Chen Shuo remained unaffected by the surrounding circumstances, but Su Xiyan was different. At this moment, her face was pale and her form was swaying. The immense chilling aura made her shiver uncontrollably.
As a Demon Hunter, even though she had holy light protection, the difference in strength meant her protection was still too weak.
The blood magic of several dozen high-level vampires contained power comparable to that of a Demon King.
It's no exaggeration to say that even Su Xiyan's father, Su Yuanying, a Demon Hunter at the half-step to Legendary Realm, would avoid such terrifying power.
Sensing Su Xiyan's change, Chen Shuo also became a bit nervous: "Xiyan, you should leave first. I can handle this."
Su Xiyan's expression was pained, and although her face was ashen, she showed no sign of retreating: "No, I said we would fight side by side. No matter what situation we encounter, I want to be by your side."
Looking at this stubborn and persistent girl before him, Chen Shuo felt a warmth in his heart.
To have such a wife, what more could a man ask for?
He knew that Su Xiyan couldn't hold on much longer in this situation. All he could do was end this quickly.
"Then let's move forward together. Xiyan, hang in there, draw your bow and aim!"
Under Chen Shuo's command, Su Xiyan raised her slightly trembling hands, holding her Demon Hunting Crossbow aimed at the vampires in the blood magic formation.
As holy light gathered, Chen Shuo infused it with yin and cold energy, forming a massive energy body that combined holy light and darkness.
The energy it contained was terrifyingly extreme, even causing the surrounding air to distort.
"You brought this upon yourselves. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As his words fell, the massive energy surged towards the blood magic formation like a fierce dragon crossing a river, destroying everything in its path.
The moment the two powerful energies collided, a series of heart-wrenching screams followed.
After the dazzling light faded, the more than thirty high-level vampires in the blood magic formation were instantly reduced to nothingness, leaving only a pool of black smoke.
The massive energy dispersed, but with Chen Shuo's protection, Su Xiyan suffered no damage.
Faced with such a shocking scene, even Su Xiyan, who had seen her fair share of the world, was dumbfounded, staring blankly into the distance, her heart unable to calm for a long time.
Is this... the power of a Demon King?
She had always thought that with her own efforts and talent, she could catch up to Chen Shuo.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized just how vast the gulf between her and Chen Shuo truly was.
"Xiyan? Are you alright?"
Chen Shuo embraced the shocked Su Xiyan, asking with tender concern. Feeling Chen Shuo's warmth, Su Xiyan finally came to her senses. Her eyes were red and glistening as she buried herself in Chen Shuo's embrace, her voice tinged with a sob: "Chen Shuo, I was so scared just now. I thought... I thought..."
"Don't be afraid. I told you, with me here, nothing unexpected will happen! See, aren't we both fine now?"
Chen Shuo said proudly. Although the situation had been critical, with his strength and the support of his system, no one could harm him.
"Mm, I... I actually didn't expect you to be this powerful. Is... is this the true power of a Demon King?"
Even though she was considered an experienced Demon Hunter, this was the first time she had witnessed such terrifying power.
Just one Demon King could cause the heavens and earth to change color, and the sun and moon to lose their light.
If this were to face off against another Demon King, the results would be unimaginable.
This made her worry about their current situation: "Chen Shuo, we should be careful. That Demon King might still be nearby. We need to be prepared for battle."
"Relax, that Demon King has already left. We're safe now."
Chen Shuo gently stroked Su Xiyan's hair, his face full of affection. As he caressed her, he was also converting the yin and cold energy in his body into power to regulate Su Xiyan's body.
"Are you sure? How could that Demon King just leave like that?"
Su Xiyan found it hard to believe. From the current situation, it seemed the enemy had the advantage.
Moreover, retreating after such a great sacrifice was a major taboo in warfare.
In Su Xiyan's view, although Chen Shuo had the strength of a Demon King, the opponent was his equal and had the advantage of numbers. There was no reason to retreat.
Feeling uneasy, Su Xiyan carefully asked, "Could that Demon King be planning a surprise attack? That's their usual tactic."
"Don't worry, when have I ever been unreliable? I'm certain he has fled."
As Chen Shuo spoke, his fist clenched involuntarily. For him, today was also a missed opportunity to eliminate the enemy.
If that Demon King had been even slightly careless, he could have been killed today.
But the moment the blood magic formation was broken, Chen Shuo could no longer sense even a trace of the other's presence, proving that the opponent had chosen to leave immediately.
And it was quite decisive, not even giving Chen Shuo a chance to lock onto him.
Otherwise, by locking onto the other's aura, coupled with the support of his system, he could have found the enemy's lair and launched a direct assault.
It was a pity, but not entirely so.
At least there was a decent harvest today. Thirty high-level vampires meant a substantial amount of experience.
"Enough about that, quick, see if you've broken through!"
With Chen Shuo's kind reminder, Su Xiyan finally reacted, closing her eyes to sense her own condition. The next second, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, her expression bewildered: "How... how is this possible?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Shuo asked curiously.
Su Xiyan was immersed in excitement, unable to speak for a long time. She could never have imagined such a great improvement in just one night. The feeling was like riding a roller coaster.
"I... this... how should I tell you? I've already broken through to the peak of Gold Tier 3, just one step away from Platinum."
As Su Xiyan spoke, she couldn't help but swallow a sweet mouthful of saliva.
She had never experienced such rapid leveling up before. In just a short minute, she was about to break through to Platinum?
If such an exaggerated method of leveling up were to spread, it would be quite sensational in the entire Demon Hunter world. No, it should be said to be unprecedented.
"What? Only Gold Tier 3?"
Chen Shuo shook his head, slightly disappointed. Killing so many high-level vampires at once, and only reaching Gold Tier 3.
"That's already amazing, isn't it? What did you expect?"
Chen Shuo thought for a moment: "It should at least be Platinum Tier 1, right?"
Su Xiyan gave Chen Shuo a big eye roll, somewhat speechless: "Do you think Platinum Demon Hunters grow on trees? That you can just break through whenever you want? Reaching Gold Tier 3 is already terrifying enough!"
"Alright, alright, it's good to have made progress. By the way, after all this talk, how are you going to thank me?" Chen Shuo looked at Su Xiyan with a mischievous expression.
