Chapter 353: The Supreme Demon

Chapter 353: The Supreme Demon

"That's quite the carefree attitude."

Behind Chen Jing, his teammates approached.

If Lu Ran were here, he might have recognized the speaker.

After all, this Imprisoning Demon disciple had once helped Lu Ran open windows and pick locks to return to his home.

"It's carefree, but it's also infuriating, haha!" Chen Jing exclaimed, gazing at the end of the long street.

Lu Ran had stopped again, engaging in a fierce battle with a Demon.

"Oh, Old Liu," Chen Jing continued.

Old Liu had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking quite upright. Although he was an Imprisoning Demon disciple, standing beside his fallen comrade, he didn't appear overly cold-hearted.

He, too, was closely observing Lu Ran's battlefield: "What's up?"

Chen Jing: "Your son will be 17 next year, right?"

Old Liu sighed, his voice carrying the worries of an old father: "Yes, my son's talent is truly lacking. I don't know if he'll be able to successfully worship the deity."

Chen Jing chuckled: "What are you pretending for? I'm a hero, and my son can't be much worse!"

"But, do you want my nephew to try worshipping the Divine Ram?"

Old Liu also smiled: "There are many believers of the Divine Ram, but there's only one Lu Tianjiao!"

As they spoke, at the end of the long street, Lu Ran swiftly dispatched three Demons and then rushed off.

The air was filled with mist and swirling snowflakes.

It was indeed an impressive sight, but it also obstructed one's vision.

"Something's wrong! There's a situation!"

Above Chen Jing and Old Liu, a black crow spoke in a serious tone.

"Hmm?"

"Where?" Chen Jing and Old Liu asked simultaneously, standing at the entrance of the neighborhood, searching for Demons.

The black crow flew in the air, speaking quickly: "At Lu Tianjiao's previous battlefield location!"

Chen Jing and another Green Phoenix believer teammate immediately looked towards the end of the long street.

There, amidst the swirling snow, they couldn't clearly see the enemy.

Chen Jing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely observed what seemed to be a blood-colored figure.

"Damn!"

In the night sky, the black crow's pupils constricted, and it cursed.

"Report the situation!" Old Liu's face turned solemn.

Among the four teammates, except for the recently joined Green Phoenix believer, the others were experienced veterans who had hovered on the brink of life and death countless times in past battles.

But now, their scout was in such a state? What had he seen?

"Bloodskull!"

The black crow's voice trembled slightly.

"What?" Chen Jing's body tensed involuntarily, and he blurted out.

Demon Bloodskull?

In this small Rain Alley, what merit or capability had they to attract the presence of a Bloodskull?

This terrifying Demon rarely appeared in densely populated areas like the Capital City or Chang'an.

People often said that certain Demons were rare, and some were even rarer.

For instance, Puppeteer Shadow, Crimson Paper Person, and Imprisoning Heaven Demon were only seen once every three to five months.

As for races like Shadow Opera, Demon Gun Emperor, and Jade-faced Snake, they might be encountered once a year or even longer.

If you weren't a patrol member but a Moon Watcher on duty, you might only encounter a Shadow Opera once every three to five years.

However, when it came to rarity,

One Demon stood out as the undisputed first.

The Bloodskull Clan!

Their appearance frequency was incredibly low.

"Bloodskull! A Bloodskull Demon has been spotted at the entrance of the Rain Alley Home neighborhood!"

The young Green Phoenix believer immediately reported to his superiors.

Old Liu also spoke up without hesitation: "Attract its attention and don't let it escape!"

Chen Jing's face turned grim.

The Red Sash disciple, who had never feared battle and was even belligerent, took the first step forward.

But his trembling arm betrayed the intense mental struggle within Chen Jing.

Bloodskull,

This was a Bloodskull!

Was his life about to end here?

The kid had just praised him, saying he had done well this time.

This time, he wasn't hanging by a thread, nor was he covered in wounds.

"Haha!" Chen Jing roared, unleashing his divine art with full force.

With the Red Sash command, his battle intent soared!

He was a Red Sash disciple and a Moon Watcher of Great Xia.

In this battle,

Even if he knew death awaited, he had to fight!

He must keep the Bloodskull here, and under no circumstances could he let it leave. He had to wait for the support of the patrol team; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He could only hope that this Bloodskull's strength was on the lower end. Ideally, it would be at the lowest Mist Realm.

The problem was,

How could the strength of such a Demon be low?

Among the limited appearances of the Bloodskull Clan,

Each time, they left a trail of death and chaos.

This was the existence known as the "Supreme Demon."

"Waaah~"

The black crow wailed, launching a soundwave attack towards the distance.

Chen Jing's charging steps abruptly halted.

Because the Bloodskull had disappeared.

Almost simultaneously, from the night sky above, the black crow's mournful cry echoed: "Waaah~"

Old Liu's face paled in shock!

Teleportation Technique?

This meant that this Bloodskull Demon's realm was at least above the Third Stage of the River Realm!

When a Demon possessed teleportation techniques, it posed an extreme threat to the lives of the Great Xia people.

The Evil Dog Clan also had teleportation abilities.

But with their low intelligence, humans could still manage to fight them.

The Bloodskull Clan,

Not only were they not of low intelligence, but they were also among the top-tier Demons.

They were on par with the Demon Gun Emperor and Jade-faced Snake!

This was why the Moon Watchers couldn't afford to lose sight of their target.

Once a Bloodskull disappeared, finding it again would be difficult.

Moreover, when they did find it again, the Bloodskull would undoubtedly have accumulated blood debts, with countless souls perishing under its blade!

"Flap, flap, flap~"

Black crow feathers mixed with the falling snowflakes, creating a peculiar sight.

Facing the slender blood blade thrust towards him, the Raven believer unleashed an astonishing will to survive.

