Chapter 883: Let Them Come Out and Get Beaten

After a brief silence, the previously calm scene changed again.

Someone was about to continue attacking.

Tang Luo took out the Profound Transformation, turned it into a sword, and with a backhand thrust downward, he executed the Thousand Hands Unable to Defend.

Sword shadows fell across the sky, flowing over,

Those god-demon walkers who were about to continue attacking, as well as those traitors, were pierced by the sword shadows, blood spurted out, dyeing the surrounding ground red.

On the spot, they were converted by Tang Luo, without even a chance to resist or show any defiance.

Naturally, more than just those fifty-plus god-demon walkers came to besiege this base.

Over fifty god-demon walkers plus over a hundred traitors made up the entire force attacking this base.

It's a pity that these people were nothing but cannon fodder sent to die.

Even if Tang Luo and his companions hadn't happened to show up and intervene, it would still be the same.

Because Ao Yu is here, although his strength has actually weakened, thrashing these people is still no problem.

These people probably didn't know that this base harbored a Demon-Slaying Dragon.

As for this world overall, its strength has been continually increasing, yet it still falls short in some aspects.

In this world, Ao Yu could actually call himself king and hegemon—if it weren't for the unexpected descent of the Heaven's Initiate Knight.

"Sigh, there are still so many people eager to cause trouble, yet they show no remorse." Tang Luo sighed, "Do I really have to step in and convert them? Where exactly is this 'Demon Lord'?"

A true Demon Lord shouldn't, upon appearance, unleash demonic flames that overwhelm the sky and completely subjugate everything, should he?

As a result, out of over a hundred, only twenty-plus said "I submit" and prostrated themselves, while the remaining over a hundred still intended to keep attacking.

This is hardly Demon Lord-like at all.

As the Thousand Hands Unable to Defend descended, those twenty-plus god-demon walkers dared not move a muscle, not even daring to breathe, for fear that Tang Luo would casually convert them.

The physical conversion by the demonic monk Tang Xuanzang was clear to them; some had even witnessed it many times.

Moreover, the deaths of those god-demon walkers actually spilled out some skill light points.

However, Tang Luo and his companions are now at full skill capacity, with no intention of changing skills.

Without even glancing at them, they let those skill light points completely dissipate—extremely extravagant.

Other non-god-demon walkers naturally couldn't see those light points.

Without further ado, Ao Yu grabbed the remaining cultivators and first led them away.

Perhaps before long, the World-Exterminating Heavenly Demon Legion will arrive; these people might merely be the vanguard.

If a real fight broke out, Ao Yu wouldn't be able to attend to these cultivators.

Tang Luo and his companions, however, stayed behind and had a good chat with the remaining god-demon walkers.

The scale of this campaign mission far exceeds that of a normal campaign mission.

No, it should be said that it completely surpasses the usual number of participants in god-demon game missions.

For a typical mission, having ten god-demon walkers complete it together is already considered quite a lot.

Even for a campaign mission, it usually splits into just two opposing camps, or multiple less-opposed camps that could potentially cooperate.

This time, Tang Luo's side is normal, with his own team forming a single camp.

The other camp, however, is abnormal, with the number of god-demon walkers reaching over three hundred!

When they first appeared, everyone almost thought it was an all-out war between Eastern and Western god-demon walkers.

But after looking and counting, it turned out to be only over three hundred—thank goodness.

It wasn't an all-out war.

Yes, the number of over three hundred god-demon walkers is really not many; in recent years, their numbers have far surpassed what they once were.

Not to mention looking at the whole real world; even in some fairly famous big cities, there might be several hundred god-demon walkers hiding.

After all, god-demon walkers attract each other—well, gathering to communicate and exchange resources is beneficial for most of them.

Although over three hundred god-demon walkers are hardly many in the total god-demon walker population,

but having over three hundred god-demon walkers enter a mission all at once, all belonging to the same camp, is an unprecedented major event.

In past missions, they came in twos and threes, at most a few dozen god-demon walkers competing on the same stage.

This number, to the mission world, is essentially a drop in the ocean; integrating into the mission world poses no difficulty.

Yet over three hundred god-demon walkers, with their style clashing with the mission world, stand out glaringly.

Fortunately, this problem was quickly resolved.

Because shortly after over three hundred god-demon walkers entered the mission world, before they could even get into an argument, the Plague Knight descended.

After killing a dozen or so to establish authority, the Plague Knight easily absorbed these god-demon walkers.

Besides its own strength being overwhelming to the point of irresistibility, there is an important reason why these god-demon walkers so readily submitted to the Plague Knight.

That is, this Plague Knight is a Transcendent! A former god-demon walker!

He is very clear about the identities and origins of these god-demon walkers.

Because he is a Transcendent, the Plague Knight quickly learned what the mission of these god-demon walkers entails.

He simply divided these god-demon walkers into several batches, letting them cooperate with this world's traitors, each exerting their abilities to complete the mission.

This seems to carry a certain degree of trial meaning.

Encountering a Transcendent not only caused no harm, but it seemed they even clung to his thigh?

