Seal of God: Crossing the Snake Demon God, Devouring Evolution

Chapter 228: Dark Moon and High Wind, Killing Night
Sheng Yue spoke in a powerful voice and made a solemn promise that as long as An Lan needed it, the Assassin's Temple would do its best to repay him for rescuing the Exorcist Pass several times.

Looking back to the past, when he made his first move, An Lan braved the danger and brought back the remains of Sheng Lingxin from the watchful eyes of the three great demon gods, turning the tide and solving the urgent problem of exorcism. This time, he came again and performed even more brilliantly, killing two demon gods. It was like a sharp sword being unsheathed, directly hitting the vital points of the demon clan and greatly weakening its top-level combat power. It was also like a bright dawn, bringing hope to the exorcism community and dispelling the haze.

Originally, in Shengyue's heart, the Exorcist was like an old man in his twilight years. Under the fierce attack of the demons, he could only hold out for another month at most, and then the city would be destroyed and people would die, and he would be doomed. But now, because of Anlan's contribution, he was like a warrior who rekindled his fighting spirit. He was full of confidence and vowed to fight the demons for a year, not giving up an inch of land, and guarding this barrier of mankind.

To show his gratitude, Sheng Yue held a banquet and entertained An Lan and Li Xin with enthusiasm. The table was full of delicious food, the wine was fragrant, and the atmosphere was joyful. He also knew the purpose of An Lan's visit, to reorganize the demon hunting group and shoulder the mission, so he respected him more and more.

In the following days, the people of Exorcist Pass were busy all the time, and everyone worked together to repair the city wall. The sound of bricks and stones colliding could be heard. It was because of An Lan's magical and sacred rain, just like the rain that moistened the land after a long drought, that Exorcist Pass won a precious respite. The demons were still in fear, fearing that the rain would come again. If they used the same trick again, the demon army would surely suffer a devastating disaster, so they temporarily restrained their troops and did not dare to act rashly.

After the rest, Sheng Yue seized the opportunity and decisively convened a meeting while An Lan, Li Xin and Cai Er were still there to solicit good ideas. An Lan, who was also the Knights Templar, attended the meeting with his head held high and looked very elegant. "An Lan, what do you think?" Sheng Yue looked at An Lan with a burning gaze and full of expectations.

An Lan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. After a while, he spoke in a loud voice, "The Assassin's Temple specializes in fierce attacks, not passive defense, just like a cheetah is good at hunting, but it loses its edge when trapped in a cage. The most urgent task is to change defense into offense and take the initiative to attack, so as to show the power of assassins and maximize their advantages." After speaking, he paused for a moment, looked around at everyone, and continued: "Now there are more than ten powerful exorcists at the level of Guanxia. With such a strong strength, even if they confront the eight demon gods head-on, they will not be at a disadvantage. What's more, there are only six demon gods left now, and the deterrence is greatly reduced. I suggest that we use sniping and harassment methods to directly attack the demon camp, disrupt their morale, weaken their strength, and make them unable to take care of themselves."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Sheng Yue fell into deep thought, frowning, weighing the pros and cons. This idea was indeed brilliant, like a sharp blade that could hit the vital points of the demons, but it also posed risks. Once it failed, the losses would be disastrous and unimaginable. Looking back at the two years of the Holy War, it was not that he had not thought about it, but he was concerned about the consequences of failure. He did not want the Assassin's Temple, which his great-granddaughter had taken over, to become a ruined ruin.

However, the present is different from the past. After careful consideration, Sheng Yue's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he resolutely ordered: "It is a dark and windy night, a good time to attack. Pass on my order, all the heroes and people from Xiayin Hall, quickly gather in the yard!"

In a moment, everyone gathered and the lineup was complete. In addition to Shengyue, there were ten ninth-level heroes in the Exorcist Pass, just like ten peerless swords, with sharp edges; twenty-one hidden assassins, like ghosts in the dark night, hiding their bodies and appearing and disappearing. Add Anlan and Cai'er, and there were a total of thirty-four people in the group, all of whom were aggressive and murderous.

