Ch 319: Gugu Duyasi
After achieving consecutive victories in Hula City and Dongqi A City, the troops led by Chen Dian have seen a significant increase in strength. However, to achieve final victory, the current strength is far from enough. Faced with this reality, Chen Dian began to investigate his next plan of action.
After careful consideration, Chen Dian discovered that there was currently no immediate solution. Due to the rampant demons, the population in the surrounding areas has been greatly reduced, making it difficult to find enough suitable people to reorganize into the troops. Especially the previous army, they could not have disappeared out of thin air.
Chen Dian realized that relying solely on existing strength would not achieve the ultimate goal. Therefore, he decided to adopt a more proactive tactic— personally leading Suying to more distant places to search for potential recruits and resources.
Before setting off, Chen Dian made detailed deployments to Dong Dongtula and others. He demanded that they must ensure the defense of Yu City, Hula City, and Dongqi A City, ensuring the safety of these cities. At the same time, he admonished them to remain still and wait for his return, lest accidents occur during his absence.
After making all the arrangements, Chen Dian and Suying embarked on their journey, they would cross unknown lands, to explore those places that might hide strength and hope. Chen Dian decided that He City would be their first stop.
Chen Dian and Suying experienced hardships along the way, roughing it, finally arriving at He City. However, when they entered the city, they were shocked by the scene before them. The once prosperous and lively He City was now deathly silent, the streets deserted, the houses dilapidated, as if it had suffered a terrible disaster.
Anxiety surged in Chen Dian’s heart, he did not dare to be negligent, and immediately led Suying to conduct a thorough search in the mountains near He City. They carefully crossed the dense forest, climbed steep mountain peaks, not letting go of any place where demons might be hiding.
Just as they were investigating deep into the mountains, a chilling aura suddenly swept over them, making their hair stand on end. Chen Dian and Suying cautiously stopped, and looked closely, only to see a huge demon, whose whole body emanated an evil light, appearing before them. This demon was the great demon Hatua that they had been searching for.
Hatua, seeing Chen Dian and Suying, let out a burst of wild laughter, the sound deafening, “Hahahaha, you two mortals who don’t know when to die, you actually delivered yourselves to my door!” His eyes revealed contempt and disdain for humans.
Chen Dian firmly grasped his weapon, his eyes fixed on Hatua, fearlessly responding, “You evil demon, today is your end!” Having said that, he unhesitatingly charged forward, engaging Hatua in a thrilling and fierce battle.
Suying was not to be outdone, she quickly cast her spells, beams of light like meteors streaked across the sky, heading straight for Hatua. Seeing this, Hatua roared angrily, wielding its huge claws, easily repelling Suying’s spells.
However, Chen Dian and Suying were not intimidated by Hatua’s strength, they cooperated closely, supporting each other. Chen Dian agilely dodged Hatua’s attacks, while simultaneously looking for its weaknesses; Suying continuously released various spells, interfering with Hatua’s vision.
Hatua’s strength was indeed very powerful, each attack carried overwhelming power, making it difficult to resist. But the tacit understanding between Chen Dian and Suying gradually allowed them to gain the upper hand in the battle.
Just as they were confident and believed that they could easily defeat Hatua, the unexpected happened. Hatua suddenly let out a earth-shattering roar, deafening, as if the whole world trembled. At the same time, the already intense evil light on its body, like a volcanic eruption, instantly increased several times, making people dumbfounded.
Even more astonishing, with this roar, Hatua actually summoned a large number of minor demons. These minor demons, like locusts crossing the border, swarmed towards Chen Dian and Suying, surrounding them.
Chen Dian and Suying were caught off guard and immediately fell into a predicament of being attacked from both sides. Their original plan was completely disrupted, and their original advantage vanished in an instant. Chen Dian gritted his teeth, struggling to withstand Hatua’s fierce attacks, while also having to protect Suying from the harm of the minor demons.
Although Suying’s spells were powerful, facing so many minor demons, she gradually felt overwhelmed. Her attacks could repel some minor demons, but soon more minor demons would fill the gaps, making her struggle to deal with them.
Just as they felt despair, a dazzling light suddenly streaked across the sky, like lightning. Then, a mysterious figure, like a god descending, descended from the sky. This mysterious person was wearing a black robe, holding a gleaming precious sword, his appearance seemed to give Chen Dian and Suying a glimmer of hope.
