Chapter 144 – There’s Someone Else! (3k)
“Screech!”
The bus had completely stopped this time. Everyone looked ahead in fear. Ahead, there were many abandoned vehicles blocking the road. The seats inside were empty, and the people were nowhere to be found.
Some showed despair, muttering, “Is… is this a War General Level Demon? Can humans really compare to them?”
No one answered him, because fear was a shared emotion, and the others were not much better off.
Seeing the majestic Wild Plains Lion approaching, Old Smoker’s expression was solemn. His fingers, gripping the boomerang, turned pale. He had to admit… he was sweating profusely.
Although their team had killed War General Level Demons before, the physique of a War General Level Demon and a War General Demon were different! They had killed those weaklings who had barely reached the War General Level.
Unfortunately.
The Wild Plains Lion, which looked like it almost possessed a Lord’s aura, was not included in that category.
“Captain, we are no match for this demon! We need to leave immediately!” the bespectacled male student shouted. Without waiting for Old Smoker’s reaction, he quickly said to the driver, “Turn back! Don’t go any further!”
Looking at the Wild Plains Lion’s occasionally flickering eyes filled with amusement, Old Smoker’s face was grim. They were likely doomed this time.
The driver hurriedly tried to turn the bus around, twisting its body. Just then, with a “bang!”, the Wild Plains Lion suddenly sprang up, like a nimble antelope, leaping from its spot to the other side of the road.
And it was slowly moving towards the bus. The surrounding demons seemed to have no intention of killing them directly, only looking at them greedily.
The girl standing beside them ignored the Wild Plains Lion and looked at Su Jiu with admiration, about to shout for Su Jiu to make a move: “Senior, quickly… 1 Bell Seal> \ Qi (Four) ⒌ Jiu ~ 4 Jiuba….”
The reason why Initial Stage Warrior humans couldn’t defeat demons of the same level in a one-on-one fight was because they lacked skills and beast soldiers. However, this situation would reverse when they reached the War General Level.
With numerous skills, beast soldiers, and even the ability to release External Qi—weren’t some low-level War General Demons easy targets for humans of the same level?
Unexpectedly, Su Jiu put away his phone, hung one hand outside, swinging it back and forth casually. With the other hand, he brought it to his pale lips and whispered with a smile, “Shhh—don’t make a sound.”
She couldn’t rule out the possibility of the Ancient God Sect lurking inside the bus. The way the demons outside surrounded them without attacking, not much different from the assessment grounds before, proved something.
The red blood and the unusual actions of these demons all pointed to one thing—it was the Ancient God Sect again, and possibly their most insane Priest!
“Senior, aren’t you going to make a move?”
Seeing Su Jiu’s calm expression, the girl became anxious and quickly asked in a low voice.
It should be known that the advantage of human War Generals lay in their agility. When facing demons head-on, they didn’t have much of an advantage.
“Don’t make a sound, everyone will be fine.”
Su Jiu gently pulled the girl down with his right hand. As the rose-like mark on his left fingernail glowed slightly, he flicked his wrist. A trace of blood-red sword energy shot out like an arrow towards the Wild Plains Lion.
“Swish!” A faint sound of breaking the air quietly arose.
Using his finger as a medium, the sword energy was as fast as lightning, as cunning as a cold gleam, directed solely at drinking blood!
War General Level—Drawing Sword Slash!
“Pop!”
With a small popping sound, the Wild Plains Lion was still moving. It still wore a proud expression on its face, as if it hadn’t noticed a tiny bloodstain appearing on its forehead.
It was still slowly approaching, but the flesh on its head seemed to be starting to shift slightly.
“It’s coming! Can the Fox Hunt team handle it!”
“Are we going to die? Those surrounding demons are starting to get restless.”
The people on the bus began to panic. Old Smoker frowned and shouted loudly, “What’s all the fuss about! Our Fox Hunt team is here! What is there to be afraid of!?”
“Fox Hunt team members, get off the bus with me!”
Then, as if to bolster his courage, he took a deep breath, his face set, and with an Energy Shield, he got off the bus, exuding a sense of tragic heroism.
“Crack!”
Old Smoker and the others got off the bus. The wind continuously blew their clothes, making “pa pa” sounds. Staring at the huge Wild Plains Lion, they couldn’t help but swallow.
Old Smoker gritted his teeth and curses in a low voice, “Damn beast!”
“Ignore the demon horde—let’s move!”
Then his face tightened, and he attacked with a horrified expression, crouching like a shrimp, and his hand gripping the boomerang surged with a purple electric light.
