223: The demigod is descending!

Sun Liancheng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately followed Kong Yan.

Because the recent situation was quite grim, Kong Yan had become the person responsible for transmitting important news within the Gathering Place.

For him to be so anxious, it must have been something major.

Luo Mu also followed Kong Yan all the way to the outskirts of the Gathering Place, where they witnessed a scene that made them frown.

Less than a kilometer away, a group of ugly demon slaves were dancing wildly.

They formed a circle, and in the center, a gigantic monster was slowly approaching.

It seemed like a two- or three-story tall mountain of flesh, moving closer, surrounded by a group of demon slaves.

Only when it got closer could they see clearly that it seemed to have the lower body of a normal human.

Its upper body, however, was composed of countless severed limbs and broken arms stuck into a mass of flesh.

But strangely, this appearance did not slow down the creature's speed in the slightest.

Inferior Demon: Maimed Demon

Descent Progress: 67%

There was no combat power indicator, but there was a 'Descent Progress' prompt.

Meanwhile, the surrounding demon slaves were digging out corpses from the ruins and throwing them towards this Demon.

They seemed to be naturally sensitive to the scent of death and flesh, and each slight movement of their beast-like claws yielded a new find.

Each time a corpse was thrown in, the Maimed Demon's size would increase slightly.

The most bizarre thing was that before integrating into this Demon, the corpse's hands would detach and then cling to its disgusting body.

At this moment, the Professionals on the defensive fortifications had begun to unleash their skills, the dazzling light of which even made the demon slaves shriek.

However, when the skill light faded, everyone discovered that some of the arms on the Maimed Demon's body slowly withered.

Those with sharp eyes could see that these arms had actually used skills before withering.

The withered arms slowly fell off, but new arms immediately emerged from the flesh.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"I don't know, it came from the suburbs, it's so disgusting!"

"It seems like every arm can independently cast a skill, what's going on?"

This bizarre and disgusting scene made everyone somewhat overwhelmed, and a cacophony of discussions erupted.

This was unavoidable, as most of them were ordinary people, not official soldiers.

To not turn and flee in such a situation was already quite good.

The Maimed Demon was still advancing, and some melee Professionals went to meet it, but they simply couldn't withstand the barrage of its skills.

After their deaths, their bodies were still absorbed into the Demon's form, enhancing its power.

In just over a minute, its Descent Progress had already reached 68%.

"Luo Mu, we might need you to act!"

Sun Liancheng looked at Luo Mu with a complicated expression; he had not actually joined the Shicheng Military.

However, in terms of single-target burst and damage capability, perhaps the entire Stone City couldn't find anyone stronger than Luo Mu.

Most importantly, Luo Mu's subordinates were, at worst, Epic Class Professionals, not to mention those with Excellent and Legendary Classes.

Under Sun Liancheng's guidance recently, this small team had gradually developed an invincible feeling.

Luo Mu nodded, quickly assigning combat tasks to the others behind him.

Then, his body transformed into a streak of purple lightning and charged towards the Demon.

After a series of lightning strikes, several arms on the Maimed Demon's body turned to ash and slowly scattered.

But many more arms that were struck remained unaffected, waving, trying to continue casting skills.

As for the lightning that struck its flesh, it had no effect.

Luo Mu's eyes changed, and he stepped back a few paces, shouting into the distance:

"Aim for the arms; each arm should have its own vitality!"

Everyone quickly changed their targets, aiming for the constantly waving arms.

Although most of the hit arms were protected by a layer of blood-red light, one or two were still destroyed by skills.

These arms slowly fell from the giant ball of flesh, but other arms reappeared.

When the demon slaves saw Luo Mu charging over, they immediately roared and scattered.

Their levels ranged from 25 to 30, and all of them were elite monsters.

But facing Luo Mu, who was like a thunder god descended, they had no chance of winning.

These demon slaves also possessed a certain level of intelligence!

Seeing this, Luo Mu did not pursue them, but merely threw several violent lightning orbs towards the Maimed Demon.

This was a skill called 'Thunder Field' that Gu Qinghan had brought back for him from an auction earlier.

Lightning hemispheres, each over ten meters in diameter, landed around the Maimed Demon, encompassing it.

The surging lightning, like the most violent warriors, raged wildly, yet it could do nothing to the Maimed Demon.

But Luo Mu's goal was not to threaten the creature.

All he wanted to do was to completely envelop the Demon in lightning, turning all the corpses thrown by the demon slaves into ash!

Sun Liancheng looked at Luo Mu's performance and nodded with satisfaction.

Over this period, Luo Mu had matured considerably; he was no longer the reckless youth who charged in headfirst.

He suddenly saw Zhang Kuang behind him, whose jaw had nearly dropped, and asked with amusement:

"Why that expression? Haven't you seen a situation like this before?"

Zhang Kuang then reacted, quickly shaking his head and saying:

"No, in the Secret Realm, Boss Gu Qinghan faced situations a hundred times more exaggerated than this.

I just think, how can Boss Gu's younger brother also be so fierce!

Damn it, are they not letting people live?"

Sun Liancheng chuckled, not responding to that remark.

He quickly issued some orders to the surrounding area, getting more Professionals into the battle.

Although they couldn't cause any damage to the Maimed Demon, they could at least tie up or even kill a few demon slaves.

But just then, a panicked scream erupted within the city.

Everyone looked back and saw many people fleeing in terror.

In their midst, a man whose body had swelled like a balloon was clutching his head in agony.

His skin was cracking inch by inch, and a suppressed roar of pain escaped through his gritted teeth:

"I am a Maimed Demon Contractor, but now I want to be a good person... But the Demonic Power within me is growing on its own... Kill me... Kill me!

I don't want to destroy this place, kill me!"

Kong Yan immediately rushed to a spot not far from the man, and upon realizing he was still conscious, frowned and asked:

"Didn't they say that Demonic Power wouldn't increase if a Demon's task wasn't completed? What's going on?"

The man lay on the ground, his body still slowly expanding, but he gritted his teeth and said:

"I don't know, since just now, the Demonic Power inside me has been slowly increasing... Quickly kill... me... please..."

Before he could finish speaking, an arm suddenly burst out of his body, propping him up.

At the same time, the man's body had actively begun to demonize, and his information had changed!
