguered Human Race defense line, leading the three remaining defensive God-Demons in a ferocious countercharge.

The direction of their charge was right toward the gathering of Peak of Bright Moon Realm demons, which included the hidden Fox Demon.

...

In the center of the battlefield, the Fox Demon named Chi Ling could barely contain the killing intent boiling inside her.

Mixed in among the other demons, she watched her target cut a swath of destruction toward her like a god of slaughter, an unstoppable force. The ecstatic joy in her heart was about to explode.

’He’s coming! He’s actually charging right for me without any suspicion! So reckless, so... eager to die!’

She forcibly suppressed her excitement, circulating her Demon Power to its absolute peak, and patiently waited for the perfect moment.

She didn’t use any charming arts; that would only expose her in front of a true expert. She was waiting for the physical distance between them to shrink to the absolute minimum—the perfect position to unleash her power in an instant.

Finally, just as she’d anticipated, Li Wen sent a bear demon blocking his path flying with a single slash. The distance between them was now so close they could almost hear each other breathe.

”Now!” A sharp glint flashed in Chi Ling’s eyes. She hesitated no longer!

She opened her mouth and spat viciously!

A thick, blood-like, pink mist surged from her mouth. It was so fast and spread so wide that it instantly enveloped both her and Li Wen.
