Tian Qing frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Long Haochen, and said in a deep voice, “Alright, Haochen, I won’t force you. This operation will be led by our team. You will be responsible for support. If we really fall into a demon trap, you should retreat immediately and don’t worry about us.”

As he said this, Tian Qing’s tone became noticeably stronger. Although their team had received great favors from Long Haochen’s team, as a King-level Demon Hunt Squad, they had always had a strong sense of autonomy. Tian Qing was the absolute core of the team, and he had great confidence in his own judgment. Favor did not mean dependence, especially since they were a higher-level King-level Demon Hunt Squad. The members of Tian Qing’s team were all holding back their energy, wanting to prove their strength with the best performance in this second operation.

Having said that, Long Haochen naturally couldn’t say anything more and could only nod in agreement with Tian Qing’s plan.

Next was to quickly formulate a plan. Long Haochen stuck to one point: Tian Qing’s team would lead the attack, and his team would provide support. After all, the enemy didn’t know there were two Demon Hunt Squads here. One operating in the open and the other in secret would greatly increase the safety of both teams. After careful consideration, Tian Qing had no objections to this. It was better to be cautious. Anyway, his team would lead the attack, and they could share some of the profits with Long Haochen’s team in the end. As long as the operation was successful, the partners’ confidence that had been hit would be restored.

While the two were discussing, news came from outside that the Demon Hunter team was heading towards the city gate and was about to leave the city.

Tian Qing made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go, we’ll go out through the secret passage and intercept them directly outside the city. Attacking outside the city is more advantageous than attacking inside the city. At least we don’t have to worry about the Yak Demon reacting.”

Long Haochen nodded, “Brother Tian Qing, please be careful. If you find something is wrong, we’ll cover the rear, and you retreat quickly. We have our own way to escape.”

“Mm.” Tian Qing gave a perfunctory reply and turned to call his partners. In fact, he didn’t pay much attention to Long Haochen’s words. As a King-level Demon Hunt Squad, asking a Commander-level Demon Hunt Squad to cover the rear? That would be too embarrassing. Moreover, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with his plan.

A group of thirteen people quietly left through the secret passage. King-level Demon Hunt Squad Number 17 was in the front, and Commander-level Demon Hunt Squad Number 64 was in the back. Everyone was in full battle gear.

Cai’er quietly followed beside Long Haochen. If someone who knew her well observed carefully, they would notice that Cai’er had changed compared to before. The coldness on her body was restrained, no longer as obvious as before. Even between her eyebrows, she seemed to have become much gentler. But if you looked closely, you would find that Cai’er’s restrained aura was even more terrifying, like a bottomless abyss, serene and profound.

After three days of meditation, Cai’er’s six senses recovered on their own. In the end, she still failed to awaken her God-Favored physique. However, that Sword of Heaven and Man for the first time completely fused her own abilities together, and the help it gave her was unimaginable.

After returning to the team, Cai’er had been in seclusion these days. She had a strong feeling that her God-Favored physique could awaken at any time, but now it was just lacking that last bit of opportunity. As for when this opportunity would appear, she herself didn’t know. Cai’er knew very well that even if there was only a hair’s breadth between them, it could be like the ends of the earth. The awakening of a God-Favored One cannot be achieved through effort alone, but requires a moment of explosive realization.

Everyone was a sixth-rank powerhouse or above. Even traveling in the underground secret passage, their speed was extremely fast. Under Tian Qing’s leadership, when they saw the light of day again, they had already appeared outside Great Yak City.

Without Tian Qing pointing it out, the mages and priests in their team had already taken action. Eagle Eye Technique and Eye of Truth were activated at the same time, probing the nearby and distant situations.

The mage whispered, “Found them, a group of ten people, just came out of the city, led by a black-clothed youth-looking demon. Can’t tell the race. However, the aura is very strong, possibly a member of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan. If that’s the case, we’ve encountered the Dragon Squad among the Demon Hunters.”

The priest immediately reported, “There are no hidden troops ambushing within a thousand meters. Everything is normal.”

Tian Qing asked the mage, “Have you found any signs of an ambush? Investigate more carefully.”

The mage nodded, strengthening the output of spiritual power, and the Eagle Eye Technique was fully activated. This mage’s most powerful reconnaissance skill could even detect the invisible troops of the demon race. When used by a seventh-rank mage, it could at least probe a range of twenty miles. When focusing spiritual power at a closer distance, the probing would be even more detailed.

