From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 182 Chaos arises

The outer city and city wall of Yanyang City.

The black city wall, which was more than ten feet high, was in ruins, with large pieces of rubble falling off the surface. The teeth and claws of the demons left deep marks on the surface of the wall.

Zhao Gaoyang leaned on the top of the city wall, on the walkway about two meters wide.

His clothes were in tatters, his hair and face were covered with dust, he was holding a long sword in his hand, and resting quietly.

It was obvious from the looks of him that he had not come down from the city wall to rest for many days.

Half a year has passed. He used to be the young and handsome son of the Zhao family, but now his face has become more weathered and vicissitudes of life.

After Jiang Chen and Feng Ruxin went to the Dragon Elephant Sect's Doukui, the demons' attacks on Yanyang City became more intense.

Zhao Gaoyang was still stationed on the outer city wall with Lu Yan, Tao Shuang and others to resist the demons.

"If we stop this wave of attacks, we should be able to slow down the attack for two days..."

"Ah."

Lu Yan came over and handed him a kettle, "Do you want to go down and rest for a while?"

Zhao Gaoyang smiled bitterly: "I am too lazy to move. It doesn't matter where you go. I will just sleep on the city wall."

He took the kettle, took a sip, and was silent for a while. He couldn't help but ask, "How is Sister Tao Shuang?"

Lu Yan paused and said slowly: "My right hand was chewed up by the demon and can't be repaired. I'm still healing now..."

Zhao Gaoyang's breathing stagnated, his eyes dimmed, and he felt even heavier in his heart.

"Brother Lu, do you think we can defend Yanyang City?"

Lu Yan was silent for a while, then comforted:

"Look at the bright side. At least in the past six months, our strength and that of the elders have grown rapidly. If we continue to hold out, we may be able to defeat the Green Demon."

Over the past six months, although the Green Demon's attacks have become more intense, the number of demon corpses and demon essence stones captured in Yanyang City has also increased.

With the replenishment of a large amount of resources, the strength of the disciples and elders of the three sects in Yanyang has grown rapidly.

In just half a year, Zhao Gaoyang had advanced from the minor level of Iron Bones to the perfect level of Iron Bones, while Lu Yan had already advanced to the minor level of Organ Casting.

All in all, there are now more than twenty disciples in the Dragon and Tiger Sect who have entered the Zhuzang realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan smiled and said, "If Dou Kui didn't come earlier, it should be around this time."

"If the Dou Kui is here at this time, we, the Dragon Tiger Sect, will have more than 20 people participating in the Dou Kui, so we can definitely win a few spots."

Zhao Gaoyang nodded, and then seemed to remember something:
"Come to think of it, I don't know how Jiang Chen is doing now..."

"He is training in the Dragon Elephant Sect, so his strength should be improving very quickly. Perhaps, he has already refined his internal organs?"

Lu Yan shook his head and chuckled: "When he left, he had only made some progress in forging the internal organs. It's only been half a year. How could it be so fast? The difficulty of forging the internal organs is much higher than that of iron bones..."

Zhao Gaoyang nodded and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from the nearby city wall.

The two looked up and saw a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect who was guarding the city not far away looking at the sky outside the city with a puzzled look on his face.

They followed the disciple's gaze and looked towards the sky outside the city wall.

In the distant sky, a figure was approaching Yanyang City at an extremely fast speed.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then they were shocked.

A powerful blood mover! Or a seven-striped demon!

Only those who are strong enough to reach the Blood Moving Realm can stay in the air for a long time!
There are only a handful of blood-moving warriors in Yanyang City, and they are all inside the city.

The one flying in the sky was either a powerful blood-moving warrior who came to Yanyang City from other places, or a human-demon with seven stripes!

The distance was too far to see the person's face clearly, but Lu Yan did not hesitate.

No matter whether the person coming from the front is an enemy or a friend, they are not able to deal with it.

Once this blood-moving warrior gets close to the city wall, they will never have the chance to fight back!

Lu Yan immediately took out a black incense stick from his waist and was about to blow it towards the sky!

Black smoke rose from his hand and was about to shoot towards the sky.

This blast of smoke is the highest warning sign on the outer city wall. Once triggered, it means that there is a presence that can threaten the entire Yanyang City!

Lu Yan blew the cigarette horn and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, no matter whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, the Dragon and Tiger Sect can react in time and come to the city wall to provide support.

suddenly!

The mingyan that had just risen to less than two meters in the sky was caught by an invisible red giant hand, which squeezed it gently and crushed it directly!

It’s the blood-moving warrior!
Lu Yan was horrified, and then felt a little desperate.

it's over...

"Why are you setting off fireworks when you see me coming?" a calm voice sounded.

This voice seems familiar?

"Jiang Chen?" Zhao Gaoyang on the side widened his eyes in disbelief.

Jiang Chen?

Lu Yan was slightly stunned, then followed the red hand and looked forward.

I saw a figure standing on the city wall. He was tall and slender, wearing a black shirt with cloud patterns. The familiar face had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The situation before him made an incredible idea explode in his mind.

"This blood-moving warrior is... Jiang Chen?!"

