235: This seat alone is enough

“These demons are too fast!” A strong cultivator’s face was pale, his voice filled with unconcealed terror. On the third level, even a Divine Power Realm cultivator could not fly in the air, only relying on their legs to flee on the ground.

As the demons approached, the shadow of death enveloped everyone.

Tens of thousands of demons—this was the most terrifying sight they had ever witnessed in their lives. In this desperate escape, the Huangquan Pavilion Master’s fear reached its peak.

He could hear the sound of the demons thundering behind him getting closer and closer. He glanced back and saw that those ferocious demons were already less than five hundred meters away.

Whoosh!

Just then, a Spirit Rank leopard demon shot out like a bolt of lightning, its speed surpassing all other demons, heading straight for the Huangquan Pavilion Master. Its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight, as if they would tear everything apart.

“Yellow Springs Steps!”

The Huangquan Pavilion Master roared, his face flushed red, and all his strength erupted at that moment. He narrowly dodged the leopard demon’s fatal blow with an almost impossible speed.

He panted heavily, secretly congratulating himself: “Damn it, I almost died!”

However, just as he let out a sigh of relief, his pupils suddenly constricted the next second, and fear surged into his heart like a tide.

What did he see? Amidst the demonic tide, a Profound Rank lizard demon opened its gaping maw, revealing its fangs.

Its tongue suddenly shot out, hundreds of meters long, covered with barbed steel needles. This tongue, like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, directly coiled around the Huangquan Pavilion Master and dragged him into the lizard demon’s belly.

“No…”

His voice abruptly ceased, swallowed by the lizard demon’s bloody mouth.

He had just escaped a disaster.

Immediately, he fell into Hell.

His body was torn apart by the barbed steel needles in the lizard demon’s mouth, and his entire being was reduced to minced meat, flowing into the demon’s belly.

This was not unique to the Huangquan Pavilion Master; those who ran slower were basically devoured by the demons behind them.

Seeing this scene, everyone became even more terrified. What the Hell, why am I still running? A tongue can extend for hundreds of meters.

At this moment.

A voice suddenly rang out:

“This Seat will stay behind to cover your retreat; all of you, leave quickly!”

The major powers looked up and saw a figure in a flying fish uniform flying towards the demonic tide army at an extremely fast speed.

“It’s Chu Garrison Envoy!”

“Chu Garrison Envoy truly lives up to His Majesty Chu Emperor’s high regard; he is truly righteous!”

“When we return, I will definitely erect a monument for Chu Garrison Envoy!”

Everyone cheered loudly, beginning to praise him.

As the Yun Province Pacification Commissioner, Chu Jiang had the duty to suppress the demons of heaven and earth, but confronting tens of thousands of demons at once was undoubtedly like striking a rock with an egg.

Even if he retreated, no one would say anything.

Because, anyone who stayed behind to block the demonic tide at this moment would surely die.

“How wonderful, Chu Jiang, this peerless Prodigy, is about to fall here!”

Jin She Lan, Valley Master secretly rejoiced. Chu Jiang was originally the most likely person to escape, but he actually sought death by confronting the demonic tide. Wasn’t he tired of living?

No one believed that Chu Jiang could survive the demonic tide, but if he could block them for a moment, their chances of escaping would be greater.

“Brother Chu, I’ll lend you a hand!”

Wang Xuance, riding on a golden ray of light that tunneled through the earth, let out a loud shout, and with a green-glowing sword in hand, he swiftly charged from the edge of the sky.

With Wang Xuance leading the way, a small number of strong cultivators also responded.

“With just the two of them, it will be very difficult to stop the demonic tide!”

“We can’t let the people of the imperial court think that we, the Jianghu families, are all cowards. Those with guts, follow me and kill!”

Several Divine Power Realm cultivators shouted passionately, preparing to lead the responders to counter-attack the demonic army.

Only one person.

Jin She Lan, Valley Master’s eyes were cold. Are these idiotic people crazy? Someone is blocking the demonic tide for you, so why join the excitement?

