Chapter 433 – 433: From Today Onward, Seeing Shen Mo Is Like Seeing Me

Chapter 433: From Today Onward, Seeing Shen Mo Is Like Seeing Me

Zhang Longxiang, supported by Zhong Baisheng and the others, had already stood up shakily.

His complexion had been incomparably pale, having lost a great deal of blood.

But now, after a period of recovery, coupled with taking precious elixirs, he had healed considerably.

Seeing this scene from afar, joy appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice, “Those demon clans are all under the command of the Fifth Great Sky Demon.

Only when the Fifth Great Sky Demon dies will they be so sorrowful.”

“Pass down the order, counterattack!

Kill as many as we can!”

Zhong Baisheng, standing beside him, looked delighted.

He immediately took a deep breath and roared with all his might, “The Fifth Great Sky Demon is dead!

Counterattack!”

This sound surged out and spread throughout the fortress walls.

All the Demon Suppression Guards were invigorated.

The Fifth Great Sky Demon was actually dead!

This was an unprecedented event!

Ever since the three races, with the help of the Heavenly Dao’s will, established ten Demon Suppression Fortresses to suppress the demon clans, this was the first Great Sky Demon to fall!

This Great Sky Demon was killed by their Xuanwu Fortress!

“Kill!”

“All of you die!”

“Drive out the demon clans, leaving not a single one behind!”

The Demon Suppression Guards roared with excitement.

Even though they were covered in wounds, at this moment, they charged forward as if injected with stimulants.

The subordinates of the Fifth Great Sky Demon fled in disarray.

Especially those direct descendants of An Feng, that is, the demon clans born from the union of An Feng and female demon clans.

They were called “Great Sky Demon Progeny,” which meant Great Sky Demons who had not yet grown up.

Their status was second only to the ten Great Sky Demons, even higher than the “Great Sky Demon Descendants.”

For these demon clans, their direct source of power was An Feng.

Once An Feng died, the demonic energy within their bodies immediately weakened to the extreme.

The dignified Great Sky Demon Progeny had now become like pigs and dogs, slaughtered by the Demon Suppression Guards.

“It’s time to retreat.”

“Although I didn’t kill Zhang Longxiang or bloodbath Xuanwu Fortress, I obtained two Demon Hearts and most of An Feng’s subordinates.”

“For me, it’s not a loss.”

An Chen did not carefully savor the comfort brought by the two Demon Hearts but immediately ordered all the demon clans to retreat.

Defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

What was most needed now was to stabilize morale and preserve strength.

Soon, the demon clans under the command of the Sixth Great Sky Demon, under the command of various True Demon Venerables, began an orderly retreat.

Shen Mo, clad in demonic armor, carrying Heavenbreaker on his back, and holding a blood spear, joined the battle.

The battle merits gained from killing a Great Sky Demon Progeny were more than those from killing a Zenith True Demon Venerable.

How could he miss such a good opportunity to strike a drowning dog.

The slaughter lasted for a full two hours.

Until the setting sun.

The ice surface of the Demon Suppression Sea had been completely dyed purple-black by demonic blood.

Everywhere were the bloody remains of demon clans.

If these remains accumulated too much, they might be used by demon clans who cultivated the Profound Yin Corpse Gathering Art to transform them into powerful demonic corpses.

To prevent the fortress from being attacked again, these demonic corpses had to be cleared away.

The best way to clear them was naturally to set them on fire.

Of course, because the demon clans’ physical bodies were powerful, ordinary flames naturally could not incinerate demonic corpses.

The Demon Suppression Guards had to gather all the corpses and throw them into the “Demon Incineration Furnace.”

The Demon Incineration Furnace had many strengthening formations inscribed within it and could convert blood energy and spiritual power into powerful flames.

Even if it couldn’t compare to different fire, it could at least reach the strongest level below different fire.

Only this method could completely burn the demonic corpses without them being used by the demon clans to create demonic corpses and continue attacking the fortress.

Within the enormous Demon Incineration Furnace, towering flames rose.

Rolling black smoke surged into the sky.

The surviving Demon Suppression Guards began to clean up the city walls, wash away bloodstains, and move the bodies of their fallen comrades.

Some were sad, some were happy.

