Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Twenty-One: Iron Slaughter, Iron Carnage

In an instant, there were shouts of men and neighing of horses, billowing black smoke rose, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning flesh!

"Ah, fire... Help...!"

"Moo..."

Torches, their flames blazing fiercely, burned intensely throughout the camp, spreading like red serpents to every corner.

Once the convoy stops and sets up camp, if an accident occurs, it is completely beyond human control, and panic instantly spreads throughout the camp.

The servants scattered and fled.

The 'Black Rock Bull' was frightened by the fire and charged around everywhere!

In an instant, the entire camp was in chaos, with people and horses scattered and running amok. Even the sect leader's shouts of "fetch water to put out the fire" were to no avail.

"Men, follow me!"

Smoke billowed, and a burly man, seemingly riding a ferocious beast, brandished a machete and shouted with a savage grin.

Rumble!

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves pounding the ground could be heard.

Under the firelight, two burly men riding armored horses, followed by seven or eight other figures, rushed into the camp.

Another burly man with a scarred face, wielding a sledgehammer, shouted with a ferocious expression.

"Leave no one behind!"

He struck a nearby handyman disciple in the back with his hammer. The disciple was sent flying dozens of meters away as if struck by a bull, his fate unknown.

'Flowing Cloud Sword Technique!'

A flash of sword light appeared, and a bandit who was slashing around was about to swing his knife.

The next instant, he found his gaze rapidly descending.

Before me lay a headless body, blood gushing from its neck.

It looks like his body.

"Hahaha, there's another expert here. Come on, let me play with you!" A savage glint flashed in the eyes of the burly man with the hammer.

Zhang Yun and Huo Dahai, who were on night watch in the fourth squad, were dozing off and had not yet fully woken up when three or five thieves crept up and started slashing at them without saying a word.

Huo Dahai died on the spot, but fortunately Zhang Yun was quick-witted and rolled away to avoid it.

But he was soon surrounded by four thieves. Although the four thieves were not very strong, he was outnumbered and covered in blood. He was about to collapse...

As for the Ninth Squad...

"Ninth Squad, assemble here immediately!" Li Feng had already unleashed his full power, and even the thick smoke couldn't hide the blood-red light emanating from his body.

Han Yi hadn't dared to sleep soundly in this desolate place, and being always cautious, he had already woken up when the voice rang out.

He, Pan Sheng, and Wang Meng were already resting close together, so they immediately joined Li Feng.

Inside the camp, black smoke filled the air, shadowy figures loomed about, and shouts shook the heavens, as if countless enemies were invading. Han Yi could only see values ​​like '12-15' and '11-14' floating above his head from time to time.

"It's the Black Wind Stronghold bandits! Fire a signal arrow, form a breakout formation, and retreat first!"

call out

The whistling arrows made a sharp, piercing sound that carried for miles through the mountains and forests.

The two men on horseback at the head of the group changed their expressions drastically upon hearing the sound.

"Third brother, finish this quickly!" The Ninth Squad fought and retreated. Li Feng's blood surged, and the strange phenomenon of his clothes being covered in blood attracted everyone's attention. Many servant disciples crowded around him.

"As expected, the Blood Refining stage is indeed worthy of being called a Quasi-Martial Master... Li Feng, who unleashed his full strength and was fully armed, reached a value of '70~70'!"

"My strength is still too weak. It seems I've been too lax in my daily life..." Han Yi reflected on himself.

The Ninth Squad became increasingly bloated, and several hidden arrows would occasionally strike from the darkness, but they were all exposed under Li Feng's shield. Of course, the servant disciples on the outer perimeter were not so lucky. Every now and then, someone would be dragged into the darkness, followed by a scream!

"There, it seems to be the fourth squad!" Pan Sheng pointed to the left front.

"Let's go, let's rescue them. Now is not the time for conflict; every extra person means extra strength." "Ha!"

Han Yi shouted and finished off the last enemy with a powerful split-hit attack. His long sword was stained with blood, dripping down. Practice makes perfect. He was a little scared the first time, but after getting used to it, he wasn't so nervous anymore.

"Thank, I'm saved... Thank you..."

Zhang Yun spoke incoherently, his body covered in blood, his leather armor shattered beyond recognition by sharp weapons.

"You should go back and rest first..." Han Yi shook his head.

Not far away, Song Qing, the captain of the fourth squad, had long lost his former arrogance. His hair was disheveled, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, making him look like a beggar.

Han Yi glanced at the hammer-wielding giant fighting, whose overall strength was '20 (45) ~ 35 (65)' floating above his head.

宋青的综合实力不过是‘50~63’，这用锤的山贼壮汉的综合实力比他高，再加上还有旁边还有一个综合实力为‘40（55）~55（85）’的持刀大汉压阵，宋青自然不是对手。

"That burly man with the knife is incredibly strong!"

Han Yi's pupils contracted; he was considering his options.

Although Han Yi also wanted to complete the mission as much as possible, when the gap in strength between him and the enemy was too large, fearless sacrifice was meaningless. Moreover, he had the system with him, and as long as he could survive, he would be able to deal with any enemy sooner or later!

"There are parentheses too?" Han Yi suddenly realized after careful observation that there was also a value '15~30' floating beside the armored horse under the big man, and the big man's strength was only '50~60'!

"Both humans and demonic beasts have their own stats, but a well-tamed demonic beast will also be considered part of the overall strength. If there is an opportunity in the future, could I tame some demonic beasts to increase my strength...?" Han Yi had an idea. He was eager to improve his strength.

"That's Tie Lu, the third leader of Black Wind Stronghold?" Li Feng stared intently at the two men. "And the second leader, Tie Sha?"

"We're preparing to provide support, so be careful!" He explained to Han Yi and the other two with a serious expression, "See their mount, the 'Black Wind Horse'? A large part of the reason Black Wind Stronghold got its name is because of this 'Black Wind Horse'!"

The 'Black Wind Horses' are agile, fast as the wind, and have extraordinary endurance. At its peak, the Black Wind Stronghold was a band of dozens of 'Black Wind Horses' who were notorious for burning, killing, and looting. Neither the government nor the sects could do anything about them. In addition, the Black Wind Stronghold was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at one time it made the children in the surrounding villages for hundreds of miles stop crying.

Meanwhile, the second-in-command, Tessa, had already noticed the arrival of the Ninth Squad.

"Third brother, stop playing around!" Tie Sha shouted with a fierce expression.

He turned his horse around, a mocking look on his face: "I've long heard of the name 'Flame Shield' Li Feng of the Crimson Flame Sect. Today, let's see if your shield is harder, or my blade is sharper!"

Boom boom boom.

The ground trembled violently.

The broadsword was raised high by the iron spike.

A black steed carrying iron charged toward the formation of the Ninth Squad!
