“Where is the Demon King now?” Shadow Bow inquired in a low voice, his expression tense.
It took a while for Heavenly Calculation’s voice to come through the earpiece, “I just made contact, he’s currently located 13 kilometers away from you, with an estimated arrival time of 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Can you hold on?”
Upon hearing this, Shadow Bow’s expression changed slightly, “I don’t know!”
After speaking, he cursed under his breath.
Because not far behind, there was the sound of numerous low-flying objects approaching.
“It’s the Federation’s unmanned surveillance drones, take them down quickly… they can scan your vitality fluctuations. Unless something unexpected happens, you and Number series are about to be discovered. Brace yourselves,” Heavenly Calculation warned.
Shadow Bow’s face turned ugly.
Number series, cloaked in a black robe, shivered beside him.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the distant jungle.
To Shadow Bow’s astonishment, the unmanned surveillance drones suddenly turned around and left.
“Heavenly Calculation, what’s happening?”
Around the bonfire.
The long-haired youth and others were clutching their heads, crouched on the ground, their faces filled with panic, “I was just live-streaming, I didn’t do anything illegal! Nothing illegal!”
The members of the Night Patrol Squad didn’t bother with them, forcibly pressing their knees against these people’s necks and using devices to verify their identities.
[Zhao Qingshan, male, 28 years old, previously convicted for theft, fifth-class citizen.]
[Xu De, male, 26 years old, detained multiple times for soliciting prostitution, fifth-class citizen.]
[Ma NeiLu, male…]
“Did you see any suspicious persons?” a Night Patrol member asked sternly.
“No, really, we didn’t do anything this time,” the long-haired youth called out loudly.
“Captain?”
“Clear the area,” the Captain of the Ninth Squadron said unconcernedly, turning his head to look at the figure next to him, “Old Xu, what do you think?”
Xu Tian’s expression was cold, “They won’t be able to run away.”
Soon after, the Night Patrol Squad called in, “Captain, we’ve found two suspicious individuals… We lost a drone. Identified as Old Gods Association [Shadow Bow].”
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron revealed a smile, looking at Xu Tian.
Xu Tian strode forward, leaving behind a sentence, “Seal off the area, I want them alive!”
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron shook his head slightly at his impatient demeanor, “Seems like the higher-ups are in a hurry too…”
He waved his hand, signaling his men to follow.
“Got you now, vermin of the Old Gods Association.”
A hideous expression spread across Xu Tian’s face.
“Purify!”
The word came out of his mouth.
An invisible force rapidly spread to the feet of Shadow Bow and Number series, their expressions changed as their bodies suddenly felt as though they were trapped in a morass of air, with countless hands pulling at them from behind.
“It’s Judgement Place’s people!” Xiao Fengchen from Number series said with a face full of horror.
Shadow Bow’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Dammit!
It was one of the monsters from the Judgement Place!
In an emergency, he quickly summoned his shadow, creating a massive dark creature. The terrifyingly large, boulder-like fists pounded down fiercely.
Xu Tian approached rapidly, his face expressionless.
“With myself as the spear, and light as the shield, I declare judgement!”
His indifferent eyes shone with a golden glow, his blood energy suddenly roaring like a furnace, drastically different from the battle he had with Pei Jinye… for Xu Tian, the two individuals before him posed absolutely no threat.
Boom!
In an instant! The ten-meter-tall shadow monster conjured by Shadow Bow, with its mountainous bulk, dissipated as if a popped balloon, scattering in all directions.
The terrifying Gang Wind whipped up the three people’s hair and sleeves…
Xu Tian wore a mocking look, about to step forward and grab the two when suddenly, the sound of something slicing the air was heard.
Xu Tian’s expression changed in an instant!
“Purify!”
The moment the word fell.
A small Triangular Military Dagger emitting a ghostly glow appeared out of nowhere, aimed directly at his brow.
Xu Tian was shocked.
He quickly retreated.
His face turned to gold as if cast from gold, with a “ting” sound blocking the dagger as if it were a specter.
At the same time.
A drop of blood from Xu Tian’s brow emerged, continuing its trajectory to alight on the Triangular Military Dagger.
Xu Tian felt an icy chill.
If he hadn’t activated his ability just then, if he hadn’t trained in the special body-refining techniques of the Judgement Place, the dagger would have already pierced through his head.
“Another vermin from the Old Gods Association! I’ll capture all of you in one swoop!”
Xu Tian wiped his brow, the wound from before already healed.
He looked around but didn’t spot where the owner of the bayonet was.
Shadow Bow and Number series exchanged a glance, both shocked.
Where is the Demon King?
It was then Heavenly Calculation spoke rapidly into the earpiece, “Southwest direction, run! The Demon King is here to meet you!”
The two hurriedly ran in that direction.
Xu Tian narrowed his eyes, snorting coldly.
He stamped the ground suddenly, launching himself forward rapidly, surrounded by a golden light, loudly exclaiming:
“With myself as the spear, and light as the shield, I declare judgement!”
The terrifying golden light enveloped them.
The ground shook violently, and billowing dust and smoke rose to the sky, the explosive air currents carrying a lethal intent, swirling and raging in all directions.
“Swoosh!”
The sound of something hurtling through the air came again.
Another Triangular Military Dagger, like a phantom, darted into the darkness of the night, aiming straight for Xu Tian’s throat.
Xu Tian smirked, but his expression changed abruptly.
He had clearly only heard one sound.
Yet behind the bayonet attacking head-on was another hidden dagger.
