Chapter 180 The Evil Demon Who Wants to Start a Group
The night is deep.

The first line of defense is still in fierce battle, and the outcome is unknown, but from the fact that no ninth-level demon entered the country today, we can tell that the four camps in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest of the Demon Suppression Division still have a certain amount of strength to control the battlefield.

In comparison, the second line of defense is rather poor.

At this moment, on a heavily guarded watchtower on the Imperial Seal Great Wall of Linjiang Prefecture, the First Seal of the Governor's Office arrived here in person to pay close attention to the situation on the second line of defense battlefield.

"Reporting to the Lord, as of now, the first line of defense has deployed two rounds of demonic energy. The current situation of each pioneering city is as follows."

"In the first pioneer city, we released 22 trillion demonic energy twice, two eighth-level evil demons, and fifty seventh-level evil demons. We have successfully killed fourteen seventh-level evil demons and several sixth-level evil demons. There are currently three embryonic demon mother nests."

"The third pioneer city, twice released a total of 24 trillion demonic energy, two eighth-level evil demons, and fifty-four seventh-level evil demons. So far, one eighth-level evil demon has been successfully killed, and a first-level imperial seal chariot has been lost. Twelve people have died in the battle. Currently, there are four embryonic demon mother nests."

"..."

The official reported all the four newly-developed cities of the governorate and the five newly-developed cities of the Taoist temple in one breath. In short, all was not good. Even though the Taoist temple had a third-level Qi-refining master leading the team, more than fifty recruits died.

The situation was better on the Governor's side, with only thirty-two soldiers killed in the four pioneer cities.

"What's going on in the Second Pioneer City?"

The first palm print was a bit depressing. The difficulty of this battle has been reduced to such an extent. The new recruits and reserve troops are too weak and their experience is too poor.

"Reporting to the Lord, the Second Pioneer City has released a total of 50 trillion demonic energy in two rounds, eight eighth-level evil demons, and eighty-two seventh-level evil demons. Not long ago, Xiao Chengyun personally took action and killed an eighth-level evil demon and several seventh-level evil demons. There are currently five embryonic demon mother nests, and the total amount of demonic energy is 12 trillion. No one was injured or killed."

"Xiao Chengyun?" The First Palm Seal frowned slightly and became even angrier. They were all second-level Qi Refiners, so why was she the only one who could kill them?

"Reporting to Master Seal Holder, the latest information from the Dao Palace is that Xiao Chengyun has advanced to the third-level Qi Refiner at some point, which is why he is so powerful."

"Level 3... Zhao Guanshan's luck is really too good."

The First Palm Seal was very emotional. Level three and level two are completely different concepts. It basically means that she can fight independently.

Of course, in reality, even on the first line of defense, no third-level Qi Refiner would be stupid enough to fight independently.

"Keep paying attention. Remember, if the Second Pioneer City has any requests, try to satisfy them. Our Pioneer City and War Camp need time to grow."

"Here!"

-

In the second development city, Xiao Chengyun was showing off.

She was so happy.

In the first round, she did not get any battle or gain. After three hours, when she released the second round of demonic energy, she was lucky enough to collide directly with three eighth-level evil demons.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that these three eighth-level demons want to start a group battle.

How can we tolerate this?

They had three sealed chariots, which made them invincible. They also had the help of Deng Jiu, Wang Chen, Yu Che and others, so she seized the opportunity. She first used a second-level mark to lock onto an eighth-level evil demon, and then focused the fire of the psychic heavy crossbows. Wang Chen, Yu Che and others also focused their fire and directly beat the eighth-level evil demon into the fifth form, which was killed by her with the last sword.

Obtained 100 points of Dao Palace contribution value.

Unfortunately, the other two eighth-level demons turned around and fled and could never be caught up.

She also didn't dare go too deep into the Demon Mother's lair, because she didn't know how many eighth-level evil demons the Demon Suppression Bureau had released into their jurisdiction.

But no matter what, today's battle was awesome.

At this pace, it would be fun to kill one every day.

Xiao Chengyun even began to hope that Zhao Guanshan could continue to practice in seclusion.

This young Master Zhao is too cowardly.

Just as he thought of this, Xiao Chengyun suddenly realized something. He turned around and saw Zhao Guanshan walking out with a sword in his hand.

This immediately made her want to cry.

"Brother, didn't we agree that you would practice for two days?"

"Yes, that was my original plan, but I hit a bottleneck."

Zhao Guanshan said casually that he had just replaced the spirit supply array on the long sword and made a simple scabbard with some simple tinkering.

It is worth mentioning that this long sword can actually contain twelve energy storage spirit stones, which is four times the current standard long sword!
That is to say, the difference in normal attack is four times.

The only troublesome thing is that the sword is a bit long and cannot be hung around the waist or carried on the back.

I can only hold it in my hand, and it feels okay.

"You've only been practicing for half a day and you've already hit a bottleneck? Senior brother, I'm beginning to doubt your potential. When you have time, study your family treasure more. Believe me, there must be some good stuff left by your Zhao family's ancestors. As long as you comprehend it, it will be easy for you to advance to the first level of Qi Refiner."

Xiao Chengyun said hurriedly, she felt that Zhao Guanshan had gone in the wrong direction. He didn't want to be a good Qi Refiner, but came to be the city lord. Look, there are too many chores and too many things to worry about. He couldn't concentrate on meditation at all, so he became a little Zhao scum.

