Taking Advantage of the Fire to Rob
Lu Feng then looked at the others. Su Qiaoqiao was fighting two first-tier wolf demons alone. Although she was handling them with ease, she couldn't spare any hands to kill the enemy.
Of all the people, only Lin Miao had the upper hand.
In just a few moves, Lin Miao slew the wolf demon with a single sword strike, then turned to help Su Qiaoqiao.
The two of them worked together and quickly killed both wolf demons.
Su Qiaoqiao glanced at the battlefield. Although Sun Xiaomei and the other two were at a disadvantage, the monsters had not been able to harm them in the slightest.
In contrast, Chen Hu already had several wounds on his body.
"How about... we go help Lord Chen first? He's injured!" Su Qiaoqiao whispered to Lin Miao.
"Have you forgotten the captain's instructions? We were told to help Sun Xiaomei and the others first, and then help him last."
"But..."
"There's no 'buts'." Lin Miao gestured towards Lu Feng with her chin. "You forgot, the lord is right here. If anything were to happen to the captain, wouldn't the lord intervene?"
Su Qiaoqiao was relieved, and the two of them rushed to support Sun Xiaomei and the other two.
Before long, all three first-tier wolf demons were killed.
The five men, leaning on their weapons, were panting heavily; they had exhausted most of their strength.
"Let's go help the captain!"
As Lin Miao finished speaking, the group all looked towards another battlefield.
Several new wounds appeared on Chen Hu's body, and his tiger's mouth was even cracked from the impact.
"What's going on? Lord Chen is fighting a second-tier wolf demon all by himself, why isn't Lord Lu helping him?" Sun Xiaomei muttered softly, looking at Lu Feng who hadn't moved an inch.
"I thought he was here to lead us in killing monsters, but it turns out he's just here to watch us die and then scramble for the credit!" Zhou Hong whispered.
"Zhou Hong, keep your voice down! If you and I hear this, we'll both be in trouble!" Sun Xiaomei nudged her with her elbow.
"Let's take care of the second-tier wolf demon for the captain first!" Su Qiaoqiao said, and rushed forward first. Seeing this, the others also joined the battle.
With five people keeping them at bay, the second-tier wolf demon quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Just then, Lu Feng suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
A moment later, a black figure darted over and killed the second-tier wolf demon with a single sword strike!
"Thank you for your help, colleague! I am Chen Hu, Demon Slayer of the Commandant Su's Office. May I ask who you are...?"
The newcomer was rather thin and also dressed in the attire of a demon slayer. Upon seeing this, Chen Hu quickly cupped his hands in thanks.
"Look at them! They call themselves 'one of us,' but they're not even as good as an outsider! An outsider would know to help without hesitation!" Zhou Hong said sarcastically in a low voice.
"Shut up! What do you know? The adults have their reasons for doing this!" Lin Miao heard this clearly this time and immediately retorted.
Upon hearing this, the three immediately lowered their heads and dared not utter another word.
The black-clad figure smiled slightly.
"We're all colleagues, no need to be so polite. Be extra careful next time you encounter a second-tier demonic beast."
After saying that, he walked straight to the corpse of the second-tier wolf demon, and with a flick of his wrist, put the entire corpse into his storage bag.
"What do you mean by this?" Chen Hu's face darkened, and he stepped forward.
"Oh! I thought you were kindly helping us kill the second-tier wolf demon, but it turns out you're just here to steal our merits!"
Lin Miao also realized that what the other party was doing was not helping, but clearly taking advantage of her misfortune!
You can't say that."
The black figure slowly and deliberately dusted off his sleeves.
"If I hadn't intervened, you might already be dead under the claws of this second-tier wolf demon."
"I saved your lives, all I did was take away a monster's corpse. What, do you all think I went too far?"
"Who needs your help! Even without you, we could kill him in no time!" Lin Miao roared in fury.
"Oh? So you're planning to take back this corpse?"
"What do you mean by 'steal'? This was our prey to begin with!"
"Very well! I was originally planning to leave the corpses of these six first-tier wolf demons to you, but now it seems there's no need for that."
"Men! Collect all the corpses here!" The black-clad figure waved to the six demon-slaying guards behind him.
Upon hearing this, the six people immediately stepped forward.
Just then, a calm voice rang out:
"Which captain's office are you from? What's your name?"
The leader then noticed Lu Feng standing to the side. Seeing that the other was also dressed in the attire of a demon slayer, he raised his hand to stop his subordinates.
He was so focused on Chen Hu and his group that he didn't notice there was someone else standing next to him.
A demon slayer must possess at least Nei Jin cultivation to assume the role. Considering that the opposing side had two Nei Jin martial artists, the leader hesitated.
"I'm asking you, which commandant's office are you from, and what's your name?" Lu Feng asked again.
"Heh, I almost fooled you just now. You managed to beat a second-tier demonic beast into this state, how strong can you possibly be?"
"Move..."
Before he could even utter the last word, Lu Feng casually waved his hand.
"Bang!"
As if struck by an invisible giant hand, the seven people were sent flying several meters away!
"Puff!"
The group landed and simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Run!" The leader's expression changed drastically—the cultivation level of the person in front of him was definitely more than just Nei Jin!
The seven people scrambled and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"They ran away! The second-tier demonic beast is still in that person's storage bag!" Lin Miao stomped her feet angrily as she stared in the direction they fled.
"It's alright. When you get back, tell Xiaolian about this, and she will stand up for you."
"You've all exhausted yourselves and shouldn't linger any longer. Head back now. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."
After saying that, Lu Feng took out two bottles of pills from his pocket, handed them to Chen Hu, and then leaped up and flew towards the Precipice Peak.
"Look quickly, what wonderful thing the adults gave us!"
As soon as Lu Feng left, Lin Miao immediately went up to Chen Hu.
"They are Jin Recovery Pill and Healing Pill!"
"Captain, shouldn't we get some?"
Chen Hu poured out the pills and distributed them as instructed.
"One Healing Pill and one Jin Recovery Pill for each person."
"Alright!" Lin Miao put away the pills, then turned around and saw that Sun Xiaomei and the other two were still standing there, stunned and unresponsive.
Only then did they realize that the three of them were standing there with their mouths agape, still reeling from the shock.
What are you thinking about?
Lin Miao waved to the three of them, and they snapped out of their daze.
"Lord Lu... what exactly is his cultivation level?" Sun Xiaomei asked blankly. Although the three of them had come to their senses, their faces were still full of disbelief.
"I don't know! Anyway... it's amazing!" Lin Miao said matter-of-factly.
"Does Lord Lu know the Captain?"
Sun Xiaomei and her two companions had only recently joined Commandant Su's mansion, and all they knew was that Xiaolian was now the head of the mansion.
"Of course we know each other! Our relationship is..."
"Lin Miao, don't talk nonsense!" Su Qiaoqiao immediately reminded her.
"Well, we know each other, but I don't know what our relationship is like." Lin Miao shrugged.
The three of them refused to believe her, no matter what. Their minds were already racing with speculation about the relationship between Lu Feng and Xiaolian.
"Let's go back first and report today's events to the captain!"
Upon hearing Chen Hu's words, everyone immediately set off, flying towards the Demon-Slaying Bureau.
