17: You can go

They didn't expect the person in charge of the Demon Hunting Division to be so powerful; the Pig Demon leader was actually killed in such a short time, and this was a Late Stage Nether-level demon.

Human Race Martial Artists of the same rank could only take a beating when facing demons; just surviving would be considered decent.

With such a big shot holding the line, their hope of getting out alive increased significantly, and they all exerted a bit more effort in fighting the demons.

"That dog... it's so strong. If it had attacked earlier, surely so many people wouldn't have died!" Li Yu of the Hundred Flowers Sect narrowed her eyes and muttered softly. If the hundred or so people were still around, resisting these demons would be much easier.

"Junior Sister, focus on killing the enemy. Now that we are facing demons, we must be united as one; stop spouting nonsense." Bai Ruoxue sighed helplessly. This girl was too naive; how would she be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future?

"Damn it, this girl is not right. Our Lord Chu is fighting on the front lines, and she is still badmouthing our Lord Chu behind his back. This is intolerable!"

"Hey, Brother Liu, are you listening to me?" Lu Feiyang followed closely behind Liu Guangwu, dodging the demons' attacks.

His ears were very sensitive; no matter how quiet the Hundred Flowers Sect girl's voice was, it couldn't escape his ears.

"Forget it. After this battle is over, just capture her and bring her to Lord Chu as a bed-warming maid, and Lord Chu will surely reward you heavily then." Liu Guangwu said expressionlessly, his blade swinging non-stop.

"In my opinion, given your father's status, this is just a matter of a single sentence!"

Lu Feiyang made a bitter face and said, "Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. If we can leave alive, I will definitely tie her up and bring her to Lord Chu, but Brother Liu must help me out then!"

"Stop talking. This demon is a bit tricky, and I won't be able to look after you later!"

"Don't say that, Brother Liu, I'm counting on you..."

...

The Tiger Demon leader saw the gray Pig Demon's situation and rushed to support it, but Chu Jiang's speed was too fast; by the time it arrived, the gray Pig Demon was already decapitated.

At this moment, it looked at Chu Jiang with a slightly more serious expression, no longer relaxed and comfortable.

It knew the gray pig's strength; it was one of the four great demon leaders of White Stone County, an Innate Late Stage, and its strength was not weak. Even it would find it difficult to kill it so easily.

It would take at least a dozen rounds of intense fighting.

If one wanted to kill it with only this level of ability, it would be nothing but a pipe dream.

"The Human Race is nothing but blood food for my Demon Clan!"

"A mere Innate Martial Artist, I don't even take you seriously!"

The Tiger Demon leader let out a wild laugh, and cold killing intent permeated the air.

Whoosh!

Its massive body moved instantly, turning into an afterimage. Its speed was more than a notch faster than the gray Pig Demon. Its footwork was chaotic and disordered, and in the blink of an eye, a huge, massive claw arrived before Chu Jiang's eyes.

It swiped fiercely at Chu Jiang's head.

The blood-dripping long blade crossed the air again, slashing towards the giant claw.

The blade edge cut through the air and collided with the giant claw, emitting a clanging sound.

With a bang.

Chu Jiang's long blade was shattered by the giant claw, breaking into three pieces and scattering on the ground.

"What!"

This Tiger Demon leader's claws were so hard that with just a single strike, it shattered his blade into several pieces.

It wasn't that Chu Jiang's blade technique wasn't strong, but that the blade's Materials couldn't hold up. It had only fought two battles with Nether-level demons and it was already busted.

This blade was a special steel blade crafted by the Demon Hunting Division specifically to counter Void-level demons, and it was extremely hard. Even an ordinary Innate demon could not break this blade.

But this time, what he encountered was a Peak Nether-level Tiger Demon.

Its strength was immense, and its combat power ranked first among the four great Demon Clans of White Stone County; it could almost be considered the leader of all demons in White Stone County.

