Chapter 96 - 95 Demon Invasion

Chapter 96: Chapter 95 Demon Invasion

The Chen family emerges, causing a commotion in Chuzhou.

Many speculate that it seems the Chen family is being pushed to the brink, ready for a desperate fight.

However, with the power of the Chen family, in such a situation, it’s feared that they won’t be able to turn the tide.

Now, both openly and secretly, too many forces in Chuzhou City are eyeing the Chen family as a piece of fat meat, all wanting to take a bite.

Moreover, the court has not intervened until now, clearly adopting a hands-off approach.

Or perhaps the Chuzhou government doesn’t dare to interfere.

The former prefect of Chu State died at Li Mountain, and the current prefect likely doesn’t want to get involved in this muddy water.

In Chuzhou City, a grand procession moved, like a long dragon in the night.

On the streets, the rooftops, and the alleys, there were silhouettes of people.

The Chen family moved slowly, heading in one direction.

As they continued forward, the crowd realized they were heading towards Li Fan’s residence.

This is it; they are risking it all.

Just as the turmoil erupted within Chuzhou City, outside the city, the guards patrolled atop the city walls.

At this moment, strange sounds came, and the guards glanced towards the dark outside the city.

"Did you hear anything?" one person asked.

Others also looked into the distance, hearing a thudding sound, they felt as if the ground beneath their feet was trembling.

Moreover, the tremor grew stronger.

Their eyes fixed on the distance, they vaguely saw bright lights appearing in the darkness; those were eyes.

"Demon attack."

Someone shouted loudly.

"Demon attack..." echoed voices, and the city gate guards moved swiftly. Simultaneously, figures from all directions rushed towards this area.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The ground shook as if even the city walls would collapse, and the crowd below fell into chaos, rushing towards the city.

The figures on the city walls showed panic on their faces.

Chuzhou City is a main city, with stationed troops, the Demon Slayer Bureau, and the Demon Suppression Army, along with many cultivators. Thus, a demon attack on Chuzhou City is extremely dangerous; a small scale attack is seeking death.

Therefore, Chuzhou City hasn’t faced a demon disaster for a long time, and the guards have become complacent.

However, there was no prior warning; why did a demon attack suddenly appear?

"Release the arrows." The city gate guards’ arrows shot towards the outside, but it seemed useless, as the rumbling continued, and a majestic demon shadow appeared in sight.

Seeing the demon’s strength, the guards felt weak all over, even forgetting to continue attacking.

Those demons leaped up, heading towards the city walls. With a piercing sound, a Pig Demon bit off a person’s head and devoured the flesh.

The other demons rushed up, screams echoing.

"Demon..." Those near the city gate saw the situation on the walls and felt weak. They never expected to encounter a demon invasion one day.

"Do not panic." A voice came, and a group of figures rushed towards the city gate with extreme speed, the leader releasing a powerful aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Demon Slayer Bureau."

Seeing the Demon Slayer Bureau arrive, many breathed a sigh of relief. They saw the figure at the front charge into the city wall, with a long spear sweeping forth with unstoppable force, causing heavy casualties among the demons ahead.

"Kill." Wielding the spear, he looked imposing.

At this moment, he seemed to hear a sound, glanced up.

In the darkness, a lightning bolt streaked through the night, and with a slashing sound, his head was directly cut off, flying into the air, his spear still raised, yet he was now a headless corpse.

The crowd inside the city saw the bloody, shocking scene, and on the walls, that huge demon form exuded a strong sense of oppression, like a Demon God.

"Flee..." A thought appeared in their minds, and they then fled this place frantically.

Near the city gate area, chaos erupted instantly, and on the gates, it was a bloody massacre.

Not long after, the mighty demon army invaded the city, hunting humans.

On the city walls, the massive dark figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from that space in an instant, traversing through the air.

......

In the inn where Li Fan resided, news had been delivered, indicating the Chen family was on their way here.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was somewhat surprised.

He thought the Chen family would flee; he did not expect them to come knocking on the door, seemingly ready for a do-or-die battle.

But where does the Chen family get the confidence?

He had discussed with the Cui family and Song family about the Chen family’s strength. Two Condensed Core Realm cultivators and the rest of their strength might not even compare to the previous Cui family, though the Cui family had just gone through internal cleansing and was slightly weaker than before.

The Song family wasn’t weaker than the Chen family.

Plus, now the general trend had formed, with all forces waiting to destroy the Chen family.

So, on what grounds does the Chen family dare to bet their lives?

Could it be the Chen family is hiding an ace?

Cui Lengzhou was also in the inn; at this crucial moment, he naturally had to stay here.

At this time, someone from the Cui family hurriedly arrived in the courtyard, saying, "Family Head, demons have appeared outside Chuzhou City, and they have already breached the city."

A fierce gleam suddenly appeared in Cui Lengzhou’s eyes.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Demon invasion in the city, cultivators should stand against the demon.