"Thank you for your reminder, Junior Sister. But what is the current situation of our Demon Suppression Net? Has it been blown up?"

Zhao Guanshan was quite worried about this.

"How could that be? The Demon Mother's Lair will absorb a large amount of demonic energy. In the past two rounds, we have released at least 50 trillion demonic energy here. There are at least six eighth-level evil demons. You killed one, and I accidentally killed another one just now. There are probably only four left. It's not difficult. Brother, you can continue to practice."

Xiao Chengyun said in a relaxed tone.

"Then I feel relieved. Where is the Demon Mother's lair?" Zhao Guanshan asked with a smile. This junior sister is indeed still young. She has forgotten the big loss she suffered last time so quickly.

"There should be five Demon Mother lairs. This can be calculated from the remaining amount of demonic energy. Anyway—"

Xiao Chengyun still wanted to continue to trick Zhao Guanshan into going back to practice, but suddenly the warning bell rang, and the third round of release officially began, and it was still fierce. In a blink of an eye, more than 20 trillion demonic energy was released.

But what is strange is that the Demon-Suppressing Network has never broken through its upper limit, that is, it has always remained below 25 trillion.

At this moment, Xiao Chengyun's face finally changed drastically, because she knew very well what this meant.

"Senior brother——"

Zhao Guanshan waved his hand, signaling her to stay calm, and at the same time he had opened the statue's vision.

At this moment, he clearly saw that the demonic energy at the locations of the five demon mother lairs had formed a vortex and was being swallowed up madly. At least half of the demonic energy released from the first line of defense was directly swallowed up.

In addition, six hours ago, the nests of these demon mothers were still very small, but now they have expanded to more than 20 meters high, like small hills.

In addition, this time the Demon Suppression Bureau actually released five eighth-level evil demons into their area. Even after deducting the two that were killed, there were still thirteen left.

"The Zhang family really hates me to the core."

Zhao Guanshan wanted to laugh. To be honest, he really wanted to hold back, be more reserved and humble. Regardless of anything else, he had to earn enough magic spirit liquid to keep the first-level spirit supply tower running for three to five years.

It looks like I can finally give it a try.

"Everyone, it seems we have to go all out. As usual, we will split our forces into two groups. Your three Imperial Seal chariots will be in the front, and our two chariots will be in the back. You must be alert and don't let the eighth-level evil demons get close to you. Our Imperial Seal chariots don't have composite armor. If they really get close to us, they will explode within ten minutes."

Zhao Guanshan shouted loudly, then took out his sealed oil lamp, activated the fifth-order dispelling rune inside, and began to illuminate each sealed chariot carefully.

This is their secret weapon. After being illuminated by a fifth-order dispelling rune, the performance of the chariot in all aspects will absolutely skyrocket, and at the same time, its resistance to corrosion from demonic energy will be increased by at least 30%.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I understand all of this. Moreover, the demonic energy here has been sucked away by the Demon Mother's Lair. The concentration of demonic energy is not high enough. It is absolutely impossible for an eighth-level evil demon to get close!"

Xiao Chengyun said in high spirits, and with a wave of his hand, three imperially-sealed chariots came out one after another, responsible for disturbing the eighth-level evil demon on the opposite side.

They are the main force in the open and also the target in the open.

The two imperially-sealed chariots that Zhao Guanshan and others were responsible for were waiting patiently in the rear.

About ten minutes later, the three imperially-sealed chariots led by Liu Yuwei, Xiao Chengyun and others encountered a group of high-level evil demons led by three eighth-level evil demons, but neither side had the desire to actively attack.

I have to say that Xiao Chengyun's command was quite reliable. He advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and handled the situation with ease.

The two sides fought each other for a while, and after killing more than a dozen seventh-level evil demons, Xiao Chengyun and his three chariots began to advance towards the center of the area. This was a correct strategy.

Because in the evil spirit, you can't see the direction at all, and there is no real reference.

However, the Demon-Suppressing Net has a special feature, that is, as long as you gradually get closer to the central area, you can gain a small amount of weak effects similar to those of a first-level Spirit-Supplying Tower.

That is to say, free psychic energy vortexes will appear here.

This is a very important reference method.

Each sealed chariot has a corresponding psychic circuit that can sense these free psychic energy vortices.

Don't worry about the risk of getting lost.

"These eighth-level demons are quite ambitious. They actually want to start a group battle?"

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan, who was in the city behind, was observing the overall situation through the vision of the statue.

He saw clearly that the eighth-level evil demon opposite him was actually divided into three parts.

Among them, three eighth-level evil demons led fifteen seventh-level evil demons and several sixth-level evil demons to form the first group. They always followed ten miles behind Xiao Chengyun's three chariots, pestering them relentlessly. They were very shameless.

In another direction, thirty miles away from Xiao Chengyun's convoy, there were two eighth-level evil demons, leading twenty seventh-level evil demons, advancing slowly at a moderate speed. This should be considered the second cluster of evil demons.

Then there is the third cluster. In the southwest corner, an eighth-level evil demon sneaked silently from the evil energy.

This eighth-level evil demon even gave up guarding the Demon Mother's nest it had built. It can be seen that their courage is proportional to their number.
