Chapter 111 Reinforcements?

The blazing flames distorted the surrounding air.

The two demons that had just emerged from the dissipating white mist paused. The tree demon with its rough skin and transparent amber bark, along with the mountain beside it, could also feel the power of the flames.

Especially since the fear from Li Jianghan's sword strike was still lingering, they let out a roar and instinctively attacked.

The mountain throws out a large rock, and the tree spirit manipulates the plants.

On the muddy ground, countless vines broke through the soil and stones flew, trying to stop Zheng Long from getting closer.

"Zheng Long, you fucking come back here!"

Behind him, someone was calling his name in the heavy rain.

Zheng Long ignored him until he was hit by a large rock and stumbled. Looking at the wildly growing vines in front of him, he knew he could no longer get any closer.

But that was enough. Zheng Long forced a smile and prepared to detonate himself.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a sonic boom suddenly rang out.

Through the rain, a dazzling energy arrow shot out, creating visible shockwaves.

The target was those two seventh-rank demons.

Sensing the threat, the tree spirit abandoned its attempt to block Zheng Long and instead turned all its vines around to form a thick wooden wall in an attempt to block the arrows.

But the wooden wall was like paper in front of the arrows, easily pierced through.

Its momentum didn't diminish; it pierced through the tree demon's body as well, only slowing down after getting covered in a viscous liquid that was unclear whether it was blood.

"boom!"

A large crater was blasted into the ground, with rubble, mud, and rain splashing everywhere. Even the ninth-rank demons in the vicinity were severely injured by the aftershocks.

The tree spirit immediately let out a mournful roar, and a viscous liquid flowed from its wound.

"Reinforcements?!"

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction from which the arrow had come, their hearts pounding wildly in their chests.

"Zheng Long, cease combustion!"

Deputy Director Zhang was the first to react, shouting to stop Zheng Long. Although the burning ability and lifespan are irreversible, as long as it doesn't self-destruct, at least the person can survive.

"Ryuichi"

In the heavy rain, a ball of eerie green flame suddenly burst forth, the sound of horses' hooves like war drums, splashing up mud.

Only then did everyone realize that it was a monstrous horse covered in flames. The rainwater was not evaporated; instead, it seemed as if they could not touch it and they all missed it.

On the ghost horse, a figure wielding a long spear charged straight toward the seventh-grade tree demon.

"boom!"

The newcomer was Shen Qing, who swept his spear horizontally, the force of which was immense, fueled by the momentum of his charge.

Not only did it knock the several-meter-tall tree demon to the ground, but it also used the momentum to lift the mountain demon next to it, which was less than two meters tall but known for its strength, into the air.

The two demons crashed heavily into the mud, splashing up large amounts of mud.

One man, one horse, one big spear—he charged headlong into the battlefield.

Because of the heavy rain, a mudslide actually occurred on the road ahead, making it impossible for cars to pass. People could only walk, so Shen Qing rode his quirky horse ahead of time.

But one person is only an eighth-rank official.

Although everyone present knew to some extent about Shen Qing's combat strength, they still saw no chance of winning.

There are now seven seventh-rank demons.

Of the five people from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, Li Jianghan traded one for one, sacrificing himself to take one demon with him, leaving two more demons unattended.

If there are enough people, with the help of Shen Qing, or even other team leaders, it is possible to deal with a seventh-grade demon.

However, we are currently short-staffed, and each person needs to handle one-to-many tasks.

Even if Shen Qing could handle a seventh-rank beast on his own, there was still one that had no rivals, not to mention that the white demon among them was agile and was eyeing everyone menacingly.

And just as everyone expected.

"Shen Qing, be careful of the others."

Fang Shu hadn't yet spoken his words of reminder.

Shen Qing was planning to take advantage of the situation to pursue the tree demon, but suddenly, he felt a bone-chilling coldness behind him.

He instinctively retracted his horse and lowered his body to dodge, but a white shadow almost grazed his ear, and a sharp pain shot through him.

Shen Qing then noticed that there was also a nimble seventh-rank demon staring intently at him.

The emotions that had just risen instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

The two demons that Shen Qing had just overturned had crawled out of the mud pit and were roaring angrily.

Zheng Long was also aware of the situation, and his eyes became resolute once again.

"See you in the next life, everyone!"

He charged toward the two demons again, reaching out to push Shen Qing away, but she didn't budge.

"Captain Zheng, now is not the time for sacrifice."

But Shen Qing's tone was serious.

Behind him, a pair of illusory arms emerged from his shoulder blades, suppressing Zheng Long's flames with sheer power.

Push it backward.

The Night Owl leader, who was closest to the group, dealt with the two eighth-rank demons in front of him and immediately caught the already injured Zheng Long to prevent him from doing anything rash.

Incidentally, they also kept the mountain demon next to the tree spirit occupied.

"What kind of tactic is this now?"

Li Jianghan murmured that Shen Qing's various methods were completely beyond his knowledge. Only then did everyone notice that Shen Qing actually had four arms.

At this moment, the tree demon launched another attack, countless vines bursting forth from the ground. The white demon seized the opportunity to launch another sneak attack.

However, without turning his head, Shen Qing produced a large, dark bow from his illusory arm.

He held a dark black spear in his hand, pressing down on the seventh-rank tree demon in front of him.

He swept away all the vines and branches that the opponent was attacking frantically, and with the illusory arm behind him drawing a bow, he still had the strength to stop the white demon from launching a sneak attack.

"Whoosh!!"

Arrows were shot out one after another.

Even though the white demon was exceptionally agile, Shen Qing seemed to always know its next move, and every time it was about to launch a sneak attack, an arrow would fall.

once.

Two times, three times.

The white demon's eyes revealed a human-like bewilderment and doubt.

It is merely agile and nimble, not capable of stealth.

Others might not be able to react in time, but Shen Qing, whose soul, eyesight, and even hearing far surpassed those of other supernatural beings of the same level, could completely predict its movements.

The experience gained from his two encounters with Lu Tianzhuang was now being used on the demons with surprisingly good results.

"roar!"

Both of the seventh-rank demons possessed intelligence.

It wasn't just the anger of being outmaneuvered by a mere eighth-rank cultivator in a two-on-one fight, but also the realization that the human before them was no ordinary being.

Anger and fear intertwined, and they began to cooperate.

The countless vines no longer served to attack, but instead restricted Shen Qing's movements, forming one obstacle after another.

The white demon then took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

For a moment, Shen Qing also began to feel the strain, but since they were extra demons, no one else could help him at all.

Everyone is fighting against many; even if one demon is killed, a new one immediately takes its place.

The demons seemed endless.

According to the rescue time, only five minutes have passed. What usually takes half an hour feels like an eternity to everyone.

Everyone's wounds started to multiply, and their strength was rapidly depleting.
