Among the Celestial Soldiers, some of the weaker ones only had the strength of the eighth Godly Emperor Layer, so there weren't that many of them.
Most of the second Celestial Soldiers had the strength of the ninth Godly Emperor Layer.
Lu Ming had the Zephyr Pearl, which was a powerful weapon. He had the strength of the ninth Godly Emperor Layer. As a second Celestial Soldier, he was definitely qualified to lead them.
They could only sigh. They had underestimated Lu Ming.
They would never have thought that Lu Ming, who only had the strength of the third Godly Emperor Layer, could be so strong.
Usually, even if someone had the strength of the third Godly Emperor Layer, they wouldn't be able to display the strength of the ninth Godly Emperor Layer. But Lu Ming had done it. They had underestimated him.
Lu Ming was much more talented than they had imagined.
When they saw Lu Ming's strength, they immediately admitted their mistakes.
"Alright, I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, I'll punish you severely!"
Said Lu Ming coldly.
He knew very well that these people were targeting him mainly because his cultivation level was too low. These people were afraid that Lu Ming's cultivation level was not high enough. If he led them to fight against the demons, not only would they not be able to obtain merit points, but they would also harm them. They were not targeting him.
As long as he showed them how strong he was, they would be convinced.
"Captain, don't worry. From now on, I'll support you!"
"Me too!"
Said the old Celestial Soldiers.
After all, their team would be in the same boat in the future. They would be bound together for good or ill.
Since they had decided to follow Lu Ming, they couldn't be disloyal. Otherwise, when they fought against the demons, they would be the ones who would be harmed.
"Alright, let's start again!"
Ordered Lu Ming.
He understood that he had managed to subdue the Celestial Soldiers.
Of course, it was impossible for them to work for him wholeheartedly and willingly.
Lu Ming had no intention of subduing these people to work for him. It was just a cooperative relationship. Lu Ming needed this position to hunt demons. He only needed to obtain merit points.
Bzzz!
As the battle matrix was activated, a golden divine sword was formed and slashed toward the ground.
Boom!
There was an explosion on the ground, but it didn't leave a mark.
The ground was covered with talismans. With their strength, they couldn't destroy it. That's why they dared to attack the ground.
"Not bad, it's very powerful!"
Lu Ming nodded.
The old Celestial Soldiers didn't cause trouble, so the battle formation was activated smoothly. It was the first time, so they weren't familiar with it. and couldn't display its full strength. However, it was enough to kill cultivators of the ninth Godly Emperor layer.
Even cultivators who had the strength of the ninth Godly Emperor Layer couldn't resist it.
"Again!"
Lu Ming shouted and continued to drill the battle formation.
For the next twenty days, they practiced the battle formation every day. After twenty days of practice, they could already operate it as one and unleash the power of the battle formation to its maximum.
The combined attack of the battle formations was extremely terrifying. Even if it wasn't as strong as the attack of an Emperor God, it wasn't too far off.
It had been exactly one month since Lu Ming received the array talisman.
At this time, Lieutenant Liu Daneng once again gathered the captains for a meeting.
"In recent years, the Abyss Devils have become more and more low-key, and the number of times they have attacked Nantian City has decreased. Things are a bit strange, so the Heaven Palace has decided to take advantage of this period to occupy the territory around Nantian City and use it as a stronghold!"
"First, we can expand the area of defense. Second, we can kill some demons and weaken their strength. Therefore, we're going to send Celestial Soldiers to eliminate the demons around Nantian City. You're going to fight."
Liu Daneng went straight to the point.
"Good, we're finally going to fight. We've been here for so long and haven't fought. I'm bored to death!"
Said a tall and sturdy young man with a smile.
The other captains had different expressions on their faces.
Some of them looked expectant and eager to fight.
As for some people, their expressions were somewhat grave.
However, most of them looked expectant, such as Lu Ming.
After all, they could only obtain merit points by killing demons. They couldn't get any merit points if they stayed in Nantian City all the time.
"Now, I'm going to assign the tasks. Feng Xu, Yao Chao, Song Xiaoqi, you guys will lead your men to the second-grade area, Hungry Wolf Mountain Range. Eliminate the demons there!"
Liu Daneng ordered.
"Yes!"
Three of the captains stood up to receive the order.
"Mu Yun, Da Gang, Xiao Niu, the three of you will lead your men to Eight Snake Mountain Range and eliminate all the demons there. Don't leave a single one alive!"
Liu Daneng continued to give orders.
"Yes!"
Lu Ming and the other two stood up to receive the order. At the same time, Lu Ming muttered in his heart. What a coincidence. When he participated in the Celestial Soldier assessment, he had headed to Eight Snake Mountain Range.
Now that he had become a Celestial Soldier, his first mission to eliminate demons was also Eight Snake Mountain Range.
It could only be said that enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.
Liu Daneng continued to give orders. Soon, all twenty captains received their tasks.
"Now, you guys are heading to the second-grade area. It's the easiest. After eliminating these areas, there will be other missions. At that time, you might enter the third-grade area. Set off now!"
Liu Daneng ordered.
Everyone received the order and left the place.
Lu Ming returned to the encampment and left Nantian City with forty-nine members. They headed towards Eight Snake Mountain Range.
After leaving Nantian City, there was a vast area. This area was empty and there were no demons there.
Because this area had been cleared by the Heavenly Palace, there were also strong cultivators from the Heavenly Palace patrolling the area. Therefore, it was relatively safe.
The second-grade and first-grade areas of the Eight Snake Mountain Range were the closest to this area. There were fewer high-level demons there.
Very quickly, Lu Ming and the others arrived at the Eight Snake Mountain Range.
Lu Ming discovered that apart from the three teams, there were other teams. They were obviously sent by other captains.
There were ten teams in total.
"We should split up. That way, we can obtain more merit points!"
Said another captain, Xiao Niu. He glanced at Lu Ming disdainfully.
Lu Ming's cultivation level was only of the third Godly Emperor Layer. Surprisingly, he was on the same level as him.
Xiao Niu's fighting strength was equivalent to the ninth Godly Emperor Layer.
Therefore, he didn't want to act together with Lu Ming. He was afraid that Lu Ming would drag them down.
Then, Xiao Niu left with his team.
After that, another captain, Da Gang, also left with his team. Apparently, he had the same idea as Xiao Niu.
"Hmph, what a bunch of snobs!"
"Yes, sooner or later, we'll make them sit up and take notice of us!"
Some people in Lu Ming's team were unhappy.
Now, they were on the same boat as Lu Ming. If Lu Ming was looked down upon, it meant that they were looked down upon as well. Of course, they were unhappy.
"Let them be arrogant for now. Later, when we kill more demons than them, we'll see what they have to say!"
"Yes, captain, let's kill them!"
Some people shouted.
