Chapter 9: Sleepless Tonight I
At 9:30 p.m. on March 1, half an hour before the end of the engagement banquet of the Tantai family, a fire broke out in the Wenshu Pavilion located in the south of the imperial capital Guangyuan City. Wenshu Pavilion is an empire-level building, with a complete fire protection system, and it is definitely not something that can be set on fire by one or two small flames or arson by a few people.
When the people nearby found out that Wenshu Pavilion was on fire, they knew that it was two demon beasts of the Vein Casting Realm who were wantonly setting fire. The strength of the Casting Vein Realm is equivalent to the strength of the Fifth Realm Kaiyuan Realm of the human monks, and many monks among the people have the ability to solve it. However, the laws of the Qianyuan Empire clearly stipulate that civilians are not allowed to use force in the residential, commercial, and government areas of Guangyuan City, so we can only hope that the people of the Guangyuan garrison will come as soon as possible.
The first to arrive at the scene of the crime were the members of the Demon Hunters. At first, the Demon Hunters were just a non-governmental organization to protect the village, and at first there were only a dozen people. After decades of development, it has gradually become a huge organization covering the entire Shenxuan Continent.
As soon as the people of the demon hunting group arrived, the two fire demons who set the fire didn't want to run away. The demon hunters divided some of their men to chase the demon beasts, and the other part of the people were responsible for extinguishing the fires.
When the Guangyuan garrison and fire brigade arrived and extinguished the fire, the Wenshu Pavilion, which had been inherited for hundreds of years, was directly destroyed.
But the extinguishing of the fire does not mean that the case is over, and a demon beast suddenly appeared in Guangyuan City, which has not been attacked by demon beasts for a hundred years. That means tonight is going to be a sleepless night.
When the people from the Guangyuan Fire Brigade wanted to check the damage to the Wenshu Pavilion, there was a violent vibration from the ground, like an earthquake. I saw a ten-meter-tall demon beast directly break through the ground, directly destroying the already miserable Manjushri Pavilion.
The name of that demon beast was called the Heavy Armored Rhino, and its height of ten meters meant that it had reached the Monarch Realm, which was equivalent to the strength of the Seventh Realm Immortal Realm of a human monk. The heavily armored rhinoceros is a two-legged rhinoceros whose body is covered with thick flesh armor, and is basically at the same level of attack intensity, so it can't hurt it.
The heavily armored rhinoceros jumped out of the ground and roared loudly, and then rushed towards the crowded Guangyuan garrison like crazy. Most of the members of the garrison only have the strength of the third realm of the Zhuangshou Realm or the fourth realm of the Star Realm, but if they dare to avoid the heavily armored rhino, then it will be the residents of the residential area behind who will suffer.
"Riot squad, erect the wall!"
The five members of the garrison who heard the captain's order raised the standard shield in their hands, followed by the source power of the five people and resonated, and the source power released from the five shields blended together to form a source force barrier that was ten meters high.
The heavily armored rhinoceros didn't care if there were so many or not, and without saying a word, he hit the source force barrier headlong. The source force barrier shattered in response, and the heavily armored rhinoceros was also subjected to a strong reaction force and was about to fall backwards.
"Bow team, repel the arrows!" Li Hua, the captain of the garrison of the division, shouted again.
The five archers of the garrison standing on the roof of a nearby residential building heard Li Hua's order and shot arrows wrapped in white source power, and the five arrows shot at the body of the heavily armored rhino, making the heavily armored rhino who had not yet stood firm stumble and fall directly to the ground.
At this time, Li Hua, the captain of the division, ordered again: "Expulsion team, attack with all your might!"
For a while, all kinds of thunder and lightning flashed, and all kinds of water balls and fire arrows smashed indiscriminately on the body of the heavily armored rhinoceros.
The location of Li Hua Station is on the roof of a tall residential building not far from the heavy armor. Behind Li Hua, there was also a middle-aged man wearing an ephedra coat and white gloves on his hands.
This person is Bai Yan, the leader of the demon hunting team that came to Guangyuan City this time. Unlike the combat team of a division of the garrison, which has twenty members, a squad of the demon hunting group usually only has five people if you add the leader. However, due to some special reasons, there were only two official members of the Demon Hunting Group and more than a dozen intern members who came to Guangyuan City with Bai Yan this time.
And when the fire was just extinguished, the people of the demon hunting group were sent out to chase after due to the discovery of new demonic power fluctuations, and now only the leader Bai Yan is left.
Although the members of the Demon Hunting Regiment are relatively small, in the battle with the Demon Beasts, because the garrison team has no experience in fighting the Demon Beasts, the members of the Demon Hunting Regiment can often exert their strength as one as ten.
It's like in the battle with the heavily armored rhino, the command of the division captain Li Hua can be said to be quite reasonable, but now it is not to suppress any criminal gang, but to fight against a demon beast with extremely high defense. To put it bluntly, in this situation of poor cultivation realm, even if the people of the garrison are doubled, they will not be able to hurt the heavy armor in the slightest.
Li Hua, the leader of the division, turned his head and saw that Bai Yan, the leader of the demon hunting group, was shaking his head, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place. Li Hua yelled at Bai Yan: "Why haven't your people come yet!"
