After hearing Cai’er’s answer, Shu Yongxiao’s eyes finally regained their gentleness, “Your understanding is acceptable. However, I want to tell you, and also to emphasize, that the true essence of an assassin is not three things, but only one: a single strike.”
“This Tree Demon God’s cultivation was originally inferior to mine. I could kill him in various ways, and wouldn’t even need to expend 50% of my power. Why did I go all out, sacrificing so much of myself for just one strike? Think about it carefully. This is not just the essence of an assassin, but also a habit that an assassin should truly master. An assassin’s attack can never have a second chance. Otherwise, it’s a failure.”
Shu Yongxiao didn’t say much, but these few short sentences had already opened a door to the pinnacle of assassination in Cai’er’s heart.
Shu Yongxiao’s gaze turned towards Long Haochen, who was suspended in the center of the battlefield, and his eyes showed a slight change.
He must have detected my attack. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have disregarded the Tree Demon God’s domain. But how did he detect it?
On a massive battlefield of over 200,000 people, where things changed in an instant, Long Haochen also took action at the same time as Shu Yongxiao killed the Tree Demon God.
A ball of emerald green light lit up at his chest, and then, that green light transformed into a conspicuous pillar of light in the dark night sky, shooting straight towards the Tree Demon God’s Demon God Pillar.
The emerald green light drew a dazzling arc in the sky, falling straight onto the Demon God Pillar.
Instantly, the Demon God Pillar, which had been baring its fangs and claws and transforming into a giant treant, stiffened. Then, it withered at an alarming rate.
The emerald light lasted for three seconds. The moment the light disappeared, a layer of emerald green light flashed across Long Haochen’s body.
Long Haochen took a step in the void, the purple-golden纹纹 on his forehead shining. He struck the top of the Demon God Pillar with his palm.
A scene that shook the entire battlefield appeared. The Tree Demon God’s Demon God Pillar trembled violently, and then, cracks began to appear on its body.
Originally, these cracks shouldn’t have been obvious in the darkness, but they emitted a purple-golden glow, making it impossible to ignore them.
With a deafening roar, the Demon God Pillar shattered into countless fragments, flying in all directions. Long Haochen still stood proudly in the sky, and a huge, milky-white light of judgment exploded at the same time, setting off his proud figure and the mysterious and terrifying Eternal and Creation Godly Throne, judging all the hundreds of Tree Demon God’s personal guards guarding directly below the Demon God Pillar.
This was the third Demon God Pillar destroyed by Long Haochen and his companions. Haoyue hadn’t appeared, but Long Haochen possessed its power of destruction.
On the battlefield, the most important thing was morale. When the Tree Demon God fell and the Demon God Pillar was destroyed, the morale of the Demon Clan’s 200,000-strong army was broken.
In the distance, the Dagger Army quietly approached under the cover of night. In just ten minutes, the first round of collective magic bombardment would fall on the core area of the Demon Clan’s army. But the Demon Clan’s mages, under the pressure of the Eternal and Creation Godly Throne, were unable to launch organized counterattacks, let alone lock onto those ninth-tier powerhouses in the air.
“I’ve stored that ability.” Ye Xiaolei’s voice rang in Long Haochen’s ear, and then, a flash of green light came from his chest, and a small figure emerged from the light and landed on his shoulder.
Three inches tall, exquisitely crafted as if carved from emerald, the gentle aura of life wasn’t strong, but a pair of dark green eyes were full of intelligent light.
This was the current Ye Xiaolei, and also Long Haochen’s Wisdom Spiritual Stove.
The Light Elemental Elf had transformed into the Light Elf King, but he had also gained a brand-new Godly Elf.
“You can store skills?” Long Haochen looked curiously at Ye Xiaolei on his shoulder.
Ye Xiaolei giggled and said, “I’m a Wisdom Spiritual Stove, of course I’m the most powerful. Not only can I store any natural attribute skills, but I can also use your power to help them evolve. You’ll know more and more how much I can help you in the future. For example, your domain skill that controls the process of life has evolved greatly. Even some of the abilities of the Eternal and Creation Godly Throne, which are compatible with me, will evolve under my influence.”
Long Haochen smiled slightly and said, “When I have a chance in the future, I will definitely find a suitable body for you too. I still like you in your original human form. It’s too unfair to you to follow me like this.”
Ye Xiaolei shook her head gently, “Thank you for your kindness. But, you don’t understand. Although I was very happy living in Dream Paradise, I lacked a great sense of security. I’m very happy with you, so don’t drive me away. If I really want to leave you, I don’t need your help.”
When a huge golden sword light slashed across a thousand meters, killing all the high-ranking hellish demons that had managed to gather together, the Demon Clan’s army was finally crushed by the last straw and began a great rout.
