27: Reinforcements arrive

“No good, if this continues, Uncle Zhao will definitely lose.” Lu Ming cried out in his heart, immediately growing anxious.

Even if he was full of Qi and at his Peak, trying to intervene in a battle of this Rank would be extremely dangerous!

What’s more, his True Qi was now less than one-tenth of its original amount. Going up there would be no different from throwing his life away!

Damn it!

Lu Ming gritted his teeth. The only method he could think of now was to infuse demon Lifespan to improve his Martial Skill.

But currently, the only Martial Skill he could improve was Subduing Dragon Overlord Saber. According to his judgment, even if he raised it to the Limit Realm, there would still be a limit.

Facing the current situation, Lu Ming wished he had learned a few more Cultivation Techniques.

Having a large amount of demon Lifespan but no Cultivation Technique to improve his cultivation made him feel a deep sense of crisis.

As if to confirm Lu Ming’s guess, the battle in the center of the square suddenly changed.

“Zhao Bufan, just surrender and die. You can’t escape today.” Chen Zhong grinned, his fist techniques becoming increasingly swift and fierce, constantly forcing Zhao Bufan to retreat.

Yan Qi’s sharp claws also spun, each move aimed at Zhao Bufan’s vital points!

Zhao Bufan parried left and right, his face grave. Suddenly, Chen Zhong unleashed a straight punch. This punch was incredibly fast, striking directly at Zhao Bufan’s left shoulder!

Bang!

With a dull thud, this punch forcefully sent Zhao Bufan retreating over ten meters. His condensed True Qi was scattered. After barely stabilizing himself, Zhao Bufan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Although his strength was not weak, he found it difficult to withstand the frantic attacks of two Extremity Realm martial artists.

Zhao Bufan’s expression became somewhat grim, the situation growing increasingly dire!

“Hahahaha, Zhao Bufan, you have this day too.” Yan Qi burst into maniacal laughter upon seeing Zhao Bufan injured, the killing intent in his eyes completely undisguised.

As he spoke, Yan Qi and Chen Zhong subtly surrounded Zhao Bufan, one in front and one behind, giving him no chance to escape.

Facing such a perilous situation, Zhao Bufan instead calmed down. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and, as if he had some trump card, revealed a mysterious smile.

“Do you really think I would come with just this many people, knowing full well this was a trap?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong and Yan Qi’s expressions both changed slightly. However, in the next moment, Chen Zhong’s slightly changed expression returned to normal, his gaze sharply fixed on Zhao Bufan.

“He’s trying to scare us, don’t believe him.” Chen Zhong sneered.

In his opinion, Zhao Bufan was merely struggling in his death throes. Moreover, even if he truly had preparations, at this point, he couldn’t easily retreat.

Compared to the Demon Suppression Division, their Tie Sha Sect only had some influence locally. If they truly allowed the other party to spread the news, everyone in their Tie Sha Sect would be branded as colluding with demons.

“It seems you’re also gambling. I don’t know what benefits you can gain from this, but I can tell you clearly, your Tie Sha Sect is finished.” Zhao Bufan threatened coldly.

Chen Zhong’s face was gloomy as he tried to discern something from Zhao Bufan’s face, but unfortunately, there was nothing but that cold sneer.

The situation seemed to be at a stalemate, Chen Zhong didn’t know what he was thinking.

“What are you hesitating for? Let’s go together and kill this guy.” Yan Qi growled in a sharp voice.

The scar Zhao Bufan left on his face during the battle at Lu Manor made Yan Qi feel deeply humiliated. Whether for the subsequent plan or for revenge, he urgently hoped to kill Zhao Bufan.

However, he also knew that if he rushed forward alone, even if he ultimately killed him, he would likely suffer a dying counterattack from the opponent. It was precisely for this reason that he felt anxious.

Chen Zhong was not an indecisive person. Although Zhao Bufan’s words made him somewhat wary, they could not stop his killing intent.

Just as he was about to make his move, a series of urgent footsteps suddenly came from afar.

“Everyone, charge! Surround this place, don’t let a single demon escape.”

A rough voice echoed across the square, even overpowering the intense sounds of battle.

At this moment, Chen Zhong could no longer remain calm. He looked behind him in disbelief.

A tall, burly man, clad in bright armor, was directing a group of Government Soldiers to quickly surround the area.

This burly man had a resolute face, held a Guan Dao, and exuded an extraordinary aura.

The steed he sat upon was also no ordinary beast; its body was a full size larger than a typical warhorse, and the muscles on its four limbs were distinctly defined.

There were about a hundred Government Soldiers, all armed with crossbows. Unlike ordinary constables, these soldiers were clearly trained and each wore armor. They showed no fear in the face of demons and the gruesome scene, clearly an elite force.

“Government Soldiers!” Chen Zhong’s last shred of hope vanished instantly. Looking at the soldiers surrounding them, a feeling of despair spread through his heart.

“They’re finally here.” Zhao Bufan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had a backup plan, he was actually a bit unsure when the reinforcements would arrive.

But fortunately, his persistence had not been in vain.

Taking advantage of this lull, Zhao Bufan rapidly retreated, while shouting, “Everyone, listen up! Gather around me.”

Zhao Bufan held extremely high prestige in the Demon Suppression Division of Lianbo City. Upon hearing his command, everyone immediately retreated, and Lu Ming was naturally among them. He had originally been prepared to risk his life, but who would have thought, a new hope appeared, and there were reinforcements!

As the Demon Suppression Division members gathered, the burly man holding the Guan Dao swept his gaze over the bewildered demons and the Martial Artists from the Tie Sha Sect, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.

“Fire!” His raised arm suddenly dropped, and the burly man roared.

Immediately, arrows rained down, showering the enemies in a volley.

The sharp whistling of arrows cutting through the air resounded densely. The panicked demons and Tie Sha Sect Martial Artists all used their abilities to try and block them.

With their skills, they might be able to block a few arrows, but facing over a hundred arrows fired simultaneously, they found it difficult to intercept them all without any protection.

Accompanied by cries of agony and howls, at least five or six figures fell in a single volley. Especially the demons at the forefront of the crossbow attack zone, due to their lack of agility, were more or less riddled with arrows.

“Brother Zhao, don’t panic, I’m here!” The burly man roared, exuding an aura of unmatched bravery. He stepped on his stirrup, his entire body flying off the warhorse, and his Guan Dao slashed down at Yan Qi’s head.

When Lu Ming saw this scene, the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.

With such powerful reinforcements, he naturally had no need to forcefully improve himself by sacrificing Lifespan!

“An Extremity Realm martial artist? I really don’t know where Uncle Zhao found such a master.” Lu Ming murmured softly.

That burly man and the hundred or so Government Soldiers who followed him gave everyone a great sense of security. Perhaps the individual strength of those Government Soldiers was not particularly strong, but the power they unleashed when fighting in formation was something that neither those demons nor the Martial Artists from Schools could compare to.

After two rounds of arrows, the Government Soldiers had already put down their crossbows, and, holding their sabers, shields, and long spears, rapidly advanced forward.
