Lu Jun Charged In

Lu Jun stood silently, with the time before the start being just one incense stick.

The air beside his ears was filled with a tangle of discussions.

"Do you know what this test is about? The trials the Demon Slaying Division gives us are different every time."

"Heh, you didn't pay Elder Mo enough, did you...? The content of this trial is simple and straightforward: slay demons."

"The Demon Slaying Division has demons?"

"What clan are you from...? How can you be so ignorant? The Demon Slaying Division has a special treasure called the Demon Locking Tower. It's specifically used to imprison demons. The Demon Slaying Division sends people inside to study the demons' habits and weaknesses."

"In a moment, this Demon Locking Tower will release fifty low-strength demons to fight us. As long as you kill one, you can become a Sword Wielder of the Demon Slaying Division. Kill five or more, and you can directly become a Bronze Robe!"

"Fifty demons? There are only twenty-two of us here. Will there be enough to go around?"

"Enough to go around? What nonsense are you talking about? Demons are powerful. Even the weakest demon is extremely difficult for Law Seekers like us, who have only just opened their apertures, to deal with. With your eyes too high and your skills too low, if you didn't pay Elder Mo, you'll probably have trouble killing even one."

"Hey, who do you think will take first place in this trial? I heard the Demon Slaying Division rewards the champion with a treasure every time. This time, the reward is a magical treasure—the Mystic Crane Cloud Mist Robe. I hear its defensive effect is incredibly powerful, and it can even increase the casting speed of divine abilities!"

"I think it should be Miss Mu Han of the Water Blessing Clan, or perhaps that disciple from the Puppet Corpse Dock named Chen Jiang, or maybe Qingshan Yang of the Sun-Burning Clan... I hear all three of them have already reached the Zhou Tian Realm."

"..."

Everyone's eyes turned in unison toward the three extraordinary young people at the center of the arena.

One woman and two men.

It had to be said that the bloodlines accumulated by the Law Seeker clans over generations were quite remarkable.

All three were easy on the eyes—the woman beautiful, the men handsome.

"I've always wanted to spar with the two of you when I had the time. As it happens, today has given me the chance..." Qingshan Yang threw his head back and laughed.

"I won't lose." Mu Han's voice was cold, her tone brimming with confidence.

Chen Jiang remained silent, merely leaning his body against the two Green Zombies beside him.

Those Law Seeker clan scions had not avoided Lu Jun while speaking, so he heard every word clearly.

Lu Jun was absolutely ecstatic.

He had been worrying about not finding any demons to kill... and now the Demon Slaying Division had delivered them straight to his doorstep.

"Kill one to become a Sword Wielder, and kill five or more to become a Bronze Robe?"

"What if I kill them all?"

Lu Jun thought silently.

That was right—this was exactly what Lu Jun was thinking.

Kill them all, leaving none for anyone present.

Perhaps he could raise his Demon Essence to ten thousand, and conveniently advance the River Lord Subdues the Flood Dragon Art to the third layer as well.

Lu Jun was already itching to get started.

However, the waiting did not last long.

Soon, Mo Lou appeared on the high platform holding a demon tower and leaped down. He wore the Demon Slaying Division's uniform, but the strange patterns embroidered on it with silver thread gave him an almost ethereal air.

Mo Lou then announced the rules to everyone.

They were indeed just as the others had said.

"Fifty demons will be released in total. Killing one demon makes you a Sword Wielder; killing five or more makes you a Bronze Robe."

After saying that, Mo Lou raised his hand. The treasure tower in his palm instantly grew larger, soon reaching nearly a hundred zhang in size.

Countless resentful, pained, and pleading voices came from within the tower.

"Humans! You blood-fed rations, let us out!"

"We were wrong! Forgive us! We'll never eat humans again!"

"Humans! You despicable, weak creatures! Once we get out, we'll strip your bones and pull out your tendons!"

"..."

The wails of countless demons rose and fell, mournful as sobs and laments.

Quite a few of the Law Seekers in the arena even had legs that trembled slightly. They had always cultivated at home and rarely faced demons in the true sense of the word.

Lu Jun's eyes burned as he stared fervently at the Demon Suppressing Tower before him.

This was practically a treasure trove.

"If only I had a chance to enter it."

Lu Jun muttered softly.

"Open!" Mo Lou shouted in a low voice.

In an instant, the first level of the Demon Suppressing Tower opened, and countless streams of black smoke suddenly poured out through the tower gate.

Soon, the dense black fog carried the clattering of chains, the frantic pounding of running feet, and the hair-raising howls of wild beasts.

"Humans! So many humans!"

"How fragrant! They smell even better than all the humans I've eaten before!"

"Leave the women to me! Their flesh is the most tender!!"

"..."

Countless hoarse, gloomy voices spread through the thick black fog.

The many Law Seekers present could not help but freeze.

"Scatter!" Mo Lou shouted again, and the black fog dispersed.

Everyone saw what had been concealed within it.

Countless wolf-shaped demons wore savage expressions and hideous faces, saliva dripping from their mouths.

Yet golden chains covered in strange patterns were wrapped around all their waists. The chains' source was precisely the inside of the Demon Suppressing Tower's gate, which had just opened.

Mo Lou calmly addressed the demons before him. "If you can kill the people in front of you, you will gain your freedom."

After saying that, Mo Lou turned and spoke to the Law Seeker examinees. "The trial begins now!"

The next second, Mo Lou's figure suddenly vanished before everyone's eyes.

At the same time, the chains around the waists of countless demons suddenly snapped.

"Kill! Kill these humans!"

"Finally, we can have a proper feast!"

"Ahh, that feels great!"

The wolf-shaped demons instantly became beasts breaking free of their restraints, charging toward the Law Seekers in unison.

"Son of a bitch! These are real demons!"

Many of the Law Seekers were facing demons head-on for the first time, and they became flustered and helpless for a moment.

Still, there were rational people among them. One of them hurriedly said, "Everyone, don't panic. These Gray Wolf Demons are only the weakest demons. Their weakness is their eyes. As long as you can disrupt these beasts' vision, they won't be a threat..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a wild gale sweep past his side.

"Look, who's that? He charged straight in!"

"What a ruthless man. He doesn't care if he lives or dies..."

"He seems to be called Lu Jun. Yun Jinyi brought him back. I hear his family was eaten by demons, and that awakened his Innate Divine Ability..."

"No wonder he hates demons so much..."

Everyone stood frozen in place, silently watching the figure ahead—the lone person who had charged into the pack of Gray Wolf Demons.

For some inexplicable reason, they felt a touch of tragic grandeur, as if he possessed the spirit of Even if ten million stand before me, I shall still go forth.

But then the scene shifted.

At that moment, Lu Jun wore a feral grin. With the effects of the Cloud Climbing Ladder and the Soaring Wind divine ability, his speed had already reached its absolute limit. As he raced forward, afterimages continuously swept past behind him.

The horizontal saber in his hand flashed with blazing flames, mingled with the deep roar of a tiger.

"Wolf cubs!"

"I've been holding it in for two whole days!"

"I've finally found you!"
