Chapter 1: The Devil Descends

Next Chapter

In the winter of 2029, a bronze gate suddenly appeared at the north and south poles of the Blue Star.

The bronze gates were as tall as skyscrapers, and the two closed gates were as wide as dozens of football fields, exuding an ancient and evil aura, and the pained expressions of numerous unknown creatures were carved on the doors.

The countries of the Blue Star are helpless against the two bronze gates of the north and south poles, and no thermal weapon with great lethality can leave the slightest trace on the gate. Countries are building bases at the North and South Poles, monitoring two bronze gates around the clock, and gathering the best of the planet to think about what to do and prepare for the worst.

In the spring of 2030, the bronze gate at the South Pole was the first to show an abnormality. The carvings on the door seemed to come to life suddenly, some holding their heads and crying, some rolling on the ground and crying, and some squirming and moaning.

A hand suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the bronze gate, this hand had a total of six fingers, and the skin of the hand was purple-black and full of wrinkles. The hand gently pushed open the bronze door, then burned itself and turned to ashes.

Behind the bronze gate, a black figure appeared, and they all couldn't wait to get out of the gate and descend on the blue star.

Jian Zhiqiong took off his all-virtual glasses, and kept recalling the video of the demon coming just now in his mind. This all-virtual video about the arrival of demons, Jian Zhiqiong has watched it dozens of times.

Jian Zhiqiong very much hoped that this video was just a special effect in a fictional movie, but he knew very well in his heart that this video was extremely real, and it had become one of the major historical events of mankind, known as the beginning of the advent of demons.

Descending from behind the bronze gates are one demon after another, with similar appearances and abilities to the many demons that have appeared in the legends, possessing strong bodies, well-developed muscles, and cunning intelligence. These demons passed through the bronze gates and descended on the Blue Star, invading the world in full.

The hot weapon that humans are proud of is completely ineffective in the face of demons, and they cannot leave even the slightest scar on the demons. In battle after battle, countless demons brutally harvest human lives.

In the face of the demonic invasion of the Blue Star, the countries jointly established a military organization called the "Demon Slaying Army", which is responsible for fighting demons and defending humanity.

The Demon Slaying Army found that "spiritual power" could successfully inflict damage on demons, so they opened a large number of recruit training camps to guide the survivors to cultivate spiritual power as soon as possible and join the Demon Slaying Army to resist the invasion of demons.

Jian Zhiqiong's boot camp is located in Tianjing. Jian Zhiqiong was originally a college student who had just graduated from college and was ready to join the society. However, the arrival of the demon changed everything in the world, and Jian Zhiqiong responded to the call of the demon slaying army and joined the boot camp.

The current situation of humanity can be described as precarious. Although the Demon Slaying Army has found a way to cultivate spiritual power to fight against demons, the time for human cultivation is still short.

Only one-tenth of the population of Lanxing remained, and a large part of the territory of Huaxia Kingdom fell, leaving only the four major bases of Tianjing, Jinling, Bashu and Lingnan, stubbornly resisting the invasion of demons.

Jian Zhiqiong left the video playback room and returned to his bedroom to rest. Tonight is Jian Zhiqiong's last time in the boot camp, and tomorrow morning he will be sent to the battlefield to carry out his mission.

Nothing was said all night.

Several trucks loaded with new recruits drove to the front lines. On the truck, Wang Dao, the commander of the recruit training camp to which Jian Zhiqiong belonged, was explaining the details of the mission, boosting the morale of the recruits.

The mortality rate of recruits is extremely high, and usually not many people in a recruit camp survive the first battle. Due to the extremely unfavorable situation of the war to mankind, the demon slaying army has no choice but to use new recruits to fill the gap in the strength on the battlefield, so that the recruits can accept the baptism of war as soon as possible.

"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!"

"Remember, you are humanity's last hope!"

"One small step forward is a giant leap toward victory for humanity!"

