Chapter 248 Killing a King-Level Demon, Having Someone Back Me Is So Satisfying! (5K)

"Why is this guy going to more and more remote places?"

After a long chase, the Green Fox King discovered that Su Chen had not run towards the crowd, but had instead ventured deep into the dense forest.

This unusual situation caused him to slow down.

"There must be an ambush ahead; this person is trying to lure me there." The Green Fox King's mind raced. "If I relentlessly pursue him, wouldn't I fall into their trap?"

His eyes darted around, and he stopped in his tracks, deciding not to continue tracking Su Chen.

Instead, he concealed his presence, hiding in the shadows, his fox-like eyes fixed on Su Chen's figure.

In his view, since Su Chen wanted to lure the enemy deep into his territory, he would certainly not leave easily.

If he doesn't follow, she might stop and wait for him, or turn back to check on him.

Once Su Chen returns, it will be exactly what he wants. At that time, he will strike again and kill Su Chen in one blow, thus completing his mission.

To his astonishment, Su Chen seemed not to have noticed him stop, and his figure quickly disappeared from sight.

"Damn it!" The Green Fox King gritted his teeth and had no choice but to reappear and chase after them.

However, he soon noticed that Su Chen's speed was gradually slowing down, which made him happy. He quickly held his breath and concealed his figure.

Under his gaze, Su Chen stopped and looked back, searching for his own figure.

"They really came back... Huh? They ran away again, damn it?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Green Fox King saw Su Chen turn around without looking back and disappear more than a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

He was stunned for a moment, and was about to show himself and give chase when he suddenly noticed the primordial spirit power that Su Chen was emanating from.

"No, he's bluffing me."

Sure enough, not long after, Su Chen stopped again and looked back.

After pausing for a moment, Su Chen continued forward, stopping and looking back several times, but the Azure Fox King simply watched quietly without showing itself.

Su Chen's actions further confirmed his suspicions: there must be an ambush ahead, otherwise the other party wouldn't be so cautious.

Therefore, he doesn't need to act rashly at the moment. He only needs to wait for Su Chen to return, and then deliver a fatal blow.

"Heh, trying to trick me again!"

Seeing Su Chen disappear from sight, the Azure Fox King sneered, deliberately waited a few moments, and then stealthily moved forward.

"Well, where are the people?"

However, after walking for a while, there was nothing ahead and no sign of Su Chen.

"Oh no, I've been tricked."

The Azure Fox King then realized that Su Chen's actions had been a deception.

Su Chen deliberately slowed his pace and ventured deeper into the mountains, making Su Chen mistakenly believe that there was an ambush ahead.

After he fell for the trick, Su Chen played along and put on a show to make him believe that Su Chen would come back.

As a result, the other party never returned, while he remained foolishly standing there, his eyes empty.

"How dare you toy with me like this! You've already met your end!"

The Green Fox King was furious. He was incredibly angry to have been tricked by a mere brat.

Half an hour later, the Green Fox King still hadn't found Su Chen. He knew he had lost Su Chen, so he stopped.

However, the mission to kill Su Chen is not over yet. With his speed, as long as he intercepts Su Chen on the Ascending Dragon Path before Su Chen returns to the Ziyang Sect, he still has a chance to kill Su Chen.

After calming down, the Azure Fox King changed direction and headed towards the Ascending Dragon Path.

"Ok?"

Before they had gone far, the Green Fox King suddenly paused, then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared ahead—it was Su Chen.

"It's truly a blessing from heaven that you've been sent back to me."

The Azure Fox King's lips curled into a sinister smile as it silently approached Su Chen.

Just then, Su Chen seemed to notice him and turned around, looking at him expressionlessly as he was eager to try.

When Su Chen noticed him, the Azure Fox King was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and was about to speak.

However, the next moment, as if he had prepared in advance, Su Chen slashed down with his sword. The sharp blade light tore through the air and struck like a ferocious demon.

Upon seeing this, the Green Fox King sneered.

This guy had no idea of ​​his powerful physique; he was fearless even when facing a mid-level divine weapon.

A king-level demon is comparable to a martial artist at the Divine Intent Realm. Its strength lies not only in its demonic arts but also in its physical body.

