Unstoppable

Ding Chen stood at the front, staring at Wang Yan, a bad feeling stirring within him.

He couldn't help but say, "Wang Yan, stop!"

Wang Yan was in the middle of a satisfying fight. Hearing Ding Chen's shout, he couldn't help but retract his fist and roll off Zhao Tong.

"I haven't had enough!" Wang Yan declared.

Liao Zipeng sneered, "Don't rush. Soon, I'll let you have a good fight!"

Wang Yan was naturally pleased to hear this.

Before he could return to the ranks, Liao Zipeng stared at Ding Chen and said coldly, "Since you're so good at fighting, if Black Wind Valley isn't held for a day, I'll hold you personally responsible!"

Black Wind Valley?

Ding Chen frowned slightly. He didn't know where Black Wind Valley was and asked, "Lord Liao, what's the strength of these demons?"

Liao Zipeng said coldly, "According to scout reports, the strongest are at Lesser Demon Perfection, a total of five hundred demons. Holding them off for one day will be a meritorious deed!"

Chen Xian frowned. A hundred people against five hundred demons, he wasn't afraid, but others would definitely suffer casualties, and the sacrifices would be immense.

After all, he didn't have the strength to kill five hundred demons with a single strike.

"Five hundred?"

Ding Chen's face instantly darkened.

Wang Yan and the others also looked extremely grim.

Liao Zipeng snorted, "Ding Chen, are you not accepting the order?"

Ding Chen, his face pale, gritted his teeth and took the military token from Liao Zipeng's hand, saying in a deep voice, "This subordinate will definitely hold Black Wind Valley!"

"I hope so!"

Liao Zipeng said coldly, "Leave the military camp and head west of Wumeng Mountain. Walk for thirty-seven li, and you'll find a canyon. That canyon is Black Wind Valley. Go!"

"Yes!"

Ding Chen nodded indifferently, then turned to order Chen Xian and the others to mount their horses.

Although they were all old horses, they had been fed with Demonic Beast meat these past few days, and the old horses looked much more spirited.

Everyone sat upright, their old horses' backs not bending at all.

Liao Zipeng frowned slightly. He remembered giving Ding Chen a hundred old horses, yet these old horses looked quite spirited!

"Depart!"

Ding Chen wasted no words, waved his hand, and rode out.

The group followed closely behind.

Thump thump thump...

The hundred horses galloped, and as they passed the Head Chef Army's camp, the soldiers there pointed and laughed heartily.

"A bunch of losers going to their deaths!"

"Is it that easy to achieve merit and establish a career?"

As they passed the Cooks' Camp, the cooks playing dice also burst into mocking laughter.

For cooks to clean up battlefields, if they encountered demons that weren't completely dead, it would be difficult to survive.

Let alone directly engaging demons in frontal combat.

They would die even faster!

As they passed the front army camp, the soldiers who hadn't been deployed to the battlefield let out muffled chuckles.

However, everyone just shook their heads speechlessly and said nothing.

After all, people died on the battlefield every day; what was a hundred more deaths worth?

"Another hundred heads rolling!"

The guards at the camp entrance watched the hundred figures of Ding Chen's group charge past and shook their heads speechlessly.

Chen Xian and the others followed Liao Zipeng's instructions, arriving west of Wumeng Mountain and continuing west for thirty-seven li. They indeed saw a canyon shrouded in rolling black mist.

"That must be Black Wind Valley!" Ding Chen said with a furrowed brow.

Wumeng Mountain was relatively high, and its offshoots were also extensive.

The demon army knew that crossing mountains and ridges was strenuous, so they preferred to take easier routes.

Although Black Wind Valley couldn't be used to traverse Wumeng Mountain, the demon army could use it to bypass Wumeng Mountain and launch a surprise attack on the Ninth Demon Suppression Army more easily.

Thump thump thump...!

Before they even reached Black Wind Valley, Chen Xian could hear the rumbling sound emanating from its exit.

A moment later, a fierce wind swept towards them.

Everyone also heard the commotion, and the foul stench from the demons was carried in the wind.

Ding Chen froze for a moment, then shouted, "Quick, block them!"

