Feng Yao nodded, signaling for Long Haochen to come over.

The person in front of him is the Chief of the Exorcism Bureau, regardless of whether the other party will hold a grudge against Long Haochen for any reason.

But at least here we must have reverence for the Holy Spirit and obey commands.

"Report, Commander, the Radiant Angel Knights are ready."

"Report, Dark Night Assassin is ready."

Holy Spirit's eyes lit up, and he ordered a general beside him in a deep voice, "Take my place and provide cover. These demon bastards won't give up until they're severely injured."

"Chief, are you going in person?" The general looked at Holy Spirit Heart in surprise.

Holy Spirit Heart nodded and said, "As a commander, how can you inspire the morale of the army if you don't lead by example? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Lan Yanyu!" Holy Spirit Heart shouted.

"Your subordinate is here." Lan Yanyu, dressed in a light blue magic robe, strode over from a short distance away.

Feng Yao bowed slightly to him, while Long Haochen bowed with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Lan Yanyu didn't even look at the two of them; she just looked at Sheng Lingxin with a worried expression.

Holy Spirit Heart said in a deep voice, "Later, I will lead the Radiant Angels and the Dark Night Assassins in a charge. After we break out, the mage legions will no longer conserve their magic power and will cover our flanks, while the magic cannons will cover the air. At the same time, send someone to invite Brother Gao and the others to be ready to meet us at any time."

"Yes." Lan Yanyu performed a Buddhist nun's salute.

Holy Spirit Heart turned around and glanced at Long Haochen. "Come with me."

His voice was cold, and Feng Yao could hear a hint of dissatisfaction with Long Haochen in it.

Having uttered just this one sentence, the Holy Spirit turned and strode away.

Surprisingly, no soldiers followed.

Long Haochen hurriedly followed, while Feng Yao thought for a moment and then slowly followed behind.

This time, instead of climbing the city wall, we headed down towards the center of the Exorcism Pass.

It was a large open area specifically used to concentrate troops.

It was already late at night, and there was no moon. The only way to see the open space was by the occasional flashes of magical light.

After descending the city wall, Feng Yao recognized the true nature of these things with just a glance.

A group of magnificent, tall horses were clad in heavy black armor, which almost completely covered their bodies.

This is the Radiant Angel Knights, one of the counter-attack forces of Exorcism Pass!
Holy Spirit Heart led Long Haochen to the front of the group and stood still, raising his right hand.

Suddenly, a golden light shot into the sky, bringing light to the darkness.

The cavalry, who had been making some noise, quickly fell silent, their tall horses standing in neat rows.

"Warriors of the Radiant Angels and the Dark Assassins. The ferocious demon spawn are attacking our Exorcism Pass."

For thousands of years, we have never let our homeland fall into enemy hands. I, your commander, will be your vanguard, cutting a bloody path to the enemy's head.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Three metallic booming sounds rang out simultaneously.

No knights spoke; they all pounded their heavy swords against their sturdy, thick breastplates.

Holy Spirit Heart turned around and looked Long Haochen in the eye for the first time. "The warriors of the Radiant Angels are all fifth-tier Earth Knights. I know you are also a fifth-tier."

"Do you dare to charge ahead with me, to slay the enemy and vanquish the demons?"

Long Haochen stomped his right foot on the ground and gave a military salute to the Holy Spirit Heart, saying, "I will obey military orders."

As he spoke, he released his Holy Spirit Armor and put it on.

When the Holy Spirit saw the ring, his pupils visibly contracted.

“Commander-in-Chief, it’s not only inappropriate, but also against the rules, to allow my deputy commander to go on an adventure with you in private!” Feng Yao, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up in opposition.

Although the Holy Spirit Heart is the military commander of this exorcism pass, he still dares to disobey orders that are flawed.

He's just a seventh-tier King Assassin. If he didn't have that status, I would have attacked him directly.

"Feng Yao, are you prepared to disobey my orders?!" Holy Spirit Heart's voice carried a hint of coldness.

Feng Yao remained unmoved and said coldly, "If you can't give me a reasonable reason, I have the right to refuse on behalf of my team members."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Spirit Heart's aura suddenly turned icy, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and spiritual power had somehow gathered in his hands. He hissed, "Feng Yao, do you know the consequences of disobeying your superiors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a ghost, and his short sword, imbued with spiritual power, slashed at Feng Yao.

Feng Yao neither dodged nor evaded, but threw a punch that cracked the ground with the shockwave and instantly forced his opponent back.

Holy Spirit Heart channeled his spiritual power to resist the shockwave, but was still shaken by Feng Yao's punch, causing his blood and qi to surge and forcing him to retreat several steps.

Enraged, he summoned his armor for protection and gripped his short sword tightly, creating a sharp, piercing wind.

Feng Yao dodged to the side and engaged in close combat, his punches landing squarely. The Holy Spirit Heart's light armor clanged and rattled, and the spiritual energy shield was also torn open by Feng Yao's tyrannical aura.

In just a few rounds, Holy Spirit Heart was kicked to the ground by Feng Yao, looking utterly disheveled.

Of course, this was just a fight using external spiritual energy; neither of them used any skills, and neither used their spiritual furnace.

Otherwise, this open space at the front would have been reduced to ruins in a few moves, and the battle wouldn't have ended so quickly.

Amidst the rising dust, Feng Yao said coldly, "Chief, you are only a seventh-tier assassin. You have absolutely no chance of winning if you fight me head-on! Perhaps a seventh-tier Cai'er could put up a fight against me."

"Kid, your talent is unparalleled. You are qualified to let me give you a choice." Holy Spirit Heart did a somersault to his feet and dusted himself off.

We can't waste any more time.

"Long Haochen, will you choose to be a coward, or will you fight alongside these warriors to kill the demons!"

The Holy Spirit's somewhat indifferent voice echoed throughout the open space.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yao's brows furrowed. This was clearly an attempt to coerce Long Haochen into adopting the Ten Virtues of a Knight.

"Commander-in-Chief, you..."

As expected, before Feng Yao could finish speaking, Long Haochen interrupted him in an apologetic tone.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I choose to join my predecessors in slaying the demons!"

Holy Spirit Heart said coldly, "Since that's the case, then summon your mounts and charge with the Radiant Angel Knights!"

"Yes!"

The next moment, Long Haochen and Haoyue entered a state of perfect harmony.

Holy Spirit Heart glanced indifferently at Feng Yao, then floated down behind Long Haochen like a ghost.

“Fine, I’ll go with you, Haochen.” Feng Yao shook his head slightly, then leaped onto Haoyue’s back.

"Thank you for your trouble, Commander." Long Haochen's eyes were full of apology, while telling Haoyue not to be agitated.

The latter's three heads nodded in a human-like manner, indicating that they understood.

Feng Yao waved his hand, "You are my deputy commander, it is only right that I help you."

The Holy Spirit's icy, battle-ready voice boomed in the next instant, "Open the city gates, charge!"

Boom! ! !
A loud noise came from ahead, and a terrifying gate, wide and thick but resembling a dam, slowly opened.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Behind Feng Yao, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, a chilling killing intent burst forth like a giant sword.

Behind them were three thousand Radiant Angel Knights, all of whom were fifth-tier Earth Knights, their bodies brimming with the bloody killing intent honed through countless battles.

But Feng Yao seemed completely unaware.
