59: Demonic lair appears

The Horse Face Protector was actually startled and took a small step back by Jiang Chen's Aura.

What kind of monster is this guy?

However, no matter what this guy is, leaving here is the most important thing!

Immediately, the Horse Face Protector let out a low growl.

A burst of demonic Qi erupted from his body, infused into his legs, and he rapidly sprinted towards the distance.

He saw that although Jiang Chen had immense strength, his Spiritual Qi cultivation was weak, merely at the Houtian Realm.

He decided not to entangle with him further, and to make plans after leaving this place.

However, just as the Horse Face Protector turned and swiftly dashed ten zhang away,

He suddenly heard a gust of wind by his ear.

He turned his head and found that Jiang Chen had already appeared behind him.

"What!"

"How is he so fast!"

The Horse Face Protector exclaimed in his heart.

But the movements of his hands did not stop; he raised a claw and struck at Jiang Chen.

The demonic Qi transformed into a giant claw.

It was the same move that had severely injured Chu Yun earlier.

However, Jiang Chen merely raised his left arm, blocking in front of his head.

Bang!

Jiang Chen, relying on his Physical Body, easily shattered that claw print.

Then, under the shocked and terrified gaze of the Horse Face Protector,

He threw a punch.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the Horse Face Protector also experienced what his companion had felt earlier.

He finally understood.

There is no true empathy in the world.

Unless one truly takes the same punch.

"Ding... Kill Value +1"

"Ding... Cultivation Value +100"

Jiang Chen patted his arm.

He was secretly surprised.

"So my defense is also this strong? It doesn't hurt at all."

It's also possible that guy was exhausted.

Jiang Chen picked up the Horse Face Protector's Storage Ring, then took off the goatee's Storage Ring and very naturally tucked it into his pocket.

At the same time, he also retrieved Chu Yun's Black Scale Blade.

But unfortunately, the Black Scale Blade had already become a battle-damaged version, with a long crack on it; if it were to receive another heavy blow, it would likely collapse directly.

"You... just how much Divine Power do you have?"

Chu Yun looked at Jiang Chen, finding it quite unbelievable.

"If it's 'just how much,' most people can't handle it."

Jiang Chen said very seriously.

Hearing Jiang Chen's unprovoked teasing, Chu Yun's pretty face immediately flushed.

"Smart mouth."

However, Chu Yun did not ask further; in this world, might makes right, and no one cares how your power comes to be.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had saved her life again.

"Xiao Chen, you've saved my life twice in a row; I'm afraid even giving you my legs wouldn't be enough to repay you, so how about... tonight, older sister..."

After escaping death, Chu Yun's mood also improved considerably.

For a moment, her almond eyes were filled with spring, and her words carried a hint of flirtatious testing.

After all, that night, she had been so intimate with Jiang Chen that she had already acknowledged him in her heart, and her cold illness could only be cured by Jiang Chen; she could hardly leave Jiang Chen in this life, so what was the harm in being more open and direct?

"If Sister Yun is willing, I don't mind."

"But Sister Yun, your injuries aren't healed yet; I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Jiang Chen said seriously.

At this moment, Jiang Chen helped Chu Yun, who was sitting on the ground, to her feet.

In reality, Chu Yun had always guarded her chastity.

The last time, it was only because Chu Yun was bewitched that she so boldly pulled Jiang Chen into the corner.

Of course, on another note, it was also because Chu Yun wanted to prove that she was a woman of her word.

She didn't want to ruin her image in Jiang Chen's heart.

Just as Chu Yun's emotions were a bit hazy, Jiang Chen suddenly whispered in her ear.

"Sister Yun, you should heal your injuries first."

Jiang Chen's words instantly woke Chu Yun up.

This bad guy.

Chu Yun playfully punched Jiang Chen's chest.

However, Chu Yun naturally knew in her heart that in broad daylight, with her severely injured and the crisis of the demonic den, and who knows how many Tian Po Sect members nearby, it was clearly not the best time or place.

It's just that this guy was too wicked, stirring someone up and then retreating completely.

When their bodies touched just now, Chu Yun recalled the last time Jiang Chen healed her, and her heart immediately fluttered.

