Chapter 142 The Successive Appearance of Sixth-Rank Officials

"Oh shit!"

Wang Beishan and Chen Ting's attacks could barely leave wounds on the ape demon, cuts of a few centimeters in length, but they were useless and healed quickly.

Huo Xiu's attacks were ineffective, or rather, he could hardly leave a mark and could not exert his full strength.

This demonic body possesses a certain ability to isolate the soul.

Only Xu Ya's Three Calamities could truly harm the ape demon; each attack caused the ape to roar in pain and its movements to come to a standstill.

But it's unclear how long this will take, not to mention whether they can kill the ape demon before their divine soul power is exhausted.

All of this is contingent on how long Shen Qing can hold out.

The Land of Absolute Spirits has no spiritual energy; demons break through their realms by constantly compressing their vital energy.

Although it lacks extraordinary abilities, its physical body surpasses that of other beings of the same level; this is the case with the ape demon at the early stage of the sixth rank.

Shen Qing was not only outmatched in strength, but also completely outmatched in stamina.

"Use every card you have up your sleeve!"

While dodging the ape demon's trampling, Wang Beishan shouted, "Otherwise, if I die here, I won't have another chance!"

His ability is consistent but lacks explosiveness, so there's nothing he can do in this situation.

All he can do now is keep harassing the ape demon to try and relieve some of the pressure on Shen Qing, but others might not be so lucky.

"Forty seconds left," Chen Ting said.

His sword case was already half open, and golden sword light leaked out from the gaps.

This was the sword energy he had accumulated over two years, waiting to be unleashed one day.

Thirty seconds.

Xu Ya also spoke, his expression serious. Although he didn't make any move, dark clouds began to gather from all directions in the sky, which was not yet fully lit.

The clouds grew thicker and lower, pressing down as if they were about to collapse.

Countless bolts of lightning flashed in the clouds, and vaguely, a thunder dragon poked its head out, its arcs of electricity illuminating half the sky.

But that wasn't the end of it; another clear and melodious dragon roar rang out.

"rise!"

Chen Ting finally opened his sword box completely, and golden light shot into the sky. A huge dragon-shaped sword aura, several meters long, flew out of the box.

Wherever it passed, golden light shone brightly, and the air itself seemed to be torn apart.

Two dragons appeared. The thunder dragon had fully emerged from the clouds and was circling in the air, while the golden dragon, under Chen Ting's guidance, was still gathering power and raising its head.

"roar!!"

The ape demon suddenly raised its head, its pupils shrinking sharply, as if it sensed the danger of death.

It didn't even care about Shen Qing, who was entangled with it, and turned to run away, but was caught by Shen Qing instead, although the scene was quite comical.

It's like a human being grabbed by the hind legs by a mouse.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides was not that great, and it was not insurmountable. The ape demon was unable to break free for a while.

Then, the two dragons descended, and a dazzling white light instantly engulfed everything. At the last moment, Shen Qing activated [Grasp Like the Wind], which propelled him away, allowing him to avoid the explosion.

"roar-!!!"

Instantly, the ape demon's screams rang out, even drowning out the roar of the explosion.

The shockwave carried countless fragments of rock in all directions.

For a good ten seconds or so, as the light gradually faded, everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the explosion.

A deep pit has appeared there, yet the ape demon is still alive!

It lay on the ground, panting, its entire body charred black, its white fur burned away, and its left side almost severed, held together only by a bit of flesh.

Even so, the ape demon did not die, and even struggled to stand up amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd.

Its eyes darted around, scanning everyone present, its gaze filled with nothing but savage killing intent.

"Shen Qing!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to Shen Qing.

Only Shen Qing possesses the ability to confront this ape demon head-on, and has the potential to kill it while it is severely injured.

Shen Qing was naturally aware of this, and he had already made his move.

Golden light flashed above "Great Snow's Edge," and a murderous aura swirled around the spear tip. He exerted force with his feet, causing the ground to crack, and he shot out like a cannonball.

They were preparing to deliver the final blow to the ape demon.

But the next second, a sharp cry came from the sky, and then a huge shadow descended from the sky, its wings like a dark cloud, enveloping Shen Qing.

One sixth-rank demon wasn't enough; there was a second one, a flying bird demon!

Shen Qing didn't even have time to look up before he felt a sharp pain as the other person's claws dug into his shoulder.

Then, his feet left the ground.

In just a second, he was lifted into the sky, the wind whistling in his ears and the clouds brushing against him. Shen Qing dared not make any move; if he fell, even with the [Swallow Soaring] technique, he would probably be turned into a meat pie.

Everyone's eyes followed the rapidly ascending figure, their hopes instantly shattered.

"Shen Qing!!"

Wang Beishan and his companions were dumbfounded, but they were helpless against the demons who could fly, which was an absolute advantage.

Moreover, they themselves estimated that they were doomed.

Xu Ya and Chen Ting were exhausted, and Wang Beishan was also seriously injured. Only Huo Xiu was still able to fight.

However, without Shen Qing as their front-line fighter, even though the ape demon was already severely injured, the countless demons around them were enough to kill them.

"A bunch of scum." Wang Beishan cursed through gritted teeth.

Xu Ya rarely spoke up, "I never thought I'd die here. I hope someone will come and collect my body."

Chen Ting held the sword box, while Huo Xiu remained silent.

They watched as the demons began to surround them, ready for a final, desperate fight.

"boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion was heard in the distance, followed by a series of dense footsteps that were different from those of demons.

Half a minute later, the giant grass on the side was split open, and a figure covered in blood emerged from it. Upon seeing Wang Beishan and his companions, his eyes immediately lit up with wild joy.

"Found them! Found them!" As he shouted, more people appeared.

It's reinforcements! The reinforcements have finally arrived!

The commotion successfully attracted reinforcements, including five seventh-rank supernatural beings and ten eighth-rank beings.

Not only did they temporarily clear out the surrounding demons, but they also took advantage of their numbers and threw out a bunch of talismans, instantly killing the heavily injured sixth-rank ape demon.

"Deputy Director Wang, how are things going?"

A skilled healer quickly approached Wang Beishan and the others to check on their condition.

Shen Qing—

'

Wang Beishan grabbed his arm, panting heavily, and said, "Shen Qing, he's been captured by a sixth-rank flying demon!"

It was just a few minutes, just a few minutes.

"Deputy Director Shen?! A sixth-rank flying demon—"

The supernatural being's expression changed, but before he could ask any more questions, more commotion arose around him, and more demons were approaching.

Moreover, it was a sixth-rank demon that could fly, which was beyond their ability to handle. They could only send a few people to help the injured and exhausted Wang Beishan and the others up.

The troops began to retreat.

However, the entire outer perimeter of the Jueling Grassland had fallen into turmoil, drawn by the scent emanating from Wang Beishan and his companions.

During the retreat, demons kept swarming in.

At the most dangerous moment, the group encountered a sixth-rank creature, a giant lizard covered in bone armor, or perhaps a dinosaur.

Fortunately, Li Jianghan was there.

He took out a light blue talisman from his pocket, which instantly transformed into a giant sword and fell down.

"boom!"

The bone armor shattered instantly, and the giant lizard let out a painful roar.

However, due to environmental limitations, the talisman was unable to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world and could not exert its maximum power, only severely injuring it.

Fortunately, whether or not you can kill them is not important; it's enough to temporarily prevent them from catching up.
