The Great Demon had extremely tenacious vitality.
Even with Jin Dajun and Gong Qian working together, it took tens of thousands of punches for Demos to finally breathe his last.
Moreover, Demos feigned death several times during this process, but the two of them ignored it, hammering him alive from his feigned death state until he revived, then hammering him back into a feigned death state.
After repeating this several times, Demos was utterly and completely dead.
However, the two still didn't stop, continuing to beat Demos until his eyeballs popped out of his sockets before they finally ceased.
“Dead?”
Jin Dajun kicked Demos’s corpse, remaining in place and unwilling to relax his guard.
On the other side, Gong Qian was drenched in sweat, feeling as if her arms no longer belonged to her, but despite her exhaustion, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
It was the First time she had fought so exhilaratingly.
Every punch landed squarely.
There was no need to consider the surroundings, no need to run around, no need to aim; she only needed to close her eyes and unleash her full power.
In fact, in this state, she could achieve perfect synergy between her waist and horse stance, unleashing her maximum strength. Demos was likely the First enemy to experience the full, unadulterated ten-ton power of her every punch.
At this moment, the staff originally responsible for teleporting General Zhao Yi and other generals looked at each other.
Demos was dead.
So, did they still need to continue?
The team leader immediately contacted his superior, who then contacted his own superior, and new instructions were quickly received: teleportation paused.
Qilin Headquarters began verifying the information. The call finally reached Jin Dajun, confirming that the Dragon-level Great Demon Demos had indeed been killed, but it wasn't Jin Dajun alone who eliminated Demos; Gong Qian and others had also helped.
Jin Dajun could recognize Gong Qian from her punches but had never seen Yu Xian’s bubbles, so he didn't know that the bubbles were Yu Xian’s ability.
But soon, the higher-ups learned about Yu Xian's MVP-level support ability from Gong Qian's phone call.
At Qilin Headquarters, the high-level executives gathered in the conference room. Minister Yu Lie hung up the phone, looked at the other deputy ministers, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Gentlemen, it has now been confirmed that the Dragon-level threat, Great Demon Demos, has been jointly killed by Jin Dajun, Gong Qian, and Yu Xian.”
“It’s not surprising that Gong Qian, possessing Pangu Great Strength Divine Power, can intervene in Dragon-level battles, but Yu Xian… isn’t he Ant Level?” one deputy minister asked in confusion.
When he First arrived at Silver City, he had even specifically touched Yu Xian’s head to confirm his level.
“Haha, not only did he act, but he was also the key to being able to kill Demos this time. We should discuss how to reward him,” Yu Lie said with a headache and a wry smile.
Yu Xian had disrupted the Alienated Insect’s plan and saved tens of millions of people in Silver City; all possible rewards had already been given.
Two days ago, Yu Xian had preemptively discovered Zhou Tai’s ability to excavate the potential of extraordinary creature bloodlines and reported it in time, bringing a potential Dragon-level crisis into the open. They were still discussing whether this was a First-Class Merit or a Second-Class Merit.
Who knew that before they could reach a conclusion, Yu Xian had already performed another great deed?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally, they all showed wry smiles. Pangu Blood had a limited annual quota. It had to be distributed within Qilin, and outside, there were also brother departments like Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise to share it with. Headquarters truly couldn't spare any more.
“If worst comes to worst, let’s reward him with a weapon. Should we build him a Dragon-level weapon?” a deputy minister said with a pained expression.
Yu Lie mused, “Later, let Jin Sheng ask Yu Xian what he wants, and then we’ll decide.”
Although everyone had a headache about how to reward Yu Xian, everyone actually understood very clearly how many resources had been saved this time because of Yu Xian.
If it weren't for Yu Xian, they would still need to expend a large amount of resources and take enormous risks to teleport several generals over. If any monster with unknown abilities were to slip into Earth from the abyss crack, it would instantly cause another Alienated Insect crisis.
Therefore, if Pangu Blood wasn't truly in short supply, rewarding Yu Xian again would not be out of the question.
Extraordinary individuals derive great power from within themselves; talent cannot be retained through deception or empty promises.
Qilin has always been clear about rewards and punishments: merits must be rewarded, and the reward must match the magnitude of the contribution. Only in this way can hearts be retained and unity achieved.
...
...
After Demos died, the demon cage gradually collapsed, but the ground was permanently transformed into a highly toxic swamp.
Currently, no one except Jin Dajun can enter the swamp, so the task of dismembering Demos fell to Jin Dajun. The entire blockade area is expected to remain sealed for a very long time, perhaps even being designated as a permanent forbidden zone.
The three of them, Yu Xian, returned to the barracks outside Silver City. The entire camp was in a frenzy. Gong Qian saw one of her team members had lost a leg, so she quickly bid farewell to Yu Xian and Zhang Shou and rushed to understand the situation.
“Qingniao, where’s the captain?”
Yu Xian quickly found Qingniao, who looked unwell and seemed to have just cried, in the crowd and asked.
“Xian Yu, the captain is still in critical condition, and… our team is all that’s left of us,” Qingniao looked up at Yu Xian, her eyes instantly reddening, and she said with a sob.
Originally, with the addition of Yu Xian and Zhang Shou, the Evil Extermination Squad had increased to seven members, but due to Demos’s sudden attack last night, three members had sacrificed themselves.
“Sister, what about Brother Yu Bo?” Zhang Shou asked nervously upon hearing this.
Qingniao glanced at Zhang Shou and sadly shook her head. Zhang Shou was completely stunned.
Yesterday, Yu Xian and Qingniao were on a mission together, while Zhang Shou was paired with Yu Bo. Yu Bo was the oldest member of the Evil Extermination Squad, with a smooth but not worldly personality. He chatted and laughed with Zhang Shou on the way, imparting many experiences to him.
After Demos appeared, Yu Bo told Zhang Shou to evacuate quickly, while he himself went to find the captain.
As a result, their separation became a permanent farewell.
The image of Yu Bo smiling and turning away flashed in Zhang Shou’s mind.
He had clearly said everything would be fine.
Didn't he say he was experienced? Hadn't he seen this kind of danger at least eight thousand times, if not ten thousand?
Zhang Shou clenched his fists, his eyes red. He wiped his eyes and asked, “Then where’s the captain? I’m our team’s healer.”
“Follow me!” Qingniao said, getting up to lead the way.
Yu Xian followed behind the two with a heavy heart. When they arrived at the military medical station, many people were waiting anxiously.
Four or five men and women carrying swords and sabers saw Yu Xian and immediately stepped forward to thank him. They were some of the people saved by Yu Xian’s bubbles.
Yu Xian chatted with them for a bit and learned that they were all members of the Zhan E Squad. The reason they were there was because their captain, Gan Jiang, and vice-captain, Mo Xie, were both still receiving treatment.
Among the four teams, the Zhan E Squad and the Kill Demon Squad could be considered relatively lucky; none of their members were lost, though their captains were severely wounded.
The unluckiest was Gong Qian’s Sin-Cleansing Squad; besides Gong Qian, there was only one survivor, and all other team members had sacrificed themselves.
