Boom, boom, boom ~Spiritual Energy User grenades exploded in scarlet fireballs in front of the formation, and the impact wave sent shrapnel mixed with demonic energy flying, temporarily slowing the Bull-horned Demon's charge. Following this, fireballs, ice cones, wind blades, and other Spiritual Energy User spells rained down, tearing open gaps in the demon horde."Roar!"The Bull-horned Demons let out deafening roars, their black scales glowing eerily in the Explosions, as they remarkably withstood most of the damage.Scattered fragments embedded in the gaps of their scales, yet they seemed oblivious, their hooves, covered in thick calluses, trampling over flames and ice like armored chariots, charging fiercely towards the camp.The several demons at the very front exhaled two streams of black smoke from their nostrils, and the crescent-shaped horns on their heads glowed with a venomous green light—that was the unique pressure of a Five-Stage Demon.Seeing this, Shen Juan's heart sank sharply.The Third Battalion's Five-Stage Psionicists capable of fighting now, besides him, only included Lu Sheng. But Lu Sheng was a mercenary by origin, without bloodline blessings, and facing demons of the same stage was practically throwing his life away.Alas ~A nearly inaudible sigh dissipated in the wind, and the last trace of hesitation in Shen Juan's eyes was replaced by resolve. He gripped his longsword.The sword gleamed with a chilling cold light in the dimness, and he was the first to charge out of the defensive line.!A crescent-shaped frost sword qi swept out, and wherever it passed, the air condensed into tiny ice shards.However, those few Five-Stage Bull-horned Demons simply took a step forward, their demonic energy erupting like a black giant wave, colliding with the sword qi."Crack!" With a crisp sound, the cold energy instantly dissipated.Boom, boom, boom ~The Spiritual Energy Users in the back row frantically threw Spiritual Energy User grenades and cast spells, attempting to support the front line.Explosions tore open blood mist in the demon's rear formation, and the severed limbs of lower-stage demons rained down. But this level of casualties was truly insignificant to the vast demon horde.They still surged forward like a black tide, their hooves shaking the ground, as if they would flatten the entire camp in the next second.Finally, the two sides clashed at close quarters.Six Five-Stage Demons stood like iron towers, instantly surrounding Shen Juan and Lu Sheng in the center. The other demons, like a breached flood, rushed towards the warriors throughout the camp, Spiritual Energy User beams and demonic claws intertwining in the chaos, with screams rising and falling.Puff! Puff!The Bull-horned Demons' scales were incredibly hard. Swords and blades from Spiritual Energy Users of the same stage could at most leave a white mark on them.In contrast, human warriors, even if merely grazed by a demon's iron fist, would suffer broken bones and torn tendons.A young soldier had just used a wind blade to cut off a demon's ear when the demon retaliated with a punch to his chest. He flew out like a leaf, and by the time he landed, he was lifeless, the sound of bones shattering mixed with the dull thud of ruptured internal organs, piercing one's eardrums."Old Li! A-Fei!"Lu Sheng's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.He watched helplessly as two brothers he had fought alongside were trampled by demons, his heart feeling as if it had been crushed by a giant boulder, so painful he was almost suffocating.He wanted to rush over, but the two Five-Stage Demons in front of him had blocked all escape routes. Every parry made his arm numb, and blood beads seeped from the cracked skin between his thumb and forefinger, dripping onto the blade with a "sizzle."Shen Juan's situation was even more perilous.Relying on his Bronze-grade Frost Bloodline, he barely managed to hold off four Five-Stage Demons, but the ice net woven by his sword qi constantly shattered under the impact of demonic energy.Whenever he condensed cold energy to try and freeze the demons' movements, they would ram him fiercely with their horns, causing his qi and blood to churn, and blood had long since seeped from the corners of his mouth.He could feel his stamina rapidly draining, his arms starting to go numb, and the frost shield he relied on for survival was now as thin as a window pane."Puff!"Lu Sheng finally couldn't hold on. A demon seized the moment when his old strength was exhausted, and its iron fist, with a sharp whistle that tore through the air, slammed squarely into his chest. He flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily against the rock wall, a section of his sternum caving in.The blood foam he coughed up was mixed with bone fragments."Lu Sheng!" Shen Juan's attention was momentarily diverted, and his shoulder was instantly torn open with a deep, bone-visible wound. Demonic energy seized the opportunity to invade his body, gnawing at his meridians like countless poisonous insects.Various parts of the camp had become a living hell. The warriors' Spiritual Energy User energy bounced off the demons' scales, while every punch and claw from the demons meant someone was injured or dead.Some had their throats pierced by horns, others were trampled into meat paste. The medical tent was collapsed by demons, and the wounded inside didn't even have time to scream before they were swallowed by darkness.Shen Juan watched all of this, the small flame of resistance in his heart being extinguished bit by bit by despair.He knew he wouldn't last much longer. Commander Yan's reinforcements, he feared, would never arrive.This was the grave for all of them.Boom!Just as Shen Juan was on the brink of despair, the dark purple clouds were suddenly torn open by a huge mouth, and an even more dazzling purple light surged out from the rift, as