Long Haochen’s heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if an invisible force was squeezing it. Tian Qing, who was ahead, had just sent a message that they were within three kilometers of the enemy and would launch an attack in about two minutes.

Long Haochen suddenly turned to Lin Xin and shouted, “Lin Xin, Eagle Eye Technique! Quick! Check if there’s anything different about that Demon Hunt Squad.”

Lin Xin responded. He also sensed that Long Haochen’s mood was off, so he didn’t dare to delay. He quickly raised the fire crystal staff in his hand and rapidly cast an Eagle Eye Technique.

During this process, the two Demon Hunt Squads continued to move forward, rapidly approaching the enemy.

Long Haochen asked anxiously, “How is it?”

Lin Xin frowned slightly. “I see them. It’s strange. The black-clothed youth leading them seems weird to me. He’s wearing a hat that covers his face, but I feel like he’s familiar. Also, the woman wearing a cloak behind him feels familiar too. Wait, ah! It’s her.”

Lin Xin’s sudden exclamation startled everyone in the team. Long Haochen asked urgently, “Who is it?”

Lin Xin said, “It’s Yue Ye. The woman in their team is Yue Ye. Not good, could the leader be the one from last time…”

Indeed, just as Lin Xin’s Eagle Eye Technique was scanning, the woman ranked second in that Demon Hunt Squad took off the cloak on her head, revealing her true face. Although it was only for a moment, Lin Xin clearly saw her purple hair and beautiful face. It was Yue Ye!

Long Haochen’s heart instantly sank to the bottom. “We’ve been tricked. There must be an ambush.” While thinking, he quickly looked at Tian Qing and the others ahead. At this moment, Tian Qing and the others had just rushed down a hillside and disappeared from Long Haochen’s sight.

Intense magical fluctuations bloomed at that moment. Even from a distance, they could clearly feel the temperature in the air dropping sharply, and the terrifying energy fluctuations increased accordingly. Obviously, the seventeenth King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad had launched an attack. Long Haochen and the others discovered it a little too late.

That Demon Hunt Squad that leisurely walked out of Dayak City was indeed A’Bao and his Dragon Group Demon Hunt Squad.

After making an accurate judgment, A’Bao gradually laid a trap for Long Haochen and the others. His method was very simple. First, he blocked the Demon Hunt Squad’s reconnaissance as much as possible in the city, and then withdrew the Demon Hunt Squads one by one, gradually numbing Long Haochen and the others. Their purpose in leaving the city this time was naturally to lure the snake out of its hole. How could they catch a big fish without giving Long Haochen and the others a chance to attack?

A’Bao’s strategy might not be very clever, but it was definitely simple and effective. Long Haochen and Tian Qing were both smart, but the obvious deception was not easy to detect. Especially since A’Bao had absolute confidence in himself, so the people he ambushed were far away.

When Yue Ye took off her cloak, A’Bao turned his head and glared at her dissatisfiedly. Just as he was about to scold her, suddenly, intense magical fluctuations appeared, and a Demon Hunt Squad of six people rushed straight towards them.

It’s not that person, this was A’Bao’s first judgment. But no matter what, this was also a Demon Hunt Squad! Moreover, daring to attack him with the strength of a Demon Hunt Squad must mean it was at least a King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad. Killing them would also be a great achievement.

A hint of a sneer appeared at the corner of A’Bao’s mouth. He shouted coldly, “Form a defensive formation!” As he said these words, he raised his right hand, and a ball of purplish-black light rose into the air, exploding with a strong halo. This was the signal, the signal to launch the ambush.

The huge body of the Bear Demon had already strode to the front, and at this moment, powerful magic had already descended.

Ice and Snow Storm, a seventh-tier group attack ice magic.

Among the seventeenth King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad, there were only three pieces of legendary equipment in total: Tian Qing’s shield, the summoner’s silver crystal ball, and the magician’s staff. This was also the configuration method chosen by most Demon Hunt Squads, which could maximize the Demon Hunt Squad’s survivability and attack power. Undoubtedly, the magician was their strongest attack output.

Ice and Snow Storm was a large-scale magic, even a seventh-tier magician would need at least more than a minute to chant, but for this reason, this magic was also the most powerful of all seventh-tier water magics.

The magician of the seventeenth King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad even used the slow chanting method, delaying the time for the magic to be cast, making the magic’s condensed magic elements even more powerful.

Snowflakes the size of palms fell from the sky, cold and chilling. They also carried an incomparably fierce whistling sound. Each snowflake was like a blade, cutting through the air, cutting everything. In the terrifying whistling sound, the snowflakes accelerated, sweeping towards the Dragon Group Demon Hunt Squad overwhelmingly.