Seeing Su Chen's blade about to strike, the Green Fox King raised its arm and brought it down vertically, its claws drawing a vertical line in the air.

The blade's edge and the vertical beam collided in a cross shape, creating ripples of energy that knocked down all the surrounding trees.

"Hmm?" The expected crushing defeat did not occur, which made the Green Fox King's expression freeze.

Just as he was about to make another move, a cold glint hidden within the blade's edge finally emerged.

Like a ferocious beast hunting in the dark, it opened its gluttonous maw as if to swallow the Green Fox King whole.

The Azure Fox King's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't expected Su Chen to have a hidden move within a move. After a moment of panic, he quickly launched a counterattack.

This time, however, the claws crumbled even faster than before. The cold light swept through the obstacles with unstoppable force, striking the Green Fox King.

boom!
A dull thud rang out from the Green Fox King, the violent impact causing him to stagger back half a step.

But he only took half a step before regaining his balance.

"hehe."

As he expected, Su Chen's attack did not cause him much harm.

His smile widened.

"It's my turn!"

The Azure Fox King stomped his foot, and demonic power surged in his palm, instantly forming a jet-black iron claw.

Before he could launch his attack, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the airflow ahead.

"what?!"

He looked up and his eyelids twitched. The sky was filled with sword light, like a white curtain rising up, rolling in like a flowing river.

The sudden turn of events caused the playfulness in his eyes to vanish, replaced by a look of apprehension.

He couldn't understand how Su Chen could unleash so many moves all at once.

But at that moment, he didn't have time to investigate further and acted swiftly.

Ahead, Su Chen looked at the somewhat flustered Green Fox King, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

His previous escape was merely to regain his senses; the alluring voice of the Green Fox King was too strange, and he simply couldn't resist it.

He had no choice but to escape to slowly recover.

By toying with his opponent and stalling for time, Su Chen finally returned to normal.

The reason he appeared was to see just how big the gap was between himself and a king-level demon without being deceived by the other party.

This move contained all of his strength.

The combined power of 110,000 kinds of elemental energy, the Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique, and the Divine Weapon technique—just how powerful is this combination?

Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

boom!
A series of sonic booms erupted ahead, like the explosion of a small bomb. The sound was immense, and the shockwaves were terrifying, wantonly destroying the surrounding vegetation. Giant trees within a radius of a hundred meters cracked inch by inch in this clash, turning into wood ash that scattered into the sky.

"Not dead yet?" Su Chen looked at the disheveled figure in the dust, slightly surprised.

He was astonished, while the Green Fox King was nearly driven mad.

He couldn't believe that he had been injured by a 'general-level' person.

"Bastard thing!"

The Azure Fox King roared, but the enchanting voice made it sound even more captivating.

Su Chen dared not be careless. He withdrew and retreated to a distance of over a thousand meters, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of his divine weapon to resist the alluring voice.

Even so, he was still shaken to his core by the sound, and his blood and qi surged.

Fortunately, he recovered quickly, but when he tried to take advantage of the situation, he found that the Green Fox King had already left.

"Why don't you go after them?" a curious voice asked.

Su Chen seemed to have expected this and was not surprised. He shook his head and said, "Even if we catch up with him, we can't kill him."

King-level monsters are not so easy to kill.

His all-out attack only severely injured his opponent; even if he pursued him, he might not be able to kill him easily.

The figure didn't ask any further questions, but changed the subject: "Su Chen, you killed a fellow disciple right in front of me, what is your punishment?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure descended upon Su Chen, causing his body to sway slightly.

Su Chen calmly replied, "According to the sect rules, killing a fellow disciple requires the destruction of one's cultivation and expulsion from the sect."

Vice Sect Master Yang Jiu looked directly at Su Chen and found that the other party's expression was firm and he did not have any regrets.

He continued, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Su Chen shook his head, offering no explanation.

He did it, and that's it. If he wasn't caught, he'd deny it to the death. If he was caught, there was no need for him to explain, and he wouldn't regret it anyway.