Wouldn’t it be fine to just leave him to block it alone?

One more person meant Chu Jiang had one more chance to live.

Wang Xuance saw the approaching crowd and quickly advised: “All of you, retreat quickly! Staying will only lead to needless sacrifice, and no one will escape. Lord Chu and I are enough here.”

Facing such a massive number of demons, without the combat power of the Faxiang Realm, staying was a dead end.

Clearly.

In the entire Secret Realm, only Chu Jiang and he were qualified to cover the retreat.

And on the other side.

Chu Jiang’s gaze was like a torch, and he said coldly: “Your wives, children, and elders are still waiting for you to return. You don’t want them to lose their parents and children, do you?!”

“Retreat quickly! If anyone takes another step forward, do not blame this Seat for being ruthless!”

That appearance of bravely facing death earned him immense respect.

Truly a great man.

Those who had just rushed out a few steps quickly stopped.

“Chu Garrison Envoy, take care!”

Seeing that Chu Jiang had made up his mind.

Everyone could only cup their fists and then quickly evacuate the area.

“You go too!”

“Here, this Seat alone is enough!”

Chu Jiang said in a deep voice.

Wang Xuance looked puzzled and said: “Brother Chu, only by combining our strength can we hold back this group of demons!”

One person, wouldn’t that be suicide?

“The purpose of Taiping Temple is to save the world, not to slay demons. Now your mission is to save people, and my mission is to slay demons!”

“And not to slay demons for the sake of slaying demons!”

“Which is more important, saving the world or slaying demons? Think about it carefully!”

As he spoke, Chu Jiang, regardless of whether Wang Xuance agreed, waved his large hand, like a strong wind, directly sending him flying several hundred meters.

This Wang Xuance has Faxiang Realm combat power.

He can send away countless demons in an instant; he absolutely cannot be left behind.

He can only use his skill of spouting nonsense.

“Hmm…”

“The logic is sound, but why do I feel like something isn’t quite right!”

Wang Xuance also fell into contemplation, seemingly pondering Chu Jiang’s words.

At this moment.

Chu Jiang looked at the tens of thousands of demons, surging towards him like an overwhelming tide. The oppressive feeling was no less than that of a hundred thousand strong army crushing him.

Not to mention the Three Thousand Slashes, even the Ten Thousand Demon Slashes could be achieved.

There were even dozens of true demons mixed in; this wave was going to be a huge profit.

In his life, he had never fought such a rich battle.

Clang!

The embroidered spring blade at Chu Jiang’s waist instantly unsheathed, and a world-shaking saber light cut through heaven and earth, like a crack in the sky on flat ground, slashing towards the horde of demons.

Pfft…

As the peerless saber light fell, hundreds of demons in the direct path were instantly cut in half. Their bodies were torn apart in an instant, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

The screams of the demons, the cracking of bones, and the tearing of flesh intertwined, forming a bloody symphony.

[Red Fire Wolf Demon, Spirit Rank Two, Cultivated for one thousand five hundred years, Remaining Lifespan three hundred years]

[Jade Rat Spirit Demon, Spirit Rank Six, Cultivated for five hundred years, Remaining Lifespan one thousand five hundred years]

[Azure Rhino Demon, Spirit Rank Eight, Cultivated for nine hundred years, Remaining Lifespan one thousand years]

…

The System’s notifications kept ringing.

[Three Thousand Slashes: 2468 / 3000]

Chu Jiang’s face could not hide his smile; a large amount of Lifespan was beckoning to him.

Then, with a wave of his large hand, the human emperor banner descended from the sky, standing firm in the battlefield.

“Kill!”

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Wherever Chu Jiang’s blade passed, the bodies of the demons scattered like fallen leaves swept by a strong wind. Their heads, severed limbs, and shattered internal organs were strewn across the ground, forming a Hellish scene.

He was practically a humanoid Dragon.

And the human emperor banner greedily absorbed a large number of demon souls.

Seeing a large number of demons fall.

The experts within the demonic tide could no longer sit still and roared:

“human race kid, don’t be so arrogant!”
