Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Silently reciting these words in his heart, Abao gradually straightened up.

The Purple Dragon Sky-Shattering Sword pointed into the black night sky.

The gradient of purple seemed to reflect his now firm conviction.

Now, things are about to get even more interesting!!

Chapter 255: Backlash of the Magic Runes

The darkness of night began to fade.

On the distant horizon, the first light of dawn appeared.

The dim light slowly dispelled the darkness of the demon land, and the distant scenery could begin to be seen clearly.

Long Haoyu and his group did not walk very fast. They had forcibly overdrawn their spiritual energy, and his current condition was quite bad.

Fortunately, Long Haochen and Cai'er were there to support him the whole time, otherwise he really didn't know if he could have made it back to Exorcism Pass.

perhaps……

If you are alone, the best option right now is to find a quiet place to meditate and recover.

Before long, the group arrived at the place where the ten demon-hunting teams had parted ways the previous night.

Long Haoyu and the others had just arrived when Yang Wenzhao's Tier 2 Demon Hunter Team and Duan Yi Duanling's Tier 3 Demon Hunter Team were waiting for them.

The other demon-hunting teams also arrived here one after another. Everyone's face was full of fatigue, but beneath the fatigue was a lot of excitement.

It is evident that they all successfully completed their respective categories of tasks in this Military Mission No. 1.

Upon seeing Long Haoyu and his group return, especially seeing that Long Haoyu was being helped back by Long Haochen and Cai'er, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi immediately stepped forward.

"Brother Haoyu, what's going on...?"

Yang Wenzhao asked with concern, "Has something gone wrong with your mission?"

Duan Yi didn't ask, but she was still very concerned.

As the second and third place winners in the individual competition of the Demon Hunter Team Selection Tournament, the two were well aware of how powerful Long Haoyu was.

They have all completed their respective tasks, so there is no reason for Long Haoyu not to complete his.

"We encountered that demon commander, and my brother fought against him."

"Moreover, the three great demon gods also appeared, so our mission this time has failed."

Long Haochen explained on behalf of Long Haoyu.

While explaining these things, they also recounted the mission they were carrying out.

Yang Wenzhao and his group were dealing with fifth-order demons, and there was only one sixth-order demon as the leader of the team.

however……

As soon as Long Haochen finished explaining, the two of them turned to look at each other, unable to believe what they were hearing.

A squad consisting entirely of sixth-tier demons?

They also encountered the newly appointed commander of the demon race and the three great demon gods.

Their pupils seemed to tremble as Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi imagined what would happen if they led their respective demon-hunting teams into a situation like Long Haoyu's group.

"Brother Yang, Brother Duan, let's go back first!"

"Thank you for waiting here."

Long Haochen spoke again, pulling the shocked Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi back to reality.

After saying this, the entire first-class demon hunter team continued their journey back towards the Exorcism Pass.

Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi watched the members of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Team walk further and further away, their expressions still filled with horror.

"When I saw the fallen demon gods, I could feel the responsibility they carried and their power."

"I'm afraid that in just a few years, a titled demon hunter team will emerge from our generation, right?"

Duan Yi was speechless for a moment before replying: "A new titled Demon Hunter team should be born soon, so we should be even more diligent."

"Even if the hope is extremely slim, we must try our best to become a titled demon hunter team. This is our lifelong pursuit!"

Yang Wenzhao nodded and decisively returned to the second-level Demon Hunter Squad to begin overseeing the evacuation.

Duan Yi wasn't idle either; the other demon-hunting teams also began to retreat, keeping an eye on their surroundings as they did so.

……

Exorcism Pass.

The sky was now completely bright.

All ten demon-hunting teams returned to the foot of Exorcism Pass. The soldiers on the city walls were on high alert, ready to deal with any possible changes to ensure that the ten demon-hunting teams could enter the city safely.

However, the demon army made no move until everyone returned to the Demon Exorcism Pass.

As the person who arranged this Military Mission No. 1, Sheng Yue arrived at the border as soon as he learned that all ten Demon Hunter teams had returned.

Upon arriving, he immediately noticed the paleness on Long Haoyu's face and frowned.

