"Dead? That demonic elephant is dead!"

The Zhao family members' eyes swelled slightly, and tears slid down their cheeks.

"Yay! Big brother is so amazing!"

Several children cheered with joy.

"Dad?" Zhao Manjin rushed to Zhao Liangpeng's side. "Are you alright?"

Zhao Liangpeng shook his head, but his face was as pale as paper.

In order to allow the sword formation to slay the demonic elephant in one strike, he sacrificed a great deal of his blood...

Zhao Manjin quickly gave him a blood-tonifying medicine, which works fast and is suitable for emergencies.

After the needle was inserted, a sliver of color finally returned to Zhao Liangpeng's face.

Zhao Manjin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had fantasized about his father's unexpected death and his inheritance of the family fortune.

But that only exists in fantasy.

In reality, if Zhao Liangpeng were to die, there's a high probability that their branch of the family would be divided up and swallowed up by other branches.

After all, the Golden Core Ancestor had hundreds or even thousands of descendants, all of whom shared the surname Zhao. Some lived in remote cities, while others lived in more developed ones.

Zhao Liangpeng's branch of the family is only doing well in Xiande City...

Chen Yi looked at Zhao Liangpeng: "Chairman Zhao, what do you think we should do with this Frostbone Demon Elephant?"

"Hehe! This demon killed many of my relatives and friends, but he has finally been brought to his death. You deserve credit for this, and my Zhao family is willing to give you 70% of the spoils."

Chen Yi nodded.

After all, the death of the Frostbone Demon Elephant was due to the Zhao family's sword formation, and this place was the Zhao family's cave, so he certainly couldn't keep it all to himself.

If Zhao Liangpeng were to give him the entire corpse of the demon elephant, he wouldn't dare accept it, because it would mean that he owed the Zhao family a debt of gratitude.

Moreover, the losses suffered by the Zhao family due to this demonic elephant were far greater than those paid by Chen Yi; the fact that the Zhao family suffered 30% was merely to give an explanation to their clansmen.

The real lion's share went to Chen Yi.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Chen Yi directed the Yangwen Sword to slice open the corpse of the Frostbone Demon Elephant.

"Clang!"

He acquired the elephant head.

The most valuable part of this Frostbone Elephant is its ivory.

Chen Yi simply discarded the rest of the body.

Aside from the tusks, the rest of the elephant head was enough to feed the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python and the Crimson Flame Bird.

It is believed that once they have fully digested the bloodline of the Earth Roaring Dragon and the flesh and blood of the Frostbone Demon Elephant, advancing to the mid-stage Great Demon realm will not be difficult.

It wasn't just a barely passing promotion; it was a huge leap forward, paving the way for becoming a powerful demon later on...

At this moment, on the rooftop of a building inside the Zhao Family Cave, a simply dressed figure stood quietly.

Su Xin frowned slightly.

She had promised Chen Yi that she would not bother him again.

But in order not to disgrace her master's orders, she still followed from a distance.

She had originally thought that if Chen Yi encountered danger, she could lend a helping hand.

What she didn't expect was that Chen Yi's strength had already reached this level...

"This is the seedling of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage?"

There was another reason why Su Xin came along.

This isn't a school; if Chen Yi doesn't want to go with her, she can force him.

But now that she has witnessed Chen Yi's strength, she has become somewhat distressed.

The strength he just displayed is already comparable to hers.

The Frostbone Elephant had already suffered serious injuries, but it forcibly froze its wounds with ice crystals, which reduced its strength.

Even so, if she were to take the stage, she wouldn't perform much better than Chen Yi...

Given this consideration, it would be very difficult to forcibly take Chen Yi away.

"His movement techniques are incredibly skillful, and he also possesses a minor supernatural ability. The power of his various spells is also much stronger than when he first showed them to me. He can even perfectly fuse two spells of different attributes. Is this person truly from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom?" Su Xin felt extremely puzzled.

But she had investigated Chen Yi's background and didn't sense anything unusual.