Immediately, everyone shouted and charged towards the exit of Black Wind Valley. From a hundred meters away, they saw Thunder Patterned Leopards and Wolf Demons roaring and charging at them, a total of two hundred demons.

Chen Xian, riding his horse, was faster. He galloped past Ding Chen, holding his long spear and charging towards the demons.

Pfft!

He rode past, thrusting his spear at a Thunder Patterned Leopard. Just as the leopard raised its paw, Chen Xian pierced it with his spear, sending it flying and knocking over the demons behind it.

[Sacrificed the soul of a Lesser Demon, gained 113 experience points]

The panel flashed before his eyes, and Chen Xian became excited, swinging his spear and slaughtering them.

[Sacrificed the soul of a Lesser Demon, gained 125 experience points]

[Sacrificed the soul of a Lesser Demon, gained 119 experience points]

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xian had killed three Lesser Demons.

Ding Chen and the others were shocked, and the demons were also surprised.

"A cook? So strong?" a Wolf Demon was very surprised. Chen Xian and the others' armor was different from the Demon Slayer Soldiers' armor. Judging by the material of their clothes, they were clearly from the Cooks' Camp.

Pfft, pfft...

Chen Xian was like a demon harvester, moving incredibly fast. As he weaved through them, more than ten demons died under his spear.

He was covered in the demons' blood.

Among the two hundred demons, there was clearly a leader, a Thunder Patterned Leopard, with a massive build, nearly three meters tall.

Seeing Chen Xian's aura, with primal energy swirling around his spear, it was also terrified. It roared, "Retreat!"

Hearing the command to retreat, the demons, without even engaging Ding Chen and the others, began to withdraw back into Black Wind Valley.

Chen Xian snorted coldly, leaped forward fifty meters, and charged towards the Thunder Patterned Leopard.

Reaching the introductory stage of the Jade Sea Realm felt truly amazing.

A single leap covered fifty meters, almost like flying.

Roar!

The Thunder Patterned Leopard had just turned around when it found Chen Xian pursuing it. It roared and pounced at Chen Xian.

However, Chen Xian thrust his spear forward. Dark golden flames swirled around the spear. The spear shot out like a dragon, carrying the sound of the Ox Demon's Roar as it broke through the air.

Boom! He pierced the Thunder Patterned Leopard's chest and sent it flying dozens of meters away. It slammed into the stone wall at the entrance of Black Wind Valley, causing debris to tumble down.

The hundreds of demons were all filled with terror!

Even Ding Chen and his hundred men were filled with shock. Was this the strength of the Surging Origin Realm?

Everyone realized that they were needed.

Chen Xian alone was holding back the Black Wind Valley.

With the Thunder Patterned Leopard dead, the hundreds of demons immediately descended into chaos. Some fled into Black Wind Valley, while others charged at Ding Chen and his men.

"Kill!"

Ding Chen reacted, raising his long spear and shouting.

In an instant, everyone's blood boiled, and they charged towards the horde of demons.

Chen Xian, meanwhile, pursued into Black Wind Valley, killing the fleeing demons. With every thrust of his spear, a demon was pierced and killed.

Demon blood splattered everywhere.

Driven by Chen Xian, Ding Chen and the others also fought with incredible bravery.

In less than fifteen minutes, they had annihilated over a hundred demons.

The remaining dozens were not stopped and escaped into Black Wind Valley.

Chen Xian did not pursue them. He turned back, found his old horse, and arrived at the entrance of Black Wind Valley.

The battle just now had been incredibly fierce, and he was drenched in sweat.

However, he realized that the primal energy in his Jade Sea had been depleted by ninety percent, leaving less than ten percent.

Primal energy was a good thing; it had a great restraining effect on demons, but his current amount was too little. Killing dozens of Lesser Demons had already made him a bit strained.

Of course, even without primal energy, he could still rely on his blood energy and physical strength.

"Xianzi, you were amazing in that battle!"

Wang Yan saw Chen Xian riding his horse towards them and couldn't help but tease him with a smile.

Ding Chen's lips also curved upwards. "It seems I underestimated your strength!"

Chen Xian just smiled and inwardly summoned his panel, his gaze falling on the experience points column.
