Chapter 702
“Grandfather Chen, let me fight alongside you! Those three demons have terrifying cultivation — they won’t be easy to deal with.”
Xiao Yan hurried forward, her expression tense.
She could sense that Grandfather Chen’s cultivation was only slightly above her own — certainly not yet at the seventh transformation of the late-stage Golden Core Realm. Against the three demonic cultivators before them, his power would seem lacking.
Moreover, she could feel from their sinister aura that these were likely Nascent Soul–level demonic cultivators who had somehow survived from the last Immortal Era. Their mastery of dark and twisted sorceries made them extremely dangerous. Grandfather Chen might not be able to handle them alone.
But the old doctor only waved his hand gently, signaling her not to worry.
“It’s all right. These demons may be fierce, but they are not invincible.”
He paused, eyes calm as still water.
“Not long ago, a demon similar to them attacked the village. I injured him heavily and forced him to flee. Unfortunately, I failed to end his life. I wonder if he’ll return to trouble the world again.”
His words caused everyone nearby to fall silent in shock.
“What did you say, old man?”
