Being Tricked

Are there demons?

Everyone was startled. Hadn't the Demon Slayer Soldiers finished killing them all?

Ding Chen's face changed drastically. He believed Chen Xian and asked, "How many?"

"Five, six..."

"What?"

Wang Yan, Qin Fei, and the others' faces changed drastically.

"Eight... twelve..."

Chen Xian's face also changed greatly, and he shouted, "Brother Ding, twelve!"

"Run!"

Ding Chen gave the order without a second word.

If it were one or two, with his and Wang Yan's current strength, plus Chen Xian's late-stage Blood Moving Realm, they could still kill them.

Twelve demons, he wouldn't even consider it. On average, each person would have to face one demon, which was suicide for them.

Ding Chen thought of something in an instant, his eyes filled with cold killing intent: "Damn it!"

Everyone immediately abandoned the demonic beast corpses and fled towards the outside of the valley.

However, after fleeing only a hundred meters, roars echoed from the valley, followed by the earth shaking.

"Damn it, we're finished...!"

Wang Yan yelled angrily as he fled, "Old Zhao deliberately sent us to die...!"

No one responded. They desperately fled out of the valley.

A cold light flashed in Ding Chen's eyes. Zhao Tong was only the Chief Medic and didn't have that much guts. He must have been following orders from above.

Roar, roar, roar...

The roars of the demonic beasts behind them rapidly approached.

Chen Xian and the other seven were fast, but the other seven cooks couldn't keep up. In a moment, they were caught up by the twelve demons.

Ding Chen gritted his teeth. As the Minor Cook Leader, he couldn't just abandon his subordinates and save himself.

Seeing the seven people surrounded, one of them was killed as soon as he engaged a demon.

"You guys run, Chen Xian and I will go save them!" Ding Chen shouted at Wang Yan and the other six.

Chen Xian's face tightened. As he fled, he looked back. There were at least three demons with the same strength as the tiger demon from last time. The other nine demons were slightly weaker, but they were all at the Lesser Demon realm.

The Demon Slayer Soldiers deliberately left behind twelve Lesser Demon-level demons, clearly intending to kill them.

Chen Xian couldn't quite understand. They were just cooks who usually cooked for the front army. They hadn't offended anyone, so why would they want to kill them? What had they done wrong?

Seeing that Ding Chen had already rushed back, Chen Xian gritted his teeth and also charged back with his saber to save them.

Seeing this, Wang Yan and the other six couldn't truly escape. With a final bite of their teeth, they all killed their way back.

"Ah!"

A scream tore through the night sky. Another cook was killed by a demon, flesh and blood flying.

Chen Xian clenched his saber hilt and roared, slashing at a mighty wolf demon.

The wolf demon sneered, "Hmph, lowly humans, only know how to roar...!"

Puchi!

However, as soon as it raised its thick wolf claw, the next moment, a cold light flashed. Its wolf claw was severed before it could touch Chen Xian, and blood spurted out wildly.

"Aoo...!"

The scream was deafening. The wolf demon looked horrified and retreated repeatedly.

Chen Xian's gaze was sharp. He pressed forward, his saber flashing as he slashed towards the wolf demon's neck.

Hearing the scream, the other wolf demons also showed surprise and looked towards Chen Xian.

At this moment, Ding Chen, Wang Yan, and the others were slashing wildly with their sabers.

However, the wolf demon's physical body was strong. Chen Xian could sever the wolf demon's arm with one saber, but they couldn't. Only Ding Chen, who was at the minor success stage of the Blood Moving Realm, could still injure the wolf demon.

Wang Yan and the other six were at the introductory stage of Blood Moving. Facing wolf demons at the Lesser Demon level, they were still no match.

Puchi!

When Chen Xian severed the wolf demon's neck with a saber, four of the trapped cooks had already died.

A line of text appeared on the panel before him.

Chen Xian paid it no mind and immediately charged at the second Wolf Demon.

Roar!

However, the two mighty Wolf Demons charged at Chen Xian together, attacking him from both front and back.

Ding Chen and the other seven blocked seven Demons.

