Tushan Great Demon

But now, Guo Pin's attack patterns had long been seen through by Chen Guan!

No matter what method he tried, he could no longer hope to defeat Chen Guan.

Chen Guan cast a cold eye on Guo Pin, who had split into four, and a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Right here!"

His eagle-like eyes instantly locked onto the real Guo Pin.

Ignoring the attacks from the other three Guo Pins, he charged straight at the man on his left.

Then, stepping with Whirlwind Wind Steps, a gust of wind kicked up around him.

His body rose above Guo Pin's head, and his fist slammed down with brutal force from above.

Dragon Elephant Power erupted instantly, and with a loud bang, a violent explosion sounded.

Guo Pin's Demon Body was shattered into pieces by that single punch!

[Slain a Demon Body at the seventh layer of Blood Forging Realm. Reward: four hundred years of lifespan.]

The system's prompt rang in his mind. One Demon Body alone yielded four hundred years of lifespan—truly terrifying.

After landing, Chen Guan gasped for breath.

Defeating this Demon Body had cost him considerable effort.

"Young Master Chen, even this Demon Body was no match for you. This humble woman admires you!"

Qin Yanran came to his side, bowed, and spoke with heartfelt respect.

But Chen Guan waved his hand and smiled lightly. "No matter, just luck. Let's rest for a bit!"

However, Dragon Elephant Power could only be fused once for now, so he had to focus on raising his realm as quickly as possible.

But these two encounters had shown him that the system still had many functions yet to be unlocked.

He could take the time later to thoroughly study the system's capabilities.

"Miss Qin, that golden light that shone from you when Guo Pin ambushed you—what was it?"

Chen Guan's question made Qin Yanran shake her head. "This humble woman does not know. I've never seen it before!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Chen Guan could only acknowledge it with a grunt.

After resting for a while, the two continued on their way.

They were now in the heart of Tushan.

Qin Yanran held the map, and together they finally found the location of the Dragon's Blood Resin.

This was the place where Dragon's Blood Resin grew most abundantly—covering the hillsides everywhere. Qin Yanran excitedly stepped forward to start picking!

On this trip to Tushan, he had also uncovered information that the Qin Family was colluding with demons. Once he returned to the city, he would need to investigate the Qin Family thoroughly.

"Someone's coming!"

As Chen Guan watched Qin Yanran picking, his ears suddenly twitched, catching sounds not far away.

He quickly said a word and pulled Qin Yanran to hide to the side.

Dozens of black-robed men arrived and stopped here. The leader was dressed in fine clothes, but no one recognized his identity.

"Mr. Zhao! The higher-ups want us to take Qingshi County as soon as possible. But the Great King doesn't seem eager to act!"

The subordinate's words made Mr. Zhao sneer. "No matter. The higher-ups are paving the way for what's next. Qingshi County will soon be fully under the County Office's control. That's when the Great King will make his move!"

With that, he led his men deeper into Tushan.

Seeing this, Chen Guan spoke slowly. "Miss Qin, wait here. I'll be back shortly!"

Then he got up and chased after Mr. Zhao's direction.

They traveled along a steep hillside, the wheelbarrow creaking as it pressed against the ground.

He followed Mr. Zhao and his men to the entrance of a cave near Tushan.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author—maybe it's just been renamed!

Mr. Zhao pulled out a token, waved it, and led his men, pushing the wheelbarrow, into the cave.

Chen Guan rushed over as well, but the cave entrance seemed to have an invisible wall blocking him from entering!

This reminded him of the token in Mr. Zhao's hand. It seemed that without the token, no one could enter the cave!

He thought for a moment, then continued to hide nearby, watching and waiting.

An hour later, a black-robed man came out of the cave. Judging by his hurried look, he clearly needed to relieve himself. Chen Guan followed closely behind.

He trailed the black-robed man into a nearby thicket.

Seeing the man unbutton his pants, Chen Guan lunged forward and clamped a hand around his throat!

"Who are you?"

The black-robed man froze in terror, unable to move, and quickly asked.

"You don't need to know. What's inside that cave?"

Chen Guan shot back with a direct question.

The Black-Robed Man's eyes darted, about to play dumb, when Chen Guan's voice dripped with murderous intent right in his ear: "If you don't speak honestly, I'll make you wish you were dead rather than alive!"

"Hero, spare me! I'll tell you everything! In this cave is a Great Demon of Tushan, who controls all the demons and monsters on Tushan!"

"This Great Demon devours at least two people every day, so the County Lieutenant sends prisoners over! His goal is to take control of all of Qingshi County!"

The Black-Robed Man dared not lie, so he laid out the situation on Tushan.

Chen Guan stared at him with furrowed brows. "What cultivation realm is this Great Demon? And who are the 'higher-ups' you mentioned?"

"This lowly one doesn't know. We're only responsible for relaying intelligence; we've never seen the Great Demon's form. Only people like the Qin Family have that opportunity! But everything that happens on Tushan cannot escape the Great Demon's eyes!"

"As for the higher-ups, this lowly one only knows that the Great Demon is cooperating with some official. Who that is, we don't know either!"

The Black-Robed Man shook his head, his body trembling.

Chen Guan's heart stirred. It seemed that his and Qin Yanran's movements had already fallen under the Great Demon's watch!

"How do I get into this cave?"

Chen Guan's question prompted the Black-Robed Man to speak: "The cave is enchanted by the Great Demon's sorcery. Only those holding a Token personally issued by it can enter! Right now, I'm afraid only a handful of people have one!"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Chen Guan wasted no time in snapping the Black-Robed Man's neck!

What puzzled him now was this.

Since the Great Demon had long known that he and Qin Yanran had come up the mountain, why hadn't it attacked them directly?

Instead, it sent someone like Guo Pin to intercept them. Did the Great Demon think Guo Pin was enough to kill him?

He pondered for a long time, then a sudden flash of insight struck him. Perhaps the Great Demon was playing a long game.

Its goal was to lure them deep into Tushan, then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

This thought made him uneasy!

Since he had encountered no danger here, it meant the Great Demon hadn't made a move against him—but it had against Qin Yanran.

"Damn it!"

With that thought, he spun around and charged straight in the direction Qin Yanran had gone.

And after he vanished, Mr. Zhao stepped out from the darkness, watching his retreating back.

"The Demon Suppressing Division, so what? Still toyed with in the palm of the Great King's hand! You won't escape Tushan!"

Mr. Zhao's voice rang out, cold and sinister.

Qin Yanran, bored waiting for Chen Guan, continued picking the Dragon's Blood Resin here. This amount would be enough to make the court's required wound salve!

But she didn't notice that two pure-white hedgehogs had appeared behind her, their crimson pupils fixed on her.

Dozens of thumb-sized Hornets swarmed in from all around, the stingers on their tails gleaming with a sickly green light.

Qin Yanran spun around, but the Hornets were already right in front of her.
