115: Are you all ready?

Acting with Jin Baoguang?

Could there be a better opportunity than this?

Moreover, besides Jin Baoguang and his Holy Martial Guards, no one else was participating in this trip, which was simply a heaven-sent opportunity for Jiang Chen.

Although Li Tianheng meant well, Jiang Chen certainly couldn't let such a good opportunity slip away.

What's more, if Li Tianheng wanted to protect him, Jin Baoguang might have other, more malicious ideas, so it was better to turn his scheme against him.

Li Tianheng looked at Jiang Chen, who nodded confidently.

Lu Qian and Chu Yun exchanged glances, clearly not expecting Jiang Chen to voluntarily accept this task.

However, Lu Qian had some understanding of Jiang Chen's strength.

Although Jin Baoguang was also at the Spirit Martial Realm, he hadn't even grasped the Major Achievement Concept of his best palm technique. If he truly faced Jiang Chen, Jin Baoguang would not have much of an advantage.

As for Chu Yun, she naturally chose to trust Jiang Chen and believed he would not act rashly.

However, Chu Yun also planned to discuss with Lu Qian about transferring herself to help Jiang Chen, so she could feel more at ease.

Since Cultivating the Great Vehicle Emperor Yin Art, Chu Yun's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.

The Innate Profound Yin Qi within her body had also been refined by herself, allowing Chu Yun's cultivation to reach the first layer of the Spirit Martial Realm.

In terms of combat power, apart from Jin Baoguang, the other Holy Martial Guards were no match for her.

Jin Baoguang hadn't expected this kid, Jiang Chen, to be so confident.

To knowingly jump into a pit of fire, he either had absolute confidence and strength, or he was a fool!

In Jin Baoguang's eyes, Jiang Chen was naturally the latter.

Perhaps Jiang Chen thought his plan was merely to use people from the Holy Martial Bureau to deal with him.

That would be a huge mistake.

His Jin Baoguang's connections were so vast that even the City Lord had to respect him three parts!

To kill a Jiang Chen like him, he didn't need to act personally at all.

Jiang Chen had destroyed the Lei Family Fortress and killed the Black Cloud Daoist. Although Celestial Bone Daoist died at Chu Yun's hands, it didn't matter whose hands he died in; Jin Baoguang would decide that. Once this news was released, many people would be eager to deal with Jiang Chen.

Even if Jiang Chen didn't agree, he had many ways to deal with him.

However, this Jiang Chen was quite sensible.

"Hehe, Lord Lu, don't worry. The person I borrowed from you, I will definitely return him to you intact."

Jin Baoguang said to Lu Qian.

This was to block any threats Lu Qian might have wanted to utter.

But Lu Qian wasn't paying attention to Jin Baoguang at the moment.

Instead, her gaze was fixed on Jiang Chen.

"This talisman can release a fifth-grade Profound Light Shield. Even the attacks of an Earth Martial Realm expert can be resisted to some extent."

"If the situation is bad, immediately retreat. Don't worry about other matters; preserving your life is the most important thing."

Jiang Chen looked at Lu Qian's serious beautiful eyes and the talisman slip she handed him, and his heart warmed.

"Lord Lu, I'll go with Jiang Chen."

Chu Yun said from the side.

"No need. You stay obediently with Lord Lu. After I finish here, I'll come find you. Don't worry about me."

Jiang Chen said, smoothly accepting the protective Jade Slip Lu Qian handed him.

This item was a fifth-grade, clearly of considerable value.

Since Lord Lu was so thoughtful, how could Jiang Chen disappoint her?

"Thank you, Lord Lu."

Although he wasn't acting with Chu Yun this time, Jiang Chen had already given the Six Harmonies Demon-Locking Sword Formation to Chu Yun. If she encountered danger, preserving her life wouldn't be an issue.

"Mm, be careful yourself."

Lu Qian nodded slightly.

Afterward, everyone returned to prepare their equipment.

Shen Lingshu remained at the camp.

Currently, Shen Lingshu didn't need to slay demons. Lu Qian had greeted Li Tianheng and explained that Shen Lingshu was now her Disciple. She didn't need to do other tasks; focusing on improving her strength was most important.

Jiang Chen also gave the protective Jade Slip that Lu Qian had given him to Shen Lingshu.

"You must be extra careful. I will Cultivate diligently and catch up as soon as possible!"

Shen Lingshu looked at Jiang Chen with determined eyes.

She wasn't a girl who was used to being protected.

She was also a hunter in the jungle.

Of course, Shen Lingshu also clearly understood that if she had the opportunity to improve her strength now, she must strive to do so.

"Okay."

Jiang Chen nodded. He was quite confident in Shen Lingshu; this girl had many clever ideas.

As for Chu Yun, Jiang Chen wasn't overly worried.

