Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Gu Yan and others walked into the other courtyard one after another, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

Before coming in, Sun Ming had told them not to stay together, so they dispersed.

This abandoned courtyard is very dilapidated, and most of the collapsed rockery was stained red with blood.

There were several discarded bones lying in the dry pond.

There were several blood-red handprints on the edge of the overgrown dry well, and the whole courtyard exuded an eerie atmosphere.

The courtyard was very large, with many dilapidated houses inside. Gu Yan held the demon-slaying knife tightly in his hand, walked towards a dim house, and reached out to push open the rotten wooden door.

There is a dried corpse hanging on the beam of the roof. Due to its age, the gender of the corpse cannot be clearly seen.

A cold wind blew by, and the mummy hanging on the beam swayed slightly with the wind.

The shriveled eyes of the mummy seemed to move.

Gu Yan walked into the dark room and looked around

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed behind him, and he quickly drew his sword and slashed behind him. The sword struck nothing, and there was no one behind him.

The hairs on Gu Yan's body stood up one by one, like a cat with explosive hair.

After all, this was his first time facing an evil spirit, and he was still very immature, so nervousness was unavoidable. He comforted himself and said

“Maybe I’m too nervous.”

He did not notice that the mummy hanging on the roof beam...had long since disappeared...

Suddenly, a cold air hit his side, and Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Without thinking, he swung the demon-slaying knife with all his strength and slashed in the direction of the cold air. Suddenly, there was a harsh sound of gold and iron clashing next to him.

It was the mummy hanging on the roof. The withered fingers turned into sharp claws with a cold light. The fangs slowly emerged from the mouth, and the mouth exuded a disgusting stench.

"This should be the walking corpse Master Sun was talking about."

Gu Yan was startled by the appearance of the mummy. After he came to his senses, the anger in his chest broke out again.

He had been holding back this anger for a long time. Now that the evil spirit was in front of him, Gu Yan launched an offensive against the walking corpse in front of him without hesitation.

Taking a step forward, the Demon-Slaying Sword slashed towards the top of the walking corpse with the force of Huashan.

The demon-slaying knife struck the top of the zombie's head, leaving only a shallow white mark.

The walking zombie seemed to be angered by his sword. The weak human race in front of him actually dared to attack him first.

The walking corpse let out a harsh and unpleasant roar, and slammed its stiff arms at Gu Yan's head.

Gu Yan hurriedly blocked with his sword, but was instantly swept away by the huge force and hit the wall behind.

Gu Yan quickly got up from the ground, shook his hands that were numb from the shock, and frowned slightly.

"Are the zombies in the tenth realm so powerful? The Demon Slayer Division is worthy of being able to suppress the evil spirits in the world. Even the assessment tasks are so difficult."

Gu Yan quietly retreated to the table in the room. Unable to fight hard, he planned to rely on the furnishings in the room to slowly consume the walking corpses.

The zombie's head rotated 180 degrees. After finding his position, he jumped suddenly and flew towards him like a cannonball.

Gu Yan picked up a chair with his left hand and threw it towards the walking corpse with all his strength.

The chair hit it, shattering it into pieces in an instant, but the zombie didn't even sway, was not affected at all, and continued to rush towards him.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yan secretly smacked his lips.

"Are the examinations of the Demon Slayer Division so terrifying? No wonder one division can compete with the entire demon clan."

Gu Yan also got angry, stuck the demon-slaying knife on the ground, picked up the table with both hands, and slammed it towards the walking corpse.

"boom!"

The zombie's hard head poked a big hole in the table, and with a roar it tore the table into pieces.

Gu Yan took the opportunity to kick the zombie in the chest, knocking it back two steps. Gu Yan was also shocked by its stiff body and was knocked back again and again.

While fighting with the walking zombies, he quickly thought about ways to deal with them.

The walking dead, demons and evil spirits are all extremely sinister things, and they are most afraid of thunder and fire.

But his cultivation level is not yet at the level of Qi training, and the thunder-attribute Qi of the Nine Heavens God Thunder Sutra cannot be released externally. He only has one form of palm thunder that has not been practiced yet.

Gu Yan, who had no other way to break the situation, decided to give it a try

If you can't even deal with a small walking corpse, and you can't even pass the test, how can you eliminate the evil spirits and avenge your parents and the people of Zecheng?

He rolled forward to avoid the zombie attack and came to the demon-slaying knife.

He pulled out the knife stuck on the ground and used a series of sharp knives to force the zombie back into the corner.

Gu Yan took advantage of the situation and kicked the zombie into the wall with a powerful and heavy kick.

Then he quickly stepped back a foot and threw the demon-slaying knife in his hand.

The long knife shot towards the walking corpse with a sound of breaking through the air. The walking corpse opened its mouth and bit the flying demon-slaying knife with its fangs.

Gu Yan, who had already retreated ten feet away, saw lightning flashing in his palm, and the terrifying power of thunder slowly gathered.

After the palm thunder brewed in the palm, it immediately blasted towards the walking corpse.

The violent thunder exploded on the head of the zombie. After using the palm thunder with all his strength, Gu Yan's internal energy was drained, and his legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.