if dyeing the entire sky the color of amethyst."What is that?!" A warrior exclaimed in surprise.Immediately after, purple lightning filled the sky, like a reversed Milky Way, striking down with a sharp whistle that tore through the firmament.These lightning bolts were not chaotic; instead, they were like spears of divine punishment with eyes, precisely piercing into the Bull-horned Demon horde. The moment the purple lightning struck the ground, it exploded, forming a lightning storm circle several meters in diameter, electric arcs coiling around the demons' black scales like living snakes.Crack, crack, crack—a series of teeth-grinding scorching sounds rose and fell. Those scales that could withstand Spiritual Energy User spells were as fragile as paper in the face of the purple lightning. Wherever the electric arcs passed, the scales instantly charred and cracked, and the demons' muscles carbonized at a visible speed.A Five-Stage Bull-horned Demon had just raised its iron fist when it was simultaneously struck by three bolts of purple lightning. Its massive body, like an iron block thrown into a furnace, disintegrated into flying ash in the blink of an eye, not even a trace of demonic energy escaping.With just one wave of Sky Thunderfall, seventy percent of the charging Bull-horned Demons vanished.The remaining demons retreated in fear, the green light in their eyes tinged with terror, letting out frightened roars at the sky—they had never seen such overbearing power.Shen Juan's pupils contracted sharply, followed by a surge of immense joy in his heart.Lu Sheng struggled to raise his head, his caved-in chest heaving with rapid breaths, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.The surviving warriors all stopped their actions, staring blankly at the purple lightning filling the sky. A few seconds later, wild joy, like a tide, engulfed them:"It's reinforcements! It really is reinforcements!""My God! What kind of power is this? It's terrifying!""We're saved! We don't have to die!"The purple lightning did not stop; instead, it grew even more violent. When the second wave of Sky Thunderfall struck, electric arcs intertwined into a massive lightning net, covering all the demons that had slipped through.Even Five-Stage Demons could only let out agonizing wails in the lightning net, their bodies convulsing as they fell to the ground, the muscles beneath their scales shredded by the lightning, finally turning into charcoal with a crackling sound."That is..." Shen Juan looked towards the source of the lightning, his heart skipping a beat.In the high sky, a figure stood in the air, a black combat uniform outlining his tall physique. His face was stern, his eyes calmly sweeping over the battlefield.Most chilling was the purple lightning swirling around him; those bolts of Sky Thunderfall, like docile pets, danced and flowed at his fingertips.And in the depths of his eyes, electric light, originating from the Sky Thunderfall, flickered, as if the thunderous power of the entire world was controlled by his hand, like a god of thunder descended.The purple lightning was at his beck and call, striking down ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) again with the movement of his raised hand.The last few Five-Stage Bull-horned Demons tried to condense demonic energy to resist, but they were directly pierced by even thicker lightning pillars. Their bodies crumbled inch by inch in the lightning, and even their souls were completely purified.In just a few breaths, the demon horde, which had been pressing like a tide moments ago, had vanished without a trace, leaving only scorched marks on the ground and the lingering aftershocks of the lightning storm.The figure in the high sky slowly descended, the purple lightning around him gradually receding, leaving only a few electric arcs lingering at his fingertips.As he landed, his gaze swept over the surviving Third Battalion warriors, finally resting on Shen Juan."Are you Shen Juan, Battalion Commander Shen?"His calm voice carried a hint of gentleness. As he spoke, a green light emerged from his palm, like a tender sprout breaking through the soil in early spring, carrying a vibrant life force, instantly spreading throughout the entire camp.The green light fell upon everyone. At the sites of wounds scorched by demonic energy, granulation tissue grew at a visible, rapid pace.Where scabs fell off, pink, new flesh was revealed.Lu Sheng's caved-in chest felt a tingling itch. He looked down and saw his shattered sternum slowly resetting under the embrace of the green light, and even the chaotic demonic energy within his body was purified completely.Most astonishing were the disabled warriors. Under the green light's shroud, a dazzling green glow suddenly burst from their severed limbs, and a brand new arm grew from the bone stump. Eyes grew in empty eye sockets, and half-severed thighs returned to their original state."My hand—my hand grew back!" The young warrior trembled as he moved his new arm, tears mixed with bloodstains rolling down, his voice full of incoherent ecstasy.Lu Sheng suddenly stood up, the severe pain in his chest completely gone, his qi and blood more abundant than before he was injured. He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, and looked at Qin Tian in disbelief.The wounds on Shen Juan's body healed rapidly, the demonic energy within him dissipated by the green light, and warm energy flowed through his meridians. He looked at the unextinguished green light in Qin Tian's palm, took a deep breath, and asked with immense respect:"I am Shen Juan. May I ask who you are?"A faint smile appeared on Qin Tian's face: "Crimson Gold Battle Group, the new commander of the Third Battalion—Qin Tian."What, he's the new commander!At that moment, everyone stared intently at Qin Tian, an uncontrollable look of wild joy appearing in their eyes.
