Chapter 66: Demon Slaying and Rescue
Chapter 66: Demon Slaying and Rescue
Watching Su Chen's back, Ouyang Chuan couldn't help but curse, "Stinky kid."
But this time, Ouyang Chuan chose to follow Su Chen's arrangement.
After all, Su Chen had previously warned about the possibility of a powerful demon, and indeed, there was one.
Without hesitation, Ouyang Chuan leaped into the air and chose the tallest tree.
Standing on the treetop, he kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings.
The signal fireworks were less noticeable during the day, so he needed to be more attentive.
In this wilderness, Su Chen wouldn't have the chance to set off fireworks to alert him again.
Two of his disciples had been carried away by a powerful demon, and their fate was uncertain.
Ouyang Chuan, a fifth-rank Snow Intention Realm instructor, had searched in vain and was ready to give up.
But unexpectedly, Su Chen took the initiative to venture into the dense forest to rescue them.
At this moment, Ouyang Chuan's heart was filled with apprehension.
However, Su Chen's precise judgment about the demon's location had given him a bit more confidence.
Su Chen ventured deeper into the forest.
After passing through a dense forest, the area behind it became slightly more open.
The plants in this region appeared shorter.
In the distance, Su Chen spotted Jin Yue and Ran Ting.
Beside them were four powerful demons surrounding them.
They encircled but did not attack, waiting for reinforcements.
Meanwhile, Jin Yue and Ran Ting were both injured, and blood dripped from their arms.
The demons could afford to wait, but the two women couldn't.
In their hands were only some stones, as their weapons had been lost during the initial ambush.
On this open ground, Su Chen also discovered traces left by the Golden Demon.
Were these four demons planning to offer the two women to the Golden Demon?
Su Chen wondered, but he had already sensed the presence of the Golden Demon in the distance.
When the Golden Demon arrived, there would be no chance of survival for the two women.
Without hesitation, Su Chen quickly ignited the signal fireworks.
After a cry, the fireworks blossomed in the sky.
The sound of the fireworks seemed to momentarily attract the attention of the demons.
The next moment, Su Chen's long sword slashed forward.
He unleashed all the moves of the Lin Family Blade Technique, and the blade descended with formidable force.
The long sword struck the neck of a demon, slicing right through it.
Blood gushed out, and the demon perished.
The demon wasn't that weak; an eighth-rank Essence Refinement Mid-stage demon could wound them.
But it usually took more than one move to take their lives.
However, Su Chen had consumed the Jade Optimum Fruit, making his body stronger than the average martial artist.
He had also cultivated the Profound Heavenly Dao Heart Law, further enhancing his strength.
Additionally, with the Blade Walker Heavenly Will, this strike naturally claimed the lives of these beasts.
Sheathing his long sword, Su Chen immediately pulled Jin Yue and Ran Ting behind him.
"Su Chen!"
Upon seeing Su Chen, Jin Yue froze in her tracks.
She had imagined her rescue countless times, but never did she think it would be Su Chen who came to save them.
One demon perished, and the other three seemed to become even more ferocious.
Su Chen held his long sword in front of Jin Yue and Ran Ting, blocking their way.
These three demons were waiting, waiting for the Golden Demon to arrive.
But they didn't know that Su Chen was also waiting, waiting for Ouyang Chuan to come.
"Slowly retreat, maintain the formation,"
Su Chen whispered, instructing the two women to try to move back and distance themselves.
"Our legs are injured, and the muscles and bones are affected,"
Jin Yue didn't waste words, directly expressing their difficulty.
Indeed, moving was more challenging than standing.
Facing the demons, falling would be a sign of weakness, and they might even pounce and attack.
"Then stand firm, we'll continue the standoff. Reinforcements are coming."
Su Chen's gaze frequently shifted southeastward, where the Golden Demon was approaching.
Suddenly, a Golden Demon emerged from the bushes.
Su Chen remembered its aura; it was the same demon that had ambushed Gong Zhiyun's defense line.
It was about to advance to an Earth Demon, and it had been thinking of capturing and devouring martial artists.
No wonder the demons on the various defense lines had been exceptionally aggressive towards humans lately.
