Ten minutes earlier, in the wilderness, [N O V E L I G H T] a Gate of Void opened, and a figure stepped out.Click, click—with a series of dense bone cracks, Qin Tian’s body stretched, and the face that belonged to the adjutant receded like a tide, returning to his original appearance.As for Yan Song’s real adjutant, he had already been silently dealt with, his body thrown into the shadowy space.Through Soul Devouring Art, he had extracted Yan Song’s habit from the adjutant’s memory—he always drank red daisy tea before important meetings.This seemingly insignificant detail became the key to his breakthrough.At this moment, the tea mixed with “Spirit-Locking Powder” should be taking effect within Yan Song’s body.This poison was not fatal, but it could entangle the spiritual meridians like invisible chains, leaving a Spiritual Energy User feeling weak all over.Even a Sixth-Order Golden Bloodline would have to endure a few minutes of weakness—and this brief window of time was enough for him to do what he wanted.Qin Tian raised a hand to his chest, and the next moment, black scales emerged from beneath his skin, instantly covering his limbs and torso, a long tail with bone spurs extended from the base of his spine, two bursts of black mist erupted from his shoulder blades, and a pair of huge wings, gleaming with metallic luster, tore through his body, the tip of each feather glinting with a cold light.His face twisted and deformed, fangs pierced his lips, and violent demonic energy surged in his eerie green vertical pupils, transforming him into the appearance of a Silverwing Demon.The surrounding air suddenly became thick, and dense demonic energy swirled around him like ink, kicking up sand and stones everywhere; low-level demons lurking nearby, sensing this terrifying aura, immediately fell into extreme panic and fled in all directions.Qin Tian flapped his wings, his body slowly ascending; he did not immediately rush towards his target, but instead flew in circles in the air.The frequency of his wing beats grew faster and faster, forming a black whirlwind, and the surrounding sand and stones were sucked into it, creating an ever-expanding sandstorm.His speed continuously increased as he circled, the sound of the wind escalating from a howl to a sharp whistle, followed by continuous sonic booms, like dull thunder echoing across the wilderness.With each revolution, the demonic energy around him intensified, and his aura climbed a notch, as if he was gathering all the power of this world onto himself.The land below was torn to shreds by the air currents, and nearby demons had long since fled without a trace.Charge Accumulation.This was a purple talent he had acquired from the Silverwing Demon; this time, he intended to eliminate Regiment Commander Yan as a Silverwing Demon, in full view of everyone.And “Qin Tian,” who was transformed by Li Qi, was currently sitting next to Regiment Commander Yan, which would perfectly clear his own suspicions.Whoosh~ Whoosh~His speed increased rapidly during flight; Charge Accumulation could boost his speed by 250%, Demon King Wings by 500%, and Hunting Mark by 70%; with the Overlay of these three talents, his speed was unbelievably fast, and the demonic energy around him transformed into a black storm.When the Charge Accumulation was complete, Qin Tian’s thought moved, and a Gate of Void opened before him; without the slightest hesitation, he charged directly into the Gate of Void.The humming of spatial travel came from within the gate, and the next second, the Gate of Void opened in the wilderness dozens of kilometers away from the Crimson Gold Battle Group headquarters, and Qin Tian’s figure shot out from it.He lowered his head slightly, his vertical pupils locking onto the distant direction of the camp, and his wings suddenly flapped faster.Whoosh—the wind tore at his ears, a series of sonic boom clouds were created in the air along his path, the demonic energy around him compressed into a sharp cone by the airflow, and his entire being transformed into a meteor trailing a black tail flame, carrying an earth-shattering aura, hurtling towards the Crimson Gold Battle Group’s camp.“What is that?!”The sentry on the watchtower had just opened his mouth to shout when his pupils were completely filled by the inky black demonic energy surging from the horizon. It wasn’t a gradual spread, but rather like a breached black sea, pressing down with an earth-shattering momentum—the soldiers didn’t even manage to clearly see the figure enveloped in the demonic energy; their fingertips had just touched their weapon handles when they were knocked to the ground by an invisible wave of air.