Ice and Snow Storm was not a pure water magic, but also had a wind magic effect. The legendary staff in the hand of the magician of the seventeenth King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad was a rare ice and wind dual-attribute staff, and casting this magic had a bonus effect. Therefore, this magic clearly had the power of an eighth-tier magic.

It could be clearly seen that during the process of casting the magic, the magician’s face was gradually turning pale, which showed how much burden he was bearing at this time.

This was a magic that could not be avoided at all, covering an area of at least several thousand square meters. A’Bao and his demon companions quickly gathered together. The Bear Demon hugged his head with both hands, but stood proudly. It could be clearly seen that his thick fur all stood on end, and there was also a faint layer of purplish-black rippling around his body, like a barrier to resist the strongest frontal attack.

Two black-clothed youths slowly floated up from behind. Dense dark purple light spread out from their hands. Surprisingly, they each had a staff in their hands, and the magical fluctuations emanating from them were very strong. Although it was not legendary, it was also at the peak of glory. You must know that few demon magicians could use staffs. Dark attribute staffs could only be made by the demons themselves. The Temple Alliance would not make staffs of this attribute! The appearance of two staffs at once showed the configuration of this Dragon Group Demon Hunt Squad. It could be said that even without A’Bao’s existence, the strength of this Demon Hunt Squad was far stronger than the one Long Haochen and the others faced last time.

A’Bao’s body slowly floated up. He floated in the center of the team. Facing the overwhelming Ice and Snow Storm, his eyes suddenly lit up, he tore off the hat on his head, and punched into the void.

When his punch hit the air, it immediately produced a terrifying feeling of space collapsing. The snowflakes falling from the sky instantly shattered in this collapsed space, unable to land on them at all.

Terrifying magic and powerful defense collided fully at this moment. The clearest thing on the battlefield was the harsh tearing sound. After covering an area of several thousand square meters, the Ice and Snow Storm quickly gathered towards the center, gradually forming a huge ice and snow tornado, strangling all ten demon powerhouses.

This magic was the trump card of the seventeenth King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad and the strongest strike that their magician could cast. Just like Lin Xin casting Blue Fire Phoenix, after this strike, he would lose most of his combat power.

While the Ice and Snow Storm bloomed, the others of the seventeenth King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad naturally did not idle. They rushed down at an astonishing speed. The priest had already started releasing skills to help the magician restore magic power. The summoner also began to chant rapidly, and sixth-level magical beasts quickly appeared on the battlefield, rushing towards the Demon Hunt Squad as vanguards. Tian Qing raised the greatsword in his hand and charged towards the Bear Demon head-on. The assassin was hidden in the air, and the warrior took out a pair of huge battle axes and followed him.

The most fundamental reason why Tian Qing was so confident in ambushing this Demon Hunt Squad came from the powerful magic of Ice and Snow Storm. He had strong confidence in his own magician. In his judgment, at least one-third of the enemy would be reduced after this magic was cast, and the others would also be greatly affected, injured and slowed down by the low temperature of the Ice and Snow Storm. The subsequent battle would naturally enter their rhythm. Tian Qing was confident that he could end this battle in a very short time, and then quickly escape, like last time, and return to the headquarters to rest. As long as this task was completed, even if they lay dormant for another three months, it would be no problem. Then they would leave here and continue other tasks.

When the Ice and Snow Storm completely enveloped the enemy, Tian Qing seemed to feel that his mission was about to be completed. However, when he charged to a hundred meters away from the enemy, his face had already changed slightly.

He could have expected the Bear Demon’s resistance. After all, the Bear Demon’s defense power was well known, and he had not thought that this group attack magic could kill the most defensive race of the demons. However, what surprised him was the defense in the middle and rear. The Ice and Snow Storm attacked from all directions, and defending one side was useless. However, the enemy had completed the overall defense at this time.

The two demons in the rear supported a huge light shield, constantly bearing the attack of the Ice and Snow Storm. Although they supported it very hard, constantly releasing one magic after another, they still supported it after all. The most important thing was the black-clothed youth floating in mid-air. His punches into the void resolved too much of the Ice and Snow Storm’s power, so that the power of the entire magic was reduced by at least more than half. Although they were also affected by the cold, at least so far, none of them had suffered any real harm. You must know that the magician of the seventeenth King-ranked Demon Hunt Squad could not maintain this magic for too long, his magic power was ultimately limited.