And some were full of questions.

Like Zhong Baisheng.

He really wanted to know where those eight Flame Flood Dragon Cloud Boats that changed the course of the battle came from.

He also asked Zhang Longxiang.

But Zhang Longxiang just kept smiling and didn’t answer directly.

Zhang Longxiang said with a smile, “They weren’t bought at a high price from other fortresses.

You’ll find out later.”

Before long, the eight Flame Flood Dragon Cloud Boats began their return flight.

Wang Xing’an led Shen Mo, Ning Tianying, Xiong Yuanshan, and the others to Zhang Longxiang.

Zhang Longxiang’s gaze fell on Shen Mo, unblinking.

Zhong Baisheng looked at Shen Mo and noticed the attitude of Wang Xingan, Ning Tianying, Xiong Yuanshan, and the others towards Shen Mo.

He immediately guessed something.

But the thought that arose in the depths of his heart even he himself felt was absurd.

“Impossible… Could it be related to this kid?” Zhong Baisheng stared at Shen Mo suspiciously.

It wasn’t just him.

There were also several other battalion commanders behind him, all with astonished and curious expressions.

They really wanted to know what role this excessively young Demon Suppression Guard had played in this battle.

Wang Xing’an solemnly knelt on one knee, “General Zhang, we were fortunate enough to complete our mission!”

Zhang Longxiang quickly helped Wang Xing’an up and laughed loudly, “More than completing the mission, you’ve achieved the objective perfectly!”

He came to Shen Mo, patted Shen Mo’s shoulder, and looked at Zhong Baisheng and the others.

“Let me introduce you all.”

“This is Yellow Rank Demon Suppression Guard Shen Mo, the former number two on the Human List.”

“These eight Flame Flood Dragon Cloud Boats were all crafted by him alone!

He brought the key factor in this battle!”

Zhang Longxiang’s voice fell.

Except for Wang Xing’an and the others who already knew, the entire place was silent.

Zhong Baisheng and the others all widened their eyes, staring fixedly at Shen Mo.

Especially Zhong Baisheng, as if he was seeing Shen Mo for the first time.

He remembered that this excessively young Demon Suppression Guard was originally under Ning Tianying.

Later, because Wang Xingan wanted someone, Zhang Longxiang transferred him to the armaments workshop with a single order.

This was very normal.

Wang Xingan asked various battalion commanders for people every day.

But few were willing to go to the armaments workshop, that kind of desolate place.

Therefore, he had never paid much attention to that young man.

As for the Human List number two…

There were so many people with the same name, who knew which Shen Mo it was?

Because of this, he was now extremely astonished.

This young man actually crafted those eight Flame Flood Dragon Cloud Boats?

This was too amazing!

Shen Mo smiled slightly.

Now his strength was enough to deal with a peak true demon venerable.

Currently, the Nine Nether Ice Flame was refining that Demon Heart.

Once it was completely refined, his blood energy cultivation would probably break through several levels consecutively.

At that time, he would be able to deal with even more peak true demon venerables.

This also meant that he would have almost no safety concerns.

In this situation, it wouldn’t matter even if his ability to craft giant armaments was revealed.

After all, this matter couldn’t be hidden for too long.

It would be exposed sooner or later.

Compared to that, now was obviously the best time!

No Demon Suppression Fortress could refuse the temptation of giant armaments!

At that time, a steady stream of orders would flood into Xuanwu Fortress.

He himself could also obtain a massive amount of battle merits.

Battle merits were the most important thing.

Zhang Longxiang pondered for a moment and said solemnly, “From today onward, Shen Mo must have a battalion commander as a personal bodyguard at all times.”

“Shen Mo does not need to go to the front line, nor does he need to fulfill any of the obligations of Heaven Rank, Earth Rank, Profound Rank, or Yellow Rank Demon Suppression Guards.”

“All the materials required for all the armaments crafted by Shen Mo will be paid for by Xuanwu Fortress, that is, taken from me.”

“No one is allowed to hinder him from crafting armaments by any means.

Violators will be treated as traitors to the fortress!”

“From today onward, seeing Shen Mo is like seeing me!”

Everyone’s expression turned solemn, and they said respectfully, “Yes!”
