Shouldn't we be the ones trembling?

"Clang——!"

In the abandoned factory, the sound of metal clashing was extremely abrupt, shattering the silence.

Sparks burst like fireworks, illuminating Lei Hao's face as he wielded his greatsword, as well as the figure of a monster pouncing on him from above.

"Haaahhh!"

The veins on Lei Hao's forehead bulged, and the muscles in his arms strained as he desperately mustered all his strength, roaring as he deflected the monster's attack. Its scythe-like forelimbs crashed against his hastily raised greatsword.

"Chirp!"

The monster was knocked directly into the ceiling, where it seemed to stick, letting out a fierce screech.

Upon closer inspection, the monster's entire body seemed to be forged from steel, with a cold metallic sheen. Its limbs were all blades, making it look like a killing machine manufactured with some kind of black technology.

However, despite the mechanical appearance, the monster's entire mouth was stained red.

The color of blood.

It told everyone that this monster was not a machine that didn't need to feed, but a genuine Phantasmal Demon that needed a large amount of flesh and blood to replenish its nutrition and increase its power.

This was Su Ming and the others' target this time—the Blade Fiend.

Having entered the abandoned factory for about ten minutes, Su Ming and the others were successfully targeted by their objective, luring it out.

"Chirp!"

The Phantasmal Demon, covered in blades, screeched sharply, then shot down from the ceiling like a bullet, hurtling towards Lei Hao.

Its speed was astonishing.

"Come on!"

Lei Hao showed no fear, instead roaring again, advancing instead of retreating.

"Clang——!"

The greatsword and the blades collided, and the sparks reappeared, officially kicking off the fierce battle between humans and Phantasmal Demon.

Lei Hao took the lead, standing at the forefront, wielding his heavy greatsword like a whirlwind, constantly attacking the Blade Fiend, filling the air with the sound of rushing wind and clashing metal.

In this situation, the rest of the team naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch.

"I'm coming!"

Jiang Wanyu called out sweetly, her hands now gripping a pair of sharp daggers. She transformed into a gust of wind, rushing towards the Blade Fiend.

"I-I'm going too!"

Yao Beibei's voice was filled with nervousness, but the petite girl was wielding a pair of huge iron hammers, displaying terrifying strength as she effortlessly lifted them and charged towards the Blade Fiend.

These two junior sisters seemed to be in excellent physical condition. Although their inexperience was obvious, their physical abilities were not weak at all.

Yao Beibei's monstrous strength was shocking, and Jiang Wanyu's speed was eye-catching.

"Hey-yah!"

Jiang Wanyu rapidly advanced to the Blade Fiend's side, her daggers like venomous snakes, piercing towards the enemy with a sharp whistling sound.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, Jiang Wanyu's daggers struck the Blade Fiend, only to produce a burst of dazzling sparks.

"Chirp!"

The Blade Fiend, in the midst of its fierce battle with Lei Hao, noticed the attack and immediately turned its head, hissing at Jiang Wanyu.

Its ferocious appearance, with its mouth still stained with blood, greatly shocked Jiang Wanyu, causing her movements to freeze.

"Chirp!"

The Blade Fiend immediately seized the opportunity, its blades transforming into the scythe of the Grim Reaper, slashing towards Jiang Wanyu's head with a cold glint.

"Don't even think about it!"

Lei Hao roared, twisting his greatsword and swinging it with tremendous force, cleaving through the air and heavily striking the Blade Fiend.

"Clang!"

As if striking a golden bell, Lei Hao's greatsword landed on the Blade Fiend, immediately creating a deafening sound.

The Blade Fiend was sent flying by the powerful blow, crashing into the factory wall with sparks flying, shattering the wall.

"Be careful!"

Lei Hao, having landed a successful hit, didn't press the attack. Instead, he stood in front of Jiang Wanyu, shouting without turning his head.

At this moment, Lei Hao was completely devoid of his usual carefree attitude, replaced by the solemn and stern atmosphere of a warrior.

"I-I'm sorry!"

Jiang Wanyu knew it was her fault, and she had almost lost her life. The girl's hands, gripping her weapons, trembled slightly in belated realization.

"Wanyu!"

Yao Beibei, who had already charged forward, looked at Jiang Wanyu with concern.

But this was not the time to be distracted.

"Yao Beibei! Up ahead!"

"It's coming!"

Su Ming and Ye Bai's shouts came one after the other.

"...!?"

Yao Beibei shuddered, the warning bells in her heart ringing wildly.

"Ya!"

Without thinking, Yao Beibei almost instinctively raised the heavy hammer in her hand, slamming it forward amidst a sonic boom.

There, the Blade Fiend had already pounced, meeting Yao Beibei's heavy hammer head-on.

The Blade Fiend showed no fear, instead relying on its steel-like body to charge forward.

In its simple mind, it probably thought that this seemingly delicate human girl couldn't possibly hurt it, right?

Not only the Blade Fiend, but even Su Ming and the others couldn't help but subconsciously think the same.

Until, the next second...

"Boom!"

When Yao Beibei's heavy hammer slammed into the Blade Fiend, a thunderous roar resounded.

