(Request for Monthly Ticket) “You’re not hurt, are you?” “Young brother!” Drip-dropping water from his straw raincoat, his slanted bamboo hat, lips red as if painted, eyes black as lacquer, his face as exquisite as sculpted jade, bearing a natural and outspoken demeanor, clad in an indigo cross-collared robe, one hand holding a treasured sword, the other extended. The direction of the extended hand was toward Chen Yuan! Chen Yuan didn’t know how to describe the situation at the moment, only feeling that this desolate temple was like a fixed instance, with more and more people getting involved. After a long silence, he thought about it and still reached out his hand to grasp the other’s. Such an astonishing character making an entrance, if he did not cooperate, wouldn’t it diminish the brilliance? He got up casually and cupped his fist in gratitude, “Thank you, brother!” “You’re welcome!” The man thought Chen Yuan was startled, which caused the delay, and did not take it to heart. At that moment, a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe, accompanied by his daughter, came forward to thank the man: “Thank you for your heroic rescue, may I ask for your distinguished name and surname?” The man’s voice was clear and powerful: “I do not change my name, nor my surname, I am Yan Shisan from Kunyou Mountain.” The middle-aged man seemed familiar with the name, “Western Shu Thirteen Swords, Hero Yan?” “I dare not accept such praise!” That seemed like an acknowledgment. The middle-aged man’s expression immediately turned solemn, and he gave another bow, “I am Zhao Zhiyan, from Anning, often hearing about Hero Yan’s deeds.” Speaking of which, he looked to the side, “This is my daughter, Yun Luo, Luo’er, hurry up and greet Hero Yan. Hero Yan, well-known for aiding those in peril and eliminating demons, you must have heard of him as well.” “Indeed!” Zhao Yunluo nodded slightly, gracefully bowed, and spoke softly, “This young lady has seen Hero Yan.” “The two of you flatter me too much; these are but empty reputations gained from wandering the worldly society. Why are you lodging in this desolate temple? Where are you heading?” Yan Shisan’s gaze lingered on Zhao Yunluo’s face for a while before discreetly shifting away to inquire. “We heard about an incident, my daughter and I were returning to Jingguan City to visit relatives,...” Middle-aged man Zhao Zhiyan was speaking but was interrupted by another voice, “Uncle Zhao is really straightforward, as soon as he’s asked, everything pours out. I’m afraid that soon, even matters of the Yun family will spill out too.” A man in black, with two injured martial masters under his command, was now approaching with a grim expression. As he spoke, his gaze settled on Yan Shisan and the huge demon corpse behind him, “Hero Yan has marvelous divine powers, I am grateful for saving my cousin’s family.” Saying this, he gave a somewhat perfunctory bow. But while speaking, there was a hint of animosity. Firstly, his own people had lost face, and secondly, he always felt uneasy when confronting this hero’s words, expressions, and especially that overtly righteous face. However, considering that the hero was a high-level Profound Body Realm expert, even if he was ignorant, he wouldn’t foolishly provoke him. Proper manners still had to be maintained. Yan Shisan remained composed and smiled, “No worries, by chance, I am also heading to Jingguan City. From what I’ve heard just now, it seems you are all aware of the urgent news from the frontline. As a Martial Arts Practitioner, in times of crisis, I plan to join the Mountain-cutting Army and proceed to the frontline to eliminate demons!” As he spoke, Yan Shisan’s expression became increasingly righteous. Such demeanor, coupled with his upright aura, even made the maidservant behind the young lady’s eyes dazzle with admiration. “Oh? I did not expect Hero Yan would want to join the Mountain-cutting Army, admirable, indeed. One of my elder brothers serves as a Leading Military Officer in the Ninth Mountain of the Mountain-cutting Army, but I heard the fighting has been fierce, and the Ninth Mountain has nearly perished, even the Colonels are said to have died. Our ranks surely lack a valiant person like Hero Yan, should I make an introduction?” “That would be apt, thanks for your assistance this time, Hero Yan!” Yun Zhuosheng said upon recalling something, although from his tone, it was hard to tell if his words were sincere or pretentious. Meanwhile, Chen Yuan, who had been overhearing from the sidelines, felt his eyes gleam upon hearing this. Jingguan City, the Yun Family, the Ninth Mountain, a Yun surname as a Leading Military Officer? He recalled one of his subordinates was called Yun Tiansheng! Could it be such a coincidence? However, he found the