High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

The rat demon let out a piercing scream, and with a powerful push off the ground with its hind legs, its massive body soared into the air like a mountain of flesh.

"His spiritual power is dissipating! Forget those two useless fools, attack together, kill him first, then combine your strength to break the barrier!"

"hiss!"

The snake demon also reacted, its huge body suddenly sliding along the ground, opening its blood-red maw to reveal two sharp fangs, and together with the rat demon, launched a deadly pincer attack on Liu Feng, who had lost an arm!

"Wang Lei! Chen Meng! Form an earth formation!"

Liu Feng roared, holding his sword in one hand, and unleashed his spiritual power from the fourth realm without reservation, condensing a thick spiritual light shield in front of him.

Wang Lei and Chen Meng also frantically squeezed out the remaining spiritual power in their bodies, and the two spells barely merged into Liu Feng's shield.

"BOOM!!!"

A terrifying impact echoed within the barrier.

The combined attack of the four demonic creatures was far beyond what the three exhausted lantern bearers could withstand. In particular, Liu Feng had lost an arm, his aura was in disarray, and a huge gap was instantly torn in their defensive formation.

The immense recoil force sent the three flying, crashing heavily into the ruins, spitting out blood. The situation had reached a critical juncture of life and death!

Just as the giant rat demon and snake demon opened their blood-red mouths, preparing to kill the three seriously injured people, Liu Feng and his companions, who were lying on the ground.

"Sizzle!"

The pale yellow barrier, on the verge of collapse, was suddenly torn open by a brute force from the outside, creating a huge gash!

Immediately afterwards, a jade pendant shimmering with a faint light, like a cannonball fired from a gun, piercing the air with a piercing sound, accurately struck between the two demons and Liu Feng and his companions.

"boom!"

The jade pendant instantly unleashed a terrifying recoil force.

The two fourth-realm demons, who were originally certain of victory, were not only forced to block their combined attack under the impact of this force, but their massive bodies were also shaken backward, plowing two deep furrows in the ground.

Before they could regain their footing, a burst of black flames suddenly shot into the sky from where the jade tablet had landed!

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

"What kind of fire is this?!"

The snake demon and the rat demon let out a terrified curse. Their proud, hard scales and thick fur were like paper in the face of the black flames, sizzling and burning instantly.

However, what made them even more desperate was yet to come.

A dozen or so yellowed talismans drifted down from mid-air. The cinnabar runes on the talismans flashed wildly and glaringly in the night.

The two monsters didn't even have time to react.

"burst."

A cold voice rang out in mid-air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

More than a dozen talismans detonated simultaneously! The raging black flames, like a long-suppressed volcanic eruption, instantly engulfed the entire ruins. The terrifying destructive power shattered the already crumbling barrier completely, turning it into countless swirling specks of light!

"Everyone outside, immediately retreat fifty meters!"

Shen Chang'an's voice came from the center of the black flames.

Outside the barrier, Director Ma Xiaoyuan, who had been intently watching the radar, heard this voice and, as if grasping at a lifeline, immediately grabbed the megaphone and roared hoarsely, "Everyone! Retreat fifty meters immediately! Retreat quickly! Medical team, prepare!"

"control!"

This was accompanied by Shen Chang'an's low shout once more.

Within that boundless sea of ​​black fire, dozens of chains, formed entirely from pure, destructive black flames, surged forth from all directions like raging dragons emerging from the sea.

These black flame chains are countless times more terrifying than the ordinary crimson chains used against Ji Xiaoyue at noon.

With their domineering sealing power, they instantly wrapped around the massive bodies of the rat demon and snake demon, binding them tightly like dumplings.

The two fourth-realm demons let out shrill screams, twisting their bodies frantically in an attempt to struggle, but under the terrifying burning and suppression of the black flames, all resistance seemed so futile.

Only then did Shen Chang'an's tall and slender figure land steadily beside Liu Feng, like a falling leaf.

He crouched down, placing one hand on Liu Feng's remaining left shoulder. A gentle yet pure spiritual energy quickly flowed into Liu Feng's body, forcibly calming the chaotic energy within him caused by the severed arm and the deadly poison, and temporarily suppressing the spread of the toxins at the wound.

"Phew... Thanks, bro."

Liu Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood, his complexion softened slightly, and his eyes were filled with gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

"Should we spare their lives?"

Shen Chang'an glanced at the two demons beside him who were still howling in pain within the black flame chains.

Liu Feng nodded weakly, pointing with his chin to a tactical backpack lying on the ground not far away: "Ahem... Keep it. The Municipal Bureau might interrogate them about their route. That bag... contains Soul-Locking Nails."

Shen Chang'an stood up, walked over and picked up the backpack covered in mud, unzipped it, and took out more than a dozen spirit-locking nails specially made by the Zhenye Division to deal with large monsters.

These metal spikes were a cold, dark silver color, covered with intricate sealing runes. Each one was about twenty or thirty centimeters long, and just looking at them sent chills down one's spine.

Shen Chang'an weighed the long nail in his hand, bent his knees slightly, and leaped into the sky like a bird.

He made a swift turn in mid-air, his hands becoming afterimages.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

With a sickeningly painful sound of flesh being pierced, Shen Chang'an precisely drove the Soul-Locking Nails into the snake demon's vital acupoint and the rat demon's key spinal joints. Five or six nails were driven into each of the demons!

"Smack."

Shen Chang'an landed, snapped his fingers, and instantly retracted the black flame chains that had bound the two demons. If they had burned any longer, these two fourth-realm demons would probably have been reduced to ashes.

As the black flames dissipated, the two enormous demonic creatures lay limp on the ground like two lumps of dead flesh. The Soul-Locking Nails had completely sealed their demonic cores and meridians, leaving them only to twitch in despair, unable to move even a finger.

After confirming that the demon had completely lost its threat, Shen Chang'an turned to look towards the area outside the blockade line, waved, and shouted loudly:

"Director Ma! Bring the logistics team and special forces in to handle the scene! The monster has been subdued!"

He then quickly turned around and carefully examined Wang Lei and Chen Meng's injuries again, his brow furrowed as he urged, "Medical team, hurry up! These three lantern bearers are seriously injured, especially your Captain Liu, who was poisoned and lost an arm. He needs immediate emergency treatment!"
