Chapter 287: Slaughter, Ambush, Upper Rank Celestial Demon
This operation is urgent, but the quality of the United University is here.
No risk-taking, no seeking merit; steady progress won't result in personnel casualties.
After cutting out, he saw quite a few messages in the small group with him and some friends.
Xu Qingfeng:
[I just killed a Withered Wood Puppet while rescuing someone. Everyone, see how much this thing can be worth (grinning)]
Meng Chuan opened the picture to check.
Xu Qingfeng got the materials, which are the galls from the lower-ranking Celestial Demon.
This kid carries [Cloud Intent], just like his own killing intent.
Both belong to a branch of willpower that can indeed break through the defense of the Celestial Demon Force Field.
He also picked up a pile of these things.
Just a single angry roar during the recent rescue of residents exploded at least a dozen pieces. Don't know how much they can be worth.
Seeing Xu Qingfeng capable of killing a Celestial Demon, Meng Jiaolong expressed envy, while Chen Xuewu exclaimed Brother Xu was awesome.
Chen Xuewu also came in with the military school, currently mingling with the Defense Army playing with guns.
Although he took down quite a few lower-ranking Celestial Demons, the dropped materials were all confiscated.
Just enough to offset the cost of custom bullets...
Meng Chuan smiled lightly, @ Xu Qingfeng after saying nothing.
Took a photo of his backpack, then uploaded it.
[Can someone calculate how much all these are worth?]
[...Damn!]
Five hides, eighteen galls, Xu Qingfeng roughly estimated that it's worth at least around four million.
[Master Infinite Fist, can you share a bit with me?]
[Buzz off.]
After briefly joking around and seeing friends were fine.
Meng Chuan continued to remind about safety, then got up to leave and hunt for prey.
Can't waste time; it's all money!
...
West block.
The terrifying crash stopped, and Meng Chuan stretched out veiny arms.
Once again extracted the True Spirit from the chest of the Celestial Demon beneath him.
In this boundless night, wearing a pure black demonic rabbit inner armor, he seemed like a Death God harvesting the life of Celestial Demons.
After the Dragon Demon swallowed, he murmured:
"The fourth True Spirit, the Dragon Demon showed some reluctance while swallowing, almost full..."
On his slaughtering journey, his backpack had long been stuffed with materials from Celestial Demons.
Many galls from Withered Wood Puppets weren't picked by Meng Chuan because they simply couldn't fit.
Thinking about this, Meng Chuan felt genuinely a bit troubled.
Born from "poverty," he truly doesn't want to waste...
But there's no choice, his inner armor is indeed not bad in defense and extensibility, but it just lacks pockets...
"Sigh, I wonder if current technological strength can develop things like [space rings], [storage bags]..."
Meng Chuan recalled the novels he read in his past life, those magical storage treasures, and couldn't help but long for them.
If real, no matter how expensive, it must be bought. So convenient.
Returning to reality, the explosion sound nearby was deafening.
After the explosion, a burst of gunfire cracked.
Meng Chuan's Heart Spirit stirred, he looked up to the sky.
In the direction of the gunfire, signal flares simultaneously rose into the sky.
"Won't it be an upper-ranking Celestial Demon..."
He hadn't encountered an upper-ranking Celestial Demon all the way here yet.
First, their numbers are actually scarce; second, although Meng Chuan takes initiative in attacks, he's not reckless.
Only after sensing no danger does he approach to solve the Celestial Demons.
"Better go over and take a look; with gunfire and explosions, it should be military personnel besieging, perfect for gaining insight..."
At this moment, a ray of light had risen in the distant sky.
As the dawn neared, residents in the city had mostly been rescued.
Now was the final sweep round.
Just right that his backpack was full, and the Dragon Demon was also stuffed, going to see what kind of power an upper-ranking Celestial Demon possessed!
Relying on his own strength, coupled with having old Dong watching his back, giving him a bit more confidence.
Meng Chuan is fearless!
...
"Quickly throw the detonation pulse grenades!"
Boom!!!
Amidst the dust, a military-like command person led at the forefront, turned back to ask:
"How long until the university teachers arrive!"
Behind him, the adjutant dodged the sweep of the golden fungus threads, shouting:
"Commander! The Sky Network has already issued support to nearby personnel!
Just received a notification, people are heading towards us, they'll be here soon!"
Hiss...
Amid gunpowder smoke, a blurry figure "swished" by the adjutant's side.
With flowing dark golden hair, it emitted a hissing sound like a snake.
Not even close, as the second limit adjutant, he instantly felt a chilling cold and dizzy head.
Immediately, goosebumps covered him from neck to toes.
Next moment, surging dark green Demonic Qi completely enveloped him.
This Qi's concentration was extremely thick, nearly condensing into liquid in mid-air.
Dripping down to the ground, it spread everywhere along the brick seams.
In a blink, the area around the adjutant was completely covered.
His teeth chattered, as the center point of Demonic Qi's coverage, a strong suffocating feeling surged within.
"Run!"
Outside the Demonic Qi, the adjutant heard the shouts from the commander.
But just as he tried to take a step, he inhaled a considerable amount of Demonic Qi, his face turned pale, and his legs went weak as he collapsed to the ground.
Dense gunfire erupted around him.
In a daze, he opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of pus and blood, then fell to the ground, motionless.