With Lu Qian and the Six Harmonies Demon-Locking Sword Formation, nothing serious would happen.

The other Demon Slayer Guards weren't dead either.

Although these demons were fierce, most of them could no longer pose a threat to Lu Qian, unless dozens or hundreds of them swarmed her, in which case she might become exhausted.

Before the gathering, Jiang Chen also refilled the Body Tempering Qi of the martial arts puppet.

Currently, Jiang Chen commanded seven hundred thousand catties of Body Tempering Qi.

Eighty percent of this power also gave the martial arts puppet a terrifying strength of five hundred and sixty thousand catties.

Even Innate Realm Peak demons, under the charge of the Hell Wolf, would only be crushed into minced meat.

"A Spirit Martial Realm Body Cultivator at Peak strength can reach seven hundred thousand catties of immense power. The martial arts puppet's strength is equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Martial Realm."

Jiang Chen arrived at the Holy Martial Guards' assembly point.

More than twenty Holy Martial Guards were already fully prepared, clad in silver armor, and even their warhorses wore heavy armor. Their equipment was much more superior than that of the Demon Slayer Guards.

The two main duties of the Holy Martial Guards were to inspect officials and to kill enemies by imperial decree.

There were also many experts among them, but most were just there for the official position and benefits.

However, the Holy Martial Guards didn't look like they were going to slay demons. Instead, their gazes were fixed on Jiang Chen, with a hint of mockery in their expressions.

Jiang Chen had not only killed Jin Baoguang.

He had also killed two Holy Martial Guards!

No one cared about those two Holy Martial Guards, but they did.

They were all part of a common interest group. If one of them was harmed within this group, it meant that the others might also be threatened.

No one had ever dared to target the Holy Martial Guards so arrogantly.

It hadn't happened before, and it absolutely couldn't happen in the future.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was destined for death.

Jiang Chen saw from afar the uniform, man-eating gazes of the Holy Martial Guards.

Very good.

They were all birds of a feather.

That made killing them much easier.

"Lord Jin, when do we depart? I can't wait any longer."

Jiang Chen calmly approached Jin Baoguang and said.

"Hehe, I thought I was anxious, but I didn't expect you to be even more anxious than me. I can feel your eager desire to achieve great things."

Jin Baoguang chuckled, no longer feigning pleasantries.

He waved his hand.

"Depart!"

The line of Holy Martial Guards immediately raised their military banners.

The soldiers in front opened the barricade.

Jiang Chen also mounted a black horse and charged out of the camp with the Holy Martial Guards.

Some demons lurking in the nearby forest also rushed out to attack the squad.

But the Holy Martial Guards on both sides raised their spears and cut them down.

Compared to two days ago, the coverage of the demon cloud overhead had clearly shrunk considerably.

Jin Baoguang led the Holy Martial Guards, swiftly charging into the area beneath the demon cloud.

Besides the demon cloud covering the sky.

A dense mass of demonic Qi also surged up from the ground.

Jin Baoguang deliberately led the squad towards the densest part of the demonic Qi.

His intentions were clear.

Rumble!

The thundering hooves charged into a dense forest. Black mist permeated the area, and visibility was no more than three zhang.

Jin Baoguang's lips curved, his eyes glinting with a cold, sinister light. He pulled on the reins, about to turn back and give orders.

But he saw.

Jiang Chen, who was closely following him, suddenly stepped onto his horse's back, his figure lunging fiercely towards Jin Baoguang.

He threw a punch at Jin Baoguang.

What!

This kid, he was even more decisive than him!?

Jin Baoguang's eyes widened.

The next moment, he felt a suffocating punch wind pressing down on him.

"Not good!"

Jin Baoguang thought to himself. The fifth-grade protective talisman on his armor felt the pressure at that moment, automatically shattering and releasing its power.

Buzz!

This protective talisman enveloped Jin Baoguang.

This was a fifth-grade protective talisman, and the profound light it released was enough to withstand the attacks of an Earth Martial Realm expert!

"Boom!"

Jiang Chen's fist instantly shattered the profound light shield.

He smashed his fist into Jin Baoguang's chest.

The violent fist force instantly tore through Jin Baoguang's armor defense. The force permeated, shattering Jin Baoguang's internal organs, bursting his Dantian, and breaking his bones.

Bang!

Like a puddle of stewed meat paste, he was slammed heavily against a tree trunk.

In just one encounter.

Jin Baoguang, a Spirit Martial Realm expert, was crippled without any chance to retaliate.

Jiang Chen had held back some strength at the end.

After all, there was still the Soul Searching Technique to make him suffer a bit more.

The Holy Martial Guards behind him were all greatly shocked.

Jiang Chen, however, drew out his Azure Lightning Blazing Fire Blade, a hint of ruthlessness curving his lips.

"Are you all ready?"

"Here I come."
