100: Fight till death? Then you die.

At this moment, within Echo Valley, Lu Qian and the others were completely trapped.

As this was a beheading mission, Lu Qian had made up her mind, even shortening the mission timeline and assaulting her way to this location, arriving a full hour earlier than anticipated!

However, she never expected that Echo Valley already had a trap set by the enemy.

Right from the start, five people were lost!

Now, only twenty-one remained under Lu Qian's command.

"This damned Formation!" Lu Qian cursed under her breath.

Trapped within the Formation, she could feel her Spiritual Qi cultivation being suppressed.

She wasn't significantly affected, but the several Banner Officers who died at the very beginning, all at the third layer of the Xiantian Realm, were directly suppressed to the Houtian Realm.

They couldn't withstand the assault of the Xiantian Realm demons and thus lost their lives.

Meanwhile, in the depths of Echo Valley, a Spirit Martial Realm demon was secretly lurking, waiting for Lu Qian to also be affected before making its move decisively.

The Deputy Commanders of the Black Yamen were all battle-hardened experts, and Lu Qian herself was at the sixth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm.

Ordinary Spirit Martial Realm demons naturally wouldn't dare to approach easily.

"My Lady, don't worry about us!" "Just go in and slay that demon."

Everyone formed a defensive circle, as the surroundings were already tightly encircled by demons.

These demons seemed to be controlled by some will, even attacking only when people were Divided Soul, and feigning attacks from time to time, making everyone wary.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian didn't hesitate.

If they delayed any longer, the mission would fail, and everyone would die here.

"I will unleash a strike; you all break through as quickly as possible," Lu Qian said.

As her voice fell, the Spiritual Qi within her body circulated, and she unleashed a strike, like a waterfall descending from the heavens, falling forward.

Rumble!

The demons along the path were all cut into pieces.

A bloody scent permeated the air.

The howling wind seemed to have rolled the Qi and blood burst forth by the demons into a thick pipeline of blood mist.

"Retreat!" The Demon Slayer Guards immediately formed a Formation, preparing to rush out of this temporary vacuum.

However, before they could even take a step, they suddenly saw two Spirit Martial Realm demons charge in from outside Echo Valley.

Boom! Boom!

These two Spirit Martial Realm demons emitted dense black Qi from their bodies.

They exhaled cold light, their murderous gazes locked onto the people before them.

"What!"

Two more Spirit Martial Realm demons!

The steps they had intended to take were abruptly pulled back at this moment.

Even Lu Qian couldn't help but gasp when she saw this scene.

Celestial Bone Daoist, hidden in the cave, curled his lips into a sneer.

"Hehe, within this Spirit Severing Array, I've also added a Formation that can drain your Qi and blood.

Now, countless demons are rapidly rushing here from afar!"

Celestial Bone Daoist was quite pleased with his masterpiece.

As long as these demons were here, Lu Qian and the others would find it difficult to escape.

Once the power of the Spirit Severing Array restricted Lu Qian as well, everything would be settled.

Perhaps it wouldn't even have to wait until then.

A large number of demons rapidly surged in from outside Echo Valley.

"Damn it!" "Once I get out, I will definitely dismember the person behind this!"

A flicker of anger flashed in Lu Qian's Phoenix-like beautiful eyes.

With her current strength, it was still not too late for her to leave.

These Spirit Martial Realm demons, though troublesome, couldn't stop her, as her own cultivation was not weak.

But if she left, her subordinates would completely lose all hope of survival.

She would only be able to watch as they were torn apart and devoured by these demons.

"My Lady, don't mind us!"

"My Lady, there's no need to sacrifice your life here for us; the demon chaos still needs you to resolve it!"

"That's right, My Lady, please leave quickly; leave this to us!"

The three Centurions exchanged glances, each having made up their minds.

The three of them worked under Lu Qian; she was their direct superior.

Through years of interaction, they knew Lu Qian's temperament.

At this moment, they all tried to persuade her.

"Impossible!" Lu Qian raised her hand, stopping everyone's words.

"All of you, brace yourselves!"

"Prepare to break through."

Lu Qian looked back at the depths of Echo Valley.

Clearly, the mastermind was in there, but there was no way to root him out today, nor was there any way to eliminate the demons within Echo Valley.

First, retreat and save their lives.

Suddenly, the power of the surrounding Formation descended.

Everyone felt the pressure on them suddenly increase.

Boom!

A shock flashed in Lu Qian's beautiful eyes.

This reinforcement of the Formation actually affected even her.

Her cultivation was forcibly suppressed to the fourth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm!

"What!?"

Lu Qian didn't expect the opponent's Formation to be so powerful that it could even affect her cultivation.

She couldn't help but be shocked.

Just as Lu Qian realized the situation was dire, the demons in front also took the initiative to attack.

"Roar!" "Roar!"

However, just as the two Spirit Martial Realm demons were about to lead dozens of their subordinate demons in a charge, a figure descended from the sky.

"Ming Long (Dragon's Cry)!"

Jiang Chen's figure descended from the sky.

Beneath his fist, a massive illusory Dragon shadow bloomed, clearly condensed from Body Tempering Qi.

As this punch descended from the sky, a violent tremor erupted throughout Echo Valley.

Boom!

Bang! Bang!

The two Spirit Martial Realm demons were instantly pulverized by this single punch.

The bursting fist force further tore apart the mixed group of dozens of Xiantian Realm and Houtian Realm demons.

"Ding... Kill Value +45" "Ding... Cultivation Value +4800"

This was the combined harvest from that single strike.

Otherwise, the System notifications would have been incessant.

"Hmm?" Lu Qian's beautiful eyes trembled, and as the fist force dispersed, even her chest rippled.

"What powerful fist force!"

Not only that, the Dragon's Cry that erupted from beneath the fist force resonated throughout the entire valley.

All the demons within Echo Valley had their Physical Bodies explode under Jiang Chen's punch.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bodies of many demons exploded on the spot.

Lu Qian and another Spirit Martial Realm Centurion also timely released their Spiritual Qi to protect everyone, preventing them from being attacked by the sound waves.

"Ding... Kill Value +145" "Ding... Cultivation Value +8650"

Within the entire Echo Valley, only one Late Stage Spirit Martial Realm demon remained alive; all other demons were shock killed.

It was also thanks to the terrain of Echo Valley, which amplified the power of Jiang Chen's Ming Long Fist.

"What!" "This is impossible!"

Celestial Bone Daoist, hidden in the cave, suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood.

Even the Formation he had prepared in advance failed to stop this wave of attacks.

When Celestial Bone Daoist saw through the Formation that the person who appeared was Jiang Chen, the very person mentioned in the previous message, his rage soared!

"It's you again, Jiang Chen!" "I swear to the heavens, I will have no end with you!"

"This isn't over!"

Celestial Bone Daoist picked up the Formation Plate on the ground, intending to turn and retreat via a backup route.

As Jiang Chen's punch landed, and the sound wave attack shattered the surrounding demons, Celestial Bone Daoist knew that the tide had turned.

Even with the Spirit Severing Array, it would be difficult to slay Lu Qian and the others.

Just as Celestial Bone Daoist turned to flee, he vaguely saw a figure attacking from behind.

Before Celestial Bone Daoist could clearly see, Chu Yun slashed at Celestial Bone Daoist's neck with a saber.

Pfft!

Immediately, blood spurted three zhang high.

"Jiang Chen was right; if you don't use Spiritual Qi to cut, your defensive talisman won't activate."

Chu Yun delivered a back kick, sending Celestial Bone Daoist's head flying like a ball.

Then, she said disdainfully, "You want to have no end with my man?"

"Then it's good that you're dead."
