Chapter 465: A Bountiful Harvest (Combined Chapter, Requesting Everything)

When the savage behemoth pulled out its giant claws, a violently beating heart was still clutched within the massive talons.

The heart of the Abyss Demon Dragon was very large, fully the size of a water vat, but Adai's size was not small either, enough to grasp the heart in one hand.

Roar—

The Abyss Demon Dragon's vitality was extremely vigorous; even after having its heart ripped out by Adai, it did not immediately lose its combat capability.

In an instant, the Abyss Demon Dragon swung its dragon claw, and before Adai could react, it was struck head-on and sent flying.

Roar—

The Abyss Demon Dragon could feel the power within its body rapidly fading, and with the knowledge that it was about to perish, its mind was filled only with killing Adai.

Before Adai could stand up again, the Abyss Demon Dragon shook its dragon body violently, finally managing to spew out a stream of grayish-black Dragon Breath, submerging Adai.

Boom—

Just after spewing the Dragon Breath, the Abyss Demon Dragon could no longer sustain itself and collapsed powerlessly to the ground; its eyes, the size of human heads, gradually lost their color, and it moved no more.

The Abyss Demon Dragon never imagined that it would actually be killed in seconds by the Leader-tier Adai.

Adai stood up, covered in wounds; the most severe was a deep dragon claw mark, and its fur was full of signs of corrosion, with some black energy continuing to corrode its body like bone-deep gangrene.

It was fortunate that the Abyss Demon Dragon's Dragon Breath only lasted for a single breath of time, otherwise, it would have been hard for Adai to avoid being severely injured.

However, if one observed closely, one would find that granulation tissue had already grown in the places where Adai was injured, and it had begun to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Eternal Indestructible Body + Life Aura; Adai's recovery power was completely not inferior to a Hydra.

As long as it was given a little time, it would be able to return to being Healthy.

Adai trotted back to Li Zhangsheng's side, offering the Abyss Demon Dragon's heart to Li Zhangsheng as if presenting a treasure.

Although both were high-level demons, the Abyss Demon Dragon's heart could produce more Advanced Dissolving Agent than that of a Six-Armed Snake Demon or Succubus.

"Leave it here for now!"

Li Zhangsheng pointed to the ground nearby; this was a battlefield after all, and military regulations had to be followed—the Abyss Demon Dragon's heart could only be claimed after being tallied.

After the Abyss Demon Dragon fell, the other three high-level demons currently in fierce combat were clearly taken aback.

One of the Six-Armed Snake Demons reacted immediately; its six arms surged, and streams of black Demonic Qi poured into its curved blades.

Killing Storm!

This was the Six-Armed Snake Demon's signature skill; under the Six-Armed Snake Demon's wielding, the frequency of the six curved blades' movement increased sharply, and streaks of black blade light were released, wantonly striking the surroundings.

Wind Stealth!

As the opponent, Aixi narrowed her eyes, a flash of cyan light appeared on her body, and she seemed to transform into a Residual Shadow, stepping out of the Killing Storm's attack range first.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, this Six-Armed Snake Demon took three steps in two, immediately jumping down from the city wall.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred, and he condensed a Mental Seed, parasitizing it onto the Six-Armed Snake Demon.

This Mental Seed truly cost Li Zhangsheng quite a bit of Mental Power; according to his estimation, it could last for about one day.

While its companion was fleeing, the other Six-Armed Snake Demon also unleashed a Killing Storm; Round-Round could not dodge in time, and a large number of wounds were cut into its round body.

Round-Round let out a painful roar; fortunately, the Thick Fat trait mitigated a large amount of damage, otherwise, it would at least have been severely injured.

Even so, Round-Round lost the opportunity to pursue.

The Six-Armed Snake Demon jumped up, wanting to leap over the outer city wall, a smile still on its face.

Yet at this very moment, before the Six-Armed Snake Demon could land, Aixi bit onto one of its arms and pulled it directly back.

Before the Six-Armed Snake Demon could react, two massive giant claws magnified in its eyes, followed by a surge of intense pain, and it lost consciousness, falling into deep Darkness.

The Six-Armed Snake Demon's physique was far inferior to the Abyss Demon Dragon's; it was grabbed by both sides of its body by Adai and torn in half alive.

Adai shook its hands, throwing the Six-Armed Snake Demon's corpse onto the ground, wanting to go find trouble with the last Succubus.

The Succubus transformed into over a dozen figures, wanting to jump over the outer city wall, but unfortunately, its luck was not very good; it was hit by the light beam of the Light Blessing bird, exposing its true form.

Under the double-layered Light-attribute offensive, the Succubus lost a large amount of stamina, and before it could react, it was knocked back by the Crowned Blazing Bird.

