The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 719 - 621: Soul Reaper

"Oh?"

Yang Tian looked at Chen Xiaoli.

Although Chen Xiaoli seemed to be a loli around seven or eight years old on the surface, having been born into the Chen Family, her understanding of human affairs was much richer than someone her age.

"About ten days ago, there was a time when I saw my dad talking with several tall beings in the back courtyard. I noticed them. That day my dad drove away without a word. I secretly took a taxi to follow him for an hour until we reached a deserted ancient village on the outskirts..."

Chen Xiaoli recalled as she spoke.

"Alright then, little sister, you lead us to the village, and we destroy the Corpse Demons. That way, the Chen Family will be safe!"

Wu Yue said softly.

"I can take you to the Corpse Demons' lair, but I want you to release my dad!"

Chen Xiaoli raised her head and said seriously.

On her little face smeared with corpse-red was a maturity not found in her peers.

"About that..."

Wu Yue was also reluctant to make the decision. She looked toward Yang Tian.

Yang Tian squatted down, wiping the bloodstains from Chen Xiaoli's face, and smiled, "Of course, we can do that. As long as we find the Corpse Demons' lair in Huaxia, your dad will gain merit for his mistakes and certainly can be released. Even if the Chen Family disagrees, I can let him go."

"Then I trust you!"

Chen Xiaoli nodded heavily.

For some reason, from the very first glance at Yang Tian, Chen Xiaoli felt that the elder brother standing before her had an air of a king.

This made her feel that Yang Tian could be absolutely trusted.

As long as Yang Tian agreed to her, even if Madam Chen intervened, Yang Tian could help her accomplish it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoli said, "I'll take you to find where the Corpse Demons are stationed now, and when we return, you must immediately release my dad, even if my grandmother opposes, you must keep your promise!"

"Of course, we can."

Yang Tian smiled.

He felt that Chen Xiaoli's personality was very resolute and decisive. Such a loli was the easiest to become a great person.

"Lili, Tian is your uncle, you can call him uncle from now on!" Madam Chen doubled back, "As long as you lead Uncle Tian to find the Corpse Demons' lair, for the Chen Family, it will be a great merit, whatever you ask for, grandma will agree to!"

Chen Xiaoli nodded.

She didn't speak much, glanced at the dead Chen Hong on the ground, and then looked in the direction where Chen Shangliang disappeared, she steadfastly walked out.

At the moment, Yang Tian, Wu Yue, Ling Ying, and Wu Zetian took Chen Xiaoli into the car.

Following Chen Xiaoli's guidance, they drove towards the outskirts.

"Yang Tian, should we prepare? After all, the Corpse Demons have been in Huaxia for some time, but all has been quiet, they must be playing a very large game."

Halfway there, Wu Yue said.

"I will go in later, you all wait outside."

Yang Tian said.

"No way, we have to go in too! We are now all at the Core Formation Realm, not burdens anymore!"

Ling Ying said seriously.

"Yingying is right, we can support." Wu Zetian paused and said, "After all, you need the energy of the Demon Tree!"

"Alright, but you all must listen to my command later!"

Yang Tian had no choice but to nod.

The car soon arrived at the outskirts village.

This village had some history, and the villagers had moved out, the only ones living there were some migrant workers, but there weren't many.

Yang Tian just arrived at the village entrance, and operated his Divine Sense to probe the inside.

Not long after, he said gravely, "No one is inside anymore, just Corpse Demons."

"No one? Even worn, this village wouldn't be without inhabitants, right?"

Wu Yue's eyes showed a trace of doubt.

"Should have been cleared by the Corpse Demons, President Wu, you stay here to protect Chen Xiaoli, we'll go in and take a look!"

Yang Tian simply instructed, then headed inside with Wu Zetian and Ling Ying.

Wu Yue initially opposed, but later settled down.

Once Yang Tian and the others disappeared, Wu Yue immediately said to Chen Xiaoli, "Do you want to go in and see?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xiaoli nodded.

