Hu Biao, with his Body Tempering Seventh Level cultivation, had survived this long in the Demon Suppression Guard for a reason.
Naturally, he possessed certain abilities.
For instance, his decisiveness in combat!
When bringing newcomers on missions, he had to bear the primary responsibility of attracting demons.
If it were up to the newcomers to confront them head-on, they'd be crushed in an instant.
To slay demons, stronger individuals had to hold them back while others seized the opportunity to surround and attack.
Of course, a sufficiently strong martial artist could slay a demon with a single strike.
But if one wasn't strong enough, these special tactics were necessary.
Hu Biao brandished his broadsword and swung it towards the Snake Demon.
Behind him, the Demon Suppression Guards at Body Tempering Fourth Level couldn't help but tremble.
In their time with the Demon Suppression Guard, they hadn't been without encounters with demons.
But those demons had already been subdued and posed no threat.
This Snake Demon before them was different!
Its form was bizarre, its face hideously ferocious, and its crimson eyes were incredibly piercing in the darkness of the night.
Just looking at it was enough to induce nightmares.
At this moment, one Demon Suppression Guard gritted his teeth and said, "Stop dawdling, let's go! Hurry up and kill this Snake Demon!"
"Quick, let's go together!"
"Kill!"
Finally, those Demon Suppression Guards wielding broadswords reacted.
They began to encircle the Snake Demon from both sides.
As for Lin Feng, the archer, he was ignored by them.
In reality, no one paid attention to an archer at Body Tempering Third Level.
Both Hu Biao and the other Demon Suppression Guards felt Lin Feng wouldn't be of much use.
At this moment.
Hu Biao had already reached the Snake Demon.
He raised his Broadsword and swung it heavily towards the Snake Demon, incredibly fast!
But strangely, the Snake Demon didn't even dodge.
It stood still, its eyes coldly fixed on Hu Biao.
In that instant, Hu Biao's heart jolted, What's going on?
This Snake Demon isn't afraid of death?
Or perhaps, this is a very low-level demon, with very low intelligence?
A mere First-Order Demon, it couldn't possibly withstand my strike, so the Snake Demon is surely dead!
Looking at it this way, maybe I don't even need the other newcomers to act, I can take down this Snake Demon myself.
However, a sudden change occurred.
The Broadsword struck the Snake Demon's neck heavily.
Hu Biao put his all into this strike, holding nothing back.
Under normal circumstances, any First-Order Demon, struck on the neck by his full-power blow, would almost certainly die.
Its body would be cleaved in two!
But...
The current Snake Demon's head was still attached!
Terror appeared on Hu Biao's face!
He saw the Broadsword's blade stop on the Snake Demon's skin surface, unable to lop off its head at all!
Hu Biao looked closely and found that the Broadsword had only left an indentation on the Snake Demon...
In that instant, fear surged from his heart!
He was Body Tempering Seventh Level, and his full-power strike only left an indentation on the Snake Demon?!
There was no damage at all!
"Not good!"
Hu Biao was greatly alarmed and was just about to withdraw his sword when the Snake Demon moved.
A snake tail, as thick as a bucket, appeared from nowhere.
In the dark night, it was even harder to see clearly.
In an instant, the snake tail whipped towards Hu Biao.
The speed was so fast that Hu Biao only saw a blur of afterimages.
Then, a wave of intense pain washed over his body.
Bang!!
Hu Biao was sent flying by the snake tail, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground, feeling as if his internal organs were about to burst out.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Lying on the ground, Hu Biao realized several of his ribs had been broken by the Snake Demon's tail!
He looked at the Snake Demon with terror in his eyes and said with a trembling voice, "Quick, run! This Snake Demon isn't First-Order, it's a Second-Order Demon!"
"Hurry and report back, you are no match for it!"
Only a Second-Order Demon could withstand his broadsword strike.
He never expected the intelligence to be wrong!
