Had they already provoked the demons back then?
Holy Spirit felt as if he must have misheard. In his memory, the Demon Hunter Selection Competition's entrance assessment would only be held on the border of the Demon Realm.
How could a place like that attract the descent of demons? What exactly happened during the assessment?
Holy Spirit was somewhat curious, but he didn't have much time to indulge in such curiosity, and his expression turned serious again.
He kept saying he was very lucky, but the pressure he felt was overwhelming.
Looking at Long Haoyu, Long Haochen, Cai'er, and the many elite members of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Team, a wave of regret welled up in his heart.
"I'm so damn stupid! Why did I bring them all with me this time? If they all perish here, it will be a huge loss for the alliance!"
"This time, we must risk our lives to ensure their safe return, otherwise our alliance will lose one of its most elite young talents!"
Holy Spirit sighed inwardly. He did not show any favoritism to Cai'er just because she was his biological daughter. He viewed Long Haoyu and the others in the same way.
His change in mindset has led him to consider everything based on the overall interests of the Human Alliance.
Just as the Holy Spirit was pondering these matters, Long Haoyu walked from Cai'er's side to Long Haochen's side.
He patted Long Haochen's shoulder heavily: "Haochen, we can't keep up with the speed of the Demon God Pillar. Get ready for the fierce battle ahead!"
“He was there to protect us during the last assessment, but he’s not here this time, so we can’t let our guard down.”
"A fledgling eagle that is always under the protection of wings can never grow into a true eagle that can soar through the sky!"
Long Haoyu's voice was deep and powerful. As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Wufeng. Forty percent of Wufeng's effect was working on him, and his overall spiritual power remained above the sixth level.
The fighting spirit within them did not dissipate despite the arrival of the demon god; they were constantly prepared for a fierce battle.
Long Haochen nodded solemnly, and Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian and the others also nodded solemnly, their fighting spirit increasing rather than decreasing.
"You lad, you really do have some of Brother Long's flair!"
“I was somewhat selfish to bring you out this time, but after this incident, I have truly seen you for who you are.”
"I acknowledge your relationship with Cai'er! When the fierce battle begins, I will do everything in my power to protect you both and ensure your safe return!"
Cai'er's gaze remained icy, and she didn't change her expression at all when the Holy Spirit spoke of acknowledging Long Haoyu and her affair.
The icy, penetrating gaze made Holy Spirit feel somewhat awkward, but he didn't dwell on the matter.
The tension on the battlefield left him little time to waste. After saying these words, his gaze immediately turned very serious as he looked at the rapidly approaching Demon God Pillar.
With her back to Long Haoyu and the others, Sheng Lingxin took a deep breath: "Cai'er, I know you've always hated us, but this is the sacrifice we have to make!"
“From childhood to adulthood, we have not been able to give you any love or care. We have watched you go through a lot of torment while participating in assessments, and we have not been able to do anything about it.”
"Whether you forgive me in the end or not, whether you forgive your mother in the end or not, let me, this unfit father, give you one last chance to show the love a father should have for his daughter."
"Remember what I just told Long Haoyu. The moment the fierce battle begins, go back as fast as you can. I have already asked your mother to ask Brother Gao and the others to be ready to provide support at any time."
"When the time comes, you and your teammates should return as quickly as possible, and the Radiant Angel Knights will act as your meat shields."
"I will risk my life to buy you time to go back!"
"Remember, this is a military order, and there must be no disobedience!"
"These are our fates!"
The last word of the Holy Spirit's Heart was a powerful shout.
With that loud shout, he roared at the Radiant Angel Knights.
"All members of the Radiant Angel Knights, heed my command!"
"The three great demon gods have descended! Kill them all!"
"Even if we can't beat them or kill them, we must make them all lose a piece of their flesh!"
Holy Spirit's emotions surged, and his deep eyes became extremely solemn as he looked at the three demonic pillars that had fallen heavily onto the path they would inevitably take on their return.
Three terrifying figures, each shrouded in an even more terrifying aura, slowly emerged from the three pillars of light. Their overwhelming presence swept over Holy Spirit Heart, Long Haoyu, and the others.
Accompanying these three demonic figures were their respective hundred powerful demon guards, hundreds of figures completely blocking their retreat.
The Holy Spirit did not back down an inch, firmly adhering to the decision to stand in front of Long Haoyu and the others, and to tear a path for them to survive.
As Cai'er watched the retreating figure of the Holy Spirit Heart, the resolute cry of the Holy Spirit Heart kept echoing in her ears.
The expression on his face remained as cold as ever.
But the gaze that could be vaguely seen in those empty eyes was fixed on the silhouette of the Holy Spirit Heart at this moment.
Chapter 207. Cai'er's Heart, Bright Moon Strikes!
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Can't you understand? I already said, this is a military order!!"
