The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

"Shen Jing and the other guy really did it."

"Yes, they're both amazing!"

"If those two hadn't subdued that monster, we would probably have been ours long ago."

"Yes, that Shen Jing is really something."

"Let's go and meet them!"

Zhao Zhigang and the others immediately quickened their pace and rushed to where Shen Jing and Qingyun were.

Although Shen Jing and Qingyun were exhausted, their faces radiated with the glow of victory.

The crowd cheered and praised their heroic act.

But Shen Jing waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.

And with a serious expression, he said, "Team Leader Zhao, you must immediately seal off this area and closely monitor this crack."

"We must ensure that any unusual activity is under control within 24 hours."

Zhao Zhigang accepted the order, "Yes!"

He quickly organized a team to set up a cordon and temporary observation posts to ensure that everything was operating normally.

Qingyun then turned to Shen Jing and said, "Second Brother, we don't know what dangers Eldest Brother might be in. Let's hurry over there."

Shen Jing nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhigang stopped the two of them, saying, "You've just been through a battle, you should rest for a bit."

But both Shen Jing and Qingyun shook their heads.

"Thank you for your kindness, Captain Zhao, but I'm worried about Jiang Chuan, so I have to go and check on him."

Shen Jing responded.

Qingyun nodded in agreement, "The sooner we get there, the safer our elder brother will be."

"Therefore, we must go as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhigang knew he couldn't persuade them otherwise, so he could only nod and say, "Then you must be extra careful!"

"Will do."

……

the other side.

Jiang Chuan arrived alone at the crack inside the cave he had visited before.

The cave remained as dark and damp as ever, with only an eerie red light flowing from the cracks.

He cautiously approached the crack, trying to find out what was inside.

Within the crack, bursts of demonic energy, seemingly tangible, were seeping outwards, floating in the air.

Just then, a deep and sinister voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the crack.

“Foolish human, you’ve finally arrived.”

These words contained a powerful demonic force, which was like a physical impact, causing Jiang Chuan to sway and almost fall to the ground.

He steadied himself, focused his attention, and kept his eagle eyes fixed on the crack.

"You actually managed to defeat Jiuying, you're not bad, kid."

"The demon race will avenge their humiliation and make you perish here!"

With this declaration filled with hatred, demonic power surged within the rift, instantly materializing.

A gigantic, terrifying-looking monster strode out from within!

This monster was three zhang tall, with a pair of curved and sharp bull horns standing on its head, and its body was surrounded by blazing red demonic energy, like a raging hellfire.

It wielded a giant axe taller than a person, its blade gleaming coldly, inspiring fear. Several human heads hung from the axe head, making it a horrifying sight.

Whenever it exhales scorching breath from its nostrils, the grass and trees on the ground instantly wither, and the temperature in the air rises sharply, as if one were in a furnace.

Jiang Chuan frowned upon seeing this.

"The Bull Demon King?"

Jiang Chuan muttered to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Bull Demon King snorted coldly, his rugged face twisted into a ferocious expression, and his eyes were like crimson lava, extremely vicious.

A monstrous demonic aura erupted from his body, instantly materializing into a raging crimson python.

With power strong enough to tear space apart, it charged straight at the unsuspecting Jiang Chuan.

"boom!"

The demonic energy crashed into Jiang Chuan like a torrent, instantly knocking him back several meters.

The ground beneath his feet cracked, and dust flew everywhere.

The sparks generated by the friction between the body and the ground left a blinding trail in the night.

Jiang Chuan felt a churning in his chest and a metallic taste rose in his throat. He forced down the blood in his throat.

He was secretly astonished: "So strong!"

The Bull Demon King did not stop after his successful attack; instead, he took advantage of the momentum and swung his giant axe.

Like a thunderbolt, carrying surging demonic energy, it slashed through the air towards Jiang Chuan, who had no time to catch his breath.

The giant axe drew a fiery arc in mid-air, like a meteor falling from the night sky, with astonishing force.

Wherever it went, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Jiang Chuan knew that a head-on confrontation was not a good strategy, but he also knew that he could not show weakness at this moment.

He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy surged wildly within his body.

He gripped the hilt of the Dragon Roar sword at his waist with his right hand and flicked his wrist.

In an instant, the sword hummed, and the golden sword light flickered, as if a golden dragon was coiled within it, ready to strike.

"Well done!"

Jiang Chuan roared and flashed forward, rushing towards the direction from which the giant axe was coming.

Just as the giant axe was about to strike, his Dragon Roar Sword was suddenly drawn from its sheath, its blade like a rainbow, piercing straight at the Bull Demon King's giant axe.

