Chapter 120: Squad

As Ye Qingxuan raised his head to look into the distance.

In the direction he was facing, a figure appeared swiftly, and an angry voice rang out:

"Human whelp, you dare slaughter our tribe? You seek death."

The moment the words fell, this Green Demon Clan member, who had just arrived and not yet drawn near, struck out in anger from a distance.

Watching the attack sweep toward him, brimming with dense demonic energy, Ye Qingxuan sneered and said:

"So it is merely a lowly Green Demon of the Nascent Soul realm?"

He had thought the one drawn by the spiritual fluctuations of the Spirit Cleansing·Nuclear Bomb Elixir would be a powerful Green Demon of the Soul Transformation realm.

Who would have expected only a Nascent Soul realm cultivator?

Had it been a Soul Transformation realm cultivator, Ye Qingxuan would have retreated, but a Nascent Soul realm Green Demon, he truly did not take seriously.

Although he had descended into the Demon Realm only as an avatar, without bringing precious magic treasures, he had prepared quite a few trump cards.

Among them were the fifth-rank Nuclear Bomb Elixir series he had refined after advancing to a fifth-rank alchemist, including the fifth-rank Spirit Cleansing·Nuclear Bomb Elixir.

The energy level of the fifth-rank Spirit Cleansing·Nuclear Bomb Elixir was already comparable to the condensed demonic energy of a Nascent Soul realm Green Demon.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan felt no fear of the demonic energy attack from the Nascent Soul realm Green Demon.

With no intention of retreating, Ye Qingxuan took out a fifth-rank Spirit Cleansing·Nuclear Bomb Elixir and threw it directly at the incoming attack of the Nascent Soul realm Green Demon.

Immediately, the rumbling and piercing hissing sounds rang out once more.

The white Spirit Cleansing energy and the black fifth-rank demonic energy intertwined and wore each other down, erupting in a violent reaction that sent layers of energy waves spreading outward.

Seeing this, a five-colored, flowing spiritual power barrier rose before Ye Qingxuan, easily blocking the intense energy aftereffects.

This five-colored, flowing spiritual power barrier was a minor application of the technique seed of Ye Qingxuan's minor divine ability, the Minor Five Elements Shield.

The Nascent Soul realm Green Demon, rushing toward them from afar, saw his attack so easily blocked by Ye Qingxuan and immediately halted his advance.

His eyes alert as he stared at Ye Qingxuan, seemingly no longer daring to act rashly, he spoke up to question:

"Human rat, what technique are you using?"

The moment the words fell, before Ye Qingxuan could answer, this Nascent Soul realm Green Demon struck out again swiftly, launching several attacks toward Ye Qingxuan.

Using the fluctuations of the attack as cover, a sinister smile appeared on the Nascent Soul realm Green Demon's face as he rapidly closed in on Ye Qingxuan.

Although he did not know what technique Ye Qingxuan had used to block his attack, the spiritual power fluctuations Ye Qingxuan had revealed were ultimately those of a mere Purple Mansion realm cultivator.

Once he got close, he was certain Ye Qingxuan would be unable to cause any trouble.

The distant Ye Qingxuan, seeing the arriving Green Demon stop and question him,

had been planning to utter harsh words to draw the opponent's attention, then secretly use talismans and Nuclear Bomb Elixirs to ambush him.

He never expected the opponent to be so devoid of demonic virtue, acting even faster than himself.

"Damn, you cunning old dog."

Ye Qingxuan cursed under his breath, his own movements no slower.

Activating a fifth-rank Instant Movement Talisman, Ye Qingxuan's figure vanished directly on the spot; however, before disappearing, he tossed over a dozen fifth-rank Nuclear Bomb Elixirs and fifth-rank Spirit Cleansing·Nuclear Bomb Elixirs in all directions.

It must be known that the power of a fifth-rank Nuclear Bomb Elixir was comparable to a sixth-rank low-grade talisman, possessing the might of a single strike from an early-stage Soul Transformation realm cultivator.

If over a dozen fifth-rank Nuclear Bomb Elixirs and fifth-rank Spirit Cleansing·Nuclear Bomb Elixirs exploded simultaneously, and the Nascent Soul realm Green Demon plunged straight into them, it would surely mean certain death.

Unfortunately, a cultivator's spiritual sense was extremely alert, especially when facing a life-or-death crisis.

The Nascent Soul realm Green Demon, originally surging toward Ye Qingxuan, suddenly sensed a powerful sense of crisis.

"Not good."

He called out softly, produced a black talisman, and activated it instantly without hesitation.

His body was immediately shrouded in a black light and vanished as well.

"Boom, hiss, hiss, hiss."

