"There's one more, oh dear, it got away!"
Zhang Chen watched as another black smoke dissipated without any reaction.
Only after the other party had vanished without a trace did Zhang Chen speak to the faceless demon spirit.
"You clearly had the power to destroy it, why did you let it escape?!"
The faceless demon spirit asked curiously.
"Because I need one to escape and report back!"
Zhang Chen replied.
"Report back? You don't mean to lure the gods out to deal with you directly, do you?!"
"Hahaha, you are truly naive. With your strength, you are no match for the gods at all, and you don't even warrant the great gods' attention."
"They can easily release a few legendary demon spirits to crush you and all the other powerhouses!"
The faceless demon spirit said smugly.
"No, you've misunderstood. I want it to tell the gods that it was you who brought me around to slaughter emerging demon spirits!"
Zhang Chen chuckled and then brought the girl, who also bore a teleportation talisman, back to the Corpse Collector's Guild.
He then activated the teleportation again and arrived at another battlefield.
The demon spirits here were even stronger, actually rank six, ring seven demon spirits, as powerful as the silver demon spirit's clone last time.
A giant worm dozens of meters long, its skin covered with hard carapaces, had its head filled with human heads.
These heads bore expressions of pain and ferocity, crying out in agony.
Above the giant worm, more than a dozen rank three and four flying demon spirits circled continuously.
It was as if they were waiting to feast on the human scraps left by the worm.
"Hey, big guy, found you. Thank you, little demon spirit!"
Zhang Chen gently patted the spiritual energy cage that trapped the faceless demon spirit and said with a smile.
"Don't spout nonsense. It wasn't me who brought him here. This is all a misunderstanding!"
"Look, I'm in the cage too!"
The faceless demon spirit shouted anxiously.
"Ah! Eek! Ooooh!"
The human heads on the giant worm's body let out groans of pain.
At the same time, dozens of pairs of eyes on these human heads turned towards Zhang Chen's direction.
"Don't worry, this spiritual energy shield will ensure your safety. You'll be fine!"
Zhang Chen said to the faceless demon spirit with a smile.
"This is clearly a cage! You call it protection, you! You!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. This man is utterly wicked!"
The faceless demon spirit yelled desperately at the giant worm.
"Ooooh!"
The giant worm slowly moved towards Zhang Chen.
"Heh, your speed is quite comparable to mine!"
Zhang Chen sneered.
*Pop!*
Suddenly, one of the human heads on the worm opened its mouth.
A searing beam of light shot out from its mouth.
*Bang!* It struck the faceless demon spirit's cage.
Just as the cage was about to shatter, Zhang Chen replenished some energy, making the cage even sturdier.
"No way! You actually believe I'm a traitor? I'm not!"
The faceless demon spirit shouted in the demon spirit language.
"Although I don't know what you're saying, I can feel your nervousness. That's enough for me!"
"You dare to attack my good friend, then you can only die!"
As Zhang Chen spoke, he confidently rushed forward, concentrating all his strength into his right fist.
*Bang!*
A dull thud!
The giant worm was sent tumbling backward by Zhang Chen's strike, rolling three or four times before stopping.
"This big bug is actually quite tricky!"
Zhang Chen frowned.
With this punch, a rank four or five demon spirit would likely have been sent flying.
Yet, this worm only rolled a few times before stopping?!
Meanwhile, Zhao Xiyue and the other girls from Phoenix Academy, who had been dodging and weaving and expending a lot of energy, were all stunned.
"He knocked over such a monster for several turns with just one punch?!"
"This uncle... is so strong!"
"Ah! Woo! Eek! ~"
The giant worm roared again, all the mouths on its heads opening. Beams of spiritual energy converged into a thick stream, smashing towards Zhang Chen.
"Just as I wanted!"
Zhang Chen did not dare to delay and raised his hands.
Two relatively smaller energy beams rose against the worm's beam, erupting in a dazzling brilliance!