Jian Zhiqiong didn't listen to Wang Dao's words, he grabbed the pendant in his hand and was silently distracted. The pendant is the only relic left to him by Jian Zhiqiong's parents, they died when Jian Zhiqiong was very young, and Jian Zhiqiong was raised under the care of the state.

Jian Zhiqiong is an orphan, he usually does not have many friends, and he does not have a few relatives, he thinks that now he is contributing his strength to the country, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of teaching books.

The truck was carrying twenty-four recruits, including Jian Zhiqiong. Most of the recruits had a look of trepidation on their faces, and they were thankful that they would be able to perform half of their training on the battlefield.

One of the twenty-four people is a man and a woman who are obviously not cannon fodder, and their mental outlook is much stronger than the others. They were Wang Qiang and Xie Rong, and the speed and progress of their cultivation of the guided spiritual power exercises provided by the Demon Suppression Army were obviously much faster than the others.

Since the arrival of the demon, the environment of Blue Star has also undergone inexplicable changes accordingly. Humans are able to cultivate spiritual power, strengthen their physical qualities, and use spiritual power to generate powerful destructive power to destroy demons.

According to the strength of the demons, the demon subduing army is divided into four levels: emperor, emperor, general and soldier. After completing the recruit training, recruits generally have the combat power to barely resist a soldier-level demon. However, due to the strength and cunning of the demons, with the same strength, it often takes several times the force to spare their lives.

After traveling for almost an hour, the truck arrived at the location of the mission. It is an abandoned residential complex, surrounded by ruins.

Wang Dao organized the recruits into a small team of three people, and Jian Zhiqiong's team was arranged to ambush in a grocery store. This mission is to cover the retreat of the target team, who has successfully snatched an unusually valuable item from the demons and is being chased by the demons.

"Hey, two brothers, get to know each other, I'm Xu Dafei. The middle-aged man in Jian Zhiqiong's team introduced himself, and he had a pair of exaggerated ears.

"Iยทยทยทยทยทยท I'm ยทยทยทยทยทยท Zhang ยทยทยทยทยทยท Riding the Wind ยทยทยทยทยทยท The other member of Jian Zhiqiong's team was a glasses otaku, and he was obviously so scared that he couldn't even tell his name.

"Jian Zhiqiong. Jian Zhiqiong responded briefly.

After the trio introduced themselves, the grocery store fell silent again.

Xu Dafei suddenly put one hand on Zhang Chengfeng's shoulder, looking familiar, and said with concern: "Xiao Zhang, it's really not okay later, don't be reckless, saving your life is the most important thing!" Xu Dafei obviously felt that Zhang Chengfeng was easier to talk to, and used him as a breakthrough point.

When Zhang Chengfeng heard this, he nodded vigorously and agreed, "Yes, Brother Xu, it's important to save your life, it's important to save your life. He grabbed Xu Dafei's hands and said, "Brother Xu, you must take care of your little brother later!"

Jian Zhiqiong looked at Xu Zhang and the two, and did not talk. Xu Dafei knew that Jian Zhiqiong didn't intend to speak, nor did he bother himself, but just discussed with Zhang Chengfeng how to improve his chances of surviving on the battlefield.

Shortly after, a red signal grenade rises in the blue sky, indicating that the target team will appear at any moment. Seeing this, Jian Zhiqiong and the others immediately entered the combat state.

"The target team will arrive at the predetermined position in thirty seconds, and the enemy will be visually armed with more than thirty Hell Imps. Our mission is to intercept the Hell Imps, I repeat, the mission is to intercept the Hell Imps. Jian Zhiqiong's communicator sounded the voice of Wang Dao.

Hell imps are a common cannon fodder class of demons, two people tall, red heads and two horns, with two claws as the main attack, with soldier-level combat effectiveness. The Demon Slayer Army spends a lot of time in recruit training to help recruits deal with common demons like Hell Imps, and to maximize the survival rate of recruits in their first battle.

