When Gong Qian woke up, she did intend to go support them, but as she sat up, she found her lower body completely numb.
It was precisely because of this that she obediently accepted Zhang Shou's treatment.
Otherwise, she would have long since run off to beat up Demos.
As the three of them were at their wits' end, Gong Qian's phone rang.
Gong Qian immediately answered the call upon seeing it, saying, "Minister!"
"Xiao Yi, are you alright?" On the other end of the phone, Yu Lie immediately asked with concern.
Gong Qian quickly replied, "I'm not seriously injured. I'm currently receiving treatment and will be able to move again soon."
"Good, good, good. Then rest assured and receive your treatment. Reinforcements will arrive very soon," Yu Lie reassured her from the other end of the phone.
Gong Qian asked, "Minister, what kind of monster was that, exactly?"
Although she knew Zhou Tai had the special ability to unearth the potential of extraordinary creatures, that monster was simply too strong.
"That was Demos, a Great Demon from the Upper Abyss, a Dragon-level Upper Rank. If it hadn't been summoned here, but encountered in the Abyss, most Dragon-levels wouldn't be its match. It seems external forces have intervened this time," Yu Lie replied.
Yu Xian and the other two were all startled upon hearing this. They had thought it was Zhou Tai until just now, and only now realized that their enemy was no longer Zhou Tai, but Demos.
"Damn it!" Gong Qian clenched her fists, gritting her teeth.
Her father had been killed by external forces, and as a martyr's family member, she had received a drop of Pangu Blood.
Therefore, what she hated most were those foreign forces that had infiltrated the country. The Sin-Cleansing Squad's primary target was also these dog-like individuals cultivated by such forces.
"Alright, just rest assured. It's good that you're fine," Yu Lie instructed.
After hanging up the phone, Gong Qian put her phone away. With her heart heavy, she punched the ground, and the earth instantly trembled. A small stone flew past Zhang Shou's cheek, instantly leaving a bloody mark.
Gong Qian reacted and quickly apologized profusely. Zhang Shou wiped the blood from his face, swallowed, and forced a smile, saying, "It's fine, I have thick skin and flesh. This small injury is nothing."
He was already thinking to himself, if anyone married this woman, and she accidentally hit them in their sleep, wouldn't they meet their great-grandmother in minutes?
Hiss.
Can't provoke, can't provoke.
...
...
On the other side, Tianxuan carried Moye on her back, holding Jin Sheng and Gan Jiang in each hand, moving quickly towards the outer perimeter.
She was anxious, knowing that the longer she delayed, the stronger the backlash Tian Shu would endure. She had to find a doctor to settle the three of them as quickly as possible, then return to the squad.
Although Gan Jiang and Moye appeared to be more severely injured on the surface, the reality was that Jin Sheng's injuries were more serious.
This was mainly because Jin Sheng's power was precisely incompatible with Demos's demonic power. When Demos lifted the Golden Lion that Jin Sheng had transformed into, the demonic power was like lightning piercing into Jin Sheng's body, which was why Jin Sheng was severely wounded by a single blow.
Tianxuan quickly moved up and down the mountains. Suddenly, she saw a middle-aged man in military uniform approaching.
"Uncle!" Tianxuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately called out.
Jin Dajun walked forward, glanced at Jin Sheng in Tianxuan's arms, and smiled, "This kid seems to have taken a big hit this time. Tianxuan, you take them for treatment first. I'll go meet the Great Demon from the Abyss next."
Although he was only a Tiger Class Upper Rank, this was Earth. Even if he couldn't defeat Demos, he could at least buy time.
Qilin Headquarters' plan was very simple: for him to delay as much as possible. Once it was noon tomorrow, General Zhao Yi would be teleported back.
Moreover, several other generals would also be teleported over this time to jointly kill Demos!
This was a great opportunity to kill a Great Demon from the Abyss. Once Demos was killed, its entire body would be a treasure. It was estimated that many Dragon-level pieces of equipment could be forged, and its blood could also be used for various research, even developing new extraordinary systems.
Jin Dajun bid farewell to Tianxuan and continued to walk forward.
He twisted his neck, emitting a crisp crack, then clenched his fists.
Although he appeared calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care about his son, the anger in his heart had already begun to burn fiercely.
"Demos, hehe."
Jin Dajun let out a low laugh and took off his military uniform, storing it in his ring.
He then took off his shirt and put it away, revealing his muscular upper body. Then, his skin gradually turned red, his hair also began to burn, and his eyes emitted a golden light.
Blazing Vajra Art!
This was a body-hardening cultivation technique. When cultivated to mastery, the entire body would be indestructible, immune to all poisons, resistant to water and fire, and possess immense strength.
And Jin Dajun had not only cultivated it to mastery but had also consumed Pangu Blood for enhancement, increasing its power even further. He pushed off the ground with his feet, and his figure instantly transformed into a red light, rapidly approaching the battlefield.
On the battlefield ahead.
Although Demos was immobilized, Zhou Tai Number Nine, who stood on its shoulder, could still move. However, he happened to be entangled by a golden thread around his foot, making it difficult to pull free for a while.
He kept pulling with force, but no matter how much strength he used, he couldn't pull his foot out.
After struggling for a while, he stopped struggling. He took out the knife he used to cut his wrist and decisively cut off his own foot.
"So useless. In the end, I still have to do it myself."
Zhou Tai Number Nine first scorned Demos, then quickly slid down Demos's back to the ground.
He landed on one foot and turned to look at Tian Shu and the others. The Kill Demon Squad members also noticed Zhou Tai Number Nine, and many of them's expressions changed slightly, realizing that something bad was about to happen.
They were already giving their all just to restrain Demos, and Tian Shu had even begun burning his essence.
They were currently immobile. If anyone cut off their spiritual power supply, Demos would break free in minutes, but not cutting off the supply meant they couldn't move, making them lambs to the slaughter in front of Zhou Tai Number Nine.
"Fear, tremble. Who should I kill first?" Zhou Tai Number Nine limped towards the crowd, speaking sinisterly.
Tian Shu didn't even look at Zhou Tai Number Nine. At this moment, he said, "Tian Ji, Tian Quan, burn your essence. Yu Heng, go deal with him."
"Yes, Captain!" Tian Ji and Tian Quan's eyes instantly turned fierce, saying in unison.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai Number Nine immediately charged, roaring, "You won't succeed! Just obediently die!"
Too late!
Tian Ji and Tian Quan's expressions changed. Burning essence also required time.
It's over.
The members of the Kill Demon Squad looked at the approaching Zhou Tai Number Nine, and despair began to fill their hearts.
At this moment, a red light flew from afar like a meteor. Zhou Tai Number Nine's face showed a look of madness, his arm muscles bulging, ready to stab Tian Shu to death first.
But the next second, he felt a huge heat coming from behind him. As soon as he turned his head to look back, the red light flashed, and he was instantly crushed to death by the enormous air pressure.
Boom!
Jin Dajun landed on the ground, one foot stepping on the disfigured Zhou Tai Number Nine, and said with a laugh, "Hahahahaha, good, good, I'm not too late. You all retreat quickly. I'll take over from here."
"Understood!"
The Kill Demon Squad members all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately carried Tian Shu and ran.
As they ran, the golden threads on Demos's body instantly snapped, and Demos immediately let out a roar.