"Then let's follow them!"

Wu Yue lifted Chen Xiaoli and headed towards Yang Tian.

In front, Yang Tian flew in and fought his way through.

Having used his Divine Sense to probe, Yang Tian found only ordinary Corpse Demons inside, so he struck decisively, nearly one sword per demon.

Wu Zetian and Ling Ying also unleashed Divine Techniques.

The three charged into the village, alerting all the Corpse Demons.

"Strange, why aren't there Corpse Demons above the level of Demon Ministers here?"

Ling Ying asked doubtfully.

Yang Tian slammed the Corpse Demon ahead with a palm, then turned back, "I sense a massive Demon Breath nearby, there should be Demon Ministers there, but they seem to be bound."

"Bound? Could it be that they're setting up a Demon Array?"

Wu Zetian suddenly stated.

"It's possible! We'll know once we break in!"

Yang Tian said, leading the two women forward.

The Corpse Demons in the village all surged towards Yang Tian, so Yang Tian didn't stop, engaging just like a wolf among sheep. Soon they reached the main hall.

"Indeed, they're setting up a Demon Array!"

In front, a circular Demon Array appeared, with five corners, each corner pressed by a Golem.

Inside these five Golems lay sealed Demon Ministers.

"This is a teleportation Demon Array! The Corpse Demons really have their eyes on Huaxia!"

Without hesitation, Yang Tian rushed up to unleash five Heaven-shattering Palm Techniques.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five deafening booms sounded.

The five Heaven-shattering Palm Techniques formed a Five Elements Seal in mid-air, targeting the five Golems. After a burst of explosions, the five Golems were shattered, along with the Demon Ministers sealed within them.

"We've disrupted the Demon Array, the Demon King will soon arrive, disciple, let's destroy this village and retreat!"

Wu Zetian said, then soared into the air.

She opened the Demon Tree's passage, sending waves of Demon Breath to form a huge Demon Spirit Light Ball.

Boom!

The Demon Spirit Light Ball struck the village, rapidly exploding.

"Go!"

Yang Tian and the other two quickly fled outside, but soon heard Wu Yue's anxious voice, "Yang Tian, we're inside!"

"Why did you come in?"

Yang Tian frowned.

But for the moment, he said nothing, instead swiftly using two Gale Divine Talismans to take Wu Yue and Chen Xiaoli out.

When the five retreated from the village, the entire ground had been destroyed.

The explosion happened quickly and also subsided quickly.

Soon, the surroundings calmed down.

"Let's go back, the Demon King will soon arrive."

Yang Tian was about to take everyone back, but at this moment, Chen Xiaoli suddenly collapsed on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, foaming at the mouth.

"Lili, what's wrong?"

Wu Yue took one look and her face changed, "Yang Tian, look quickly!"

Yang Tian, Wu Zetian, and Ling Ying looked at Chen Xiaoli, and the next second, their brows furrowed, "This is the Demon Cat's Demon Poison!"

"But how did Lili get the Demon Poison?"

Wu Yue hurriedly asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, when Chen Hong died, Lili lying over Chen Hong, thus getting infected."

Yang Tian said.

Upon hearing Yang Tian, Wu Zetian, Wu Yue, and Ling Ying were all startled, realizing, "That's right, Lili has always been smeared with Chen Hong's corpse blood, this Demon Poison must have originated from Chen Hong."

"Yang Tian, can Lili still be saved?"

Wu Yue, seeing Chen Xiaoli pale and trembling, asked anxiously.

Yang Tian squatted down, assessed her, then surprisingly said, "We don't need to save her because her blood is voraciously devouring the Demon Poison! Her pain now is a normal reaction from her blood devouring the Demon Poison!"

"What? Lili's blood can absorb Demon Poison?"

Wu Yue was taken aback.

While Wu Zetian, on the other hand, was shocked, suddenly stated, "If so, then she must be the Soul Reaper chosen by the Demon Tree!"

"Soul Reaper?"
