Then there was a loud snap.
Yuyu didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy. With just a scream, his head was shattered.
[You have killed a Qi Refining Peak Fox Demon, Cultivation +120]
Accompanied by the system notification, Lin Heng was already infinitely close to Postnatal Fourth Layer, only a hundred cultivation points away from breaking through.
He turned his gaze towards the Old Demonic Fox still fleeing madly, just as the Old Demonic Fox saw his smiling face and the scene of him casually obliterating Yuyu.
Fear gripped the Old Demonic Fox's heart.
This Daoist is terrifying!
He looks so harmless, yet when he acts, it's swift and ruthless.
He didn't even give a chance to plead, just smashed with one palm.
Such decisive killing.
Made it afraid!
But what frightened it more was the opponent's speed, like a raging storm.
Even though it burned its essence blood to flee with all its might, it couldn't stop the gap between them from closing ever so quickly!
There was not a single chance to shake off the opponent.
Fortunately, Yuyu's death bought it a little time.
In its desperate escape, it finally saw that abandoned City God Temple in the distance, emanating a faint red glow under the moonlight.
"Lord City God, save me!!!"
"Save me!!!"
The Old Demonic Fox let out a despairing scream.
Its sharp voice, laced with tremors of fear, sounded particularly chilling in the desolate wilderness of night.
From all around, many ghostly green flames emerged, looking over here with puzzled gazes.
From within the abandoned City God Temple, two beams of majestic red light were cast.
Upon seeing that it was the Fox Demon being pursued by a Daoist,
The eyes of the Evil Spirit City God filled with a hint of astonishment.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a Daoist with cultivation."
"And this one actually has a Postnatal Realm?"
"Interesting."
The Evil Spirit City God's mouth curved into a playful smile.
Speaking of which, on the full moon night in a few days, he also needed to go out and kill a Daoist.
This one, just in time to serve as an appetizer.
With that thought, the Evil Spirit City God's form gradually manifested, over two meters tall with overwhelming presence, his red, god-like face radiating majesty.
He walked out of the abandoned temple, speaking in an eerie and majestic tone:
"What impudent Daoist dares to cause trouble in the City God's domain?"
The majestic voice caused all the ghostly flames in the wilderness to shrink back fearfully.
Some mountain spirits and wild monsters directly prostrated themselves!
And the Old Demonic Fox, seeing the Great Demon appear, was so excited that it shed tears.
This Demon City God, though having cultivated for only three hundred years, had in its early years gained some opportunities, its cultivation realm higher than many evil spirits that had practiced for five hundred years!
It was the only Innate Realm Great Demon in this area!
And unlike other demons, this Lord City God had a Secret Treasure that made him fearless of the demon-exorcising magical artifacts from the Buddhist Dao!
Many monks and Daoists had died at his hands!
Because of this.
Even though Chang City's Spirit Suppression Bureau knew he was entrenched here, dispatching evil spirits to cause chaos all around.
They were still helpless!
Even the Zen Spirit Temple, with its high monks, didn't want to entangle with him.
It was obvious how powerful he was!
The Daoist behind it, although terrifying,
was ultimately insignificant before this being!
Seeing Lord City God appear, the Old Demonic Fox's fear gradually dissipated, replaced by unhidden malice and resentment.
"Damn Daoist, ruining my plans."
"You are dead!"
It said fiercely, turning its head.
But as soon as it turned, it saw a green bamboo shoot, like an arrow, piercing through the air towards it.
"No, don't!!"
The Old Demonic Fox's pupils contracted sharply, a look of immense dread appeared on its face, and it screamed.
It was nailed to the ground, its head pierced by the bamboo.
The Old Demonic Fox's expression gradually solidified, its round eyes filled only with despair and unwillingness.
It never expected.
That after all its effort to flee to the City God's territory, it would still face the fate of being executed.
If given another chance to start over.
It vowed that upon seeing a Daoist, regardless of truth or falsehood, it would run away on sight!
...
[You have killed a Postnatal First-Layer Fox Demon, Cultivation +300!]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to Postnatal Fourth Layer!]
With the system notification, a surge of majestic spiritual qi flowed into every part of his body.
The spiritual power consumed during his journey using the Near and Far technique was fully restored, and even further increased.
Lin Heng felt his whole body filled with power, and he couldn't help but smile contentedly.
However.
On the other side, the Evil Spirit City God wasn't as pleased.
At this moment, its face was ashen.
The opponent had ignored his warning and killed the Fox Demon right in front of him, a clear act of contempt!
Having been respected for too many years, it couldn't help but ignite in raging fury.
"Audacious Daoist, how dare you act out in front of the City God?"
The Evil Spirit City God shouted in fury, his rolling sound waves like thunder, making ears ring terribly.
The evil spirits around instantly trembled in fear.
Some wandering souls without consciousness were directly obliterated by the roar of the Great Demon!
The horror of Innate Power was evident!
However, at this moment, Lin Heng's expression was peculiar.
The being in front of him, tall in stature with a commanding presence, and a fiery red face, looked strikingly similar to the deity's statue in the City God Temple.
But this being exuded an overwhelming demon aura!
"Wait a minute..."
Lin Heng thought deeply, his eyes flashing with surprise.
This guy, could he be the Demon City God the Shadow Soldiers mentioned last night?
With this thought, Lin Heng looked the being up and down, becoming more convinced of his guess, feeling a bit amused.
"Oh, it's indeed a small world..."
Lin Heng sighed inwardly.
He originally thought it would take a couple more days before encountering this guy.
Who'd have thought that chasing two Fox Demons would lead him directly to its territory, what a coincidence!
The Evil Spirit City God gazed at Lin Heng with regal authority, watching the Daoist's face change expressions, it was certain that the opponent was already intimidated.
At this moment, it smirked coldly.
It proudly raised its chin.
Its towering body allowed it to gaze down at the opponent, saying:
"I am the City God, upon meeting a deity, why do you not bow?"
Lin Heng paused, coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh at the showy stance.
"What kind of thing are you to dare call yourself the City God?"
Lin Heng said disdainfully.
"You!"
Hearing this, the Evil Spirit City God instantly became furious.
Having entrenched himself in the City God Temple for three hundred years.
It had long regarded itself as the true City God, yet this Daoist dared to be so disrespectful!
This provoked its extreme anger!
"Damn Daoist, do you know how many Daoists have died by my hand?"
Its tone turned cold, with killing intent flooding.
To this, Lin Heng simply raised his hand, with thunder rapidly forming in his palm.
The Evil Spirit City God recoiled in shock.
Before it could react, Lin Heng coldly cursed:
"Trying to put on a show in front of me?"
He finished, then hurled a Palm Thunder forward.