Terrifying power erupted from Yao Beibei's heavy hammer, not only creating a shockwave but also shattering the ground beneath Yao Beibei's feet.

The Blade Fiend, taking the brunt of such a powerful blow, was sent flying backward.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Amidst a series of explosions, the Blade Fiend smashed through pillar after pillar, finally crashing into a rusty large machine, shattering the iron barrels on the machine.

"Holy crap!"

Such an eye-popping scene caused Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai to curse involuntarily.

"Waa... so scary..."

The culprit of all this, however, seemed to be greatly frightened, trembling all over.

Shouldn't we be the ones trembling?

Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai felt their scalps tingle.

An Zijin, on the other hand, had a smile on her face, as if she had known this would happen.

"As expected of Monster Strength Beibei, I probably couldn't do something like that in my entire life."

Even Jiang Wanyu recovered from her lingering fear and was speechless at the sight.

"Chirp!"

In contrast, the Blade Fiend was completely enraged.

While splitting open the iron barrels, it roared repeatedly, cracks appearing on its steel-like body, seeping out wisps of blood.

Yao Beibei's heavy blow had clearly worked, injuring it.

However, upon seeing this scene, the crowd not only didn't feel delighted but instead felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Because the wounds on the Blade Fiend's body were healing at a visible rate, healing most of the cracks in the blink of an eye.

"Hey! Aren't you sorcerers going to attack?" Lei Hao shouted, "Only your Spiritual Arts can inflict wounds that these Phantasmal Demons can't heal, stop slacking off!"

Without the sorcerers' Spiritual Arts, it was indeed very difficult to deal with Phantasmal Demons with regenerative abilities.

This was also the disadvantage of hunters. Although they gained power by plundering the blood of Phantasmal Demons, they didn't have the ability of sorcerers' Spiritual Arts to specifically counter Phantasmal Demons. Without the assistance of sorcerers, it was very difficult to completely subjugate a Phantasmal Demon.

Therefore, when facing Phantasmal Demons, teaming up with sorcerers was the number one choice for all hunters.

A pure hunter team would be fine against humans, but against Phantasmal Demons, it would be too disadvantageous and too time-consuming.

A low-efficiency subjugation was like wasting life for professionals. Therefore, even the smallest teams had to be equipped with a sorcerer.

Now that the three hunters had already subtly suppressed the Blade Fiend, it was time for the sorcerers' ultimate moves to come into play.

"Little Zijin, you and I will prepare the attack together." Su Ming decisively said, "Ye Bai, you grab it, don't let it run away."

As he spoke, Su Ming raised his hand, causing three circular arrays to emerge from his wrist.

"Watch me!"

Ye Bai also raised his hand, causing a circular array to emerge.

"Got it! Brother Su Ming!"

An Zijin took a deep breath, raising her hands with unwavering determination, clasping them together.

The circular arrays emerging from this goddess-like junior's hands were two in number, very conspicuous.

Thus, the sorcerers' Spiritual Arts erupted.

"Seventh Style: Ash Shackles."

Ye Bai's binding technique was the first to be released, causing black ash to drift in from all directions like the wind, surrounding the Blade Fiend.

"Chirp!"

The Blade Fiend sensed the danger and roared with a near-frenzied rage, its blades slashing repeatedly, only to spark against the wall of black ash, unable to break free.

"Thirteenth Style: Roaring Cannon."

An Zijin's Spiritual Art was ready, and seeing the Blade Fiend trapped, she released it immediately.

Instantly, scorching heat appeared.

Streaks of electricity gathered like snakes from the void, converging in An Zijin's palm, transforming into a blast of ionized energy that slammed directly into the Blade Fiend.

"Boom!"

The electric cannonball struck the Blade Fiend head-on, blasting away the black ash wall and the Fiend itself, causing it to spray blood as it crashed to the ground, crackling with arcs of electricity and screaming in agony.

"Twenty-First Style: Earth Net Punishment."

Just then, Su Ming's final killing move arrived.

As the three circular arrays on Su Ming's wrist glowed, the ground beneath the Blade Fiend shifted.

"Thump!"

A sharp spike suddenly erupted, piercing the Blade Fiend's body.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"

Spike after spike burst from the ground in rapid succession, each one impaling the Blade Fiend's body, skewering it like a kebab.

The Blade Fiend's steel-like body was as fragile as paper before these spikes.

And this was undoubtedly the killing blow.

"Chirp..."

The Blade Fiend's body twitched on the spikes, then went limp after a few seconds, as if it had lost all strength.

Blood flowed down the spikes from its body, gradually staining the ground red.

"W-we won?"

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei didn't seem to have quite grasped it yet.

"Good, it's taken care of."

Lei Hao and Ye Bai, however, had faith in the power of Su Ming's technique, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"So amazing! Su Ming, gege!"

An Zijin's eyes were already sparkling as she looked at Su Ming.

But Su Ming showed no sign of joy.

"It seems we need to do a review, *xue mei*s."

Su Ming looked at the three girls.

The girls lowered their heads as if ashamed.