The Succubus's face paled with terror, and its whole body trembled, looking exactly like a lost and helpless young girl, because six Leader-tier Demon Pets had surrounded it.

The Demon Pets naturally had no intention of cherishing the fairer sex; the Succubus's screams came to an abrupt end, and the dust settled.

This time, Li Zhangsheng utilized tactics to forcefully defeat five high-level demons and resolve three of them.

If the high-level demons had been united, they would not have been easily defeated by Li Zhangsheng.

Of course, this also had to do with the weakening of the Will of Heaven and Earth, otherwise, Li Zhangsheng truly could not have beaten five high-level demons.

After resolving the five invading high-level demons, Li Zhangsheng specifically left his own aura on the corpses of these three high-level demons to distinguish that they were his spoils of war.

Li Zhangsheng stopped worrying about the three high-level demon corpses, and after observing the situation, he began to support others in fighting against the high-level demons.

Just like Li Zhangsheng, in order not to affect others and also to reduce losses, dozens of Fourth and Fifth Rank Stronger individuals had split up this batch of high-level demons.

Among them, Qian Yuanfei had directly taken on six high-level demons and was vaguely holding the upper hand.

As for the others, most were fighting the high-level demons with great intensity, and for a time, it was hard to say who would lose, but there were also some who had already fallen into a disadvantage, and some even had Demon Pets sacrificed.

The person Li Zhangsheng supported was a Fourth-tier Instructor from Hongtao Academy; he had been pinning down two high-level demons, and at this moment, blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth, his face was pale, and he was clearly in a state of mental shock, but he was still gritting his teeth, fighting to the death without retreating.

He knew very well that if he retreated, it would be a disaster for those low-tier Monster Tamers; for the high-level demons to deal with them would be no different from slaughtering sheep.

The Hongtao Academy Instructor was pinning down a Balor and a Six-Armed Snake Demon respectively; originally, this Hongtao Academy Instructor was only dealing with the Balor, but who knew the Balor would luckily summon a Six-Armed Snake Demon, which was what plunged him into a crisis.

The Balor belongs to the large demons; a standing Balor is over 12 feet tall, its body burns with raging flames, its skin is usually dark red, and it likes to participate in battle with a long sword and a long whip.

The Balor possesses a Fire body; not only is it immune to Fire Element damage, but any Demon Pet that engages in melee combat with the Balor will also suffer fire damage.

When encountering strong resistance, the Balor usually teleports to another place first, and then strikes its opponent through spell-like abilities.

The most disgusting thing is that when a Balor dies, it will automatically cast Burning Body Explosion; all creatures within the range will be affected by the explosion, and it is very difficult to leave behind any items.

At this time, the Six-Armed Snake Demon unleashed a Killing Storm, and the Hongtao Academy Instructor had no choice but to command his Demon Pets to dodge.

The Balor revealed a cunning and cruel smile, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to lock onto his Life-Bound Demon Pet, wanting to seal the victory in one fell swoop.

The Hongtao Academy Instructor's expression changed, and he wanted to command his Life-Bound Demon Pet to dodge, but how could there be time, especially when his Life-Bound Demon Pet was in a state of having exhausted its previous strength and not yet regained new strength.

"My life is at an end!"

Watching his Life-Bound Demon Pet about to perish at the hands of the Balor, the Instructor of Hongtao Academy was filled with grief and wanted to issue his final order.

Suddenly, a giant ball of flesh slammed in from the side; its impact was so strong that it knocked the Balor back a distance.

At the same time, Aixi appeared behind the Marilith like a phantom, knocking the caught-off-guard Marilith toward Adai.

The Marilith watched helplessly as Adai swung its giant claws; it was as if it had actively thrown itself into them, colliding with Adai's giant claws.

Clatter—

The Marilith was as if made of tofu, directly pierced through by Adai's giant claws. When Adai withdrew its claws, a huge hole had appeared in the Marilith's chest and abdomen, devouring all of its vitality.

After Aixi and Adai joined forces to finish off the Marilith, the Balor was besieged by Kailan, Yuangungun, the Crowned Flame Bird, and the Light Blessing Bird, leaving it unable to fight back for a moment.

On the other side, the Instructor of Hongtao Academy looked at Li Zhangsheng with gratitude; if not for Li Zhangsheng's intervention, he would likely have become a corpse by now.

Given that the Balor had not yet died, the Instructor of Hongtao Academy had to suppress his words of gratitude and command his Demon Pet to join the siege.

The Balor had grievances it could not voice; especially after seeing the miserable state of the Marilith, its heart was filled with trembling, and the shadow of death loomed over it.