Brilliant energy orbs began to rise and spread outward, their energy fluctuations lingering for a long time. The spot where they had been was now empty, with both Ye Qingxuan and the Nascent Soul realm Green Demon gone, leaving only intense energy fluctuations that destroyed everything around them.

The simultaneous explosion of over a dozen fifth-rank Nuclear Bomb Elixirs and fifth-rank Spirit Cleansing·Nuclear Bomb Elixirs, with their energy fluctuations, immediately alarmed many Soul Transformation realm Green Demons in the vicinity, as well as some hidden Soul Transformation realm experts from the Earth Mysterious Realm lurking in the Demon Realm.

Many Soul Transformation realm Green Demons in the surrounding area began to converge on the scene from all directions, acting in unison.

Immense aura pressure covered the surroundings; as they sped past, they began to search the areas they passed for any other intruders.

In a valley roughly a thousand li from the scene, a bronze mirror hovered above a squad of five, concealing their auras.

This group was a squad composed of Soul Transformation realm experts from the Earth Mysterious Realm.

They had been lying in wait in Demon Realm World Number Three for quite some time, hunting down many Green Demons.

Not only them, but within a ten-thousand-li radius of the incident where Ye Qingxuan caused a disturbance, there were three or four other Soul Transformation realm squads from the Earth Mysterious Realm, hiding in various locations and concealing their auras.

Because these squads had hunted down a large number of Green Demons, they had been pursued by the experts of Demon Realm Number Three; at this moment, they were evading the Green Demon squads chasing them.

That was right; to counter the squads from the Earth Mysterious Realm, the Green Demon experts had likewise formed various squads.

For them, as long as they could strengthen themselves, learning from the enemy's methods was no shame.

The intense energy fluctuations caused by Ye Qingxuan were detected by all the major squads nearby, both from the Earth Mysterious Realm and the Green Demon Clan.

The surrounding Soul Transformation realm Green Demon experts, along with the Green Demon squads pursuing the Earth Mysterious Realm experts, began to form a cordon around the scene in tacit understanding, launching a siege.

In the eyes of these Soul Transformation realm Green Demon experts, only the Soul Transformation realm squads from the Earth Mysterious Realm could cause such intense energy fluctuations within the Demon Realm.

If they could successfully annihilate a Soul Transformation realm squad from the Earth Mysterious Realm, they would make a huge profit.

The Green Demon Clan's high command had set a substantial bounty on these invading squads from the Earth Mysterious Realm.

However, although the Green Demon experts had moved, these Soul Transformation realm squads from the Earth Mysterious Realm, though somewhat puzzled, had no intention of heading to the scene to investigate.

Watching the Green Demon experts fly swiftly overhead, one of the five beneath the bronze mirror on their heads could not help but ask the leader: "Captain, what should we do now?"

This squad was named the Number One Demon-Slaying Squad, and its leader was Bai Yi, a direct disciple of the Xuantian Sect at the Soul Transformation realm.

The reason it was called the Number One Demon-Slaying Squad was that when they registered, the name "Demon-Slaying Squad" had already been taken by others.

These squads were not formed on a whim.

To form a team, at least three Soul Transformation realm experts are required to register a Soul Transformation team with the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.

Besides Soul Transformation teams, there are Void Penetration teams, Empty Meditation teams, and even Tribulation Crossing teams.

However, experts of the Tribulation Crossing realm, if willing, can form a team alone; there is no requirement for a multi-person combination.

Experts naturally possess the privileges of experts.

As for cultivators below the Soul Transformation realm, teams they form privately can only be considered reserve teams of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance and lack the qualification to be registered with the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.

Teams can not only act independently but also accept various missions from the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.

If they achieve sufficient military merit, the team will be granted a title, making their name known across all regions of the Di Xuan Realm.

This is the reason why many Soul Transformation realm experts and those above in the Di Xuan Realm are keen on forming teams.

Whether for fame or profit, forming a qualified team provides immense help to each other.

Bai Yi heard his teammate's question, pondered for a moment, and smiled lightly:

"Since so many Soul Transformation realm experts of the Green Demon Clan nearby have been drawn away, let us go to the sixth-rank demon vein we previously scouted, destroy the demon vein, and eliminate the Soul Transformation realm Green Demon Clan entity within it."

"Let us go, act swiftly and decisively. After completing this job, we will return to the Di Xuan Realm to rest for a while."

"Very well, let us do so. Let us go."

The others nodded in agreement one after another; Bai Yi's decision received unanimous approval from the entire team.

After the consensus was reached.

The group quickly left this place, heading in the opposite direction of the Soul Transformation realm experts of the Green Demon Clan.
