Chapter 85

Not to mention, there are even stronger, high-level demons among them.

"Could it be that we are only destined to die here?"

Subconsciously, Su Qinglian looked at Zhou Yi.

Yet she found that the expression on his sharp, resolute face remained calm.

It was as if nothing could ever make him feel surprised.

"Sigh, when did I become inferior even to a junior student?"

Su Qinglian gave a self-deprecating smile and shook her head. "Besides, even if there really is no way to break through, ending it like this isn't too bad."

A smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The afternoon sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, shining upon her, making her already beautiful profile appear even more crystalline and jade-like.

"Zhou Yi, what should we do next?"

Taking a deep breath, Su Qinglian looked at Zhou Yi.

The remaining members, including Zhang Yi, also turned their gazes toward him.

Unknowingly, Zhou Yi had already become the backbone of the Blue Kite Squad.

"Recover your state and prepare to break through."

Zhou Yi’s gaze narrowed slightly.

Judging by the situation along the way here.

There should still be many scattered demon squads in the jungle searching for and killing other professional teams.

Once these demons finish clearing out most of the professionals in the jungle.

To prevent any remaining professionals from escaping, they will naturally all converge on this plain.

By then, it will be even harder to break through.

Moreover...

There should be quite a few teams like them waiting at the edge of this jungle.

They are all just quietly watching, not daring to take risks easily.

Once they take the lead in launching a breakout, these people will naturally follow suit.

"Alright."

Su Qinglian clearly understood their current predicament, nodded, and immediately sat down to recover her state along with the others.

Along the way, with Zhou Yi constantly casting Slow Healing, almost no one had suffered any injuries.

Recovering their state was mainly about replenishing their magic power.

In less than two minutes, everyone had returned to their peak state.

"Hiss—"

"Roar—"

Just as everyone was poised and ready to charge out and break through, a chorus of demon roars suddenly erupted from the plain ahead.

Although Zhou Yi and the others did not understand the demon language, based on their experience of clashing with Flame Demons several times before.

They understood that these sounds were angry roars emitted by them!

"What’s going on? Why are the demons suddenly rioting?"

Everyone was startled and quickly looked outward.

They saw a figure rushing out onto the wide plain outside.

This was a slender female professional, who did not look very old, likely under 20 years of age.

She wore light black armor, and her black hair was tied high with a red silk ribbon.

This revealed her perfectly exquisite and stunning features.

She held a simple, ancient longsword in her hand, weaving back and forth through the surrounding Flame Demon squad.

As deep purple sword Qi flashed and crisscrossed, demons were constantly sent flying.

Although the sword Qi had impressive power, it was clear that the girl's damage output was somewhat insufficient.

The demons that were sent flying quickly climbed back up and rejoined the battle.

If the damage isn't enough, make up for it with attack speed!

Under the girl's continuous, violent onslaught, within just a few minutes, two demons were killed and obliterated by the sharp sword Qi.

"What an amazing girl! Such fast attack speed!"

"Hiss, to be able to kill two demons while being surrounded, impressive!"

"Let me use Appraisal to see what level this professional is."

At this moment, there were about eight demons surrounding the girl, although their average level was only around 21.

This was lower than the level of the squad of eight Silver-tier demons the Blue Kite Squad had encountered earlier.

But one must realize, this is just one person!!

Being able to avoid being killed while surrounded, and even killing two demons, is already extremely monstrous!

She is likely a professional above level 25!!

Consequently, the squad members, including Su Qinglian, hurriedly used Appraisal to identify the girl's information.

[Level: 15]

[Profession: Spirit-Driving Swordsman]

"Hiss, only level 15?!"

"What kind of monster is this? This is too insane!"

Looking at the information displayed by the Appraisal skill, the members of the Blue Kite Squad nearly popped their eyes out.

This level was a full 10 levels lower than the level 25 they had imagined!!

"Jiang Churan? Why is she here?"

Looking at the girl on the plain, Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

Although the girl was shrouded in deep purple dark-attribute energy, he recognized her identity at a glance.

"You know her?" Su Qinglian asked, puzzled.

"Yes, like me, she is also a freshman at Su University," Zhou Yi replied.

"A freshman?"

The members of the Blue Kite Squad exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Are all the freshmen in your year... this strong?"

Su Qinglian’s gaze stalled; she was already losing the desire to speak.

They had just encountered a monster like Zhou Yi, and now here comes Jiang Churan!

"Let's go. She shouldn't be able to hold on in this state.

If no one helps, she might be in mortal danger."

Zhou Yi flipped onto his Gale Wolf, raised his Profound Light War Hammer, and took the lead in charging out.

He had already realized that Jiang Churan was likely utilizing the hidden dark-attribute power within her.

Her strength had been temporarily boosted.

But this dark-attribute power was rapidly weakening.

Once it disappeared completely, the surrounding demons could easily kill her.

"Let's go! Follow behind Zhou Yi!"

Su Qinglian also knew that this was the critical moment to break through.

Her gaze hardened, she gripped her longsword, and led Zhang Yi and the others to charge out as well.

"Shadow Slash!"

On the plain, Jiang Churan held her inherited weapon, the Dark Moon Ancient Sword.

She violently swung a massive deep purple sword Qi toward her surroundings.

"Hiss—"

The tall, hideous Flame Demons nearby quickly dodged, causing the sword Qi to miss and strike the ground.

Boom!!

The grass-covered ground was immediately blasted into a deep crater!!
