Whoosh!
It was deep into the night when Su Chen and his companions swiftly made their way toward the academy. Suddenly, in the distance, ten dark figures lined up in formation, resembling a flock of geese, blocking their path.
Who are they?
Upon seeing these shadows, Wang Lin immediately halted. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he sensed an astonishing aura emanating from them. In their presence, he felt he lacked even the courage to look them in the eye.
Shenzong! As he caught sight of the middle-aged swordsman at the forefront surrounded by a golden aura, Wang Lin's heart sank.
After his harrowing experience with this high-level mission, he was thoroughly terrified. All he wanted now was to survive and return to the academy; as for achieving great merit or humiliating Su Chen, those thoughts no longer mattered to him.
Demon Slayer Corps.
Seeing the attire of this group, Su Chen's eyes flickered with coldness. Ever since they had issued the Hundred Days Demon Slayer order against him, these guys had been like a persistent shadow.
Be careful; the leader is Gui, the commander of the Demon Slayer Corps! A One Star Divine Sect expert! Lin Aoxue warned.
The appearance of a true Shenzong expert brought an immense pressure upon everyone present. Moreover, behind him stood nine Peak Grandmasters!
Since the issuance of the Hundred Days Demon Slayer order two months ago, assassins sent by the Demon Slayer Corps had been continuously eliminated, while Su Chen remained alive and well. This was undoubtedly a challenge to their authority.
This time, the Demon Slayer Corps was pulling out all the stops to eliminate Su Chen once and for all!
At that moment, Gui slowly spoke, his voice laced with a chilling undertone. "Rest assured, we of the Demon Slayer Corps have no intention of becoming enemies with Stellar Academy. Our only goal is to eliminate this child."
As he spoke, he pointed directly at Su Chen.
Hearing this, Wang Lin and his three companions breathed a sigh of relief and quickly distanced themselves from Su Chen, fearful of being implicated.
Only Ye Rou and Xiao Long Nu remained by Su Chen's side.
Xiao Long Nu was naturally fearless; after all, with her background and connections, anyone who dared to harm her would face the wrath of the Dragon King—enough to turn all of Great Xia upside down.
However, what surprised Su Chen was that Shen Hou Zi was also standing beside him. If he remembered correctly, didn’t Shen Hou Zi want to fight him?
I, Shen Hou Zi, will never abandon my companions. As if sensing Su Chen's thoughts, Shen Hou Zi spoke coldly, his tone leaving no room for politeness.
Su Chen, however, appeared indifferent.
"You take Lin Aoxue away; I'll handle the rest," Su Chen said, handing Lin Aoxue over to Ye Rou before urging them to leave. After all, while the other party claimed they wouldn't resort to violence, once a fight broke out, no one could predict how things might change.
At this moment, though Ye Rou and the others wanted to stay, they realized that their presence would only be a burden given their own strength. Thus, they took Lin Aoxue and departed.
Now, only Su Chen and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps remained.
"Xiao Hulu, may I request a chance to strike first?" Su Chen attempted to communicate with Xiao Hulu.
Just as Xiao Hulu sighed and was about to respond, a tremendous aura erupted from within Su Chen's body.
It was Jiu You Senior! Feeling this overwhelming presence, Su Chen's heart leaped with joy.
At that moment, the slumbering Nine Nether Devouring Sparrow awakened!
"I have enough energy now; I can execute a Wang Jing attack!" At this time, Jiu You realized Su Chen's predicament and spoke up.
"One Wang Jing attack is enough!" Su Chen replied, his gaze turning icy.
Simultaneously, the Heavenly Dragon Staff appeared in his palm.
"You lot, subdue him!" With a chilling snort from behind him, nine figures received the command and immediately charged toward Su Chen.
"Immortal Ape God, manifest!"
Golden light flickered in Su Chen's eyes as the figure of the Giant Ape materialized before him.
