Upper Greater Demon

When Gong Qian woke up, she had indeed wanted to go provide support, but the moment she sat up, she realized she had no feeling at all in her lower body.

That was precisely why she obediently accepted Zhang Shou's treatment.

Otherwise, she would have already run off to beat up Deimos.

Just as the three of them were at a loss, Gong Qian's phone rang.

Gong Qian answered immediately and said, "Minister!"

"Little Yi, are you all right?" Yu Lie asked with immediate concern from the other end of the line.

Gong Qian quickly replied, "I'm fine. I'm receiving treatment now, and I'll be able to move again soon."

"Good, good, good. Then focus on your treatment. Reinforcements will be there soon," Yu Lie reassured her.

Gong Qian asked, "Minister, what exactly is that monster?"

Although she knew Zhou Tai possessed a special ability to unlock the potential of extraordinary creatures, that monster was simply too powerful.

"That is Deimos, an Upper Greater Demon from the Abyss. It is Upper Dragon Level. If it hadn't been summoned here and you encountered it in the Abyss instead, most Dragon Levels would not be its match. It seems an outside force has intervened this time," Yu Lie answered.

Yu Xian and the other two were all shocked after hearing this. Until just now, they had thought it was Zhou Tai. Only now did they realize that their enemy had long since ceased to be Zhou Tai—it was Deimos.

"Damn it!" Gong Qian clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Her father had been killed by outside forces. As the family of a martyr, she had received a drop of Pangu's Blood.

Therefore, what she hated most were those foreign forces infiltrating the country. The Sin-Eradicating Squad had also struck most often at the lapdogs cultivated by those forces.

"All right, rest easy. It's good that you're fine," Yu Lie instructed.

After hanging up, Gong Qian put away her phone. Frustrated and stifled, she punched the ground. The earth immediately shook, and a pebble flew past Zhang Shou's cheek, instantly leaving a bloody gash.

Gong Qian came to her senses and hurriedly apologized again and again. Zhang Shou wiped the blood from his face, swallowed, and forced a smile. "It's all right. I'm thick-skinned. A little injury like this is nothing."

Whoever married this woman in the future—if he accidentally took a hit while sleeping, wouldn't he be meeting his great-grandmother in minutes?

Hiss.

Can't afford to provoke her. Can't afford to provoke her.

Meanwhile, Tianxuan carried Mo Ye on her back and held Jin Sheng and Gan Jiang in either hand as she rushed toward the outskirts.

She was burning with anxiety. The longer she delayed, the worse the backlash Tianshu would suffer. She had to find a doctor and settle the three of them as quickly as possible, then return to the team.

Although Gan Jiang and Mo Ye appeared to be more seriously injured, Jin Sheng's injuries were actually worse.

This was mainly because Jin Sheng's power was utterly incompatible with Deimos's demonic power. When Deimos lifted the golden lion Jin Sheng had transformed into, demonic power pierced into Jin Sheng's body like lightning. That was why Jin Sheng had been severely wounded in a single blow.

Tianxuan swiftly went up and down the mountain. Suddenly, she spotted a middle-aged man in a military uniform walking toward her.

"Uncle!" Tianxuan's eyes lit up as she called out.

Jin Dajun stepped forward, glanced at Jin Sheng in Tianxuan's hand, and smiled. "Looks like this brat took a major loss this time. Tianxuan, take them for treatment first. I'll go meet that Greater Demon from the Abyss."

Although he was only Upper Tiger Rank, this was Earth. Even if he could not defeat Deimos, he could still stall for time.

Qilin Headquarters had a very simple plan: have him delay for as long as possible. Once noon came tomorrow, Zhao Yi would be teleported over again.

Moreover, several other generals would be teleported over this time as well, and they would join forces to kill Deimos!

This was an excellent opportunity to kill an Abyssal Greater Demon. Once Deimos was slain, every part of its body would be a treasure. It could probably be used to forge quite a few Dragon Level pieces of equipment, and its blood could be used for all kinds of research, perhaps even to develop new extraordinary systems.

Jin Dajun bid Tianxuan farewell and continued forward.

He twisted his neck, producing a crisp crack, then clenched his fists.

Although he looked calm and unconcerned, as if he did not feel sorry for his son, the fury in his heart had already begun to blaze.

"Deimos, heh heh."

Jin Dajun gave a low chuckle, removed his military uniform, and stored it in his ring.

He then took off his shirt and put it away, revealing his heavily muscled upper body. His skin gradually turned red, his hair ignited, and golden light shone from his eyes.

Blazing Vajra Art!

This was a body-tempering technique. Once cultivated to mastery, it made the entire body indestructible, immune to all poisons, resistant to water and fire, and possessed of immense strength.

Not only had Jin Dajun cultivated it to mastery, he had also consumed Pangu's Blood to enhance himself, raising its power to an even greater level. He pushed off with his feet, transforming into a streak of red light as he rapidly approached the battlefield.

On the battlefield ahead.

Although Deimos could not move, Number Nine Zhou Tai standing on its shoulder still could. However, one of his feet happened to be entangled by a golden thread, and he was unable to pull it free for the moment.

He kept yanking with all his strength, but no matter how much force he used, he could not pull out his foot.

After struggling for quite some time, he stopped struggling altogether. Taking out the knife he had used to cut open his wrist, he decisively chopped off his own foot.

"Useless. I still have to do it myself in the end."

Number Nine Zhou Tai first sneered at Deimos, then rapidly slid down Deimos's back to the ground.

He landed on one foot and turned to look at Tianshu and the others. The members of the Monster-Slaying Squad also noticed Number Nine Zhou Tai. Many of their faces changed slightly as they realized things were bad.

They were already giving everything they had just to restrain Deimos. Tianshu had even begun burning his vital essence.

They could not move now. If anyone cut off their supply of spiritual power, Deimos would break free in moments. But if they did not cut it off, they could not move, leaving them like lambs for the slaughter before Number Nine Zhou Tai.

"Fear me. Tremble. Who should I kill first?" Number Nine Zhou Tai limped toward them and said sinisterly.

Tianshu did not even look at Number Nine Zhou Tai. At that moment, he said, "Tianji, Tianquan, burn your vital essence. Yuheng, go deal with him."

"Yes, Captain!" Tianji and Tianquan answered in unison, their eyes turning fierce.

The moment Number Nine Zhou Tai heard this, he charged forward and roared, "You won't get your way! Die obediently!"

Tianji and Tianquan's expressions changed. Burning vital essence also required time.

They were done for.

Watching Number Nine Zhou Tai draw ever closer, the Monster-Slaying Squad members began to despair.

At that moment, a streak of red light flew in from afar like a meteor. Madness appeared on Number Nine Zhou Tai's face as the muscles in his arm bulged. He prepared to stab Tianshu to death first.

But in the next second, he felt tremendous heat coming from behind him. He had barely turned his head when the red light flared, and he was instantly crushed to death by enormous pressure.

Boom!

Jin Dajun landed on the ground with one foot planted on Number Nine Zhou Tai's mangled body. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, good, good. I wasn't too late after all. Hurry up and withdraw. Leave this place to me from here on out."

"Yes, sir!"

The Monster-Slaying Squad members all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately carried Tianshu away at a run.

The moment they fled, the golden threads around Deimos snapped one after another, and Deimos immediately let out a roar.