Two more Demons ferociously attacked the remaining three cooks. One of them had his arm torn off by a Wolf Demon, bleeding profusely.

Hearing the cook's piercing screams, Ding Chen and the other seven's eyes turned bloodshot. Even though they were spat out by the Wolf Demons and knocked down, they got back up and continued to hack at the Wolf Demons.

"Damn it, let's fight these beasts to the death...!" Wang Yan roared, looking like he had gone mad.

Chen Xian was fending off two powerful Wolf Demons. Seeing that the cook whose arm had been torn off was about to be killed by a Lesser Wolf Demon, he suddenly threw his long saber and rushed over at full speed.

Pfft!

The long saber, wreathed in bloody light, pierced the Wolf Demon from behind in an instant.

[Sacrificed the soul of a Lesser Demon, gained 105 experience points]

Chen Xian grabbed the saber hilt with one hand, kicked the demon wolf away with the other, and turned to hack at the two charging powerful Wolf Demons.

At this moment, two more screams echoed.

Chen Xian's heart sank. He could save one person, but not the other two.

Facing the two powerful Wolf Demons, he dared not be careless.

Slash, slash...

His saber strikes landed on the Wolf Demons' bodies, drawing streams of blood. The two Wolf Demons madly counter-attacked Chen Xian.

Meanwhile, Wang Yan, Qin Fei, and the others were sent flying by the Wolf Demons, spitting blood.

Ding Chen was slightly better off, but blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Besides his armor, his arms and thighs bore bloody marks, and blood was still flowing.

"Xianzi, if I die in battle, remember to visit my mother and brother for me!" Wang Yan shouted hoarsely. Chen Xian was the only one in the arena who was not injured and was the strongest, so he was sure to survive.

"Stop the nonsense and all of you live!" Chen Xian roared. He fully activated his forty-six acupoints, his strength surging. He swung his saber at the neck of one of the Wolf Demons, severing its head.

Blood splattered all over his face, but the other Wolf Demon's claws also landed on him, sending him flying.

[Sacrificed the soul of a Lesser Demon, gained 193 experience points]

Chen Xian, who had been sent rolling, used the momentum to charge towards Wang Yan.

The Wolf Demon Wang Yan was dealing with was also very powerful. Chen Xian rushed past and accurately chopped at the Wolf Demon's neck with his long saber.

Sizzle, sizzle...

The Wolf Demon's head flew off, and hot blood splattered all over Wang Yan's face.

Wang Yan used his saber to prop himself up, breathing heavily. He looked at Chen Xian, who was rapidly moving away again, his gaze incredibly determined.

If he could survive this, he was determined to cultivate diligently.

The screams of the Wolf Demons, the cries of the cooks and Qin Fei, and others intertwined.

Chen Xian kept moving, avoiding the strongest Wolf Demons while prioritizing the elimination of the weaker ones.

The panel flickered incessantly. In the blink of an eye, only three Wolf Demons remained on the battlefield.

However, only Chen Xian and the eight others were still alive. All seven cooks had already died.

It was a truly brutal scene.

Cao Fang and Zhao Yu were also in a terrible state, lying on the ground with blood constantly flowing from their mouths, unable to stand.

Wang Yan, Qin Fei, and the others rushed over and, regardless of whether the Body Refinement Pills were useful, stuffed them into their mouths.

"Yan Ge, that's a waste!"

Cao Fang gave a bitter smile, his teeth covered in blood.

"Stop the nonsense and absorb it quickly!" Wang Yan roared.

Roar!

Another scream echoed.

Chen Xian helped Xue Qishan kill a Wolf Demon.

There were only two Wolf Demons left. Ding Chen was holding one off, while the other was the one that had been chasing Chen Xian.

"Let's go together!" Ding Chen shouted.

Wang Yan and the other four drew their sabers and charged forward.

Chen Xian felt a slight release of tension and turned, his eyes coldly fixed on the pursuing Wolf Demon.

"Beast, die!"

His long saber, entwined with powerful bloody energy, ignited into flames. He fiercely slashed towards the Wolf Demon.
