Tushan's Great Melee

Faced with the sudden appearance of the throwing dart.

Chen Guan hurriedly used Whirlwind Wind Steps to change direction in midair and dodge it.

But that brief delay was all it took. When he looked up, the shadow had already vanished.

His face darkened as he stared in the direction the shadow had fled.

In the end, he could only return to his room and go back to sleep.

He lay awake all night.

The next morning.

Chen Guan followed Mu Yuan and the others straight up Tushan.

But they encountered no danger along the way.

"All the demons that have reached the Blood Forging Realm have developed their own intelligence. Faced with a group of experts like us, they don't dare show themselves now!"

Mu Yuan's explanation made Chen Guan nod.

With so many experts around him this time, he could freely hunt demons on Tushan and gain their lifespan.

That was good news for him, too!

"This old man has heard that the Great Demon of Tushan is a demon at the ninth layer of the Blood Forging Realm! It's extremely powerful, so we'll have to proceed with caution!"

Xiong Yan stared nervously at the road ahead as he warned them.

Everyone nodded firmly and continued forward.

At last, they reached the place where Dragon's Blood Resin grew. From there, they weren't far from the Great Demon of Tushan's lair.

And just then.

The roars of demons suddenly rang out all around them.

Thousands of demons that had previously entered the city charged out of the surrounding woods.

The demons came in all shapes and sizes, and they glared at the group with murderous intent.

"That Great Demon has finally made its move! Brothers, let's teach them a lesson and avenge our dead fellow disciples!"

Xiong Yan roared, flames of fiery red coiling around his body.

The Blazing Flame Sect disciples unleashed the martial arts they had learned and plunged straight into the demons, beginning to slaughter those around them.

"Watch yourself!"

After warning Chen Guan, Mu Yuan joined the battle as well.

Watching the situation around him, Chen Guan felt his blood surge.

Golden dragon-and-elephant phantoms flickered around his body. As demons charged at him from every direction, he began to fight back.

The strongest among these demons had only reached the fifth layer of the Blood Forging Realm.

But Chen Guan knew the truly powerful demons hadn't appeared yet. They were surely waiting for them farther ahead!

"Exquisite Leg!"

Chen Guan used Whirlwind Wind Steps to soar through the air.

Extreme Realm Power gathered in his legs.

Gale-force winds rose around him, leaving the demons too afraid to move. Then he kicked out with both legs.

With a thousand catties of force, he instantly killed three or four demons, splashing himself with blood.

But he didn't care in the least.

The Blazing Flame Sect disciples were extremely powerful as well.

The flames burning over their bodies warped the air around them, and their fire engulfed the demons.

In an instant, the demons were reduced to ashes.

But there were thousands upon thousands of demons surrounding them. Before long, the group was outnumbered and surrounded.

"Lord Mu, this won't do! There are far too many demons. We don't have enough people to fight them all!"

After punching a demon away, Xiong Yan shouted loudly.

Mu Yuan had already noticed the same thing.

Their original plan had been to kill the Great Demon of Tushan outright.

That way, no matter how many demons roamed Tushan, they wouldn't pose any threat.

But now, before they had even encountered the Great Demon, they were already on the brink of death.

"Fight your way out at once! Don't get bogged down fighting them!"

Mu Yuan finally gave the order, then led the people around him in an attack toward one direction.

Chen Guan followed behind them, picking off stragglers.

He killed demons they had wounded along the way, and their lifespan flowed into him.

[Slayed Blood Forging Realm Second Layer Gray Wolf, Reward: Demon Lifespan: Sixty Years.]

[Slayed Blood Forging Realm First Layer White Hedgehog, Reward: Demon Lifespan: Ten Years.]

[Slayed Blood Forging Realm Third Layer wild bull, Reward: Demon Lifespan: One Hundred Years.]

[...]

The system's prompts rang out incessantly in his mind.

Watching the Demon Lifespan on the System Panel steadily rise, Chen Guan was overjoyed.

It seemed he wouldn't have to wait long before he could advance his realm again.

With Mu Yuan and Xiong Yan leading the way, the Blazing Flame Sect disciples carved a path of blood through the demon horde.

But they were rapidly exhausting their stamina and inner strength.

They had broken through, but now the demon horde was chasing after them!

"Chen Guan, you've been to Tushan before. Do you know where the Great Demon of Tushan is hiding now?"

Mu Yuan turned to ask.

Chen Guan hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "To the southeast, there's a cave. The Great Demon of Tushan is hiding inside it!"

"Good. Let's hurry over! We have to deal with the Great Demon of Tushan quickly if we want to leave this place safely!"

Mu Yuan nodded, then led everyone toward the southeast.

They moved so quickly that they soon left the demons behind.

But before they could reach the cave, the demons surrounded them once more.

"Lord Mu, the Great Demon of Tushan constantly watches over Tushan. Nothing escapes his notice. I suspect he already knows what we're doing!"

Chen Guan's words shocked everyone present.

If that was true, the number of demons waiting for them ahead would be beyond counting!

"They're just a rabble! We keep pushing forward!"

Xiong Yan gave a haughty sneer and charged ahead once more with the Blazing Flame Sect disciples.

Although Chen Guan knew what was going on, this situation still left him deeply puzzled.

The Great Demon of Tushan really was keeping watch over the entire mountain.

But it was as if all these demons had been arranged by the Great Demon of Tushan.

They hadn't even reached their destination, yet the demons were already waiting for them there.

It was as though their movements had been exposed long ago.

But he had no time to think it through now.

He swung his fists, preparing to face the demons around him!

And just as everyone was on edge.

A black figure dressed in a ninja outfit suddenly appeared beside Xiong Yan.

The dagger in his hand stabbed fiercely toward Xiong Yan's waist!

"Elder Xiong, watch out!"

When the Blazing Flame Sect disciples saw what was happening, their eyes nearly split with rage as they roared.

Xiong Yan noticed the ambush at once and turned to dodge the dagger.

Then he slammed a fist into the attacker's shoulder.

The attacker couldn't dodge in time. He was struck, spat out a mouthful of blood, and suffered severe injuries.

"You dare ambush our elder? Brothers, kill him!"

The Blazing Flame Sect disciples had all reacted by now, and they charged straight at the Black-Robed Man!

But the Black-Robed Man moved with graceful agility, using his lightness skill to reach Chen Guan.

Chen Guan had been watching the show. He caught sight of a pair of long, narrow eyes brimming with murderous intent, and then a cold dagger was pressed against his neck.

"Let him go!"

Mu Yuan could no longer stay silent.

But the other man said nothing. He grabbed Chen Guan and carried him away.
