"My friend, please stop."

Chen Ruoyu once again stepped forward, blocking in front of Luo Junming and He Wei, facing the man in jeans.

"Chen Ruoyu, you repeatedly obstruct me, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

The man in jeans showed his anger, glaring fiercely at Chen Ruoyu, "Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude."

Chen Ruoyu showed no intention of leaving. Looking at the man in jeans, he smiles faintly and arrogantly says, "Do you think a mere Blood Demon can threaten me? My friend, please don't fool yourself."

"Ungrateful for someone's kindness. Well, then don't blame me for being rude."

The man in jeans' expression darkened. He shifted his gaze from Chen Ruoyu, turned to the Blood Demon, and rebuked angrily, "Little Red, kill him!"

"Roar~"

The Blood Demon roared furiously, its power surged immensely, as if it had grown a great deal in an instant.

This Blood Demon, having undergone some mutation, seemed to be a bit more formidable than an ordinary Blood Demon.

Suddenly, its eyes flashed open with a bang as if it had broken some chains.

Its bloody eyes shot out aimed like a sword, blood-red sharp claws merged into one giant claw, dominating the sky, bringing a chilling air, directly attacking Chen Ruoyu.

Despite his well-built body, Chen Ruoyu seemed insignificant and small like a chick in front of this enormous claw.

"Ah~, so cold!"

The only martial artist in the Bone Forger Realm screamed, unable to withstand the Yin Qi released from the Blood Demon's giant claw, he instantly collapsed and passed out.

"Hehe!"

Nevertheless, Chen Ruoyu just chuckled, looking unruffled, clearly not taking this Blood Demon seriously.

"Ridiculous!"

He shook his head, looking pitifully at the man in jeans. "You clearly have never seen what a true expert looks like. You think you can rule the world with just a Blood Demon? It's laughable. Well, now let me show you what an expert can really do."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out with his right hand and grabbed forward.

An even larger palm emerged as an illusion, meeting the Blood Demon's claw.

"Top-grade Martial Technique, Shadowless Divine Claw!"

Standing next to Xiao Mu, Chen Yanli exclaimed in a low voice, apparently recognizing the name of the martial art technique Chen Ruoyu used.

This technique is known as the Shadowless Divine Claw, a top-notch skill among top-grade martial arts.

The shadowless claw stretched out instantly, overshadowing the Blood Demon's giant claw. Not only that, this shadowless divine claw directly pushed forward, instantly smashing the Blood Demon's giant claw.

"Roar~"

The Blood Demon screamed in pain, clearly hurt, and black blood flowed from its seven orifices.

However, Chen Ruoyu showed no intention of stopping, the Shadowless Divine Claw continued to move forward. The next moment, it grabbed the Blood Demon.

With a hard squeeze.

"Roar~"

The Blood Demon cried out in pain, dissolved into black smoke and disappeared, it was killed with a single blow by Chen Ruoyu.

The man in jeans immediately turned pale as ash and stepped back in terror.

"Haha!"

Luo Junming laughed hilariously, "Brother Ruoyu, you are a true expert!"

With that, he gave Chen Ruoyu a thumbs-up.

"Do you have anything to say now?"

Chen Ruoyu stood arrogantly, looking at the man in jeans with his hands behind his back.

"You... you... "

The man in jean's face turned furious, but he once again stepped back.

The strength of Chen Ruoyu was more than enough to deter him.

"Brother Ruoyu, what's there to discuss with a man who conspires with an evil ghost? We should just take him outright."

Luo Junming attempted to persuade Chen Ruoyu.

"Boss Luo has a point."

Chen Ruoyu nodded, taking sudden steps toward the man in the jeans.

He spread out his body immediately advancing several meters, swift like lightning, arriving in front of the man in a single step.

"Chen Ruoyu, I'll remember you."

The man in the jeans shouted angrily, a resentful look in his eyes. Seeing Chen Ruoyu charging at him, he quickly pulled something out and threw it forcefully to the ground.

Boom!

Rays of fire spread, black gas appeared mixed with an intensely pungent smell.

Chen Ruoyu swiftly retreated, allowing the man in the jeans to seize the opportunity to flee the room.

Aside from Xiao Mu, everyone else at the scene lacked the ability to stop the man in the jeans. However, Xiao Mu made no move to stop him.

In addition to this, at the same moment, Xiao Mu felt a sudden reaction.

From the floor, a fierce evil energy, as if activated, began to spread outward.

This is...

A strange expression appeared on Xiao Mu's face, was the real evil ghost finally making an appearance?

"What a shame, he got away!"

Luo Junming looked regretful and shook his head in the direction of the fleeing man in jeans.

The middle-aged woman with the triangular eyes looked worried, "How could we let him escape? What if he returns with an evil ghost?"

It was clear that others shared this concern. After hearing the words of the middle-aged woman, several others echoed in unison, "Yeah, what if he comes back with an even more ferocious ghost? Shouldn't we leave immediately?"

"Everyone, please, do not panic!"

Chen Ruoyu had a confident look, "Even if a real evil ghost comes, it won't matter, I'll protect everyone."

"I think we should leave this place. Something doesn't feel right."

Zhu Zhenping shrank his neck, he sensed the changes in the room and felt a sense of looming danger.

"Leave?"

Chen Ruoyu shook his head, looking dismissively at Zhu Zhenping, "My friend, have you not yet realized the purpose of this room? This is the Taoist Temple's treasure vault, where the temple's treasures are stored.

"Since we're here, right now, our main priority should be to search this room thoroughly, we should dig up every inch, to find all the hidden treasures."

"As this Taoist Temple is very ancient, it must have mutated secret manuals and treasures. We might even find the top-grade secret manuals and magical implements."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people felt tempted, especially the middle-aged woman with the triangular eyes and the martial artist at the Bone Forger Realm.

Chen Yanli, who was cultivating the Buddhist method like Zhu Zhenping, had a sensitive perception, she interjected, "No treasure is more valuable than life. I still suggest we should leave as soon as possible. There's something terribly ominous about this room, and I fear a formidable evil spirit will appear soon."

"Hehe!"

Chen Ruoyu lightly laughed, looking dismissive, "Young Lady, you are overly cautious. Even if a formidable evil spirit appears, so what? I am here and there is no need for everyone to worry about safety. As for the treasures found, I just ask to choose one first, the rest I am willing to share equally with everybody."

He made a promise once again, just to keep people stay

Although the treasure vault wasn't large, searching or digging it would be no easy task, without the help of others it would take him at least half a month, hence he was trying to persuade others to stay and help.

After listening to him, everyone was tempted.

With Chen Ruoyu's protection, they felt much more secure.

The promise of sharing the treasures further enticed them.

As for allowing Chen Ruoyu to choose one item first, it seemed only fair and reasonable to them, after all, his strength was evident and it was only logical for him to make such a request.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but shake his head slightly as he listened to Chen Ruoyu.

This Chen Ruoyu clearly hadn't realized that an even more powerful evil ghost was about to appear.

Chen Ruoyu quickly noticed Xiao Mu's action and his face revealed a displeased expression. He sneered, "What's the matter? My friend Xiao, do you think I am incapable of protecting everyone?"
