Long Haochen didn’t even need to say anything; he and Haoyue were of one mind. Haoyue’s three heads popped out from the city walls, firing light arrows, wind blades, and fireballs in rapid succession. They were incredibly accurate, wasting no effort. Each spell precisely targeted a dual-bladed demon. In just one round of bombardment, a swath of dual-bladed demons climbing up the walls were blasted down.

This was the power of magic on the battlefield. Generally, in any Demon Hunt Squad, the primary source of damage came from mages. Of course, exceptions like the Grade One Demon Hunt Squad existed… The summoned beasts of Summoner Mages or the mounts of Knights also had their kills count towards merit points. Merit tokens were equivalent to Spiritual-Magical equipment, binding not only to bloodlines but also to all contracts. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be of such high grade. The detection arrays within them were extremely precise.

Originally, Long Haochen wasn’t the one with the most kills, but after Haoyue joined, no one could compare to him. Haoyue’s three heads were releasing only first and second-tier spells, but they were already sufficient to deal with dual-bladed demons. The area covered by the magic was so large that Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan had to move away to the sides, otherwise they would have nothing to do.

Long Haochen’s Gathering Light Aura was extraordinarily effective. The group naturally wouldn’t use powerful skills against dual-bladed demons. With the support of the Gathering Light Aura, they constantly maintained their optimal condition. For these fourth and fifth-tier powerhouses, as long as they had ample spiritual power, physical exhaustion could naturally be compensated for by spiritual power.

Long Haochen’s Demon Hunt Squad wasn’t the only one to take to the battlefield. As time passed, familiar scenes began to appear on the city walls not far away.

For instance, Bai Xiaomo’s signature plant attacks, the occasional flashes of Light-attribute spiritual power, Huang Yi’s Earth-attribute magic, and so on.

The city’s defenders were all infantry. Although not all ten infantry battalions were on the city walls, there were still as many as five. Five battalions, five thousand infantry. This was more than enough to resist these dual-bladed demons in the past. What’s more, five Demon Hunt Squads had joined. The constantly flashing magical lights and the occasional rays of healing light greatly reduced the pressure on the infantrymen.

The newly-promoted Demon Hunt Squads were displaying their strength for the first time. Unlike the matches in the Holy City, they were now facing enemies, with no need to hold back. The dual-bladed demons, a low-end demonic species, had become their best whetstones.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. Due to the formidable performance of Long Haochen and the others, the idle Zhang Hairong had to retreat and focus on commanding the soldiers. However, he frequently glanced in Long Haochen’s direction.

Every member of the Grade One Demon Hunt Squad was strong, but Long Haochen was the only one who truly captivated Zhang Hairong. Not to mention the powerful magical beast he had summoned, Long Haochen himself was like a legend to Zhang Hairong.

This young boy, who looked no older than his teens and was as beautiful as a girl, was simply too powerful. His Gathering Light Aura had been continuously released for a full half hour!

Although Zhang Hairong didn’t know which tier skill it was, he had personally felt the effect of the Gathering Light Aura and naturally understood how strenuous it was. Yet, Long Haochen had been fighting while releasing the Gathering Light Aura, without any rest. He didn’t seem to be showing any signs of exhaustion.

The greatest impression Long Haochen gave him was that of composure. Despite his young age, Long Haochen’s aura was captivating. His strength was clearly immense, but he hadn’t released a single powerful skill while resisting the dual-bladed demons, at most only using the Light斩Sword. And his gaze frequently swept over his companions, clearly monitoring the overall situation.

Truly an elite! This boy’s cultivation is probably at the fifth tier. A fifth-tier Great Earth Knight! When I was his age, I was still struggling at the second tier.

Just as Zhang Hairong was constantly thinking in admiration, a strange sound suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.

“Woo——, woo——, woo——”

Three low, chilling wails echoed through the air. Looking into the distance from the city walls, three enormous dark golden beams of light suddenly shot into the sky.

These three beams of light were filled with a savage aura, and their dark golden luster instantly spread out.

Upon hearing these three mournful howls, the dual-bladed demons below the city walls seemed to have taken stimulants. Their eyes shone with madness as they charged towards the city walls even more frantically.

At the same time, dozens of dazzling golden orbs shot out from the city walls of the Exorcist City, heading straight into the distance.

Long Haochen subconsciously looked back and saw another level of city walls above. The golden orbs were launched from within that upper level.

The dozens of golden orbs flew in scattered directions, and after only a dozen seconds, they exploded, releasing thousands of golden rays in the air.

The golden light shone down, and the dual-bladed demon army below slowed down, clearly fearing the golden light. With the aid of this illumination, Long Haochen couldn’t help but gasp. He could clearly see that in the distance, an unknown number of demonic armies were surging towards them like a tidal wave.

