Chapter 50 The Furnace Cracks
Until the hour of Hai.

Three thousand demons were slaughtered by Chen Xian and others, and only more than three hundred escaped back to the other side of the blood river.

Chen Xian killed thousands of demons alone.

All the demon-suppressing soldiers looked at Chen Xian in fear. Even though Chen Xian saved them, there was no sign of gratitude on their faces.

Chen Xian didn't care and returned to Black Wind Valley with his gun.

"How are Brother Wang, Brother Fei and the others?" he asked.

Ding Chen's face was solemn: "The injury has stabilized, and his life is not in danger!"

Hearing this, Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

He went forward to take a closer look and found that Wang Yan's right waist was pierced by the gunfire and the wound was healing.

Qin Fei's left thigh was pierced and the wound was healing.

Luo Ying and Xue Qishan were less seriously injured and were sitting cross-legged to move blood and recuperate.

The other cooks were seriously injured and still unconscious, while those with minor injuries were recovering.

Chen Xian swept his eyes around and saw that 31 of the 299 people died, more than 20 of them were seriously injured, and more than 50 were slightly injured.

There are still 189 people who can fight, including him.

At this time, Ding Chen asked: "What about Chen Quanwu?"

Chen Xian's eyes flashed and he said, "A heroic sacrifice!"

Ding Chen said nothing more.

Soon, the surviving demon-suppressing soldiers under Chen Quanwu's command also came to the outside of the Black Wind Valley, carrying the bodies of Chen Quanwu and the dead soldiers.

Ding Chen looked and saw that there were still more than 700 soldiers alive out of the Thousand Riders who were sent to suppress demons.

"Humph!"

The lieutenant's name was Li Yongli, and he snorted coldly from a distance.

Chen Quanwu died. He temporarily took charge of everyone and started to tidy up the group not far from Chen Xian and others, arranging the bodies of Chen Quanwu and others one by one.

He then ordered people to go to the Qilifeng battlefield to clean up the corpses of the demons.

Chen Xian also asked the cooks to clean up the battlefield.

Around midnight.

A cold rain fell in the blood-red night sky.

Above the Blood River Forest, several figures collided and a fierce battle ensued.

Chen Xian took a look from afar and saw that the battle was still going on over there. The ones colliding in the void were the Black Tiger King and other great monsters, as well as Pei Menglong, Zhong Lian and others, and one of them was the female major general.

"Li Sheng, Zhong Lian!"

There was a murderous intent flashing in Chen Xian's eyes.

When fighting with Zhong Lian before, Zhong Lian’s strength was around the late Lingkong stage.

It may be due to his age, long-term practice, and accumulated rich experience, coupled with his extremely rich combat experience.

Although Chen Xian injured Zhong Lian, it was not enough to kill him.

Unless he upgrades the [Vajra Dragon Elephant Art] to the Dragon Elephant Realm, with strength greater than a thousand tripods, he will be able to kill Zhong Lian with a single palm strike.

Call up the panel:

[Experience: 644572 points]

In the previous battle, I earned 33 experience points.

Experience points accumulate more and more.

Chen Xian was not in a hurry. He would upgrade the [Vajra Dragon Elephant Art] a little bit when he had time. At the same time, he was also deducing the [Bull Demon Golden Body Art] to see if he could use the panel to continue deducing and improve the grade of the [Bull Demon Golden Body Art].

If one can also achieve top-grade cultivation techniques, the power will naturally increase tenfold.

The cold rain stopped after midnight.

The fighting over the Blood River Forest also stopped. Neither side could do anything to the other, so they both retreated.

Chen Xian and others stayed in the Black Wind Valley until dawn, cut monster meat and grilled it to satisfy their hunger. After eating and drinking their fill, they ordered the cooks to send the brothers who died in the battle last night back to the camp, register them, and take them to Wumeng Mountain for burial.

He took Ding Chen and others to Qili Peak.

"Chen Xian, what are you going to do?" Li Yongli stood up from a distance.

"Is it your business?" Chen Xian glanced coldly.

Li Yongli snorted coldly, "When you go to the battlefield, you have to obey the deployment of the front army. Captain Chen died. I am in charge of this place temporarily. You have to obey my orders."

Chen Xian sneered, shook his head and walked forward.

