Upon hearing this, Zhu Chen frowned and looked in the direction she was looking.

I saw a faint evil aura spreading in the deep woods ahead, as if there was some danger hidden.

"They are just some low-level monsters, nothing to be afraid of."

Zhu Chen said indifferently.

Meng Wan shook her head, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Young Master, this place is full of demonic energy. I'm afraid there are more than just low-level demonic beasts. Let's take a detour to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Zhu Chen felt a little impatient when he saw how cautious she was.

But thinking that the beauty in front of him was very obedient to him, he still spoke patiently.

"It doesn't matter. Since you are afraid, I will kill those monsters."

As he spoke, Zhu Chen raised his hand and a blazing flame gushed out from his palm, heading straight for the source of the evil spirit in the woods ahead.

He thought that this attack would be enough to turn those "low-level monsters" into ashes. However, as soon as the flames approached the woods, they were shattered by a powerful demonic energy.

"Ok?"

Zhu Chen frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Just then, a low roar was heard from the woods, and then a tall black shadow slowly walked out.

It was a huge demon in the Nascent Soul stage, with demonic energy all over its body and bloodshot eyes. It was obviously angered by Zhu Chen's actions.

"I wanted to let you go, but you dared to attack me, you are courting death!"

The demon roared angrily and slapped Zhu Chen with its huge claws.

Zhu Chen's face changed, and he realized that he had been deceived by the illusion and mistakenly took the great demon in the Void Refinement Stage as a low-level demon beast.

He cursed in his heart, retreated quickly, and at the same time raised a red shield to block in front of him.

"boom!"

The demon's claws slammed heavily on the shield, causing a deafening roar.

Although Zhu Chen barely blocked the attack, he was also shocked and his blood boiled, and he retreated several steps.

"Master, be careful!"

Meng Wan stood aside, her face full of worry.

Zhu Chen steadied himself, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

As the young master of the Suzaku clan, he is flattered wherever he goes. When has he ever suffered such a loss?

He snorted coldly, and flames around him surged, transforming into a huge phantom of a Vermillion Bird, which pounced straight at the demon.

"How dare a mere Void Refining Demonic Demon act so presumptuously in front of this young master!"

Zhu Chen shouted angrily, and a scarlet sword appeared in his hand. Flames were swirling around the sword, and it was obviously a Taoist weapon of extremely high grade.

When the demon saw this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

He roared, and the demonic energy around him condensed into a black whirlwind, which collided violently with Zhu Chen's Vermillion Bird phantom.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided, causing a deafening roar.

The surrounding trees were destroyed instantly and the ground was cracked by the earthquake.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Zhu Chen gradually gained the upper hand by relying on the blood talent of the Suzaku clan and the power of Taoist weapons.

He swung the sword in his hand, and a blazing sword light slashed straight at the demon, forcing it to retreat again and again.

"Death to me, young master!"

Zhu Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he thrust the sword in his hand out suddenly, aiming straight at the demon's heart.

The demon roared and tried his best to resist, but was ultimately no match for the power of Zhu Chen's Taoist weapon and was pierced through the chest by the sword.

The demon's chest was pierced and blood gushed out like a fountain.

But it did not fall down. Instead, it let out a shrill roar, and the demonic energy around it suddenly surged, and it launched a fierce counterattack.

Its claws suddenly grabbed Zhu Chen at such a fast speed that even Zhu Chen was unable to completely avoid it.

"Shoot-"

Zhu Chen's left arm was torn open by the demon's sharp claws, leaving a wound so deep that the bone was visible, and the blood instantly dyed his sleeves red.

He groaned, his eyes filled with more rage, and he swung the sword in his hand violently, completely shattering the demon's body.

"court death!"

Zhu Chen gritted his teeth and growled, and was about to put away his sword, but suddenly he felt an even more terrifying murderous intent coming from behind him.

He turned around suddenly and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Meng Wan was surrounded by demonic energy, with dark black armor covering her entire body. Blood-colored bone chains were dancing around her like poisonous snakes, emitting a heart-pounding chill.

Her eyes were bloodshot, no longer showing the gentleness and obedience she had just shown, but were replaced by a bone-chilling murderous intent.

"Meng Wan, you——"

Zhu Chen was extremely shocked. Before he could finish his words, Meng Wan had already attacked.

"boom!"

Twelve blood-colored bone chains attacked Zhu Chen like lightning. Each bone chain contained terrifying demonic energy, as if it was going to tear the space apart.

Zhu Chen had no choice but to swing his sword to block in a hurry, but the injury on his left arm slowed his movements down a bit.

A bone chain hit him hard in the chest, knocking him back several feet.

"puff--"

Zhu Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of disbelief, "You...you are also a demon?!"

Meng Wan sneered, her voice as cold as ice, "Demon? If you say so, then it is."

Before she finished speaking, she formed seals with her hands, and the demonic energy around her suddenly condensed. Twelve phantoms of gods and generals appeared behind her, and each phantom exuded a pressure that could suppress the heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Chen's expression suddenly changed.

"The inheritance of the Twelve Divine Generals?! How is this possible!"

He stared at Meng Wan, his eyes full of shock and anger.

"Didn't this inheritance fall into the hands of the human race? Could it be that... you killed that human and secretly merged the inheritance?!"

Meng Wan said nothing, but slowly raised her hand.

Following her movement, the twelve phantoms of the divine generals raised their hands at the same time and pressed down towards Zhu Chen.

The terrifying pressure made Zhu Chen feel as if his breath was suffocated, as if the whole world was against him.

"boom!"

The phantoms of the twelve divine generals attacked at the same time, and terrifying power surged towards Zhu Chen like a tide.

Zhu Chen gritted his teeth and roared, flames burst out around him, and the shadow of the Vermillion Bird appeared again, trying to resist this force.

However, he was already injured, and coupled with the repressive power inherited from the Twelve Gods, his resistance gradually became powerless.

"Click——"

The phantom of the Vermillion Bird shattered into pieces under the suppression of the twelve generals, and Zhu Chen's face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

There was a glimmer of despair in his eyes, but more of it was anger and unwillingness.

"Meng Wan! If you dare to kill me, the Suzaku tribe will never let you go!"

He roared angrily, trying to intimidate Meng Wan with the prestige of his clan.

However, Meng Wan just smiled coldly.

"Suzaku clan? Ha, I was just thinking about trying to see if the blood power of the young master of Suzaku is particularly sweet!"

Before she finished her words, she flashed and appeared in front of Zhu Chen.

The blood-colored bone chain coiled around him like a poisonous snake, binding Zhu Chen tightly.

Zhu Chen couldn't struggle and could only watch Meng Wan's hand pressing on his chest.

"Do not--!"

Zhu Chen let out an unwilling roar, but the sound was quickly drowned out by the surging demonic energy.

A cold light flashed in Meng Wan's eyes, and she suddenly exerted force on her palms, and a terrifying devouring force burst out.

The Vermillion Bird blood in Zhu Chen's body was forcibly extracted, turning into streams of red light that flowed into Meng Wan's body.

"what--!"

Zhu Chen let out a shrill scream, the flames around him quickly dimmed, and his eyes lost their luster.