Could this person truly be a chosen one?

The so-called "chosen one" is someone her master described as someone who can influence the fate of a nation.

In a cultivation country like the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, which is extremely reliant on luck, how could the higher-ups not notice the emergence of such a chosen one?

Or am I just overthinking it?

Su Xin shook her head.

In fact, Chen Yi had anticipated that Su Xin would come along, although he didn't know where she was currently spying on him...

But since he dared to leave the school, he must have been confident that he wouldn't be captured by Su Xin.

Even if his own strength is still somewhat lacking, with the addition of the python and the sparrow, the other party may not be able to kidnap him.

At this moment, he led the Zhao family out of the cave.

Although he initially came to rescue Hou Xiangheng and Zhao Manjin only after accepting the requests of Yu Wanbai and Sun Yu.

But there are still some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the Zhao family. We can't let them stay in this ruin, can we?

Although the Zhao family ancestral hall can withstand demonic beasts below the level of the Demon Lord, even the Zhao family cannot maintain it for long.

That's why Zhao Liangpeng suggested escorting the Zhao family to Xiande Middle School.

Outside the Zhao family's cave, many demonic beasts were also lurking.

However, most of the monsters lingering outside the cave are level 1 monsters with ordinary bloodlines.

The Zhao family's cave dwelling is imbued with the aura of the Earth-Raging Dragon and the Frost-Bone Demon Elephant, making it too dangerous for ordinary demonic beasts to enter.

In addition, there aren't many wealthy families living on this mountain, so the number of monsters isn't too high.

Now, when they see someone walking out of the cave, they dare not approach, because Zhao Liangpeng's aura is enough to instill fear in many demonic beasts.

"Bang!"

Some fools were burned to death by Chen Yi's fireball spell.

To his dismay, the monsters he killed after leaving school did not count as battle merits.

"Coach Ma is still as cunning as ever; only battle merits earned while protecting the school count, while those earned elsewhere are disregarded..."

Of course, it is also possible that he came here with the token, which exceeded the monitoring range of the school's magic, so the battle merit could not be effectively recorded.

"I'm still short of three hundred merit points, I need to get back to school as soon as possible," Chen Yi thought to himself.

The "Eternal Spring Skill" was given to the school by Su Xin. If the beast tide suddenly ends and he hasn't paid off his war merits, who knows what kind of leverage he might have against him.

......

When the group arrived near Xiande Middle School, the density of the beast tide had reached a level that made Zhao Liangpeng's scalp tingle.

Even with students on holiday and traffic jams, it's not this bad.

All sorts of monsters, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and even swimming in the water, gathered in this vicinity.

Strange figures filled the streets, alleys, and sky, their eerie aura sending chills down people's spines.

The light screen was crawling with all kinds of monsters, large and small, tearing at the barrier, trying to break in and start the feast.

What surprised Zhao Liangpeng even more was that the formation of Xiande Middle School had actually held up until now.

Even with a large number of teachers at Xiande Middle School, it was unlikely that it would have lasted this long, according to his expectations.

Those that truly survive to the end are often the cave dwellings of the major families.

What he didn't know was that the formation, improved by Chen Yi, not only had excellent defensive capabilities but was also strong enough to withstand the simultaneous attacks of three fully-fledged demons.

It is also top-notch in terms of energy consumption, repair speed, and stability.

With the large number of teachers and students now gathered at Xiande Middle School, it seems poised to become the last sanctuary in the entire city...

"Clang!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the horde of beasts, and the demon beasts blocking its way froze for a moment before being sliced ​​into pieces.

It was Zhao Liangpeng who made the move.

Chen Yi also took action, continuously clearing away the obstacles in his path.

It's worth mentioning that once you get here, the battle merit tokens return to normal.

"Whoosh!"

Even Chen Yi's afterimages were relentlessly killing.

Wherever he went, there were victories to be made!

Even Zhao Liangpeng was taken aback by the cleaning efficiency...