“Quick—” The messenger’s shout caught in his throat, and the next second, the entire camp’s tents seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand; canvas flew into the air with tearing sounds, wooden poles and supports snapped, and even the main tent’s foundation, rooted half a foot deep, was uprooted by the surging airflow, swirling into the sky with the wind.A terrifying pressure descended like an overcast sky, and the dense demonic energy, like mud mixed with ice shards, poured into everyone's mouths and noses.Third-Order soldiers’ faces turned pale purple, desperately clutching at the broken stones on the ground just to manage to lift their heads; those below Second-Order collapsed directly, gasping for air as if their lungs were being squeezed by a large hand, making even breathing a luxury.In the blink of an eye— “Crack!”The runic barrier covering the camp suddenly glowed with dazzling white light, countless profound runes flowed across the light membrane, but shattered inch by inch the moment they collided with that black streak of light.The instant the Silverwing Demon broke through the barrier, the shockwave it generated blew away half of the camp’s defensive fortifications, and the sharp clang of metal wings cutting through the air was more piercing than any alarm.It did not pause for a moment, its golden vertical pupils locked onto the main tent in the center of the camp, and with a flap of its wings, it swooped down like a meteor, smashing tents, fences, and weapon racks along its path, plowing a black-smoking gully into the ground.The main tent was torn open, and sand and stones poured in with the strong wind; the wooden table had long since flown off to who knows where, maps and documents fluttered everywhere, and the faces of several camp commanders instantly turned pale as they watched the demonic energy storm hurtle towards them.Regiment Commander Yan looked up, the weakness brought by the Spirit-Locking Powder making him soft all over, but as he watched the black storm draw closer, his pupils constricted, and his stomach churned—not from nausea, but from pure terror.“Save—” He had just squeezed out half a word when a Black-Robed Man suddenly stood up beside him; it was the Sixth-Order Soul Master who had remained silently by his side.“Soul Shock!”The Black-Robed Man pushed his palms forward, his eyes bursting with grayish-black light, and a visible mental shockwave surged like a tide towards the Silverwing Demon above, as if countless wailing spirits shrieked in the air.The Silverwing Demon’s dive only paused for half a breath, as if a meteor had collided with a speck of dust while passing through the atmosphere; its eerie green vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and the demonic energy around it automatically formed a barrier, the mental shockwave striking the barrier and creating huge ripples.The barrier shattered, and the Black-Robed Man violently spat out a mouthful of blood, a sharp pain in his mind; his pupils constricted, for although the Silverwing Demon’s mental strength was inferior to his own, he inexplicably suffered a mental backlash.And at this moment, the Silverwing Demon, like a black meteor, crashed without hesitation into the center of the main tent, precisely where Regiment Commander Yan stood.Regiment Commander Yan’s pupils dilated to the extreme, spiritual energy wildly surging within his body but refusing to obey, unable even to curl his body.Just as the sharp claws were about to touch his nose, a fiery red jade pendant on his chest suddenly burst forth with dazzling red light, and a red spiritual energy shield abruptly emerged from his body, enveloping him completely, with patterns like flowing magma on the shield’s surface.Boom—!!!The Silverwing Demon crashed squarely into the shield; without any buffer, the immense impact instantly dented the shield, emitting a screeching sound on the verge of shattering.Regiment Commander Yan felt a flash of white before his eyes, his body feeling as if it had been struck by a giant hammer weighing tens of thousands of tons, and he, along with the Silverwing Demon, transformed into a black and red streaking light, crashing into the ground!A terrifying force erupted from the point of impact, and the ground collapsed violently downwards as if struck by a meteorite.The entire Crimson Gold Battle Group camp was sent flying by this shockwave; the six camp commanders, Li Wufeng, Qin Tian, and the surrounding soldiers were all thrown back like broken puppets, tracing arcs in the air before crashing heavily into the ruins hundreds of meters away.Giant, spiderweb-like cracks split open in the center of the camp, and concentric circular gullies spread outwards, sweeping away defensive fortifications, armories, and tent remnants.Dust and rubble soared into the sky, forming a massive mushroom cloud, and amidst the sky-obscuring smoke, only the dull thudding sounds from underground could be heard, as if a giant beast was stirring the rock layers deep below.After a long while, the dust slowly settled, revealing a giant pit a hundred meters in diameter and seemingly bottomless; the ground at the pit’s edge was still trembling, and hot air currents occasionally spewed from the cracks; the entire Crimson Gold Battle Group headquarters had been transformed into a desolate ruin.The dust was still slowly settling, and an ear-grating sound of bones grinding came from the bottom of the giant pit.Li Wufeng struggled to his feet from the ruins, wiping the blood from his face, his gaze fixed on the bottom of the pit.There, the Silverwing Demon was kneeling on the shattered rock, its right claw like an iron clamp gripping Regiment Commander Yan’s neck, lifting him entirely into the air.The once invincible Regiment Commander of the Crimson Gold Battle Group now looked like a tattered rag doll, his hair and blood matted together, clinging to his pale cheeks, dark red blood foam at the corners of his mouth, dripping onto the shattered stones at the bottom of the pit.His military uniform, embroidered with the family crest, was long since torn, revealing a chest covered in grotesque bruises, and the fiery red shield had vanished without a trace.His eyes were half-open, half-closed, his unfocused pupils reflecting the Silverwing Demon’s cold, eerie green vertical pupils, and the wheezing sound from his throat clearly indicated he was at his last gasp.