An hour later, finally!
Gu Qingfeng felt the timing was just right.
He let out a low shout and swung his sword again. This time, the swing was slow and steady, as if he was putting all his strength into this single strike.
As he swung the sword, Gu Qingfeng channeled the White Bone Demon Fire within his body.
Suddenly!
An extremely bright white light appeared on the blade!
Whoosh!
Gu Qingfeng suddenly accelerated, delivering a slash!
Boom!
The White Bone Demon Fire on the sword exploded.
Gu Qingfeng was instantly engulfed by pale flames.
In the next second, the White Bone Demon Fire returned to Gu Qingfeng's body, revealing his handsome face wearing a bitter smile.
"Failed."
Gu Qingfeng wasn't surprised; after all, it was a mid-grade mystic technique, how could it be that easy?
Even with his fire control talent, it wasn't something that could be achieved overnight - it also required sword talent.
However, thanks to his fire control talent, Gu Qingfeng's practice was at least dozens of times easier.
Moreover, failed attempts wouldn't result in fire backlash - his fire control talent made him fearless of all fires under heaven.
"Again!"
Gu Qingfeng swung his sword once more.
Boom!
He was again engulfed by flames.
"Again!"
...
And so, Gu Qingfeng swung his sword time after time, failing hundreds of times, until even his White Bone Demon Fire seemed to grow weary.
"One last time. If it fails again, it means the Single Strike Solar Sword technique isn't compatible with White Bone Demon Fire."
Gu Qingfeng swung his sword for the last time. Perhaps due to practice making perfect, this swing felt particularly right, as if a flash of inspiration had suddenly struck!
As he swung, the White Bone Demon Fire condensed on the blade again, making it blindingly bright!
An invisible, terrifying wave emanated from the blade, the air around it distorting from the heat.
Gu Qingfeng's eyes lit up: "This is the feeling!"
Single Strike... Solar Sword!
He delivered the strike!
An extremely thin, highly concentrated pale sword light suddenly appeared!
It was like a white line appearing in the dark world, a line containing terrifyingly explosive energy!
In that instant, dazzling white light burst forth from the white line, turning the night as bright as day. Terrifying heat spread in all directions, causing the lush grass on the ground to twist and curl.
This strike was like the breaking of dawn, like the rising sun, resembling the horizon line dividing sea and sky, as if splitting heaven and earth in half from top to bottom!
Whoosh!
The solar sword energy, like a white line, spread into the distance, resembling a divine being using the world as a canvas, drawing a single stroke across it!
Everything in its path - flowers, giant trees, oddly-shaped rocks, even the formless air itself - seemed to be cut in half as if by a laser.
A small mountain stood in the white line's path. As the line gently passed through, the entire mountain was cleanly cut at its waist. The upper half of the mountain slid down from the cut, creating an earth-shattering boom.
Fortunately, Gu Qingfeng's strike had been angled upward, so the white line flew higher and farther until it was out of sight. Otherwise, who knows how much environmental damage it would have caused.
Gu Qingfeng stared at the collapsing mountain, noting that the remaining half's cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.
This made him involuntarily draw in a sharp breath.
"This... this power is..."
Before Gu Qingfeng could finish speaking, suddenly from the distant sky... BOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion echoed throughout the entire Wutong Prefecture!
At that moment, countless people were startled awake, many even falling out of their beds. Before anyone could react, something even more shocking occurred.
An incredibly bright fireball appeared in the sky!
It was as if a sun had risen in the night sky, illuminating Wutong Prefecture as bright as day!
Gu Qingfeng stared at the distant sky in astonishment. He knew that was the final explosion of the White Bone Solar sword energy that had flown skyward, but he hadn't expected such an enormous disturbance!
This was the characteristic of the Single Strike Solar Sword - highly compressed energy followed by... detonation!
After a long while, the daylight-like brilliance gradually faded, and Gu Qingfeng finally came to his senses.
"Not good!"
Gu Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed as if realizing something, and he turned and fled without looking back, disappearing into the night.
Shortly after Gu Qingfeng left.
A mysterious figure suddenly appeared in the clearing where he had been, as if materializing from thin air.
The newcomer was a man in black clothing, with an imposing presence and sinister eyes fixed intently on the bisected mountain, his face filled with gravity.
If Gu Qingfeng could see this person's face, he would certainly have exclaimed in shock.
Wasn't this his direct superior?
Indeed, the arrival was none other than Li Qianren, the only Heaven-rank Demon Eliminator of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Wutong Prefecture, and an Innate Realm Master!
Li Qianren carefully examined the scene. He didn't bother searching for traces of the perpetrator, being a clever man, he knew that anyone capable of causing such a disturbance must be an Innate Realm Master, and by the time he arrived, the person would have already fled dozens of miles away.
Soon after his arrival, several more figures suddenly appeared with whooshing sounds.
They were shrouded in darkness, their faces unclear, but the terrifying energy waves emanating from them clearly indicated they were all Masters!
For a moment, all the Innate Realm Masters of Wutong Prefecture had gathered in one place.
These Masters looked at the scene before them, all wearing grave expressions.
"Such powerful demon energy, it must be a demon of the Innate level," one Master said solemnly.
"No," Li Qianren suddenly spoke: "Not a demon, but a demon cultivator, from the Blood Demon Cult. This is the aura of White Bone Demon Fire, there's no mistake. The method to cultivate White Bone Demon Fire is unique to the Blood Demon Cult."
"White Bone Demon Fire! Blood Demon Cult! I've heard White Bone Demon Fire is the signature technique of White Bone Elder, but with such power, could it be that White Bone Elder has advanced to Master level?"
"Damn it, so the Blood Demon Cult has another Master. The righteous path wanes while demon power grows - this situation doesn't favor us!"
"It's not White Bone Elder," Li Qianren said coldly.
"This was caused by White Bone Demon Fire combined with swordplay. White Bone Elder doesn't practice sword techniques."
"White Bone Demon Fire combined with swordplay!?" a Master suddenly exclaimed.
"White Bone Demon Fire is the epitome of yin and evil, fierce and mysterious. How could it possibly be integrated into swordplay? What kind of terrifying fire control ability would that require? Can anyone really achieve such a level?"
"My judgment won't be wrong," Li Qianren continued: "This person must be a Blood Demon Cult Master who excels in both swordplay and fire control."
Hearing Li Qianren's assessment, the others chose to believe him, after all, he was the Heaven-rank Demon Eliminator of the Demon Suppression Bureau, an expert in such matters.
"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, this sword technique should be the Single Strike Solar Sword of the Demon Suppression Bureau!"
"What! Doesn't this mean the perpetrator has been to the Demon Suppression Bureau? Or that there are spies within?"
Li Qianren nodded, saying concisely: "Correct."
"Then, Brother Li, what do you think this Blood Demon Cult Master's purpose was in coming to Wutong Prefecture and doing this?"
Li Qianren's lips suddenly curled into a cold smile: "I can guess their intention."
"What intention?" a Master asked curiously.
"I can't say."
After these words, Li Qianren vanished into the night.
Leaving behind the speechless Masters.
After a long while, someone finally smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Li's personality... is still so..."
In the end, even that person didn't finish their sentence, perhaps fearing Li Qianren hadn't gone far.

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
