...

At this moment, in the forest of Bright Peak, Demon Slayer Monk Natu stared at the Six Great Sects opposite him and said, "Alright, I’m not willing to say much to you filthy lot. Is that Chen Jiusi over there?"

He then turned his gaze towards Chen Jie. Chen Jie glanced at him and said, "Senior Demon Slayer Monk."

"Heh heh, don’t think calling me senior will make me spare you. I’m telling you, hand over the Little Ming King and I’ll give you a swift end; otherwise, you’ll suffer."

Upon hearing the demon monk’s words, Chen Jie frowned and said, "Senior Demon Slayer Monk is straightforward indeed. Aren’t you going to try to persuade me to surrender?"

"Persuade to surrender? Haha, don’t be ridiculous. Which of you Han people truly submit to us? If you ask me, we should have wiped you out back then. Persuade you today? Do you really take me for a fool?"

Chen Jie couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, wondering who sent this clown. He really said all the nasty things.

Or perhaps he spoke everyone’s inner thoughts aloud, while others stayed polite on the surface. But the demon monk was impolite, saying nasty things unfiltered. His words were truly venomous.

Seeing the demon monk being so arrogant.

Chen Jie found it amusing, yet the alarms went off in his heart. Though the demon monk talked tough, his strength was undeniably powerful, even absurdly strong. That Rainbow Sword Yu Zhen from Taishan Sect also had Middle Melting Furnace Realm strength, yet couldn’t withstand even a single round from the demon monk.

Although Chen Jie believed he could defeat Taishan Sect’s Yu Zhen, he couldn’t match the demon monk’s effortless and instant defeat.

Therefore, Chen Jie looked at the demon monk, realizing he probably couldn’t win this match. The gap between Molten Furnace Realm and Melt God Realm was insurmountable, not something a Qiankun Great Method could bridge.

Thinking this, Chen Jie stealthily approached the Little Ming King.

At this time, Song Yuanqiao from Wudang put his hand behind his back and gestured towards Chen Jie.

Chen Jie understood, realizing it was a signal from Song Yuanqiao to make a quick escape.

Chen Jie was not foolish; he easily discerned Song Yuanqiao’s signal, so he quickly reached the Little Ming King, grabbed his wrist, and dashed towards the Ming King Hall.

Seeing Chen Jie trying to flee with the Little Ming King, the demon monk grew furious: "You damned thief!"

As he said this, he raised his hand for a Vajra Palm strike.

Boom!

An intensely powerful palm force came striking from behind Chen Jie, too vigorous, making Chen Jie’s hairs stand upright.

The Little Ming King, being carried by Chen Jie, almost wet his pants from fear; the palm force gave him a sense of impending death. Chen Jie couldn’t let the Little Ming King die, so he quickly turned his head, immediately swinging a palm.

"Divine Dragon Tail!"

Roar...

A dragon’s furious roar echoed as Chen Jie pushed out, and suddenly a giant dragon rushed towards the demon monk.

Boom!

A tremendous crash followed, as the demon monk’s Vajra Palm instantly shattered Chen Jie’s dragon, with the remaining force directly impacting Chen Jie’s chest.

Chen Jie involuntarily received the residual force of the palm.

With a sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was his first encounter with a Melt God Realm expert, and its dreadfulness proved true. Chen Jie, in combat, deeply felt the terror of the Melt God Realm.

The difference between Melt God Realm and Molten Furnace Realm was indeed like heaven and earth. Despite Chen Jie being of Melt God Upper Realm, there was still a gap with Melt God Realm!

Phoo~

After taking the blow, Chen Jie suffered severe internal injuries and understood that battling Melt God Realm required having it himself. If he couldn’t swiftly reach Melt God Realm, defeating the demon monk was impossible.

And to enter Melt God Realm, Chen Jie’s only option now was the Melt God Pill hidden in Ming King Hall.

With this thought, Chen Jie rushed towards Ming King Hall without hesitation.

Seeing this, the demon monk roared angrily: "You thief, stop!"

A furious shout followed, and the demon monk charged towards Chen Jie, aiming to pursue.

The demon monk was fast,

About to catch up with Chen Jie’s direction, but at that moment, a powerful sword light suddenly swept towards him!

The demon monk was startled, turning to see a long sword flickering with a three-foot sword glint, slashing at him.

"Villain, meet your death!"

The sword light was extremely sharp, forcing the demon monk to retreat a step despite the wielder not being at Melt God Realm, then he roared in anger: "Master Jue Mie, how dare you attack me?"

Master Jue Mie then thunderously shouted: "I will kill you, this is it!"

Master Jue Mie’s patience had run out. She was someone of strong character, never having an issue with her conduct.

Yet the demon monk dared to claim she had affections for Chen Jie, thinking the old nun was lovesick, infuriating and embarrassing her immensely. At this moment, gritting her teeth, her sword emitted terrifying sword winds, presenting a determined stance.

The Emei Sect heavily values reputation, and Master Jue Mie prized it more than life itself. The demon monk’s disrespectful words directly provoked Master Jue Mie to a murderous anger. If he wasn’t killed today, a heart demon destined to resurge!

Therefore, Master Jue Mie raised the Jade Maiden Sword to strike, with a demeanor of not resting until her hatred was quenched today.

The demon monk evaded two of Master Jue Mie’s swords, his expression unsightly, and roared angrily: "You vile nun, aren’t you just relying on your treasure sword’s advantage? Without the treasure sword, you’re nothing."

"Villain, spare your words. Today I must kill you!" Master Jue Mie nearly went mad with anger, wielding the Jade Maiden Sword recklessly, attacking fiercely without technique.