This Hidden Weapon Pelt was inspired by what Pei Jinye had learned from Fang Tianjian’s Double Ring Fist.
A straightforward move in front, with a treacherous one behind.
Now that I look back, it really was useful.
Xu Tian quickly dodged, but a three-centimeter gash was slashed across his waist in an instant, and he stumbled into the jungle on one side.
The Captain of the Night Patrol’s Ninth Squadron, who hurried over, was stunned by the scene.
“Go!”
Pei Jinye appeared in front of the Shadow Bow and grabbed the Number series.
Shadow Bow and the Number series were overjoyed, having endured more than an hour of pursuit, they were already in a sorry state; seeing the Demon King now was like grabbing a lifeline.
“Demon King, you’ve finally come.”
“No time for nonsense, run!”
Pei Jinye noticed the Night Patrol Squad was closing in and hurriedly moved, not forgetting to look back and ask, “Do you still have any grenades?”
“No…none left…” Shadow Bow stuttered.
Pei Jinye frowned.
The opposition’s forces were too numerous, and now they were burdened with the encumbrance that was the Number series.
Xiao Fengchen, the Number series, obviously aware of the problem as well, clutched Pei Jinye’s hand without daring to let go: “I’ve brought back some of the experimental data from the Heaven God, it’s very important, I can’t die.”
Pei Jinye coldly withdrew his gaze, seemingly annoyed at his slow pace, “Shadow Bow, summon your shadow, take the Number series and run. Don’t think about holding back at a time like this, or we’re all going to die!”
Shadow Bow quickly summoned a shadow and carried Xiao Fengchen.
“Fire!”
A roar suddenly erupted from the jungle behind them.
The next second.
The faces of the three, Pei Jinye, changed drastically.
An endless barrage of firepower descended, and half of the jungle was instantly lit up as if it were daylight.
“Demon King?”
“Shadow Bow?”
“Number series?”
“Are you still there?”
Heavenly Calculation urgently called out over the earpiece.
The previously dense forest was now leveled to the ground.
All was silent.
It was as if all signs of life had been wiped out.
Behind the crowd.
Xu Tian, covering a wound on his waist that hadn’t fully healed yet, forcefully pushed away the Night Patrol members blocking his path, his gaze cold as he stared at the plain ahead.
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron said coldly, “Launch the flare!”
“Bang!”
A flare shot up into the sky.
The collapsed area was lit up brightly.
Yet, in the area that had been bombarded with firepower, no bodies were found.
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron was surprised, “The enemy is this resilient?”
Xu Tian sneered, “They’ve been operating on your turf for so long, don’t you have any expectations?”
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron was taken aback, somewhat helpless, but didn’t dare to offend the member from the Judgement Place, and waved his hand to signal, “Advance!”
The unmanned reconnaissance drone led the way.
The fully armed Night Patrol members held their firearms at the ready, fingers on the triggers.
Before long.
Rustling sounds came from all around.
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron frowned and gestured for a halt, lifting his flashlight to illuminate the dense forest ahead…unexpectedly, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness of the forest night.
Followed by ten pairs… twenty pairs… fifty pairs… a dense sea of blood-red eyes appeared.
Xu Tian was taken aback, “Fallen Blood Wolves? Why wasn’t this reported in Da Peng City?”
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron felt his scalp tingle.
Fallen Blood Wolves were not high-level monsters, but they were gregarious, and the critical issue was that they carried potent toxins in their fur, claws, blood, and even their bodies.
The slightest misstep in combat could result in infection…
Therefore, Transcendents generally didn’t want to provoke these creatures.
A quick scan of the collapse area showed at least a hundred Fallen Blood Wolves, who knows where the main den is, and whether it might harbor even more of the creatures.
“Everyone, do not fire, retreat slowly!”
“You’re retreating?” Xu Tian immediately objected, “We haven’t found the people from the Old Gods Association yet!”
The Captain of the Ninth Squadron frowned at him, “Do you think they could hide in here?”
Xu Tian narrowed his eyes and, without a word, turned and angrily left.
An all too simple mission had allowed the enemy to escape just like that.
“This idiot, how on earth did he become a captain!”
“Report, the unmanned detection drone has issued a warning, a suspicious target has been spotted at the southwest entrance.”
“Chase!”
The group set off in pursuit.
Xu Tian was even quicker to take the lead.
“Damn it, they’re chasing us again!”
Shadow Bow, seeing a drone knocked down, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
He was covered in scrapes at this moment.
If it wasn’t for the Demon King’s timely kick, he probably would already be dead.
Pei Jinye’s face also looked terrible.
The voice of Heavenly Calculation came through, “Demon King, good news, the Silver Art is on the way… you just need to hold on for thirty seconds.”
“Thirty seconds…” Shadow Bow let out a bitter laugh.
The guy from the Judgement Place was like an indestructible monster… not to mention there was an armed squad of the Night Patrol as well.
He suddenly regretted coming to the aid of the idiot Xiao Fengchen.
All for some experiment data, but it had brought him so much trouble!
He then suddenly heard Pei Jinye speak, “Heavenly Calculation, tell the Silver Art to head to the highway intersection at three o’clock, meet me there.”
He turned to look at Shadow Bow and Xiao Fengchen, “You two follow the original retreat route, I’ll cover the rear and draw their attention.”
Shadow Bow decisively replied, “Okay, take care!”
He quickly left with Xiao Fengchen.
Pei Jinye expressionlessly retracted his gaze.
Heavenly Calculation’s uncertain inquiry came through the earpiece, “Demon King, are you sure you can do this?”
