20: Lend You a Sword (Please Read and Please Submit a Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 20: Lending You a Sword

Chen Yuan opened his eyes!

The chilling Sword Qi in his pupils was contained within three feet.

With another blink, it silently receded.

At this moment, the wind had stopped and the rain had ceased.

When he had a Breakthrough just now, that Sword Qi had directly shattered the dark clouds.

The surroundings were a mess.

As Chen Yuan stood up, a voice came.

"Congratulations, Senior!"

Then, he saw Wu Tian, the one-armed Martial Arts Hall Master, shooting towards him like a splash of water.

After landing on the boat deck, he bowed.

Suddenly, he knelt on one knee, his expression turning somewhat earnest, and said in a heavy voice:

"Please, Senior, do not blame me for my presumptuous actions."

"Yunlu County is currently facing a great disaster, with countless casualties among the city's common people. I see that Senior possesses a righteous aura, and you have an old acquaintance fighting demons in the city. Now that Senior has made a Breakthrough to Body Profound, I hope Senior can lend a hand."

His voice was a little nervous, a little shaky.

And eager.

He knew he was being somewhat ungrateful.

But having fought all the way here, Wu Tian had seen his Disciples and relatives slaughtered one by one by the demons.

His heart was truly unwilling, and filled with hatred.

After speaking, he lowered his head, his heart pounding, and a suffocating sensation rose in his chest.

Chen Yuan listened, then fell silent for a moment, but shook his head.

"I cannot go."

Wu Tian suddenly looked up, his face unable to hide his disappointment and dejection.

"Currently, Langdang Mountain, spanning eight hundred li, is plagued by displaced people and frequent Essence Spirits. There are also people who need me; this is my duty."

"Duty? May I ask, Senior, who are you?" Wu Tian's expression turned surprised and doubtful upon hearing this.

"The Patrolling Mountain Commandant of this place, Chen Yuan!"

Chen Yuan answered him.

Wu Tian's expression changed.

He hadn't expected that the rumored Patrolling Mountain Commandant was still holding out here.

"This humble civilian, Wu Tian, greets you, Sir."

"It is truly not easy for Sir to hold out here and protect the common people."

"But..."

A desolate look appeared on his face, and he finally sighed.

Chen Yuan understood the Hunter's meaning. A light flickered in his eyes, and his voice was somewhat ethereal.

"If I ask you, having fought your way out of Yunlu County, would you be willing to go back again?"

Wu Tian clenched his fist tightly, but then released it, touched his severed arm, and shook his head despondently.

"I still harbor anger in my heart, but my abilities are meager. I could only watch my Disciples die one by one. I..." He turned his head away as he spoke.

"I'm just asking you, do you want revenge?"

"Yes!" The tiger-eyed Hunter almost gnashed his teeth.

"Good!" Chen Yuan nodded, "Then I shall lend you a sword!"

"Bring me your weapon!"

Wu Tian suddenly looked up, a bright light shining in his eyes.

He held the saber in his hand horizontally and offered it.

Then, he felt a little apprehensive.

"Will a saber do?"

Chen Yuan took it and said it was fine.

Then, he narrowed his eyes, activating the transparent small sword within his Dantian.

The small sword hummed, and Sword Qi flowed from his Meridians into his hand, injecting into the ring-headed broadsword he held.

After a while.

He handed the saber to Wu Tian.

"This saber carries my Divine Ability and true Dao..."

"You may go!"

Wu Tian respectfully took the saber with one hand, feeling as if it weighed ten thousand jin.

But in his eyes, a flame seemed to be ignited, burning brighter and fiercer.

"I will not disgrace you, Sir!"

...

Dozens of li away, Yunlu County.

The heavy rain poured down.

The entire county town, beneath the curtain of rain, bore traces of smoke and fire everywhere.

Houses had collapsed all around.

The streets were a mess.

Corpses.

Scattered luggage.

And bloodstains splattered on the walls, which even the heavy rain could not wash away.

The entire county town was like a dead city.

Only in certain hidden corners did the gasping breaths of those barely clinging to life remain.

In a courtyard located in a corner of the county town.

Dozens of people were crowded into a hall.

There were men and women, children and elderly.

They were all common people of the county who hadn't managed to escape.

At this moment, their faces were all weary and fearful.

In the despairing and oppressive atmosphere, there were only low sobs.

Mixed with the sound of the wind and rain outside, it was suffocating.

Everyone here had not slept, their eyes wide open in the darkness, their ears listening to the movements outside the window.

Fearing to miss even the slightest unusual sound in the wind and rain!

Because outside, there were man-eating demons!

When they were truly terrified, these people would look towards the corner by the window, leaning against the wall, at a figure holding a sword, and their hearts would slightly settle.

In the dense darkness, that corner still emanated a vivid fiery red glow.

That was an extremely beautiful woman!

It was she who had rescued them from the ferocious and cruel demons.

And brought them here.

She was the only straw of hope for everyone present!

And now, they could only pray to survive this long night, without being discovered by the demons.

Just then,

In the corner by the window, Lian Nishang suddenly opened her eyes.

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes.

Something was coming!

Above their heads.

Her hand moved.

"Clang!"

A cold light instantly illuminated the entire room.

"Swish!"

A Sword Qi pierced directly through the roof,

Exploding with a roar.

Immediately followed by a violent roar.

The people in the entire room were startled awake.

At this moment, a thunderclap exploded, and a flash of lightning illuminated the room.

Everyone looked up,

Only to see a demon with an unusually large head painfully covering one of its eyes, while its other ghastly green eye stared venomously at them through the hole in the roof.

"Ah!"

"It's a monster!"

"They found us."

The crowd let out shrill screams, instantly falling into chaos.

Many people rushed out of the room in a panic.

Lian Nishang, however, had a frosty face. She leaped up, shooting out of the roof, her three-foot Qingfeng sword in hand, carrying a sharp Sword Intent,

Striking directly at that demon!

The demon was instantly slain by the incredibly sharp Sword Qi.

However, before it died, the demon let out a piercing shriek.

And with this shriek, the originally silent county town began to emit roars.

And surged closer towards the corner where Lian Nishang was.

Under the flickering lightning, terrifying demonic figures, carrying surging malice, attacked.

Soon, the surrounding rooftops and ground were surrounded by various demonic monsters.

They all maintained human forms,

But each had a terrifying appearance.

Some were covered in tiny eyes,

Others had bodies covered in chilling scales,

Human-demons!

Lian Nishang thought of this term, and an uncontrollable killing intent surged in her ample chest.

This desolate and remote place had become lawless.

Her fiery red clothes stood proudly in the night, her three-foot Qingfeng sword in hand, shimmering with a biting cold light.

Emitting a ringing sword hum.

Just then,

A terrifying aura rapidly approached from beneath the night sky.

A black-robed figure wearing a ghost mask landed with a crash.

"So you were hiding here."

"Haha, you killed so many of my demon spawns..."

"This time, I'll make you, woman, taste the flavor of a demon spawn too!"

The person gave a sinister laugh.

Then, his body mutated, rapidly expanding.

In a blink of an eye, he transformed into a demon two zhang tall, with two horns on its head and reddish skin.

Then, the massive demonic body, like a cannonball, shot towards Lian Nishang.

Demonic might surged.

A vast shadow, filled with evil aura!
