The Invincible Bodyguard Starting by Escorting the Doomsday Imperial Princess Chapter 61 : Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Have This Pack of Spirits Failed to Convert Their Brains Properly?

Ordinary monsters might possess intelligence, but what they relied on was usually brute strength and the innate gifts passed down through their bloodline.

Just like that Scarlet Fla Scale Ox from before—its innate divine power had been the pair of horns atop its head, which could unleash blazing fire.

That stupid ox had tried to ambush him with fireballs back then, and in a fit of irritation, Chen Guan had ripped off the very things it relied on to eat.

Spirits, however, were completely different.

Although their physical bodies were not as overbearing as those of monsters, they could wield all kinds of strange and ever-changing demon arts.

That ox spirit, for instance, had just unleashed a rather powerful dharma-image demon art.

It was the first ti Chen Guan had ever seen a spirit that could attack with demon arts.

“Attack!”

Seeing that the first strike had failed, the leading bird spirit woman let her gaze fall upon Luo Li behind Chen Guan, and her eyes turned cold at once.

“Dead or alive, it doesn’t matter!”

The mont her voice fell, demonic power surged through the eight figures behind her at the sa ti, and their bodies vanished in place like ghosts!

In the next instant, they appeared soundlessly behind Chen Guan. Yet none of them attacked him. Instead, all of their gazes locked onto Luo Li.

Dry claws like branches, fangs flashing with cold light, hooves as sharp as iron hooks... all of them struck at the vital point in Luo Li’s back!

Though startled, Luo Li did not lose her composure. The mont those spirits lunged toward her, she pressed herself tightly against Chen Guan’s back.

Chen Guan’s brows knit together, and a frosty light exploded from his eyes!

He wasted no more words. With a thought, he activated his traits.

[Path-Cleaving Slash]: Activated. Saber attack power increases by 100%.

[Mountain-Severing Slash]: Activated. Ignores 50% of the enemy’s defense.

With a low shout, Chen Guan made his move. The thick blade of the Horse-Cleaving Saber suddenly trembled, letting out a harsh explosive cry!

Slash!

A shrill saber-light flashed past in an instant!

The goateed old man charging at the very front abruptly froze, as though he had been struck by a body-binding spell.

In the next mont, a crimson line as fine as a strand of hair suddenly appeared across his neck.

Then, without warning, his head rolled from his shoulders and hit the ground with a heavy thud.

A burst of demonic light flashed over the fallen head, and it instantly transford into a blood-soaked goat’s head.

As for the headless body, it swayed twice before crashing to the ground as well, revealing the goat’s true form.

In the distance, the veiled woman’s pupils contracted!

What a fast blade!

She had known Chen Guan possessed a swift saber, but she had never imagined it could be this fast.

Without even using true qi, he had made a Profound Passage Realm expert utterly incapable of resisting.

The remaining six spirits around them also froze for a brief instant. Clearly, Chen Guan’s cultivation had far surpassed what they had expected!

The Horse-Cleaving Saber in Chen Guan’s hand did not pause. With a horizontal cleave, another chilling flash of light swept through the air!

“Watch out!”

But the warning ca too late.

With a slicing sound, a huge head shot into the air!

Demonic light flickered over it—and it was the head of that ox spirit from before!

When Luo Li saw that bloody and brutal sight, she did not scream in panic as she had before.

There was only a trace of gravity on her face as her beautiful eyes peered past Chen Guan’s broad shoulder and fixed themselves on the veiled woman in the distance.

For so reason, those eyes gave her a faint, inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After losing two powerful subordinates in succession, the veiled woman showed no anger. Instead, an inescapable sorrow welled up in her eyes.

The six remaining spirits withdrew in unison by a full zhang. They glanced at the corpses of their two companions lying on the ground, then looked at the veiled woman with a tragic resolve.

From the saber qi in that last strike, they had already sensed Chen Guan’s realm—Purple Palace Realm.

“We will repay Miss’s great kindness in our next lives. Let us lend you one final hand!”

That old dog suddenly let out a low growl toward the veiled woman. Then the six of them locked their eyes on Luo Li once more.

In the next instant, a vast demonic power gathered frantically in their claws and hooves. In those blood-red eyes shone a ferocity born of utter desperation.

“Attack!”

At that shout, the six figures bypassed Chen Guan and charged at Luo Li with no regard for their lives!

Chen Guan cast a sidelong glance at the troubleso girl beside him. Still carrying that overwhelming air of one who could hold off ten thousand alone, he rely stood there and calmly watched the veiled woman ahead.

Only when those six reached him did he shift his gaze back and slash out diagonally with the Horse-Cleaving Saber.

Slash!

A sharp flash of saber-light swept through the air, and a dog spirit charging straight at him was cut in half at the waist!

Blood and entrails exploded across the ground in an instant!

Yet the remaining five spirits acted as though they had seen nothing at all!

Not only did they show no sign of retreat, the ruthlessness in their eyes was replaced by sothing even more crazed!

Without slowing in the slightest, they surged forward wrapped in a roaring tide of demonic power, breaking the air as they lunged toward Luo Li all at once!

“Have this pack of spirits failed to convert their brains properly? They know they’re outmatched, yet they’re still throwing themselves in like this?”

Chen Guan sensed that sothing was wrong, but there was not the slightest hesitation in his movents.

“I don’t care who you are. Every last one of you dies today!”