The walking corpse's head was turned into coke by the palm thunder, and he struggled for two times before falling down.

After Gu Yan saw that the walking corpse was completely motionless, his body instantly relaxed and he sat down on the ground and gasped for air.

After resting for a while, he walked forward, picked up the demon-slaying knife, and dragged one of the zombie's legs out.

The trainee demon slayer outside the door had already completed half of his mission. Lin Wu's eyes jumped when he saw Gu Yan dragging a zombie out.

"Brother Gu, you...did you kill this?"

Gu Yan threw away the body in his hand and gasped.

"This walking corpse's skin is too thick, so it was difficult to beat him to death."

Upon seeing this, Sun Ming came over, looked at the zombies on the ground, then looked at Gu Yan, who was breathing heavily, and scratched his head.

"Boy, how did you manage to rely on your cultivation in the Body Forging Realm to cross the levels without any damage and beat this zombie to death?"

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It turned out that what he was fighting was not the zombies of the tenth realm, but the zombies of the ninth realm.

No wonder he's so strong and so resistant to beatings. If it weren't for the palm thunder, I might not be able to take down this zombie.

"Master Sun, this is just a fluke."

Sun Ming seemed to realize that the question he asked was a bit reckless.

Everyone has a secret, not to mention the trump card of this kind of cross-level fighting, which cannot be known. Sun Ming nodded.

"There are zombies in the other courtyard. It is the negligence of the Demon Slayer Department. Master Chen will compensate you."

"Thank you sir"

Gu Yan bowed, stepped aside and stood side by side with Lin Wu, waiting for the outcome of the battle between the other trainee demon slayers.

After that, demon slayers kept coming out after completing their missions.

The ugly time has come, all trainee demon slayers have finished fighting

There were only thirty demon-slayers left in the open space in front of the annex. The other dozen or so had left early, and some had died in the annex.

Today's battles in other courtyards occur almost every day in the states, counties, and counties of Daqin. Demons and evil spirits emerge in an endless stream, and demon slayers die in battle every day.

The Xuan-level Demon-Slayer Master Sun Ming rushed back to the imperial capital with these trainee Demon-Slayer Masters who had completed their examinations. After letting Gu Yan and others return to their residences, Sun Ming went straight to the East City Demon-Slayer Division.

There is a majestic hall in the center of the Demon Slaying Division in the East City. Thirty-six thick stone pillars surrounded by three people support the headquarters of the Demon Slaying Division.

There are black dragons coiled on the stone pillars, exuding a solemn aura. This is the core of the Demon Slayer Division, the Demon Slayer Hall.

Sun Ming stepped forward and saluted Chen Peng, the heaven-level demon-slaying officer sitting inside.

"Sir, the assessment of the fifth team is over."

Chen Peng raised his head and said

"How's it going? Can half of them pass the test?"

Sun Ming smiled slightly and looked at Chen Peng

"Sir, more than thirty people have passed the examination, and among them there is a genius who can fight beyond the level, named Gu Yan. With his strength in the late stage of the body forging realm, he killed a ninth-level zombie alive."

"Gu Yan? There is a huge gap in strength between the human race and these demons. If you can fight at the same level, you are already a strong man. What's more, if you can fight across levels, you are indeed a genius."

"Sir, this time there is a zombie in the courtyard. Do you think we should give Gu Yan some compensation? After all, that zombie is beyond the scope of the assessment."

"Well, you go to the arsenal to get a small Yuan Dan and give it to Gu Yan."

Sun Ming was very efficient in his work, otherwise he would not have become a confidant of the majestic heaven-level demon-slaying officer. He quickly brought Xiao Yuandan to Gu Yan's residence.

"Boom, boom, boom"

When Gu Yan heard someone knocking on the door, he stopped practicing, got off the bed, walked forward and opened the door. After seeing the person clearly, he raised his hands and saluted.

"Lord Sun"

"The presence of zombies in the assessment is an oversight by the Demon Slayer Department. This is the compensation given to you by Mr. Chen Pengchen, the commander of the Demon Slayer Department in Dongcheng."

"Thank you sir"

Gu Yan reached out and took the Xiao Yuan Dan from Sun Ming's hand.

Sun Ming patted Gu Yan's shoulder and said with a smile

"Practice well. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime."

Demon slayers like Gu Yan would like to make friends with a genius like Gu Yan.

Maybe in the near future, they will fight side by side. With a strong colleague, the chance of survival will be greater.

"Slow down, adults"

After Gu Yan sent Sun Ming away, he closed the door and poured out the Xiao Yuan Dan. After taking a look at it, he returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, swallowed the Xiao Yuan Dan and started refining it.

Gu Yan's practice of the mysterious technique Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sutra has been progressing rapidly. He was originally in the middle stage of the body training realm, but in the ten days he was on the road, he quickly pushed his cultivation to the late stage of the body training realm.

After absorbing Xiao Yuan Dan, his body was filled with true energy, and he broke through the barrier in one fell swoop, opened up the sea of ​​energy, and reached the stage of practicing energy.
