The closer they were to the downtown area, the more devilish people they encountered. The intensity of the devils was much higher, too.
The devils they met at the beginning could be slain with a single slash of the sword aura. But the devils they met later were covered in black gas that looked like chain armor. Even if they were chopped into pieces by the sword aura, as long as they were not completely obliterated, they would be reunited in hideous laughter.
Li Yao and the other Cultivators defeated four large-scale waves of devils in a row and rescued seven batches of devilish people who had been possessed by the devils. They themselves were greatly exhausted, too.
Under the leadership of Cai Qi, a Yuanying Sword Cultivator, not many people were hurt. But most of them had consumed a lot of magical equipment, and the spiritual energy inside their bodies had been greatly depleted, too. The Crystal Suit was more or less damaged because of the contamination of the devils.
There was not much damage on the surface, but the luster on the surface of the Crystal Suit was much dimmer than before.
The face hidden behind the iron armor was paler than before, too.
"This is not going to work. The Temple of Immortals is obviously trying to exhaust us with the extraterrestrial devils."
Li Yao said to Ye Hongfei, "The closer we are to the downtown area, the more scattered we are. We often have to assign a large batch of Cultivators to escort the civilians to the shelters.
"Besides, our spiritual energy and magical equipment are both exhausted. I can tell that many Refinement Stage Cultivators are exhausted.
"The Immortal Cultivators are obviously waiting for us in the downtown area. They are waiting for us to be at our weakest and most exhausted moment before they launch the fatal assassination!"
"So what?"
Ye Hongfei's voice sounded tired. He was no longer as energetic as when the Mist Clearing Operation had just begun. He smiled bitterly. "Look at these people."
He pointed at a batch of civilians who had just been rescued. There were more than a thousand of them.
The closer they were to the downtown area, the more possessed the ordinary people were. Even if the devils were expelled from their bodies, they were often exhausted and their souls drained. They were lying on the ground, wobbling, as if they had just recovered from a serious disease. A large batch of Cultivators had to be assigned to take care of and escort them.
Being possessed by a devil was like the most horrible nightmare. It was definitely not a pleasant feeling.
The ordinary people who had just experienced a nightmare recalled all the horrible things in the deepest part of their memory. All of them looked haggard and scared.
Even the young men were sweating profusely and gasping for breath. Not to mention women and children.
Li Yao saw that a slightly plump middle-aged woman's eyes were red. She was trying her best to hold back her fear, but she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
In her arms was a seven or eight-year-old boy. His face was deathly pale, and the bulging veins on his face hadn't completely faded away. He was so scared that he couldn't even cry.
A Cultivator carried a stiff old man out of the crowd and carefully placed him aside. He covered the old man with a white sheet and sighed helplessly.
"I've been possessed for too long, and my stamina has dried up. Even a Golden Immortal won't be able to save him. "
Beside the old man, there were dozens of corpses neatly placed.
All the corpses, as well as the burning skyscrapers and bloodstained dilapidated walls that he saw on his way, pierced Li Yao's eyes deeply, as if a steel knife was scraping his brain cells.
It had been a long time since Li Yao had been so angry.
He was so angry that he wished he could grow a set of teeth in his heart and clench them together!
"Longevity Hall … Immortal cultivators …"
An hour later. In the secondary central area of the tenth space ring … Lofu Supermarket on Anding Road …
When they arrived … Cai Qi's squad only had a hundred and fifty people left. The rest of the Cultivators had not been devoured by the extraterrestrial devils but were escorting the civilians to the shelters.
The Lofu Supermarket was a seventeen-floor skyscraper. Other than the supermarket on the bottom four floors, there were also other entertainment facilities on the upper floors. It was the center of the ten blocks nearby.
Right now, the Lofu Supermarket was not as prosperous as it used to be. Gloomy winds were blowing, and ghosts were crying and howling, as if they were in hell.
All the windows of the skyscraper were broken. Green flames were flowing out of the dark windows, which entangled and intertwined with each other like vines. They reached the top of the skyscraper and soared into the sky. When they were about to touch the artificial dome, they congregated into a swirling cloud in the shape of a vortex.
Inside the cloud, demonic waves were surging, and bubbles were popping up. Now and then, a lot of devils would rush out of the void and rush into Heavenly Saints City!
As he expected, there was indeed an altar of extraterrestrial devils in the Lofu Supermarket, which broke the boundary between the three-dimensional space and the four-dimensional space and lured countless devils from a mysterious place in the vast sea of stars to Heavenly Saints City!
If the altar was not destroyed, even if all the devils in Heavenly Saints City were annihilated, new devils would arrive incessantly!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
Sensing the arrival of a large batch of Cultivators, hundreds of devils soared into the sky from the Lofu Supermarket and gathered into an overwhelming army.
This army of devils was different from the devils that Li Yao had met before. Not only were their appearance outlined by the flames of the devil more vivid, but their limbs were also covered in delicate armor. Li Yao could even vaguely see the complicated stripes on the armor!
