Chapter 58: The Golden Demon Arrives
Chapter 58: The Golden Demon Arrives
At times, Su Chen felt that he should be more selfish.
Since others looked down on him, why bother helping them?
It was a painful feeling to have a warm face slapped by a cold buttock.
Perhaps it was related to his past experiences, but Su Chen couldn't bring himself to be so ruthless.
Without deep-seated hatred, Su Chen didn't wish for others to walk down a path of no return and perish in the jaws of demons.
Moreover, allowing demons to launch surprise attacks would also endanger the civilians in the rear.
After hearing Su Chen's words, Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu, his senior brother and senior sister, stopped making those aggressive remarks.
They also knew that if there really was a surprise attack by the Golden Demon, Gong Zhiyun and her team would likely suffer heavy casualties.
If their vigilance was even slightly weaker, Gong Zhiyun herself might sustain serious injuries.
After saying so much in complaint, they still had to help.
The sky had completely darkened, and after a brief discussion, Su Chen headed towards the right side to meet up with his allies.
Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu made their way to the defense line guarded by Gong Zhiyun.
At this moment, there were basically no issues with Su Chen's defense line.
The concentrated defense strategy made the entire four-mile line much easier to guard.
The two had faith in Su Chen's judgment.
Su Chen had marked two possible locations where the Golden Demon might launch an assault.
Gong Zhiyun and her team couldn't be vigilant enough, so they had to find a way to help.
Not long after entering the defense line, Gong Zhiyun led several disciples and approached them.
She had originally wanted to say something, but her junior sister pulled her back.
Both sides exchanged glances without speaking and then left.
After walking away, Gong Zhiyun's junior sister finally spoke up.
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Wu Yi and the others came to help.
We shouldn't be so harsh with our words.
What if there really is a Golden Demon?"
Hearing this, Gong Zhiyun reached out and tapped her junior sister.
"That Su Chen is taking advantage of your kind thoughts. When you're anxious, you'll start to think it's better to believe there's a demon than not.
But how could he possibly have such skills?
If you let him inspect the entire defense line, he might claim to find traces of Golden Demon activity everywhere.
Your experience is too shallow, and your ability to judge people is insufficient.
With a glance, I can see his true nature."
Gong Zhiyun smiled, as if imparting life experience to her junior sister.
However, she also agreed with her junior sister's words.
After all, Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu had come to help, regardless of whether Su Chen thought their actions were unnecessary.
Even if he believed their efforts were excessive, he shouldn't have said such harsh words.
Despite claiming disbelief, Gong Zhiyun remained vigilant that night, personally inspecting the entire defense line around the Yin hour.
But the night passed peacefully, with calm winds and gentle waves.
When dawn broke, Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu returned to their defense line.
But as night fell again, they came back.
Seeing them, Gong Zhiyun seemed a bit annoyed.
In the end, she said nothing, turning away with a cold expression.
The calm of the previous night made Gong Zhiyun even more confident in her judgment.
The higher the rank of the demon, the more cunning and cautious they were.
Therefore, without special circumstances, it was rare for Golden Demons to launch surprise attacks on defense lines.
"Tomorrow, if Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu come again, keep them outside.
Every night, they rush to our defense line, making everyone anxious.
Many come to ask if something big is about to happen.
They're all scared and nervous, and their morale is unstable."
By his side, his junior brothers and sisters nodded in agreement.
Indeed, with Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu here to guard the defense line, many disciples felt that the line was in serious trouble.
Otherwise, why would two seventh-rank direct disciples be needed here?
Beside Gong Zhiyun, a junior brother couldn't help but complain.
"I don't know how they can trust that Su Chen so much. He speaks nonsense, and yet they still come to assist the defense."
A junior sister beside him smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because of his handsome appearance; he doesn't look like someone who would lie."
Hearing this, Gong Zhiyun reached out and tapped her forehead, laughing as she scolded, "You, it's probably those people in the Yunyang Sect who have had their credit taken by Su Chen.
And after having their credit taken, they still help him count his money and think he's doing them a favor.
When we judge a person, we should look at their character and virtue.
Someone like Su Chen should be avoided as much as possible."
The group chatted and laughed as they spoke.
On the defense line, there didn't seem to be anything unusual.
Occasionally, some small demons passed by, but this was a normal occurrence.
After nightfall, it was common for small demons to raid.
No one paid much attention, and they guarded the line as they usually did.
There was no moonlight tonight, but the torches along the defense line provided some visibility.
Perhaps it was because of Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu's assistance that everyone was more alert than usual.
They were also worried that something significant might be happening.
At the second hour of the night, a loud shout rang out.
Amidst the shouting, there were also screams and cries of pain.
The sound spread around the defense line, and the torches were snatched by demons and thrown around.
Some flammable materials began to catch fire.
On the defense line, various noises started to increase.
Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu didn't hesitate for a moment and left to head towards the direction of the shouting.
That was another position pointed out by Su Chen.
Previously, they hadn't gone to check that area because they thought there were many of Gong Zhiyun's people guarding it.
As they rushed over, a massive tiger demon was already wreaking havoc.
Nearly all the disciples nearby were injured and were fighting while retreating.
Fortunately, they had been somewhat alert tonight.
Otherwise, if they had been ambushed by a tiger demon with golden demon strength, their lives would have been in peril.
Wu Yi glanced at Yao Xiaoyu, and she immediately nodded.
They then lit the signal fireworks, which stood out vividly in the night sky.
Su Chen saw this and immediately led a group to provide support.
Gong Zhiyun and her team also received the message and hurried over from the rear camp.
In the firelight, the tiger demon's sharp claws gleamed with golden light, seemingly impervious to even bloodstains.
Golden Demon
Gong Zhiyun's expression turned ugly at the sight.
But the situation before her eyes left no room for further thought.
Wu Yi, Yao Xiaoyu, and another seventh-rank Valley Embrace Realm disciple were already engaged in battle with the great demon.
Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu kept Su Chen's words in mind.
This tiger demon was likely a demon with strength close to an earth demon.
From the start, the two of them didn't hold back at all.
Gong Zhiyun also joined the battle, her longsword fierce and showing no mercy.
And as she fought, she realized something.
If it weren't for Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu's presence today, they didn't know what would have happened to them.
Following the golden demon, nearly ten other great demons arrived.
Before long, Su Chen and Lin Tian's group also arrived.
Using the flickering firelight, they began to counterattack against these demons.
