Fantasy: I can equip everything

Chapter 44 Next time, you won't be so lucky!

Chen Chuang chose this cave because of its secluded location and its long, narrow interior that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.

From the outside, even a master of internal energy like Wang Xingzhou couldn't be sure if someone was lying in ambush deep inside.

Chen Chuang originally only wanted to scare Wang Xingzhou and buy some time.

I never expected to find such a treasure!

Chen Chuang walked to the side and pulled out a knife that was stuck in the stone wall.

The long, narrow, dark gold blade made a crisp, low sound as it rubbed against the rock wall.

[Equipable item found. Equip?]

【Demon-Eating Blade (Golden Armored Mantis Demon)】

[Grade: Blue]

[Attribute Bonus: None]

[Special Effect: When equipped, it can solidify the soul of a Golden Armored Mantis Demon as armor, briefly granting the user peak demon soul power (remaining duration: half an hour).]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 20]

[The Demon Slayer Division's unique techniques can seal the souls of demons within a blade, unleashing its immense power.]

Although the styles are different, the hints in the equipment menu also indicate that this is the Demon Devouring Blade, a secret treasure of the Demon Slayer Division.

Unlike the one in Li Yurou's hand, the soul sealed within this knife seems to be a demon called the Golden Armored Mantis Demon.

With the longsword in hand, Chen Chuang immediately equipped it.

As the Demon-Devouring Blade appeared in his equipment inventory, the method of using the blade naturally came to Chen Chuang's mind.

Each Demon-Devouring Blade is uniquely forged.

Depending on the type of demon soul sealed within it, the Demon-Devouring Blade manifests in different forms.

Like the previous Tiger Soul Demon Devouring Blade, it could manifest a tiger demon phantom to assist in battle.

Within the Demon Slayer Bureau, the methods of using various demon-slaying swords for blood sacrifice also differ.

As for why this demon-slaying sword appeared here...

Chen Chuang glanced at the scattered corpses deep inside the cave and couldn't help but sigh.

On the body, one could vaguely make out the same black outfit worn by Li Yurou.

In his panic, Chen Chuang ran blindly to the cave where the tiger demon had been hiding.

The corpse was clearly that of the other Demon Slayer Captain who had died earlier.

Around the corpse, various Demon Slayer equipment were scattered.

The demon-finding lamp, the demon-slaying crossbow, and fragments of iron armor that Chen Chuang couldn't identify.

This captain of the Demon Slayer Division dared to venture into the deep mountains alone to slay demons, clearly demonstrating his confidence in his abilities.

We have also made full preparations.

Unfortunately, he probably didn't expect the tiger demon to recover its internal energy cultivation in such a short time.

The final result could only be that they were torn to pieces by the tiger demon.

Even the equipment he carried with him was destroyed.

Pity.

Chen Chuang actually quite liked the Demon-Slaying Crossbow.

However, thanks to this captain of the Demon Slayer Division, he now has the power to protect himself in front of Wang Xingzhou.

even...

A murderous glint flashed in Chen Chuang's eyes.

I want to leave that guy deep in these northern mountains.

A big shot in the Grand Canal Gang must have been carrying a lot of good stuff.

Gripping the Demon Devouring Blade tightly, Chen Chuang took a deep breath and strode towards the exit.

Just as he was about to leave the cave, he suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped and turned around to look.

Since the tiger demon has recovered its internal energy cultivation, why didn't it leave from the North Mountain directly?

Even if he wanted to lure the Demon Slayer Division to reclaim the Demon Devouring Blade that sealed his father's demon soul, he could have found a safe place first, restored his cultivation to its peak state, and then returned.

Why stay in this deep mountain cave for so long?

Could it be...?

Chen Chuang's eyes flickered as he considered a possibility.

But before he could turn around to investigate, Wang Xingzhou's voice came from outside the cave.

"Little guy, although I'm pretty sure that the master you're talking about is 90% fake, I don't want to take the risk."

"Okay, I'll count to ten, and then you can come out by yourself, alright?"

"Otherwise, I'll just set it on fire and make it smoke."

"I'd like to see how long you can hold your breath, given that you're not at the Inner Strength level."

Let's deal with this problem first.

Chen Chuang hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked out of the cave.

"Oh? You actually came out."

Wang Xingzhou looked at Chen Chuang with a smile.

