Demon-killing divine fire! Which powerful person took action?

Jiangcheng.

East City Gate.

On the city gate, the army stood ready, heavy Elemental Energy Guns were placed in the center of the city tower, charged and aimed at the distance, archers in the watchtower drew their bowstrings tight, and everyone was in a state of readiness.

Hong Bo stood on the city tower, gazing into the distance, and sighed softly,

“In just one month, another Dimensional Gatecrack has appeared, and it’s an even higher Rank Three Dimensional Gate. This world truly gives no one a way to live.”

For a third-tier small city like Jiangcheng, the appearance of every Dimensional Gate meant a bloody storm.

Although all the resources within the Dimensional Gate could be obtained after resisting the Beast Tide, the people who died during the process of resisting the Beast Tide could not be revived.

A Rank Two Dimensional Gate was still acceptable; the highest Rank was only a Rank Two Yao Beast, and it wouldn't cause too much damage.

However, a Rank Three Dimensional Gate was completely different; the strongest Rank Three Top Tier Yao Beasts could only be dealt with by a Martial Commander.

Except for a few Geniuses, ordinary Human Great Martial Masters were simply powerless to contend with Rank Three Yao Beasts. Humans were inferior to Yao Beasts in combat power at the same Rank.

In the face of an overwhelming Beast Tide, anyone could die. Even with city walls and Formations to defend, it was impossible to stop the fierce offensive of the Yao Beasts.

Suddenly,

Hong Bo’s pupils constricted as he saw a young figure appearing in the distance.

Without any hesitation, Hong Bo immediately jumped down from the city wall, which was over ten meters high, and went straight to Jiang Qing. He grabbed Jiang Qing with one hand and quickly brought him back to the city gate.

“Uncle Hong, what’s going on? I just went out for a bit, and even the city gate is closed?”

Jiang Qing looked bewildered.

“A Rank Three Dimensional Gate has appeared outside the city, and the entire city is under martial law.”

“Luckily, you came back quickly, kid. If you were any later, the trouble would have been huge!”

Hong Bo let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Jiang Qing and asked,

“Why were you, kid, not at home waiting for the college entrance exam results, but instead ran outside the city? If anything happened to you, I would regret it for the rest of my life!”

“From now on, you stay in the city honestly and wait for the results. Don’t go out of the city again!”

“Okay…”

Hong Bo nagged a few more words, still worried, then he waved his hand, signaling Jiang Qing to leave.

“Alright, alright, go home.”

Jiang Qing shook his head and looked at the distant jungle, saying,

“Uncle Hong, I also want to participate in the battle.”

“You know my strength. With Martial Master Cultivation, I can also give you all some help.”

Hong Bo frowned, waved his hand, and signaled a soldier beside him to take him away,

“No matter how strong your Cultivation is, in front of me, you are just a child! Right now, you only need to strive to become stronger. Battlefield fighting is our adults’ business!”

Jiang Qing wanted to say something more, but Hong Bo waved his big hand: “Get lost!”

The personal guard soldier accompanying Hong Bo led Jiang Qing down the city wall, then personally drove him home before leaving.

Back home, Jiang Qing focused on Cultivating the Expanding Spirit Art.

There was nothing to worry about. He merely used the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire without leaking a single trace of Qi, so it was impossible for his identity to be exposed because of it.

… …

Four City Gates.

Each was led by one of the four high-ranking figures within Jiangcheng, who commanded troops to guard them.

Jiangcheng City Lord, Special Affairs Bureau Director of Jiangcheng, Association President of Jiangcheng, and Martial Artist Alliance Leader of Jiangcheng.

Several hours passed, but not a single shadow of the Beast Tide was seen outside the city. The strange situation made the few people realize something was amiss.

After discussion, the four decided that two strong individuals would lead elite troops to investigate the situation outside the city.

After the discussion, it was decided that Hong Bo, who had the strongest Martial Arts strength, and the Special Affairs Bureau Director would lead the army.