The two forces collided violently in mid-air, sparking a dazzling shower of sparks, and the deafening clang of metal echoed through the valley.

However, despite Jiang Chuan's best efforts, his counterattack seemed so pale and powerless in the face of such an absolute difference in strength.

The Bull Demon King sneered, his arm trembled slightly, and the power on his giant axe suddenly increased dramatically.

Jiang Chuan was instantly sent flying, sword and all, crashing heavily into a pile of rubble several meters away, coughing up blood.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Chuan struggled to his feet from the pile of rubble, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked resolutely at the Bull Demon King standing proudly not far away, but an indescribable sense of defeat welled up in his heart.

He never imagined that he would be driven into such a desperate situation by a monster.

Seeing this, the Bull Demon King curled a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, slowly walked towards the disheveled Jiang Chuan, and slowly raised the giant axe in his hand, as if enjoying the sight of his prey struggling in its death throes.

"Human, you do have some skill, managing to withstand one of my attacks."

His voice was low and cold, his words filled with contempt for Jiang Chuan.

"Unfortunately, with your meager skills, you dare to try to stop the rise of my demon race? You are far too presumptuous."

Jiang Chuan endured the excruciating pain, steadied himself with his sword, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

He knew that in this life-or-death situation, only by going all out could he perhaps have a glimmer of hope.

He stared intently at the approaching Bull Demon King and replied resolutely.

"The demon race wants to avenge their past humiliation, and I also want to protect the peace of the human race."

"Today, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will fight you to the very end!" "Ignorant!"

The Bull Demon King roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He raised his giant axe high once more, his demonic energy gathering on the axe blade to form a terrifying blood-red vortex that seemed poised to devour the heavens and earth.

He said sternly, "Since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish!"

"bring it on!"

Jiang Chuan roared, ignoring his injuries, and used all his remaining spiritual power to unleash the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand, which shone with dazzling golden light, like the dawn breaking and illuminating the dark valley.

He flashed and transformed into a golden meteor, rushing straight towards the menacing Bull Demon King.

A life-or-death battle is about to erupt!
Looking at Jiang Chuan's fearless figure, a hint of surprise flashed in the Bull Demon King's eyes, which then turned into an even stronger killing intent.

In a flash, Jiang Chuan activated Thunder Dragon Sky Soar.

"Thunder Dragon Soars to the Sky!"

The Dragon Roar Sword in his hand surged with golden lightning, instantly transforming into a ferocious thunder dragon that roared and swept towards the Bull Demon King.

The thunder dragon carried a devastating force, and wherever it passed, the air crackled and the earth trembled.

Upon seeing this, the Bull Demon King's eyes flashed with contempt. He swung his giant axe, and a thick, blood-red shield suddenly appeared on the axe's surface.

The moment the Thunder Dragon crashed into the crimson shield, the two collided violently, unleashing a deafening explosion.

Although the Thunder Dragon's impact was strong, it failed to shake the Bull Demon King's defense and eventually dissipated into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chuan unleashed the Wind Slash.

He spun around swiftly, the Dragon Roar Sword drawing an elegant yet deadly arc in the air.

Wherever the sword pointed, wind elements frantically condensed, transforming into an incomparably sharp hurricane sword aura, seemingly intent on cutting everything in sight into pieces.

The hurricane-force sword energy, carrying the power of thunder, rushed straight towards the Bull Demon King, determined to tear him apart.

However, the Bull Demon King had anticipated this. He remained unmoved, and instantly changed his move with his giant axe, unleashing a massive crescent-shaped blood-red slash.

"Blood Prison Soul-Severing Slash!"
The crimson crescent slash and the hurricane sword energy collided head-on, their forces intertwining and creating a chaotic energy storm.

However, Jiang Chuan's Wind Slash could not break through the Bull Demon King's Blood Prison Soul Severing Slash.

After a brief stalemate, it was overwhelmed by the latter and scattered in the air.

After his two attacks were easily neutralized, Jiang Chuan staggered back a few steps, his face growing paler.

He knew that in his current state, even if he tried his best, he would not be able to contend with the Bull Demon King.

The opponent's strength far exceeded his imagination, making him feel an unprecedented sense of despair.

The Bull Demon King looked at the disheveled Jiang Chuan and a cruel smile appeared on his lips. He took heavy steps and approached step by step.

"You mere mid-stage Xuan rank dare to be so insolent in front of me?"

He sneered, his giant axe gleaming with a bloodthirsty light in the moonlight, "I'm giving you one last chance. Kneel down and beg for mercy, and perhaps I can spare your life."