Holy Spirit Heart didn't sense Long Haoyu and the others' movements, but he did sense that Cai'er was looking at him.
Completely unable to focus on glaring at the others, he could only yell at them at the top of his lungs, his emotions incredibly tense, his heart pounding in his throat.
The Radiant Angel Knights began to shrink their ranks, obeying the Holy Spirit's command, and all moved towards the Holy Spirit.
Instead of rushing headlong towards the location of the three demon gods, they protected Long Haoyu and the others behind them.
Just as the Holy Spirit Heart said, they are now acting as human shields for Long Haoyu and the others. As long as Long Haoyu and the others can leave the battlefield alive, it would be worth it even if they were all wiped out here.
The elites of the Demon Hunter Selection Competition understand the significance of this event better than anyone else; among them, there are bound to be quite a few who will grow to the ninth rank.
A single expert at this level can unleash greater power than an entire knightly order, which is one of the true strengths that allows the human alliance to contend with the demons.
Cai'er remained unmoved, her empty eyes continuing to stare at the Holy Spirit Heart, her voice cold yet tinged with stubbornness.
"I won't obey military orders!"
All I know is that you betrayed me! You are the ones who wronged me!
"You think you can move me with your life? I won't be swayed!"
That's what she said, but as Cai'er spoke, her eyebrows and expression trembled slightly.
The Sword of Reincarnation appeared in her hand, and the Reincarnation Furnace also floated in front of her, ready to turn the power of the Reincarnation Furnace to its maximum at any time.
The options of merely surviving or fleeing were not on her mind; her current resolve was unwavering.
Either we go back alive together.
Either we die here together.
Long Haoyu sensed Cai'er's emotional changes, stood beside her, and looked at the figure of the Holy Spirit Heart, which was like a tall tower at this moment.
"Commander-in-Chief, we can indeed protect ourselves by following your orders. With the sacrifice of many colleagues, we can go back."
“I understand why you have these considerations, but you haven’t really put yourself in our shoes to consider this issue. You’ve won this chance to survive for us with the sacrifice of countless comrades.”
"We can walk this road this time, but we can never walk it again in our lifetime!"
"Such an experience can become a mental demon for all of us, and our cultivation may stagnate!"
Confused!
Confused!
The Holy Spirit cursed in his heart.
Cai'er's answer, Long Haoyu's answer, and the fighting spirit rising from all the members of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Team at this moment made him so angry that his soul almost left his body.
"This is not the time to act impulsively. Everyone should follow instructions!"
Holy Spirit gritted his teeth and said, "If one of us can return alive, then let one of us return alive! Hurry up and go!!"
Long Haoyu remained unmoved, as did Cai'er.
All members of the first-class demon hunter team took a step forward.
This step produced a dull thud.
The dull, heavy sound reverberated in the heart of the Holy Spirit, and also in the hearts of the many knights of the Radiant Angel Knights who had folded their ranks.
"You young people..."
"Ah, with such a mindset, how can one not become a strong person!"
"In that case, let's fight our way out together!!"
Holy Spirit sighed heavily, offering no further advice on the matter, and focused his attention on the three imposing demon gods and their numerous guards.
Long Haoyu gently patted the white beast: "Little guy, we can't slack off anymore, we have to fight our way out of here."
"Otherwise, we'll just be slacking off with our eyes closed for the rest of our lives."
After speaking these words seriously, Long Haoyu tightened his grip on Wufeng and looked at Lin Xin.
Lin Xin immediately understood what Long Haoyu meant, and then took out several crystal bottles from the ring.
"Boss, here you go, this is the Spirit Explosion Pill!"
Lin Xin shouted loudly, and several crystal bottles were thrown at Long Haoyu, Long Haochen and the others.
Members of the Radiant Angel Knights who were relatively close by also received the Spirit-Burning Pills and were fully prepared for a bloody battle.
The little white beast stood up from Long Haoyu's shoulder, its little mouth slightly pouting as it murmured softly.
It enjoys slacking off in its spare time, but it is indeed very reliable when it comes to serious matters.
Long Haoyu's words made him ready for a fight, but he didn't immediately get into the zone. Instead, he looked at Lin Xin.
It was chattering away at Lin Xin, while also communicating telepathically with Long Haoyu.
Through their telepathic connection, Long Haoyu managed to understand some of what the little guy was trying to say.
"You want the Spirit-Exploding Pill?"
"Do you have any other ideas?"
Long Haoyu asked in a deep voice, and seeing the little white beast nodding its head solemnly, he immediately said to Lin Xin, "Lin Xin, give me two more Spirit Explosion Pills!"
Without hesitation, Lin Xin reflexively took out two more Spirit Explosion Pills and tossed them into Long Haoyu's hand.
The little white beast snatched the Explosive Spirit Pill from Long Haoyu's hand and swallowed it whole with a single bite.