After landing, the mysterious person, without saying a word, wielded his precious sword like a storm. The sword light flashed, and wherever it passed, the minor demons screamed and fell to their deaths. In a blink of an eye, the dense crowd of minor demons was slaughtered, and the corpses of minor demons lay scattered on the ground.
After dealing with the minor demons, the mysterious person turned and joined forces with Chen Dian to confront Hatua. Under the attack of the three, Hatua gradually felt exhausted, and its attacks became increasingly weak.
Finally, Chen Dian seized a perfect opportunity, he used all his strength, and fiercely stabbed Hatua’s vital point. This sword was as fast as lightning, Hatua had no time to dodge. With a “poof”, the blade plunged deep into Hatua’s body.
Hatua let out a shrill scream, as if the whole world trembled. The sound was like the wail of an evil ghost, making people’s hair stand on end. With this scream, Hatua’s body trembled violently, as if struck by a powerful force. Then, it slowly fell, like a toppled tower, collapsing to the ground.
With Hatua’s fall, the evil aura that had originally filled the air seemed to have lost its support and quickly dissipated. The surrounding environment gradually returned to calm, sunlight shone on the ground again, a gentle breeze blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
Chen Dian stood there, looking at Hatua’s corpse, his nervousness finally eased slightly. He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, as if he had regained his life. Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows.
Chen Dian looked closely, and saw that this person was wearing a black robe, his face was covered by a veil, and his true features could not be seen. The mysterious person walked to Chen Dian and softly said, “I have been watching this battle, knowing that you are fighting against the demons to save humanity, so I have come to help.”
Chen Dian looked at the mysterious person gratefully, and quickly said, “Thank you for your help, if you hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to defeat this demon today.” He paused, and then asked, “May I ask your honorable name?”
The mysterious person smiled slightly, and slowly lifted the veil. The moment the veil was lifted, Chen Dian’s eyes widened, because the one who appeared before him was a stunning woman.
The woman’s skin was as white as snow, her silky hair gently fell on her shoulders, and her eyes were like deep lakes, full of endless gentleness and wisdom. Her lips were slightly upturned, revealing a faint smile.
The woman looked at Chen Dian’s surprised expression and softly laughed, “I come from the past, I know you are Chen Dian, the ancestor of Da Chen Kingdom. I’m basically from the same era as you, but I’m from Fengfeng Kingdom on the Kankan Dura star. My name is Gugu Duyasi.”
Chen Dian was very surprised to have met someone from another country. Gugu Duyasi continued, “I know you are working hard to expand your troops and fight against demons, and my Fengfeng Kingdom has also suffered greatly from the demons, I am willing to join hands with you to fight against the demons.” Chen Dian was overjoyed, and immediately discussed the follow-up plans with Gugu Duyasi. They decided to rest in He City first, and at the same time find out why the people in this city disappeared, to see if they could find usable resources. During the rest period, Gugu Duyasi shared Fengfeng Kingdom’s experience in fighting demons with Chen Dian and Suying. A few days later, they set off again, intending to go to the next city. Chen Dian knew that the road ahead was still full of difficulties and dangers, but with Gugu Duyasi’s joining, he felt more hope in his heart. They would continue to explore this land full of crisis, fighting for the future of humanity, seeking more strength, and fighting against the endless demons.
They had not gone far from He City when they encountered a group of suspicious people. These people avoided eye contact and seemed to be deliberately hiding something. Chen Dian and others became alert and stopped them. After questioning them, they learned that these people had escaped from the next city—Ling City. It turned out that Ling City was now controlled by a mysterious dark force, and the city dwellers were suffering. After hearing this, Chen Dian and others decided to change their plans and go to Ling City to save the people. When they arrived at Ling City, they found that the situation here was even worse than He City. A strange aura filled the streets, the houses were shrouded in darkness, and from time to time they could hear the cries for help from the people. Chen Dian, Suying, and Gugu Duyasi immediately took action and went deep into the city to investigate the source of the dark force. During the search, they encountered various strange demons and traps, but with their cooperation and respective abilities, they overcame them one by one. Finally, they found the lair of the dark force. However, what awaited them was an even stronger and more mysterious enemy, a new fierce battle was about to begin.
