96: Tiangu Zhenren

In a corner of Echo Valley.

A disheveled old man sat inside a cave in the mountain wall.

Powerful Divine Soul Qi permeated his surroundings.

His body was as thin as firewood, so emaciated that only skin and bones remained.

In his normal state, his Qi was weak, as if he was on the verge of death, but once he activated his Mind-Cultivation Technique, the Divine Soul Qi around him would transform into a Hellish spring, devouring everything.

Celestial Bone Daoist!

A Fourth-grade Formation Master.

With this skill, Celestial Bone Daoist also became a Protector of the Wuzui Sect's Ten Evils Hall!

At this moment, Celestial Bone Daoist was clearly setting up a Formation in Echo Valley.

Behind Celestial Bone Daoist were two black-robed experts, responsible for protecting him.

After all, for Formation Masters, their defenses are relatively fragile, and if discovered by enemies, they can easily fall into a passive situation.

Of course, Celestial Bone Daoist himself was absolutely confident that Lu Qian and the others would be unable to escape this Formation.

Suddenly, a Jade Slip in Celestial Bone Daoist's hand lit up.

This was a message Jade Slip.

Ordinary message Jade Slips can transmit information to each other within a certain range.

When Celestial Bone Daoist read the content within, his expression instantly froze.

"Heiyun is dead!?"

"Failed to wipe out the Eastern Front defense!"

Celestial Bone Daoist's expression turned cold.

Daoist Heiyun was his proud disciple; he had put a lot of effort into cultivating a Formation Master, yet he never expected him to be killed.

Of course, to Celestial Bone Daoist, Daoist Heiyun's death was irrelevant; he had obtained an ancient Formation Plate many years ago.

This Formation Plate consisted of two parts, and the two of them had been working tirelessly to deduce it.

This was to unlock the secrets of the Formation Plate and achieve the effect of controlling it.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have given that ancient Formation Plate to him if I had known!"

Celestial Bone Daoist cursed inwardly.

The final message in the Jade Slip revealed that the one who killed Heiyun seemed to be a Demon Suppressing Envoy from Dongfeng Town named Jiang Chen!

"You two, there's no need to stand guard here anymore."

"Take these two Formation Stones with you; they can conceal your aura and avoid demonic attacks."

"Go to the Eastern Front immediately and find a Demon Suppressing Envoy named Jiang Chen!"

"Bring him back to me alive!"

Celestial Bone Daoist said to his two guards.

The two exchanged glances.

They took the Formation Stones from Celestial Bone Daoist's hand, looking at his face with some hesitation.

"Protector... the Hall Master said we should..."

"You're not needed here for now. Remember, you must capture him alive!"

Celestial Bone Daoist said unequivocally.

Seeing this, the two no longer argued and instead got up and left. Of course, they still reported the matter to the Hall Master.

After all, if something happened here, they would have a hard time explaining it.

In the mountain range.

Jiang Chen performed the Teng Snake Step, holding the Dragon Horn Bow, and shot down demons all the way.

The Hell Wolf, like a wild horse, plunged deep into the jungle, smashing all the demons in its path with its sharp horns.

The Hell Wolf seemed tireless.

Jiang Chen's instructions were simple: specifically target Acquired Realm demons to fight.

After all, killing Acquired Realm demons also yielded kill points, and the wear and tear on the Hell Wolf was very minimal.

It could sustain combat for a long time.

Each time the Hell Wolf was attacked, its own energy would also be consumed.

Of course, to completely destroy this martial arts puppet, at least Earth Martial Realm strength would be required.

[Kill Points: 375 points]

[Cultivation Points: 3560 points]

"It accumulated nearly four hundred points so quickly."

Jiang Chen's heart rejoiced.

With the assistance of the martial arts puppet, the efficiency was indeed much higher.

Of course, Jiang Chen also did not delay his mission, following the map's direction towards Echo Valley.

At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening.

The demonic Qi grew increasingly dense.

It seemed he had already entered the Southern Front's defensive line, and Jiang Chen also saw many corpses of Demon Slayer Army members along the way.

From time to time, he encountered piles of corpses.

The soldiers of the Demon Slayer Army, when faced with these demons in close combat, could only pile up their lives.

Ahead, a small squad was being besieged by more than a dozen Acquired Realm demons.

"Captain, don't mind us, break out yourself!"

"Yes, Captain, with your strength, you can definitely break through the encirclement, why sacrifice your life for a few cripples like us here!"

"You don't need to say more, I will not let my brothers die!"

The captain said in a deep voice, his eyes filled only with the determination to lead his brothers to carve a bloody path.

"Roar!"

An Innate Realm demon appeared in their line of sight.

Seeing this, everyone's faces immediately showed despair.

An Innate Realm demon!

Against this Innate Realm demon, no one would be able to escape now.

The Innate Realm demon let out a low growl and immediately charged towards them.

At the critical moment, Jiang Chen's arrow descended from the sky.

Puff!

One arrow blasted the Innate Realm demon's head.

However, after this arrow exploded, it transformed into fifteen sharp arrows, instantly piercing through the surrounding Acquired Realm demons.

The Demon Slayer Army squad, witnessing this scene,

instantly froze in place, dumbfounded.

"This... what level of archery is this!?"

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen's figure landed.

After glancing at the injured, he tossed a few Medicinal Pills to the captain.

"My... my lord?"

The squad leader looked at the Medicinal Pills in his hand, his body trembled, and he looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"Hold on a little longer, reinforcements will be here soon!"

Jiang Chen said.

Yu Long was leading the vanguard towards them. With Jiang Chen clearing the demonic obstacles along the way, Yu Long and the others' speed would undoubtedly increase.

Although Yu Long didn't have many people on his side.

But with the first wave of reinforcements, subsequent support would become more and more plentiful.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone in the squad also rekindled hope.

It wasn't until Jiang Chen's figure left that they reacted.

They seemed to not even know the name of this lord!

As Jiang Chen walked along, he also noticed that isolated demons were becoming fewer and fewer. They were basically forming small groups and fighting with the Demon Slayer Army.

So Jiang Chen took the initiative to attack, killing as many as he could and saving as many as he could.

To Jiang Chen, being able to kill demons and save these brave Demon Slayer Army members, why not?

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen felt the martial arts puppet tremble.

It turned out that the martial arts puppet had been besieged by powerful demons, and its energy was exhausted.

And the scene the martial arts puppet saw before its energy ran out was transmitted back to Jiang Chen's mind.

Among them, a figure, surrounded by numerous demonic figures, fighting valiantly in a bloodbath.

This instantly caused Jiang Chen's body to shake, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"Yun-jie!"
