Fire Monster

Chapter 168: Unparalleled Sword Qi
"Brother Zhao, what should we do? They have been dragged into the nightmare fantasy world."

Sun Zei said in horror that he and Deng Jiu, the two heavy shield soldiers, had not played any role in the previous battle. They were just passive the whole time. It was not that they did not try hard, but that they were simply not good enough.

Who could have thought that the heavy shield skill they activated couldn't even last a single encounter and was contaminated and broken by the eighth-level evil demon?

This eighth-level evil demon didn't even give them a chance to fight head-on.

If it weren't for Master Zhao's family treasure, they wouldn't even have the chance to fight back.

"Don't panic, cover me, I'll handle it!"

Zhao Guanshan held the imperial seal oil lamp that had begun to dim and coughed violently a few times. He was unsteady on his feet and looked very weak, but he was not pretending; it was the truth.

He had been using the statue's vision and had faced the eighth-level evil demon twice, so his strength was already exhausted.

"it is good!"

Sun Zei responded loudly. He and Deng Jiu's heavy shields had already been replaced with energy-storing spirit stones. Now they stood one in front and one behind, protecting Zhao Guanshan and walking towards the nearest Song Erdan.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan raised the imperial oil lamp in his hand, and saw a flash of light inside, as if he really had a way to dispel the illusion.

But in an instant, a bone-chilling chuckle was heard, and a wisp of black air floated out from between Song Erdan's eyebrows, and in the void, it turned into a graceful human figure.

At the same time, black gas floated out from the eyebrows of the other people who were hit. The black gas quickly gathered and turned into the appearance of Xiao Chengyun. The dirty blood on the ground was taken back by it as it swirled rapidly. It completely became substantial and turned into a lifelike person.

This is not the final form of the eighth-level evil demon, nor is it a form of mutual destruction.

But as cunning as it is, it cannot guarantee whether Zhao Guanshan, a Qi Refiner, can dispel its illusion.

So it chose to give up dragging others into the illusion.

Changing to a simpler and more direct way, killing a Qi Refiner is more interesting and much more valuable than killing others.

"Brother, don't you like me?"

A beautiful and alluring murmur sounded, but the hands did not slow down at all, and two legs that were literally dozens of meters long came crashing down from the sky.

With one strike, Sun Zei's heavy shield was shattered to the ground. Sun Zei himself vomited blood and flew hundreds of meters away, seriously injured and unconscious, and even the activated big move was useless.

It turns out that they are also weak in melee combat.

But in the next second, Deng Jiu's heavy shield firmly blocked the two long legs.

"Boom!"

Amidst the dull bang, Deng Jiu's heavy shield was activated at just the right moment. Five fire phoenixes flew up, weaving a huge flaming net in the air. Instead of confronting the opponent head-on, they circled and intertwined around the two long legs like a bone-melting palm, as if they were wearing fishnet stockings, circling and interweaving continuously, and pulling back continuously, effectively dissipating 90% of the force.

Although Deng Jiu himself was forced to take a step back, he successfully blocked this fatal move.

But immediately afterwards, Xiao Chengyun, who was transformed from an eighth-level evil demon, suddenly bent his entire body over. Although his long legs were still trapped, his upper body seemed to be unaffected and he threw out nine punches in an instant.

Deng Jiu could only withstand five punches before his heavy shield blew up and he flew out, seriously injured and on the verge of death.

This eighth-level evil demon is so powerful. Even if it is in a state of low health and serious injuries, its numerical values ​​in all aspects can beat all of them.

"Brother, why don't you come and love me..."

The bewitching voice rang out again, because at this moment, Zhao Guanshan no longer had any protector in front of him. As weak as he was, he couldn't even draw the long sword at his waist.

The pressure of the eighth-level evil demon suddenly came upon him. Now he was just a prey, a little mouse in front of a tabby cat. All his struggles were in vain.

However, this is not the point.

Because Sun Ze, Deng Jiu, and Zhao Guanshan did this deliberately from the beginning.

All their actions were to provide Wang Chen with a real opportunity to attack.

Wang Chen is the main attacker of their team.

It's too late, but it's soon.

The sound of a sword being unsheathed suddenly rang out over a hundred meters away. It was clear and pleasant to the ear, even with a hint of the rhythm of Taoism.

It was like a misty morning, in the flowing fog, a bunch of flowers on the corner of the street bloomed faintly.

It is unclear whether the flowers bloomed first or the fog covered them behind, but it seems unimportant, because none of these represents the beginning of this event.

Instead, it's the end.

Yes.

When the eighth-rank evil demon heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed, it was like the moment when the fog dissipated and he saw the flowers blooming.

It thought it was the beginning, but in fact it was already the end.

There was no magnificent sword energy, no chilling murderous intent, no violence coming from underground, only one result.

It was Zhao Guanshan who witnessed the whole process.

It was like watching in slow motion. The four extremely gorgeous sword energies passed by with nearly perfect arcs, gently brushing past, just like rich ink casually smudged across the snow-white rice paper.

Infecting, penetrating, moistening, covering, extremely gentle.