“Regiment… Regiment Commander Yan!”The soldiers cried out in trembling voices, filled with disbelief.No one could have imagined that this Sixth-Order expert, possessing a Golden Bloodline and wielding one of the Ten Great Famous Spears, would be reduced to such a state by a single blow from the Silverwing Demon.The six camp commanders’ faces were ashen, neither moving nor staying still, frozen in place.Li Wufeng tightened his grip on the saber at his waist, his fingertips white; he subconsciously turned to look at Qin Tian, only to find that Qin Tian was unusually showing a look of “shock.”The Silverwing Demon lowered its head to glance at its dying prey in its claw, its vertical pupils devoid of any emotion; it slowly raised its head, its gaze sweeping over the people at the edge of the pit, and whoever its violent, demonic gaze passed over couldn’t help but shiver.Just then, the Silverwing Demon violently flapped its wings, and the air currents stirred up sand and stones from the bottom of the pit.It was leaving.“Don’t even think about leaving!”A hoarse roar came from the edge of the pit; the Black-Robed Man’s withered hands formed complex seals, and his eyes once again burst forth with grayish-black light; he condensed his soul power into a slender black spike, shooting it directly towards the Silverwing Demon’s brain.The Silverwing Demon seemed to sense the danger, its ascent paused for half a breath, then a demonic energy shield appeared on its body; after enduring the blow, its body swayed for a moment, then its speed became even more ferocious.Its metallic wings traced an afterimage in the sunlight, moving so fast that only a blurry black streak of light remained.In just a single breath, its figure had shrunk to a black dot on the horizon, completely disappearing from everyone’s sight, leaving behind only the bottomless crack in the pit and the dense demonic energy that had not yet dispersed in the air.A deathly silence fell around the giant pit, broken only by the mournful sigh of the wind sweeping through the ruins.Everyone gazed in the direction where the Silverwing Demon had vanished, speechless for a long time—this sudden attack came swiftly and departed even more hastily, yet it etched an indelible fear into everyone’s hearts.“Quick, come with me to save him!”The Black-Robed Man shouted, his old voice hoarse like a broken bellows, yet unable to conceal his undisguised urgency.However, only dead silence answered him.The six camp commanders looked at each other, then avoided his gaze. “Are you kidding? Even a Sixth-Order master like Regiment Commander Yan was almost killed by a single blow from the Silverwing Demon. What could we do if we chased after it? Offer ourselves up?”Moreover, apart from a few of Regiment Commander Yan’s trusted camp commanders, the others did not have a good relationship with Regiment Commander Yan, and some even held long-standing grudges; who would risk their lives to save him?And these few trusted camp commanders also came from bloodline families, each a shrewd individual; they knew full well why Regiment Commander Yan would try to win them over, but it was purely a matter of mutual benefit, and they would never do something as foolish as self-sacrifice.Seeing this, the Black-Robed old man was both anxious and angry, and just then, a calm voice suddenly rang out:“I’ll go with you.”Everyone looked up sharply, only to see “Qin Tian” standing at the edge of the giant pit at some unknown point, his military uniform stained with some dust, his expression still so calm that no emotion could be discerned.He brushed the dust from his sleeve, his gaze falling on the Black-Robed old man, his tone flat and unwavering: “Although the Silverwing Demon is fast, the residual demonic energy has not dispersed; I can pinpoint its location.”Hearing this, everyone was immediately dumbfounded, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.Qin Tian was actually going to voluntarily save Regiment Commander Yan?“I must be hearing things.”Li Wufeng was also stunned, subconsciously wanting to speak up and stop him, but then saw “Qin Tian” cast a reassuring glance, an assurance he couldn’t quite understand hidden in his eyes.The Black-Robed old man was even more rooted to the spot, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, which then burst into ecstatic joy: “Good! Good! You lead the way!”“Good! Let’s go!”“Qin Tian” nodded, a pair of black wings suddenly unfurling behind him, and then he transformed into a black shadow, chasing in the direction of the residual demonic energy.The Black-Robed old man quickly soared into the air, following closely behind.The two figures, one in front and one behind, soon disappeared into the dust of the wilderness.At the edge of the giant pit, several camp commanders exchanged glances, and after a long while, someone hesitantly spoke: “He—he really went?”No one could answer that question; only the wind, carrying sand and dust, swept across the bottomless giant pit, as if whispering the profound meaning hidden behind this sudden turn of events.