It was utterly impossible to make him sit idly by and wait for his death. His expression remained calm as he secretly gathered his strength, searching for a way to escape.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

Yang Jiu continued to press Su Chen silently, seemingly contemplating how to deal with him.

After a long silence, Yang Jiu said, "I have heard about the feud between Pang Hao and you. Even so, he does not deserve to die. You killed a fellow disciple, so I will punish you by killing a king-level demon. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was slightly taken aback, shocked by such a punishment.

It's not that I'm surprised the punishment is too severe, but rather that it's too lenient.

It seems difficult to kill a king-level monster, but Yang Jiu did not specify when.

Su Chen currently lacks the strength to kill a King-level demon, but he speculates that once he breaks through to the next level, he might be able to do so.

The punishment given by Yang Jiu was clearly biased towards Su Chen.

Su Chen thought about it for a moment and then felt relieved. What's done is done, so it's better to turn a blind eye than to pursue it further.

After all, his talent far surpasses that of Pang Hao.

Moreover, Pang Hao was indeed at fault first. If it were a normal person, they would choose to side with Su Chen and let the matter rest.

Yang Jiu was no exception.

Just then, Yang Jiu added, "However, my request is now."

"Shall we go and kill a king-level monster now?" Su Chen asked in return.

"Mm." The vice sect leader nodded.

"Vice Sect Master, isn't this too hasty?"

He could wait two days until he broke through to the Perfect Realm before killing the King-level demon. He had no confidence at all if he went now.

Yang Jiu listened and said with a half-smile, "You left your primordial spirit aura on the Green Fox Demon, wasn't it to seek revenge on him?"

Seeing that Yang Jiu had already discovered his intentions, Su Chen scratched his cheek and chuckled.

"He has already been injured by you. If you find him, you might be able to kill him if you take the opportunity to strike." Yang Jiu had come up with a plan for Su Chen.

Su Chen said embarrassedly, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jiu laughed. Su Chen hadn't shown any embarrassment for his deception and sneak attack earlier, but now he was acting coy.

"Go ahead and do it, I'll cover for you," Yang Jiu said meaningfully.

Su Chen's expression turned serious, and he replied decisively, "Okay!"

the other side.

The severely injured Green Fox King was unaware of the lingering spiritual energy within him. He fled for his life, trying to escape Su Chen.

After running for dozens of miles, the Green Fox King stopped, panting heavily, his face still showing signs of shock.

This battle was a complete disgrace; not only did he suffer heavy losses, but he himself also nearly lost his life.

"The alliance doesn't pay enough attention to Su Chen. This person can fight against a king-level demon with just the Nascent Soul realm. His assassination level should be raised to another level," the Azure Fox King concluded.

He had heard about the outcome of this battle. He thought that sending a king-level demon and several general-level demons to deal with Su Chen was already a waste of talent, but now it seems that the alliance made a mistake.

Even he couldn't gain the upper hand against Su Chen, which shows that Su Chen's strength is far greater than the rumors suggest.

"No, we must not allow such a human warrior to grow stronger. I must return to the outpost immediately and report this matter."

After recuperating for a while, the Green Fox King had an idea in mind.

He couldn't kill Su Chen by himself; he needed to find help.

Without delay, the Green Fox King immediately set off, heading back to the nearest outpost.

……

Su Chen followed the aura of the primordial spirit to track the Azure Fox King and soon left the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"This is... the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

He was taken aback to find himself in the Great Zhou Dynasty without realizing it, wondering why the Green Fox King had suddenly gone there.

"Perfect timing. After eliminating the Green Fox Demon, we can also wipe out the Zhou royal family."

Su Chen's eyes flashed, and he quickened his pace in the pursuit.

As he continued his pursuit, Su Chen discovered that the aura of the Azure Fox Demon had appeared within the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The other party did not seem to be wandering around randomly, but was moving forward with a purpose. After entering the imperial city, they went straight to the imperial palace.

This change made Su Chen wonder: "Could it be that the Great Zhou Dynasty has colluded with the Demon Alliance?"

After thinking about it for a while, Su Chen stopped thinking about it and decided to wait and see.

With Yang Jiu backing him up, Su Chen was full of confidence and directly followed the aura of the Azure Fox King into the palace.

