Fantasy: I can equip everything

Chen Chuang raised his hand, and the Tenglong Hammer appeared in his hand, quickly landing with its weight.

He didn't sense anything unusual for that brief moment.

His body was suddenly stimulated by the killing intent, and he subconsciously summoned the Xuanwu Armor.

That's how they blocked the fatal blow.

Otherwise, he might have already lost his life like Li Bao.

Once he had steadied himself, he looked up again and saw that he was now equipped with the Blood Enchantment Bead.

The fact that Li Bao, a powerful internal energy martial artist, could be killed silently and without warning immediately made Chen Chuang suspect that it was the work of a ghost.

But at this moment, in the vision provided by the Blood Demon Pearl, the area in front of them was completely empty.

Are you alright?

Li Yurou jumped off her horse and came to Chen Chuang's side.

With a hint of lingering fear on her face, she gripped the jade pendant tightly to her chest in terror.

Having experienced the previous encounter with the tiger demon, Li Zhiyuan seemed afraid that she would encounter such an accident again.

Therefore, he gave her his protective jade pendant.

According to Li Zhiyuan, this jade pendant contains the powerful energy infused by a strong person, and it can be activated and maintained for a quarter of an hour when encountering danger.

Within this fifteen-minute window, unless the opponent is at least at the True Qi Realm, they will be unable to break through the protective shield.

Originally, the imperial court issued this to local officials like Li Zhiyuan to protect their lives.

Fifteen minutes is enough time to hold out until others come to the rescue.

But given their current location, even if the county government received the news immediately and dispatched experts, it would be too late.

They can only rely on themselves.

But...

How could she and Chen Chuang possibly defeat an opponent who could kill the butler Li Bao in the blink of an eye?

Li Yurou's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Don't panic. If you want to live, take out all the treasures and items you have on you right now."

Chen Chuang didn't even glance at her, his eyes still fixed on what was ahead.

If, like last time, Li Yurou is carrying something similar to the Demon Devouring Blade, then equipping her with it would be the best option.

Li Yurou took a deep breath, suppressing her fear, and said, "That's all. The Demon Slayer Division's equipment was all used up last time."

Chen Chuang sighed.

That's true, it's only been a few days since the last operation.

Li Yurou didn't even have time to return to the prefectural capital, so it's normal that she didn't have time to replenish her equipment.

But where exactly is the enemy...?

suck~

A strange sound came from behind.

Chen Chuang's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately turned around.

A creature with a human body and a bird's head was standing on the trunk of a large tree behind them.

His slender beak was inserted into Li Bao's head, which he was holding, and he sucked it out bit by bit.

Li Bao's wide eyes slowly lost their luster.

It felt as if their souls were being slowly extracted by the crane demon.

【Joyful Crane Demon】

[Qi and Blood: 260/300]

[Cultivation Level: Peak Inner Strength]

Power: 84

[Defense: 12]

[Internal interest: 0]

[Agility: 125]

【Charm: 13】

The enemy information provided by the Blood Enchantment Bead slowly appeared in their field of vision.

Chen Chuang couldn't help but gasp.

It wasn't because the enemy was invisible; he simply hadn't noticed them.

It's not because the enemy is too fast!

Chen Chuang had never seen a movement attribute of 125 points before.

Whether it's Zhou Shouzhen or Wang Xingzhou, their strength lies in their power and defense.

But this crane demon's agility far surpasses its other stats.

The speed was so fast that even Li Bao, who was also at the peak of internal strength, couldn't react in time.

"A Crane Demon??? How... is this possible... how could such a monster appear here..."

Li Yurou had also turned around.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, he was filled with despair and collapsed to the ground.

Chen Chuang frowned and immediately said, "Tell me everything you know, quickly."

Although the Blood Enchantress Bead can reveal the enemy's attribute values, Chen Chuang still needs to discover the enemy's origins, weaknesses, and other information himself.

Li Yurou was able to recognize it, presumably because it was recorded in the Demon Slayer Bureau.

Swallowing hard, Li Yurou forced herself to speak and told everything she knew.

"The Crane of Joyful Wine is the thirty-first ranked demon on the Demon Slayer Division's list of ferocious demons."

"It has a violent temper and a craving for human brains. Its most dangerous feature is its thin, sharp beak, which can easily pierce through steel armor. In addition, it has two pairs of wings that are also weapons, comparable to swords forged from fine iron, which can easily sever the head of a cultivator."

"His most troublesome aspect is his speed; almost no one at the same level can keep up with him. When encountering such a demon, the Demon Slaying Division's internal advice is either to deploy a warrior of a higher level or to set traps in advance to disable his mobility..."

"These kinds of monsters usually live in the mountains of Liangzhou where spiritual energy is abundant. How could they appear in Qinghe County, a place with barren spiritual energy?"

Li Yurou didn't doubt why Chen Chuang wouldn't know about this infamous monster.

After all, the work of the Secret Investigation Division does not primarily involve slaying demons.

As she explained, the Crane Demon continued to suckle intently.

Only after a rustling sound did he contentedly toss the head away.

"Ah~ It's still a human who has achieved cultivation, sucking the brains of a delicious creature."

He stuck out his tongue and licked his slender beak, muttered something, and turned to look at Chen Chuang and the other man.

"As for you two juniors... tsk tsk, your cultivation is too weak, the flavor is a bit lacking." He shook his head, his words seemingly implying that he was going to let them go.

Upon hearing this, Li Yurou breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, Chen Chuang suddenly pushed her aside.

Call ~

After a startling whooshing sound, the crane demon's figure vanished from the spot.

That soft, eerie voice rang out again behind them.

"Hmm, the kid's reaction is pretty good. He's quite qualified to be dessert after the meal."

Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the crane demon rushed in front of them again.

This time, Chen Chuang was somewhat prepared and managed to make out the other party's actions.

Even so, the body's movements still couldn't keep up.

He only had time to raise the Tenglong Hammer in his hand.

cut!

Crane Demon looked at the large hammer in Chen Chuang's hand and snorted disdainfully.

These idiots only care about the power of their attacks.

What's the use of having great strength if you can't hit anyone?

Disdainful, the Crane Demon was about to change direction, circle around from the side, and snatch Chen Chuang's head off in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, it felt as if he had gained hundreds of pounds of weight.

The speed suddenly decreased significantly.

Chen Chuang, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately seized the opportunity and concentrated all his strength in his hand.

The dragon hammer swung down heavily.

"whee!"

Unfortunately, even though the Dragon Hammer had reduced his agility attribute by 10 points, his speed still had the upper hand.

With a light laugh, she drifted away.

boom!

The dragon hammer missed its target and crashed to the ground.

Centered on Chen Chuang, the ground within a radius of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) cracked open.

It kicked up countless clouds of dust.

"Um?"

Only then did the crane demon realize that something was wrong.

That's interesting...

Is this kid trying to use this method to interfere with my vision?

A hint of mockery flashed in its scarlet eyes as the crane demon slowly stretched out its hands, continuously growing gray feathers.

Then it suddenly flapped its wings.

A strong wind swept through, blowing all the dust high into the sky.

But just then, a golden light flashed.

In the crane demon's vision, Chen Chuang, dressed in dark gold armor, was already rushing over at high speed.

Clang!

The mantis blade on his arm popped out and slashed fiercely.
