"A seventh-tier demon, worth a thousand merit points, not a bad deal!" Moonlight's voice pierced through the smoke of battle.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yuehui with one arm around Cai'er's slender waist and the other holding the Thunder Sword, its blade wreathed in leaping lightning.

Little Rachel, puffing up her cheeks, sat on his shoulder, waving her tiny fists at Bloodthirsty Beta.

"Commander! Deputy Commander! Are you alright?" Wang Yuanyuan shouted with joy.

"A mere seventh-tier demon can't hurt me." Moonlight smiled calmly, her gaze locking onto Bloodthirsty Beta's neck like lightning—where a delicate little box was tied with a metal rope.

(Could it be that one?)

A glint flashed in Yuehui's eyes, and a confident smile curved her lips.

"Brothers, get ready to harvest the elite demons!"

Moonlight Pine Tree Ploughs for a Child, Thunder Sword Holds Level, Tip Pointing Directly at Bloodthirsty Beta.

"understand!"

Lu Xi raised his staff high, and a golden rain of angelic blessings instantly enveloped the entire group.

Han Yu activated three auras simultaneously, with the brilliance of Power Strike, Faith, and Spirit Gathering shining brightly together.

The three space gems on Wang Yuanyuan's Giant Spirit God Shield shone with silver light.

"Sky-Splitting Cannon!"

Wang Yuanyuan launched the first attack, unleashing a silver beam of light from her giant shield, the power of space tearing through the air to strike the demons directly.

Bloodthirsty Beta finally snapped out of its shock—it couldn't understand why its long-planned, all-out sneak attack had failed to kill the human.

But the dignity of a high-ranking demon race cannot be challenged by these humans!
Roar--!
Bloodthirsty Beta let out a deafening roar, its massive body deftly dodging Wang Yuanyuan's Sky-Splitting Cannon attack.

The giant claw, gleaming with a cold light, hurtled straight at Wang Yuanyuan's face with a sharp whooshing sound!

"Come here!"

At the critical moment, a dazzling milky-white light emanated from Long Haochen's chest.

The power of the Holy Guiding Furnace instantly enveloped the Bloodthirsty Beta, abruptly altering its attack trajectory.

The claws that were originally meant to tear Wang Yuanyuan apart suddenly twisted 180 degrees and turned to attack Long Haochen instead.

"Humph!"

Han Yu flashed forward, and a heavy shield stood erect in front of Long Haochen.

The wall of holy light solidified instantly, radiating a dazzling golden light.

boom--! ! !
With a deafening crash, Han Yu was sent flying by the violent force.

But protected by the wall of holy light, he landed steadily and unharmed.

At the same time, Long Haochen drew both swords simultaneously.

Blue Rain and the Hibiscus Sword ignited with blazing white holy flames, drawing a perfect cross trajectory in the air as they slashed fiercely towards Bloodthirsty Beta!

A blazing white cross-shaped sword light ripped through the sky. Bloodthirsty Beta hastily raised its forelimbs to block, and the moment its dark keratin layer came into contact with the holy flame, it emitted a piercing "hissing" sound.

In the blink of an eye, a shadowy figure flashed behind the demon.

Cai'er's dark gold dagger, like a venomous snake, pierced straight at the back of Bloodthirsty Beta's neck.

This strike was as fast as lightning; the tip of the dagger even tore through the air!
Roar--!
Bloodthirsty Beta's fur suddenly stood on end, and bluish-black demonic light burst forth from the gaps in its scales.

It actually gave up fighting back and poured all its magic into defense!
Keng!
Amidst the crisp sound of metal clashing against stone, Cai'er's thrust, powerful enough to pierce through fine steel, was actually deflected!

With a twist of her slender waist, she retreated as lightly as a falling leaf, barely avoiding the burst of demonic light shockwave.

"This defense!" Wang Yuanyuan gasped.

Chirp chirp chirp—!
The cries of a thousand birds suddenly echoed across the battlefield, and the piercing sound of electricity sent chills down everyone's spines.

