Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Chen Nian had no interest in fighting them.

Their numbers are so terrifying that even a "judgment" wouldn't be enough to kill them all; it would only be a waste of our resources...

If we don't conserve our strength now, how will we fight Black Sun later?

The Ten Beasts of Senluo - The Escape Spirit Serpent.

Chen Nian chose to summon the lowest-ranking Void Serpent to protect himself, only in this way could he use the extremely dangerous "Zhu Rong" incantation later.

Hundreds of thousands of blood bats almost completely blocked Chen Nian's vision. They kept attacking him, and although they were blocked by the Void Serpent, the serpent's body was being devoured by them.

"We can't let this drag on any longer..."

Although Chen Nian's view was blocked, fortunately he had been here once before and remembered how to get there.

After a difficult journey, we finally arrived in front of the energy aggregation sphere.

Next, all we need to do is use "Zhu Rong" to blow this place up, and countless blood bats, along with the entire demon city, will be blown away!

However, things are far from that simple.

When Chen Nian came here last time, he encountered a calamity beast guarding the place, and fled in a panic.

It's still here this time!

A giant eyeball suddenly opened and aimed at Chen Nian.

Bang!

A beam of red light tore through the darkness, hitting Chen Nian precisely.

The body of the Void Serpent was pierced on the spot, and Chen Nian himself was also slightly injured. He was also blasted dozens of meters away by the shockwave.

"Such power... This calamity beast guarding the demon's lair is so strong, it's probably comparable to Qiongqi."

"It seems that without dealing with this guardian calamity beast, we won't be able to chant the incantation."

Chen Nian had to resist the pressure of countless blood bats on one hand, and endure the attacks of the guardian calamity beast on the other. In such an extremely harsh environment, it was impossible to use the super-powerful "Zhu Rong"!

The only way is to kill this calamity beast first!

With the Heavenly Eye activated, Chen Nian fired two beams of light from his pupils in retaliation, blasting the giant eyeball to pieces with a deafening roar.

"Solved?...No, that's not right."

On the fleshy soil of the rock wall, a huge eyeball grew out again!

"This is troublesome..."

Chen Nian's expression grew increasingly solemn.

He discovered a chilling truth...

The rock face was covered in soil that looked like flesh!

"So, the Demon's Lair isn't some kind of cave, but rather a gigantic monster itself. I've just walked right into its belly, hah."

Even under these circumstances, Chen Nian remained calm and focused intently on devising a strategy.

Time is running out, every second counts!

"Since the Demon Cave is a monster, destroying its heart should render it incapable of moving."

"To find its heart, one can observe the energy flow on the fleshy soil and trace its source..."

Having clarified his thoughts, Chen Nian no longer hesitated.

While dodging attacks from the eyeballs and resisting the bites of tens of thousands of blood bats, he used his Heavenly Eye to observe the energy flow of the fleshy soil.

Only the Sky Eye can do this.

"Found it...the heart!"

Chen Nian finally found the constantly beating heart in a crevice in the rock wall.

The heart was covered in blood vessels and encased in thick flesh, yet it beat powerfully.

Boom!

His heart was shattered by the beam of light emitted from the Heavenly Eye.

It should be fine now...

To Chen Nian's surprise, a new heart grew from the fleshy soil in just a few seconds!

"How is that possible!"

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the heart was not the only point of convergence.

There are four other similar energy convergence points in other locations.

This means that this calamity beast... has five hearts!

If all five hearts are not destroyed at the same time, its life energy will be inexhaustible and it will never be killed!

Seeing that the Void Serpent was about to give out, Chen Nian was still being attacked.

Just then, boom!

A blinding bolt of lightning brutally tore through the swarm of blood bats.

Appearing before Chen Nian was a black-clad man wielding a katana, the Thor's Blade—Uesawa Naoki.

"You saved my people, I don't owe you any favors."

........

It turns out that Shangze had been in a slump ever since he lost to Chen in the martial arts festival.

Later, he fought wild beasts everywhere, and his strength increased even more.

Upon returning to the guild's base, they heard the news that members had been captured by the Heavenly Fire Demon God.

They rushed over at breakneck speed, only to find that the person had already been rescued; it was none other than Bu Yu who had done it.

I rushed in just to repay this favor.

.......

Chen Nian glanced at him.

"Helping me will kill you."

Once Zhu Rong is activated, this terrifying energy will explode, and it's uncertain whether Chen Nian himself will survive, let alone others.

"A samurai fears not death, but a meaningless death!"

Uesawa asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"That monster has five hearts, scattered in different corners of this demonic lair. All five hearts must be destroyed simultaneously to kill it."

"What's so difficult about it!"

Shangze suddenly burst into laughter, feeling utterly exhilarated.

For him, although he could not defeat the silent, being able to do what the silent could not do was also a way of realizing his own value.

"Thunderous Fury!"

Its entire body erupted with lightning, becoming the most conspicuous ball of light in this dark demonic lair.

In an instant, countless blood bats swarmed towards him!

Without Chen Nian's divine eye, he couldn't see anything at all in the demon's lair; all he could see was darkness.

However, he doesn't need eyes.

He was the first person to dare fight the Silent One in "Death".

Cunning!

In the endless darkness, Shangze sensed the location of the five hearts through his Mind's Eye, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Thunderclap... Starlight flashes!"

Bang!

Shangze transformed into a burst of lightning, blasting the approaching blood bats into a bloody mess.

With absolute focus and an intense desire to surpass Chen Nian, his speed has broken through the limits, becoming even faster than before!

In the darkness, the lightning bolts formed a five-pointed star.

The five stars of the pentagram are exactly where the five hearts are located.

Five hearts, almost simultaneously, turned into countless pieces of flesh!

The fleshy soil immediately dried up, and the eyeballs that had attacked Chen Nian disappeared. The calamity beast in the demon's lair was finally dead.

Chen Nian, finally able to catch his breath, has begun to unleash the "Zhu Rong" (a powerful fire).

Terrifyingly powerful flame energy emanated from his body.

This is the aura that will destroy everything...

After killing the monster, Shangze did not leave, but instead covered Chen Nian, continuously slaying the approaching blood bats.

He almost transformed into a real bolt of lightning, a maniacal smile playing on his lips.

Without a doubt, at this moment, he was extremely excited!

Chen Nian opened his eyes.

The power of words—Zhu Rong!
