101: Twenty thousand points!

Inside Echo Valley.

Jiang Chen's punch, descending from the sky, annihilated almost all the demons within Echo Valley.

This scene left Lu Qian and the others even more astonished.

Lu Qian's rosy little mouth hung wide open.

Her beautiful eyes continuously scrutinized Jiang Chen, as if trying to discern his origins, wondering who he truly was.

The Centurions and Banner Officers under her command didn't even dare to breathe.

What was the background of this handsome young man before them?

Could it be a Prodigy from the Imperial City? Or a top Prodigy from Sacred Martial Academy?

"Greetings, esteemed sirs."

"I am Jiang Chen, a Demon Suppressing Envoy from Dongfeng Town."

"Commander Sun Yuliang from the Southern Front ordered me to come as reinforcement."

"This is my official token."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he tossed out his official token.

Lu Qian took the token Jiang Chen threw, and after verifying the hidden patterns on it, confirmed Jiang Chen's identity.

However, upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, she immediately felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

"Jiang Chen... are you Chu Yun's friend?"

Lu Qian suddenly remembered.

Earlier, after Chu Yun drew the death lot, she had specifically asked Lu Qian to transfer some items to Jiang Chen in Dongfeng Town.

But unexpectedly, before she even had a chance to find Jiang Chen, he suddenly appeared before her like a divine soldier descending from the heavens.

Not only was Lu Qian curious, but many Demon Slayer Guards were also very curious about Jiang Chen.

However, thinking that Chu Yun had likely already fallen into the mouths of demons, everyone's mood became somber again.

They even felt a bit apprehensive about facing this spirited young man.

Jiang Chen had rushed here from such a great distance, undoubtedly for Chu Yun, but if he were to learn that news, they wouldn't know how to handle it.

"I am Yun-jie's friend. When I came earlier, I happened to meet Yun-jie. She's fine."

Jiang Chen noticed everyone's low spirits and Lu Qian's somewhat evasive expression.

After all, she was Chu Yun's superior.

She naturally couldn't escape responsibility for Chu Yun's predicament.

However, upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone was startled.

Chu Yun is fine?

A glimmer of hope seemed to rekindle in everyone's eyes.

Even Lu Qian had an uncontainable surprise hidden in her eyes, as she didn't know if Jiang Chen was telling the truth.

However, a surge of hope welled up in her heart.

Sending her subordinates to their deaths was always hard to bear.

If possible, Lu Qian wouldn't mind sacrificing her own life.

"Whoosh!"

Chu Yun's figure soared along the mountain wall.

In her hand, she held a human head.

"Greetings, sir!"

"Chu Yun? You're really alright? That's wonderful!"

Lu Qian was so excited that she stepped forward and gave Chu Yun a fierce hug.

Right in front of Jiang Chen, he watched as the two women, of similar height, hugged and then bounced apart due to each other's bosoms.

This scene was a bit stimulating.

It must be said that Deputy Commander Lu Qian herself was a stunning beauty, exuding an intellectual charm, steady, composed, and knowledgeable.

Although her legs weren't as Heaven-Defying as Chu Yun's, they were slender yet shapely, and the most eye-catching feature was undoubtedly her naturally plump buttocks; one couldn't imagine the sight from behind.

"Thank you, sir, and all my colleagues for your concern. This is what I found inside the cave, the person behind the Formation trap!"

Chu Yun handed the head in her hand to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian took it and her beautiful eyes immediately showed a hint of shock.

"It's Celestial Bone Daoist, a Protector of the Ten Evils Hall from the Wuzui Sect!"

"As expected, the Wuzui Sect is behind this!"

"Chu Yun, you've done very well. You completed the death lot mission and killed a Protector of the Ten Evils Hall! Such a great achievement must be rewarded."

"However, for now, you all should step back. Let me deal with that Spirit Martial Realm demon first."

Lu Qian said.

She drew the long saber from her waist.

