Chapter 742: Do You Think You’re Invincible?

Chu Hanlin faced the devil cultivator’s claw without any fear. He clenched his teeth, seized the right moment, and drew out a dagger. With a swift motion, he slashed upwards!

The dagger sliced through the air effortlessly. Severing a hand was nothing difficult.

With a scream, the devil cultivator’s hand was cut off. They had taken over the body, but they also had to endure the pain of inhabiting it.

The devil cultivator staggered back, looking at the bloody wound, filled with rage.

Chu Hanlin was still on the ground, and before he could rise, the devil cultivator detached itself from the original body, attempting to invade Chu Hanlin’s.

The evil soul had already invaded a part of him!

Chu Hanlin couldn’t resist, feeling as though his soul was on the verge of shattering.

"Father!" Chu Yang descended from the sky.

A sword engraved with runes slashed down, obliterating the soul.

Chu Hanlin’s soul stabilized somewhat, but his body still burned with pain.

However, as a father, he could still see the wound on Chu Yang’s chest despite his own suffering.

"My son..." He managed to say two words before a sharp pain shot through his head, and he nearly vomited.

"Father, don’t worry, I’ve grown up. I can protect you now," Chu Yang said, standing tall.

The devil cultivators could clearly see that dense spiritual energy was rising and spreading across the land.

And all this energy was flowing into Chu Yang’s body.

In an instant, Chu Yang’s injuries improved slightly.

The devil cultivators no longer targeted the ordinary soldiers, because Chu Yang’s spiritual power alone was equivalent to a thousand soldiers!

"Old rules," one of the devil cultivators said. "Whoever cuts off his right hand first, the prey is theirs."

After all, such a valuable target couldn’t have its bloodline or Dantian damaged, or it would lose its usefulness.

The devil cultivators surged forward.

Chu Yang, using only his strength, fought against thousands of devil cultivators!

Even though the spiritual energy flowed into him, he still grew fatigued with each continuous wave of attacks.

Moreover, he had to protect his father!

In just a few breaths, more bloodstains appeared on his body, making him look like someone who had just been pulled out of a blood pool.

He knew he couldn’t linger here; if he did, he would only be surrounded and killed.

He swept his sword across the front line of devil cultivators, grabbed Chu Hanlin, and leaped into the air.

However, the devil cultivators, at the crucial moment, united seamlessly.

Each of them gave their strength to another, and over a hundred devil cultivators leapt into the air, attacking the Chu father and son with swords, forcing them back to the ground.

Chu Yang, fierce as ever, gathered his spiritual power and struck out with a sword. The souls of over a hundred devil cultivators without inner cores were damaged and fell.

The father and son landed on top of a city tower, temporarily safe.

The devil cultivators hadn’t expected Chu Yang to be so formidable.

It was also their own fault for having lost their inner cores and not having enough blood essence to wield proper swordsmanship.

Rather than waste time with Chu Yang, they decided to kill more ordinary soldiers instead.

"Kill all the soldiers and civilians in the city!" the devil cultivators shouted. "Not a single one left!"

This was just the beginning.

Once they finished here, they would move on to other places!

The devil cultivators scattered, killing anyone they saw.

The soldiers couldn’t stop them, let alone the unarmed civilians.

Chu Yang took a pill and said, "Father, stay here. I must continue to fight."

Chu Hanlin’s head throbbed painfully. He grabbed Chu Yang’s hand, nearly crying out loud, "Fourth son, you’ve already reached your limit."

As a general, he shouldn’t stop Chu Yang, but as a father, how could he bear to watch his son be surrounded and killed?

"Father, whether it’s learning martial arts or cultivation, it’s to protect our family and our people," Chu Yang’s lips were pale, but his expression was resolute. "As long as I can still fight, I will fight!"

Without waiting for Chu Hanlin to respond, Chu Yang leaped back into the fray, cutting down devil cultivators.

The morale of the army, which had been scattered, was reignited by Chu Yang’s return!

"Protect the people!" the soldiers shouted. "We fight to the end!"

They fought for the people!

Even knowing it was a one-way trip, they charged ahead without hesitation!

But the devil cultivators grew stronger the more blood they absorbed.

Chu Yang’s spiritual energy was running low, and several devil cultivators teamed up to kick him to the ground.

He tried to get up.

But looking at the darkened sky and the dim stars, he had no strength left to rise.

"His spiritual energy is depleted. Just kill him," one of the devil cultivators suggested, and the others agreed.

Several of them moved to strike.

Chu Yang had lost all hope, but at that moment, a deep chanting sound echoed from the horizon.

From childhood to now.

From blurry to clear!

The devil cultivators immediately recognized it—the exorcism chant of the Divine Buddha Sect!

They hurriedly stabilized their evil souls, either trying to flee or make one final struggle.

But it was to no avail. The exorcism chant rang out, and their evil souls screamed in agony as they were forced to leave their bodies.

However, some devil cultivators were still powerful enough to endure.

The one devil cultivator who had just struggled to rise limped forward, gritting his teeth in pain. The evil soul was on the verge of bursting free, but he struggled to keep it under control.

"Let’s die together!" the devil cultivator shouted, raising his sword and aiming for Chu Yang’s heart.

Clang!

At the critical moment, a figure landed, knocking the devil cultivator’s sword aside.

"Zhou..." Chu Yang glanced and couldn’t help but smile.

Zhou Zida turned back and said, "You should call me grandpa!"

He then turned around and kicked the devil cultivator away.

Qiao Dabao also landed, sword in hand. Seeing Chu Yang covered in blood, his heart tightened. "Chu Yang, you’re too badly hurt."

"I’ll be fine after resting for a few days," Chu Yang managed to say. "But you came too late."

Zhou Zida mumbled, "That’s right, they were so slow. Those monks are flying so slowly."

He and Qiao Dabao had set out later, but had passed Shandu and the others along the way.

He then turned and glared at Chu Yang. "You were looking for death, thinking you were invincible? How dare you come here alone!"

Chu Yang said, "If I hadn’t come in time, my father and brothers would be dead."

Zhou Zida snorted but said no more.

Finally, Shandu and the others arrived.

One by one, they landed on the rooftops and resumed chanting.

With the help of spiritual power, the exorcism chants echoed, forcing all the devil cultivators to leave their bodies.

However, this exorcism chant only had a restraining effect, causing the evil souls unbearable pain.

Shandu opened the Buddha’s eye for Qiao Dabao and others, allowing them to see the evil souls clearly.

Qiao Dabao and the other family heads had already prepared, using talismans to exterminate the evil souls.

Fortunately, the twelve Shans’ spells were powerful. The evil souls had nowhere to hide and were too weak to resist, allowing them to be slaughtered.

However, with so many evil souls, the process took some time.

Soon, dawn arrived.

Shandu, worried that there might still be hidden evil souls, instructed his disciples to search around.

"Chu Yang, I’m truly sorry," Shandu approached Chu Yang, feeling deeply pained. "It’s all my fault for not practicing sword control properly. If we had come sooner, we could have saved more people."

Chu Yang had already been supported by Zhou Zida.

He tried to say something but saw a figure in the crab-colored sky.

"Who is that?" he asked.

Shandu looked up.

With his cultivation, he could clearly see the person approaching.

It was... Yan Buxiu?!