It was no surprise that it shattered this steel blade in one move.

It seemed he would need to get a good blade when he returned.

"My heavens, this Tiger Demon is too ferocious. How can we even fight this!" Lu Feiyang was desperate once again. Now that Chu Jiang didn't even have a blade, how could he fight the Tiger Demon? Wouldn't he be torn in half by it?

"Shut up!"

Liu Guangwu's expression was cold and stern. This guy always disrupted morale at critical moments.

"No matter, Lord Chu's true strength has not yet been revealed. Even without a blade, Lord Chu can still carve out a bloody path!" Ma Han said solemnly.

He was now wholeheartedly convinced by Chu Jiang and would unconditionally trust him at all times.

With the long blade broken, Chu Jiang's expression remained calm. His strongest method now was not his blade.

It was his palm!

Boom!

A powerful force radiated from his body, his muscles bulged, and his Qi and blood surged as if brewing something.

The Tiger Demon leader was overjoyed and said, "What strong Qi and blood. I think your strength alone is enough to make Lord fully awaken!"

"Die!"

The Tiger Demon leader disappeared instantly, surprisingly fast. Even with the Clear Wind Technique having entered the Transcendent stage, he could only barely keep up with its pace.

This Tiger Demon had immense strength and high speed; it had almost no weaknesses.

Chu Jiang seized the opportunity, stomped his feet hard on the ground, and leaped like a cannonball, blasting towards the black Tiger Demon.

Rumble!

The man and the demon's palms collided instantly, and a strong air current swept in all directions.

It was like two peerless beasts colliding and slaughtering each other, every move aiming to kill.

Each collision produced a muffled explosion, making one's heartbeat slow down a bit.

Everyone present was shocked beyond measure.

Using a Mortal body to compete with a demon in strength was, in itself, an appalling thing.

Even a Peak Innate expert would not be able to last a few moves against this terrifying Tiger Demon before being killed, yet Chu Jiang could actually manage to go head-to-head with it.

And he was not at a disadvantage at all.

"Hmph!"

The Tiger Demon leader shouted sharply, seized a flaw, and swiped its giant claw towards Chu Jiang's chest. The palm emitted a black stench, containing highly toxic substances.

This time, Chu Jiang did not dodge, choosing to confront it directly. His palm emitted a pale golden light, and with a terrifying air wave, he blasted towards the black Tiger Demon's heart.

Great Strength Vajra Palm Second Form — Great Strength Triple Wave!

The terrifying force came layer after layer, the hidden energy passing through the Tiger Demon's leather armor, penetrating it, and crazily shredding the black Tiger Demon's internal organs.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a mouthful of black blood sprayed out, and its aura withered by thirty or forty percent.

The black Tiger Demon clutched its chest frantically, circulating Demon Clan Qi to suppress this surging palm force, but the effect was minimal; the palm force came one layer after another, making it difficult to resist.

The black Tiger Demon's paw, carrying toxic substances, also hit Chu Jiang at the same time, and several ribs in his chest were displaced.

The black toxin penetrated his skin, corroding Chu Jiang's Meridians and contaminating his True Qi.

Chu Jiang immediately circulated the Golden Sun Skill at full speed. Waves of scorching sun Qi rose within his body, and the black toxin that had entered his chest was suppressed and driven out of his body.

The Golden Sun Skill belonged to a Yang-attribute Cultivation Technique, which happened to have a suppressing effect on this.

An invisible force drove the toxin to one spot, forming a black dot the size of a pea; as long as it was refined slightly, it could be completely dispelled.

Chu Jiang stood up, not intending to give the black Tiger Demon a chance to rest and recover; take advantage of its illness to claim its life!

One more time, and I don't believe you can block it!

"Wait, kid. This seat appreciates you. Today you can leave, and you can take those people around you with you; I will not stop you!"

Blood Sabre Wang Qi on the altar suddenly spoke, his face neither sad nor happy.