Just as he was about to ask, Gao Yingjie emerged from the shadows.

"Sir, the mission is 90% complete. The No. 1 Demon Hunter Squad has failed!"

"The demon mobile squad deliberately set a trap, so the first-class demon hunter team was surrounded and encountered the newly appointed commander of the demons."

"Haoyu fought a battle against the newly appointed commander of the Demon Clan in the same realm. He just received a promise to return with everyone, but there will be no chance to hunt down the mobile squad."

Sheng Yue cared a lot about whether the mission was successful or not, but when she saw Long Haoyu's pale face and listened to Gao Yingjie's report, her heart immediately jumped into her throat.

Once Gao Yingjie finished reporting everything, he immediately became furious and glared at me, saying, "Gao Yingjie, what are you good for? What's the point of reporting all this to me now?"

"Why didn't you just bring them back then? Why did you send Haoyu to fight someone at the same level? If something really went wrong, could you take responsibility for that?!"

Gao Yingjie: "My lord, the three great demon gods are all here, and they have been keeping a close watch on me!"

Saint Moon: "...Tell me the details of what happened at that time."

Gao Yingjie didn't dare to delay and promptly recounted the incident of Long Haoyu fighting with A Bao.

As detailed as possible, as detailed as possible.

After everything was said, Sheng Yue's expression suddenly became much more serious.

"Everyone, return to your respective camps first. We'll discuss this matter later!"

With a furrowed brow, Sheng Yue decisively made the decision.

Instead of widely publicizing the fight between Long Haoyu and A Bao, they chose to suppress it for the time being.

Gao Yingjie understood Sheng Yue's thoughts and immediately signaled Long Haoyu and the others to head back to their respective camps first.

Although he had recovered a lot along the way, Long Haoyu's body was not as weak as he had imagined.

But Cai'er kept supporting Long Haoyu, and after hearing her great-grandfather's arrangement, she decisively helped Long Haoyu back to the camp.

Long Haoyu did not refuse, and let Cai'er and Long Haochen help him walk towards the camp.

After taking only two steps, Long Haoyu's breathing suddenly became heavy, and a lot of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The demonic runes that had been 'branded' onto his body since the battle with A Bao seemed to suddenly turn against him.

A burning sensation rolled over his skin.

257. Chapter 256 Burning Blood

"Cai'er, Haochen, quickly take me back!"

Long Haoyu whispered, realizing that his body seemed to be starting to feel off, and urged them on.

The two were very close to Long Haoyu, and they could vaguely feel a scorching aura emanating from him.

"Haoyu, you..." Cai'er asked with concern.

Long Haoyu shook his head slightly, offering no explanation.

Cai'er and Long Haochen noticed Long Haoyu's unusual behavior and, not daring to delay any longer, took Long Haoyu back to the camp.

Back at the camp, the three huddled together, with the other two focusing their concerned gazes on Long Haoyu.

"I may have suffered some backlash from the battle with that demon commander, and I need to meditate for a while."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

After speaking very quickly, Long Haoyu immediately sat cross-legged on the bed.

It was blunt and firmly planted in front of him, like a black iron stake.

Cai'er didn't move, just stood in front of Long Haoyu with a stubborn expression, no matter what Long Haoyu said, she had no intention of leaving.

"Haochen, go out and keep watch for your brother. Don't let anyone in while I'm meditating."

Long Haoyu saw Cai'er's stubbornness and knew that it was impossible to persuade her on this matter, so he turned his attention to Long Haochen.

The magical runes on his body are now even more unusual than before, but if this happens during battle, he can still explain it to everyone.

But now that they've all returned to the exorcism realm, if people see these things again, they'll be unable to defend themselves.

At least……

He hasn't figured out how to explain this situation yet.

Long Haochen was quite surprised, but seeing the firm look in Long Haoyu's eyes, he didn't ask any questions about it and decisively walked out of the tent.

Puff puff--

No sooner had Long Haochen left than the strangeness in Long Haoyu reached its peak.

The clothes on his upper body were forcibly torn off like rags, revealing demonic runes on his body.

The purple and black demonic patterns exuded a strong eerie aura.