……

Jiang Chen casually dispersed the black smoke in the sky.

He naturally knew what this black smoke represented. He came back this time to help Yanyang City solve its problems, not to bring trouble to Yanyang City.

When this whistling smoke rises into the sky, I'm afraid that all the masters in Yanyang City will gather here and treat him as a rare animal.

Lu Yan barely suppressed his shock and collected his thoughts:
"Jiang, Jiang Chen... Aren't you in the Dragon Elephant Sect? Why are you back?"

Jiang Chen said calmly: "There is a crisis in the city. I received the news and came back with Uncle Qiao and Sister Feng to take a look."

At this time.

Qiao Shan, who was behind, also took Feng Ruxin to the top of the outer city wall.

Master uncle?

Lu Yan and Zhao Gaoyang gradually understood and bowed to greet him.

And on the nearby city wall.

The other disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect who were guarding the city also discovered that the person who came did not seem to be an enemy, but Jiang Chen, who had been to the Dragon Elephant Sect to become the Dou Kui, and they quickly gathered around.

Lu Yan quickly stopped them and said, "Everyone continue to guard. I will take Jiang Chen and the others to find the headmaster first."

Afterwards, he took Jiang Chen and a few others away from the outer city wall and walked towards the interior of Yanyang City.

……

After a while.

The news of Jiang Chen's return quickly spread throughout the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

The main hall lobby of the Dragon and Tiger Sect’s headquarters.

The head of the sect, Yang Feng, and the great elder, She Long, were sitting together, and beside them sat several other elders of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, including Qian Wenye and Shi Du.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen, then at Feng Ruxin, all in shock.

Lu Yan and Zhao Gaoyang have just explained the matter.

Everyone present also learned the news that Jiang Chen flew through the air and returned as a blood-moving warrior.

It's only been half a year.

When he left, he was only a minor master of organ casting, but when he returned, he became a blood-moving warrior.

The great elder She Long has practiced for a hundred years, but now he has only achieved a small success in moving blood.

The elders present had practiced for decades, but they were still just internal refining warriors.

Jiang Chen overcame so many hurdles in just half a year?

If Jiang Chen was the only one who returned, everyone would be shocked, but they could also understand that it was because the resources in the Dragon Elephant Sect were too abundant.

But now Jiang Chen came back with Feng Ruxin. The former senior sister Feng Ruxin has now completed her internal cultivation.

Comparing the two...

Feng Ruxin's eyes twitched slightly, her expression unchanged, "Why are you looking at me?"

"cough……"

Yang Feng coughed lightly and collected his thoughts, but he still felt heavy in his heart.

Although Jiang Chen was able to advance from internal organ casting to blood movement in just half a year, his talent was indeed shocking.

But a warrior who has only achieved a small level of success in blood moving is unable to resolve the current crisis in Yanyang City.

He glanced at Qiao Shan who was beside Jiang Chen, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Only a few of them came back, and it seemed that they did not find helpers in Longxiang County City. This was not unexpected.

Yanyang City is a remote place among the hundreds of cities in the county. Firstly, it has no valuable resources, and secondly, it is not a strategic location, so no one pays attention to it.

He had asked for help several times before, but to no avail.

Ugh……

Yang Feng sighed helplessly in his heart, but did not show this thought on his face.

Qiao Shan asked, "Master, what is the current situation in Yanyang City?"

Yang Feng said, "A few days ago, among the demons outside the city, there was a demon that was suspected to have three heads and seven patterns..."

"Suspicious?"

Yang Feng nodded: "Some disciples saw the three demons while patrolling outside the city, but for some reason, the three demons have not taken action yet... If they took action, the entire Yanyang City would not be able to resist for a moment..."

Yang Feng paused here, then added,
"In addition to these three demons, the leader of the Green Demons has also appeared. He is a green snake with seven lines."

When Yang Feng said this, the atmosphere in the lobby became silent.

Yang Feng has now mastered the art of blood moving, while She Long has only mastered the art of blood moving to a minor level.

The other two sects in Yanyang City, the Liuguang Sect and the Shuiyun Sect, are almost as strong as the Longhu Sect.

In the Liuguang sect, there is only one person who has mastered the Great Mastery of Blood Moving, and one who has mastered the Minor Mastery of Blood Moving.

The Shuiyun Sect is even weaker, with only one leader who has mastered the art of blood movement.

Even with this kind of strength combined, they might not be able to kill a single demon with seven complete patterns, let alone three.

Originally, Yanyang City still had hope of victory when facing the Green Demon.

But right now... there is almost no chance of winning.

In fact, some disciples and stewards from three sects have already thought about escaping from the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

If this continues, people’s morale will collapse and the entire Yanyang City will probably collapse without a fight.

Qiao Shan looked solemn.

He also didn't expect that the situation in Yanyang City had deteriorated to this extent.

A demon with three heads and seven patterns...

I'm afraid that even if we come here with just a few people, we won't be able to play a big role...

At this time, Yang Feng stood up and said, "Okay, the three of you have traveled for such a long time. Have a meal and then have a good rest. We will discuss the matter of the demons tomorrow."

