His eyes widened, his mouth forming an "O."
###
###
He even forgot to breathe.
###
His eyes stayed fixed on Jiang Chen, not moving for a long time.
###
Jiang Chen now wore a long, black-and-white Shinigami uniform.
###
His eyes had turned black and white.
###
Different auras radiated from the two sides of his body.
###
One was bone-chillingly cold.
###
The other carried a deathly stillness.
###
He held a different Zanpakuto in each hand.
###
The one on his left was called Zangetsu.
###
The one on his right was called Sode no Shirayuki.
###
He looked at the black coffin above him and the super demon's body, trapped in the seal behind him.
###
He thought, Let's go, Sode no Shirayuki. Zangetsu.
###
He merely gave his swords a light swing.
###
It looked like a harmless move, yet it carried the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
###
"Boom!"
###
"Boom!"
###
"Rip!"
###
"Whoosh!"
###
After several piercing sounds rang out,
###
everything around them fell silent.
###
Zhang Banxian had sensed that the power radiating from Jiang Chen was extraordinary, so he had set up a protective barrier well in advance.
###
Once the sounds outside the barrier stopped,
###
Zhang Banxian finally looked out.
###
He saw two savage gashes in the stone wall.
###
The super demon's body and the black coffin had vanished.
###
He couldn't sense even the slightest trace of demonic aura here.
###
That meant Jiang Chen had completely destroyed the super demon.
###
Good heavens, that was incredible.
###
He had destroyed the super demon with just one move.
###
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes,
###
Zhang Banxian would never have believed what he was seeing.
###
He had thought that without a divine artifact, defeating the super demon would be impossible.
###
Now it seemed that Uncle-Master Jiang's supernatural ability was as powerful as a divine artifact.
###
Uncle-Master Jiang was amazing.
###
Filled with admiration, Zhang Banxian gazed at Jiang Chen.
###
Jiang Chen had his back to Zhang Banxian.
###
From Zhang Banxian's vantage point, he couldn't see that Jiang Chen looked terrible.
###
Using two Zanpakuto at once had consumed too much spiritual power.
###
If he hadn't had a Restoration Potion, the Zanpakuto would have turned on him.
###
At worst, the backlash could have made his spirit body collapse.
###
Then Jiang Chen would no longer exist in this world.
###
Jiang Chen could feel that his body was still weak.
###
He drank another bottle of Restoration Potion.
###
Only then did he feel a little better.
###
Once he had regained some strength, he put the Zanpakuto away in his system inventory.
###
"Uncle-Master Jiang, you destroyed the super demon's body all by yourself. I'm sure Master will be thrilled when he hears. You saved this city. You're a true hero, and I want to become someone like you."
###
Zhang Banxian walked over to Jiang Chen, unable to hold back his excitement.
###
"Now's not the time to talk."
###
"We need to get out of here!"
###
"Why?" Zhang Banxian asked, confused.
###
"This place is going to collapse!"
###
"Ah!"
###
Before Zhang Banxian could react, a huge rock broke loose from the ceiling above him and came crashing down.
###
Jiang Chen hurriedly used Flash Step to take Zhang Banxian to safety.
###
"Bang!"
###
The huge rock hit the ground with a loud crash.
###
Zhang Banxian's heart pounded in response.
###
"Thank you for saving my life, Uncle-Master. I still have a long way to go in my training. I didn't even notice it."
###
Thinking that he had nearly died, Zhang Banxian knew he would have been smashed to pieces if Jiang Chen hadn't saved him.
###
"It's fine. This place isn't safe. Let's go!"
###
"Okay!"
###
Saving Zhang Banxian was no more than a small kindness to Jiang Chen.
###
He didn't think it was anything difficult.
###
To Zhang Banxian, being saved was like receiving a second life; he would repay the kindness a hundredfold.
###
Jiang Chen naturally had no idea what he was thinking.
###
Zhang Banxian didn't plan to say anything, either.
###
He thought that Uncle-Master Jiang was so powerful now that even if he wanted to repay him, Jiang Chen probably wouldn't need his help.
###
It would be better to wait until he grew stronger and could be of use to Uncle-Master Jiang before repaying him.
###
The two of them retraced their steps.
###
Before long, they reached the place where they had entered.
###
But there was no door, so they couldn't get out.
###
Zhang Banxian remembered Song Yiyi saying to call her if they ran into any danger.
###
He called up toward the ceiling, "Song Yiyi! Song Yiyi! Open the door and let us out!"
###
Song Yiyi, who had been waiting at the entrance to the secret chamber, heard him.
###
Ever since the two of them had gone inside, she had been on tenterhooks.
###
She had no idea how they were doing in there or whether they were in danger.
###
Many times, she had wanted to open the door herself and find out what was happening.
###
But then she remembered Jiang Chen's instructions.
###
If they failed, someone would have to notify General Pagoda and ask him to take charge.
###
So she had held back and kept the secret chamber closed.
###
After waiting for nearly three hours, she heard Zhang Banxian calling.
###
Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly opened the entrance to the secret chamber. "I've opened the door. Come out!"
###
A black hole appeared behind them.
###
Once they came out, Song Yiyi looked them over from head to toe.
###
Aside from some damage to their clothes, neither of them seemed hurt.
###
She asked, "How did it go in there?"
###
"Uncle-Master Jiang took care of it!" Zhang Banxian replied briefly.
###
"What!"
###
Song Yiyi asked as if she couldn't believe it, "You mean Jiang Chen destroyed the super demon's body?"
###
"How did you manage that?"
###
"It was Uncle-Master Jiang..."
###
Zhang Banxian was about to say that Jiang Chen's supernatural ability had done it, but Jiang Chen cut him off. "The elders of Dragon Tiger Mountain sent a divine artifact especially for us. That's how we made it through safely."
###
At Jiang Chen's words, Zhang Banxian immediately played along. "Right, that's what happened."
###
"My master sent a divine artifact from Dragon Tiger Mountain especially for us. That's how we destroyed the super demon."
###
So that was what had happened.
###
But one question still nagged at Song Yiyi, so she asked, "Wasn't it dangerous in there?"
###
"No. There was a powerful seal inside. The super demon's body was trapped in it and couldn't use even a fraction of its power," Zhang Banxian explained.
###
That had sounded far too easy. Song Yiyi sensed that something was off, though she couldn't say what.
###
Seeing that she still had more to say, Jiang Chen had no interest in listening.
###
He said to her, "If there's nothing else, we'll head back to class."
###
Song Yiyi felt a little sad. She had wanted to ask whether Jiang Chen was injured; if he was, the school had professional doctors who could treat him.
###
But Jiang Chen wouldn't even give her the chance to speak.
###
His expression made it clear that he didn't want to stay here.
###
She felt a little uncomfortable.
###
However, Song Yiyi didn't show it. Smiling, she said, "In any case, the two of you deserve great credit for destroying the super demon and saving this city. I'll report this to General Pagoda and make sure you're rewarded."
###
"And then..."
###
Before she could finish, the floor of the principal's office began to spin violently.
###
Zhang Banxian saw what was happening and shouted, "Help!!!"
