115: Whose subordinate is this?

Half an hour later.

Su Su's Alien Energy had recovered. She stood up and looked at Fang Bai: "I'm ready."

Fang Bai nodded: "Let's go. There was a small interlude."

Confusion flashed in Su Su's eyes, but she still followed Fang Bai's steps.

Soon, the two arrived at an intersection, where they saw six or seven people.

Fang Bai's clone was also there, but it was currently surrounded by the group.

Seeing Fang Bai and Su Su, those people immediately became wary.

The shadow clone shrugged: "Look, the main body is here!"

He glanced at Fang Bai and said, "They might be useful to you, so I didn't kill them."

Everyone: "??"

Wait, weren't you already surrounded by us? Why do you sound like you're the one who surrounded us?

The clone transformed into a black shadow and merged into Fang Bai's body. The latter smiled slightly: "Are you all mercenaries?"

One of the young men asked warily, "Who are you?"

Fang Bai rolled his eyes: "Actually, we are just Civilian Awakeners who came here to try our luck!"

"Bullshit! How could Civilian Martial Artists have cultivation levels like yours? You must be people from The Authorities, right?"

The young man shouted deeply.

Fang Bai shrugged.

It seemed he couldn't hide it anymore. These people were quite wary.

"Alright, I'll come clean. We are Martial Academy students, here for experience."

Martial Academy students!

Hearing this, the hostility in the eyes of the group lessened considerably.

So they were just two students.

The young man's tone softened slightly as he said, "Do you also want to enter the Eye of the Storm?"

Fang Bai nodded: "That's right."

The young man sized them up, then asked suspiciously, "Why aren't you affected by the mist?"

Fang Bai grinned: "I have my own tricks!"

Hearing this, the young man didn't press the issue. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Now that the mist has invaded, the entire town is very dangerous. If you don't mind, you can team up with us."

Fang Bai shook his head: "Forget it. What's the difference between taking you along and having dead weight?"

Everyone: ???

"Kid! Who are you looking down on? When this old man was out mixing around, you were probably still in school somewhere!"

A tall, burly man spoke up, clearly displeased.

Fang Bai looked at him. The opponent's aura was around Mid-Third Rank—a mere ant.

Fang Bai had thought these people had some capability, but it seemed they were just a group looking for scraps.

He immediately lost interest in communicating and said to Su Su, "Let's go."

He urgently needed to replenish his energy and was impatient to go hunt Demon Beasts!

Su Su nodded.

The two ignored the group and left on their own accord.

Seeing that the pair held them in such low regard, the young man and the others looked quite displeased.

"Brother Xiu, what do we do now?"

A long-haired young man asked.

The young man named Brother Xiu thought for a moment, then said, "Anyone who can move freely through this mist is extraordinary. We shouldn't provoke them, lest we die without knowing how."

"But that kid was too arrogant!"

The burly man said disgruntledly.

Brother Xiu glanced at him: "If you're unhappy, go fight them then!"

The burly man choked.

Brother Xiu snorted coldly: "Why were they able to remain so relaxed and calm in front of us? Use your brain—it means they aren't afraid of us! Besides, we have no grudge against them, so why should we mindlessly provoke them? Do you really think I'm a brainless villain?"

Everyone: "..."

"Let's go. Dawn is approaching. Follow the mist, and we can quickly reach the Storm Valley!"

After Brother Xiu finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped forward.

The others could only follow.

On the other side, Fang Bai and Su Su had walked far away.

"Those people weren't very friendly."

Su Su said softly.

Fang Bai was unconcerned: "That's true, but it's fine. After all, everyone is out here trying to make a living, and it's normal to be wary of strangers. It's a good thing they didn't make a move."

Su Su asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

Fang Bai replied calmly: "Then I would have had no choice but to tearfully take their lives."

Su Su: "..."

Truly... "Hmm? Something's happening!"

Fang Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, and his speed involuntarily increased.

Soon, he arrived below a tall tower, which seemed to be a watchtower.

"Did we arrive at the Demon Slaying Army base?"

Su Su glanced around. The layout was indeed somewhat familiar.

Fang Bai nodded: "Indeed, and it seems they've run into trouble."

Just as Fang Bai said, the Demon Slaying Army soldiers were currently surrounded by a horde of Demon Beasts.

Most of them were still conscious.

Evidently, having been stationed in this town for so long, they had measures in place to deal with the mist.

However, facing the massive Demon Beast horde, they were struggling to hold them off.

"Damn it! These beasts are all attacking our base!"

"Did all the beasts from the Alien Space come along with the mist?"

"And they chose the exact time when the Captain is absent!"

"Demon Beasts are increasing on the east side! Reinforcements! Reinforcements!"

...Hundreds and thousands of Demon Beasts were already charging forward!

They seemed to be purposefully launching a sneak attack on the base!

This sudden, large-scale assault caused significant losses to the soldiers!

But just as they fell into distress, an eerie laugh sounded: "Hehehe! I wondered why I couldn't find them—turns out they're all gathered here!"

Immediately afterward, several black shadows swept in. Before the Demon Beasts could react, they were sliced in half!

[Ding! Killed 6 Second-Tier Demonic Beasts, obtained a small amount of Alien Energy!]

Fang Bai immediately charged into the encirclement with an invincible stance, powerfully killing the Demon Beasts blocking his way!

At the same time, Su Su summoned a Fire Dragon. Under the Double Layer of Ice and Fire, she also killed large numbers of Demon Beasts!

This action instantly stunned the Demon Slaying Army soldiers.

"Whose general is this, to be so fierce?"

"The Dual Fiends, they look perfectly matched, don't they?"

"They are both Dual-Element martial artists! Could they be reinforcements from the Martial Academy?"

"I don't know, but I know we're safe now!"

Fang Bai had his Shadow Clones slaughtering in all directions while simultaneously deploying the Thunder Domain, killing all the Demon Beasts around him!

[Ding! Host meets the Advancement Requirement, please select the attribute for breakthrough!]

"Breakthrough Dark Element!"

[Promotion successful! Host's Dark Element has broken through to Late Fourth Rank!]

Swoosh!

Fang Bai's Dark Element Domain instantly expanded, and at the same time, three more shadow clones joined the battle!

Now, there were essentially more than ten Fang Bais fighting!

In this kind of chaotic group battle, he was truly in his element!

Finally, some Demon Beasts noticed the threat posed by these two humans, and several Demon Beasts emitting Fourth-Rank auras charged toward them!

However, under the joint efforts of Fang Bai and Su Su, they were no match at all!

Either one of these two could single-handedly challenge a Fifth Rank existence!

In less than ten minutes, three Fourth-Rank Demon Beasts were killed by them!

[Ding! Host killed 2 Fourth-Rank Demon Beasts, obtained a large amount of Alien Energy!]

[Host meets the Advancement Requirement! Proceed with breakthrough!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to Late Lightning Element!]
