Chapter 192: Su Chen's Response to the Changes
Chapter 192: Su Chen's Response to the Changes
Su Chen suspected that perhaps he bore some resemblance to a deceased acquaintance of theirs.
However, he had no interest in being a stand-in.
Coming to this realm, he merely sought some opportunities.
He wanted to see if he could find the Saint's secret mechanism here.
Even if he couldn't, cultivating in this realm would still be beneficial.
Su Chen's mind was as clear as a mirror; he had thought this through thoroughly.
Apart from these, he could also observe the martial arts methods of the Northern Abyss Kingdom and Windriding Pavilion.
After more than two hours, the group reached the villa's location.
Looking into the distance, they could see Windward City.
Yet, despite the distance, the villa was still occupied by demons.
Moreover, they had even requested martial artists from Great Arsenal City to come and clear it out.
"It has been confirmed that Crystal Demons are entrenched in the villa.
After entering, everyone must remain vigilant.
Protecting your safety is the top priority. Don't get injured while trying to hurt the demons.
Not only will I not reward you, but I'll also deduct a portion of your contributions."
Although Chi Xiaoyun's words sounded unpleasant, everyone could sense the kindness behind them.
After confirming the plan, the group entered the villa.
With the help of his Demon Hunter Heavenly Destiny, Su Chen had already identified the demons in the villa.
He knew where the demons were hiding and where the greater demons were located.
Upon entering the villa, the others were more vigilant.
However, Su Chen agreed with staying alert and not being arrogant when facing demons.
There were over twenty people in the group, divided into three teams that proceeded inward.
Su Chen was assigned to Chi Xiaoyun's team and entered the villa from the left wing.
The villa had once been inhabited by a carpenter clan, and there were many tools and wooden furniture around.
The haphazardly stacked furniture made the place look even more chaotic.
Su Chen looked around at the group, including Chi Xiaoyun, and saw that they were all gazing forward.
The next moment, a sinister gust of wind blew by.
A small demon suddenly leaped out from behind the fallen furniture.
It was a Clawed Cat Demon with sharp claws that seemed to be stained with blood.
The demons entrenched in the villa had some intelligence.
Facing the martial artists who had come to expel them, they tried to ambush and injure them.
A small demon like this couldn't possibly harm these people to the point of death.
These demons didn't want to create mortal enemies, hoping to make the martial artists retreat out of difficulty.
The person the demon's claws were aimed at was currently walking two positions to Su Chen's left.
With the help of his Demon Hunter Heavenly Destiny, Su Chen had already known about the demon hiding below.
But this time, Su Chen didn't speak up in advance.
His experiences in Yunyang Sect had taught Su Chen a lesson.
Resolving these crises in advance could indeed prevent many dangers.
However, these people wouldn't remember his favor.
Some, like those from Yunyang Sect, might even say that he was just showing off to steal credit.
Su Chen now let these demons make their move.
He wanted them to smell the demonic aura and sense the danger, making their hearts tremble in fear.
In this instant, when he saved them, no one would dare to forget his favor.
In his heart, Su Chen was somewhat averse to this behavior.
But past experiences forced Su Chen to resort to such methods.
Only when the small demon's claws were about to strike did the people around notice it.
They had always thought the demons were inside the villa, never expecting one to be hiding outside.
Chi Xiaoyun, as Windriding Pavilion's top disciple, hadn't noticed this demon either.
The sharp claws were upon them, and it seemed there was no escape.
With a ninth-stage strength, a strike from this little demon's claws would likely cause severe injuries.
The pungent smell of blood from the claws lingered around them, as if warning of the imminent danger.
In an instant, Su Chen drew his blade and thrust it forward.
With a single stroke, he pierced the little demon, and its body hung in the air, impaled on the sword.
The demon's sharp claws remained outstretched for a while before finally drooping.
Su Chen placed the demon's body on the ground and then withdrew his sword.
As he finished the entire sequence of actions, the few people in front of him finally snapped back to their senses.
The martial artist who had almost been injured was covered in cold sweat.
While it wasn't a narrow escape from death, it was undoubtedly a severe injury averted.
There was no doubt that a strike from those claws would have caused serious damage to his muscles and bones.
"Thank you, brother."
The rescued guard, having regained his composure, stammered his gratitude.
Su Chen responded with a smile and nodded.
Chi Xiaoyun watched this scene, her eyes shining even brighter.
The group continued their journey deeper into the area.
The demons hiding in the mountain villa were no strangers to the martial artists who came to exterminate them.
Even after learning their lesson, when they saw something lying on the ground, they would still turn it over to check.
But the group was repeatedly ambushed by the demons.
Some were hiding in the rafters, some were lurking in corners, and others were sneaking up from behind.
In the face of these demons, Chi Xiaoyun, as the team leader, was clearly unqualified.
The only consolation was that Su Chen was always there to save them at the critical moment when they were ambushed by the demons.
In this world, the demons' strength was not their most formidable asset; it was their skill in ambushing.
By the time Su Chen had slain the greater demon inside, he had already saved them four times.
Each time, Su Chen allowed them to sense the danger before taking action.
The chilling aura that enveloped them made them even more grateful when he saved them at that moment.
After slaying the demons on the left wing of the mountain villa, Chi Xiaoyun led the group to support the others.
At this moment, everyone in the group was extremely polite to Su Chen.
Chi Xiaoyun also credited Su Chen with many achievements in her record.
No one had any complaints.
In a little over an hour, the demons were almost completely eliminated.
Except for Chi Xiaoyun's team, the other two squads had injured members.
Su Chen had killed many demons, and the martial artists from the other squads had also helped save many of their companions.
They dragged the demons' bodies to the entrance of the mountain villa and then went to the nearby town to find their employer to verify their achievements.
There were two greater demons lurking in the mountain villa.
After the greater demons were slain, the smaller demons, even if they tried to escape, dared not hide in the villa anymore.
The task was completed, and the group returned to the Windriding Pavilion.
On this mission, Su Chen performed exceptionally well.
Not only did he save people multiple times, but he also assisted two disciples of the Windriding Pavilion.
In Chi Xiaoyun's record of achievements, Su Chen was listed in the first place, and everyone seemed to think it was only natural.
On the way back, Chi Xiaoyun walked to Su Chen's side, and the two chatted casually.
Although Su Chen had demonstrated the strength of an eighth-stage novice, what left the deepest impression on Chi Xiaoyun was still his silhouette when he wielded his blade, reminiscent of someone she knew.
Today's performance, however, changed her perception of Su Chen.
Su Chen was extremely vigilant, and his ability to intercept the demons' ambushes was remarkable.
After returning to the Windriding Pavilion, Chi Xiaoyun submitted the record of achievements.
That night, Yang Yueyao reviewed the record.
However, in front of Chi Xiaoyun, she directly crossed out Su Chen, who was ranked first.
