Chapter 248: Concealing One's Achievements and Fame
"Hiss—ah!"
A piercing shriek rang out.
Twelve thick pillars of multicolored light gradually receded into the distance, while the remaining demons retreated far away beneath the cover of several weaker lights.
The Demon Race had withdrawn.
Zhennan Pass did not pursue them. The commanders gathered their respective forces and began dealing with the aftermath.
Although they had driven back the Demon Race, the price they had paid was exceedingly heavy.
Every soldier was drenched in blood. Nearly every melee combatant was wounded, and some had even been maimed. Only the mages, priests, and summoners were in relatively better condition.
Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yi led their respective Demon Hunter Squads over as well.
Everyone looked at Ye Tian with strange expressions in their eyes.
After entering the battlefield, the four Demon Hunter Squads had not been far apart, so they had witnessed General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21's performance in full.
If the strength displayed by the other members had merely surprised them while still leaving them confident they could catch up—
Then Ye Tian charging forward alone, first slaying several seventh-tier demons before powerfully killing an eighth-tier Moon Demon with thunderous force, had left them all numb.
It was simply too outrageous.
They were clearly members of the same generation of Demon Hunter Squads, yet the gap between them had grown so vast. Just thinking about it made their limbs go weak.
"Brother Ye, there aren't many people I admire in this life, but you're definitely one of them!"
Yang Wenzhao spoke calmly.
He was now completely convinced.
Hearing this, Ye Tian merely smiled and shook his head. "I'm not as extraordinary as you say. Compared to me, the countless soldiers here are the ones who deserve far more respect."