East City Gate.

The two led a hundred elite soldiers outside the city. After two hours of searching, they finally determined the location of the Dimensional Gate.

Following the direction of the surging Beast Tide, everyone discovered the remaining traces after the Yao Beasts were completely wiped out.

A large area of trees, trampled by the Yao Beast horde, lay twisted and broken on the ground, yet not a single Yao Beast could be seen. On the ground, only the ashes left after the Yao Beasts were incinerated remained.

The mighty Beast Tide had already traveled a considerable distance. A large area of dense jungle was trampled and broken by the violent Beast Tide, from which it could be concluded that the number of Yao Beasts was absolutely not small.

The air was filled with a faint smell of burnt meat, and the ashes left on the ground emitted thefishy stench of Yao Beasts. All of this proved that the ashes covering the ground were indeed the Yao Beasts that were preparing to assault Jiangcheng.

They were just destroyed by some mysterious force. The terrifying power had even burned the Yao Beast bones into ashes, spreading them across the ground.

“Supernatural power, the one who made the move is at least a Martial Commander…”

Hong Bo looked at the scene before him, filled with shock.

The Special Affairs Bureau Director frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

“Demon-Slaying Divine Fire, this is a unique characteristic of the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire’ among the Heaven and Earth Different Fires. Only this Different Fire, known as the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire, can cause such terrifying signs, where even Yao Beast bones cannot escape being burned to ashes!”

“Rank Three Yao Beast bones can already be considered extraordinary Materials. How high must the temperature be to burn them to ashes?”

“I suspect it’s highly probable that a certain strong individual passed by and specifically resolved a crisis for our Jiangcheng…”

Hong Bo was silent for a moment, then said,

“If someone really used a Different Fire, then it must be a strong individual from another city, after all, no Different Fire has appeared in our Jiangcheng for the past few decades.”

“However, this is a good thing. With that strong individual resolving the Beast Tide, we can confidently take over this Dimensional Gate.”

The Special Affairs Bureau Director pondered for a moment, then made a decision,

“This Dimensional Gate is different from other Dimensional Gates; the Beast Tide was not resolved by our Jiangcheng, so a portion of the profits from it should be obtained by that strong individual.”

“From now on, anyone who obtains treasures in this Dimensional Gate will need to hand over a portion to be kept as Jiangcheng’s reserve funds, and when that strong individual is found in the future, this portion of resources will be returned.”

“That strong individual did not leave their name, but we cannot forget their meritorious deeds.”

Hong Bo nodded,

“It should be so.”

After discussion, the two decided on the policy, then notified the city to dispatch troops to guard the Dimensional Gate entrance.

… …

The next day.

【The Rank Three Dimensional Gate that appeared at noon yesterday has been suppressed by the combined forces of the Jiangcheng army and the Special Affairs Bureau. It will be opened as a Secret Realm tomorrow, and interested parties can sign up to enter and explore…】

【Important notice for this Secret Realm: a portion of everyone’s gains from entering the Secret Realm needs to be handed over to operate Jiangcheng’s reserve funds…】

… …

After listening to the recent news for a while, Jiang Qing turned off the TV and went back to the second floor to start taking Medicinal Pills.

“Rank Three Giant Strength Pill. After consumption, perfectly absorbing the Medicinal Pill’s power can permanently increase one’s strength.”

“Rank Four Wisdom Pill. After consumption, one’s wisdom can be increased.”

“Rank Four Fire Spirit Pill. After consumption, it can increase the Cultivator’s fire element affinity and enhance the power when using fire-attribute Martial Arts…”

… …

The gains this time included all sorts of Medicinal Pills, and most of them were rare Medicinal Pills that could permanently increase attributes.

Each one was a perfect three-pattern Medicinal Pill meticulously refined by Jiang Qing, with no side effects after consumption.

As Medicinal Pills were consumed one by one, Jiang Qing’s attributes rapidly increased.

“Awesome, this is too awesome!”
