177: Explosive Arrow

After settling the heavily injured Centurion and two lost children in a safe dwelling, Lu Ming immediately rushed towards the Tianshi City Demon Suppression Division.

On the way, Lu Ming directly took out the low-grade Spirit Treasure, the Wind Spirit Jade Pendant, and then channeled a surge of True Qi into it.

The next moment, the surface of the Wind Spirit Jade Pendant emitted a soft white light, and a swirling force of wind began to rotate around Lu Ming, the wind howling; feeling his body suddenly lighten, he looked down to see that, with the blessing of this spiritual wind, his entire body was a foot off the ground, suspended.

With a slight thought, the next second, the spiritual wind, which had been maintaining its position, carried Lu Ming rapidly towards the Demon Suppression Division; with the help of this Spirit Treasure, his current speed was more than double his running speed.

Only the swift howling of the wind was heard as Lu Ming's figure transformed into an afterimage and sped away.

Tianshi City Demon Suppression Division.

As a battlefield for Dao Realm powerhouses, even though both sides' targets were each other, the destructive power generated by the residual shockwaves alone was terrifying enough.

Collapsed buildings were everywhere, affected by the residual power, they crumbled into large areas of ruins.

Large sections of the Demon Suppression Division's buildings were destroyed, and the sturdy stone walls, built of bluestone, were scattered on the ground in pieces.

At the center of the battlefield, a figure clad in silver armor and holding a long sword stood atop a pile of ruins, and not far from him, a massive coiled snake demon twisted its Demonic Qi-filled body, seemingly contending with a certain force.

The Red Scale Snake Matriarch let out a sharp hiss, its enormous snake body exuding extremely dense Demonic Qi, and the snake scales shimmered with an eerie red light, as its body twisted, it slammed into a side.

Just as those eerie red lights were about to exceed a certain range, a large number of crimson Formation patterns suddenly appeared in the air; the scorching Formation patterns, like molten lava, interconnected, actually blocking the Red Scale Snake Matriarch's repeated impacts.

And at this moment, if anyone were to look at Wu Mingjian, who stood motionless, they would see the Formation core of the Tiangang Exorcism Formation continuously operating beneath his feet; this complex Formation, under his control, transformed into a barrier that confined the Red Scale Snake Matriarch, trapping her within.

Similarly, in the stalemate, Wu Mingjian was also unable to attend to anything else, only able to focus on maintaining the Formation and clashing with the Red Scale Snake Matriarch.

"Wu Mingjian, do you think trapping me will give you an opportunity? Don't be so delusional, those great demons under my command are not something your Demon Suppression Division's mediocre talents can stop. I want to see how many great demons your forces can hold back." The Red Scale Snake Matriarch was trapped within, unable to break through for a long time, which made her feel incredibly vexed.

However, she was not in a hurry, she had seen the destruction of the Formation in the south, but deep down, she still had much dissatisfaction, logically speaking, at this moment, all four Formations should have been broken.

Wu Mingjian gave no reply, he stared coldly at the Red Scale Snake Matriarch, forming hand seals, and once again channeled the power of the Formation.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a vibrating sound, the entire encircling Formation lit up, crimson light radiating like scorching flames; this Formation was originally created by the Demon Suppression Division to counter powerful demons, and naturally had a strong suppressive effect on the Red Scale Snake Matriarch.

Wherever the crimson glow reached, the pervasive dense Demonic Qi was immediately suppressed, and this made the Red Scale Snake Matriarch even more frantic.

Just as both sides were engaged in a struggle, a bear demon approached; it was the Peak Realm Demon that had destroyed the Wangtian Tower from South Street and rushed over.

"Kill that human for me, don't be afraid, he can't move now." The Red Scale Snake Matriarch, seeing this, showed a human-like look of joy in her snake eyes.

Roar!

The bear demon let out a roar, then took steps and charged towards Wu Mingjian, who was located on the ruins.

Seeing the charging bear demon, Wu Mingjian's indifferent pupils finally showed a slight change.

"Stop that bear demon, don't let it get close to Lord!" At the same time, the personal guards, who were fighting fiercely with other demons in the vicinity, naturally also noticed the bear demon.

As the shouts rang out, two figures leaped out, brandishing long sabers and slashing forward.

Clang!

The sharp blades struck the bear demon, emitting a sound like metal, and sparks flew instantly; the two personal guards, who had struck with all their might, felt their arms go numb.

They looked at the spot where their blades had struck in surprise, not even a single mark was left.

Before the two could make their next move, the bear demon suddenly swung its arm, and with just one blow, it sent both of them flying.

The gap between the Initial Realm and the Limit Realm was like a chasm; even if the two fought to the death, they could barely hinder the bear demon at all.

Seeing the bear demon less than ten meters from Wu Mingjian, the demon used all its limbs, opening its bloody maw as if to pounce directly.

Many personal guards' eyes were bloodshot with rage, wishing they could rush over immediately, but they were unable to shake off the entangled demons, and could only watch helplessly.

Whoosh!

A whistling sound of air being torn apart rang out; before anyone had noticed, a red afterglow arced through the air, aimed directly at the bear demon.

Pfft!

With the enhancement of powerful force, the flying arrow accurately hit the bear demon's body, and the terrifying impact directly sent the bear demon, who had leaped into mid-air, flying away.

The bear demon's massive body crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a large crater in the ground, which was full of shattered stones and wood splinters.

Its flesh was pierced by the arrow, and the bear demon shook its head, it stood up angrily, and before it could let out a roar, there was another thunderous boom, and even the ground trembled slightly several times.

The explosion's flames instantly engulfed the bear demon, and the surging airwaves swept around like a hurricane.

"This..." A group of personal guards looked on in surprise, following the direction from which the arrow had come, they saw a young man not far away lowering his longbow.

"Finally made it." Lu Ming let out a sigh of relief; although he didn't understand the current situation, he knew that the bear demon couldn't be allowed to get closer.

With the crisis temporarily averted, Wu Mingjian looked at Lu Ming, who had come to reinforce, and couldn't help but show a look of emotion in his heart.

He knew the pressure faced by the four main streets, but he never expected that the other party would still be able to free up forces.

Roar!

The bear demon rushed out of the explosion's flames, and a large chunk of flesh was directly blown off the spot where the arrow had pierced it; however, this arrow did not cause too much damage to the bear demon, but rather ignited its fury.

Its massive bear body flew out like a cannonball, the residual impact creating spiderweb-like cracks on the ground, and the bear demon charged straight towards Lu Ming.

Watching the increasingly close bear demon, Lu Ming could clearly see the brutal killing intent contained in its crimson beast eyes.

However, he remained unmoved, continuing to nock an arrow, aiming the tip of the Blazing Flame Arrow in the direction of the bear demon.

The bowstring was drawn to a full moon, and as True Qi was infused into the arrow, the next second, Lu Ming released his fingers, and the arrow shot out.
