Chapter 113

Internal dark purple sword qi spread widely, its aura sharp and piercing.

"This is trouble..."

Watching the agile movements of the fire demons around her, Jiang Churan's heart sank.

Five days ago, she entered the Galespine Mountains to begin her training.

For the first few days, everything went well; she continuously slew numerous beasts and leveled up smoothly from level 14 to level 15.

But starting today, everything changed.

She had actually encountered demons here!!

After being stunned, she used several hidden cards to kill the demons she encountered, then quickly chose to retreat toward the supply base.

Fortunately, she had only just entered the vicinity of the Dark Miasma Valley; it would take only over ten minutes to reach the plains region.

And once she passed through the plains, she would be safe.

Unfortunately, when she reached the edge of this jungle, she also spotted the large horde of fire demons.

With no way to break through, she chose to rest temporarily and recover her condition.

But after two hours, when her condition was fully restored,

she discovered the number of demons on the plains had increased by nearly a third!

Thus, she knew she could wait no longer.

With a grit of her teeth, she activated the succubus power within her, aiming to break through swiftly.

Unfortunately, after slaying two fire demons, the remaining demons seemed to realize her state couldn't last.

They began dodging her attacks, employing a tactic of surrounding but not attacking.

They intended to wait until her succubus power faded before launching their assault.

"My succubus power can still hold for another ten minutes—if I can't break out within ten minutes..."

Jiang Churan lightly bit her red lips.

Seeming to consider her no great threat, only eight demons were currently attacking her.

But even so, she couldn't hold them off.

After ten minutes, when the succubus power faded, death would be her only fate.

Even if she could kill these eight demons, the hundreds more fire demons in the distance would never let her escape.

And these demons...

On their grotesque faces, besides the excitement over human flesh, clear greed and sinister hues were visible.

"If I can't break out after this, I'll just self-destruct."

Jiang Churan silently made her decision.

To ensure her safety, the Jiang Clan had prepared backup measures for her.

Even if she died, she could be resurrected, losing only some attributes.

But even in death, she would never let her body fall into the hands of these demons.

"Pity, I didn't get to see Zhou Yi this time.

If I'm resurrected and he comes from Sichuan Province, it'll be another month."

Jiang Churan sighed and casually slashed out another sword qi.

This journey to the Galespine Mountains had another purpose besides training: to find Zhou Yi.

Unfortunately, she hadn't found Zhou Yi—instead, she now faced mortal danger.

"Roar!!"

"Growl!!"

"..."

On the other side, Zhou Yi and the Qingyuan Squad had just burst out of the jungle, drawing the attention of the fire demons; over a dozen tall, grotesque demons immediately charged toward them.

【Monster: Fire Demon Assassin】

【Level: 21】

【Quality: Silver☆】

【Skills: Stealth Technique, Dagger Strike.】

【Note: A demon assassin from another world, with uncanny movement and the ability to stealth and vanish.】

Seeing the demon information displayed by the Appraisal Technique, Zhou Yi immediately ordered:

"Senior Sister, you all hold them off—I'll go to support."

"Got it!"

Su Qinglian nodded, not worried about his safety.

Six level-20 Silver Rank fire demons were a nightmare for ordinary level-16 practitioners.

For Zhou Yi, they were weaklings he could obliterate with a mere gesture.

"By the way, let me buff you all first."

Slightly uneasy, Zhou Yi stirred his inner mana; divine energy spread as he released one skill after another.

Weapon Blessing!

Dawn Blessing!

Divine Grace!

A normal level-16 Holy Knight's buff skills could only be applied to two or three allies.

As the Holy Knight's level increased, the range and number of targets expanded gradually.

Top-tier Holy Knights above level 60 could release a single buff skill that benefited everyone in an entire city.

And although Zhou Yi was only level 16, under the protective and enhancing effect of his S+ talent, Holy Angel.

His buff skills could simultaneously be applied to up to fifteen practitioners!

But normally he was alone, so he had only applied them to himself.

At this moment, after all buff skills were released, every member of the Qingyuan Squad was drenched in holy energy.

Each of their weapons, under the effect of weapon blessing, radiated golden holy light, utterly sacred.

Su Qinglian instinctively glanced at her information panel.

She immediately discovered that all her attributes had increased by approximately one-quarter!

"This enhancement is too terrifying!!"

She widened her eyes, her heart surging with shock.

You must realize that she is now level 24!

A one-quarter increase in all attributes would double her strength!!

If the enhancement skill had been cast by a high-level Holy Knight, it would still be understandable.

But Zhou Yi was only level 16!

She had assumed a one-tenth increase would be impressive enough.

Yet Zhou Yi's enhancement turned out to be this terrifying!
