Chapter 111: Chapter 104: Jing Tian Department Takes Action (Three more ten thousand words, asking for subscription!)_2
Chen Yu's demeanor was solemn as he spoke with a deep voice, "There's no time to delay. The large contingent of the Jing Tian Department is already assembled. We'll depart now to Xu'an County."
"Yes!"
Following a salute from Gu Chen and his two companions, they followed Chen Yu to a square within the Jing Tian Department. At that moment, many people were already waiting there.
For this mission, in addition to Chen Yu, the commander, nine first-rank Metropolitan Procurators and twenty-seven second-rank Metropolitan Procurators were dispatched.
It's worth mentioning that after Song Yu and Wang Yan broke through to the Outer Qi Stage, they were also appointed as second-rank Metropolitan Procurators.
All nine first-rank Metropolitan Procurators were Vajra Stage martial artists.
Besides, a large number of defense forces from Xu'an County were supporting from the rear, which showed how much importance Da Xia placed on this operation.
"Depart!"
Seeing that everyone was present, Chen Yu didn't waste words and immediately led everyone out.
Outside the city of Tiandu, Gu Chen and the others met the noble descendants of the martial arts hall, among whom were Cao Zhen, Liang Xu, and Zhuo Zhibin—acquaintances of Gu Chen.
This time, when Cao Zhen saw Gu Chen, he didn't greet him with a smile, but gave him a cold glance before turning his gaze away.
As for Liang Xu, he had recovered overnight, and upon seeing Gu Chen in the crowd, his face darkened, though he didn't say much.
Zhuo Zhibin and others snorted coldly at Gu Chen, expressing their dissatisfaction with him.
To all this, Gu Chen didn't care and ignored it outright.
The leader of the martial arts hall was also a Gang Qi Stage martial artist, who smiled and nodded when he saw Chen Yu.
The group of noble disciples behind him, including Cao Zhen, totaled twenty, were all joking around, looking relaxed and casual, without the slightest urgency or tension—as if they were not going to battle but on an excursion instead.
After all, these descendants of military nobility thought that with Chen Yu, such a commanding officer, the mission would be easily accomplished; they just needed to hang back and observe from a distance.
They had heard of the fearsome reputation of the Six Union God Sect, but that was all in the past. These noble descendants didn't take things seriously, believing that the Red Flame Demon Sect might have already fled, making this trip no different from a picnic, a good opportunity to enjoy the scenic views outside.
Chen Yu glanced indifferently at this group, didn't say much, and directly set out with Gu Chen and the others.
For this operation, King Huai had already informed the people of the martial arts hall, and everything was to be led by Chen Yu. Continue reading stories on m|v-l'-novelhall.net
With a fierce shout, Song Yu and Wang Yan showed no mercy, drawing their weapons from their waists and charging into the fray.
The burly men bore vicious expressions, showing no panic even as their identities were exposed. They drew their long blades and engaged in battle with Song Yu and Wang Yan.
Xu Qing glanced at Gu Chen, who stood aside without making a move, and said nothing further.
Within the Jing Tian Department, he had heard of some of Gu Chen's exploits. As a warrior of the Vajra Stage, he could also feel the vigorous vitality surging within the young man beside him, not at all inferior to his own.
Therefore, Xu Qing didn't treat Gu Chen as a junior, but regarded him as an equal.
Boom!
The door of the inner chamber broke apart, and another dozen figures rushed out, all possessing the cultivation of the Outer Gangqi Stage.
"As expected, you were ready, just waiting for us to arrive!" Xu Qing snorted coldly, ready to make his move.
But at this moment, Gu Chen stopped him, saying, "Lord Xu, please allow me to deal with these small fries. You needn't bother yourself."
Xu Qing nodded, having no objections.
Clang!
As the group of Outer Gangqi Stage disciples of the demon sect charged towards him, Gu Chen's sword let out a clear ring, and with a sweep of his arm, an immense crescent-shaped sword Qi burst from the blade.
Puff puff puff!
Within a single encounter, seven or eight demon sect warriors fell victim, their bodies sliced into two halves by Gu Chen's sword Qi.
But at that moment, a cold and sinister aura suddenly emerged. Three demon sect warriors, shrouded in black Qi, stepped forward with grim and terrifying gazes, growing taller as they advanced.
Xu Qing's eyes tightened. It was his first time witnessing a fusion of ghoul and warrior. Despite being just three Outer Gangqi Stage warriors at the peak of their cultivation, after merging with ghouls, their aura nearly matched his own.
Xu Qing took a step forward, about to take action, but Gu Chen's movements were even quicker.
"Lord Xu, leave these inconsequential ones to me. There is a bigger fish behind them for you," Gu Chen said.
At those words, Xu Qing's body jolted, for at that moment, from the innermost depths, an immense surge of sinister and evil energy erupted into the sky.
It was a Vajra Stage warrior fused with a ghost of the netherworld!
