Chapter 1517: 1517

After getting rid of the demons, the group hit the road again .

After witnessing his attack, Left Knife and Right Sword adopted a brand-new way of seeing Jiang Chen .

It was impossible for anyone not to realize that Jiang Chen was not an average Buddhist disciple .

As Murong Yan had said, it was much easier for them to deal with the demons with Jiang Chen’s help .

If they ran into any danger, their survival would probably depend on Jiang Chen’s decisions .

“I was right, wasn’t I? This is much better than you and Xuan Qing having random adventures on the third level . ”

Murong Yan came up to Jiang Chen, beaming .

It was as if she hadn’t been the one who had tried to stop Xuan Qing from going to aid Jiang Chen .

“Indeed . ”

Jiang Chen smiled . When he had killed those demons, the seal in his body had reacted in an even stronger way than when he had killed the Great Celestial Demon .

“No wonder so many people are competing to come down to the Demonic Abyss,” Jiang Chen said .

The seal was actually the most appealing thing about the Demonic Abyss .

It could facilitate one’s practice, turning it simpler and more straightforward .

There was no need to work on methods, and one could not go beyond one’s limit too quickly . There was no risk of getting poisoned by taking too many elixirs either .

Here, one just needed to keep killing . The more one killed, the stronger one would become .

Once a person started, he would become too obsessed to spend time in working hard . All he wanted was to achieve success quickly by way of the seal .

That was also why so many people were willing to take such a great risk to stay in the Demonic Abyss, regardless of the Demon Slayers Palace or their own safety .

… . .

Back to the group’s journey, in which they kept running into demons everywhere they went .

As they left the teleportation room, the amount and the level of the demons they ran into also varied .

Sometimes, the whole team had to fight together, and Jiang Chen had to switch on the Buddha’s Light .

It was impossible for the others to leave all of the demons to Jiang Chen to kill alone in a fight .

Given that the situation was so dangerous, Jiang Chen did not oppose this .

On average, in about two or three times out of every five attacks, they would let him kill all the demons .

Despite that, Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing still had gained quite a lot .

“Ah, I’m sorry . I did it too fast . ”

Of course, things could not go smoothly all the time .

Sometimes Xia Jiang would intentionally kill the demons that were supposed to have been killed by Jiang Chen, especially the more valuable ones such as the Earth Demonic Kings and Earth Demonic Emperors .

He was able to kill them easily thanks to Jiang Chen’s Buddha’s Light .

Every time after such a killing, he would smile provocatively at Jiang Chen .

Others had no idea what kind of grudges there were between the two, but they could see how much Xia Jiang hated Jiang Chen .

Only Cao Ze was able to restrain him .

However, Cao Ze scarcely scolded him . He would at most tell Xia Jiang to restrain himself .

Jiang Chen kept smiling coldly . Since there were so many demons, Xia Jiang’s behavior did not actually affect him . However, it was obvious Xia Jiang had been trying to provoke him .

That being said, by then he had figured out which of these people were strong and which were weak .

Cao Ze’s fighting power was the highest among the ten people .

He was a Martial Arts Saint in the late stage . It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a genius .

After him, the loving couple, Left Knife and Right Sword, were the most powerful . They read each other well and could always gain victory by using the sword and the knife together .

Jin Yuan had a low profile . Jiang Chen could only see that his state strength was great .

But it was Xia Jiang who Jiang Chen was wariest of .

He figured out that Xia Jiang would be as good as Cao Ze if he hadn’t disguised himself .

As for himself, he was a Martial Emperor in the late stage . The strength of his realm level was much weaker than theirs .

Xuan Qing was a Martial Arts Saint in the middle stage . Her strength was a little weaker than Cao Ze and Xia Jiang’s, but she was much better in other regards .

Murong Yan was not weak, and she was not as low profile as Jin Yuan . She was not restraining her fighting power deliberately like he was .

It was fair to say everyone in this team was looking out for themselves .