The body of the eighth-rank evil demon was like a fragile porcelain doll, breaking in a balanced, beautiful, and stunning manner. Even the cracking patterns were so even and gorgeous.

You can't see the sword energy turning into meteors at all, because the meteors transformed by the sword energy do not break in from the outside, but the sword energy is invisible, first penetrating into the body of the eighth-level evil demon, and then merging and evolving to form sword meteors, and finally forming an outward invading force from the inside.

The power is completely different.

Wang Chen's comprehension and mastery of the long sword has even surpassed Xiao Chengyun!
"Ah~"

The eighth-level evil demon finally realized its mistake and wanted to deploy a form of mutual destruction again. It wanted to drag Zhao Guanshan into the illusion. It stretched out its arms with all its might, and its beautiful face quickly became hideous. It wanted to drag Zhao Guanshan into the abyss.

But it was too late. The torrent of sword energy surging behind him arrived first and engulfed him directly, killing him thoroughly, completely, and comprehensively without leaving any blind spots!

This was the first time that Zhao Guanshan's team had achieved such a high-level kill in such a complete manner.

Something that has never happened before.

Because before the evil demons were killed, they would either die together with their target, turning into nightmare demons and dragging their targets into the illusion, or they would explode with a roar, turning into evil energy and smashing their targets to pieces.

But this time, because of the cooperation of Zhao Guanshan's entire team, because of the help of the right time and place, and because Zhao Guanshan used himself as bait to lure the eighth-level evil demon into the game, it gave it hope that it shouldn't have, making it dream of devouring Zhao Guanshan, a Qi Refiner, and making it dream of advancing.

In the end, it was because of Wang Chen’s perfect sword skill that was almost like the Tao.

The power of this eighth-level demon was successfully preserved completely in its corpse. In other words, the energy it possessed was completely transformed into a visible and tangible trophy.

Its corpse even remained in the same place for a few seconds before it turned into dust and dissipated in the wind. Finally, a dazzling magic pill appeared in front of Zhao Guanshan.

This is different from the magic pills that needed to be compressed in the past, and its properties are completely different.

It is as big as a heart, and not only is it not polluted by evil spirits, but it is extremely holy. This fully proves that the extreme black is white, and the extreme white is black, the end of evil is justice, and the end of justice is evil.

So it is no wonder that the doctrine of the mean is said to last the longest.

Zhao Guanshan picked up the magic pill. He could feel his heart beating along with it. It was very tempting. As long as he swallowed it in one gulp, he would become even more powerful.

However, he decisively chose to fuse the magic pill into the sealed oil lamp. In an instant, the small flame inside burned fiercely, and strange, mysterious runes flashed in the flame, obviously unlocking new rune knowledge.

The remaining power made the small flame expand to the size of a ten-square-meter house!
This energy is so abundant.

Not only did it visibly restore Zhao Guanshan's current weak state, it also instantly rushed into the statue space and filled the stone platform under his statue again. A ball of bright flame emerged on the stone platform. This also meant that he could light up a rune star once, which was equivalent to a free skill point.

But apart from that, the excess energy continued to overflow. After filling up Liu Yuwei's stone statue platform in one breath, it also filled up Xiao Chengyun's stone statue platform.

This is really a big profit.

Wang Chen had already run over by now and moved the unconscious Sun Zei and Deng Jiu together. As for the others, they all knelt on the ground and vomited wildly. Although the eighth-level evil demon had immediately removed the illusion after dragging them into it, it had already caused great mental pollution to them in such a short period of time, which in turn interfered with their bodies and caused a strong vomiting reaction that would probably last for some time.

Fortunately, it’s not a big problem. I’ll get used to it after vomiting for a while.

"Their problems are not serious. Brother Wang, be alert."

Zhao Guanshan shouted and quickly entered the statue's field of vision. He was really afraid that there would be some fish that slipped through the net.

It looks good though.

The convoy escorted by Liu Yuwei and Xiao Chengyun was progressing normally.

Meanwhile, at the Demon Suppression Division front line, the ninth-rank evil demon was still caught in the Demon Suppression Net and was being beaten madly. It was currently trying to escape. Apparently, too many scratches from the psychic heavy crossbow would be fatal.

The only thing that is uncertain is whether the Zhang family has succeeded.

Therefore, they cannot leave yet and have to stay here for a while.

just in case.

Time passes slowly.

Zhao Guanshan's statue's vision was also constantly searching, and the torment was like weeds, endless.

However, good news soon came half an hour later. The ninth-level evil demon at the front line of the Demon Suppression Bureau was finally starved to death, and from beginning to end, the Demon Suppression Net was never seen torn apart again.

After all, the Zhang family is not so powerful that they can create unexpected events continuously.

Although this is the truth, Zhao Guanshan was really relieved. With his weak arms and legs now, he really couldn't afford any mistakes.

that's it,
He waited for about another hour until the convoy escorted by Liu Yuwei and Xiao Chengyun arrived safely at the Second Pioneer City and there was no possibility of any more accidents. Only then did he order a retreat.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan smiled silently.

This time, the progress bar of his S-level city-building mission has definitely reached 100%.

The city was built successfully!
