Puff!
The bloody four-part corpse fell to the ground, with red and green viscera spilling out.
The six knights besieging Wang Chen were all stunned.
Who Wang Chen had just slain was not an ordinary person, but the renowned Zhang Daozi Zhang Master of Baiyun Temple, soone who could stand on equal terms with the Prefect!
Zhang Daozi had profound mana, serving as Baiyun Temple’s plenipotentiary representative and the main force against the Drought Demon this ti.
Without this master’s assistance, the losses incurred by the experts in the siege of the Drought Demon would have been much greater!
Yet, such a land-immortal-like existence was killed by Wang Chen with a single blade?
They could hardly believe their eyes.
At this mont, Wang Chen had already landed steadily on the ground, his hands gripping the blade as he swept it towards the knight on the right, instantly splashing a cold gleam.
The knight was terrified, instinctively wanting to retreat and dodge, but his mount had no ti to react and was instantly decapitated by the blade.
This knight on horseback did not escape either, being sliced open at the waist by the blade.
"Ah!"
The miserable scream awakened the other five knights from a dream, and upon realizing what had happened, their eyes turned blood red as they roared and swung their war sabers, intending to slash Wang Chen into mince.
As Zhang Daozi’s guards, their task was to escort the master safely into Qing’an County with the Drought Demon in tow.
Now, with Zhang Daozi’s tragic death and the mission a complete failure, they were undoubtedly to bla and would face severe punishnt upon return.
To redeem themselves, they had no choice but to bring back the head of the killer.
However, facing the siege of five elite Iron Cavalry, Wang Chen stood his ground, not retreating or dodging, swinging his blade to unleash a barrage of blade lights, ruthlessly slaughtering the onrushing enemies.
The shrieks of warhorses, the roars and screams of knights, and the tearing sound of blades slicing through flesh and blood intertwined, carried far and wide by the wind.
The surrounding air beca scorching hot!
But such sounds soon vanished, as the five elite Iron Cavalry, like moths to the fla, were wiped out in the blink of an eye under Wang Chen’s blade.
Only a field of corpses and blood remained.
Having just won this ambush battle, Wang Chen felt no joy, but rather his expression turned somber.
Because he felt a vibration coming from the ground.
At first, the tremor was small and weak, but soon it grew larger and stronger, as if sothing massive was rushing from underground towards this direction.
The most disquieting thing was that the surrounding temperature was rising rapidly, and even the blood on the ground started to emit wisps of steam, with many dry leaves spontaneously combusting.
Drought Demon!
Wang Chen realized sharply, his keen intuition telling him that this cataclysmic fierce beast was charging right at him.
The purpose of Zhang Daozi and the six knights from Baiyun Temple was evident, trying to lure the Drought Demon into Qing’an County, clearly carrying sothing that could induce the beast.
Now, it had indeed been drawn over!
Wang Chen took a deep breath, his dark eyes flashing with a divine light.
The Drought Demon, in the mortal world, was a legendary and powerful entity, a fierce beast that mortals could not contend with!
If Wang Chen were to lift the seal and restore even a fraction of his cultivation level, dealing with this Drought Demon would be a breeze.
However, if he did that, this round of Mortal Heart Refinent would be conclusively deed a failure.
There’d be no aning to it.
So what Wang Chen needed to do now was to use mortal strength to face the Drought Demon head-on!
In an instant, a surge of Innate True Qi rose from the Dantian, flowing through his limbs and bones in a flash, and the blade in his grip seed to sense its owner’s battle intent, vibrating with a sudden tallic sound.
At the sa ti, Wang Chen’s mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and Heavenly Gate all simultaneously opened, with his perception capability dramatically enhanced.
He seed to "see" beneath his feet, a nacing fierce beast breaking through the ground.
"Kill!"
In the next mont, Wang Chen fiercely exhaled, his whole body leaping high, swinging the blade in a full circle before driving it heavily into the ground.
This blade, imbued with Innate True Qi, silently and unseen, pierced into the cracked soil until the blade disappeared.
Boom!
With a deafening explosive sound, the ground where the blade pierced suddenly blasted open, spraying countless soil and stones as a crimson fierce beast burst forth.
Wang Chen leaped backwards several ters, landing on the ground.
In front of him appeared a monster shaped like a Giant Ape, its fur like burning flas, its crimson eyes full of bloodthirsty violence, with two long fangs sharp as blades.
Roar～
The fierce beast, over a ter tall, opened its bloodthirsty maw, roaring angrily at Wang Chen as countless black and red embers spewed from its mouth.
Even from several ters away, Wang Chen could still feel a scorching airflow rushing towards him.
The clothes on his body seed on the verge of igniting.
Without any unnecessary words, Wang Chen raised his blade and charged forward.
The Drought Demon did not expect that the "little thing" in front of it would dare to attack itself, imdiately opening its arms as its ten sharp claws extended, waving them to et Wang Chen.
It intended to tear apart this enemy that dared to offend it!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, Wang Chen’s blade clashed countless tis with the Drought Demon’s claws, sparking innurable sparks.
Their battle reached a fever pitch right from the start.
Seeing his frontal assault proved ineffective, unable to breach the Drought Demon’s defense, Wang Chen swiftly withdrew his blade and maneuvered, stepping into suprely agile footwork as he circled to the flank and rear of the fierce beast.
Every creature born of nature has weaknesses, though so are deeply hidden, difficult to detect or attack.
The Drought Demon’s fur seed soft, but in reality, each strand was hard as steel, forming an incredibly sturdy defense that even Wang Chen’s blade struggled to penetrate.
Furthermore, its claws were extrely sharp and brief clashes had already left nurous scratches on Wang Chen’s blade.
If this hard clash continued, this ticulously forged weapon would surely fail!
So Wang Chen opted to avoid its edge, seeking its critical weak points.
With Wang Chen’s tactical shift, the Drought Demon mistook it as an attempt to escape and imdiately roared in pursuit.
This cataclysmic fierce beast no longer desired to tear Wang Chen apart—it wanted to swallow this enemy whole!
Thus, on the parched earth, the battle between man and beast entered a stalemate.
Wang Chen continually changed positions, repeatedly dodging the Drought Demon’s counterattacks, seizing opportunities to slash, hack, chop, or stab, probing this fierce beast’s defenses one strike at a ti.
After dozens of rounds, unable to take down Wang Chen, the Drought Demon grew increasingly infuriated and anxious!
