86: Behead!

Sheng Lingyao had never been so shocked in her life.

She was the dignified daughter of the Cangzhou City Lord.

At least within the confines of Cangzhou City, anyone with a bit of culture or reputation knew her, didn't they?

But in Jiang Chen's eyes, he seemed to have become someone with sinister intentions, deliberately approaching him to achieve a special purpose and sabotage his mission.

Moreover, she had already given her name.

This guy was definitely doing it on purpose!

Sheng Lingyao was so angry she felt like she could jump three zhang high on the spot.

But her strong wisdom still allowed her to calm down.

Leng Ping also smiled inwardly.

Yet, very few men could make the Young Miss show such agitated behavior.

Normally, when people saw Sheng Lingyao, they would either fawn over her, their faces full of flattery, or they would avoid her like the plague, hiding from her sight.

Someone like Jiang Chen, who not only ignored the Third Miss's beauty and her status but also treated her as a spy, was truly a first.

"Good fellow, how dare you ignore this Young Miss and even suspect me of being a spy!"

Sheng Lingyao gritted her teeth in frustration.

But she glanced at her surroundings.

Then she spoke to Leng Ping and the others.

"You all quickly return to the Dongyun Ridge defense line. With your strength, continuing further will be very dangerous. I don't want any of you to get into trouble."

Although Sheng Lingyao was bold and uninhibited, she was not a reckless person.

On the contrary, she was meticulous, courageous, and resourceful.

Otherwise, her father wouldn't have turned a blind eye and allowed her to bring the Family's treasures to seal the demons.

The truth was, there weren't enough people on the front lines.

Although Sheng Lingyao was the City Lord's daughter, she was also a part of Cangzhou City, and at critical moments, she should step up.

"Young Miss, how can this be!"

Leng Ping was instantly startled.

They were Sheng Lingyao's personal guards. If anything happened to Sheng Lingyao, it would be their dereliction of duty.

Protecting Sheng Lingyao was their responsibility.

How could they let Sheng Lingyao leave their sight?

"Don't worry about me. If you continue to follow, you'll only drag me down!"

"From now on, it's going to get serious."

"Take Tafeng with you too. Don't worry, if I can't win, I have my own way of escaping and won't force it."

"Give me your Wind-Thunder Bow."

Sheng Lingyao said.

Leng Ping also knew that she couldn't dissuade Sheng Lingyao, and she also clearly understood that the treasures in Sheng Lingyao's possession would surely allow her to escape from danger. If their guard team acted together, the situation would only get worse.

It was just like Jiang Chen not wanting to bring them along.

Leng Ping handed a Zhanblue longbow from the horse's side to Sheng Lingyao.

"Young Miss, take this Jade Slip with you. If you encounter danger, you must crush it to notify us!"

"Don't worry, I will. You all return quickly."

Sheng Lingyao didn't ride a horse and didn't bring her spear.

Instead, she held a treasured sword, just like Jiang Chen, and moved forward stealthily.

Hmph.

You dare to suspect me of being a spy?

I must get ahead of you and slay that Spirit Martial Realm demon!

Sheng Lingyao had a strong competitive spirit in her heart.

She would never allow herself to lose to anyone.

But the countless demons at Gathering Wind Corner were no joke.

Especially at this moment, the Devilish Qi in the surroundings was incredibly dense, and visibility was very low.

Sheng Lingyao also swallowed a Clear Heart Pill to ensure that she wouldn't be corrupted by this Devilish Qi and suffer Qi Deviation.

However, as Sheng Lingyao walked towards Gathering Wind Corner.

Her heart grew more and more alarmed.

"How could this be..."

Every three to five steps Sheng Lingyao took, she would see a massive demon corpse.

And these demon corpses had all died very cleanly.

Some were severed by long blades.

Others had their heads shattered and hearts exploded by powerful force.

Just walking this far, there were at least twenty Houtian Realm demons, including five Xiantian Realm demons.

"This... this is a Peak Xiantian Realm demon!?"

"Its internal organs have been pulverized into juice!?"

Sheng Lingyao saw a demon in front of her, collapsed in a pit.

That pit had also been forcefully smashed open.

When Sheng Lingyao saw this scene, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although her fifth-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Yaoguang Sword.

Could easily break through demon defenses.

But if her own strength was insufficient, she could very likely be restrained by the demon's flesh and blood, and in turn, be forcibly disarmed by the opponent.

It was even more impossible to directly pulverize a demon's flesh and blood to this extent.

It was definitely not something a Sharp Weapon could achieve.

Moreover, this was a Peak Xiantian Realm demon.

In terms of strength, in their eyes, its threat level was already no weaker than a Spirit Martial Realm demon.

If their team had encountered this Peak Xiantian Realm demon, they would have probably already used all their trump cards.

"That guy..."

Sheng Lingyao was even more shocked than before.

As for whether she would encounter even greater things in the future.

It was hard to say.

This was also the first time Sheng Lingyao had been so interested in a man.

Jiang Chen... Since this guy is from the Black Yamen.

Then it should be fine to ask Yun-jie about him later.

Chu Yun herself was from Cangzhou City and had known Sheng Lingyao since childhood. The two were also very good sisters.

"Even those freaks on the Sacred Martial Academy's Innate Ranking probably aren't this guy's match."

"Revered Master was right, there truly are hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers in the world."

Sheng Lingyao originally didn't believe it.

She was just a bit younger and hadn't Cultivated as long as those seniors on the Innate Ranking, but in terms of combat experience, Sheng Lingyao was also very strong. Give her another year, and she would definitely make it onto the Innate Ranking.

But after seeing Jiang Chen, Sheng Lingyao suddenly felt that.

The so-called Innate Ranking was completely a joke.

Those who truly had strength wouldn't even glance at this ranking.

Because strength was not determined by this ranking.

But by the fists in one's hands.

Suddenly.

There was a loud bang.

Sheng Lingyao heard it, and the sound seemed to come from the direction of the valley, startling her.

Could something have happened?

Having finally met such an interesting guy, Sheng Lingyao didn't intend to watch him die.

"This reckless fellow!"

Sheng Lingyao gritted her silver teeth, drew her Yaoguang Sword, executed her footwork, and charged forward, enduring the terrifying demonic aura.

However, when Sheng Lingyao rushed in.

She witnessed the most shocking scene of her life.

All around the valley were terrifying saber marks and flames.

Some demons maintained their attacking posture, but all of them had fallen on the spot.

And all of them had terrifying wounds on their bodies, as if they had been swept by a scorching Dragon flame claw.

And on the small mountain piled with the corpses of many demons.

Jiang Chen held a saber in his right hand and a freshly severed black goat's head in his left.

This... was precisely the head of a Spirit Martial Realm demon!

Jiang Chen's body was also stained with demon blood.

As if sensing the movement behind him, Jiang Chen turned to look at Sheng Lingyao.

As their eyes met, Sheng Lingyao's heart also pounded violently.

In this life, she only wanted to be under such a man.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's gaze froze, and he shouted.

"Be careful!"
