After a battle, exhaustion is an understatement, because it’s not just physical fatigue; the mental strain on the battlefield is just as severe. Your body and mind are equally worn out, but the battlefield doesn’t care if you’re tired or not. The fights are relentless, happening one after another, forcing everyone to grit their teeth and keep fighting.

Tan Shuangshuang’s battles over the past two days have been especially crucial because she is the only one capable of instantly killing those high-ranking demons found among the low-level cultivators. After these battles, Tan Shuangshuang is the most exhausted.

However, this intense fighting greatly benefits cultivation. Tan Shuangshuang’s recently broken-through cultivation level was quickly solidified, and in just half a month, she broke through again, now reaching the Martial Master Second Rank.

Over the next month, the Demon Clan’s attacks grew stronger and lasted longer each time. Everyone was on edge, having fought so many high-intensity battles that it was hard to relax even when returning to camp for rest.

Another battle unfolded on that same wasteland, where the ground had been so saturated with blood that it turned a deep crimson. The smell of blood lingered heavily, and even without active slaughter, the eerie intent to kill stained the wasteland.

When the cultivators and demons met, there was no need for a standoff; they almost immediately clashed fiercely. The sounds of battle cries and dying screams intertwined, transforming the battlefield into a scene reminiscent of Hell.

Newcomers to the battlefield, initially unaccustomed, now ignored the carnage on the wasteland and devoted themselves wholly to the fight.

Today’s battle was somewhat different. It started the same as usual, with groups searching for the stealthy high-ranking demons, driving them out once found and leaving them for Tan Shuangshuang to handle.

This time, they immediately spotted an ambushing high-level demon upon entering the battlefield. They used their usual tactics to drive the demon toward Tan Shuangshuang.

The process went smoothly; the demon was driven effortlessly toward Tan Shuangshuang, almost bafflingly easy given the demons’ increasing reluctance to approach her due to ambushes.

Suspecting something was amiss, Tan Shuangshuang immediately became alert. Before the demon could get close, she launched an attack. The Thousand Silk Entanglement struck out in all directions, sealing all escape routes for the demon. This strike aimed for a critical hit; even if the demon had some trick, this would force it to reveal its weaknesses.

Sure enough, the demon instantly responded, its body flashing with black and purple light, withstanding Shuangshuang’s full-force attack. It swiftly drew a giant axe and swung it down at Shuangshuang.

The demon was still some distance from Shuangshuang when it swung the axe. It was a phantom strike toward Shuangshuang from afar.

But the demon’s phantom strike wasn’t useless. As it swung the axe, a huge axe’s phantom appeared, seeming as real as a massive axe, aimed at her.

The phantom was fearsome, and as it slashed through the air, it carried a thick murderous aura comparable to a real massive axe. The air friction made a piercing shriek.

Tan Shuangshuang frowned. This demon was indeed unusual. Its attack strength was at least on the brink of Perfect Military General or Half-step Martial King. Such a high cultivation suddenly appearing here indicated it was targeting her.

Reflecting on the recent times, with everyone’s combined efforts, Shuangshuang had slain many high-ranking demons. Feeling threatened, the Demon Clan sent an expert to eliminate her.

Uncertain of the demon’s full power, Shuangshuang felt no urge to retreat. Instead, a Martial King level demon stirred her fighting spirit. Instantly, she gathered the Thousand Silk Entanglement to form a shield, blocking the incoming axe’s phantom.

In the moment Shuangshuang countered, the Half-step Martial King demon arrived at her side, swinging its axe again. The spirit-infused Thousand Silk Entanglement was exceedingly strong, instantly blocking the giant axe’s strike, while several strands silently appeared behind the demon, aiming straight for its back and neck.