Upon arriving at the outpost, the Green Fox King came to the outside of a luxurious mansion. The mansion was guarded by demons, who prohibited anyone other than demons from entering.

The mansion was filled with a strong demonic aura, which gathered in the air and remained solid without dissipating, yet it did not leak out in the slightest. Clearly, the demonic aura had been concealed through some special means.

No one expected that such a demonic house was hidden in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

The Azure Fox King walked into the depths of the mansion with ease, encountering patrolling demons along the way, but they recognized him and did not stop him.

"King of the Blue Fox, what brings you here?" a seductive voice rang out.

As the sound faded, a bright light seemed to appear in the world.

Upon seeing that alluring figure, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the Green Fox King, but it was quickly concealed.

"White Fox King, I have important matters to report to the Dragon Emperor."

"Lord Qiulong Emperor has already left. You may tell me whatever you need to say," the White Fox King replied with a frown.

They were very dissatisfied with the Green Fox King's uninvited arrival.

Upon hearing this, the Azure Fox King said, "I need you to report to the alliance and raise Su Chen's assassination level. This person is far more complex than he appears. At the same time, I also need to find another King-level demon to assist me in killing Su Chen."

Upon hearing this, the White Fox King remembered the Green Fox King's mission.

She looked at the Azure Fox King, her eyes immediately hardening: "Azure Fox King, you fool, someone has planted your primordial spirit aura in your body!"

"What?!" The Green Fox King was immediately shocked, his expression changing drastically.

"Oh no!" The White Fox King quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.

The Azure Fox King possesses the primordial spirit aura of a human warrior, and now that it has appeared at the outpost, doesn't that mean the outpost is about to be exposed?

She glared angrily at the Green Fox King, that good-for-nothing who only brought trouble upon himself.

"Retreat quickly!"

The White Fox King ignored the Green Fox King, who was dealing with his primordial spirit energy, and instead gave instructions to his subordinates.

But it was too late.

Su Chen and Yang Jiu had already arrived above the mansion.

“I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected harvest.”

The deputy sect leader chuckled, not expecting to discover a Demon Alliance outpost in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The moment the Vice Sect Master appeared, the White Fox King's pupils shrank, as she could not fathom his strength at all.

When the Azure Fox King saw Su Chen, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously took a half step back.

"I'll deal with this white fox; you can handle this blue fox." The vice sect leader left these words and immediately took action.

The White Fox King sensed this aura and his face showed a look of horror: "Dharma Aspect Realm!"

But at that moment, a blurry, enormous figure emerged from behind the vice sect leader.

He reached out and grabbed, and the figure made the same gesture, grabbing the White Tiger King who was fighting desperately, and crushing the White Fox King's body and soul in a flash.

Such a bloody scene happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that even Su Chen didn't have time to react before the white fox was already dead.

Such cruel methods surprised Su Chen and also deeply agitated the Green Fox King standing to the side.

The moment Yang Jiu made his move, he too sensed a danger of death.

run!
An instinctive thought surfaced in his mind, and intense fear gripped his body, making him want to back out.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Green Fox King did not hesitate and fled as fast as the wind.

Seeing this, Su Chen quickly realized what the deputy sect leader had done. He grinned, a cruel look on his face, and leaped in front of the fear-filled Azure Fox King, blocking his way.

Nirvana Draw Sword Technique.

The power of all things.

The might of a divine army.

Three different techniques were all condensed on the blade, superimposed in a strange state, and then slashed out with a single blow.

Perhaps spurred on by Yang Jiu, Su Chen mobilized almost all of his strength.

This terrifying strike left the Green Fox King with no chance to retaliate before he was struck.

"what!"

The Green Fox King let out a miserable scream as its body shattered with a bang.

Spurred by this, Su Chen unleashed a power far greater than ever before, killing the Green Fox King with a single move.

Upon seeing that both king-level demons had been killed, the demons inside the mansion completely lost their will to resist and fled in all directions.

Such a huge commotion quickly attracted the attention of the Great Zhou royal family, and soon a voice suddenly rang out:
"Who dares to act so recklessly within the imperial city?"
