Suffering from this powerful strike, Iron Demon's body sank downwards. He immediately contracted his Mutated Tissue, hindering the blade's downward momentum.

Chen Chuan didn't insist on it. He withdrew the blade and, before the injury could heal, launched a series of consecutive slashes.

Influenced by the severed bones and muscles, Iron Demon's movements and power exertion were uncoordinated. He could only put up a weak defense. Under Chen Chuan's relentless attacks, several deep cuts appeared on his body. He grunted heavily and retreated repeatedly.

However, Chen Chuan had no intention of letting him off. Just as he was about to continue his relentless assault, Iron Demon finally couldn't bear it any longer and unleashed another burst of Internal energy. Chen Chuan retreated a step back.

Standing there, he lightly shook his blade, casting off the entangled limbs and messy blood and flesh remnants onto the ground.

Iron Demon's wounds were now healing rapidly, and the damaged areas were quickly repaired and filled in by fast-growing limbs. The cracked bones also knitted together. In just a few breaths, he looked as if he had never been injured.

Chen Chuan's expression remained calm. He had noticed earlier that although Iron Demon's Speed and Strength had increased, the sense of pressure he exerted was not as great as before.

In his opinion, Strength and Speed could only be fully utilized with sufficient coordination. If one possessed Strength without Control or agility, or if Speed became too fast to control, Skills were out of the question. Iron Demon was currently exhibiting these flaws.

In other words, the later enhancements were not beneficial but rather detrimental.

He gazed at the limbs on Iron Demon's body. As a Martial Artist, Iron Demon should have been aware of these issues, but these might not have been his own choices.

He slowly pointed the blade tip at his opponent, the misty aura and the glowing light on it gradually rising.

These were all irrelevant to him. He only knew that completing this mission would allow him to return to Central City and receive guidance for a higher level of Strength.

And before that, he had to eliminate whatever stood in his way.

He shook his blade and charged forward. The Blade flash moved, colliding with the Spear repeatedly. After just a few exchanges, he sensed that his opponent's Strength was beginning to scatter, and his Speed was gradually falling behind.

His Blade flash suddenly swirled, deflecting the spear shaft. Then, with two quick slashes, Iron Demon managed to block, but his stance was clearly disordered, and his center of gravity shifted.

He channeled his strength and thrust the Long Sword forward, piercing the side of his shoulder. This strike's Internal energy penetrated straight through muscle and bone, as if about to explode the muscles and bones there in the next moment.

Iron Demon's eyes changed. He mobilized the Mutated Tissue there to desperately contract, and the limited Essence Blood stored in his heart was transmitted outwards, trying to quickly repair the damaged area.

Seeing the Internal energy gathering there, Chen Chuan's eyes flashed. He suddenly withdrew and swept the blade outwards with force.

This strike was lightning fast. It targeted the moment when the other party's mobilization of Mutated Tissue was delayed. With this strike, the arm holding the spear was sent flying into the air!

Iron Demon's bloodshot eyes stared at him, as if he felt nothing. Another whip-like limb lashed out at him, wrapping around his body and trying to pull him towards himself.

Chen Chuan immediately separated his feet, lowered his center of gravity, and stood firmly on the spot. At the same time, he took a deep breath, and the Skin on his body became even hotter.

He reached out and grabbed the whip limb, pulling it taut. Simultaneously, he brought the knife close and slashed, severing the whip.

Before he could shake off the limbs entangled around his body, he stomped on the ground and lunged forward, instantly closing in on Iron Demon. Then, using the force of his charge, he stabbed his abdomen with the knife, piercing the outer layer and penetrating into his internal organs, stopping only when it reached his hard spine.

Although this strike didn't pierce Iron Demon completely, it made him stagger backward. He reached out and grabbed the severed whip limb, dragging it closer. He released the knife handle with his left hand and punched his chest and abdomen. Then, he used his strength to pull and slammed an elbow into his face!

This strike produced a thunderous sound. Countless cracks appeared on the iron Mask. Iron Demon couldn't help but tilt his head back, spitting out shattered teeth and blood as he staggered back.

But after retreating a few steps, the Internal energy that had penetrated into his chest and abdomen erupted. The area wrapped in tough tendons also exploded. Although the limbs there were instinctively retracting and healing, the Speed of repair was visibly slowing down.

A gleam flashed in his eyes. Repairing injuries consumed Essence Blood. The current situation indicated that his Essence Blood and Steady Spirit were beginning to lag behind the losses in battle.

