Divine Seal: Traversing the Serpent Demon God, Devouring and Evolving

Chapter 54 Devouring the Anti-Child Spirit Furnace

An Lan also noticed that the three demon gods were rapidly approaching and knew it was time to retreat.

The Star King Armor on his body receded as if flowing water, revealing the figure of the Star King.

An Lan rode the Star Dynasty and sped away into the distance.

He did not catch up with the Radiant Angel Knights, but chose another direction.

With Anlan drawing away the three demon gods, the demon army, without their commanders, was unable to stop the Radiant Angel Knights' charge.

Suddenly, An Lan sensed a crisis approaching, which sent chills down his spine.

A gray figure suddenly appeared behind An Lan, a dark gold dagger already piercing An Lan's chest.

If An Lan hadn't noticed in time and turned slightly to avoid a fatal blow, she would probably have been stabbed through the heart by the dagger.

"As expected, you can only briefly unleash the cultivation of the peak of the seventh rank. In that case, you deserve to die here." The weak voice of the Holy Spirit Heart rang out.

An Lan coughed up blood and asked angrily, "I killed so many demons for the Exorcism Pass, even luring away three demon gods to cover the retreat of the Radiant Angel Knights. And now you want to kill me?"

"You shouldn't have bullied my daughter. Killing you might cause the Knights' Temple to lose a genius, but if I let you go back, how will I face myself in the future?" Holy Spirit Heart's icy voice rang out.

"Ugh."

An Lan sighed and said softly, "Actually, for Cai'er's sake, I really don't want to kill you."

"Hmm?" A bad feeling arose in the Holy Spirit's heart.

Suddenly, an incredibly dense darkness surged from An Lan's body, and an extremely powerful force forcefully forced the dagger that had pierced An Lan's chest out.

An Lan suddenly turned around, grabbed Holy Spirit Heart by the neck, lifted him up, and made sure his feet were off the ground.

"Dark attribute, you are a demon!" Holy Spirit was horrified, his face filled with disbelief.

An Lan felt the long-lost terrifying power within her, her gaze turning cold as she looked at Holy Spirit Heart. "Cai'er is your daughter?"

Holy Spirit Heart had already been grabbed by the neck by An Lan, his face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at An Lan.

An Lan wore a wistful smile, but his handsome face was more terrifying than a demon in the eyes of the Holy Spirit Heart.

"Don't worry, after you die, I'll take good care of Cai'er. She's very radiant!"

"you!"

Holy Spirit's eyes widened, and in a fit of rage, he died instantly.

After using the Anti-Child Furnace, the Holy Spirit Heart was already very weak, leaving only enough power to kill An Lan.

And at that moment, he actually died of anger.

"Tsk tsk."

An Lan was still somewhat unsatisfied, but she did not expect that the Holy Spirit Heart was so fragile and could not withstand the blow.

From the moment the Holy Spirit openly unleashed its murderous intent upon him, the Holy Spirit was destined to die.

As it happened, Anlan also set her sights on the Anti-Child Spirit Furnace within the Holy Spirit's Heart.

At this moment, after transforming into the essence of the Serpent Demon God, An Lan's cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth rank, and his senses were exceptionally sharp.

Upon sensing that a powerful human was rapidly approaching, An Lan quickly used his Devouring Power to forcibly strip away the Anti-Child Spirit Furnace from within the Holy Spirit's Heart and merge it into himself.

"An Lan, what are you doing here?"

In the distance, a tall figure rapidly approached, clad in mithril-based armor, radiating a powerful aura.

Upon approaching, he removed his mask, revealing himself to be Gao Yingjie, the leader of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Team.

At this moment, An Lan had transformed into the source of light. Due to the previous continuous outburst, her face was abnormally pale and her body was very weak.

"Team leader, you've finally arrived." An Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the Holy Spirit Heart!" Gao Yingjie noticed the Holy Spirit Heart lying to the side and quickly went over to examine him. After a moment, Gao Yingjie's expression changed drastically: "He's dead!"

An Lan nodded, feigning grief, then asked with some confusion, "This morning, the Holy Spirit Heart Chief summoned me to the military headquarters and then asked me to leave the city with him, saying that he had already obtained your permission..."

An Lan would not choose to conceal the truth just to maintain the friendship between the two holy temples.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yingjie's face turned extremely ugly.

The death of the Holy Spirit Heart shocked and saddened him greatly.

However, the fact that the Holy Spirit Heart bypassed him and directly gave orders to Anlan made him even angrier.

"Don't make this public yet. I will report it to the Lord of our Knights' Temple, and he will make the decision."

Gao Yingjie was well aware of An Lan's talent and knew that An Lan could unleash peak seventh-tier combat power when working with her mount.

However, seeing An Lan in her weakened state, Gao Yingjie naturally guessed the danger of the battle that had just taken place.

That was facing three great demon gods and countless elite demons. Even those at the eighth or ninth rank would risk death. Moreover, in his eyes, An Lan was just a sixteen-year-old child.

Furthermore, Gao Yingjie was well aware of An Lan's importance to the Knights' Temple. At sixteen years old and at the sixth rank, his talent and future represented humanity's hope of defeating the demons. If anything were to happen to him, the higher-ups of the Knights' Temple would unleash a bloodbath upon the entire Temple Alliance.

After carefully examining An Lan's physical condition and finding that there was nothing seriously wrong, Gao Yingjie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Yes, team leader."

With Gao Yingjie's escort, An Lan safely returned to the Exorcism Pass.

The Radiant Angel Knights and the Dark Assassins were also brought to their aid. Although they suffered considerable losses, they were ultimately saved.

"In the future, if the higher-ups of the Assassin's Temple assign you any other missions besides the daily city defense missions, you must inform me first. If the danger level is high, I will refuse the mission for you."

Gao Yingjie concluded, "I will make them give you an explanation for this. It's really too much to bypass me and directly assign you such a dangerous mission."

"You should rest first. I will join forces with the other nine team leaders to demand an explanation from the higher-ups of the Assassin's Temple."

"Thank you very much, team leader." An Lan was very grateful.

Gao Yingjie was truly enraged, and he vanished in a flash.

An Lan returned to the barracks.

"Commander, you're back!" Chen Ying'er was the first to spot An Lan.

Everyone gathered around An Lan.

"You're injured!" Cai'er noticed first and quickly took An Lan's hand to check his injury.

Li Xin was also very worried and asked, "What happened? Did the military send you to the battlefield?"

An Lan said gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just used up too much spiritual energy. Let me recover my spiritual energy first, and then I'll tell you what happened."

"it is good."

Li Xin helped An Lan back to bed, and An Lan began to meditate to restore her spiritual power.

However, just as An Lan entered a meditative state, there was a knock on the door outside the barracks.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Is An Lan here? The military wants you to report immediately."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin angrily retorted, "The military headquarters! It's the military headquarters again! Let's go together and see what the military headquarters is up to!"

Chen Ying'er and the others were somewhat angry. An Lan went to the military headquarters to report early this morning, but returned in this state. Before she could even rest, she received another order from the military headquarters.
