Huff!
Inhale!
The five viscera emitted light, surging with pure life essence.
The Essence Qi Grinding Disc turned slowly, grinding the tide-like essence qi of heaven and earth before being absorbed by every inch of bone.
Life essence is the intrinsic source of the human body.
The essence qi of heaven and earth is the energy that drifts between heaven and earth.
One is the root, the other is the nourishment, with the human body as the trunk and branches!
Absorbing the essence qi of heaven and earth to replenish one’s own source, while also strengthening one’s viscera, blood, and bones!
On the riverbank, Qin Zheng closed his eyes to cultivate, continually advancing his realm’s enhancement.
After understanding the situation on Mo Xu Mountain with Situ Qing and his group, he didn’t stay long and headed in the direction of Mo Xu Mountain again.
However, unlike his previous frantic escape.
This time, he was on a quest to slay demons on the mountain!
With a change in purpose, his state of mind naturally shifted, and so did Qin Zheng’s pace.
There was no need to continue relentlessly without rest, and no need to always worry about the potential dangers lurking behind.
So, Qin Zheng cultivated while he traveled, gradually nearing the location of Mo Xu Mountain.
Two days later, Qin Zheng arrived at the edge of Mo Xu Mountain.
Looking up, he saw an endless expanse of high mountains, which like a ferocious beast, swallowed people under the cover of night.
Qin Zheng’s eyes focused slightly, and he didn’t enter directly, but instead set up a campfire at the foot of the mountain to prepare to rest and regroup.
Above the roaring campfire, several wild chickens and rabbits were being roasted.
Qin Zheng gazed at the flames, slightly lost in thought.
He hadn’t come to this place unprepared; he had already inquired clearly about the situation on Mo Xu Mountain.
And with the explanation from Situ Qing and the others, he also had a clear understanding of the martial arts of this land.
Starting with the realms, apart from the first realm of the martial arts that includes skin, flesh, tendons, and bones.
Further up, there are the Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and National Martial Saint!
The higher you go, the fewer in number they become.
A Grandmaster, in a land of a million people, there are only a few hundred.
Great Grandmasters are even rarer, with only a dozen in a state!
And the National Martial Saint, in the whole Great Jin, there are but eighteen!
Thus, after ascending to Grandmaster, one would become a top-tier martial arts expert within all of Great Jin!
The monsters within Mo Xu Mountain, their strongest do not exceed the realm of Grandmaster and none surpass it.
Moreover, if there were Great Grandmaster-level monsters in Mo Xu Mountain, Cam Renp would have long since taken action to eradicate this dangerous place.
Thinking this, Qin Zheng also recalled the shocked expressions of Situ Qing and his team.
These Demon-Slaying Colonels thought he was a disciple from a martial arts sect out on a journey.
But when he asked them what seemed like common-sense questions,
They realized that he was but a Loose Cultivator Martial Artist.
Consequently, Situ Qing immediately extended an invitation with great enthusiasm, hoping he would join Cam Renp and the ranks of the Demon Slayers.
Demon Slayers, backed by Great Jin, possess various martial arts treasures and medicines that are hard to find or highly prized in the martial world.
As long as one has enough merit, one can exchange for them.
Qin Zheng was somewhat tempted at first.
But upon closer consideration, he realized that these things were not easy to come by.
Right now, he enjoyed the freedom of living unconstrained; accepting the role of a Demon Slayer would be like putting shackles on himself.
And if he wanted martial arts treasures and medicines, he could cooperate with these Demon-Slaying Colonels.
He would lend a hand to help them slay monsters, and they would help him find the martial arts he desired.

Their means and resources are always somewhat more comprehensive and abundant than his.
This was the method Qin Zheng proposed after much deliberation.
Although Situ Qing and the others felt regretful, they soon cheered up upon further consideration.
In this way, they would essentially have a Grandmaster as their support.
Each time they carried out missions and encountered difficult beasts, all they needed to do was call for Qin Zheng.
By doing so, they would gain merit, and Qin Zheng would also obtain what he wanted.
A mutually beneficial arrangement, the best of both worlds.
Therefore, the agreement between Qin Zheng and Situ Qing’s group was hastily reached.
However, this time around, Qin Zheng’s trip to Mo Xu Mountain was not bound by a deal with them.
He had to slay Lord Bear, and it was inevitable that he would need to kill the monsters under his command.
By that time, mountains of corpses and seas of blood would be too much for Situ Qing and the others to handle in terms of merit!
The fire flickered, the dripping fat sizzled with a whisper.
The rich aroma of meat began to drift in all directions.
Meanwhile, wisps of faint demonic energy also wafted into Qin Zheng’s nostrils.
“Hahaha!
How could there be such a foolish member of the human race, daring to come to Mo Xu Mountain alone!”
A leopard as robust as an ox stepped out slowly from the woods.
Its sinuous muscles and coin-like skin exuded a robust beauty.
But the foul stench that came with the leopard’s opening of its mouth also filled the air.
Qin Zheng remained calm, completely unmoved as if he hadn’t heard the Leopard Demon’s approach.
And as the Leopard Demon stepped out, a set of eyes glowing faintly started to appear within the surrounding woods.
Upon close inspection, they were also leopards, each emanating the same fishy stench!
Without a sound, these Leopard Demons had surrounded Qin Zheng completely!
Without receiving a response, the Leopard Demon’s eyes grew colder.
