Three Great Demon Gods

Long Haochen's heart jolted. He raised the twin swords in his hands slightly, and a blaze of intense golden flame suddenly surged from his body. In this blood-soaked night, the golden flames were like sacred light meant to purify the darkness. They instantly illuminated everything around him, carrying scorching heat that seemed to cleanse even much of the stench of blood.

Sun Fire.

Yang Wenzhao had used this skill before. After breaking through to the Fifth Rank, Long Haochen had also learned this powerful Punishment Knight skill from the Ring of Inheritance his father had given him.

Sun Fire consumed an enormous amount of spiritual energy, but it was a powerful skill that combined offense and defense. Yang Wenzhao could not sustain it for long when he used it, but Long Haochen held a far greater advantage in this regard. With the Child of Light physique, his consumption while using Sun Fire was much lower. Not to mention that he had Little Light's support and the pills Lin Xin had given him.

Long Haochen had faced Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users before. Back then, just one Invisibility User had nearly taken Lin Jiayou's life. Yet the scene before him even made him feel dazed—and this was on a battlefield. One could imagine how many Invisibility Users stood on the other side.

Seeing that they could not hold the front line, the demon army had dispatched a massive number of Invisibility Users, intending to weaken the Radiant Angels Knight Order through assassination.

The Radiant Angels Knight Order clearly had not appeared on the battlefield for the first time. Through previous encounters, the demons had accumulated some experience in dealing with them. This was, after all, a combination of knights and assassins. Moreover, they had already charged some distance beyond Demon Expelling Pass, where the priests' Eye of Truth could not reach. The Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users' formidable concealment abilities would undoubtedly give both knights and assassins a terrible headache. The Dark Night Assassins experts could still evade attacks with their speed and concealment, but the Radiant Angels Knights were all conspicuous targets.

Long Haochen narrowed his eyes, his mental state rising to its peak. With a flicker of thought, he did not hesitate as Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his left hand unleashed a Lightning Thrust toward the left.

Hibiscus of Light's sustained effect immediately erupted, countless rays of light enveloping a vast area.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang..." A series of explosive impacts rang out as an illusory figure faintly appeared within Long Haochen's field of vision.

Sun Fire surged forth in an instant, followed immediately after the Lightning Thrust by a Light Slash Sword.

An ordinary Light Slash Sword was not particularly powerful, but one infused with Sun Fire could rival even Sunburst Slash. Dazzling golden flames formed into a massive blade and flashed past.

With a puff, a gray demon was cut in half by Long Haochen. Its severed body was charred black, the result of light burning away darkness.

However, this was only the beginning.

Just as Long Haochen dealt with that Ground Clan Invisibility User, sharp killing intent came at him from at least three directions at once.

At this moment, the reaction speed Long Haochen had tempered in Owl Ant Cave played a decisive role.

Most Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users possessed strength above the Fourth Rank. The Holy Spirit Sword in Long Haochen's hand instantly transformed into countless streaks of light. Clusters of white radiance could clearly be seen blooming continuously before him. Every flash of white light was accompanied by a clang. Since he was charging at the very front, Long Haochen naturally faced the greatest number of Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users.

At least seven or eight Invisibility Users were besieging him at once. Yet as Long Haochen wielded his dual heavy swords, he blocked every attack without revealing the slightest opening. At the same time, beneath the burning Sun Fire, every one of those Invisibility Users was left with more or less some trace of injury.

The Light Attribute was the greatest bane of demons, who mainly wielded darkness attributes, and Long Haochen's Sun Fire was exceptionally powerful. Amid the dense string of collisions, most of the weapons in the Invisibility Users' hands had been heated red-hot.

A ring of fiery red light instantly spread outward, shoving away the Invisibility Users whose attack power had suddenly weakened. It was the Repelling Fire Ring released by Little Fire.

Immediately afterward, Long Haochen swept his swords in a circle, and Light Slash Swords erupted from both hands. Light Slash Swords imbued with Sun Fire were simply not something these Invisibility Users could withstand. They were instantly cut down in swathes like wheat.

Sheng Lingxin had been keeping a close watch on Long Haochen, fearing that he might be ambushed by an Invisibility User. But seeing how well Long Haochen was handling the situation, he could not help feeling secretly alarmed.

What terrifying perception was this? He could actually sense where the Ground Clan Invisibility Users would attack from and respond so perfectly. As for Long Haochen using Sun Fire, Sheng Lingxin was not surprised by that at all. If Long Haochen was Brother Long's child, what was Sun Fire worth?

Several thousand Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users had charged forward this time. Piercing sounds of metal collisions constantly erupted from the Radiant Angels Knight Order knights as they charged.

