155: Who is the demon? (asking for monthly votes)
"Are you alright?!"
"Young Brother!"
A straw raincoat dripped water, a bamboo hat tilted downwards, lips like painted cinnabar, eyes like lacquered dots, a face like piled jade, a naturally upright and grand demeanor, dressed in an indigo blue slanted-lapel robe, holding a precious sword in one hand, and extending the other.
The extended hand was pointing towards Chen Yuan!
Chen Yuan didn't know how to describe the situation at the moment; he just felt like this desolate mountain temple was like a fixed dungeon instance, with more and more participants joining.
He was silent for a while, then thought about it and still extended his hand, taking it.
With such a stunning character making an entrance, if he didn't cooperate, wouldn't he lose some face?
He stood up smoothly, cupped his fists, "Thank you, Brother!"
"You're welcome!" The person thought Chen Yuan was scared, which was why he hesitated for so long, so he didn't mind.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the scholar's robe came forward with his daughter and thanked the person: "Thank you for your rescue, righteous warrior. May I ask your esteemed name?"
The person's voice was clear and full of vigor: "I do not change my name when I walk, nor my surname when I sit. I am Yan Shisan from Kunyou Mountain."
The middle-aged man seemed somewhat familiar upon hearing this, "The Thirteen Swords of West Shu, Great Hero Yan?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
This was considered an admission.
The middle-aged man's expression immediately became solemn, and he bowed again, "I am Zhao Zhiyan, a native of Anning. I often hear about Great Hero Yan's deeds."
Saying this, he looked to the side, "This is my Young Miss Yunluo, Luor, why don't you quickly bow to Great Hero Yan? Great Hero Yan helps the distressed and rescues the imperiled, slaying demons and eradicating evil; I imagine you've heard of him too."
"Indeed!" Zhao Yunluo nodded, gracefully performed a bow, and said gently, "This Young Miss greets Great Hero Yan."
"You two exaggerate; it's just a false reputation from the Jianghu. But why are you two sleeping out in this desolate mountain temple? Where are you headed?" Yan Shisan's gaze lingered on Zhao Yunluo's face for a moment, then he subtly shifted his gaze and asked.
"We heard something happened, and my daughter and I are returning to Jinguancheng to visit relatives," the middle-aged man Zhao Zhiyan said, but he was interrupted by a voice,
"Uncle Zhao is truly an honest person. When others ask, he spills everything. I'm afraid he'll even spill all the Yun Family's affairs in the future." The black-clad man, accompanied by two injured martial artists, his subordinates, walked in with a gloomy face.
Saying this, his gaze fell on Yan Shisan and the huge demon corpse behind him,
"Great Hero Yan possesses great Divine Ability. Yun thanks you for saving my cousin's family." Saying this, he gave a perfunctory cupped-fist salute.
However, there was a hint of resentment in his words. Losing face was one thing, and secondly, he always felt that this Great Hero, his words, expressions, and that face, were overly righteous, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
However, he was a Body Profound Realm expert after all, and even if he were dumber, he wouldn't mindlessly provoke the other party. The proper etiquette still had to be observed.
Yan Shisan's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled: "No matter. Coincidentally, I'm also going to Jinguancheng. From what I just heard, it seems you all have heard the urgent news from the front lines. I, Yan, travel the Jianghu, and at this time of crisis, I am prepared to join the Fa Shan Army and head to the front lines to slay demons and eradicate evil!"
Towards the end, Yan Shisan's face became awe-inspiringly righteous.
This appearance, coupled with his righteous aura, actually made the maid behind the Young Miss look at him with a spring in her eyes.
"Oh? I didn't expect Great Hero Yan to want to join the Fa Shan Army. My admiration, my admiration. One of my older brothers serves as a Commanding Officer in the Ninth Mountain of the Fa Shan Army. However, I hear the war is brutal, and the Ninth Mountain is almost wiped out. I heard their Zhonglang General has already died in battle. Now they must be in dire need of aspiring individuals like Great Hero Yan. Shall I introduce Great Hero Yan?"
"Also, it's a good opportunity to thank Great Hero Yan for his assistance this time!"
Yun Zhuosheng said this, remembering something. However, from his tone, it was unclear whether his words were sincere or feigned.
At this moment, Chen Yuan, who had been listening to the two sides' words and acting as a mere bystander, heard this and his eyes flickered.
Jinguancheng, Yun Family, Ninth Mountain, a Commanding Officer with the surname Yun?
He remembered that he had a Commanding Officer under him named Cloud Skyborn!
Could it be such a coincidence?