It gradually moved closer towards Qin Zheng’s back, continuing to speak, “I’ve had enough of dead human flesh.
Today, I shall feast on living flesh to change the pace!
Roar!”
As soon as it finished speaking, the leopard’s form suddenly lunged forward, its mouth wide open to bite at Qin Zheng’s neck.
However, just at that moment, a wide and hefty greatsword appeared abruptly, followed by a powerful force it could not resist, instantly slamming it to the ground.
Meanwhile, the sharp blade landed squarely on its neck.
The bone-chilling coldness of the blade’s energy seemed to penetrate its marrow.
It seemed as if any sign of resistance would cause the greatsword to fall without hesitation, sending its head rolling to the ground.
Witnessing this scene, the surrounding forest quickly stirred as the leopards that had come together fled.
“I ask, you answer,” he commanded.
Qin Zheng held the Ghost Head Greatsword in one hand, with which he intimidated the leopard demons on the ground and around him, while he picked up roasted chicken from the campfire with the other.
He ate the meat while speaking.
The leopard demon now knew it had encountered a tough opponent!
Anyone from the human race who could come to Mo Xu Mountain alone was certainly not ordinary!
So, it changed its attitude immediately, and like a cat, cautiously turned over to expose its belly to Qin Zheng.
And it said in a fawning manner, “Sir, ask your questions, and I will answer anything I know!”
Seeing the leopard demon behaving so humbly, Qin Zheng’s expression remained unmoved as he slowly asked, “Where is Lord Bear located?”
At the mention of ‘Lord Bear’, the leopard demon’s face changed drastically.
In the past few days, Lord Bear’s rage was something every monster in Mo Xu Mountain knew about.
Now this member of the human race had come knocking, specifically asking for Lord Bear.
Obviously, the person before it was the one who had killed Lord Bear’s son and lover!
In an instant, the leopard demon trembled all over, overwhelmed by fear.
Lord Bear’s lover was a genuine human Grandmaster!
Within Mo Xu Mountain, only slightly less powerful than Lord Bear, Toad Lord, and Eagle Lord—the three Great Demons.
He was truly the fourth strongest in Mo Xu Mountain!
Yet such a powerful figure might very well have died at the hands of the human before it!
At this moment, the leopard demon discarded all impractical thoughts from its mind.
Such as pretending to be obedient, letting the human before it lower his guard, then pouncing to bite through his neck and achieve a counter-kill.
It only hoped that this human would spare its life and let it live!
Without hesitation, it said, “Lord Bear is powerful and occupies the best location in Mo Xu Mountain.”
“If you go uphill from here and travel for sixty li, you’ll find a cave halfway up the mountain.”
About Lord Bear’s location, it did not hide a thing.
Firstly, it feared that this human Grandmaster would detect any deceit and kill it in anger.
Secondly, Lord Bear had always hoarded the best spot in Mo Xu Mountain for himself, enjoying the best resources, which made it somewhat resentful.
After hearing the information, Qin Zheng nodded, and then asked, “How many humans have you eaten?”
The leopard demon’s eyes flickered slightly at the question before it replied, “Not many!”
“Besides, I only ate the dead ones that Lord Bear and Toad Lord didn’t want!”
“I haven’t eaten any living humans!”
Its heart pounded fiercely at this moment, aware that any misstep in words could result in immediate death!
“Are you saying that Lord Bear and Toad Lord only eat living humans?” Qin Zheng asked with a slight bow of his head, his tone calm.
The leopard demon nodded.
Swish!
The Ghost Head Greatsword fell.
A leopard’s head rolled on the ground, its eyes bulging open.
And its robust, bull-like body trembled for a few moments before becoming still.
Only at its neck did blood gush out like an opened sluice, endlessly flowing.
The rich scent of blood overpowered the foul stench of demonic energy.
Qin Zheng sighed lightly, put down the roasted chicken he had finished eating, and stood up.
A den of monsters, a lair of man-eating demons.
He had prepared himself for this possibility before coming.
But even now, with confirmation from these monsters, a chill took root in his heart.
These monsters, based on their strength, distinguished between eating living humans and dead ones.
Truly amusing indeed!
A cold light surged in Qin Zheng’s eyes as he looked towards the abyss-like Mo Xu Mountain.
Without any hesitation, he shouldered his great bow, held the Ghost Head Greatsword, and stepped into this territory populated by monsters!
Tweet!
In the high night sky.
Several eagles circled above Mo Xu Mountain.
Using his Qinggong, Qin Zheng swiftly hastened toward the location indicated by the leopard demon.
Sixty li later…
the Half-Demon Cave…
His figure was swift, like a phantom, with the gloomy trees on either side swiftly receding backward.
Awooo!
Wolf howls rose in the distance.
At the same time, pairs of green lights lit up in the dark forest, like ghostly flames.
Qin Zheng gripped the Ghost Head Greatsword tightly, stomped with his foot, and leaped forward.
Swish!
The sharp light of the blade flashed like sudden rain.
After his figure had gone, wolf heads began to roll one after another onto the ground.
In Mo Xu Mountain, the heavy scent of demonic blood began to spread through the air.
…
Meanwhile, in a cave dwelling in another part of the mountain.
Xu Weisan looked apprehensively at the surrounding monsters while forcibly suppressing the tremors that ran through his body.
In front of him, Steward Liu merrily drank and chatted with a portly man.
