"Master Leopard is dead!"

"Master Leopard is dead!"

The surrounding Demon Race suddenly cried out loudly.

This Thunderlight Leopard was obviously one of their leaders. Being slain like this naturally made them uneasy.

Looking at Song Changming, who had charged in alone, they hesitated and didn’t dare to surround him.

Song Changming glanced at the corpse of the Thunderlight Leopard on the ground. It was a rare piece of top-quality Demon Blood and Demon Flesh.

Even in such wartime, he was somewhat reluctant to just abandon it.

Just as he was about to lift the leopard’s corpse, he suddenly sensed a disturbance beneath the ground.

"Hmm!"

He immediately leaped into the air.

The next moment, beneath his feet, a strange, thick-armored giant worm burst out of the ground.

It somewhat resembled an earthworm, but its body had three segments, capable of moving flexibly.

It seemed to plan to swallow both Song Changming and the Thunderlight Leopard corpse simultaneously.

Unfortunately, Song Changming’s senses were extraordinarily keen, with his Spiritual Power penetrating even the ground, allowing him to easily avoid this sneak attack.

"Three Segment Worm..."

Song Changming fixed his gaze, recognizing the identity of this demon creature.

Unlike the Thunderlight Leopard, the Three Segment Worm was always weak. Amongst the myriad of the Demon Race, it played an insignificant Little Demon role, lacking any combat power, barely surviving on the leftovers and scraps other Demon Races discarded.

But this Three Segment Worm in front of him contradicted his understanding.

This Three Segment Worm was stronger than the surrounding general Demon Race, with Demon Qi not inferior to the Thunderlight Leopard he just slew, at least at the Demon Commander Level, far from being a Little Demon.

It seemed this Three Segment Worm had its opportunities, growing so much despite its weak bloodline—a rarity in the world.

The Three Segment Worm missed its attack and transformed into a slick-looking young man.

"Uh, it’s all a misunderstanding, please do not blame me..."

The Insect Demon said this, then sank into the ground, not intending to face Song Changming head-on.

Under normal circumstances, Song Changming would not easily let the other party go.

But today was different.

On a chaotic battlefield, he didn’t dare to act recklessly.

Who knew if some excessive actions would add dangerous variables?

Song Changming looked back at the soldiers in the distance. Even without him, their formation remained intact; it was still safe and stable.

The Snake Demon that Xing Tiexin was dealing with looked like it was about to be defeated as well.

Song Changming breathed easy, silently activating the Witch Refining Technique, grabbing the left hand of the Thunderlight Leopard’s corpse, and a great suction force was generated instantly.

The next moment, the massive Blood Qi from the Thunderlight Leopard’s corpse permeated, turning into a thick red mist, absorbed into Song Changming’s palm, and rapidly refined!

Just like Song Changming’s nightly refinement of Moonlight Energy, the Witch Refining Technique could refine any energy in the universe for his use!

It could also directly refine the Blood Qi Essence from this Demon Beast, enhancing his own body!

This was similar to the Celestial Essence Body Refining Secret Technique he had eliminated before.

The difference was that the cultivation method of this Ancient Witchcraft was more comprehensive and perfect, not only without side effects but also with much higher refinement efficiency.

It didn’t even require Song Changming to consume large quantities of flesh and blood; just touching the Demon Beast’s corpse could complete the absorption and refinement!

In just a moment, Song Changming felt a slow increase in his own Qi Power.

In addition, even the stamina he had just expended in battle was superbly replenished with the absorption and refinement of this Blood Qi Essence.

"Hmm!"

Song Changming suddenly perceived that within the Blood and Flesh Essence of this Thunderlight Leopard, there were also many extremely pure Thunder Attribute Energies. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

These Thunder Attribute Energies, fused with the blood, were absorbed through Song Changming’s Witchcraft Refining.

After absorption, Song Changming felt a noticeable leap in the development level of his Thunder Roar Body’s Physical Traits.

A faint yellow thunder light flickered around him, but it soon transformed into purple-gold thunder...

He casually tossed away the now shriveled Thunderlight Leopard corpse and became a streak of lightning, returning to his original position in the battle array in a flash.

He could clearly feel that as the Thunder Roar Body’s development progressed, his speed in executing the Wind and Thunder Divine Movement Technique was faster than before.

The demon creatures couldn’t block him at all.

On the other side, with a mournful monster’s screech, Xing Tiexin swiftly and neatly slew the Snake Demon, leaving no chance for it to escape.

Xing Tiexin’s personal strength was unquestionable. According to him, he could rank at least third among the ten commanders in the army!

Like Song Changming, he rose from humble beginnings, so he had to excel extraordinarily, far beyond most in the army, to have a shot at advancement.

"You’re really something, Changming!" Xing Tiexin said, stepping on the Snake Demon’s corpse, very satisfied seeing Song Changming quickly take care of the Thunderlight Leopard, he grinned.

"On the battlefield, one must go all out," Song Changming said, glancing at the Snake Demon corpse, somewhat tempted.

But he knew it wasn’t his kill; plus, there wasn’t more time for him to refine this Snake Demon’s Blood Qi Essence.

The team soon advanced towards the great city again, following Xing Tiexin’s command.

The entire 41st Flag Army, composed of ten battle arrays formed around the ten commanders, wasn’t large in number.

Primarily because the aid this time was hurried, only those with Centurion level and above had Innate Level combat strength, enabling them to fly back swiftly.