After dealing with the Marilith, Aixi and Adai also joined the crusade against the Balor.

Rumble—

Within a few breaths, the Balor could no longer hold on; its chest was likewise pierced by Adai's giant claws, following in the footsteps of the Marilith.

Rumble—

At the moment of death, the Balor emitted a brilliant white light, and red-tinged white flames erupted wildly; a rich sea of fire rose and exploded, venting crazily toward the surroundings.

This was the Burning Body Explosion, capable of inflicting extreme damage.

The flames swept rapidly toward the surroundings, covering a range of several dozen meters; it looked just like a super-giant fireball!

After maintaining for a few seconds, the flames slowly vanished, leaving only Adai collapsed on the ground.

As for the other Demon Pets, they had already retreated in advance just as Adai was about to strike the Balor, which is why they were not affected by the Burning Body Explosion.

Even though it was hit by the Burning Body Explosion, Adai did not suffer too much damage; this was related to the Crowned Flame Bird's Flame Resistance Halo, which not only enhanced flame resistance but also mitigated part of the damage brought by flames.

Of course, the strength of Adai's own constitution was also a key factor; otherwise, if it were a 'low-health' Demon Pet, even with the Flame Resistance Halo, there would be a risk of falling.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

The Instructor of Hongtao Academy immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Now is not the time for this; let's drive back this batch of Advanced Demons first before talking about anything else!"

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly waved his hand and immediately rushed toward the battlefield of Instructor Qian Yuanfei; he was still thinking about getting more Advanced Demon Hearts.

The commotion from the Balor's self-destruction was simply too great, and this batch of Advanced Demons were not deaf, so they hurriedly looked toward the direction of the explosion.

When they saw the two of them each leading their Demon Pets charging toward this side, those six Advanced Demons immediately felt that things were looking bad.

They were already being suppressed by Instructor Qian Yuanfei; if these two were added to the mix, how could they possibly survive?

At the first opportunity, the two Abyss Demon Dragons and one Balor took an attack with their bodies, hurriedly flapping their wings to fly out of the outer city wall, fleeing without looking back.

The other three demons followed suit, but they lacked wings and were not as thick-skinned as the Abyss Demon Dragons or the Balor, so their movements were naturally restricted.

Instructor Qian Yuanfei's Demon Pets immediately focused their fire on these three Advanced Demons, not giving them any chance to escape.

Seeing that Instructor Qian Yuanfei could handle it, Li Zhangsheng had to give up the idea of stealing kills, but this time he had become smarter, relying on Aixi's speed to continue stealing kills.

Aixi's task was very simple: just knock or drag back the Advanced Demons that wanted to escape.

However, with the situation clear, the quick-reacting Advanced Demons immediately abandoned their opponents and fled in a panic.

In the end, there were still slow-reacting or slow-moving Advanced Demons; two of them were successfully caught up to by Aixi, and they were subsequently beaten to death by Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng had a bountiful harvest, having killed a total of seven Advanced Demons.

Except for the first three Advanced Demons, the latter four were not Li Zhangsheng's credit alone; he would have to share some of the spoils with others.

However, Li Zhangsheng's goal was the Advanced Demon Hearts; he did not value the other materials.

Although one could purify the Bloodline of Advanced Demons, their bloodlines were saturated with chaotic and evil factors; once a Demon Pet absorbed their Spirit Essence, its intelligence would inevitably be greatly affected.

This was equivalent to a normal Demon Pet becoming an NC Demon Pet, and it would very likely become a creature even more mentally disabled and chaotic than a White Dragon.

After the great victory here, the Advanced Demons of the other four groups naturally sensed it, and without waiting for Li Zhangsheng and the others to come to support, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

However, it was inevitable that some 'rearguard' Advanced Demons were left behind forever.

After these Advanced Demons fled, the morale of the humans at Li Cheng Fortress soared; they exerted their remaining strength, dealing heavy casualties to the invading low-to-mid-level demons.

Woo—

A Top-tier Demon in the rear blew a horn; the desolate sound of the horn echoed through the heavens and earth, signaling a retreat.

The low-to-mid-level demons participating in the siege turned and ran, leaving their backs to the humans; the scene was chaotic, with some demons directly pushing those running in front to the ground, resulting in severe Stomp, accompanied by the final send-off from the humans.

After leaving behind a large number of corpses, the demons finally disappeared from the humans' field of vision.

Everyone at Li Cheng Fortress breathed a collective sigh of relief; some sat directly on the ground, gasping for air, while the wounded were gathered for treatment.

Under the instruction of Vice Governor Xiao Qing, some soldiers began to tally the losses and gains of this battle.
