Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon

"What do they look like?" Jiang Feng asked in a deep voice.

"They're larger than ordinary Twin-Blade Demons, and one of them is jade-green," Jiang Xinran said hurriedly.

"Jade-green-a Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon!" Jiang Feng reacted instantly and continued asking, "What about the other one?"

This time, Jiang Xinran's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "It's golden!"

"End the battle quickly," Jiang Feng shouted.

Jiang Feng never expected that Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demons and Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demons would appear in this border region.

You must know that among the entire Zelin Race of Twin-Blade Demons, the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon belonged to the royalty of the Zelin Race.

Almost out of every ten thousand ordinary Twin-Blade Demons, only one Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon could be born.

As for the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon, it was even rarer and could completely be said to be the chieftain of the Zelin Race.

The entire Zelin Race had a total population of over three million, yet there were no more than one hundred Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demons; one could imagine how low the probability of evolution was.

However, as the Demon Race's most populous and weakest clan, once a Zelin Race member evolved into a Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon, it also meant they possessed Sixth Order strength.

Among Jiang Feng's four-person team, only Jiang Feng was a Fifth Order Knight. Jiang Xinran and the other two were not nearly strong enough even to face a Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon, let alone a Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon.

Therefore, Jiang Feng's very first thought was to retreat.

Just as Jiang Feng was about to make a move to help Yang Zhan and Wang Zhen finish off the remaining five Twin-Blade Demons, a sudden wave of crisis washed over him, and he pulled Jiang Xinran into his embrace.

"Clang."

At the same time, a crisp sound rang out, and a tiny dent appeared on Jiang Feng's armor.

After blocking this strike with the armor's own defensive power, Jiang Feng turned around and raised the Knight Greatsword in his hand. Brilliant golden light bloomed, and the Fifth Order Knight skill Holy Sword was instantly activated.

With a single slash, clearly nothing could be seen, yet it solidly struck a physical body.

"Screech!"

A shrill, miserable scream arrived, a stream of ink-black blood spurted out, and a figure was sent flying out from the void.

It was also humanoid, with a thin and petite figure, each of its hands grasping a short, sharp blade. This was precisely a Di Ke Clan Invisibility Stalker, a Fourth Order member of the Demon Race.

Jiang Feng pressed his advantage. That previous sword strike had already severely injured it, and after adding another strike just now, he killed this Fourth Order member of the Demon Race.

Behind Jiang Feng, Jiang Xinran patted her chest with lingering fear. At that exact moment just now, she had felt the threat of death. If Jiang Feng hadn't discovered it in time, she probably would have had her throat slit by now.

At this time, Yang Zhan and Wang Zhen had already killed all the ordinary Twin-Blade Demons, and the four of them gathered together.

Jiang Feng said rapidly, "The three of you have finished your assessment. Return immediately to the Alliance Garrison."

"Jiang Feng, you aren't coming back with us?" Jiang Xinran asked.

"Yeah, my assessment isn't finished yet," Jiang Feng said.

"No," Jiang Xinran resolutely vetoed. "We still have time; you don't need to go face an enemy that you simply cannot defeat right now."

Those were a Sixth Order and a Fifth Order—enemies they couldn't possibly defeat at present.

"Rest assured, I'll just hide and won't act recklessly. Without a sure chance of winning, I won't make a move," Jiang Feng explained. "Even if we retreat now, it's too late to return to the Alliance Garrison. At their speed, we'll be caught once we run to the plain. You guys go first; I'll buy time for you. Don't worry, with the Inspector here, I'll be fine."

"Xinran, let's go first. This isn't our assessment," Yang Zhan also spoke up to persuade her. He understood that facing Fifth Order and Sixth Order members of the Demon Race, they simply didn't have the slightest hope.

Although they didn't understand why they had encountered Sixth Order members of the Demon Race the moment they arrived in the Demon Race's territory, they knew that their hunting mission was already complete and they had already obtained the qualification to participate in the Demon Hunt Squad assessment. There was simply no need to face even stronger enemies, because these enemies might cause them to lose the qualifications they had already obtained.

Finally, after Jiang Feng kindly persuaded them and promised that safety came above all else, Jiang Xinran, Yang Zhan, and Wang Zhen returned along the original path.

At this time, the figure of the blonde woman appeared, and she chuckled softly, "Child, have you thought through what you're doing? What you're about to face are a Fifth Order and a Sixth Order member of the Demon Race, and you're only Fifth Order."

"Rest assured, Inspector, I wouldn't joke with my life," Jiang Feng said with a faint smile. Afterwards, he climbed up a large tree, gazing into the distance at the approaching enemies.

"Hehe." The blonde woman smiled slightly, looking at Jiang Feng with rapt interest, and her figure concealed itself once more.

"Let me take a look at your background."

The blonde woman muttered to herself, her figure hidden within the void. A flash of white light lit up within her azure-blue beautiful eyes, the white light vanishing as quickly as it appeared.

"A fifteen-year-old Earth Knight, with Innate Spiritual Power as high as eighty points. Tsk tsk, not bad. Master's eye for talent is still pretty good," the blonde woman said, slightly surprised, and then her eyes lit up. "External spiritual power actually approaches three thousand."

The blonde woman didn't know what method she used, but she was actually able to see Jiang Feng's internal and external spiritual power, and even probe Jiang Feng's Innate Spiritual Power.

However, she quickly grew somewhat disappointed again.

"What a pity he isn't a God-Favored One."

Before long, Jiang Feng could already see two figures rapidly approaching in the distance.

The Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon was about two meters tall and three meters long, with thick and powerful limbs. Every time it kicked off the ground, its body could surge four or five zhang forward. Behind it was a pair of shell-like wings; although it couldn't fly, it allowed it to maintain balance in the process of running.

Its ferocious head resembled a lizard, but even wider, baring rows of sharp teeth.

The most savage part was its pair of forelimbs growing from the wing locations, fully one and a half meters long. They were extremely thick, with three sharp blades on each emitting a faint green glow, incomparably sharp and capable of easily cleaving a human body in two.

As for the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon, its body was even larger, covered all over with golden patterns. Similar in shape to the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon, its pair of forelimbs each possessed five sharp blades.

When Jiang Feng was still one hundred meters away from the two members of the Demon Race, he actually put the twin swords in his hands away into his Storage Ring, pulling out a longbow instead—precisely the equipment he had chosen on the top floor of the Administrative Hall earlier.

This bow came paired with a total of five feathered arrows, and every single feathered arrow could be considered Magic Level equipment. It could be said to be the most precious piece among all the available equipment options back then.

However, it was also because there were simply too few professionals who used bow and arrow, otherwise it wouldn't have reached Jiang Feng's hands.

Jiang Feng nocked an arrow on the bent bow, drawing it like a full moon. With a single arrow shot out, it actually burst forth with waves of sonic booms.

The feathered arrow hurtled rapidly across the air, instantly hitting the charging Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon.

Even though the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon possessed a tough shell, at this moment, this single feathered arrow still drove directly into its body, lodging tightly in the muscle.

The next moment, with a "bang" sound, the feathered arrow exploded instantly. The immense force even blasted the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon flying backward.