The black crow desperately twisted its body, allowing the Blood Blade to pierce its wing instead of its heart.

The Raven Believer narrowly escaped death, enduring excruciating pain as he quickly activated his Substitute Technique.

"Flap, flap, flap~"

The black crow left behind its injured substitute, while its real body frantically fled.

"Pfft!"

The Blood Blade instantly shattered the substitute, and the hot blood droplets from the blade's tip splattered onto the escaping black crow's body.

"Waaah~~~"

A pitiful cry echoed through the night sky.

"Haaah!!!"

The battle cry sounded again, and Chen Jing spurred his horse to charge.

In the night sky, the Demon glanced at Chen Jing, a Blood Blade in his hand, and casually flung it towards the wobbling black crow.

"Flap, flap, flap~"

The black crow heard the sound of the blade cutting through the air behind it, an intense sense of crisis causing even this Raven Believer to falter in his movements.

His heart seemed to leap into his throat!

"Crack! Crack!"

Several chains appeared out of thin air.

Although the chains were shattered by the Blood Blade, they at least provided a path to safety for the black crow.

"Gulp."

Liu Ming swallowed hard, finally getting a clear look at the Bloodskull's true appearance.

The Bloodskull was not just a blood-colored skull.

It took the form of a young man, tall and robust.

His face was fierce, filled with a ruthless aura, and he had red hair and red eyes, even his skin was blood-red.

Around his neck, he wore a small blood-colored skull necklace, a chilling sight.

He was shirtless, wearing tattered blood-red shorts, and as he landed, he held two slim blood blades in his hands.

The Demon - Bloodskull!

This name originated from the blood-colored skull necklace around his neck.

This name constantly reminded the human race of the terrifying nature of this necklace.

It was the Bloodskull Clan's signature weapon!

"Tick, tick..."

From the tip of the slim blood blade, droplets of blood dripped downwards.

The faint sound was like a countdown to the lives of the people.

As the cold wind blew, the pungent smell of blood made people feel nauseous and their hair stand on end.

The Bloodskull remained silent, an eerie silence.

His blood-colored eyes were incredibly sinister, scanning the group before settling on Chen Jing, who was charging forward.

"Swoosh!"

The Bloodskull suddenly teleported.

In its place, a blood-colored afterimage remained.

Chen Jing's heart raced, his rich combat experience and sharp battlefield instincts saving his life.

"Ding!"

Chen Jing raised his blade to block, his body reacting faster than his mind.

The Bloodskull indeed appeared before Chen Jing, and the Blood Blade slashed fiercely at his steel blade.

The blood droplets that splattered from the Blood Blade were scalding hot!

The droplets landed on Chen Jing's face,

To be precise, they landed on Chen Jing's Water Armor, steaming and forming wisps of white mist.

"Hula~"

Liu Ming, clad in a crimson robe, suddenly whipped his tail.

"Chi—"

The Bloodskull suddenly changed targets, teleporting over before anyone could react.

The slim blood blade was incredibly sharp!

The crimson robe's tail, like a red sea wave, parted to the sides under the Blood Blade's attack.

Liu Ming's pupils contracted violently!

In the blink of an eye, the Bloodskull had sliced through the Crimson Robe, a source of pride for the Crimson Robe Sect, and the Blood Blade struck true.

"Aaaaaah!"

Liu Ming let out a miserable scream as he was slashed and sent flying.

The hot blood droplets ran from Liu Ming's right shoulder down to his left waist.

The Blood Blade not only sliced through the Crimson Robe but also the Water Armor unique to the human race.

It even tore through Liu Ming's clothes and flesh.

The blood droplets from the blade's swing, mixed with the blood from the wound, seeped into Liu Ming's body, causing a boiling sensation.

Chen Jing's eyes widened in fury, "Old Liu..."

These two short words were all he could manage.

The blood-colored figure appeared and disappeared like a ghost, reappearing before Chen Jing.

This time, Chen Jing couldn't block the attack.

Previously, Chen Jing had been highly focused, performing beyond his usual capabilities.

But this time, his attention wavered as he glanced at his heavily injured teammate.

The Demon - Bloodskull, in an instant, executed a left slash and right stab.

Without a moment's pause.

The scorching Blood Blade, which had just sent Liu Ming flying, now pierced Chen Jing's lower abdomen.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Chen Jing's pupils contracted to a needle-like state.

The Bloodskull's gaze was like a blade, and his sinister blood-colored eyes seemed to pierce Chen Jing's heart.

"Chi!"

The Blood Blade was withdrawn and thrust in again.

The Bloodskull clearly had the ability to kill with a single strike, but he didn't do so.

For this Red Sash Believer, the Bloodskull showed unusual care.

He withdrew the blade and plunged it into Chen Jing's abdomen again.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

The Bloodskull remained silent, striking again and again.

His blood-colored eyes remained fixed on Chen Jing's eyes.

It was as if he wanted to see something in the eyes of this brave and fearless Red Sash Believer.

Fear, pain, regret, and despair.

Just like the person behind them.

The Bloodskull slowly turned his head, looking at the young Green Phoenix Believer behind him.

This newly employed Moon Gazer seemed completely terrified.

He didn't fight back or try to escape.

He just stood there, his face pale, trembling, and staring blankly at the scene.

Fear,

A deep-seated fear permeated the Green Phoenix Believer's heart.

The intense emotions of the human race, though invisible, nourished the Bloodskull not far away.

The Bloodskull turned his head, allowing the Green Phoenix Believer to stand behind him, and looked at Chen Jing in front of him.

Chen Jing's mouth was bleeding, his eyes were unfocused, and his abdomen was a bloody mess.

The Bloodskull slowly withdrew the slim blood blade, and just as he was about to stab again...

"Baaah!!!"