The Dagger Army had also arrived at this time, truly like a sharp dagger inserted from behind. Under the leadership of Zhang Fangfang, who possessed the Wisdom and Spirit Godly Throne, they attacked with all their might.
Long Haochen still commanded the overall situation in the air, while the members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad and the Eternal Heroes all focused their attacks on the escape routes of the demons. They did their best to use their powerful attacks to gather the defeated demons who wanted to scatter, and at the same time slow down their escape speed.
This 200,000-strong demon army was the elite of the demon clan! Keeping them here as much as possible would be a huge blow to the demons. Especially since the main force in this 200,000-strong demon army was the demon race and the bear demon race. What a huge disaster these two powerful combat races would bring to humans on a normal battlefield?

This battle seemed like Long Haochen and his companions won easily, but in reality, how many powerhouses did they deploy? Nearly thirty ninth-tier powerhouses, and more than twenty domain powerhouses. Even the Demon God Emperor had to treat such a force with caution. Not to mention a Demon Clan army led by only one Demon God?
Of course, this Demon Clan army also didn’t fully exert their combat power. If they hadn’t failed to scout and given them enough time to react, it would have cost the humans a lot to defeat them.
Fighting from night to day, the Dagger Army pursued for nearly three hundred miles. In the end, they annihilated more than 150,000 enemies, and only tens of thousands of demon remnants managed to escape.
Among the human powerhouses, the one who killed the most was not the main attacker, the magician Lin Xin, but Yating.
Although the Heart Flame Meteor Shower covered the largest area, it couldn’t withstand Yating’s speed of killing! Her King’s Sword Domain was invincible in the Demon Clan’s army, and no demon could withstand her attack. The hundred-meter-long giant sword swept through the chaotic Demon Clan army, causing hundreds of casualties in a single circle. In this battle, Yating probably directly killed more than ten thousand enemies. The Eternal Heroes, who had seen many big scenes, couldn’t help but look at her with admiration. Yating had special abilities, strong cultivation, and was also an elf, so no Eternal Hero chose her for inheritance. But the killing power she displayed and the nearly endless follow-up of spiritual power greatly shocked these eternal powerhouses.
Relatively speaking, the Eternal Heroes hardly made full use of their strength. They mostly assisted the members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad, giving all the righteous image to these young people. This was also where the Eternal Heroes were experienced. Who could say for sure what the situation would be on the battlefield? What if enemy reinforcements appeared, and the reinforcements were strong enough? By retaining enough strength, they could fully respond to any situation.
It could be said that this was an unprecedented victory for mankind against the demons.
In the past six thousand years, the Temple Alliance could of course win some local victories, but in order to prevent the demons from retaliating with all their might, humans not only launched fewer proactive attacks in the war with the demons, but also didn’t pursue too much once the demons retreated.
But now it was different. With the addition of the Eternal Heroes and the demons destroying two title-level hunter squads, summoning more than fifty demon gods to prepare to launch a full-scale attack, the Federation naturally didn’t need to restrain itself in the slightest. Striking the demons as much as possible was the goal of the Dagger Army. Only by hitting the Demon God Emperor where it hurt would they be able to fully attract the main force of the Demon Clan and achieve the final goal of bringing the decisive battle to Yulong Pass.
The great battle lasted all night, and even professionals would feel tired. Long Haochen ordered the Dagger Army to rest in a dense forest in the Demon Clan’s territory, and at the same time had Han Yu, who was responsible for taking care of the horses in the back, lead the remaining troops to bring all the horses over. At the same time, he called a meeting of the Dawn of Light and the Eternal Heroes.
A delicate parchment map was spread out in front of him. Long Haochen squatted on the ground and pointed to a spot on the map, saying, “We are currently in this location. In the previous battle, we almost annihilated all the main force of the demons stationed outside Yulong Pass. Our army suffered little damage with the sufficient treatment of the priests.”
The combat power of the Dagger Army was even stronger than Long Haochen had expected. The perfect combination of the six major temples and six professions also confirmed for the first time the absolute advantage of multi-professional joint operations.
“Continuing to move east, we will enter the Demon Clan’s Sa Demon Province. The Sa Demon Clan is a relatively weak race in the Demon Clan. Apart from being resistant to cold, they have almost no strong combat power. In previous wars, they mostly served as transporters of supplies for the demons stationed outside Yulong Pass. Han Yu, has the news been sent back to Yulong Pass?”
Han Yu nodded and said, “We sent the news of our victory back as soon as possible. Yulong Pass should send people over to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils of war soon. The Demon Clan’s granary reserves are quite good here, especially various seafood foods, which are preserved very well.”
Long Haochen smiled slightly and said, “Sa Demon Province is the province furthest from the central provinces in the Demon Clan’s territory.”
