Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 28 A Sixth-Order Flame Puppet? A Desperate Gamble! (First Update)
"Array up!"

Under Chu Zichen's command, the six members of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Squad of the Warrior rank formed a standard shuttle-shaped formation.

Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan were in front, Cai'er was on the side, Chu Zichen was in the middle, and Li Xuefei and Chen Ying'er were behind.

"Life Protection! Life Link! Life Encouragement!"

Chu Zichen waved his hand and released three support skills, which boosted his and the women's status to the peak, granting them three major buffs: life shield, damage sharing, and battle spirit encouragement.

With the accelerated flight support of the Azure Wave Technique, they quickly moved hundreds of meters away from Exorcism Pass and penetrated deep into the demon army.

Although the mage legions and magical cannons have cleared most of the obstacles for them, there are still quite a few that have slipped through the net.

Upon seeing these humans who dared to intrude into their army, the demons were enraged and launched attacks against them.

"Don't be in love with war!"

Chu Zichen quickly issued orders, leading everyone to avoid battle as much as possible. Taking advantage of their speed, they bypassed the demons blocking their way and headed straight for the location of the demon commander.

However, 30 seconds passed quickly, and the accelerated flight effect of the Azure Wave Technique gradually disappeared.

Chu Zichen and the others had to land back on the ground, and they had only traveled halfway, still halfway to the location of the demon commander.

Along their journey, they didn't know how many demons were waiting for them!

"Excuse me, we'll be taking our leave now! This decapitation operation will definitely be carried out by our Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Squadron Three!"

At this moment, Yang Wenzhao had already summoned his Starry Unicorn, which carried him and the magician Huang Yi as they continued to fly forward.

The assassin Xingxuan pulled out a piece of flying equipment from somewhere.

Summoner Liao Yu even summoned the phantom of the Savage Vermilion Bird, and led the priest along.

Soon, the third-class demon hunter squad quickly closed in on the demon commander's location.

“Perfect, you can scout ahead for us.”

Upon seeing this, Chu Zichen instead revealed a smile.

He was overjoyed to have the No. 3 Demon Hunter Squadron of the rank of Sergeant-level as his vanguard.

"Xuefei! Use Wind Wings!" He then gave the command to Li Xuefei.

"Yes! Wings of the Wind!"

The wind magic techniques that Li Xuefei had learned before came in handy at this moment. With the joint spellcasting with the wind elemental spirit, not only did she grow a pair of wings made of wind, but Chu Zichen and the others also received the blessing of the wind wings.

While the flight speed of Wind Wings is not as fast as Azure Wave Technique, it has the advantage of a longer duration, lasting up to 1 minute.

"Let's go! Follow behind the third-class demon hunter squad!"

Riding on his wings of wind, Chu Zichen took to the air and, with a command, continued to lead his team forward.

"Commander, something terrible has happened! We've fallen behind!"

Seeing this, the only remaining members of the Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Team No. 2 were filled with regret and frustration. How come none of them had any flying equipment, flying summons, or flying magic?
"It's okay, we can just fight our way overland!"

Long Haochen remained unfazed and summoned the enormous three-headed Haoyue, which carried the members of the second-level demon hunter team and sped forward.

……

As the three demon-hunting teams carried out their decapitation operations separately, eagle-eye magic spells followed closely behind them from above.

"Report! The third-class demon hunter squad has arrived at the location of the demon commander first!"

Soon, a magician reported this to Holy Spirit Heart.

"Very good. Keep a close eye on their movements. If they encounter any danger, immediately activate the space teleportation array to send them back."

The Holy Spirit nodded slightly and said solemnly.

He called it a blitzkrieg, with everyone only three minutes, precisely because the teleportation array could only last for three minutes. Once those three minutes were up and the teleportation array failed, the members of the demon-hunting team who had penetrated deep into the demon army would be beyond saving.

Meanwhile, the third demon hunter squad led by Yang Wenzhao had arrived at their destination and discovered the enormous and conspicuous demon commander.

"Strange, why are there no guards around the demon commander?"

Yang Wenzhao took the lead, assuming that the demon commander would be surrounded by many high-ranking demons as guards, but to his surprise, there wasn't a single demon among them.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
But time was of the essence, and he dared not hesitate. He led his demon hunters straight toward the demon commander.

"A bunch of insignificant ants dare to plot against me!"

Suddenly, the demon commander spoke in human language and let out a mocking laugh.

boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

Suddenly, pillars of scorching fire erupted from beneath the ground around the demon commander.

Three fiery puppets, each three meters tall and radiating crimson flames, appeared, each possessing the strength of a sixth-tier being.

The Flame Puppet was originally the personal guard of the Flame Lion Demon Anluo Xian. Unexpectedly, they were sent to serve as guards for the demon commander!

"Oops!"

Yang Wenzhao and the others' expressions changed drastically. A single sixth-tier fire puppet was difficult for them to deal with, let alone three fire puppets here!

The three fire golems launched an attack simultaneously, the blazing flames reflecting on their faces, making them directly feel the threat of death.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Suddenly, streaks of silver light flashed, and Yang Wenzhao and the others vanished from their spot.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves transported back to the Exorcism Pass!

This spatial teleportation was just in time!

They were so close; some of them might have lost their lives.

"I didn't expect An Luoxian to send his personal guards to protect the demon commander. It seems that this decapitation operation is going to fail."

Upon receiving the latest intelligence, the Holy Spirit's expression turned grave.

"Commander, should we immediately teleport the first and second sergeant-level demon hunter squads back as well? There's only one minute left before the formation ends!"

Lan Yanyu, who was in charge of controlling the entire space teleportation array, asked.

"No need, just keep a close eye on their situation."

Holy Spirit's eyes flickered, but he did not rush to withdraw the other two demon-hunting teams.

Meanwhile, while Yang Wenzhao and his group encountered the Flame Puppet and were teleported away in time, Chu Zichen and his group had already approached the location of the Demon Commander.

"Three sixth-tier fire puppets! Commander Chu, what should we do?"

When Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan, who were at the front, saw this scene, they immediately stopped and felt a sense of unease.

"Go! We'll break through from three directions and make sure to take down the demon commander within the last minute."

Chu Zichen, however, spoke with absolute certainty.

"Blessing of Life x3!"

Three beams of green magical light landed on Li Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, and Cai'er respectively, doubling their combat power once again for one minute.

Chu Zichen was determined to make a desperate gamble in this last minute and eliminate the demon commander hiding behind the three fire puppets!