In Guangyuan City, even if they are members of the garrison, as long as they reach a certain strength, they must submit an application to the relevant department before they want to use force, and only after obtaining the approval of the upper echelons and ensuring that the residents are not harmed, can they use force.
And Bai Yan, the leader of the demon hunting group without this restriction, seems to just want to stand by and watch the play now, and has no intention of making a move, which really makes the grumpy Li Hua almost jump to his feet.
After listening to Li Hua's words, Bai Yan took out a pocket watch from his cuff, and he glanced at the time: "Calculate the time, it should be almost there." Yo, people who often get lost arrive first. ”
As soon as the words fell, a silver light flashed in the air, which was the long knife "Butterfly Shadow" in the hand of Mu Yushuang, an official member of the Demon Hunting Group. The long knife "Butterfly Shadow" was pitch black, and only the blade glowed silver in the moonlight.
Mu Yushuang was wearing a black chivalrous uniform, and the long black hair on her head was tied into a ponytail and fell to her waist. The bright eyes are full of clear and bright pupils, and the angular face looks heroic, and there is really the style of a woman.
As soon as Mu Yushuang fell to the ground, all the members of the garrison except Li Hua were locked by a mysterious force, causing them all to stop attacking. Mu Yushuang's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he lifted the long knife and rushed towards the heavily armored rhinoceros.
Despite his small eyes, he could still see a human running towards him with a knife. It raised its arms, trying to slap the little man in front of it directly into meat sauce.
However, the attack of the Heavy Armored Rhino was destined to fail, as the faster Mu Yushuang had already jumped onto its arm when its hand fell. Then only a few "whoosh" sounds were heard, and the arm of the heavily armored rhinoceros was marked with blood marks under the flickering of the sword.
The heavy-armored rhinoceros was in pain and wanted to shake off Mu Yushuang. However, Mu Yushuang took advantage of the situation and jumped to the eyes of the heavy-armored rhino, followed by a knife and directly beat the heavy-armored rhinoceros into a one-eyed dragon.
The pain caused by the blinding of the eyes made the heavily armored rhinoceros roar in grief, but Mu Yushuang's attack did not end. She grabbed the horn of the heavily armored rhino so that it would not be thrown off, and then plunged a knife into the mouth of the heavily armored rhinoceros, poking a hole in its weak tongue.
This time, the heavily armored rhinoceros didn't even dare to make a sound, because as soon as it screamed, a mouthful of blood would spurt out of its mouth. It had to cover its mouth and let out a mournful roar in its throat, but Mu Yushuang had already reached the right foot of the heavily armored rhinoceros at this time.
The long knife "Butterfly Shadow" in Mu Yushuang's hand shot out, aiming at the most vulnerable Achilles tendon position of the heavily armored rhino footsteps. The heavily armored rhinoceros with a blood mark on his foot couldn't even stand this time, and directly knelt on the ground. Because of the injury to his arm, the heavily armored rhinoceros's hand hurt as soon as it touched the ground, and it fell to the ground.
And at this time, two yellow talismans flew from a distance. The talisman turned into green light and finally attached to Mu Yushuang's feet.
It turned out that Ji Tian, another official member of the Demon Hunting Group, had arrived, and the "Ji Clan's Runes" he practiced could maximize people's physical functions. For example, the two talismans that Ji Tian just pasted for Mu Yushuang can enhance her jumping ability.
Mu Yushuang jumped up and jumped directly to a height of five meters. The heavy-armored rhinoceros lying on the ground revealed the Achilles heel of his waist, Mu Yushuang in the air did a somersault, and then stabbed down with a sword, and the power brought by the falling speed made the long knife "Butterfly Shadow" directly sink into the flesh of the waist of the heavy-armored rhinoceros.
The heavily armored rhinoceros ended his life with its last roar.
According to the performance points of each person who completed the task, the demon hunting group divided the official members into four levels of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", with the highest level of heaven and the lowest level of yellow. Since the level has nothing to do with strength, even if the strength is not enough, as long as you are diligent, you can reach a high level.
Mu Yushuang and Ji Tian's strength were both in the early stage of the Seventh Realm Immortal Realm, and they were both newcomers who joined the Demon Hunting Group a year ago. But it only took them one year to rise from the yellow level to the Xuan level, and the team they were in ranked in the top ten in the list of all the Xuan level teams, so their strength should not be underestimated.
Seeing Mu Yushuang, who was only twenty-one years old, knocked down the heavily armored rhinoceros who could divide by two in the same realm, those people in the garrison were also taken aback.
But at the moment when everyone's nerves relaxed, a rather terrifying demonic force suddenly passed under everyone's feet, it was a half-step demon god-level demon beast!
However, the target of that terrifying demon beast did not seem to be the demon hunting group or the guard, but by passing through the underground, it went directly to the west of Guangyuan City. Mu Yushuang and Ji Tian chased after them first, but the team leader Bai Yan was still thinking about it.
Guangyuan City's Protector Great Array was the top Great Array, and under normal circumstances, even if it passed through the Escape Ground, it would be impossible for the demon beasts to cross the formation. But now that demon beasts have not only appeared in many places in Guangyuan City, there are even powerful demon beasts that can enter Guangyuan City through the underground, so what leads to this situation is only the possibility that there is a gap in the Great Protector Array!