By the way, Murong Yan had told Jiang Chen that they were going to finish the task in two days .

However, the demons they were running into were more difficult to deal with than they had thought, so it would take them longer than what they had originally planned .

That was quite favorable for Jiang Chen . He was killing more and more demons .

“If things go on like this, I’m afraid I’ll achieve the peak of Martial Emperor . ”

Jiang Chen had experienced the magic of the Demonic Abyss profoundly . He had also realized why so many people had felt jealous of those Sovereigns who had qualified to go to the Martial Field .

He had broken through to the late stage of Martial Emperor in the Striking Celestial Field when facing the killers from the Nether World School .

It had only been less than three months ago .

Judging by the usual progress of the Martial level, Jiang Chen had been progressing extremely fast .

“For me, the Sacred Flame matters more than the state,” Jiang Chen thought to himself .

After attacking again and again, he realized how powerful the Sacred Flame was .

As discussed before, the creation of the Sacred Flame meant the Buddha’s power was not only used to deal with evil .

It could also be used to deal with other enemies, but Jiang Chen was still trying to figure out the way to do it .

“The genuine blood of celestial phoenix is enhanced in such a demanding condition . That is kind of a surprise . ”

When he had been on the verge of being completely exhausted for the first time, he had recovered very quickly with the aid of the recovering ability of his divine body and elixirs .

But gradually, Jiang Chen found that the genuine blood of celestial phoenix had become much purer .

This had also led to his further improvement of mastering fire .

His law of fire had also achieved a state of clarity, which was one of the Four States .

He was better at using the Solar Golden Flame and the Sky-burning Evil Flame also .

“Let’s take a rest . ”

Cao Ze suddenly proposed a novel idea .

After getting into one fight after another, they had consumed lots of energy . Since they were still trying to find the remnants of the Empyrean Goddess, they did not want the final goal to be endangered by their fatigue .

They landed in the barren mountains . After clearing the demons there, they all started to regulate their breath and take elixirs .

“Jiang Chen, where did you get the Buddhist method? You can’t have achieved such attainments without having spent ten-odd years studying alone in some ancient temple . ”

Left Knife came up to Jiang Chen . He did not sound as disdainful as before anymore .

“Ten-odd years wouldn’t be long enough . It demands hundreds of years or even thousands of years,” said Jiang Chen .

Left Knife was struck dumb . He said with a bitter smile, “Have you gained insight into some Buddhist allegorical word or gesture?”

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders at this response . He had told the truth, but Left Knife obviously did not believe him .

“Let’s collaborate . ”

Left Knife brought up another topic . Without showing any emotions, he said through holy awareness, “The disciples of the Demon Slayers Palace are definitely staying together . That disguised Sovereign is your enemy . Jin Yuan is too sophisticated . No one knows what the others are thinking . If we don’t unite, it’ll be dangerous for us . ”

He, who had despised Jiang Chen in the first place, was drawing the latter over to his side .

Before Jiang Chen could answer, Left Knife looked toward the opposite side of the mountain, seemingly pondering something .

It was a cliff about 60 miles away . Three people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and landed .

Another ten-odd people followed after that .

“Attention!”

Cao Ze switched on the protective energy immediately, as if it was an extremely strong enemy .

It was also a team that was opposite them . This team had followed them from the square in the first place .

“Guys, what’s up?” Cao Ze asked loudly .

“We were killing enemies nearby . Then a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky . Those demons were affected by the golden light and their vitality was greatly reduced, so in the end, we killed them easily . I guess you have a Buddhist disciple here, don’t you?”

The three who had landed first were the strongest . The one who spoke was a Martial Arts Saint at the peak .

“What if we have? What if we don’t?” Cao Ze asked in a tough manner . He did not flinch at all .

“If you have, I want to borrow him . ”

This Martial Arts Saint in the peak looked at Jiang Chen after speaking .

Obviously, he did not only know there was a Buddhist disciple, but also knew who it was .