Lu Xi turned around abruptly and saw that Yuehui's entire body was engulfed by violent lightning. Countless arcs of electricity danced wildly on the Thunder Sword like living things, and the dazzling electric light made his figure look like a thunder god descending to earth.

"Chidori Stream - Raikiri!"

Moonlight took a step forward, and his figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and his figure had already appeared three meters behind Bloodthirsty Beta. Bloodthirsty Beta's massive body suddenly froze; it turned its head with difficulty, its blood-red pupils filled with disbelief:
"Who are you?"

"Leader of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Squad - Moonshine".

As the cold voice fell, Yuehui slowly straightened up, and the Thunder Sword clattered back into its sheath.

The lightning that danced around him gradually dissipated, and the piercing cry of the thousand birds also vanished.

The members of the Demon Hunter team stared dumbfounded at the two figures facing off in the center of the battlefield, completely bewildered by what had happened.

Why did the captain suddenly sheathe his sword during what should have been the most intense life-or-death duel?

However, the next moment, they understood the answer.

On the massive body of the Bloodthirsty Beta, a thin, charred line slowly emerged from its right chest to its left waist.

The mark was initially as thin as a hair, but it expanded in the blink of an eye.

With a soft "hiss," the seventh-tier demon's body slowly shifted along the scorch mark, finally crashing to the ground in two halves. The cut was charred black, yet not a single drop of blood splattered out.

With a calm expression, Yuehui walked to the corpse, skillfully cut open its chest, and took out a seventh-order magic crystal that glowed with blood-red light.

Then he removed the metal box hanging around its neck and finally put the entire corpse into his spatial ring.

"Don't stand there! Burn the grain carts and evacuate immediately!" Yuehui's voice startled everyone.

The members of the demon hunter team then seemed to wake from a dream and began to take action.

But in everyone's mind, the shocking scene from just now kept replaying—that lightning-fast movement, that astonishing sword strike!
"We are indeed not yet capable of fighting alongside our commander."

……

After reducing all the demon's supply wagons to ashes, Moonbeam immediately shot a dazzling bolt of lightning into the sky.

Evacuate at full speed!
The ten demon-hunting teams quickly dispersed, choosing not to return the way they came, but instead speeding away into the distance before re-entering the mountains via a hidden route on the other side of the Demon-Hunting Mountains.

Shortly after Yuehui and the others evacuated—

"boom!"

A blazing red beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating the still-burning wreckage of the grain carts.

The figure of the Flame Lion Demon Anluoxian appeared in the firelight, angrily surveying the mess on the ground.

"Despicable humans! Lacking any sense of honor, resorting to sneak attacks!"

An Luo bent down and sniffed the residual energy fluctuations in the air, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

The familiar aura of thunder made it instantly recognize its opponent.

"It's that kid who uses lightning again!"

……

Upon returning to Exorcism Pass, the ten demon-hunting teams received high praise from Gu Jin.

They publicly praised their outstanding performance and promised to assess the task rewards as soon as possible.

After the brief reports, each demon-hunting team returned to their respective barracks to rest.

Back in the barracks, Long Haochen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Commander, do we need to hand over the box we found on Bloodthirsty Beta?"

Hearing this, Yuehui chuckled and patted Long Haochen on the shoulder: "Haochen, your integrity is truly rare. But have you forgotten what the team leader said?"

He looked around at everyone and said, "All spoils of war obtained on the battlefield belong to the Demon Hunter Corps. This is a rule established by the Temple Alliance."

"Besides, aren't you curious about what's inside the box that a seventh-tier demon would personally guard?"

As soon as Yuehui uttered those words, even the usually aloof Cai'er couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

Yuehui surveyed the expectant expressions on everyone's faces, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

His slender fingers gently rested on the clasp of the metal box.

"click"

With a soft click, the lid of the box, made of special metal, was slowly lifted—
