Let's Call It Flat A for Now

The two continued their journey for a while.

Suddenly.

The sky darkened.

The atmosphere grew eerie.

A black shadow appeared in their line of sight.

It had two heads, slender limbs, and its body was dripping wet. It walked with a twisted, contorted gait, resembling a deformed creature.

A demon.

A true demon.

Su Yu'er never expected that after two months of searching without finding a single demon, she would encounter one here.

Her large eyes sparkled with excitement.

She tightened her grip on her longsword, already itching for a fight.

If she could defeat this demon, not only might she uncover the reason behind the large-scale disappearance of demons from the area where it appeared, but more importantly, she could report this back to the Yunjie Sect. Who would dare look down on her then?

Her first trial mission, and she would already be taking down such a formidable demon—surely, she would earn admiration.

And with someone here to witness it firsthand, it was almost too thrilling.

"Congratulations, you get to witness the might of the Dragon-Phoenix Sword," Su Yu'er said solemnly to Yi Feng. "But this demon is incredibly powerful, far beyond the demon core you sold me."

"Now, listen to my orders. Retreat as far as you can and make sure to protect yourself at all costs."

"Also, the battle between me and it will be earth-shattering. No matter what happens, don't come anywhere near. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. Understood?"

Su Yu'er gave her instructions with utmost seriousness.

Yi Feng nodded.

He retreated to the side.

Seeing Yi Feng step back, Su Yu'er's expression also turned grave.

For her first battle during her trial mission, she had to achieve a resounding victory.

Her jade-like hand moved slightly, causing her longsword to tremble faintly. Then, a surge of energy enveloped it, and a dazzling light erupted.

Next, she activated a talisman, and a transparent barrier appeared around her, shimmering with a soft glow, providing her with perfect defense.

She then flung out eighteen formation flags, which soared into the sky before landing in an intricate pattern around her. The flags were connected by beams of light, forming a formation that surrounded Su Yu'er and granted her various enhancements.

Su Yu'er's hands moved again, forming a series of complex hand seals. When the final seal was completed, a golden scroll flew into the air. A beam of light descended from the scroll, firmly locking onto the two-headed demon and weakening it.

Finally, she spat out a drop of vital blood, which fell onto a jade slip in her hand. The slip glowed brightly before disintegrating into starlight that condensed on the ground, forming a majestic golden lion that roared ferociously, ready to assist her in battle.

"Protective barrier."

"Enhancement buffs, debuff on the enemy, and even a battle pet!"

"Such extravagance."

"Is this the power of a cultivator?"

From the sidelines, Yi Feng couldn't help but marvel.

He subconsciously glanced at the rusty iron sword in his ring and the half-dead snail lying beside it.

The gap between them was truly vast.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu'er, now fully buffed, charged at the two-headed demon, her longsword in hand. She leaped into the air.

"First Sword: All Things."

"Second Sword: Mountains and Rivers."

"Third Sword: Heaven and Earth."

"Fourth Sword: Cause and Effect."

Su Yu'er shouted as she unleashed four devastating sword strikes.

Instantly, countless dazzling sword lights filled the sky, slicing through the air and creating ripples that refused to settle.

"Such powerful sword techniques!"

From a distance, Yi Feng couldn't help but praise. Just the sheer spectacle of it left him feeling inadequate.

It was truly a magnificent visual feast.

This was the prowess of a disciple from a major sect—truly extraordinary.

And then there was him, with his pathetic gear.

A pang of envy rose within him.

However.

It was all for naught.

The dazzling sword lights didn't even manage to cut a single strand of the two-headed demon's hair.

"What?!"

Su Yu'er was utterly shocked.

She couldn't accept this outcome. With a wave of her hand, she commanded,

"Fierce Lion, attack!"

"Roar!"

The lion she had summoned let out a mighty roar, baring its fangs as it pounced toward the two-headed demon.

"Rip!"

The battle lion was torn in half by the two-headed demon—gone, just like that.

"How... how is this possible?"

Su Yu'er's face turned pale, but the two-headed demon was already charging at her.

"Formation Flags, activate!"

Su Yu'er quickly formed hand seals, and the formation flags shifted, attempting to restrain the demon.

But under the demon's assault, all eighteen flags were knocked down.

At the same time, the golden scroll in the sky dimmed, losing its radiance.

The two-headed demon swung its claw, striking Su Yu'er's protective barrier.

The barrier took the hit, and a crack appeared.

Another strike followed, and the crack grew larger.

At this moment.

Su Yu'er was completely panicked. She was at a loss for what to do. She had severely underestimated this demon—their strengths were on entirely different levels.

As the two-headed demon's attacks grew more frequent, the cracks in the barrier widened. Her mind went blank, her eyes filled with terror. She didn't know what to do, only managing to scream instinctively, "Help!"

The moment her voice rang out, the two-headed demon shattered her protective barrier with a single strike and then swung its claw at her again.

There was no way out.

She had no more tricks up her sleeve.

However.

Just as she thought she was doomed, a rusty iron sword descended from the sky, slicing down right in front of her nose. She could clearly see the rust on the hilt.

Yet, it was this very sword that, in her eyes, seemed to grow infinitely larger, leaving behind a long afterimage. It carried an overwhelming aura, filled with terrifying power, and with a devastating force, it cleaved the two-headed demon in two.

Staring at the demon's corpse, Su Yu'er was left speechless, her mind replaying the terrifying strike.

"So... so powerful!"

Her lips trembled slightly.

Her gaze shifted to the side, where she saw the white-robed fool pick up a black demon core from the ground, blow on it lightly, and walk away nonchalantly, muttering, "Another ten thousand coins."

It took Su Yu'er a while to snap out of her daze. She quickly chased after him.

"Hey, what was that sword technique you just used? It was so cool, so incredible!"

Su Yu'er asked with admiration.

"That sword technique just now?"

Yi Feng thought seriously for a moment, then turned to Su Yu'er and said, "Let's just call it a basic attack."

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