"Then I'll heal first, and after we go back, older sister will reward you handsomely."

Afterward, Jiang Chen found a cave for Chu Yun.

Learning that Jiang Chen had rescued Zhao Jintian and the others, Chu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the matter of City Lord Pan Zhengyang, Jiang Chen did not elaborate.

Anyway, Pan Zhengyang and Ding Xie died together, so they were considered to have died in the line of duty.

When she learned that Jiang Chen had also slain Soul-Slaying Blade, one of the Twelve Butchers of the Tian Po Sect, Chu Yun's bright eyes widened.

But on second thought, even two Xiantian Realm Protectors had died at Jiang Chen's hands, so there was nothing more to say.

Although the two Xiantian Realm Protectors had been somewhat depleted by Chu Yun's attacks and were not at their peak, killing them was still very difficult.

"Something's not right; the Twelve Butchers of the Tian Po Sect basically don't act alone."

"They might not all twelve arrive at once, but at least six or more will act together."

"And as long as three of them join forces, they can even slay a Xiantian Realm expert."

Chu Yun suddenly thought.

Plus, the Tian Po Sect had sent two more Protectors, so there certainly wouldn't be just this few people.

Just as Chu Yun was pondering,

The dark clouds on Wu Mao Mountain suddenly rolled, and a wisp of black Qi, like a waterfall, seemed to fall from the dark clouds.

Chu Yun immediately stopped healing, rushed out of the cave, and looked in the direction where the black Qi was falling.

"Oh no, this is a sign that the demonic den is about to take shape!"

"If the demonic den fully opens, not only will tens of thousands of demons rush out, but the demonic Qi it unleashes will also render everything within a hundred-li radius barren. I must stop it!"

Chu Yun said hurriedly.

This was her duty as a Black Yamen Demon Slaying Guard.

"Alright."

"How do I use this Demon Suppression Talisman? Tell me."

"You just stay here and heal properly."

Jiang Chen grabbed Chu Yun, who was about to rush out, and pulled her back.

"You go?"

Chu Yun was stunned.

In terms of strength, perhaps Jiang Chen's strength was even greater than hers.

But venturing deep into the demonic heartland, there were still unknown dangers awaiting.

Jiang Chen was actually willing to sacrifice himself and go!?

"If you go, there's only a dead end; you know that better than I do."

Jiang Chen said lightly.

Then, with a thought, he retrieved the thousand-jin broadsword he had just bought from his Storage Ring and slung it over his back.

Chu Yun gritted her silver teeth.

After much deliberation, she still took out the Demon Suppression Talisman from her hand.

The Demon Suppression Talisman looked like a Jade Slip on the surface, with many complex patterns carved on it.

"At the beginning of its formation, the demonic den is a black vortex gate."

"As long as you throw the Demon Suppression Talisman into that vortex gate, you can seal it."

"However, this vortex gate can appear anywhere and is very hidden."

"Earlier, we needed to search for it with our naked eyes, but now we only need to follow that black Qi waterfall to reach it."

"But similarly, all nearby demons, as well as the Tian Po Sect members, will definitely be guarding that vortex gate."

Chu Yun handed the Demon Suppression Talisman to Jiang Chen.

"Remember, if there's no opportunity, retreat. Never force it. Even if the demonic den forms, the Black Yamen will have subsequent means to deal with it."

"They will guard the vortex gate to the death and will not pursue."

Chu Yun earnestly admonished.

"Preserving your life is the first priority."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

These words were indeed true.

Even if the demonic den truly formed, it wouldn't be enough to overturn the entire Great Lan Dynasty; it would just be the common people who suffered.

"Understood."

Jiang Chen turned to leave.

At this moment, Chu Yun, as if possessed, hurriedly reached out and grabbed Jiang Chen.

Before Jiang Chen could react, a soft, fragrant body pressed against him.

Chu Yun had intended for a light kiss.

A quick touch and then separate.

But she didn't expect to be embraced by Jiang Chen.

For a long time.

Chu Yun stood steady, leaning against the edge of the cave, watching Jiang Chen's departing figure. Her cheeks were like burning iron, and she lightly bit her red lip, her eyes filled with disbelief, yet also satisfaction.

"This guy... actually stretched..."
