Chapter 265: Enchanting Demon Sand, the Power of Temptation

Huo Yuyao, Qiao Zhixin and the others were startled by a sharp shout from Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said nothing and sprinted straight toward another direction.

"Why did you suddenly go mad!" Huo Yuyao froze in place, and Qiao Zhixin was also stunned.

All of a sudden, Qiao Zhixin noticed something, pointed at the "Ancient Luan Island" in the sky and said, "It's moving toward Jiang Chen."

Huo Yuyao then understood Jiang Chen's intention. She felt a wave of shame, her whole body flushed with heat, as if she wanted to slip into the cracks of the earth.

At first she thought Jiang Chen intended to escape alone, abandoning them.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen was trying to lure away the Ancient Luan Island to buy them a chance to survive.

Such a great sacrifice moved her, but she didn't have much time to think.

Huo Yuyao decided decisively, "We go; we can't let Brother Jiang Chen be sacrificed in vain."

She led the squad, racing toward another direction.

Jiang Chen didn't hear her words; otherwise he might have thought the woman was really clever.

Although there was a hint of that sentiment, it wasn't much.

As for sacrificing himself so they could live, Jiang Chen didn't consider himself that noble.

Being targeted by the Ancient Luan Island, if a Group Attack Skill were to hit, Jiang Chen might survive, but those people would certainly die.

Jiang Chen chose to let them go without resentment, sprinted to the other side, and the Undead Legion withdrew swiftly, no longer drawing fire.

Moreover, if those people were killed by him, all his effort to rescue them would have been in vain.

Now the Ancient Luan Island locked onto Jiang Chen, no longer needing the Undead Legion to draw fire.

Not only Huo Yuyao and the others would be dragged to death, even the Skeletons didn't need to share the same end with him.

end.

After Damage Transfer, combined with Bone Armor and Strong Soldier, Jiang Chen was confident he wouldn't die.

"You think you can kill me, it's not that easy!"

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, surged forward with fierce resolve, and ran toward the Central Area.

The Ancient Luan Island began to dive, and a monster appeared ahead of Jiang Chen.

The monster seemed to have spotted the Ancient Luan Island and fled as if its life depended on it.

Black Flame rained down from the sky, and the monster was reduced to ash in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Chen's Bone Armor held up in the Flame for only a second before it exploded with a bang.

Jiang Chen quickly reconstituted his Bone Armor, but it was still a beat too slow.

The Flame had already inflicted considerable damage on him.

Jiang Chen sensed that over thirty Skeletons had died.

His defense was far weaker than a Skeleton's; at the moment his Bone Armor failed, the damage he took was enough to kill him many times over.

Those damages ignored the Skeletons' defenses and affected them.

It was a matter of an instant, resulting in the loss of more than thirty Skeletons.

The newly formed Bone Armor crackled twice, about to rupture again.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately restored his Bone Armor.

He couldn't wait for the Bone Armor to break before repairing it; he had to keep replenishing it.

After six consecutive restorations of Bone Armor, he finally held out until the Fire Sea receded.

The Ancient Luan Island had already descended to his head.

A massive claw pressed down from the sky.

Jiang Chen was too small; the claw was too large to grasp him.

The Ancient Luan Island switched from clawing to slapping, delivering a heavy slap onto Jiang Chen.

The Bone Armor shattered in response, and Jiang Chen let out a muffled hum as he was slapped into the air.

Damage Transfer took effect, and a shattering sound echoed in Jiang Chen's mind.

Another dozens of Skeletons perished.

There was no time to feel sorry,

Jiang Chen was still soaring in midair, and his Bone Armor had already been restored.

At this moment, the Ancient Luan Island was already flying upward.

"Do you think I'm made of mud?"

Since it had already hit, Jiang Chen wasn't scared.

A flash of Red Light.

Skill: Damage Curse!

With a buzz, a blood‑red sword appeared above the Ancient Luan Island.

Then flames roared in the palm.

Skill: Soul Burn!

The Ancient Luan Island let out a wail instantly.

Its whole body shivered; it was clearly in pain.

Who would have thought that a tiny bug like Jiang Chen would dare to strike back.

It was utterly enraged.

Black Flame poured down like a tide of fire.

They turned into massive black Fireballs that rained down everywhere.

"I'm going!"

Jiang Chen ran even faster.

This was obviously the second Skill of the Ancient Luan Island.

Sure enough, a Fireball hit the ground.

Boom!

A terrifying Explosion occurred.

A massive gust of wind swept in, and Jiang Chen was stunned.

Watching the Mushroom Cloud rising, the power of this Skill was terrifyingly strong.

Then, Fireballs fell one after another, exploding continuously.

Bunches of Mushroom Clouds rose, blasting the ground beyond recognition.

Huo Yuyao and the others, who had already fled far away, saw this scene, and the intense Explosion reached them as well.

The ground kept trembling.

Huo Yuyao swallowed hard; the sight was too beautiful, and she dared not watch.

Tears glistened in Qiao Zhixin's eyes, watery and bright, "Jiang Chen really is a good person."