After a while, the mage said, “Everything is normal. Those demons have left the city and have no intention of flying. Instead, they are walking towards the direction of the Central Province. In addition to the leading black-clothed youth, there is also a woman wearing a white cloak. She is also humanoid, and her true cultivation and race are still unknown. Behind them, there are four other humanoid demon powerhouses. Two demons, one Yak Demon, and one Bear Demon. I can be sure that, apart from the leading black-clothed youth, at least two of the other humanoid demons have purely magical abilities. They are leaving quickly, and it’s too late for us to ambush. I suggest a head-on confrontation. We have a 70% chance of taking them down.”

Tian Qing nodded and shouted in a deep voice, “Let’s go!” As he said this, he suddenly drew his own heavy sword, raised his dark gold giant shield with his left hand, and a dazzling dark gold light spread out in front of him. In a low roar, a huge earth dragon appeared before him.

This was an eighth-level magic beast, the Diamond Dragon, the most powerful type of earth dragon, comparable to a seventh-rank human powerhouse. Most importantly, its defense was extremely strong. With its cooperation, the knight was equivalent to having an extra super-strong meat shield. Even an eighth-rank powerhouse would not be able to kill the Diamond Dragon in a short time.

Tian Qing soared into the air and directly climbed onto the Diamond Dragon’s broad back. The warrior and assassin also jumped onto the dragon’s back. The seventh-rank summoner held up a bright silver crystal ball and chanted a few spells. Three flashes of white light later, three sixth-level magic beasts, Lightning Leopards, appeared in front of everyone. He himself, the mage, and the priest each mounted one.

At this time, the combat skills of a King-level Demon Hunt Squad were fully displayed. Of course, they could fly over to snipe the enemy with their spiritual wings, but the Demon Hunters were not weak, especially the Dragon Squad Demon Hunters, who were the most difficult to deal with below the Demon God level. Therefore, they wanted to conserve their spiritual power. Moreover, going over by land was less likely to be discovered by the enemy early.

The Lightning Leopard’s attack and defense abilities were very average, but as wind-type magic beasts, they had lightning-fast speed. The magic classes were undoubtedly the best at riding this kind of magic beast. Just after mounting the magic beast’s back, the mage had already taken out his staff and began to chant in a low voice. He seemed to be stuck to the Lightning Leopard’s back, and the chanting was without the slightest confusion or haste. A group of six people, at a swift speed, under the guidance of the mage’s earlier Eagle Eye Technique, obliquely cut into the enemy’s inevitable path.

The eyes of the members of the Commander-level Demon Hunt Squad Number 64 naturally fell on Long Haochen.

A purple light rippled in Long Haochen’s eyes, and Haoyue’s huge figure appeared in front of everyone in the next moment.

Haoyue’s length had exceeded eleven meters, and his mountain-like body could definitely be described as huge. The two huge protrusions on his back were even more obvious. Four large heads were raised proudly, and it could be clearly seen that after nearly a year of seclusion, the originally atrophied protrusion on the other side had re-emerged and was already close to the length of the other large heads, and could evolve again at any time. Especially recently, Haoyue had eaten a lot of magic crystals, and the terrifying aura on his body sometimes shocked even Long Haochen.

All seven of them climbed onto Haoyue’s back, and Long Haochen even stood directly on top of the small light head. Haoyue’s strong and powerful limbs strode out, chasing after the direction of King-level Demon Hunt Squad Number 17. However, at Long Haochen’s suggestion, they lagged behind by about a thousand meters, and tried to find shelters that could hide their figures as much as possible during the advance.

Long Haochen really hoped that his worries were unfounded. After the last attack, they had already completed ten of their sixteen killing missions, especially killing the Star Demon directly allowed them to complete a difficult mission second only to attacking a Demon God. The mission they took to attack a Demon God was to attack the Demon God ranked seventy-second, in a remote province, and only needed to deal with that Demon God with all their strength. But the Star Demon was different. Most Star Demons lived in the Demon Capital’s Heart City, let alone an eighth-rank Star Demon. Once they took action in Heart City, it would be too difficult to avoid being discovered. Due to the Demon God Emperor’s terrifying spiritual power, the Temple Alliance had never been able to establish a team in Heart City, and there, demon powerhouses were as numerous as hairs!

They never expected that this super difficult mission, which was considered equivalent to hunting a Demon God, would be completed here. So everyone was much more relaxed. They had only been out for two months, and they had already completed most of the killing missions. Next, they could naturally slow down the pace a bit.

Hopefully, this second attack will also be successful.

The two Demon Hunt Squads continued to advance at a swift speed. Tian Qing was still very considerate of Long Haochen’s side, constantly changing positions and waving the heavy sword in his hand to tell Long Haochen about their situation, the most important of which was to indicate how far they were from the enemy.
