123: Fenglan Sword Sect!

Demon King?

Evidently, the Demon King of this Earth-Rank Demon Cave is an Earth Martial Realm demon.

Originally, when the Earth-Rank Demon Cave appeared in the Qingyun Mountain Range, its scope wasn't very large. When that Earth Martial Realm demon was about to rush out and release a massive amount of Demonic Qi, the City Lord of Cangzhou City made a move, repelling the Earth Martial Realm demon, but also suffering significant injuries!

At the very least, it halted the Earth Martial Realm demon's advance in releasing Demonic Qi.

Logically, the remaining low-level demons should have been easily suppressed by the Black Yamen and the Demon Slayer Army.

However, many people suffered sneak attacks.

Even among the Black Yamen Demon Slaying Guard, one Deputy Commander, along with the five Centurions and over sixty Banner Officers under his command, were all slain!

The number of casualties among the junior officers was countless.

Although the City Lord later realized the situation was amiss, it was already too late.

The Demon King attacked again, breaching the defense line.

The situation then took a sharp turn for the worse, leading to the current predicament.

If not for the Wuzui Sect's covert actions, Cangzhou City would not have suffered such immense losses.

Now, the Demon King seems to have completed its preparations.

It is about to fully unleash its offensive.

Jiang Chen also sensed that at the center of the Demonic Qi, a terrifying demonic aura was condensing and taking shape.

Moreover, the Demon King's strength is extremely powerful, at least Earth Martial Realm third layer, or even Earth Martial Realm fourth layer!

It is far beyond what Qi Baifeng, a mere Earth Martial Realm first layer, could compare to.

Ye Wanqiu's face held a thoughtful expression as she pondered what to do next.

With her strength alone, trying to stop the Demon King's advance would naturally be a fool's errand; going would only lead to a futile death.

As the Demonic Qi emanated from the Demon King,

the power of some demons within the demonic miasma also directly increased by several folds.

Jiang Chen casually picked up the Storage Rings of Qi Baifeng and Jin Zhaolun from the ground.

When he killed Qi Baifeng earlier, although Jiang Chen didn't hold back, he did control the direction of his power, trying to avoid shattering the opponent's Storage Ring. Fortunately, it didn't break.

Who knows how many good things are inside the Storage Ring of an Earth Martial Realm expert.

Ye Wanqiu didn't stop him. These people were killed by Jiang Chen, so the spoils of war should belong to him.

Afterward, Jiang Chen also took out his Azure Lightning Fire Blade.

He prepared to walk forward.

Seeing this, Ye Wanqiu quickly asked,

"You... are you going to delve deeper?"

"Yes, this is my mission."

Jiang Chen nodded.

At this moment, with the demons launching a frantic attack, it was a great opportunity to gain Kill Value and Cultivation Value. How could he waste it?

However, Jiang Chen glanced at Ye Wanqiu warily.

"That... you shouldn't go. Thank you for your help this time. You should go and rejoin the main force."

Ye Wanqiu's movement technique was very strong. If they really fought, Jiang Chen's speed might not be able to keep up with her.

After all, Ye Wanqiu's Saber Technique was deadly with every strike, incredibly sharp.

At least, it was the fastest killing Saber Technique Jiang Chen had ever seen.

Of course, Jiang Chen believed that once he Cultivated the Dragon Snake Wandering Void Step to Great Perfection, he wouldn't be much worse than Ye Wanqiu.

Ye Wanqiu's beautiful eyes narrowed.

"Then be extra careful."

She had originally left the team at Sheng Lingyao's request for this trip.

If she didn't return, and the academy team suffered significant losses, she wouldn't be able to account for it.

"Hmm, by the way, you helped me, but I still don't know your name."

Jiang Chen asked.

After knowing this guy's name, he would have to avoid her in the future.

"My name is Ye Wanqiu."

"I am Sheng Lingyao's Senior Sister. She was the one who informed me that Jin Zhaolun and others might harm you, but now it seems her worries were unnecessary."

Ye Wanqiu said, her mind recalling the Heavenly Martial Realm level of power Jiang Chen had just unleashed.

Jiang Chen was so young, yet possessed such powerful strength.

