When the two figures reappeared, they were already in the midst of a noisy crowd.
At this moment, Su Xiyan was still maintaining order at the scene. Chen Shuo's sudden appearance startled her as well.
"Chen Shuo, are you... are you alright?" Su Xiyan asked in surprise, looking at Chen Shuo's somewhat disheveled appearance with concern.
But seeing Chen Shuo's vibrant demeanor, she knew he must be fine.
"Of course I'm fine. Look, who's this?" Chen Shuo said with a smile, giving Ghost King Xiao Mingchen beside him a push.
When Su Xiyan saw Ghost King Xiao Mingchen, her pupils contracted violently.
"This... Ghost King Xiao Mingchen?"
Before Su Xiyan could say more, Chen Shuo focused his mind, and a new barrier enveloped the three of them.
After entering the barrier space, Chen Shuo folded his arms and gave Su Xiyan a meaningful look: "Alright, the rest is up to you now."
"Huh? Me?" Su Xiyan clearly hadn't reacted yet. The opportunity was right in front of her, but she didn't know how to proceed.
"Who else? If I kill him, I won't gain any benefits. But it's different for you. If you kill him, your level will definitely have a major breakthrough."
This was the moment Chen Shuo had gone to such great lengths for.
Otherwise, he would have annihilated the opponent the moment he appeared.
Chen Shuo was really going to great pains to help Su Xiyan break through to the power of a Legendary Demon Hunter as soon as possible.
Killing Ghost King Xiao Mingchen would certainly be a significant boost.
"Chen Shuo, you... you dare! I am the mighty Ghost King, how can I die at the hands of such a demon hunter? I refuse, I won't accept this!" Ghost King Xiao Mingchen howled frantically, his blood surging with rage and humiliation.
He couldn't accept this outcome. He could die in battle, he could be killed by a Legendary Demon Hunter.
But to fall at the hands of a Gold Tier 3 demon hunter was an immense disgrace to him!
"What right do you have to negotiate with me? This is your best destiny. Don't worry, it will be quick. You won't suffer much pain."
Chen Shuo said carelessly, scratching his ear.
Then, he gestured towards Su Xiyan. Now all that was needed was for Su Xiyan to bring out her Demon Hunting Crossbow, nock an arrow, and end it all.
"Chen Shuo, is this... really okay? I'm a bit nervous..."
Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo with some trepidation. Although she had hunted many vampires before,
Including some powerful high-ranking vampires, that was already her hunting limit.
What kind of existence was a Ghost King? He was someone that even a hundred high-ranking vampires couldn't defeat.
In terms of strength, it naturally wasn't something a Gold Tier 3 demon hunter like her could handle.
Just like Su Xiyan's father, Su Yuanying, who was a Platinum Rank 3, half-step Legendary Demon Hunter,
Even he had been unable to take down this Ghost King Xiao Mingchen in several encounters.
He had even nearly met with danger in one confrontation.
And her own gap was still very large. Even if the opponent couldn't move and was at her mercy, to actually destroy him, it seemed...
It was because of these concerns that Su Xiyan had hesitated to act.
"Don't worry, just listen to me now. Nock your arrow, aim, and shoot. That's all."
Chen Shuo still had his arms folded, speaking with great confidence.
Indeed, if it were just Su Xiyan alone, no matter how much effort she put in, she wouldn't be able to kill Ghost King Xiao Mingchen.
But with him here, the outcome would naturally be different.
"Hahaha, hahaha... What a joke, an enormous joke. You really think a mere Gold Tier 3 demon hunter can put me to death?"
Faced with Chen Shuo's proposal, Ghost King Xiao Mingchen burst into laughter.
He was indeed afraid of Chen Shuo, but as long as Chen Shuo didn't act, Su Xiyan alone couldn't possibly kill him.
He had absolute confidence, so he was fearless.
But he had thought everything too simple. Just as Su Xiyan nocked her arrow, Chen Shuo finally unfolded his arms.
Chen Shuo made a hand seal and gently waved towards Su Xiyan's position. A dark blood-colored and mysterious oscillating force gathered in front of Su Xiyan's golden Demon Hunting Crossbow.
The enormous power even caused the surrounding air to distort, and even Su Xiyan standing nearby felt the pressure from that immense force.
"How... how is this possible? How can a demon hunter's natal artifact be augmented by a vampire? It's impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Ghost King Xiao Mingchen shouted in shock, almost frenzied at this point.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. How could vampire power perfectly fuse with a demon hunter's?
This was unprecedented in the entire history of vampires.
But everything happening before his eyes left him no choice but to believe.
He could also clearly feel the terrifying power produced by the combination of these two forces. If such power were to strike him,
Even with his Ghost King strength, he would perish on the spot.
With his life threatened, Ghost King Xiao Mingchen became completely desperate: "You can't kill me. Your parents are still in my hands. If anything happens to me, they won't survive either."
Faced with Ghost King Xiao Mingchen's desperate move, Chen Shuo showed little emotional response.
If it had been the female vampire making threats earlier, Chen Shuo might have been somewhat nervous.
But now that Ghost King Xiao Mingchen was in his hands, once Xiao Mingchen died,
All the vampires in Su City would be in disarray. At that time, who would care about the safety of Chen Shuo's parents?
To save their own lives, they would naturally protect his parents safely.
Moreover, during this time Chen Shuo had also noticed an issue - the Ghost King had brought all his elites, except for one vampire.
That was the female vampire. She hadn't appeared at all from beginning to end. To ensure his judgment was correct, Chen Shuo had even used the system to search the surroundings.
Among the array of over a hundred vampires, there wasn't a trace of the female vampire's aura.
It was because of this that he confirmed one thing - his parents must be under the female vampire's guard.
Now he only needed to eliminate Ghost King Xiao Mingchen, then find the female vampire, and he could successfully rescue his parents from her hands.
"Rest assured, even if you die, my parents will remain alive. Your time of death has come. If you have any last words, say them quickly. I've waited long enough."
Chen Shuo's patience was also wearing thin. It was only out of a bit of humanitarianism that he let the other leave some last words or something.
The Ghost King became completely desperate. He never thought that even using the parents couldn't threaten Chen Shuo.
"Madman, you're just a madman. Go ahead and kill me. You really think Su City will be peaceful after you kill me? Let me tell you the truth, if you dare to kill me, the power behind me will definitely not let you off. They will make you die a horrible death, they will make all of Su City pay the price for my death!"
