The night was like a curtain.
Chen Chun did not rest, sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly recovering from his injuries by circulating the Flame Heart Skill.
This time, the injuries were severe; it would take several days to fully recover.
His current situation was more dangerous than Qin An's; many demonic creatures in Ding County wanted him gone, forcing him to seize every moment.
At this moment, a gust of wind sounded.
Chen Chun smelled a foul stench and opened his eyes, alertly picking up the long saber by the bed.
"There's a demonic creature!"
Although he had not joined the Evil Extermination Bureau, as an undercover agent for the bureau, Chen Chun possessed ample knowledge.
The foul stench indicated a demonic presence; the creatures had targeted him.
The crisis was imminent.
Chen Chun took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the long saber, and quietly pushed open the door.
The scene before him left him stunned.
Qin An was holding a dagger, sitting in the room drinking tea, looking remarkably calm.
Under the dim light, a corpse of a constable with half its body eaten lay on the ground, its ghastly expression extremely terrifying.
Outside the room, two giant figures stood; their beaks reflected a cold glint under the moonlight.
Feiyun Gorge, Eagle demons!
Chen Chun immediately gripped the long saber and stepped outside, clenching his teeth as he stood beside Qin An, with sweat covering his forehead.
He sensed the creature's presence.
It was the aura of the Body Storage Realm.
Among the two Eagle demons before him, one had already reached the Body Storage Realm, enough to wipe them out.
Chen Chun wanted to speak, but before he could, Eagle Grandmaster Two sneered and spoke.
"Facing Master Two and still calmly drinking tea, you butcher are quite interesting."
"Third Master, go take his head and avenge Old Eight."
From behind, Eagle Grandmaster Three laughed wickedly and spread its wings, rushing towards Qin An.
During battle, there's no room for chatter; in the blink of an eye, life-and-death crises unfold.
Chen Chun was about to speak when Qin An kicked him back into the room, his voice echoed in his ears.
"Don't get in the way."
Me?
In the way?
I have the Qi Storage Realm strength, which is considered quite good in Ding County.
With the enemy strong and us weak, having an extra ally is beneficial, reducing lots of pressure.
But why is Qin An so arrogant?
Chen Chun used his limbs to get up: "I'll help you."
No matter how arrogant Qin An was, at this critical moment, he had to step forward and assist.
But when he got up and reached the door, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.
On the ground, Eagle Grandmaster Three's corpse was twitching, with blood splattered everywhere.
Qin An was holding Eagle Grandmaster Three's feathers, slowly wiping the blade, his expression incredibly calm.
A demonic creature at the peak of Qi Storage, killed by Qin An just like that?
Chen Chun couldn't believe it.
Not long ago, when he killed Eagle Grandmaster Eight, Qin An still needed some effort; why was it so easy today?
Eagle Grandmaster Two looked coldly at the corpse on the ground and said: "Body Storage Realm."
Chen Chun abruptly looked at Qin An.
He had reached the Body Storage Realm?
But wasn't he at the Qi Storage Realm not long ago? When did he advance?
Could it be he always hid his strength?
Qin An raised the dagger: "I killed your brother, and you're not angry?"
Eagle Grandmaster Two licked its lips: "I was very angry, but thinking that the flesh and blood of the Body Storage Realm will be mine alone, I actually hope he dies."
Qin An shook his head: "Truly cold-blooded beyond measure."
Eagle Grandmaster Two stepped into the room.
Its figure was so large that when it bent over to enter, it seemed like a shadow was pressing down, blocking all the moonlight.
As Eagle Grandmaster Two stepped in, Qin An moved.
The dagger covered with ice and fire power, fiercely stabbing towards Eagle Grandmaster Two, accompanied by piercing wind sound.
Eagle Grandmaster Two was slightly stunned, then angrily scolded: "A little creature that doesn't understand martial virtue."
In such beautiful scenes, with both being people of the Body Storage Realm, rare in Ding County, to attack without notice, truly spoils the scenery.
"Clang!"
A clear cry sounded.
Eagle Grandmaster Two held the dagger with claws that shone with cold light: "Master Two will savor you well!"
The answer was a fist.
Covered with ice and fire energy, the fist hammered towards Eagle Grandmaster Two's chest.
"Boom!"
Eagle Grandmaster Two retreated several steps, its feathers glinting with cold light: "Such power."
Qin An raised his brows: "Nothing?"
Not far away, Chen Chun shouted: "After reaching the Body Storage Realm, a demonic creature can refine its innate attributes; it refined its feathers, tough as steel."
Qin An suddenly understood: "I see."
No wonder this Eagle demon was confident to come alone, not only because of its strength but also relying on its set of feathers.
Eagle Grandmaster Two spread its wings and lunged at Qin An: "Master Two's defense is unmatched, how can you little creature break it?"
The claws moved like the wind, with overwhelming power threatening to pierce Qin An's chest.
Yet at this moment, Qin An's hand holding the dagger suddenly accelerated.
The move was not only fast but also with expansive force.
Chen Chun suddenly realized that his family's Wind-breaking Saber Skill seemed to change in Qin An's hands.
Eagle Grandmaster Two screamed miserably.
The dagger actually penetrated the feathers, causing it to be injured.
Its claws missed, unable to capture the dagger's trajectory.
This saber skill was not only wide but also incredibly swift.
Qin An's voice was like a nightmare, haunting Eagle Grandmaster Two's heart: "You're just entering the Body Storage, only have the realm, but everything else is Qi Storage, and yet you dare come to die?"
With that, Qin An extended his left hand, restraining Eagle Grandmaster Two's neck, continuously stabbing the same spot with the dagger.
Eagle Grandmaster Two struggled to free itself, but the ice-fire energy seemed all-pervasive, at times chillingly cold, at times scorching hot.
Each time the dagger plunged, Eagle Grandmaster Two twitched.
Gradually, Eagle Grandmaster Two stopped twitching, lying on the ground, its body slightly cold.
Qin An put away the dagger, calmly bent down to butcher.
Eagle Grandmaster Two was strong, but its realm was the same as Qin An's.
Qin An's Broken Goose Saber Skill was of the Body-Encompassing Realm, while Eagle Grandmaster Two still used the Qi Storage set, naturally not an opponent.
In the dead of night, within the room, only the sound of Qin An butchering filled the air, sending chills down the spine.
Before long, Qin An found the Blood Crystal, circulated the Water and Fire Yin Yang Skill, and stored the Blood Crystal within.
Chen Chun swallowed, not daring to speak further.
He suddenly felt some fear towards Qin An.
The person before him, both in strength and methods, surpassed him too much.
All of his earlier worries were needless.
Qin An wiped the blood off the dagger and sheathed it at his waist, glancing at Chen Chun.
Chen Chun instinctively lowered his head, feeling like being stared at by a fierce tiger, not daring to meet Qin An's gaze.
Qin An pondered for a moment and said: "Tomorrow, I will go out for the whole day; you will come with me."
With danger approaching repeatedly, Qin An urgently needed to unlock a new profession and learn Green Bird Leap.
As for Chen Chun, his identity was special; if protected well, it could save a lot of trouble later.
Chen Chun hurriedly nodded.
Qin An returned to the room.
As for the bloodstains in the room, naturally, Chen Chun would handle them.
...
The following day.
Qin An and Chen Chun went out, heading towards the streets of Ding County.
Today, Qin An must unlock the new profession and practice it to level three.