In the next moment, a humanoid figure shrouded in green mist flickered instantly, already locking onto its next target...
"Everyone retreat! Withdraw from the battlefield! Stay away from this green Demonic Qi!"
The commander took a glance at his comrade's remains, suppressing his sorrow and shouting loudly.
In front of him stood a humanoid Celestial Demon with jade-like skin and dark golden hair.
This was the Upper Rank [Greenwood Enchantress].
Moreover, its momentum had already reached the apex of the Upper Rank, which is why the adjutant, also at the Second Limit, was instantly killed by it.
This is the plight faced by most of the Martial Arts Family.
Fighting a Celestial Demon of the same level, the chances of winning are slim, let alone when facing one at the Upper Rank apex.
The commander steadied himself, suddenly gathering momentum and charging towards the Celestial Demon.
The Demon Extermination Bullet had no effect on it, so he could only rely on his own body to buy time.
His strength was a bit stronger than the adjutant's, but he didn't know how long he could hold out...
...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Silhouettes soared through the air; several Second Limit teachers from the Martial Arts University, after arranging for the student Martial Artists, hurried to this battlefield.
One of them was tall and slender, grasping a long spear.
Golden True Qi wrapped around the spear shaft, appearing extremely mystical.
The newcomer was Lu Zhuxiao, a teacher from United University.
From a distance, he threw the long spear imbued with Metal True Qi; the Celestial Demon was engaged in a fierce battle with the commander, seemingly on the verge of completely eroding him.
Its strength was only a step away from the Title-level Celestial Demon; thus, its intelligence surpassed that of other ordinary Celestial Demons by far.
Moreover, its parent [Qimu] was quite empathic, thus it had a bit of wisdom.
Sensing danger from above, its feet surged with mycelium.
In the blink of an eye, it shifted hundreds of meters away, transforming into a green light to dodge the spear's radiance.
The military command noticed this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If support had arrived a few seconds later, he would have been a goner.
Boom—!
The Greenwood Enchantress swung back with a counterattack, reaching forcefully for his heart!
Thud!
Its dark green claws clashed against the knife edge; it was a teacher who had come with Lu Zhuxiao, casting the blade in support.
"Get it together! Let's surround and attack it together!"
Lu Zhuxiao rushed up as well, mentally preparing to retrieve his spear, but the next moment shocked him.
Dark golden mycelium grew ferociously, quickly entwining, wrapping around two True Martial weapons that posed a great threat to it, and flinging them away.
This level of intelligence was already incredibly close to that of humans.
Lu Zhuxiao signaled to the teacher beside him with a glance to retrieve the weapon first.
He then steadied his fists, True Qi combining with Martial Arts Momentum, encasing his body as he charged forward.
"I'll go first!"
Moments later, the three had formed an encircling stance.
Lu Zhuxiao's spear lunged like a golden dragon, the Metal True Qi tearing through the Demonic Qi Force Field.
Another teacher's dual blades swirled, cutting out silver arcs.
But it only produced blinding sparks on the Greenwood Enchantress's ink-green Force Field.
The military command took advantage of the moment to hurl a heavy punch at its chest, only to see the Celestial Demon's mycelium dance wildly, Demonic Qi nearly forming a substantial shield, deflecting all the attacks.
Despite the density of the three's attacks, they could not succeed.
Lu Zhuxiao observed the pervasive dark green miasma, feeling that its Demonic Qi was exceedingly abundant.
"This isn't right..."
He suddenly looked up and shouted:
"Stop aiming for the heart, the damn thing is a Void-type Celestial Demon.
Unlike the solid-type Greenwood Enchantress, attack the [Core] at its brow!"
...
"The brow?"
In the shadow under a distant eave, Meng Chuan quietly awaited the right moment.
The brutality of this thing was clear to him; charging up for a head-on collision would be foolhardy.
As he watched the fierce four-person battle ahead, the rampant mixture of True Demon Qi and Demonic Qi tore the surroundings apart with countless holes, leaving the place in shambles.
Regaining focus and sensing again, Meng Chuan was puzzled as to why Old Dong still hadn't made a move at this moment...
With Dong Yue being a Martial Arts Master trained both internally and externally, pinching this Celestial Demon to death should be no problem.
He had even called him several times, but there was no answer.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuan had an unsettling guess...
"Could it be that Old Dong left early, and something happened at the Demon Nest entrance?"
His heart suddenly sank, crouching deeper in the darkness, slowly moving towards the house behind.
He took out his phone, now slightly more at ease.
[The demonic origin of the Tree Demon is showing signs of decline, all Three-Limit Masters increase efforts to counterattack into the Demon Nest and completely eradicate the Celestial Demons.]
At the same time, the school leader also "patted" Dong Yue for a special reminder...
In the Demon Nest, all electronic products will be invalid, which explains why the calls couldn't go through.
"Now I have to rely on myself..."
Meng Chuan quietly returned to the hidden spot, pressing his fist blades together and gently rubbing them, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike stealthily...
...
On the front lines, once the three understood the Celestial Demon's nature, their assault strategy changed abruptly.
Spear and blade light rained down like a storm, aiming at the Greenwood Enchantress's brow.
The old demon, however, let out a sinister laugh, all the mycelium on its head suddenly hardening into the shape of a bronze ancient shield.
In a rain of sparks, it deflected the combined assault completely.