These Invisibility Users truly were troublesome. Like the assassins of the Assassin Temple, they specialized in striking at weaknesses, and they were incredibly fast. Even knights clad in plate armor were not without openings. Thus, the Radiant Angels Knight Order's charge immediately slowed somewhat. Cooperating with the Dark Night Assassins behind them, the knights could only rely on perception and judgment to fend off these Invisibility Users.

Sheng Lingxin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Something seems wrong. The demons had no way of knowing when we would charge out, so how could they have deployed Ground Clan Invisibility Users so quickly to intercept us? Could they have planned this in advance?"

At that thought, Sheng Lingxin felt his heart sink slightly. A bright ball of golden light suddenly flew from his hand as he urgently shouted to Long Haochen, "Circle out to the left and return to Demon Expelling Pass."

As a commander, although he could not be certain that his judgment was correct, the Radiant Angels Knight Order was the elite among the elite of Demon Expelling Pass. His goal on this mission had been to deal the enemy a piercing blow, slaughtering large numbers of demons while intimidating the demon army. At the same time, it would give the mages, priests, and warriors of Demon Expelling Pass time to catch their breath.

Yet the situation before them was clearly unfavorable. The Ground Clan Invisibility Users had appeared too quickly. They had only just charged into the demon army and had not inflicted much damage before these Invisibility Users slowed them down. The Radiant Angels Knight Order's greatest advantages were speed and impact. Once their speed dropped, their charge naturally weakened as well. There were at least several hundred thousand demon troops here. If they were surrounded and could not build up speed, then no matter how powerful these three thousand men were individually, even with the Dark Night Assassins, they would likely be left on this battlefield.

Therefore, Sheng Lingxin would rather be cautious than rashly continue charging forward. The night was too dark, and if the enemy had made preparations, they would be difficult to spot.

Long Haochen would never question Sheng Lingxin's orders. With his extraordinary perception and Sun Fire, it was difficult for the Invisibility Users to harm him.

Following his instructions, Haoyue swiftly raced toward the side. Because Sun Fire was such a conspicuous marker, the Radiant Angels Knight Order behind him easily found the target they needed to follow.

However, the number of Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users deployed by the demons had clearly exceeded even Sheng Lingxin's estimate. Though the Radiant Angels Knight Order had turned with Long Haochen, under the attacks of so many Invisibility Users, they were like men trapped in a mire, unable to break free. Their speed continued to fall.

Just then, accompanied by a low chant, Little Light suddenly threw back his head. A glowing sphere of illusory light shot backward.

The next moment, a wash of faint white light spread through the air, covering an area of at least several hundred square meters.

In midair, an eye formed from condensed white light shone brilliantly. Instantly, a great number of gray figures appeared below.

Eye of Truth? It was actually Eye of Truth?

While Sheng Lingxin was greatly startled, he could not help looking at Long Haochen's strange mount in a new light.

Haoyue's three heads had been continuously casting magic, coordinating with Long Haochen so flawlessly that they seemed like one person. Yet now it had even cast Eye of Truth, a skill only priests learned. How could that not be shocking?

In many situations, stronger skills did not necessarily have greater utility. Eye of Truth was only a third-rank spell, but using it under these circumstances was truly timely aid in a snowstorm!

The Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users were only around the Fourth Rank in strength, whereas the Radiant Angels Knight Order's knights were all Fifth Rank experts, fully equipped with fine gear and supported by the Dark Night Assassins. Once these Invisibility Users revealed themselves, it became a bloody massacre.

The Ground Clan Invisibility Users within the several hundred square meters were almost all reduced to mangled corpses in the very next instant. At least two hundred Radiant Angels Knights were freed as a result.

"Long Haochen, have your mount keep casting Eye of Truth. We'll slow down," Sheng Lingxin ordered decisively. Unless they dealt with these Invisibility Users, their retreat would be far too slow. The demon army had already charged toward them again.

"Yes." Long Haochen answered. Haoyue halted, and one Eye of Truth after another continuously spewed from Little Light's mouth, illuminating the rear. Countless Invisibility Users were trampled beneath the iron hooves of the Radiant Angels Knights, becoming part of the mud and blood.

The knights had originally been quite puzzled by Long Haochen and Haoyue serving as the vanguard at the very front, but they were now filled with relief. This was the commander's secret weapon! A mount that could cast Eye of Truth was simply too important to the Radiant Angels Knight Order. This was not the first time they had suffered at the hands of Di Mian Tribe Invisibility Users. Although Little Light could only cast Eye of Truth by itself, its casting speed was extremely fast, and the skill's coverage was already vast. Its presence alone was enough for the entire knight order.