A Second-Order Demon was comparable to a Houtian Realm martial artist!
How could he, a mere Body Tempering Seventh Level, possibly kill this Snake Demon?
It was even more impossible for the other Demon Suppression Guards at Body Tempering Fourth Level, or even Third Level!
The Demon Suppression Guards on either side of the Snake Demon froze in place after seeing Hu Biao sent flying.
Their bodies stiffened, and the hands holding their broadswords trembled uncontrollably!
It had so easily killed Hu Biao, who was at Body Tempering Seventh Level?!
At the same time, the Demon Suppression Guards also heard Hu Biao's words, and their hearts trembled even more.
It was actually a Second-Order Demon!
"Run!"
"Damn it, how could it be a Second-Order Demon?! The intel was wrong!"
"Run, hurry and run!!"
The four new Demon Suppression Guards fled backward in sheer terror.
They had even thrown their broadswords directly onto the ground.
The broadsword was quite heavy, and carrying it would only delay his escape.
They knew very well that to survive, they didn't need to outrun the Snake Demon, but to outrun the others!
At this moment, the Snake Demon's scarlet eyes turned towards the four fleeing figures.
Its forked tongue hissed out, and the next moment it charged forward like lightning.
At this time, Hu Biao, lying on the ground and unable to move, looked utterly dejected.
He couldn't even stand up; he was surely going to die.
He wondered how many of the Demon Suppression Guards would manage to escape?
Just then, Hu Biao's gaze suddenly froze.
Because he noticed a Demon Suppression Guard on the side who wasn't running.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the person with the lowest cultivation in the group.
Lin Feng, at Body Tempering Triple Layer.
"What is this kid doing? Not running, but staying put?!"
Hu Biao was stunned. The next moment, he saw Lin Feng nock an arrow onto his bow, seemingly aiming at the Snake Demon.
"Is he crazy!"
Hu Biao's eyes widened when he saw this.
Has this kid lost his mind? To be so brave?
That was a Second-Order Demon, and he, an Archer at Body Tempering Triple Layer, actually wanted to shoot it?
That's not how you even dream!
On the other side, the Snake Demon, being a Second-Order Demon, was extremely fast, far beyond what those new Demon Suppression Guards could match.
In an instant, its tail struck out, producing several thunderous sounds in the dark night.
Afterward, the legs of the four Demon Suppression Guards were all broken. With continuous screams, they all lost the ability to flee.
The Snake Demon approached the Demon Suppression Guards, seemingly intending to feed.
Just then.
Lin Feng, who had been waiting for an opportunity to strike from the side, felt a jolt in his heart!
This was the moment he had been waiting for!
When he saw the Snake Demon send Hu Biao flying with one blow, Lin Feng knew this Snake Demon wouldn't be easy to deal with.
If he were to openly shoot arrows at it, even if he hit, it wouldn't be easy to inflict damage.
After all, Lin Feng's cultivation realm was too low, only Body Tempering Triple Layer!
Therefore, he had to shoot arrows at the Snake Demon when it was off guard.
Now was the perfect time!
Lin Feng had been in a state of drawing his bow and nocking an arrow. Seeing his opportunity arrive.
Instantly, he drew the bowstring to its fullest. His gaze was like lightning in the dark night, fixed intently on the Snake Demon's legs.
No matter what, he had to cripple the Snake Demon's mobility first.
Then, he would find a way to slowly shoot it to death!
The next moment.
A whistling sound of air being broken through erupted rapidly.
The arrow shot out like lightning!
The Snake Demon had already opened its gaping maw, intending to devour a Demon Suppression Guard.
The sudden whistling sound alerted the sensitive Snake Demon, and it instantly turned around.
However--
Lin Feng's arrow was incredibly fast, practically like lightning!
The moment the Snake Demon turned its head, the arrow had already precisely hit the Snake Demon's right leg.
With a boom, the Snake Demon's right leg exploded from the high-speed spinning arrow!
