73: Lucky combo! The Flame Demon Bow was bought???

The moment he chose to use it, the melting stone dissipated into specks of golden light...

At the same time, a notification sounded.

“Ding! The effect of the Lucky Strike entry has been doubled!”

He eagerly clicked to check the effect.

“Lucky Strike: Golden Quality (Melted)”

“Effect Description: 100% combo 2 times, 100% combo 4 times, 50% combo 6 times, 25% combo 8 times, 12.5% combo 10 times. Combos have no cost and no damage reduction.”

“Yes!”

Chen Beixuan secretly clenched his fist, a smile appearing on his face.

As expected, going all-in is a form of wisdom...

His current magic attack was 2810 points.

A 100% combo + 4 meant five Lightning Spells at once.

One Lightning Spell dealt over 240,000 damage.

This didn't even account for the Powerful Strike, Cold Blooded, and other bonus effects.

The damage increase was extremely high.

There were no wild monsters for him to use as targets right now, so he could only put aside the idea of testing it for now.

At this moment, Pedro had already taken out the incomplete Demon Realm map to determine their direction.

This map was brought out by a senior exploration team that had successfully escaped from the Demon Realm.

Combined with regular interrogations of demons for verification, the accuracy was basically not an issue.

“Master Chen, our current location should be in the Demon Northern Plains. It will probably take half a day to reach Dusk City.”

Pedro rolled up the map and put it into his pocket along with the forbidden spell scroll.

Chen Beixuan nodded upon hearing this.

“Disguise yourselves and hurry.”

After speaking, he used the Black Mist Enshroudment skill!

A strange black mist rapidly condensed, enveloping his entire body.

Combined with Chaos Dark Spear and Demon Flame Raging Sky skills, his disguise as a demon truly seemed convincing.

Pedro’s disguise skill was more complex, involving both facial alteration and costume changes.

It took him over ten minutes to complete.

And it had to be said, if you didn’t look closely, you really couldn’t tell the difference.

It was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

However, Chen Beixuan always felt like something was missing...

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

He pulled a demon badge from his bag and put it on Pedro, then nodded with satisfaction.

“This way, it’s foolproof...”

Pedro looked down at the badge on his chest, then looked at Chen Beixuan.

“You gave it to me, don’t you need one?”

Chen Beixuan pulled out a Demon General badge and smiled.

“This one will do for me. Let’s go.”

Pedro looked at the badge that flashed in his hand, feeling that something was not quite right.

However, he trusted Master Chen would not trick him, so he didn't think too much about it.

The two followed the map route, heading towards Dusk City...

......

Dusk City.

In a deep underground cave.

A ferocious Demon King statue stood within.

Gregg stood before the statue, bowing slightly.

The Demon King statue’s eyes suddenly glowed red, and a majestic, deep voice resonated!

“Why did you mobilize elite troops without authorization?”

Gregg’s gaze darkened slightly as he bowed and said,

“Reporting to Lord Demon King, a talented prodigy appeared in Sunset City of the human race, so elite troops were mobilized to cover an assassination.”

“But you failed, and failures must be punished.”

Upon hearing this.

Gregg did not hesitate in the slightest.

He directly extended his pinky finger and struck it against the wide blade of a sword stuck nearby.

Pfft!

A severed finger fell to the ground.

Yet, he seemed to feel no pain.

He didn't even frown.

Crimson blood dripped, seeping into the statue’s base along the cracks in the ground slabs.

The Demon King’s eyes glowed even brighter red, highly satisfied.

“No attack on the human world for three days, until the army is fully assembled. Await my unified command.”

“Yes.”

After he finished speaking, the statue’s eyes dimmed...

Gregg straightened up, grabbed the sword hilt, and walked out, stopping when he passed an oil lamp.

Looking at the red-hot lamp base, he directly pressed his wound against it.

Sizzle—

He frowned slightly, then pulled it back after a few seconds.

Seeing that the wound had stopped bleeding, he carried the greatsword and left without looking back.

As soon as he reached the surface, a scout came to report.

“Lord Gregg, Hobart and his subordinates, who are guarding the Demon Northern Plains, have lost contact with us!”

“When did this happen?”

“An hour ago, we discovered it during our routine contact.”

“Inform the surrounding cities to strictly vet those entering the city and strengthen their defenses.”

“Send out scouts to search for traces of human invaders along the way. Report any findings immediately.”

“Yes!”

The scout acknowledged the order and departed.

Hobart losing contact could basically be confirmed as the work of humans.

However, according to the agreement between the two realms, no one above level 50 was allowed to cross the border.

Someone below level 50, yet capable of killing Hobart.

Clearly, it wasn’t that simple...

Human infiltration was nothing more than gathering intelligence or lurking to cause destruction.

As long as the main cities were guarded and the identities of those entering were strictly checked, there would be no problems.

......

The sky in the Demon Realm was always a dusky yellow.

Like an unceasing sandstorm, with sand filling the sky.

The two ran across the endless wasteland, surrounded by desolation.

Suddenly, a notification sounded, startling Chen Beixuan.

“Ding! Your listed equipment, [flame demon bow], has been sold! You have received 9500 gold coins, after deducting the handling fee!”

“Pfft! Cough, cough, cough...”

He almost choked to death on his own saliva.

Looking at the notification, he was completely shocked!

No way, someone actually bought it!

“Let me see which unfortunate soul it is...”

“Hmm? Dragon Clan 丿Qingcheng?”

Chen Beixuan was slightly stunned, suddenly remembering something he had seen while browsing the forum earlier.

At the time, he thought it was a prank, but he didn't expect it to actually be bought!

He already knew that Dragon Clan was Xingji Corporation.

Because of Lu Ziming, his attitude towards Dragon Clan had always been one of cold indifference.

He never replied to messages, just pretending not to see them.

Even if the Dragon Clan 丿Qingcheng entry in his message list showed 98+, he wouldn't even glance at it.

As the saying goes,

The less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; do nothing, make no mistakes.

The father and son would reconcile sooner or later, and he didn't want to get too involved.

Just casually mentoring Lu Ziming was enough for him to win the bet.

But now, someone had spent 100 million to buy the equipment.

It actually made him feel a bit embarrassed.

He clicked on the message sent by Qingcheng.

Without even looking at what the other party sent, he directly replied:

“[Old Man Chen: Thanks for the support, my friend! Wishing you a bright future, prosperity, and endless joy...]”

After quickly sending a string of blessings, he closed the panel with satisfaction.

“Hmm... I feel much better now...”

Carrying the huge sum of money, he unconsciously widened the distance between himself and Pedro.

Leaving the latter looking utterly bewildered.

“Master Chen, if you have a problem with me, just say it. Please don’t give me the silent treatment.”

Chen Beixuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said irritably,

“Who’s giving you the silent treatment? I just think it’s safer to keep some distance.”

Pedro rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Speaking of which... just now.

Why did he suddenly feel an itch in his hand...

How strange...

The two rushed frantically according to the map’s instructions.

After an unknown amount of time...

Finally, a majestic city gate appeared in their sight...

Dusk City!

But very quickly, the two realized something was wrong.

The security checks were too strict!