Three ragged humans soon appeared in the line of sight of Jian Zhiqiong and the others, who were being hunted down by dozens of hell imps. They fought and retreated, and after being clawed by the hell imps, they managed to reach the predetermined receiving position.

"Strike. At the sound of the king's sword, the recruits who were lying in ambush appeared one after another and launched an attack on the hell imps. Wang Dao took the lead, holding a long knife and slashing towards a hellish imp.

Dozens of hell imps were caught off guard by the recruits' assault, but after a moment of panic, they showed great discipline and gradually gained the upper hand as they regrouped.

Only a handful of all the recruits were able to show their normal strength. Several recruits with poor psychological quality were caught by the imps of hell and torn in half. If it weren't for the king's sword struggling to contain the hell imps, the recruits would have already collapsed and become the hell imps.

Jian Zhiqiong was in danger at this time, besieged by three hell imps.

Time returned to thirty seconds ago, as soon as Zhang Chengfengfu, the glasses otaku in Jian Zhiqiong's team, started the battle, he seemed to be overly nervous, his right foot tripped over his left foot, and he fell to eat shit. Of course, the hell imps would not let go of such an opportunity, and the two hell imps instantly rushed forward, preparing to split Zhang Chengfeng's body.

At that time, because Xu Dafei was the closest to Zhang Chengfeng, the most suitable person to support Zhang Chengfeng was Xu Dafei. But Xu Dafei had no intention of saving Zhang Chengfeng, he didn't want to put himself in danger.

"Save ยทยทยทยทยทยท ยทยทยทยทยทยท Phineas!Save ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท I ยทยทยทยทยทยท Zhang Chengfeng desperately begged for help.

Xu Dafei turned a deaf ear, and the indifference on his face made Zhang Chengfeng feel extremely desperate. The enthusiastic brother just now seems to have never appeared and existed.

"Ughยทยทยทยทยทยท Jian Zhiqiong sighed in his heart, he really couldn't do it without saving him.

"Noยทยทยทยทยทยท To ยทยทยทยทยทยท Kill ยทยทยทยทยทยท I ยทยทยทยทยทยท Zhang Chengfeng watched the hellish imp approach with his claws, and he was almost incontinent with fright.

Jian Zhiqiong poured his spiritual power into the spear in his hand, forcibly got rid of the hell imps around him, and used the spear to open the two hell imps and grab Zhang Chengfeng's claws. Zhang Chengfeng escaped from the ghost gate, and he didn't look back at the moment, and hurriedly escaped.

Seeing that the food that was about to arrive had run away, the two hellish imps turned red in an instant, locking on Jian Zhiqiong as the priority target. The hell imp who was forcibly got rid of by Jian Zhiqiong just now also immediately followed, causing Jian Zhiqiong to be besieged by three hell imps at the same time.

Jian Zhiqiong can barely be regarded as a soldier-level combat power now, and in the face of the three-headed soldier-level hell imp, he can't parry it at all.

Do you regret your decision to save Zhang Chengfeng? No, Jian Zhiqiong will never regret his decision. He never regrets what he decides, only his enemies.

Continuing to be beaten was not the way to go, Jian Zhiqiong simply took the initiative to attack, trying to avoid the deadly attack of the hell imp and counterattack. The hell imp was stabbed several times by Jian Zhiqiong's spear, but with the recovery ability of his body, he stopped bleeding in a few seconds, and the damage was very limited. On the contrary, Jian Zhiqiong was clawed several times by the hell imp one after another, and his movements began to slow down.

The three-headed hell imp gradually became impatient, and the ants in front of them were very hateful, not only letting go of their food, but also hindering their pursuit mission. The three-headed hell imp decided to use his stunt "Flame Claw" on Jian Zhiqiong, and in an instant, a wave of heat rolled in, and with the six sharp claws, it came towards Jian Zhiqiong in several key places.
