Swoosh!
Before the demon officer's mocking laughter could even fade, a sudden whistling sound pierced the air!
“You have already chosen your path to death.”
With a flip of Qimeng's palm, a demonic blade condensed from black energy materialized out of thin air!
In the next second, her figure vanished!
Squelch!!
The long black blade, carrying a fierce wind pressure, thrust straight toward the Advanced Rank officer's forehead!
“Not good! Watch out!!”
An Extraordinary Rank commander nearby went pale. Dodging on instinct, he swung his great axe up to block in midair!
Clang!!
Sparks flew in all directions!
The Extraordinary Rank commander blocked Qimeng's flying, thrusting long black blade in midair!
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the Qimeng in front of him actually curled her lips into a smile. Her pretty face turned into a blurry afterimage and dispersed into nothingness!
“What?! An afterimage?!”
Realizing something was wrong, the Extraordinary Rank commander suddenly spun around after his initial shock!
However, it was already too late!
Squelch!!
The pitch-black long blade pierced straight into the Advanced Rank officer's forehead!
Clean through!
The Extraordinary Rank commander hurriedly turned back to slash in a rage, but as his axe came down, it only struck another afterimage!
Meanwhile, Qimeng's figure had already retreated to her original spot, looking as if she had never moved at all!
Ruthless! Clean!
“Gu... ga?!”
Only now did the surrounding demons finally react!
In their eyes, the Advanced Rank officer who had been laughing arrogantly just a second ago now had a hole pierced through his forehead. His eyes bulged out, and he collapsed to the ground, dead on the spot!
As for the brief life-and-death clash just now, they hadn't even been able to see it clearly!
“Presumptuous! You wretched brat, die for this general!!”
Furious, the Extraordinary Rank commander swung down his mana-infused great axe with a thunderous roar!
Qimeng's footsteps were light as she activated 【Hazy Moon Step】, leaving behind a series of solid afterimages on the spot.
Those afterimages could actually swing their blades to counterattack!
If the Extraordinary Rank commander ignored them, he would be slashed, forcing him to slow down to defend.
He split an afterimage in half with a single axe swing, his teeth grinding in frustration.
“What a cunning tree demon! Can you only dodge?!”
“Well, if this lord doesn't dodge, what excuse will you make then?”
After most magical beasts stepped into the Extraordinary Rank, their greatest advantage was nothing more than their extraordinary physical constitution.
Qimeng was well aware of this, but she wasn't the least bit afraid!
Gripping her hilt tightly, she met him head-on, and their weapons clashed violently!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After just a few exchanges, the Extraordinary Rank commander clashing blades head-on with Qimeng was filled with an inexplicable horror!
Others might not be able to see it clearly, but as the one fighting, he saw it all too well.
The spell applied to this tree demon girl was a composite enhancement magic centered around 【Blood Boiling】, which perfectly fused the tyrant's fury of the 【Violent Beast Bear】 with the shadowless swift blades of the 【Demonic Blade Tiger】!
No.
These were merely the three he could recognize based on his experience!
The mana trajectories flowing around her body actually stacked more than five traits at the same time!
This was precisely Qimeng's newly researched auxiliary composite skill.
【Myriad Manifestations: Blood Boiling - Tyrant Shadowless】
Not only did it push her physical explosive power and speed to the limit, but it also doubled her base strength, stretching her physical power and body durability to the point of nearly tearing apart.
Furthermore, her blade-swinging speed directly broke through air resistance, reaching a level that was impossible to capture with the naked eye!
What filled this demon officer with even more utter dread was that this little tree demon actually had the mind to eat magic fruits in the middle of battle?!
No, that wasn't right!
Those weren't ordinary fruits at all, but over a dozen unknown stat-boosting magic fruits that she was casually scarfing down like snacks!
Under the dual boost of multiple composite traits and the stat-boosting magic fruits, the power the girl erupted with actually suppressed him, a demon with an extraordinary physical constitution!
And whenever his axe finally managed to strike Qimeng with great difficulty, a crystalline, diamond-shaped shard bearing wood-rock patterns would light up on her body.
The sheer shockwave of the recoil directly numbed his arms!
“How is this possible?!”
The Extraordinary Rank commander grew more alarmed the longer they fought.
“An Advanced Rank magical beast who hasn't even tempered their body with mana... how can she bear the burden of so many stacked, overloading traits?!”
“Don't think you're the only one who can take drugs! This general has them too!!”
With a fierce look in his eyes, he grabbed a handful of red potions and swallowed over a dozen of them in one gulp!
Although the effects of Advanced Rank potions were very limited for an Extraordinary Rank, taking such a massive dose still caused the medicinal power to erupt within his body!
His physical constitution was pushed to its absolute peak. His muscles and bones roared, and his strength skyrocketed to an outrageous degree!
Yet even so, Qimeng's strength still did not lose to his!
“Damned brat! Taste this general's demon trait, 【Death Storm】!!”
The Extraordinary Rank commander roared violently. His bones swelled and popped as he swung his great axe, turning into a death storm that tore all of Qimeng's afterimages to shreds with a wide-range attack!
“I hit the real body! This general is going to mince you into meat!!”
In the next second, the Extraordinary Rank commander's wild laughter abruptly stopped.
Because the Qimeng he had sliced to pieces didn't spray blood. Instead, she turned into refracting water vapor and flying flower fragments that dispersed dreamily into the surroundings!
【Myriad Manifestations: Water Splendor and Flying Flowers】!
“What?!”
Before the Extraordinary Rank commander could even react, the water vapor and ice crystal storm wrapped around his body in reverse, dragging him into the nearby dense forest!
“What happened?!”
“Lord Commander was dragged into the forest!”
Everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes fixed on the pitch-black forest.
A moment later.
Rustle... rustle...
The sound of footsteps treading on grass echoed.
Qimeng walked out step by step, dragging the lifeless corpse of the Extraordinary Rank commander with one hand.
The scene was dead silent.
The demons were completely dumbstruck! Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
“Dead?! A dignified Extraordinary Rank officer actually died just like that?!”
“Slaying an Extraordinary Rank from the body of an Advanced Rank magical beast... in the demon territories, this is definitely the prototype of a future Demon King candidate!”
“But does this tree demon have a screw loose? She clearly already got the Demon Prince's token! Wouldn't it be great to just go claim the five hundred Advanced magic stones and a noble title to live a carefree life? Why on earth did she have to make it like this?!!”
The watching demon bounty hunters were both envious and frustrated. That was the immense wealth they could only dream of!
This Dark Tree Demon actually didn't know how to cherish it!
What a waste! How heartbreaking!
The arrogant Demon Prince also snapped out of his shock, a look of intense desire bursting in his eyes!
“Good! Very good! Unnamed tree demon lady, this prince acknowledges your strength!”
The Demon Prince burst into laughter and directly offered an irresistible, heavy bargain.
“As long as you join my banner and help me slay that wild demon, the commander position of the officer you just killed will be yours!”
“At the same time, this prince will grant you a title of nobility and specially permit you to enter the gates of the 【Demon King City】 with me! This is an honor that only those with titles can enjoy!”
Entering the Demon King City!
This was an admission ticket that countless demons dreamed of, one they could never even touch despite struggling their entire lives!
However, facing this supreme invitation, Qimeng merely tossed the corpse in her hand aside. She glanced at the Demon Prince as if looking at a fool and sneered mockingly.
“Sorry, but this lord has no interest. After all, every single one of you is going to die here today!”
“Arrogant! As expected of a wild demon who doesn't know what's good for her. Kill her for this prince!”
The Demon Prince's face darkened, and his elite soldiers and officers swarmed forward!