However, he now found these two people truly interesting, each harboring their own schemes, just spouting nonsense.
The Perfection Qi Realm Leopard Demon just now used its Divine Ability True Intent; didn't they find this matter strange? And they're still chatting here?
Based on his experience in capturing and killing demons, it indicated that there was still a "person" above this Leopard Demon.
Thinking this, he slightly tilted his head, and a shimmering golden light flickered in his eyes as he looked towards the direction from which the Leopard Demon had emerged.
At this moment, Yan Shisan rejected Yun Zhuosheng's suggestion, understood this tip of the iceberg, sighed, and then his eyes became even more brilliant, "The situation is so perilous; we martial arts practitioners should naturally do our utmost."
"Great Hero Yan, what great spirit! Then I wish you success in your endeavors." Yun Zhuosheng smiled ambiguously.
Just then,
A faint voice drifted over, interrupting the two.
"Haven't you heard the sound?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze fell on Chen Yuan, who was facing away and looking to the left, with some surprise.
When this person didn't speak, everyone had overlooked his existence.
However, as the words stopped, the ruined temple became silent, and only the sound of wind and rain remained between heaven and earth.
And from the left direction, a faint roar could be heard, and a powerful Qi surged towards the ruined temple.
Not one, but two!.
The first to react was Yan Shisan, his expression stern,
"Hurry, there are two Body Profound demons approaching from the left. I'll hold them off."
Saying this, the precious sword in his hand was unsheathed, and immediately, Sword Qi surged, and sword shadows split into light, shooting towards the left direction with a series of "shuo shuo shuo" sounds.
And with a stomp of his foot, he stepped on the sword light, rushing directly into the pitch-black rain curtain.
Inside the ruined temple, upon hearing this, Yun Zhuosheng, who had just been smiling ambiguously, froze in place.
Two Body Profound demons?
Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted at the Zhao Family father and daughter, "Hurry and leave!"
The Zhao Family father and daughter's faces finally turned pale; what Body Profound demons represented was naturally self-evident.
The group panicked, quickly boarded the carriage, and whipped the horses.
"Wait, that Young Master hasn't gotten on the carriage yet!"
Zhao Yunluo, despite her panic, did not lose her composure. She saw Chen Yuan, who hadn't moved in the temple, and called out.
"What time is it now? Why bother with an outsider?"
Yun Zhuosheng said impatiently, raising both hands and casting a Dharma Seal onto the several horses. A faint stream of light appeared on the carriages, and a wind vortex formed around them. Then, he cracked the whip, the horses neighed loudly, and quickly galloped towards the right.
At this moment, inside the ruined temple, where wind and rain poured in furiously, only Chen Yuan remained.
He didn't care at all about the group that hadn't taken him along. With golden light flickering in his eyes, he was still looking at the mountain forest under the rain curtain to the left.
Through his Dharma Eye's flowing light, he saw two demons, seven or eight li away, with human bodies and leopard faces, about four zhang tall, rushing madly towards them.
"Who killed my son!"
A sharp roar, filled with extreme anger and shock, reverberated through the mountain forest and rain curtain.
It turned out that the leopard killed by Yan Shisan just now was the cub of two Body Profound Leopard Demons!
And the Great Hero Yan Shisan, who had originally stepped on sword light, incredibly handsome, and charged into the rain curtain, turned around and changed direction shortly after entering the rain curtain, heading towards the Zhao Family's group.
Thus, the two Body Profound Leopard Demons, following the trail, arrived at the ruined temple.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two massive, oppressive figures landed in front of the ruined temple, shaking the ground.
Four faint green lights pierced through the rain curtain, peering down from the shattered temple roof, and saw the leopard's corpse, split in two, inside the temple. Immediately, the green lights became incredibly ferocious.
Then they suddenly moved upwards, seeing a figure standing in front of the Dao platform, and let out a piercing shriek that could shatter gold and stone!
"Did you kill my son?"
"I will tear you into ten thousand pieces."
Saying this, two giant beast claws smashed through the ruined temple, striking directly at the spot where Chen Yuan stood.
Dust suddenly billowed up.
But the next second, golden light burst forth.
A golden giant, in the disbelieving to terrified eyes of the two Leopard Demons, grew explosively from the ruins against the wind.
The ferocious giant, about ten zhang tall, looked down at the two demons, who were like little dwarves, and then slammed his hands together.
"Boom!"
The two Leopard Demons let out a terrified shriek, then exploded into a bloody mist.
Before dying, a thought echoed in the minds of the two demons—
Who exactly is the demon?