Huo Yuyao knew Qiao Zhixin's soft heart, "Don't be sad, Brother Jiang Chen truly is a great man; when we return, we must set up a tablet for him."

Qiao Zhixin nodded, "Offer three incense sticks every day."

The others echoed, "Yes, we will together offer incense for Brother Jiang Chen."

Intense Explosion.

In the blast, the Bone Armor kept cracking, yet it was constantly replenished.

Jiang Chen's movements were already swift, but occasionally there were moments he couldn't react in time.

The unlucky ones were the Skeletons, silently bearing damage for Jiang Chen.

They feared no death, even claiming they never had life to begin with.

But Jiang Chen did not think so.

The Skeletons were both his Summoned Entities and his comrades.

In his eyes, the Skeletons were alive.

"I'll remember this grudge," he said.

"Sooner or later, I'll settle it with you."

Jiang Chen kept fleeing outward amid the sound of Explosions.

The Ancient Luan Bird's Skill continued, with blazing black Fireballs falling incessantly.

Jiang Chen kept his head down and ran hard, the Bone Armor working nonstop.

Whether it cracked or not, using it was always the right choice.

Now the distance to the Central Area was short; at most two more minutes and he could run out.

The Ancient Luan Bird, seeing its Skill ineffective, swooped down again.

It never intended to let Jiang Chen leave.

A Level 33 youngster, still not dead after so long, made it lose face.

It swooshed down, landed on the ground, blocking Jiang Chen's path.

Its beak opened, looking ready to devour Jiang Chen.

Suddenly, a massive aura surged from afar.

The Ancient Luan Bird couldn't help but look up.

Jiang Chen also sensed the other's aura.

The Abyss's power roiled, and an Abyss Demon arrived.

The aura was enormous, comparable to a Top-tier Professional of the Human Race.

Jiang Chen felt a chill; an Above Level 70 Top-level Demon was approaching.

It was coming straight for him.

Jiang Chen only then realized he might have been marked at some point; otherwise, in such a vast Ancient Battlefield, such coincidences wouldn't happen.

Matter.

Pursuers behind, fierce tigers ahead.

Jiang Chen was momentarily in a dilemma.

Continuing to run wasn't an option, nor was stopping.

A few seconds later, the opponent's figure appeared clearly in his sight.

Abyss Succubus, an Abyss Succubus above Level 70.

Not as powerful as the Enchantress Demon King, but far stronger than Luluna.

"Finally found you; I didn't expect you to hide in the Core Area."

"Since I'm here, just obediently come with me. Don't worry, sister will take good care of you. Haha!"

Abyss Succubus Shadai hovered in the air, with a coquettish smile.

Her voice was seductive, and Jiang Chen's Bone Armor flickered, blocking its allure.

Shadai saw the charm ineffective, her pretty face slightly changed.

She was ordered to bring Jiang Chen, not to kill him.

The Enchantress Demon King ordered her to bring Jiang Chen back to the Abyss, and unless absolutely necessary, to bring him back alive.

To that, she could only obey.

Jiang Chen grasped the meaning of her words, "I can't go with you."

A Detection Technique sprang forth as they spoke.

As a result, no information was obtained except the opponent's name.

Shadai giggled repeatedly, "Jiang Chen, little friend, this isn't up to you."

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen chuckled, then suddenly turned and ran toward the Ancient Luan Bird.

Jiang Chen swiftly passed the spot of the Ancient Luan Bird; his direction was, astonishingly, deep within the Core Area.

If Shadai wanted to catch up, she would first have to cross the Ancient Luan Bird.

Unexpectedly, the Ancient Luan Bird did not pursue, and Shadai stayed still.

Jiang Chen turned oddly and saw that the Ancient Luan Bird was staring intently at the Succubus Shadai.

The Ancient Luan Bird's eyes bore hatred, and flame was boiling.

Succubus Shadai giggled repeatedly, "Just a mere

upper‑space BOSS, step aside, or I'll kill you."

The Ancient Luan Bird let out a squeak, flapped its wings, and instantly a barrage of Fireballs surged toward Shadai.

Shadai giggled as she weaved through the Fireballs, and in the blink of an eye she had passed through; not a single Fireball could touch Shadai.

It can also fly, and is extremely agile.

The Ancient Luan Bird became angry, spewed flame across the sky, and unleashed a map Cannon.

This time Shadai could not dodge; Black Light erupted from her body, forming a shield‑like substance that blocked the flame.

The flame's power was enormous, and Shadai's shield was swift.

Only then did Shadai realize that the BOSS before her was not simple.

The Ancient Luan Bird didn't care what you thought; it had already charged forward, its eyes filled with hatred.

It no longer cared about Jiang Chen; now it only wanted to kill Shadai.

Shadai also became serious; this BOSS seemed different from the BOSSes she had encountered before.

Now Jiang Chen was left staring dumbfounded.

What on earth does the pair in the sky mean?

In an instant, he seemed to become an outsider.

Jiang Chen chose a suitable pit to lie in, watching the great battle in the sky.

After all, constantly looking up was tiring for a long while.

And watching the spectacle was very comfortable.