In the past, these demons crossing the defense lines were often trying to flee to the rear.
The Feline Demons were still reluctant to engage with the martial artists.
Their recent unusual behavior was all due to this Golden Demon.
Upon seeing Su Chen and the other two, the Golden Demon before them let out a howl.
Its blood pouch mouth opened wide, causing Jin Yue and Ran Ting, the two disciples with little experience in dealing with demonic creatures, to tremble unconsciously.
At this moment, Su Chen tightly gripped his longsword.
In front of him, he could only try to delay as much as possible, waiting for Ouyang Chuan's reinforcement.
[Blade Walker]'s Divine Destiny was activated, [Indomitable] Divine Destiny was activated.
The longsword, with the swiftness of the Lin Family Blade Technique, suddenly slashed forward.
This Golden Demon would not give them a chance to stand off, so it was better to take the initiative.
Su Chen did not hold back at all, unleashing his full strength.
Jin Yue and Ran Ting, seeing this scene, were even more astonished.
Especially Jin Yue, she thought that Su Chen's victory over Hou Shenfei was already at his limit.
Moreover, there was also the reason for Hou Shenfei's lack of experience.
But now, Su Chen was fighting against the Golden Demon.
And this Golden Demon, it was about to be promoted to an Earth Demon.
Ordinary seventh rank Valley Embrace Mid-stage individuals would probably be defeated. But Su Chen, was actually able to fight this Golden Demon.
Su Chen's heart was not in panic, he still had one move, the Midnight Blade Style, but only one move.
After one move, he would likely become exhausted.
That was his last resort.
In an instant, a longsword had already broken through the air.
The strength of a fifth rank Snow Intention Realm, without the slightest reservation.
Ouyang Chuan saw the demonic creature before him, and his heart was filled with killing intent.
As an instructor, he had performed very poorly today, allowing his two students to be captured by the demonic creature.
Looking at the blood beneath Jin Yue and Ran Ting's feet, his anger intensified.
This Golden Demon probably didn't expect to provoke a fifth rank Snow Intention Realm expert.
Wanting to escape, but facing the gap between them, it couldn't escape due to Su Chen's restraint.
The few demonic creatures before them perished in just a moment.
They had always been the ones ambushing others, and today, being ambushed by a fifth rank expert, they probably didn't expect that either.
"Let's evacuate from here first, there's blood everywhere, and it will soon attract other demonic creatures."
Hearing Su Chen's words, the others didn't say more.
They turned and walked into the dense forest.
Ouyang Chuan supported Jin Yue and Ran Ting, walking unsteadily.
Seeing this, Su Chen stepped forward and carried Jin Yue on his back, quickening his pace.
Ouyang Chuan also carried Ran Ting on his back, heading back.
Along the way, Su Chen's longsword didn't stop, continuously hacking away, cutting down the surrounding plants.
"Su Chen, what are you doing?"
"There's blood on their bodies, and the smell of blood is extremely sensitive to demonic creatures' sense of smell.
By cutting down these plants, the broken branches will emit a scent, masking and confusing the blood smell.
This way, we can avoid being tracked by demonic creatures."
Hearing this, Ouyang Chuan nodded awkwardly.
Although he was an instructor, this was the first time he had heard of such an experience.
However, they could indeed smell the scent emanating from the cut plants.
After walking for a while, Su Chen put Jin Yue down.
He went to the side, gathered some herbs.
[Skillful Hands] Divine Destiny was activated, quickly chopping the herbs, then applied the herbs to Jin Yue and Ran Ting's wounds.
"After applying these, the bleeding will stop soon."
Su Chen explained.
But this explanation was somewhat unnecessary, because at this moment, no one questioned Su Chen anymore.
After applying the herbs to both of them, Su Chen went to get some planks and then fitted them together.
"It's easier to open your wounds if I carry you, sit on the planks, and I'll carry you back with Mr. Ouyang."
Understanding Su Chen's intention with the planks, Jin Yue beside him didn't know what she was thinking.
Unable to hold back, she replied, "Actually, the wound doesn't hurt that much, we don't need the planks."
But after saying this, she immediately realized it was inappropriate.
Hurriedly, she stumbled and sat on the planks.
