As expected, this snow-white demon king was extremely fast. In a single pounce, it reached Leng Yue and opened its mouth to bite at Leng Yue's neck.
Suddenly, a long sword appeared in Leng Yue's hand. She moved swiftly, dodging the attack, and thrust the sword at the wolf demon's neck with a backhand motion.
However, the wolf demon was also extremely fast. With a sudden swing of its right paw, it slammed hard into the sword in Leng Yue's hand.
The human and the demon then began to fight.
Lu Chen watched the battle from the sidelines. Leng Yue was very fast, but this demon king was by no means simple either. Its defense was extremely strong, and its snow-white fur was incredibly tough.
The longsword in Leng Yue's hand was no ordinary weapon; it was at least a top-grade spiritual artifact. However, growing on this snow-white fur, it could only leave a shallow wound before getting stuck.
This demon king's strength far surpasses that of ordinary demon kings in the outside world.
Lu Chen was startled.
"Do you need any help?"
Lu Chen suddenly roared.
Leng Yue gritted her teeth. She didn't want to need Lu Chen's help in her first battle; that would make her seem too useless.
Suddenly, a sword light exploded, and the entire sky was shrouded in countless sword energies. The demon king dodged continuously, but this move still left several wounds on its body.
However, the wounds are very minor, and with its healing ability, it can recover completely in just a short time.
But at that moment, Leng Yue suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly, she appeared on the wolf demon's lower abdomen, raised her long sword, and thrust it into its belly.
The wolf demon couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed squarely in the lower abdomen, which was the wolf demon's weak point. The arrow pierced through it.
The violent sword energy exploded along the wolf demon's abdomen, quickly turning the pill's body into a pile of mangled flesh.
The wolf demon reacted extremely quickly, knowing that it was doomed, so it chose to self-destruct its inner core in a desperate attempt to take everyone down with it.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion rang out, sending endless shockwaves surging outwards and overturning everything around it.
The wolf demon was blown to pieces. At this critical moment, Lu Chen suddenly rushed over and shielded Leng Yue with his body.
The endless waves of air crashed into Lu Chen, but quickly vanished without a trace, while Leng Yue in front of Lu Chen remained completely unharmed.
If Lu Chen hadn't suddenly appeared and shielded Leng Yue from the terrifying self-destruction, Leng Yue would have been seriously injured, even if she hadn't died. After all, she was too close, right in the center of the explosion.
This was, after all, an incredibly large demon king; its inner core alone was larger than Leng Yue herself.
Lu Chen was somewhat surprised when he saw the huge pit in front of him.
He did kill quite a few demonic beasts, but the demonic beasts that died at his hands didn't even have time to self-destruct before Lu Chen directly destroyed their souls.
What a waste of such a precious inner core.
Leng Yue still felt lingering fear. She glanced at Lu Chen, smiled, and said, "You saved my life again."
"What? So touched you want to repay me with your body? I don't mind."
A smile appeared on Lu Chen's face. Suddenly, an idea struck him: he would give her a reward first.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yue was suddenly stunned, and her face flushed red.
Lu Chen was stunned when he saw this. He suddenly realized that after spending time together, coupled with the strength he had shown and the help he had given Leng Yue on several occasions, the beautiful young woman had probably developed a slight liking for him.
If someone suddenly says something like that half-jokingly at this moment, people might think it's a genuine confession.
As expected, Leng Yue fell silent, turning her head away shyly, seemingly still struggling with something in her heart. She had never been a proactive person, and countless men had expressed their love for her throughout her life. However, none of them had ever made her lose her composure like Lu Chen.
Leng Yue was extremely nervous at this moment, and her heart was trembling slightly.
She eagerly awaited to hear what Lu Chen would say next.
However, upon seeing this scene, Lu Chen dared not continue his confession. He immediately pretended to be indifferent and said, "Just kidding, don't mind it. Let's go. We just killed one, and it self-destructed. We didn't even leave its head. It probably doesn't count. We'll have to hunt six more."
"Um."
Leng Yue felt a little disappointed, but she quickly came back to her senses when it came to serious matters.
She secretly blamed herself, wondering if she was overthinking things. The other person was just joking, but she had taken it seriously, making the atmosphere so awkward now.
Fortunately, I had my back turned; otherwise, if Lu Chen had seen me, it would have been incredibly embarrassing.
Little did she know that Lu Chen had already seen through her expression and reaction.
The two continued searching for the aura of the demonic beasts. After the battle just now, and the self-destruction of the demon king, the shockwaves from the battle were too intense, and the surrounding demonic beasts had long been frightened away.
Lu Chen and Leng Yue continued their journey towards a mountain range, venturing deep into its depths before finally finding the second demonic beast.
It was also a demon king.
Lu Chen even suspected that all the demonic beasts inside were probably demon kings. After all, entering this Hidden Dragon meant facing experts at the Heavenly Martial Realm level, and ordinary great demons probably wouldn't be enough to kill them.
After all, these are the elite of the human race.
The second monster was a gigantic serpent, and it was a two-headed serpent.
Upon seeing Lu Chen and Leng Yue, the two-headed giant snake immediately launched an attack, its two enormous heads lunging towards them.