It seems unsurprising at all.

He's cautious, not stupid.

The pursuit was halted to rule out the less than 10% worst-case scenario.

and many more!

Wang Xingzhou suddenly noticed the dark gold longsword in Chen Chuang's hand, and his expression became more serious.

This guy didn't bring this knife with him when he first entered the cave.

Is it a secret treasure specially hidden here?

Chen Chuang didn't hide anything and said frankly, "You guessed right, I did lie to you at first."

"I was just lucky and found something good."

"Now, let me see if your caution can save your life again!"

Wang Xingzhou brought his hands back to his front.

His internal energy circulated, and he stared intently at Chen Chuang, asking, "What is the origin of this knife?"

"Demon Slayer Division, Demon Devouring Blade!"

As he spoke, a thought suddenly occurred to Chen Chuang.

The dark gold longsword in his hand trembled slightly, turning into liquid that covered his entire body from his arm.

click!

The next moment, Chen Chuang was completely enveloped in dark gold armor.

The armor was menacing, with barbs gleaming coldly at the joints.

Chen Chuang raised his hands and clenched them tightly.

Suddenly, long, narrow mantis blades shot out from his forearms.

At this moment, Chen Chuang looked more like a demon.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Xingzhou's pupils constricted slightly.

The Demon-Slaying Blade of the Demon Slayer Division?

Why would this kid...?

Before his doubts could be answered, he suddenly raised his left hand.

Clang!

Chen Chuang had appeared beside him without him noticing, and his long, narrow arm blade slashed horizontally, but Wang Xingzhou blocked it with his palm.

How could flesh and blood actually block this blow?

Chen Chuang was stunned for a moment before noticing that Wang Xingzhou's seemingly empty palm was glowing with a faint blue light.

It was obvious that she was wearing some kind of transparent glove.

Sizzle!

As Chen Chuang swung his long blade, the sensation was like cutting an iron plate with a blunt knife.

At the point where the two meet, sparks even fly.

These gloves are just as strong as the tiger demon's claws from before.

Having made his judgment, Chen Chuang immediately changed his actions and shifted his target.

The other arm blade swung towards Wang Xingzhou's calf.

However, Wang Xingzhou reacted extremely quickly, immediately crouching down and using his other hand to block the knife.

Ding ding ding!!

Chen Chuang's offensive was getting faster and faster.

The Demon Devouring Blade gave him more than just this suit of armor and long blade.

There is also the peak strength of the mantis demon sealed within.

With increased force, each slash was powerful enough to slice through trees in half with just the wind from the blade.

His speed was increased to the extreme; he could unleash more than a dozen slashes in the blink of an eye, his entire being seemingly transforming into a sharp gust of wind.

Despite such astonishing speed and power, Wang Xingzhou managed to block all the attacks.

With his hands moving up and down and his feet moving with exquisite footwork, he blocked all the slashes one by one.

The two figures moved continuously, clearing out patches of open space deep in the forest.

Wang Xingzhou's expression grew increasingly grim.

In the end, I couldn't resist anymore.

"Enough!!!"

He roared and thrust his palms forward with both hands together.

The surging energy caused the transparent gloves to gleam with a deep blue luster.

boom!!!

Chen Chuang crossed his arms in front of him to block, but he was still sent flying backward by the palm strike.

The powerful force even ripped off a layer of the ground where he had just been standing.

Chen Chuang took several steps back before regaining his balance.

Looking down, I saw that there were even some cracks on the dark gold arm armor.

This palm strike was incredibly powerful.

However, Chen Chuang was not surprised.

Because at the very moment Wang Xingzhou unleashed this move, he had already noticed that the internal energy value on the opponent's attribute panel had dropped by nearly half.

It's obvious they're about to unleash some powerful method.

He had prepared in advance, which is why only his arm armor shattered.

Otherwise, if it were pressed directly against the chest, the force would likely penetrate the armor and affect the internal organs.

Wang Xingzhou took a deep breath and gave Chen Chuang a long look.

"Kid, I'll remember this. Next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left.

Watching his figure disappear into the depths of the dense forest, Chen Chuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This guy is just too cautious by nature.

Otherwise, if the fight continues, the outcome is still uncertain.

However, this was something he had already anticipated.

Just next time?

Let's see who's lucky!
