423: Chapter 427 Cold

"Is this village a hiding place for supernatural creatures? Wouldn't it be easy for them to find us then? Is this intentional or just a coincidence?"

Lu Chen enveloped the entire village with his Spiritual Domain.

But there were no other supernatural creatures here.

So, it was likely just a coincidence.

That family also had a girl around the same age as Timi.

They saw Lu Chen and Timi.

And immediately greeted them.

"Big brother, let's go over. Let's see what they want to say to us."

"Okay."

The two approached, and Timi spoke first.

"Hello."

The older woman smiled and said,

"Hello, child. What's your name?"

Timi told her her name.

From the conversation...

Lu Chen learned that they were from the city.

They were here on vacation.

They were chatting.

But then, another person appeared.

A sword was tucked into his waist.

To be precise, it was a katana.

He was wearing a hakama.

The man's gaze was icy.

As soon as the family saw the man...

Their eyes immediately became sinister and terrifying.

They tried to seize Timi and take her hostage.

But Lu Chen did not let them succeed.

They were a step too slow.

Lu Chen pulled her into his arms beforehand.

"Earth Sword Style: Third Form, Blade Dragon Break."

Boom!

The man charged at the family like a cannonball.

And the older man in that family suddenly transformed into a gray werewolf.

He also launched an attack at the man!

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, the other three tried to help their father or husband.

Lu Chen found it interesting.

"What's this? An expert like those in Demon Slayer? So this world actually has other forms of power systems. It could be magic, or perhaps the Immortal Dao, maybe even deities from different mythologies. Holy crap! I can feel a bizarre and magnificent curtain about to rise."

Lu Chen and Timi fled the battlefield.

Not because they were afraid of them, but because they were afraid of Li Xue.

If Li Xue found out they had sneaked out and were in danger...

No one would be able to save poor Lu Chen and his little sister.

Lu Chen looked at Timi.

Fear still lingered on Timi's face.

"Big brother, how are you so amazing?"

Lu Chen placed a finger on her lips.

"This is our secret, okay? Don't tell Mom."

"Okay,"

she replied happily.

Lu Chen took one last look at the battlefield.

That suspected member of the Demon Slayer Corps was of a very high rank.

He had already slain the male werewolf and was now fighting the female werewolf.

While the two children were running away.

Then, he and Timi left together.

After they returned home...

Li Xue was looking at them with a fierce gaze.

"You went out without permission. Where did you go?"

Lu Chen answered.

"Sorry, Mom. We went to see the scenery; the scenery here is very beautiful."

Hearing this, Li Xue's expression softened slightly.

"Don't do it again, okay? Our enemies are very powerful and cunning."

The two apologized and then returned to their respective rooms.

But Lu Chen thought to himself that besides Martial Souls, there were other forms of power systems on this planet.

And these systems should be very well-developed.

On the other hand, in the fields, Shani asked.

"Father, what happened over there? Did you sense it?"

"I sensed a member of the Demon Slayer Corps slaying a Ghostly Entity. We won't interfere in their business; make sure the children don't go out."

After killing the werewolf parents...

Liang did not hunt down the werewolf children.

But he remembered something.

When he first arrived, there was also a young boy and a little girl there.

That werewolf had wanted to seize the little girl as a hostage.

But that young boy managed to save her.

If he could find that boy and recommend him to join the Demon Slayer Corps...

Perhaps one day he would become a powerful member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

This was Liang's duty.

So he walked in the direction he had seen the two of them flee.

Lu Chen had been observing the movements of the Demon Slayer Corps member.

Seeing the man walking in their direction...

The thought of the old man confronting that Demon Slayer Corps member...

...and the potential situations that could arise...

...seemed quite interesting.

Because this Demon Slayer Corps member's strength was comparable to his grandfather's.

Soon.

Liang walked into the Lu family's territory.

As soon as he entered...

...he saw two people working in the fields.

Shani looked at him and asked his father,

"Father, why is this person here? Did he discover something?"

Noah shook his head.

"I don't think so. Let's see what he wants."

Liang walked up to them and asked,

"Friends, my name is Liang, I'm just a passerby. Earlier by the river, I met a boy with great skills and a beautiful little girl; they helped me a lot. I wanted to thank them personally, but I couldn't find them after finishing my work. Have you seen a pair of children like that nearby?"

Hearing this, Noah's heart couldn't help but stir.

"Lu Chen and Timi were involved in that battle too? How did they escape? Why would he come here? He should be an Advanced member of the Demon Slayer Corps, with strength comparable to mine. He shouldn't be wasting his time on ordinary people like Lu Chen and Timi."