conversation between the two quite amusing, each harboring their own schemes, talking nonsense. Earlier, that Perfect Qi Cultivation Leopard Demon used its True Meaning of Divine Power, didn’t they find it odd? Still idle chatting? From his experience in slaying demons, it indicated that there was someone “above” this Leopard Demon. Thinking this, he slightly tilted his head, with specks of golden light flickering in his eyes, looking toward the Leopard Demon’s last known direction. At this moment, Yan Shisan turned down Yun Zhuosheng’s offer and grasped the tip of the iceberg, sighed, then his eyes shone even brighter, “The situation is so perilous, we as Martial Arts Practitioners, must exert our utmost.” “Hero Yan, such a spirit! Let’s hope your wishes fulfilled,” Yun Zhuosheng said with a half-smile. Just then, A voice eerily floated over, interrupting the two. “Didn’t you hear that sound?” As soon as he spoke, everyone’s gaze fell on Chen Yuan, who stood with his back to them, facing left, somewhat surprised. This man had not spoken, so everyone had always overlooked his presence. However, as soon as the speech ceased, the broken temple became silent, leaving only the sound of wind and rain in the world. From the left direction, a kind of roaring sound faintly came, carrying a powerful aura towards the broken temple, surging violently. Not just one, but two! The first to react was Yan Shisan, his expression turned stern, “Hurry up, there are two Profound Body Demons coming from the left. I will hold them off.” Saying this, the precious sword in his hand unsheathed, and suddenly the Sword Qi surged, splitting the sword shadows, shooting fiercely towards the left. And he stomped beneath his feet, rushing into the pitch-black rain curtain riding on the sword light. Back in the temple, hearing this, Yun Zhuosheng, who had just been smiling, had his expression frozen in place. Two Profound Body Demons? Immediately, his face changed drastically, and he shouted to the Zhao family father and daughter, “Run!” The faces of the Zhao family father and daughter finally turned pale, what the Profound Body Demons represented was naturally clear. The group panicked, hurriedly boarded the carriage, and whipped the horses. “Wait, that young master hasn’t gotten on yet!” Despite her panic, Zhao Yunluo hadn’t lost her calm and noticed Chen Yuan in the temple who hadn’t moved, calling out. “What are you thinking about an outsider at such a time?” Yun Huosheng spoke irritably and with a wave of his hands, cast a spell onto the horses, causing the carriages to shimmer with a light glow. The carriages whirled up a gust, and then he whipped the horses, which neighed loudly as they quickly headed towards the right. At this moment, in the storm-infused broken temple, only Chen Yuan remained. He didn’t seem to care at all about the people who hadn’t taken him, his eyes shimmering with broken gold, still watching the mountain forest under the left rain curtain. In the flowing light of his Dharma Eye, about seven or eight miles away, two demon beasts with humanoid bodies and leopard faces, four zhang tall, were rushing wildly towards them. “Who killed my son!” A sharp and extremely angry roar shook through the forest’s rain curtain. It turned out that the leopard earlier killed by Yan Shisan was the cub of the two Profound Body Leopard Demons. While originally riding on the sword light, dashing impressively and entering the rain curtain, Yan Shisan soon made a turn and headed towards the direction of the Zhao family. Thus, the two Profound Body Leopard Demons followed, descending upon the broken temple. “Boom” “Boom” Two gigantic shadows, filled with oppressive aura, landed in front of the temple, causing the ground to tremble. Four dim green lights broke through the rain curtain, looking down from the broken temple roof, they saw the split remains of the leopard body inside the temple, immediately, the green lights turned incredibly fierce. Then they suddenly moved upwards, spotting a figure standing in front of the Taoist platform, letting out an ear-piercing screech! “Was it you who killed my son?” “I will tear you into ten thousand pieces.” Saying this, two gigantic beast paws smashed the broken temple, striking directly where Chen Yuan stood. Dust and smoke rose suddenly. Yet the next second, golden light shone brightly. A golden giant, from the disbelieving to horrified eyes of the two leopard demons, rose from the ruins against the wind. The about ten zhang tall fierce giant looked down upon the two demons like dwarfs, and then suddenly clapped both hands. “Boom” The two Profound Body Demons let out a terrified screech and then exploded into a mist of blood. Before their death, a thought echoed through the minds of the two demons— Who really is the demon?
