Chapter 761: A True Hero Recognizes the Situation and Acts Accordingly
"A demon?"
The moment the Dragon Dancer was taken, Chu Liang reacted instantly. As the strongest cultivator present, he became a gust of wind, darting after the fleeing figure.
The shadowy figure moved swiftly, gliding through the alleys of the City of Azure Waves like a wisp of black smoke. In mere moments, it had already escaped beyond the city walls, leaving behind a faint trail of demonic qi.
However, Chu Liang had already closed the distance. Seeing the shadowy figure right in front, he raised his Demon-Slaying Sword high!
As he was scared that he might accidentally hurt the Dragon Dancer, Chu Liang slashed with only twenty percent of his true strength.
This strike might not kill the Dragon Dancer, but it would be fatal for the black demonic entity ahead!
A brilliant arc of sword light tore through the night sky, striking the target in an instant. A burst of blood erupted from within the swirling black mist, and the figure plummeted from the air, crashing into the dense forest below.
By now, they had left the city far behind. The wilderness stretched endlessly beneath them, shrouded in darkness. Chu Liang descended swiftly, following the lingering trail of demonic qi. Within moments, he caught up to the culprit again. However, there was no sign of the figure and only a blood-stained demon core lying on the ground.
Chu Liang immediately understood the situation.
No wonder his Demon-Slaying Sword hadn’t reacted as it would against a demon. The target turned out to not be an actual demonic creature but a human.
This person had killed a demon beforehand and carried the demon core in their mouth while kidnapping the Dragon Dancer, creating the illusion of a demon abducting a human. If needed, they could discard the core mid-flight, throwing off any pursuers.