This time, it wasn’t just dual-bladed demons. Not only were the ground troops different, but there was also a vast demonic air force like a dark cloud.

Zhang Hairong’s expression changed drastically. “Everyone be careful, the demons are launching a full-scale attack!”

Long Haochen raised the Holy Spirit Shield high above his head, swaying it slightly. His companions immediately understood and quickly gathered around him, forming a wedge formation almost instantly.

Long Haochen temporarily stopped the Gathering Light Aura and unhesitatingly consumed a Spirit Gathering Pill given by Lin Xin. He took half a step back, closed his eyes slightly, and quickly recovered the spiritual power he had consumed earlier.

He was able to use the Gathering Light Aura for such a long time due to the power of his Child of Light physique. The liquid spiritual power was consumed slowly, which was what enabled him to sustain it. But his own spiritual power consumption was already approaching half. However, his efforts were clearly effective; at least his companions were still in peak condition.

Han Yu behind him unhesitatingly released a Light magic spell, Radiance of Heaven and Earth, transferring his own internal spiritual power to Long Haochen. Whether as an Escort Knight or as a backup knight in the team, this was what he should do.

With the support of Han Yu and the effect of the Spirit Gathering Pill, Long Haochen’s spiritual power rapidly recovered.

“Everyone be careful, don’t advance rashly. Lin Xin, pay attention to the defense above.” Long Haochen reminded them simply. The Holy Spirit Armor once again emitted the light of Holy Spirit Protection.

With the Demon race launching a full-scale attack, the dual-bladed demons’ attacks increased in intensity. The flares in the air lasted a long time, and from the city walls, one could clearly see some massive figures.

But at this moment, Long Haochen didn’t have time to carefully identify the demons. At this moment, he truly understood why his teacher said that individual strength was always insignificant on the battlefield.

Looking at the overwhelming demonic army, their seven-person Demon Hunt Squad seemed so small, let alone the insignificance of an individual within it.

At the same time, intense magical fluctuations began to emanate from the upper level of the city walls, and one could faintly hear low chanting.

Without a doubt, the high-level professionals guarding the Exorcist City were all on that upper level. With the Demon race launching a full-scale attack, it was time for them to unleash their power.

In just a dozen breaths of time, the nature of the demons charging onto the city walls had changed.

Long Haochen slashed away a dual-bladed demon, and the next moment, he saw a familiar emerald green color.

“Everyone be careful!” Long Haochen shouted. A beam of white light spewed out from his chest, it was the Spiritual Stove of Holy Guidance.

The emerald green figure stepped forcefully on the battlements, roaring savagely as it took to the air, charging straight towards Long Haochen.

This powerful figure was about two meters tall and about three meters long. On its back, there was a pair of not-very-wide, shell-like wings. These wings couldn’t allow it to fly, but they could keep its burly body balanced during its forward rush. Its savage head was somewhat like a lizard’s, but wider, revealing rows of sharp teeth. The most ferocious part was its pair of 1.5-meter-long forelimbs, resembling heavy blades. Was it not the king of the dual-bladed demons of the Zerin tribe, the Emerald Dual-Bladed Demon that once brought Long Haochen his first pot of gold?

When Long Haochen first faced the Emerald Dual-Bladed Demon, his cultivation was only at the fourth tier. Now, he was not only a Great Earth Knight, but his companions were also far from what they were back then.

The Holy Spirit Shield in his left hand shone with white light, it was the Holy Light Impregnated Shield. Facing the Emerald Dual-Bladed Demon, he fearlessly met it head-on, using God’s Shield Deflection.

With a loud “clang—,” the Emerald Dual-Bladed Demon’s forearm slammed into the Holy Spirit Shield, erupting with dazzling white light. Long Haochen’s body shone with golden light, but he didn’t retreat a single step. He held up the Holy Spirit Sword in his right hand and blocked the Emerald Dual-Bladed Demon’s second attack.

“Clang—” It was still God’s Shield Deflection.

In the nick of time, Long Haochen had actually used two consecutive God’s Shield Deflections, blocking all of the Emerald Dual-Bladed Demon’s first round of attacks.

Consecutive Deflections, this was another secret technique Long Haochen had chosen from the Saint Union Treasure Trove. It sounded like an ordinary skill, but the technique of Consecutive Deflections combined with God’s Shield Deflection was the true heaven-defying skill for a Guardian Knight! Almost all Glorious Knight-level Guardian Knights would choose it.

The number of consecutive deflections was related to the user’s cultivation. With Long Haochen’s current strength, he could only use God’s Shield Deflection twice in a row. The spiritual power consumed by using it the second time would be twice that of the first time. However, on the battlefield against a powerful enemy, two consecutive God’s Shield Deflections and the added Light Retribution could very well deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Shield Block Repulsion.