The purpose of this trip was to kill this Late Stage Spirit Martial Realm demon.

It was precisely because this demon was hidden in Echo Valley, constantly summoning other demons to attack, causing great trouble for the Southern Front's defense.

As long as this demon was killed, the defensive pressure on the Southern Front would significantly decrease, and it might even turn the tide of battle.

But it was equally dangerous; if not for Jiang Chen.

Lu Qian and her group would have likely been annihilated in Echo Valley, let alone killing the demon.

Jiang Chen's Ming Long Fist earlier, although it didn't directly kill the demon, caused it considerable shock.

Now, seizing the opportunity while it hadn't yet recovered, delivering a fatal blow was naturally the best course of action.

Especially since the Spirit Severing Array had disappeared, everyone's strength had recovered, and Lu Qian's cultivation had also returned to the sixth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm.

Jiang Chen and everyone else also moved to the side.

For this last demon, Jiang Chen didn't try to snatch the kill.

After all, this was Deputy Commander Lu Qian's team operation.

If all the tough opponents were resolved by Jiang Chen, wouldn't it be like doing all the work for him? How would she make a name for herself when she returned?

Therefore, this final credit naturally had to be given to Lu Qian.

At the same time, Jiang Chen also carefully observed Lu Qian's move.

Lu Qian's Saber Technique had reached the Major Achievement stage.

When she made her move, the surrounding forces of heaven and earth seemed to turn into her own aid.

Each saber strike was powerful and heavy.

Judging by this stance, if this saber strike landed, it would have at least five hundred thousand jin of force.

After all, Lu Qian's weapon was also a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

The demon, already heavily wounded by Jiang Chen's Ming Long (Dragon's Cry) Fist, was unable to withstand many moves under Lu Qian's assault and was easily slain.

Seeing Lu Qian cleave off the demon's head with a single saber strike, everyone's spirits were lifted!

Although they didn't help much in this final moment of their journey, at least the beheading mission was completed, and everyone would be credited with merit.

As for the merit Chu Yun received, they weren't envious.

After all, they could all imagine.

How difficult it was to survive under the assault of dozens of Xiantian Realm demons.

If it were anyone else, they would have probably been reduced to dust long ago.

A mission that required a death lot could not be simple.

This was all earned by Chu Yun with her life.

"Use the Talisman Scrolls to blow up the entire Echo Valley, and start purifying the demonic Qi from here."

Lu Qian said, and then everyone went to set up the Talisman Scrolls.

Talisman Scrolls have many effects, and those that can be made into bomb-like Talisman Scrolls are also very common.

Talisman Scrolls and Formation stones are still different.

Now that the demonic cloud was spreading and covering everything, Cangzhou City's City Lord's Mansion naturally had a countermeasure.

It was similar to this: as long as the strong demon's stronghold was destroyed, these demonic clouds would then be purified with Talisman Scrolls.

This would prevent the demonic Qi from spreading.

Thus, reducing the range in which demons could freely operate.

Of course, these demons could also move out of the demonic cloud's coverage area, but in that case, their combat power would be greatly weakened.

The current demonic attacks involved powerful demons constantly occupying strategically important strongholds, accelerating the demonic cloud's coverage speed.

And then continuing to advance.

"Sir, I'm quite interested in these Talisman Scrolls. Could you let me try?"

Everyone retreated outside Echo Valley, and just as Lu Qian was about to detonate them, Jiang Chen quickly said.

"Alright."

Lu Qian didn't refuse; it wasn't a big deal. Since Jiang Chen was interested, she let him try.

Jiang Chen took a Talisman Scroll specifically used for remote control and then crushed it.

This thing was like a remote-controlled bomb.

With a loud bang.

From the Talisman Scrolls buried in various places, towering flames erupted.

The flames, like an angry Dragon, soared into the sky, devouring the demonic clouds within a hundred-li radius.

"Ding... Cultivation value +20000"