He stepped forward, took out Long Sword, stirred it around and pulled it out. Amidst Iron Demon's muffled groan, he grabbed his arm and swung it around, slamming him heavily on the ground. The ground exploded in a cloud of dust, creating a deep pit.

Iron Demon spat out a mouthful of blood. He tried to get up, but was kicked to the ground by Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan then reached out a hand to grab his only arm, lifted him up, and slammed him hard against the other side.

With a bang, another reverberating sound was heard.

Iron Demon lay there, struggling, trying to get up again, but what awaited him was another forceful slam, followed by a fourth, a fifth…

After an unknown number of times, Iron Demon could no longer stand up. At this time, his body was almost pale, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time. However, the originally full muscles and tendons under the skin were now shriveled, leaving only a thin layer of skin attached to them. His eyes were also deeply sunken.

His chest rose and fell rapidly. Above his line of sight was the figure standing there, looking down at him. However, the rising dust obscured his vision, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Chen Chuan planted the Snow Emperor Blade on the ground, drew the short knife from his waist, knelt down, pointed the blade at his neck, grabbed his hair with the other hand and lifted it up, looking ahead, and said, "Farewell."

After saying that, he exerted force in his arm. With a snap, he felt a lightness in his hand, and then stood up with Iron Demon's head.

He tucked the short knife back into his waist, held the head in front of him, reached out and took off the broken Mask from his face. Underneath was a swollen, blood-covered face, but he could vaguely see that it was relatively young, and judging by the outline, he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

As he stared, suddenly the eyes on that face rolled over, and a section of white substance shot out from his eyes, stabbing towards his eyes.

However, it was firmly grasped by a powerful hand before it could get close, and could no longer move forward.

Chen Chuan looked at this thing with an unchanged expression. It was full of wrinkles and looked like an elongated brain. At this moment, it was twisting incessantly, and the front end was curling up under the pressure of his fingers.

He realized that this thing might be the opponent's true body, a kind of Activation transformation.

According to Instructor Tian Yu and Consultant Rao, even if the body is destroyed, as long as this thing remains, it can continue to exist. Even after changing to a new body, if the new body is at the same level, it can quickly return to its original level by relying on some unique means.

However, this thing itself doesn't have much Strength, at least not compared to a Martial Artist with complete Strength. Apart from sneak attacks, there are basically no other ways.

He exerted force in his hand and crushed it completely. The tentacles and main parts exploded under the action of Internal energy, turning into tiny pieces of flesh and blood that scattered all over the ground.

According to the Data, as long as this thing is crushed, it is basically cleaned up, and the rest can be ignored. However, for the sake of safety, it is best to burn it all. But at the moment, the teammates' side is more urgent. He can deal with them first and then come back to deal with these.

He tied Iron Demon's head to his waist, thought for a while, picked up his Mask and put it back on. Then he walked to the side, retrieved the Snow Emperor Blade, and picked up the two broken spears. He walked towards the river bank.

At this moment, the battle ahead was still continuing, but the four of them could hear that the movement on that side had ended. Due to the obstruction of dust and vegetation, none of the four knew who had won.

The two Imperial Retainer Warriors had always been very confident about this, because they had always felt that the victory must belong to their Prefect. However, as the figure in the distance appeared, and they saw the head on his waist, their Spirits seemed to have been greatly impacted. Their originally solid formation was disrupted in an instant.

It should be known that Iron Demon was not only their superior, but also their Spirit pillar. They could hardly imagine that the Prefect, who was invincible in their eyes and almost no one could defeat, would be defeated and beheaded.

Under this stimulus, their original Biological Field became manic. If they maintained their defense at this moment, they could persevere. If Chen Chuan did not join the battle, it was hard to say how long it would take, but now that they moved like this, Yuan Qiu Yuan and Qin Qing Que immediately found a loophole.

Yuan Qiu Yuan chuckled, and Long Staff, like a poisonous dragon, protruded from Spear, and the front end hit the opponent's forehead. The helmet exploded with a bang, and the head tilted back sharply.

He shouted again, jumped up from the spot, raised Long Staff high in both hands, and slammed it down, hitting the man's head with a bang. Blood shot out of the warrior's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. The part of the head that was hit was completely deflated, and then swayed twice, falling straight back.

Qin Qing Que gave a clear shout, and a cold light pierced the item directly, piercing from the opponent's throat and coming out from the back of the neck.

She held the gun in one hand for a moment, and then drew it out, allowing the Imperial Retainer Warrior to kneel on the ground, and then fall forward, while she drew the gun body, and then shook the red tassel, scattering blood drops during the spin, and finally calmly put the gun on the ground.
