Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

These powerful creatures in the General Tier broke the sound barrier in less than two seconds, appearing as illusions weaving through the streets, catching up to the ambushing team within a few breaths!

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The team had clearly planned a retreat route long ago, with various traps filled along the path of the Horned Demon’s pursuit, such as fiery rune explosions, bizarre devouring plants, and fully automated heavy weapon turrets.

However, at the cost of four Horned Demons, the remaining ones still caught up with the team. Even as they fought desperately, they were eventually met with inevitable death, their necks snapped by the Horned Demons amidst hopeless and furious screams!

The team had tried their best; they were mostly at the Fierce Tier, with only the man executing the ambush reaching the General Tier, yet he managed to kill four whole General Tier Horned Demons and cripple a war vehicle. Objectively speaking, in such an exchange, humanity was at an advantage.

Similar situations were occurring at every corner of the defensive line, as the Horned Demons’ advance encountered unprecedented fierce resistance.

But the problem is... Humanity cannot afford such exchanges!

From a distance, Chu Xiu opened his eyes, a heavy look flashing across his face.

Now, humanity is sacrificing its elite soldiers!

These soldiers possess exceedingly high resistance and fearless determination! However, ordinary Awakened individuals definitely do not have such strong willpower.

Once these elites are consumed to a certain degree, the entire defensive line will start to collapse!

It could be said, although this seems to be just a marginal defense line around the city, even if breached, ample city terrain remains for urban warfare. In reality, this is a decisive line that cannot retreat any further!

”Boom!”

At this moment, a muffled sound echoed from afar, signaling the outbreak of a fierce battle in the sky. Three Heroic Spirit Horned Demons were hunting a heroic spirit from the human race!

The Heroic Spirit was already severely wounded, scrambling through the corridors, while the Heroic Spirit Horned Demons released their powers without restraint, even if the attacks didn’t hit the Heroic Spirit, they managed to destroy large sections of buildings. Soldiers inside, who didn’t escape in time, were melted into fundamental particles by the terrifying power of the Heroic Spirit!

This increased the heaviness in Chu Xiu’s eyes.

Humanity’s high-tier combat power was suppressed!

Moreover, since this was in the human’s turf, enemy Heroic Spirits could recklessly unleash wide-range attacks, while the ambush set by humans could only eliminate ordinary Horned Demons and couldn’t touch the Heroic Spirits!

Not to mention, the enemy’s Heroic Spirits enormously outnumbered ours!

Meanwhile, the demigods on both sides were holding each other back, neither daring to make the first move!

Under such circumstances, the situation could only worsen!

As Chu Xiu was beginning to feel restless, finally, his communication device suddenly lit up. The next instant, Ella and Chen Yuan appeared simultaneously behind Chu Xiu.

”The support assignment has arrived.”

Chu Xiu nodded, waved his hand, putting away the Thousand Souls Banner and the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch.

At this moment, astonishing energy was radiating from these two secret treasures!

Through the hard-fought efforts of the frontline warriors over the past four hours, Chu Xiu’s Demon Legion had undergone a qualitative change once again!

Although still far from complete refinement, it’s sufficient! Next, it will be tempered in the fires of conflict!

Chu Xiu’s form flashed, powerful energy surged around him, breaking the sound barrier and disappearing instantly!

The government had dispatched them to the area where the front line was collapsing most severely!

The Horned Demons concentrated a massive force here, a full thirty thousand Horned Demons with over a hundred war vehicles! Looking down, the defensive line had been torn open like a bubble they were inflating, allowing more Horned Demons to keep pouring in and spreading around!

If this area were breached, the invading Horned Demons could reverse the tide, encircling and cutting off forces in other regions, causing the entire defense line to be completely ripped apart!

Moreover, more dire was that the Horned Demons were already nearing the edge of the shelter!

”Bang!”

A two-meter-long giant arrow shot out from a building, penetrating a Horned Demon’s body, and continued its momentum into the war vehicle behind, triggering consecutive explosions!

This was a skill from a King Tier Awakened, and an Advanced King Tier at that!

On the other side, the attacks from the Horned Demon war vehicles were intercepted by layers of shields.

This was a mall with only seven floors, yet it was chosen by the government for defense facility modifications, incorporating the most advanced shield generators, extraordinary-grade building materials, numerous heavy weapons, and at its center, a core energy facility occupying over a thousand square meters and three stories deep!

Back in previous generations, this terrifying energy was enough to temporarily power a city, allowing the shield generator to retain two-thirds of its energy even after bombarding from extraterrestrial battleships!

This had made it an important stronghold within the government’s defensive design, housing a multitude of powerful individuals. Around it, Horned Demon corpses and abandoned war vehicles were a common sight.

The Horned Demons had been aggressively attacking this location for nearly half an hour without breaking through, leaving a pile of corpses behind instead.

Yet now is the perfect opportunity; reinforcements have shifted the Heroic Spirit level combat power to a ratio of eleven to five in our favor!

”Blast open the nearby shelters, force these people out!”

Cold orders were given, and the Horned Demons receiving the command showed no hesitation, but rather cruel excitement glimmered in their yellow-brown eyes.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Powerful Horned Demons demolished the nearby shelter buildings like drills, relentlessly digging downward! Against the formidable power of the General Tier, metal steel plates were like fragile tofu, soon enough leaving unsightly pits on the ground.

”Boom!”

With another hit, terrified screams echoed from the bottom of the pits.

The Horned Demons let out gleeful laughs, with another punch, the originally faltering ceiling completely collapsed, stones mixed with Frenzied Horned Demon energy fell, painting the collapsed area in blood!

”Cowards! Come out and face us in open battle! Or the bloody celebration will commence!”

The arrogant laugh of the Horned Demon leader resounded over the entire city, clearly transmitted through the shield to the interior of the mall.

The mall remained silent, no one knew exactly what the Awakened inside were thinking.

If they didn’t go out to fight, they would have to witness tens of thousands of companions die miserably, but if they rashly attacked causing the base to break, even more would perish!

”Cowards!”

The Horned Demon leader spat, reaching out to grab a man.

The man, full of fear, was clothed in Spiritual Light, actually an Awakened!

But clearly, he did not possess the courage to fight, hiding in the shelter like an ordinary person, and he was only of the Warrior Tier. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t affect the Horned Demon one bit.

”Crunch.”

The Horned Demon leader casually crushed his spine, like crushing an ant, then swung him around like a trophy, shaking his arm.

With no reaction from the stronghold inside, the Horned Demon tossed the man’s corpse away like a rag, grabbing another person.

This time, a female Awakened; the same fate, displayed and then cruelly slaughtered.

Afterwards, it murdered several Awakened consecutively, yet still no reaction from the stronghold, leading to its increasing impatience.

With a cold snort, the Horned Demon leader summoned Spiritual Power, forming a large hand grabbing downward, this time snatching up a mother and daughter!

These two were not Awakened but ordinary people completely defenseless! The mother looked less than thirty, while the girl was still nursing-age!

Although the child didn’t understand what was happening, she sensed something was wrong and began crying loudly. Despair and fear were etched across the woman’s face as she looked at her child, her voice trembling, ”Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”

The Horned Demon glanced at them, displeased, ”Tsk,” saying, ”Unlucky, only Mortal Tiers came up, have I caught all the worthwhile warriors?”

Just as it was about to kill them and grab another, a furious roar echoed from inside the mall:

”Stop!”

The Horned Demon surprisedly raised its head, seeing soldiers breaking through the shield, angrily charging towards its location!