“Zzzt… Zzzt…” The current made faint sounds, and the purple light on the boomerang intensified.
While charging up, he shouted to his teammates, “Cover me with speed!”
The surrounding teammates heard him and acted accordingly, each summoning their beast soldiers and quickly swatting away the charging demons.
At this moment, a seemingly new member, looking at the endless horde of surrounding demons, finally focused his gaze on the War General Level Wild Plains Lion and asked powerlessly, “Can we really defeat so many demons?”
Kicking a Mischievous Monkey to death, the Seductive Woman looked up at Old Smoker with pride and shouted, “Captain’s ‘Desolate Electric Arrow’ was left by a Mid-tier War General. After charging, its power is enough to reach the level of an Initial Stage War General!”
“Initial Stage War Generals, you probably haven’t seen them in action, have you? Let me tell you, although they are only slightly different from us, their attack power is actually several times that of Advanced Stage Warriors!”
“Because War Generals possess External Qi!”
The other members on the side immediately gained some confidence, and the new member looked at Old Smoker with boundless admiration and worked even harder.
Watching the Wild Plains Lion still approaching, sweat beaded on Old Smoker’s forehead. He felt his throat grow exceptionally dry.
In fact, they didn’t know the hardship in Old Smoker’s heart. Although this move could cause some damage to the Wild Plains Lion, all of this was based on the premise that the opponent would inexplicably let him hit.
Another half a minute passed. Old Smoker’s gaze was fixed on the Wild Plains Lion, his boomerang in hand like a fully charged light wheel. Five seconds left!
Seeing that the opponent had inexplicably stopped and appeared terrified, as if afraid of something.
Old Smoker was slightly puzzled, thinking: This Wild Plains Lion shouldn’t be afraid of me!
“Desolate Electric Arrow!”
But as the light wheel in his hand was fully charged, the wheel, like a moon disk, was thrown out violently, emitting a strong rotation in the air. The air became thick and viscous, and even the surroundings were ignited by the arcs of electricity.
The surrounding teammates showed excited expressions. In their eyes, victory was assured.
“Whoosh whoosh ~ ~”
The light wheel was not fast. Old Smoker watched the scene nervously. Only he knew that with just one blow to kill a Demon like the Wild Plains Lion, his strength was probably not enough. His goal was to injure it.
This way, everyone would have a chance to counterattack and survive!
“Boom!” accompanied by the light wheel coming into contact with the Wild Plains Lion’s surrounding Energy Shield, a huge sound suddenly erupted, kicking up dust and smoke.
“Captain, your skill hit its head directly, and it didn’t even dodge!” the Seductive Woman exclaimed excitedly. If it weren’t for the demons beside her, she would have even hugged Old Smoker.
Then, the Wild Plains Lion in front seemed to be cut in half, becoming two parts from top to bottom, and then slowly slid down, its flesh smooth and even.
The newly joined teammate suddenly turned to look at Old Smoker, who was still in a daze. An overwhelming sense of excitement surged in his heart—my captain is actually so awesome, he instantly killed a War General Level Demon.
“Captain is awesome!”
“Holy hell, it was cut directly! I didn’t expect Old Lu, you’ve practiced this skill! Come on, tell me quickly, did you master the skill? Such power, tsk tsk…” A middle-aged man, about the same age as Old Smoker, put his arm on his shoulder and chuckled.
“Don’t let your guard down, there are still other demons!”
Old Smoker shouted loudly. He was now completely baffled by these people and even began to doubt if he could really deal such damage to a War General Level Demon.
But why wasn’t the lion’s flesh scorched by the electricity?
As soon as Old Smoker finished speaking, the blood erupting from the Wild Plains Lion shot skyward like a fountain, then merged into a ball.
Then it slowly separated into arrow-like blood droplets, shooting towards the surrounding demons like arrows. For a moment, it was a scene of ten thousand arrows being shot.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!” Numerous sounds of breaking the air arose. Those demons, like scarecrows, could only be forced to receive the arrows. This stunned everyone on the bus.
“Captain, is this you too?”
The new team member looked at Old Smoker with great excitement, but the other few turned their heads mechanically, their eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
If they hadn’t been sure of their captain’s level, they would have been like the former, but… this was utterly beyond their captain’s ability!
There was help from a master! This was it!
Old Smoker took a deep breath of the bloody air, then bowed, clasped his hands, and proclaimed loudly, “Thank you for your help, Senior!”
