This was the reality that he found most unacceptable. In his perception, even his master could not achieve this.
He possessed the strength of a Demon Saint, though there was a gap between him and his master, he could still withstand a hundred moves from his master.
But Chen Shuo before him was nothing short of divine, with that speed alone being enough to terrify.
Not to exaggerate, if Chen Shuo had made a move at that time, he might not have been able to stand there so calmly.
The vast disparity filled Dark Demon with fear, but the more this fear took hold, the more he wanted to obliterate it.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Dark Demon, half-crazed, roared in anger as he launched another surprise attack on Chen Shuo.
Once, twice, three times.
Each time he pierced through Chen Shuo, only to see a perfectly intact Chen Shuo standing nearby.
He always stood with his arms crossed, quietly observing everything.
"Dark Demon, return!"
Just as Dark Demon was on the verge of madness, the Young Man who had been quietly observing from the sidelines spoke up.
Dark Demon still felt **unwilling**, but with his master's command, he suppressed his impulse.
When he returned to the Young Man's side, Dark Demon looked dejected: "Master, it's my incompetence."
"It's not your incompetence, but this man is not simple. If I'm not mistaken, you are the Shadow Spirit, aren't you?"
The Young Man looked at Chen Shuo with a complex gaze. Although the situation had somewhat exceeded his expectations, from the previous battle, he had sensed the presence of the Shadow Spirit's aura on Chen Shuo.
It was this that confirmed Chen Shuo's identity.
For the Young Man's words, Chen Shuo did not respond. His eyes were fixed on the Young Man.
This person, whom Dark Demon called master, was indeed extraordinary.
Even without displaying his strength, Chen Shuo could clearly feel the Young Man's power.
He should be at the peak of Demon Saint level. If he had faced his former self, he would not have been a match for this man.
He couldn't help but be **grateful** about his choice at that time. If not for that incident, perhaps...
"Shadow Spirit, I know it's you. I revived you, saved you. Originally, I wanted to be your vessel, to bring you back to the world, but it seems you've made another choice."
"Well, since you can reappear in the world, and I am your helper, shouldn't we work together? Trust me, as long as you join forces with me, we can eliminate the Monster Hunters' Guild across the nation and become the rulers of this world!"
The Young Man spoke passionately, his wild words revealing his ambitious desires.
He had slowly unsealed the stone coffin for this purpose, waiting for this moment.
With both of them joining forces, even the deeply entrenched Monster Hunters' Guild would crumble under their combined might.
"Is that so? But you're rejoicing too soon."
As the Young Man was fervently recruiting Chen Shuo, a deep and powerful voice came from a distance.
In the next moment, six figures appeared.
They were none other than the Five Elders of the Monster Hunters' Guild, and Elder Xu.
Their appearance brought a few more traces of vitality to the otherwise cold surroundings, like the sudden appearance of the sun in the midst of winter.
They were like the sparks of hope, reigniting everything around them.
"It's... the Five Elders... and Elder Xu!"
Su Yuanying, barely clinging to life, couldn't help but show a hint of joy at seeing their arrival.
He never expected that one day he would witness all six of them **acting** simultaneously.
The Five Elders appearing together was a sight to behold, the five strongest legendary monster hunters of the present age, plus Elder Xu, making six legendary monster hunters.
"Is this... the true strength of the Monster Hunters' Guild?" Chen Shuo saw and couldn't help but be amazed.
He truly hadn't expected that there were still so many powerful individuals in this world.
No wonder the Demon Saint-level vampire had been lurking in the capital for so many years without causing any disturbances, always acting low-key.
It turned out that he was afraid of the power behind it all. Chen Shuo couldn't help but feel **reflective**.
If he had encountered these people back then, even with his Demon Saint strength and the system's support, his outcome wouldn't have been good.
"You old bastards, you've finally shown up."
The Young Man sneered coldly. If he had faced these people in the past, he would have been a bit fearful.
But times have changed. With the presence of the Shadow Spirit, he felt he had everything under control.
He had previously thought that the Shadow Spirit might not cooperate with him, but now, with the appearance of the Five Elders, it was an opportunity.
The Shadow Spirit, also a type of vampire, even if it was from ancient times, was still to be eliminated by the Monster Hunters' Guild.
If he wanted to survive, they had to cooperate.
In his view, Chen Shuo had no other choice.
"Ling Tong, after all these years, you are still so stubborn. I spared your life back then, but it has led to today's calamity. After so many years, it's time to settle the score."
The leader of the Five Elders spoke solemnly, his authority enveloping the world, forcibly creating a realm of his own within the vast cold aura.
"You know how many years have passed? A day makes a difference, let alone thirty years. Do you think I'm still the same as I was back then? Shadow Spirit, work with me. As long as we eliminate them all, I will pledge my allegiance to you as my master!"
The Young Man shouted loudly, no longer hiding his strength, as he faced six legendary monster hunters.
The battle was about to erupt, and all he could do was give it his all.
With him, Dark Demon, and the Shadow Spirit he believed in, that was three peak Demon Saints.
Three against six, although there was pressure, it was not impossible to win.
Moreover, the Five Elders were already advanced in age, their strength significantly diminished. If they could drag the battle into a prolonged fight, the victors would undoubtedly be them.
"It seems there's no room for negotiation. Since that's the case, let us old men see the changes you've undergone in these thirty years!"
The leading elder no longer spoke, waving his hand to create a special **boundary**.
This battle was sure to be earth-shattering, so he needed to make full preparations to avoid collateral damage and the suffering of innocent lives.
"Negotiate? Will you negotiate with me? Just fight, stop talking nonsense!"
The Young Man shouted angrily, darting forward with a single leap, heading straight for the Five Elders.
Dark Demon naturally did not lag behind, transforming his body and launching a swift attack like a blade leaving its sheath.
A chaotic battle erupted, even with a two-on-five situation, the Young Man's side did not fall behind.
This battle shook the heavens and stirred the winds, every fierce attack causing the **boundary** space to tremble.
Yet in this intense battlefield, two figures remained standing quietly.
One was Chen Shuo, and the other was Elder Xu.
