Chapter 193 When the Divine Rune Emerges, the Demonic Qi Disperses

"Little pig, what are you doing?"

Chu Chen saw the dense mass of giant demon rats lunging through the air, while the Two-headed Fire Dragon just stood there, dazed, and couldn't help but ask in a high-pitched voice.

Yin!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon snapped out of it, issued a dragon's roar, and a sea of fire rose again, burning fiercely.

Although this sea of fire was even stronger than the last, it was extinguished in an instant in front of that cold Demonic Qi and was unable to inflict any damage on the swarm of demon rats.

Seeing the demon rats had already approached, amid a noisy chorus of squeaks, they opened their massive jaws, revealing sharp, pointed teeth unlike those of regular rats.

Crack!

The long dragon tail of the Two-headed Fire Dragon swept across, carrying black Silent Annihilation Thunder, and sent a large swath of demon rats flying, crashing back into the swarm and sparking arcs of electricity.

Yet even the Silent Annihilation Thunder couldn't penetrate the black Demonic Qi on those demon rats to inflict any substantial damage.

However, the dragon tail did solidly swipe across those demon rats, but the rats, tough in flesh and thick in skin, were hardly hurt by the force, shook their dizzy heads on the ground, and charged once again in a squealing frenzy.

Yin!

A mighty Seventh Rank Peak Demon Beast, after several attacks failed to harm the demon rats, grew angry. The two dragon horns on its boar heads exploded with intense Sword Intent and Blade Intent; a sky full of Sword Energy and Blade Energy condensed out of nowhere and slashed toward the swarm of demon rats.

The cold Demonic Qi could extinguish the Law Flames but not these Blade Energy and Sword Energy infused with the Power of Laws.

With a booming sound, swaths of demon rats were cleaved and sent flying, but they quickly got up again and madly charged forward.

The powerful Sword Energy and Blade Energy were all blocked by the layer of black Demonic Qi swirling around the demon rats, failing to cause them significant harm.

"Little pig, you are too weak, you lose every time. Step aside."

Seeing this, Chu Chen said with some disdain.

Yin!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon let out a plaintive roar. Ever since these two little demons had captured it, it had hardly made a few moves, but each time it was up against formidable enemies, seeming never to have won a single fight.

What kind of freaks are these two little demons encountering?

These demon rats only had the individual strength of about fifth or sixth rank, yet their Demonic Qi could easily withstand the attacks of a Seventh Rank Peak Demon Beast, which was outrageous.

And these dense swarms of demon rats were countless. Continuing to fight might result in the first Seventh Rank Peak Demon Beast exhausted to death.

"Is this Demonic Qi? It's even more obnoxious than the Demon Sword Saint's Demonic Qi."

Chu Chen muttered under his breath, a Giant Blade formed entirely from Divine Rune Power appeared in his hand, and with a fierce swing, brilliant Divine Rune Blade Energy slashed through the air.

Chuff!

Wherever the Divine Rune Blade Energy passed, the Demonic Qi dispersed, and the bodies of the demon rats were severed in half, spilling Demon Blood that corroded the ground.

Yin!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon issued a shallow dragon's roar, its elongated boar eyes staring blankly at the severed demon rats, heart full of shock.

These demon rats, which could easily block my full-fledged attacks, were so frail under this little demon's Blade Energy?

Could the gap between me and the little demon really be so profoundly deep?

Squeak Squeak!

The swarm of demon rats that had been crazily charging suddenly stopped, their blood-red violent eyes fixated on Chu Chen's Divine Rune Giant Blade, even showing a hint of fear.

They weren't afraid because their comrades were killed, but they were instinctively terrified of the Divine Rune Giant Blade flowing with the aura of divine runes, as if they had encountered a natural predator.

"Hm? This weak?"

Chu Chen looked at the Two-headed Fire Dragon with some confusion. Before, he had seen it struggle with all its might and still fail to kill a single Demon Rat. He had thought these Demon Rats were very strong, yet a mere flick of his wrist had slaughtered an entire group.

Am I too powerful, or is the Two-headed Fire Dragon too weak?

The Two-headed Fire Dragon couldn't help rolling its eyes, its self-esteem greatly damaged.

Chu Chen shook his head and swung the Divine Rune Giant Blade again, consecutively slashing out Divine Rune Blade Energies, causing swathes of Demon Rats to fall like rain.

Squeak squeak!

The originally frenzied crowd of Demon Rats now hesitated to advance; after many of them were slain, they scurried away in confusion, scattering in all directions.

Following the direction the Demon Rats fled, Chu Chen discovered countless passages around this Demon Cave.

"Dad said that rats are very good at burrowing. Indeed, they are somewhat better than me and my sister."

Chu Chen looked at the burrows, emitting a heartfelt admiration, murmuring softly, "It would be great if we could catch some big rats to dig burrows for us in the future. But my sister doesn't like rats, so never mind."

The dense crowd of Demon Rats soon vanished without a trace.

"Little Piggy, burn those rat corpses."

Chu Chen turned and spoke to the stupefied Two-headed Fire Dragon.

Groan!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon let out a dragon groan, then a Fire Sea rose, enveloping the corpses of the Demon Rats.

As the Demon Rats were killed, the Demonic Qi swirling around them was dispersed by the Divine Rune Blade Energy. Without the protection of Demonic Qi, the bodies of the Demon Rats could not withstand the burning of the Law Flames, and instantly turned to ash.

After the Demon Rat corpses were burned to ashes, Chu Chen then turned and called out to the burrows, "Sister, the big rats have all run away; you can come out now."

Chu Xin stretched her muddy little head out, looked around, and after seeing no big rats, she flew out, patting her chest and saying with lingering fear, "They finally ran away, all those big rats together, each so big, really disgusting. How can there be such disgusting Demon Beasts in this world, creatures like these shouldn't exist."

Groan!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon nodded its twin heads in agreement. A group of middle-rank Demon Beasts had severely embarrassed it, a Peak High-Rank, Seventh Rank Demon Beast—it should just wipe them all out.

"Sis, the big rats have run off; we should go check out the treasure."

Chu Chen reminded.

"Right, right, the treasure first." Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Chu Xin nodded, her body flickering to appear in front of a black coffin, scrutinizing it closely.

Chu Chen asked with some puzzlement, "Sis, doesn't this look like a coffin for burying people?"

"Not just looks like one, it is one."

After responding, Chu Xin muttered softly, "Those big rats must have been influenced by the Black Demonic Energy. There must be a great treasure inside."

Chu Chen doubted, "Sis, there isn't a person buried inside, is there?"

Chu Xin, who was about to lift the coffin lid, paused upon hearing this, thought for a moment, withdrew her hand, and placed her two snow-white hands together in front of her chest, continuously muttering, "Whether it's grandpas, grandmas, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, or younger siblings in the coffin, dad said not to let the treasures gather dust. It's such a waste for treasures to lie buried in this coffin with you. I'll help you take it out, so everyone can recognize it. No offense, no offense."

After finishing, she bowed deeply and then forcefully pushed the coffin lid.
