Chapter 305 Aid

As the words fell, a large cauldron suddenly crashed down from the sky, transforming into a vast expanse of flame that illuminated the area brightly and made the air extremely hot.

Click!

As the curtain of fire burned, the space suddenly ruptured, and a figure shot out from a distance, colliding violently with Bian Wenqing.

boom!

A powerful surge of talent suddenly spread outwards, causing Bian Wenqing to stagger back dozens of steps.

The tiger demon's giant claws slammed down towards them. With Zhao Mingcheng's help, Chen Tianjian swung his Four-Clawed Emperor Sword, and a golden sword light collided fiercely with the tiger demon.

"Why are you here?"

After defeating the tiger demon, Chen Tianjian frowned and asked as he watched Zhao Mingcheng arrive.

“It was Ye Ru. When you were chasing that poison master, Ye Ru told me that you might have been ambushed. I also sensed something was wrong from the repeated attacks on the Northern Border by the demon race, so Ye Ru and I rushed over.”

Seeing that Chen Tianjian was unharmed, Zhao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly said.

"I see. But this guy is quite difficult to deal with. One is the chieftain of a tiger demon clan, and the other is an old friend of mine."

Chen Tianjian looked at the tiger demon in the distance, and stood back to back with Zhao Mingcheng, speaking slowly.

“Your literary rank is higher than mine, but I think Bian Wenqing is stronger than me. You handle this one? How about I take care of that tiger demon?”

Zhao Mingcheng pondered for a moment, then said.

"Okay, where is Ye Ru?"

Chen Tianjian noticed that Zhao Mingcheng was alone, but it was clearly Ye Ru's golden script power that had been used earlier, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Chen, are we not too late?"

At that moment, a faint voice rang out, and then a young man with outstretched wings stood in the sky, smiling as he spoke.

"It's not too late. It's rare to find someone as quick-witted as you. I owe you, Chief Ye, a favor."

Chen Tianjian raised his head and chuckled softly.

"Hmph, I didn't expect them to come with help. But what can a Grand Scholar and a Student do?"

Bian Wenqing's eyes were filled with a vast killing intent. Now a member of the demon race, he was naturally irreconcilable with the human race. Even if the person standing in front of him was his friend, he would not hesitate to swing his knife.

"Whether I can stir up trouble or not, you'll find out soon enough. This is the outskirts of Zicheng, and we haven't really left Zicheng yet. So, with the blessing of the Zicheng Confucian Temple, I can handle a tiger demon. As for you, leave that to Lord Chen."

Zhao Mingcheng smiled slightly, looked at Bian Wenqing, and said slowly.

If he were in the Northern Territory, he might still be somewhat wary of these demons, after all, he was only a Grand Scholar, while they were all Great Confucian Scholars. However, in the Purple City, with the blessing of the Confucian Temple, he could temporarily elevate his literary rank to the level of a Great Confucian Scholar.

"Hmph, Tiger Demon, you stop this man. Leave Chen Tianjian to me. Deal with him as soon as possible, otherwise we'll be finished if the other side gets reinforcements."

Bian Wenqing snorted coldly and shouted at the tiger demon clan chief. The latter nodded and slapped his claws together, the powerful force spreading outwards. Then he stomped his feet and his body slammed towards Zhao Mingcheng like a storm.

"The Confucian Temple lends me its talent."

As Zhao Mingcheng stared at the ever-growing Bian Wenqing, his expression grew increasingly cold. He knew that without the help of the Confucian Temple, he was no match for the opponent.

As Zhao Mingcheng finished speaking, the Confucian Temple in the Purple City suddenly trembled, and then a beam of light shot up into the sky, finally landing directly on the Wenqu Star.

At this moment, the Wenqu Star shifted, its angle pointing directly at Zhao Mingcheng. Immediately, a silver aura of talent swept over him, finally shining upon him.

The light enveloped Zhao Mingcheng, causing the flow of his talent to accelerate suddenly, and his study palace to double in size.

"Is this the literary talent reflected by the Confucian Temple? It's so powerful that it can directly elevate a Grand Scholar to the level of a Great Confucian Scholar."

Looking at Zhao Mingcheng with his eyes closed from the sky, Ye Ru clearly sensed a talent in him that was even stronger than before.

"The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits!"

In an instant, the tiger demon's giant claws were aimed at Zhao Mingcheng. At that moment, Zhao Mingcheng suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and calmly threw a punch.

A powerful, monstrous force blasted towards the tiger demon in an instant. This air cannon, accompanied by a sound that seemed to shatter the air, struck the tiger demon with perfect accuracy.

boom!

The two collided, and a powerful force swept outwards in all directions. The tiger demon also felt a powerful force and its body was immediately forced to retreat violently backwards.

A look of shock flashed across his eyes. He hadn't expected that this scholar would become so powerful after receiving the blessing of the Holy Temple.

"What is that guy doing?"

Ye Ru glanced at the poison master from before and saw that he was fiddling with something. Under his feet, a circular magic circle was slowly being drawn out. This magic circle was the same image that had been used to summon the demon lord in the northern border that day.

"Oh no, this guy is summoning reinforcements!"

Startled, Ye Ru flapped his wings and shot towards the poison master.

"court death!"

The poison master seemed to know what Ye Ru was planning to do, and his expression changed immediately. He then unleashed a large spray of venom at Ye Ru.

"Your poison is useless against me, burn the Burning Cauldron!"

Ye Ru shouted sharply. He would show no mercy to these poisoners who had separated from the medical family, since they had no humanity whatsoever towards humans.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge cauldron appeared above his head and then slammed down on the poison master.

The flames in the cauldron hissed upon contact with the venom, turning into countless plumes of white smoke, much like oil on a hot pan.

boom!

The flames burst through the venom and rushed directly towards the poison master, engulfing him in an instant.

"Useless! You can't even handle a mere student. What use are you!"

Bian Wenqing, who was standing to the side, clashed with Chen Tianjian and was forced to retreat backward. Without the help of the tiger demon, he was indeed struggling against Chen Tianjian.

"Bian Wenqing, the biggest mistake you made in your life was joining the demon race. I once strongly advised the emperor to spare your Poison Clan. Just as the emperor was about to agree, he heard about your joining the demon race and massacring humans. We are all of the same origin, why are you so eager to kill each other?"

Chen Tianjian's face was gloomy as he questioned him.
