157: Who is the demon?

Jiang Chen didn't bother to open the martial arts scroll. Instead, he used the Dragon Snake Wandering Void Step to rush towards the Demon Palace.

He was now a Demon Slayer Guard.

Earlier, at Purple Bamboo Manor, Cheng Yurou had also crammed a lot of knowledge about demons and told Jiang Chen everything.

This allowed Jiang Chen to understand the situation of these demons.

Sometimes, when a rift is forcibly broken, it forms a demon den, but other times, a Demon Palace appears directly.

Perhaps it was related to tonight's Red Moon Night.

He was well aware of the situation with Demon Palaces, so he didn't dare to delay in the slightest.

“Excellent!”

“This Demon Palace is my best hunting ground!”

“Before the Demon Palace fully descends, these demons cannot leave the palace, and the demon guards around the High-Level Demon are at least Xiantian Realm demons.”

“My Physical Body and Spiritual Qi have already reached the Spirit Martial Realm.”

“I need to kill at least Xiantian Realm enemies to gain Kill Value!”

Although Jiang Chen was unwilling, he had no choice. His cultivation was constantly improving; even if he wanted to stop, the great desolate burning qi cauldron would force him to advance.

Now, Jiang Chen could only hope that the Kill Value required to activate the martial arts scroll would stop increasing after reaching a certain point.

It might even start decreasing.

That would be more logical.

Otherwise, where would he find hundreds of Martial King Realm experts to kill?

Even demons might not have that many.

And coincidentally, this newly appeared Demon Palace was full of demons above the Xiantian Realm, which was a heaven-sent gift for Jiang Chen.

Once the Demon Palace fully descended, these guys would scatter everywhere, and it would be troublesome to kill them then.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen's figure swept through the mountain range.

He even deliberately avoided Xu Yang and the other Demon Slayer Guards.

If they discovered him, they would probably stop him.

Finally, the Demon Palace appeared before his eyes.

This massive Demon Palace, though called a palace,

was actually more like layers of huge earthen fortresses.

Its shape was very similar to a pyramid.

There were five layers in total.

One had to ascend from the bottom layer, one by one, until finally reaching the High-Level Demon's dwelling.

After Jiang Chen approached the Demon Palace, he leaped and rushed into it.

Xu Yang in the distance seemed to sense something, immediately looking back, but he didn't see any figures.

He frowned instantly.

He always had a feeling of being watched.

“Stay alert, everyone!”

Xu Yang shouted in a low voice.

Everyone also forced themselves to stay alert, concentrating on observing their surroundings, absolutely not allowing anyone to approach the Demon Palace. Who knew what intentions people approaching this place at this time had?

At the same time, they also had to guard against external demons approaching after sensing the call of the Demon Palace.

In half an hour at most,

the summoning bell inside the Demon Palace would surely ring.

It was fortunate that this time, they happened to encounter this Demon Palace.

Otherwise, if the Demon Palace appeared silently, by the time you noticed something was wrong, the demon army would have already besieged the city.

At least there was still some chance now.

Lord Lu Qian used her life to buy them time, so they naturally couldn't waste it in vain or make any mistakes.

Inside the Demon Palace.

Before them was a wide passage, and the earthen walls on both sides had numerous openings, from which an incredibly foul stench emanated.

These openings were all demon lairs.

Equivalent to their bedrooms.

And the stairs to the second floor were at the very end of this passage.

Lu Qian held the Black Gold Blood Moon Blade in her right hand.

And a dagger in her left hand.

One long, one short.

She moved forward through this passage.

These demons seemed to be unaware that they had already arrived in the Great Lan Dynasty.

Or perhaps they were deliberately hiding.

Lu Qian was very surprised in her heart.

The demons seemed to be in slumber and had not appeared.

But Lu Qian was not careless and advanced cautiously.

Just as Lu Qian walked to the middle of the first-floor passage.

Suddenly.

From the wall openings on both sides, hundreds of Xiantian Realm demons suddenly rushed out.

They surrounded Lu Qian from front and back, making it impossible for her to move.

“What!”

Lu Qian's eyes trembled.

These demons were luring her deeper!

They surrounded her in the deepest part, leaving her no way to advance or retreat.

“Roar!”

Hundreds of demons simultaneously pounced.

They let out furious roars.

And terrifying Demonic Qi erupted.

Lu Qian gritted her silver teeth, a look of determination in her eyes.

The Demon Suppression Talisman could only be used at the most critical moment.

If that was the case, then she would kill!

“All of you, die!”

Lu Qian shouted in a low voice.

Wielding the twin blades in her hands, she slashed at the demons before her.

After continuously killing more than a dozen Xiantian Realm demons,

one demon actually used its head to block the long blade in Lu Qian's hand.

Clang!

Lu Qian's slash failed to split open this demon's head; instead, her long blade was snatched away by the opponent.

The long blade slipped from her hand.

Lu Qian could only rely on the short blade in her hand and her fists and feet to kill the demons.

Boom!

Lu Qian struck out with a palm.

The palm technique unleashed by the Spirit Martial Realm's Spiritual Qi, although it knocked down a group of demons, only truly killed a few, and soon the other demons rushed forward, vying for position.

The Spiritual Qi within Lu Qian's body was also rapidly depleting.

Just as Lu Qian pushed through the group of demons before her, intending to rush towards the second-floor area.

She saw a large number of demons rapidly rushing down from the second-floor passage.

And the strength of these demons had all reached the Late Stage Xiantian Realm.

Even if Lu Qian had the strength of the Late Stage Spirit Martial Realm,

facing these thick-skinned, endless demons, she still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

“Bastards...”

Lu Qian clenched her fists.

In her earlier panic, her only dagger was also knocked away by a demon.

Now, her fair, flawless palms were covered in blood, and two of her fingers were broken.

Just as Lu Qian was about to use the Demon Suppression Talisman to carve out a bloody path,

suddenly, from the entrance of that first-floor passage, a mighty Dragon roar resounded.

The next moment.

A massive Dragon phantom rolled through the passage.

Boom!

Like a colossal Dragon-shaped meat grinder,

it utterly crushed the demons piled up in the passage.

For a moment, flesh and blood fragments splattered everywhere.

“Lord Lu, catch the blade.”

Jiang Chen's voice came.

Lu Qian's pupils constricted.

From the flying blood mist, a Black Gold Blood Moon Blade flew towards her.

Lu Qian was quick-witted, grasping the long blade and, with a backhand slash, killed three pouncing demons.

Suddenly, a demon had already leaped up, its claw striking down towards Lu Qian's head.

Just as Lu Qian reacted,

a figure rushed in, directly smashing that demon.

Crash!

Jiang Chen's figure landed.

Lu Qian's eyes widened.

Just now... Jiang Chen used his body to smash that demon?

Who exactly was the demon!?
