Chapter 1010.1: Advancing Southward - Part 1
With Chen Chao’s appearance atop the city wall, the news that Great Liang’s young Lord Warden Commander had fought the Demon Emperor to a standstill spread throughout the world. It was no different from giving the cultivators who wished to aid Great Liang in resisting the demon race a reassuring guarantee.
After all, whether it was the million-strong demon army or those demon lords infamous for their brutality, those were not actually what worried everyone most. What worried them most was that Demon Emperor seated within the Demon Domain. His fearsome reputation was simply too overwhelming. Among the cultivators of the world, no one dared claim they could match him. But now that Chen Chao had appeared, they naturally felt reassured.
With this young Lord Warden Commander around, great undertakings were not impossible.
If fortune favored them, not only could they stop the demon army from marching south, they might even reclaim the desolate north. If that happened, they too would leave behind their own mark in the annals of history.
But in truth, after Chen Chao left the city wall, his injuries had already begun worsening rapidly. Half a day later, he could no longer even stand.
Lying upon the couch in the General’s Office, blood once again flowed uncontrollably from the corners of Chen Chao’s mouth. Sitting beside the bed, Xie Nandu continuously wiped the blood away from the young martial artist’s lips.
Yu Xiyi paced anxiously around the room. Looking at the young martial artist whose aura was growing weaker and weaker, the great sword immortal gritted his teeth and said, “How about we bring Zhu Xia here?”
Yun Jianyue glanced at Yu Xiyi, then at Chen Chao, and shook his head.
Chen Chao gave a bitter smile. “I underestimated the Demon Emperor somewhat. He left a hidden move inside my body. No wonder he chose to leave so easily at the banks of the Onan River.”