It wasn't just that, they were like a real army, carrying out strict orders and carrying out strict orders. They really gave off a dignified and awe-inspiring aura!
"They are the real extraterrestrial devils. The devils just now are not comparable to them at all. Be careful, everybody!"
Hardly had Cai Qi concluded his sentence when thousands of ordinary people who had been possessed by devils jumped out of the streets and alleys in all directions again!
In midair, the army of extraterrestrial devils was rushing close!
On the ground, the Devil Dwellers were scrambling to be the first to charge forward fearlessly!
"I'll resist the extraterrestrial devils first. You go and save the people!"
Cai Qi, the Sword Cultivator of Yuanying, soared into the sky. The dozens of crescent-shaped flying swords hovering around him suddenly emitted dazzling brilliance. In cracking noises, they formed an enormous crescent-shaped semicircular ring more than three meters in diameter with sharp edges both inside and outside!
The two ends were sharp and the middle was wide. The 'crescent' emitted cold brilliance. The surging aura of the sword alone was enough to make a lot of devils that were close to it scream miserably and fall apart!
"Demons and devils, disperse!"
It was not until this moment that Cai Qi finally revealed the full capability of a Yuanying expert. One man and one sword turned into countless cold sword auras that were as clear as water, milk, glue, and paint. The army of extraterrestrial devils seemed to have been frozen in midair by his strength alone!
The giant crescent-shaped flying swords suddenly condensed and flashed among the thousands of devils. Then, they suddenly split into dozens of streaks of moonlight and executed the fleeing devils instantly!
Thousands of devils were slashed into broken smoke by Cai Qi and his sword. They were shivering like minced meat. Before they were condensed, the wind of the swords swept by and tore them apart!
Li Yao and the other Cultivators felt that their blood was boiling. They decided to take the opportunity to set up a battle array and save the people!
"Hiss!"
While the thousands of devils were being slaughtered by Cai Qi, a long shriek that made everybody's heart palpitate suddenly echoed from the depths of the Lofu Supermarket.
A streak of green brilliance soared into the sky. Almost a hundred tentacles darted out.
Caught unprepared, the hundred devils were tied up by the tentacles and absorbed into the green brilliance. They were completely swallowed!
After swallowing hundreds of devils, the green brilliance suddenly expanded and constricted, condensing into a handsome figure more than two meters tall.
This human figure looked ordinary, like a young man with a smile on his face.
However, its appearance raised the pressure of all the Cultivators. The higher their Cultivation was, the more intense their fear would be!
For the high-level Cultivators with keen senses such as Li Yao, mountains of corpses, oceans of blood, and skeletons seemed to be appearing in front of their eyes. They were shrieking miserably as if needles were piercing their ears and sabers were scraping their bones!
"Pu!"
The 'young man' suddenly expanded his chest and spat out a mouthful of green flames. The flames split into dozens of streaks in midair and darted toward the Cultivators like a storm!
More than ten Cultivators hurriedly dodged, but two of them failed to dodge in time and were hit by the flames!
"Ahhhh!"
For a moment, the flames turned into a green suit of fire and enshrouded the two Cultivators.
Despite the defense of the Crystal Suit, the two Cultivators were still waving their hands and legs crazily and roaring in the flames.
A weird scene took place. The crazy roars turned into weird, hideous laughter in only a few seconds. Streams of flames crawled into the Crystal Suit through the gaps of the Crystal Suit like pervasive bugs, as if they had entered the bodies of the Cultivators!
A moment later, miserable laughter echoed from inside the Crystal Suit.
The two Cultivators were slightly hunched. Their hands and feet were cramping crazily. The spiritual energy flowing around their bodies became even more violent, chaotic, and insane!
"Not good. The negative emotions deep inside their brains, such as fear, hatred, jealousy … have been magnified to the maximum. They have been swallowed by their own dark side and possessed by the extraterrestrial devils, transforming into demonic Cultivators!"
"This extraterrestrial devil is the real devil king. I'll take care of it. Half of you will resist the army of extraterrestrial devils. The other half will break into the supermarket and destroy the altar of extraterrestrial devils!"
"As long as the altar is not destroyed, more extraterrestrial devils will come to the human world!"
"Beep!"
Everybody's crystal processors were glittering in two different colors, which meant that they had been divided into multiple teams according to their Cultivation and features.
According to the changes in the battle, everybody would be able to know their mission immediately.
Li Yao and Ye Hongfei looked at each other. The two of them accelerated to the highest speed and bypassed all the extraterrestrial devils and devilized people after only a few leaps and bounds. They rushed into the dilapidated supermarket.
Inside the supermarket, the smell of blood was so intense that blood seemed to be condensing into pearls in the air. They seemed to have barged into the internal organs of a giant beast.
Crimson, weird murals were everywhere on the walls. One look at them was enough to make them feel dizzy and recall a lot of bloody, cruel, and terrifying memories.
"The smell of blood here is so intense. The altar of extraterrestrial devils should be on the second floor!"