Chen Quanwu is dead, I will listen to your orders, who do you think you are? Just as I walked a short distance, a group of cavalry came quickly from the northeast, about fifteen people.

Everyone was surrounded by a bloody murderous aura.

Chen Xian looked calmly and saw that the person leading the group was Pei Gang.

"Chen Xian!"

Pei Gang came riding forward.

"Greetings, Captain Pei!" Chen Xian dismounted and saluted.

Everyone followed suit and dismounted.

Pei Gang said: "There's no need to be polite on the battlefield. Where's Chen Quanwu?"

Chen Xian said: "He died in a fierce battle with the Demon King last night!"

Pei Gang frowned: "He can't stop the demon king?"

Chen Quanwu Yuhai has achieved minor success, so he can't stop the Demon King but he won't be killed, right?
At this time, Li Yongli came on horseback and appeared in front of Pei Gang, dismounted and saluted.

"Captain Pei, it's all Chen Xian's fault. He was the one who watched Captain Chen die without rescuing him!" After Li Yongli saluted, he pointed the finger directly at Chen Xian.

Pei Gang frowned: "What do you mean?"

Li Yongli immediately recounted what happened last night, but did not mention that someone attacked and killed Chen Xian and others.

Chen Xian had no expression on his face, but Ding Chen said coldly: "Speak, why don't you finish?"

Pei Gang glanced at Ding Chen: "Anything else?"

Ding Chen nodded and told the story of Zhong Lian bringing people to attack and kill them.

Pei Gang heard this and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you bunch of soldiers. Major General Zhong Lian was fighting against the demons in the east last night, and then he fought with the Black Tiger King and others. How could he come here to attack you?"

"Besides, why would he attack you?"

Ding Chen certainly knew the reason, but it was too pale and powerless to put it into words, and Pei Gang might not believe it.

He glanced at Li Yongli and said, "Captain Li and the others also heard it. Before Chen Quanwu died, he called out the name of Major General Zhong Lian and asked for help, but Major General Zhong Lian watched him die without helping."

Pei Gang was slightly stunned, and couldn't help looking at Li Yongli: "Is this true?"

Li Yongli's eyes flashed quickly. It was true. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Captain Pei, there was indeed a group of cavalrymen who came to help us kill the monsters. It was Chen Xian who rushed towards them, shouting the name of Major General Zhong Lian. Our captain was being surrounded and killed by the Monster King and his men, so he didn't see clearly. He only cried for help when he heard Chen Xian calling him!"

Li Yongli is talking nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Ding Chen and others gnashed their teeth in anger.

Pei Gang frowned. He did not believe what Li Yongli said, but he also did not believe what Chen Xian said.

"Since Chen Quanwu is dead, the southwest corner will be under the command of Chen Xian!" He said in a deep voice, "This is General Pei's order. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xian and said, "I'll leave it to you. Hold on for another two days, and the Eighth and Tenth Battalions will come to support us!"

"It's Captain Pei!" Chen Xian nodded.

Pei Gang said nothing more and left quickly with his men.

Li Yongli's head was buzzing as he watched Pei Gang and the others leaving. He couldn't understand why he should listen to Chen Xian. He was just a lieutenant cook. Why should he listen to him?

"Lieutenant Li, listen to my orders!" Chen Xian said indifferently.

Li Yongli came back to his senses and looked at Chen Xian. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lieutenant Chen ordered!"

"Take the demon-suppressing soldiers to guard Qili Peak. This lieutenant and his men will support us from the rear. Go quickly!" Chen Xian said indifferently.

"……Yes!"

Li Yongli clenched his fists and a very dissatisfied voice came out from between his teeth.

Chen Xian didn't care about his expression and just killed him if he didn't listen.

Return to Black Wind Valley.

Chen Xian asked everyone to sit cross-legged and practice to improve their strength, and he also used the panel to deduce the [Bull Demon Golden Body Technique].

Li Yongli could only grit his teeth and lead his men to Qili Peak.

[After a thousand months of hard thinking and research, your subsequent skills of the Bull Demon Golden Body Technique have made no progress]

[After three thousand months of day and night practice, your Bull Demon Golden Body Technique follow-up skills have failed twenty-one times and hurt Yu Hai's lungs twenty-one times]

A cracking sound was heard from the Jade Sea Furnace.

Chen Xian's face changed drastically.