Regardless of what they thought inside, a group of god-demon walkers diligently completing the mission is certain.

Their mission was originally to exterminate the world, which aligns with the Plague Knight's purpose.

"I see." Upon hearing their words, Tang Luo nodded.

The twenty-plus god-demon walkers felt somewhat more at ease in their hearts.

Transcendent! Transcendent, aren't you afraid?

Even if you, Tang Xuanzang, are the strongest among the God-Demon Walkers, facing a Transcendent, you probably don't have much power to resist.

Thinking of their backer, these God-Demon Walkers also gained some confidence.

As for why they knelt upon seeing Tang Luo, that's Tang Luo's accumulated might causing an "instinctive reaction." Moreover, the backer is the backer, not present, so of course they first kneel to save their lives.

Fact proved their choice was absolutely correct.

Look, they not only saved their lives but also revealed that they have a backer behind them.

Let the opponent hesitate to act— in their view, there should be at least a bit of that.

Your side has the sole G-level God-Demon Walker Tang Xuanzang; we here also have Transcendents, only stronger.

The so-called G-level is the grade assigned by Western God-Demon Walkers to Tang Luo, full name "GOD", God.

Almost all God-Demon Walkers feel that Transcendents will definitely be stronger than the sole God-level.

Such speculation is actually not problematic.

Because setting aside Tang Luo, this obviously abnormal one, the currently strongest Red Essence Daoist is still no match for Zhu Bajie.

And if the Plague Knight possesses strength not inferior to the War Knight who walked out of the black cocoon, even if somewhat inferior, as long as the gap isn't large, they are still stronger than Zhu Bajie.

One plus one minus, the strength difference is truly not small.

As for whether all Transcendents have such great strength, it's hard to say.

Given that the Transcendents Tang Luo and company have seen are all not weak, just a weird "comic relief" character not strong—but that isn't their true level, making it hard to judge their actual strength.

Transcendents being stronger than God-Demon Walkers is basically a confirmed fact.

Of course, even if they inwardly affirm this fact, those twenty-plus God-Demon Walkers dare not show any fear before Tang Luo; trembling is absolutely impossible.

Still, the saying holds: a strong backer doesn't make oneself strong.

Moreover, this backer may not be reliable.

The God-Demon Walkers' greatest inner hope is that after Tang Luo finishes questioning, he'll treat them like a fart and dispel them.

They also won't return to the Plague Knight to continue charging forward, lest they be affected by the pond fish and meet tragedy.

However, providing Tang Luo's detailed information to the Plague Knight should still be possible—if the Plague Knight finds them and asks.

My fate is commanded by Heaven, not by myself.

You say what you say, we know everything and speak everything without reservation. This is not wallgrass but tumbleweed.

Otherwise? What else can be done? Undertaking this mission, caught between two unbeatable forces, they are also desperate.

"Can you find that Plague Knight?" Tang Luo asked, "And the other two knights, are they Death and Famine?"

The God-Demon Walker pushed forward to talk with Tang Luo nodded: "The other two, indeed are the Death Knight and the Famine Knight."

Zhu Bajie's guess was correct; the Apocalypse Demon really are the remaining three of the Apocalypse Knights: Plague, Death, and Famine.

However, the three Apocalypse Knights are not inseparable comrades.

They openly and secretly contend, each wanting to solely occupy this world.

After the Plague Knight recruited these God-Demon Walkers, he warned them that Death and Famine are not like him, Transcendents.

Toward the God-Demon Walkers, he is not as easy to talk to; only by following him, the Plague Knight, is the proper way.

If not for the open and covert struggle among the three knights, this world might not have endured so long.

"Does this world have something special?" Zhu Bajie guessed.

It aroused the three knights' covetousness; none wants to let go, desiring sole possession, or perhaps it's just a pure clash of anger, originally a normal world, coincidentally turned into the knights' battleground?

"Just find that Plague Knight and ask, then we'll know." Tang Luo said, "You guys lead the way."

That "person in charge" kept shaking his head: "We don't know where the Plague Knight is."

"Then what did you just nod about?"

"That… is also about the other two knights." That God-Demon Walker said, gritting his teeth.

The Plague Knight didn't leave them any "contact method."

He only gave them exemption from being attacked by the Plague Legion, so only the Plague Knight can contact them—unless you have some special ability, you can't find the Plague Knight.

Moreover, although the three knights' legions rampage in this world, their true forms are actually very low-key, rarely appearing in person.

The Apocalypse Knights' attack method is thus: first send out the Apocalypse Legion to accomplish over eighty percent of the work, then the true form appears once to settle the situation.

The Plague Knight seen by these God-Demon Walkers is not the true form, but an emerald-green knight formed from condensed emerald-green poison mist; they don't even know what the Plague Knight looks like.

"Like that." Tang Luo said, "Then assign you a mission: try to find those knights, and after finding them, let them come out to get beaten."

Saying that, he didn't care about their reactions, leapt onto the white dragon head that Ao Yu Lie transformed into, and directly left.

Leaving over twenty God-Demon Walkers to survive the aftermath.

Being alive is truly great.