Sheng Yue swept his eyes over the crowd, his expression stern, and ordered sternly: "There is only one goal for this trip, to kill the high-level demons with all our strength and weaken the enemy's living strength. Remember two points: First, do not linger in the battle, and make a quick decision. The chivalrous assassins are responsible for covering the retreat; second, do not try to kill the demon god, avoid its edge, and preserve your strength. Let's go!" Everyone took the order, wearing black cloaks, like ghosts blending into the night, and rushed out in a line towards the demon camp. Although An Lan was not an assassin, his agility was not inferior to that of the eighth-level emperor assassin. His posture was agile and shuttled like black lightning. Sheng Yue led a group of strong men to hide their bodies and completely disappeared into the dark night without a trace; An Lan and Cai'er teamed up to find another way. "Cai'er, follow me closely, let's do something big." An Lan lowered his voice, and his tone was resolute and resolute. "But are we going to snipe the demon?" Cai'er was very smart and understood immediately. "With our strength, as long as there are no accidents, it will be easy to kill the Green Demon Knight Hill." An Lan's eyes were firm and he warned, "But you must follow me closely. If there is any mistake, evacuate immediately." "Yes." Cai'er agreed, hiding behind him and following quietly.

The two of them went around the side of the demon camp, sneaking into the depths of the camp like loaches. At this time, Sheng Yue and others had already started killing, just like the god of death swinging his scythe, and wherever he passed, life withered. Facing a group of assassins at least level eight, the demon soldiers were like lambs to be slaughtered, with no power to fight back. In the dead of night, lives were quietly harvested, and high-level demons were the first to bear the brunt, and they could not escape their doom. The assassins specifically targeted demons above level five, and every strike was fatal.

Time passed slowly, and the demon camp was like a hell of Asura, with screams and dead silence. Suddenly, the light in the center of the six demon pillars surged, as if a beacon was lit, and then the other five pillars also shone one after another, and the light gathered together, dazzling. A shrill long howl broke through the night sky and resounded throughout the camp. Dozens of lights flashed like meteors, suddenly bursting out from different directions. Obviously, the action has been exposed. Fortunately, the raid has lasted for more than ten minutes. Sheng Yue and other strong men are extraordinary, enough to cause heavy damage to the demons. Many assassins took advantage of the opportunity, turned into streams of light, and fled invisibly, rushing towards the direction of the Exorcist Pass.

"Get ready, and go all out later. I'll lead the Green Demon Rider to the side." At this moment, An Lan and Cai'er were hiding in the central tent of the demon camp, holding their breath and waiting for the right moment. "Yes." Cai'er responded softly, holding the Grim Reaper's sickle tightly, ready to go.

In an instant, the entire demon camp was in chaos. The light of the six demon pillars intertwined and turned into a strong light, sweeping in all directions like a searchlight. Wherever it shone, several figures were forced to reveal themselves, paused for a moment, and then fled again. The six demon gods also took action one after another, with grim expressions, looking for the assassin's trace.

An Lan's eyes were like torches, instantly locking onto the figure of the Green Demon Rider, without any hesitation, holding the Aria of the Goddess of Light, his spiritual power surged, and he swung out a sword, the sword intent whistling, just like a mad dragon out of the sea, the two surrounding tents collapsed instantly, and the demon warriors had no way to avoid it, and died one by one under the sword. After a successful strike, An Lan turned around and ran, releasing the sword intent while running, and the fourth and fifth level demon warriors died immediately after being touched, screaming continuously, and in just a few seconds, more than a hundred demons died.

Seeing this, a powerful demon was furious and chased after An Lan. However, compared with An Lan, his speed was like a snail crawling. Even if he caught up with An Lan, he would not be An Lan's opponent. Among the six demon gods, the green demon rider Xier was closest to An Lan. His body was shining with green light, just like a green flame burning. The green winged horse under his crotch neighed, and he held a green war spear and chased after him. The tip of the spear pierced with a green light, wrapped in black flames, like a burning meteor, and rushed to An Lan's back with amazing power. However, An Lan's figure was ghostly, and he dodged easily by dodging sideways. Xier chased after him, but he always kept a distance from An Lan, making it difficult for him to catch up.

When the calculated distance was just right, An Lan suddenly stopped, rooted his feet, and tightly grasped the Aria of the Goddess of Light with both hands. All his spiritual power gathered on the sword, and in an instant, the sword intent soared into the sky and the light was dazzling. This sword was a pinnacle work, so sharp that it seemed to be able to tear the void apart. Wherever it passed, the space shook, causing the Green Demon Rider who was rushing forward to have his hair stand on end, and suddenly feel the fatal threat coming towards him.