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a stubborn light. Despite the extremely unfavorable situation, he did not lose his fighting spirit.

On the contrary, their determination to fight to the death only grew stronger.

He straightened his body, stared at the Bull Demon King who was advancing step by step, and shouted with all his might, word by word: "Bull Demon King, you are wrong! I, Jiang Chuan, would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

"Foolishness!"

Enraged, the Bull Demon King laughed, raising his giant axe high above his head. Dense, blood-red demonic energy gathered on the axe blade, forming a blazing blood flame, as if foreshadowing his impending death.

He arrogantly declared, "Since you remain so stubborn, then let my 'Blood Prison Purgatory Slash' end your life once and for all!"

Faced with the Bull Demon King's all-out attack, Jiang Chuan closed his eyes and focused his mind, his remaining spiritual power surging wildly and gathering on the Dragon Roar Sword.

He understood that this was a final gamble that would determine life or death, and no matter the outcome, he would give it his all.

At the very least, he wanted to show the Bull Demon King the dignity and resilience of the human race!

"bring it on!"

Jiang Chuan let out a low roar, and the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand shone with a dazzling light, as if a star had fallen to earth.

He charged towards the Bull Demon King without hesitation, bracing himself for the impending devastating blow.

Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King's "Blood Prison Purgatory Slash" also descended, and the two forces were about to collide at this moment, triggering a battle that would shake the heavens and the earth.

"boom!"

A loud bang!
Jiang Chuan was sent flying backwards and crashed into a rocky cliff some distance away.

"Ha, too weak."

Jiang Chuan held on tenaciously, showing no sign of yielding.

Seeing that Jiang Chuan refused to yield even on the verge of death, the Bull Demon King smirked coldly.

He casually tossed the giant axe aside, letting it smash into the ground and kick up a cloud of dust.

Instead, there was a dark, rough iron rod with a dark red sheen.

The Bull Demon King gripped the end of his staff, gently stroking it, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty excitement.

"Hmph, a mere mid-stage Xuan rank, you dare to challenge me, the king?"

The Bull Demon King glanced at Jiang Chuan with disdain, "Since you insist on seeking death, I'll show you my true strength!"

The iron rod spun once in his hand, and an even wilder and deeper demonic aura instantly spread out, making people's hearts tremble.

The Bull Demon King took a step forward, his staff flashing and seemingly causing the entire space to tremble, as it swept towards Jiang Chuan.

At the critical moment, Jiang Chuan activated all his spiritual power. He closed his eyes slightly, and instantly, faint starlight surrounded him.

Upon seeing this, the Bull Demon King hesitated for a moment, but still swung down fiercely!

Jiang Chuan was in the third state of Flow, his body shimmering with starlight, and the Dragon Roar Sword was now flowing with faint star power, each swing of which seemed to guide the trajectory of the stars.

However, faced with the fierce attack of the Bull Demon King wielding the Iron Cudgel, he could only try his best to defend himself. Each collision felt like a mountain crashing down, shaking his internal organs violently.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, a sense of unprecedented pressure rising deep within him.

He tried to use his speed and power advantage in the third state of flow to find the Bull Demon King's weakness, but the opponent's staff technique was unpredictable, combining offense and defense, and was almost impenetrable.

"Is this your full strength?"

The Bull Demon King brandished his iron cudgel while sneering, "Looks like you're nothing special after all!"

"I haven't lost yet!"

Jiang Chuan roared in response, his eyes remaining resolute despite the immense pressure on his body.

He forcefully steadied himself, and with the Dragon Roar Sword enveloped in the power of the stars, he forcefully blocked the Bull Demon King's fierce attack.

"Ha, so stubborn!"

The Bull Demon King sneered, and his Iron Cudgel suddenly accelerated, coiling around Jiang Chuan like a venomous snake, aiming straight for his vital points.

Jiang Chuan was forced to retreat repeatedly, the rocks beneath his feet crumbled, and his situation became increasingly difficult.

"Give up, you can't possibly be my match."

The Bull Demon King's voice was like that of someone from the abyss, full of intimidation: "If you submit now, you may still be spared your life."

"Don't think about it!"

Jiang Chuan roared, took a deep breath, and mobilized the remaining spiritual power in his body, preparing to make a desperate gamble.

However, at that moment, the Bull Demon King's iron cudgel was already upon them, carrying immense power capable of crushing everything, and hurtling straight towards them.

"Break it for me!"

Jiang Chuan roared, and the power of stars on the Dragon Roar Sword instantly erupted, forming a dazzling starry sword curtain that collided head-on with the Bull Demon King's Iron Cudgel.

Boom—(End of Chapter)
