The Demon Suppression Guard's Excitement, I'll Kill You All Together!

Hearing the words of these squad leaders, Jiang Deyun felt greatly pleased inwardly.

Among this group, his strength was the highest.

Houtian Third Layer!

Moreover, Jiang Deyun's physical body was also quite formidable, coupled with his blade technique that could chill even demons.

If he encountered that Second Order Mid-stage demon, with the assistance of his subordinates, it wouldn't be impossible to hold his ground.

But if anyone else ran into it, that was another story!

These five squad leaders at the Houtian First Layer all regarded Jiang Deyun as their backbone in their words, holding him in high esteem.

If they truly met that terrifying demon, Without Jiang Deyun, they simply couldn't eradicate it.

Not only could they not kill it, but they might also lose their own lives in the process!

So by now, the other squad leaders had all taken Jiang Deyun as their leader, their attitudes quite respectful.

After speaking, those five squad leaders formed a team.

Then they cautiously headed toward another fork in the road.

Watching those five squad leaders leave, A flicker of sinister glee flashed in Jiang Deyun's eyes.

Next, only he and Lin Feng's team remained.

Turning his head to look at Lin Feng, Jiang Deyun's voice carried a suppressed, inexplicable excitement: "Let's go, Squad Leader Lin!"

Lin Feng's expression was calm as he walked steadily.

Behind Lin Feng, his men—including ordinary constables and some squad leaders—all wore expressions tinged with relief.

They were riding on Lin Feng's coattails, managing to be in a team with Jiang Deyun!

In this encirclement force, Jiang Deyun was the strongest.

With him around, if they encountered that Second Order demon, their survival rate was extremely high.

The group walked along the road.

The road was empty, with nothing but Demon Suppression Guards and some rotting, stinking corpses.

Other than that, there was no one else.

After walking for a while, Hu Biao, one of Lin Feng's subordinates, suddenly sensed something was off!

A chill rose from behind his back.

Lin Feng's team was at the front, while Jiang Deyun's team was at the very back.

The reason Hu Biao felt something was wrong was that he sensed a murderous intent so thick it had condensed into substance from behind.

He whirled around.

And found Jiang Deyun and his men staring coldly at them.

To be precise, they were staring at Lin Feng!

Lin Feng's expression remained indifferent, but his men were no longer calm.

Their faces all turned stunned.

None of them understood why Jiang Deyun and his men had such looks in their eyes.

It was as if they were enemies!

At this point, Hu Biao couldn't hold back first and said in a deep voice: "Squad Leader Jiang, what's going on? Has a demon appeared?"

After speaking, he warily glanced around.

Swish, swish, swish!

Jiang Deyun didn't respond.

But his men all drew the blades at their waists, cold light flashing.

Then those men surrounded Lin Feng and his group.

At this moment, Everyone except Lin Feng changed expressions drastically!

By now, even a fool understood what this meant.

They were going to be surrounded and killed!

But what was going on? What was the reason? Why were they doing this?

Did Jiang Deyun have some deep, irreconcilable grudge against Lin Feng, that he would directly resort to killing?

In an instant, Lin Feng's newly recruited subordinates all turned pale!

Hu Biao's eyelids twitched violently as he said, "Squad Leader Jiang, what is the meaning of this?!"

Jiang Deyun chuckled lightly and also drew his own blade.

"My apologies, everyone."

"I originally intended only to kill Lin Feng, but since you've chosen to serve under him, I'll have to kill you all as well."

Jiang Deyun's tone was casual.

Jiang Deyun's men had followed him for a long time and were trustworthy.

Even if he killed Lin Feng and the others, there was no fear of news leaking out.

However, Lin Feng's subordinates needed to be dealt with as well.

Otherwise, leaving survivors to spread the news would be bad.

Having just obtained the top spot in the Demon Suppression Division's assessment, if a promising Demon Suppression Guard was killed by him, even Captain Zhao wouldn't be able to protect him.

Upon hearing Jiang Deyun's words, everyone's expressions changed drastically!

A Demon Suppression Guard stammered, "Sir Jiang, what are you saying? Killing within the Demon Suppression Division is a serious offense!"

"Sir Jiang, can you spare this humble one? I'm willing to pay any price!"

"Squad Leader Jiang, I have no grievance with you!"

Jiang Deyun sneered, "You'll die at the hands of demons—what does that have to do with me?"

"And stop with the useless begging."

"Don't blame me. Blame Lin Feng."

For Jiang Deyun.

Killing Lin Feng was partly to resolve a personal grudge.

On the other hand, he also coveted the rewards Lin Feng had received for placing first in the assessment.

That was a full five hundred True Qi Pills!

Just thinking about it made a deep greed flash in Jiang Deyun's eyes.

No Martial Artist in the Houtian Realm could refuse five hundred True Qi Pills!

As for the bow, arrows, and armor on Lin Feng.

Those items, he couldn't wear himself.

But they could still fetch a good price.

In short, Jiang Deyun's motive for killing Lin Feng was half hatred, half greed!

The faces of Lin Feng's Demon Suppression Guards turned as pale as paper.

One by one, they became helpless.

After all, Jiang Deyun himself was at the Houtian Third Layer.

His group of subordinates also had the highest average strength.

At the very least, they were all at the Eighth Level of Body Tempering!

On Lin Feng's side, the average strength was far worse. The weakest was at the Fifth Level of Body Tempering, and the strongest was only at the Eighth Level of Body Tempering.

If a fight broke out, no one could escape.

Lin Feng's subordinates trembled, their faces filled with despair.

They had thought joining Jiang Deyun's squad would increase their chances of survival.

They never expected it to be a bottomless pit!

"Lin Feng."

At that moment, Jiang Deyun said in a cold tone, "Hand over the True Qi Pills and the armor you're wearing. I promise to give you a quick death."

Jiang Deyun was certain that Lin Feng was carrying such precious items as the True Qi Pills on him.

Lin Feng made no move, merely staring calmly at Jiang Deyun.

There was also a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

"Go ahead. I want to see just how big the gap is between me and a Houtian Third Layer Martial Artist!"

After the assessment, his strength had skyrocketed.

He was very eager to see how he measured up against a Houtian Realm Martial Artist.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin!"

"Do you really think that just because you beat me in the assessment with a specific advantage, you're stronger than me?"

"Today, I'll show you just how enormous the gap in combat strength between us really is!"

Jiang Deyun's face twisted savagely as he looked Lin Feng up and down.

He raised the blade in his hand.

In an instant, Jiang Deyun leaped.

Tracing a perfect arc through the air, like a fleeting afterimage hard to catch.

He flashed past and slashed fiercely at Lin Feng!

Jiang Deyun struck with ruthless decisiveness, the blade aimed straight for Lin Feng's waist.

Once this blow landed, he was sure Lin Feng would split in two, the cut perfectly even.

The reason he wanted to cut Lin Feng in half at the waist.

Was also to avoid damaging the second-tier armor.

That was a real treasure!
