Jiang Feng welcomed Long Haochen, who apologized for competing against him at the auction, and explained the requirements for advancing a Demon Hunt Squad.

Jiang Feng single-handedly defended Haoyue’s evolving cave from a massive undead army, defeating its lich commanders and fused skeletons while earning system coins. The skeletons scattered, but Jiang Feng knew greater threats would come before Haoyue’s evolution was complete.

As the two Demon Hunt Squads held off the endless zombie army, several members of Marshal Rank No. 64 revealed devastating spirit furnace abilities and gave everyone a chance to recover. The fighting resumed, and the General Grade No. 22 Demon Hunt Squad waited to see what Yao Li could do.

• Murong Ling'er devastated the zombies with Starfall, while Feng Li closed the Gate of Hell and used her Timefold Spirit Furnace to duplicate her Hell Three-Headed Dog and Dark Unicorn.

• Jiang Feng, Jiang Hao, and Shangguan Yan combined their attacks to destroy the Zombie Monarch, and Jiang Feng caught Shangguan Yan when she fell from the sky.

During a sparring match, Jiang Feng trapped Haoyue in Blackflame Prison and used the Spirit-Seizing Art to extract a purple rune from him, but Haoyue’s destructive power burst free and gravely wounded Jiang Feng. Ye Xiaolei helped Jiang Feng begin recovering as the Knight Trial Grounds administrator arrived to investigate.

• Long Haochen thanked Jiang Feng for helping him improve, then struggled to defend against Jiang Feng’s Star-Shattering Slash.
• Jiang Feng and Jiang Hao switched opponents, and Jiang Feng enclosed Haoyue inside Blackflame Prison, severing Haoyue’s connection with Long Haochen.
• Jiang Feng used the Spirit-Seizing Art to draw nine rays of purple light from Haoyue and form a rune, but Haoyue’s destructive energy shattered the prison and blasted through Jiang Feng’s chest.
• Jiang Hao and Long Haochen rushed to Jiang Feng while Haoyue collapsed into a deep sleep, and Murong Xian’er’s healing spells failed to stop the purple energy from eroding his wound.
• Shangguan Yan summoned Ye Xiaolei, who combined her life energy with Jiang Feng’s regeneration until the destructive energy faded and his condition improved.
• The Knight Trial Grounds administrator arrived as the Demon Hunt Squad members remained anxious over Jiang Feng’s condition.

He then brought the Marshal Rank No. 64 Demon Hunt Squad outside the Holy City for Shangguan Yan to use lightning to temper their bodies and speed their absorption of Body Tempering Pills.

• Jiang Feng explained that Haoyue was the God of Calamity and that the seventy-two demon god pillars had once been divine artifacts from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths God-Slaying Formation.
• Jiang Feng told Shangguan Yan that he had stripped Haoyue’s divine core, preventing Haoyue from recovering his former strength, and they agreed to keep the secret and avoid acting against him for now.
• Jiang Feng offered the Marshal Rank No. 64 Demon Hunt Squad a way to absorb their Body Tempering Pills faster, and the squad agreed to try it.
• Jiang Feng led the squad outside the Holy City, where Shangguan Yan summoned lightning and struck them to temper their bodies and help them absorb the pills.
• Jiang Feng endured a much stronger bolt of lightning on a peak, while Shangguan Yan continued the squad’s treatment and gave Feng Li weaker bolts because lightning countered his dark attribute.