It would likely not be easy to catch up to him.

But Ye Wanqiu believed that as long as she gave her all, one day, she would surely surpass Jiang Chen!

"Sheng Lingyao? I don't know her."

"But thank you anyway. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

Jiang Chen cupped his fist at Ye Wanqiu, then used his movement technique and rushed towards the Demon Cave.

"Hmm??"

"Doesn't know Lingyao?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ye Wanqiu was also momentarily stunned.

In Ye Wanqiu's opinion, shouldn't they have been in a very close relationship?

Otherwise, Sheng Lingyao wouldn't have rushed to ask her for help.

And Jiang Chen actually said he didn't know her?

"Perhaps it was Lingyao's friend who asked her..."

Ye Wanqiu thought to herself, not dwelling on it further.

However, upon realizing that Jiang Chen and Sheng Lingyao were not in a close relationship, Ye Wanqiu unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing the demonic winds swirling around, Ye Wanqiu no longer hesitated. She leaped and darted in the opposite direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground not far away exploded, and then powerful demons leaped out from underground, roaring ferociously with bared fangs and claws.

The already massive bodies of the demons, coupled with the terrifying, eerie demonic miasma swirling around, would surely make anyone who witnessed this scene tremble with fear. However, Jiang Chen charged forward with extreme excitement.

With the Cast Profound Golden Body Skill unleashed, Jiang Chen, relying on this defensive Martial Arts, completely ignored the demons' attacks.

The Azure Lightning Fire Blade swiftly cut out.

The bodies of the demons exploded one after another.

"Ding... Kill Value +1"

"Ding... Cultivation Value +600"

"Ding... Kill Value +1..."

These were basically all Innate Realm demons.

Jiang Chen's Cultivation Value also kept increasing.

When it reached its limit, he immediately Broke through his Cultivation without a word.

"Consume Cultivation Value! Breakthrough!"

Jiang Chen's mind stirred.

His Spiritual Qi Cultivation then stepped into the Spirit Martial Realm fourth layer.

Jiang Chen fought his way through.

His Kill Value also directly maxed out, accumulating over two hundred points.

Of course, many of these also came from the martial arts puppet.

But perhaps because the demons' power greatly increased, the martial arts puppet was shattered not long after the Demon King's aura erupted.

And the scene before the martial arts puppet was shattered was imprinted in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Hmm?"

"The martial arts puppet was not killed by demons."

"Who are these people?"

"Judging by their attire, they are not from the Wuzui Sect!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen found the identity of the person who made the move from the memories he had previously Soul Searched from Jinlu City.

His face instantly changed.

There was also an unbelievable look in his eyes.

One of the four top Sects within the Great Lan Dynasty.

Fenglan Sword Sect!

Apparently, the martial arts puppet accidentally intruded into these people's hiding place and was eventually killed by one of them.

Little did they know, Jiang Chen could access the martial arts puppet's perspective.

Jiang Chen obviously hadn't expected that someone from the Fenglan Sword Sect would also be involved in this matter.

Although these people deliberately changed into disguised clothing,

the moves and techniques they used remained unchanged.

"Isn't Yun-jie's fiancé from the Fenglan Sword Sect?"

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed.

The accumulation during this period had greatly increased Jiang Chen's Divine Soul power.

The Soul Searching Technique could also barely be used twice a day now.

It seemed he had to find an opportunity to update his intelligence.

Since they were here, none of these people would escape.

Jiang Chen glanced at his panel.

Kill Value: 259

He then looked at his five-times amplification scroll.

Jiang Chen found a relatively secluded and desolate cave, where all the surrounding demons had been cleared out.

First, he filled the martial arts puppet's Body Tempering Qi.

The next moment, the martial arts puppet was fully revived.

If not for the Body Forging Azure Flame and the great desolate burning qi cauldron, Jiang Chen's Body Tempering Qi would not have recovered so quickly.

He had the martial arts puppet guard the cave entrance.

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, and with a thought, summoned the martial arts scroll.

"Ding... Consuming 180 Kill Value, opening the martial arts scroll."

"martial arts scroll: Current three-choice selection"

"One: Physical Body Cultivation increases by eighty thousand jin..."