Afterwards, a lunch was arranged to welcome the three people.

After dinner, he specially arranged a house for Qiao Shan to rest.

Jiang Chen and Feng Ruxin both have their own residences in the inner city, so there is no need to make separate arrangements.

After lunch, the table was littered with cups and plates, and only Yang Feng, She Long, and two or three core elders of the Dragon and Tiger Sect were left in the hall.

Qian Wenye couldn't help but turn his head and look at Yang Feng: "Master, what should we do next?"

Yanyang City is absolutely unable to stop the invasion of the perfect demon with three heads and seven patterns.

Their greatest hope before was to be able to get reinforcements from Longxiang County City.

But now, this hope has been shattered, and there is only one last way left.

Yang Feng was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Let's start preparing, and send people out of the city little by little."

"Great Elder, this matter is now handed over to you. You must transfer the genius in the sect out first."

She Long's body was slightly hunched, and his face looked a little gloomy.

He had been seriously injured in a previous battle with a seven-patterned demon, which damaged his vitality and made his already old body even more frail.

If it weren't for the longevity pill that prolonged his life, he would probably be lying on his sickbed, unable to move.

He nodded calmly and said, "Okay."

Yang Feng felt helpless.

The last option is to leave Yanyang City and move to other areas.

But with so many people in Yanyang City, it was extremely difficult to evacuate them all.

If too many people are moved at one time, they will definitely be targeted by demons. Without the obstruction of the city, it will be easy for the demons to massacre the people.

Therefore, they could only migrate little by little, taking as many people as they could.

"Ugh……"

Yang Feng sighed helplessly, his heart almost filled with sorrow.

……

The news of Jiang Chen's arrival spread among the Dragon and Tiger Sect.
Inner disciples who had once been acquainted with him, or even had been beaten by him in the academy, all came.

It took him a while to get away from the crowd.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a crisp knock on the door. Chu Yi, who was practicing in the yard, stood up in confusion and then pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

Jiang Chen was standing outside the door.

"Master!" Chu Yi was surprised.

When Jiang Chen followed Qian Wenye to the Dragon Elephant Sect to become the Dou Kui, he left the courtyard where he lived to Chu Yi and asked Tao Shuang to help look after it.

Now, half a year has passed, and Chu Yi has also entered the Bronze Skin Realm.

"How was this time?"

"Everything is fine, but..." Chu Yi hesitated, "Sister Tao Shuang was seriously injured and lost her entire right hand... I have been taking care of her during this period."

Jiang Chen was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

After staying in the yard for a while, Jiang Chen went to visit Tao Shuang again.

Afterwards, he went to look for Old Man Feng, but found him empty-handed.

They learned that after Old Man Feng and his friends went to the Dragon Elephant Sect to compete, he had left Yanyang City and had not returned in the past six months.

Jiang Chen felt helpless, but he had no way to contact the old man.

Afterwards, he strolled around Yanyang City and met up with his old friends.

It was not until nightfall that they arrived at a mansion near South Street in Shun'anfang in the outer city and met Qian Duobao.

……

As night falls, the mansion is brightly lit.

Several maids brought sumptuous food and wine to the table.

"Old Qian, it seems you have made a lot of money. Can you afford such a big house?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

After not seeing him for half a year, Qian Duobao looked much wealthier. He was dressed in brocade clothes, like a wealthy man.

He was very happy to see Jiang Chen.

After two glasses of wine, his face became more rosy, and he waved his hand and said:

"Isn't this all thanks to you? Once other people heard that I was related to you, how could they dare to compete with me for business?"

"Now that the outside of the city is getting more and more chaotic, I'm afraid my business won't be able to continue..."

As he spoke, Qian Duobao raised his head and looked curiously at Jiang Chen who was sitting at the table.

"I heard that you went to the Dragon Elephant Gate. Why are you back now?"

Jiang Chen said casually: "Come back to take a look and help solve the monsters outside the city."

Qian Duobao was stunned for a moment.

Although he has now given up martial arts and doesn't even know the names of the higher-level realms, he still has a basic understanding of strength and weakness.

It is said that even the leaders of the three Yanyang sects cannot deal with the monsters outside the city.

Jiang Chen had only been in the Dragon Elephant Sect for half a year. Even if one included the time he had spent practicing in Yanyang City, he had only practiced for a little over a year in total.

If he can get rid of those monsters, doesn't it mean that he is now more powerful than the leaders of the three sects in Yanyang?
Qian Duobao was stunned for a while, then came to his senses, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Is it true?"

"What, you don't believe it?"

Jiang Chen looked up at him and took a sip of the drink in his glass: "Of course it's true..."

"Oh!"

A loud bang exploded in the distance, followed by noisy screams and roars, and deafening footsteps.

Qian Duobao was startled and looked into the distance in panic.

Then he saw Jiang Chen put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and said calmly: "I'll go and take a look."

After saying this, the figure disappeared instantly.

The dining table was empty, as if Jiang Chen had never appeared in this mansion.

Qian Duobao stood there in a daze, blinking hard, his face blank.