But at such a critical juncture, demons invade Chuzhou City?

"Senior, it seems we must be cautious. Indeed, the Chen family is colluding with the demons." Li Fan said, he had the Cui and Song families spread rumors of the Chen family’s collusion with demons, not just making unfounded speculations.

The incident in Lin’an County already proved the Chen family had dealings with demons.

The Chen family’s collusion with demons had been confirmed, but Li Fan did not expect the collusion was deeper than he imagined.

How can the human clans within Chuzhou City mobilize all the demons outside to attack the city?

Moreover, in such a short time.

Unless, there is a Great Demon commanding the outside demons.

"These beasts." Cui Lengzhou’s eyes showed strong killing intent.

Humans and demons are mortal enemies, and the Chen family actually colluded with demons to massacre humans in the city.

Also, it could be inferred that the Chen family must have committed many evil deeds in the past.

"The Chu State Government, that group of incompetents." Cui Lengzhou coldly said, "Surely, they have not truly cleared the demons outside for many years, right?"

Otherwise, where did the demon gathering come from?

"Vice Commander Sun of the Chu State Demon Slayer Bureau is also colluding with the outside demons." Li Fan said.

"Every time the Chu State Demon Slayer Bureau went out to hunt demons, it was just for show. Without demons, what use would they be? Keeping the demons, their status remained stable, feeding from both ends." Cui Zhanfeng beside him also said, "They’re all parasites."

Sounds from outside came, and Cui Lengzhou extended his Divine Sense outward, saying, "They’re here."

He said and leaped into the air, landing on the roof of the inn.

Li Fan and the others also successively leaped up, seeing this area surrounded by a crowd.

In the distance, a group of figures approached; even before they arrived, a powerful aura of blood and energy greeted them.

"Bang."

A figure flew into the air, appearing high above, revealing to be none other than Chen Family Patriarch Chen He.

"Song Kun, get out here." Chen He loudly said, and saw not far from Li Fan’s group on the rooftop, Song Family Patriarch Song Kun appeared.

"Song Kun, what enmity does our Chen family have with you? To make things so decisive." Chen He said coldly.

"Chen He, your Chen family colluding with demons warrants extermination." Song Kun coldly said.

"Very well." Chen He shouted coldly, "Since the Song Family Patriarch says so, I hope you can bear the consequences."

He said, then focused his gaze on Cui Lengzhou and Li Fan.

"Cui family prisoner." Chen He said to Cui Lengzhou, "I heard that twenty years ago, you couldn’t even protect your own wife, your daughter was humiliated by the Cui family for twenty years, yet you still have the face to be this Cui Family Patriarch. If I were you, I would have destroyed the Cui family."

Cui Lengzhou took a step forward, his aura rapidly rising, lightning circulating around him, illuminating the night.

"Demons attack, everyone, disperse immediately." Cui Lengzhou shouted into the darkness, then looked at Chen He.

"You Chen family cultivators are unworthy of being human."

Cui Lengzhou charged straight at Chen He, lightning rampaging in the night.

"Hmph, that trash Cui Mu was killed by you, I must see how strong you are." Chen He retorted coldly, charging towards Cui Lengzhou.

The two collided mid-air, instantly causing a huge wave sweeping around them.

Song Kun stepped forward, intending to join forces with Cui Lengzhou, but at this moment, his steps suddenly halted, a strong sense of crisis struck, as if something locked onto him. His heart raced, he stood still, mana flowing around him, a magical treasure appearing in his hand.

"Buzz..." Above his head, a figure streaked across like lightning.

"What is that?" Song Kun extended his Divine Sense outward, but his eyes couldn’t capture it.

The sense of crisis grew stronger, at his level, even his eyes couldn’t capture it, showing how terrifyingly fast the opponent was.

"Buzz." A sense of crisis struck, Song Kun threw the magical treasure above his head, and the treasure instantly expanded, like a mirror, shooting dazzling golden mana upward like countless sharp swords. It was an attacking magical treasure.

"Clang."

A loud blast sounded, and the mirror-like treasure cracked, then shattered explosively, and the figure above continued its dive towards Song Kun.

Only then did Song Kun see what it was.

"Great Demon..." Song Kun had no time to think; golden walls emerged in front of him, a defensive spell.

But still, it couldn’t block it, the defensive spell shattered in an instant, the terrifying light of massacre continued its assault, with a slash sound, blood splattered, and Song Kun’s body was sent flying, landing on a rooftop below, smashing through one house after another.

Li Fan looked towards that area, seeing in the night sky, a massive figure standing there.

This figure spread its wings, covering the sky.

The wings sliced through the night sky, with dark golden streams shimmering, the light swirling around its massive form, illuminating the darkness and also revealing its figure.

This figure had a head resembling a humanoid, very sharp, with a prominent nose, eyes like a knife, and a sharp beak like a hook.
