Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 242 - 241 Heavenly Demon Assassination (Four more requests for subscriptions)

Jiang Hai sighed inwardly, knowing he had missed the best opportunity, these ten people defeating two fourth-level experts in such a short time suggested he could not withstand them either.

"Am I going to die here?" Thinking this, a resentful feeling uncontrollably rose in Jiang Hai’s heart, resenting Zhou Bai for not leaving with him immediately.

However, he quickly suppressed this resentment and rallied his spirits, "No matter what, my duty is to protect Zhou Bai."

Zhou Bai, however, was looking at the utterly dark Kong Zheng, shocked, "You are... Kong Zheng? Have you sided with the Heavenly Demon?"

Kong Zheng smiled and said, "Zhou Bai, humanity is already doomed. Have you seen the power of this Heavenly Demon? Now, I can even compete with a fourth-level cultivator. I’ve gained power in such a short time, power that you might not achieve even after several years of cultivation."

Other Heavenly Demons growled irritably, "Quit talking."

"Their reinforcements will arrive at any moment."

"Let’s attack together!"

The next instant, Jiang Li and Sun Qi were cast aside, and ten dark shadows fiercely sprang towards Zhou Bai’s position.

As the Heavenly Demons surrounded him for the attack, their hands transformed and turned into high-frequency swords, tearing through the air, slashing towards Zhou Bai and his companion.

Jiang Hai’s Primordial Spirit power surged as he prepared to fight with a resolve to die.

But at that critical moment, a sword light ascended from the darkness.

Cheng!

Chengying Sword roared.

Zhou Bai, unbeknownst to anyone, had already sold his shoes and clothes, and was barefoot and shirtless.

He activated Laziness Acceleration at the same time, instantly breaking the sound barrier.

Simultaneously, 3000 points of Primordial Spirit power erupted, with an alien power equivalent to 1200 points of Primordial Spirit power bursting from Chengying.

During this period, his robust body, continually supported by the Wuqu star, advanced unbelievably.

A week ago, Zhou Bai was already capable of overwhelmingly defeating Zheng Wentian, who had just entered fourth-level.

And in just a week, while others found it hard to progress, Zhou Bai’s strength had taken significant strides forward.

At the scene, the ten Heavenly Demons almost simultaneously sensed the attack of the sword light, each saw Zhou Bai attacking their bodies with different sword strikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a series of clashing sword sounds, all the Heavenly Demons saw was a flash of the sword light, they barely managed to defend, then a rustling sound followed from their bodies.

Pfft! Kong Zheng felt a sharp pain in his chest, looked down, and saw his entire chest was penetrated, with great gushes of blood spurting out.

Other nine Heavenly Demons had one hand severed, others had their calves sliced, and some had a large hole in their sides.

In less than a second, all ten Heavenly Demons were severely injured.

Jiang Hai watched this scene in astonishment, while Zhou Bai casually lifted the Chengying Sword in his hand, looking at the several cracks on the blade, his brow slightly furrowed.

He had just decapitated ten Heavenly Demons at supersonic speed with his sword, feeling something amiss when his first three sword strokes collided with their swords, as his Chengying Sword, capable of cutting gold and jade, was actually damaged by their swords twinkling with a dim light.

So for the subsequent sword moves, he targeted their bodies to avoid clashing with their weapons.

Despite these precautions, the tenacity of their bodies still exceeded his expectations, each feeling like a master of Body Refinement. He had intended to utterly shatter their bodies, but only managed to severely wound them partially.

But in the next moment, he saw the ten Heavenly Demons step back while a great amount of black particles surged from their bodies, astonishingly restoring their severely damaged forms.

Kong Zheng cracked a slight smile and said, "Zhou Bai, the speed of your strength’s improvement is surprising, but in front of the technology of the Heavenly Demons, it’s all meaningless. Come with us, your resistance will only cause needless casualties."

Zhou Bai gave him a cold look, lifting his Chengying Sword, "Heavenly Demons... must die."

Boom! When the sound of an airburst reached everyone’s ears, Zhou Bai had already appeared in front of Kong Zheng in the blink of an eye.

His Chengying Sword traced a pitch-dark afterimage, twinkling with starlight, and had already sliced through Kong Zheng’s neck.

Bang! Kong Zheng’s head soared into the air as blood gushed out like a fountain.

But in the next instant, Kong Zheng’s body turned around, his right hand had transformed into a flamethrower, white-hot flames swirling inside.

At the same time, the other nine Heavenly Demons aimed their flamethrowers at Zhou Bai’s position.

In an instant, blinding white-hot flames soared, engulfing the area where Zhou Bai stood completely.

The erupting flames not only burned but also hit various parts of the sewage treatment plant, setting off a series of explosions, with flames engulfing every space underground.

However, Jiang Hai only felt his body tighten, with a violent wind rampaging around him, and the surroundings shifting at an inconceivable speed before suddenly stopping as his body slammed hard against a wall, beside him lay Jiang Li and Sun Qi.

It was Zhou Bai who had rescued them at the last critical moment.

Stunned, Jiang Hai looked at Zhou Bai. The strength Zhou Bai displayed in combat against those ten Heavenly Demons was far beyond most of the fourth realm, yet he was only at the second realm.

Zhou Bai turned around, looking at the dark shadows coming up behind him, "Take them and go first, I’ll deal with the Heavenly Demons."

Standing up, Jiang Hai said, "My mission is to protect you, how can I leave first. Let’s leave together! The sewage treatment plant has been attacked, the guards must have been alerted, just escape for a bit longer, support will definitely arrive."

Zhou Bai nodded, "Then let’s go, just be careful not to die, if you die, it will all be for naught."

The next moment, Zhou Bai had vanished again, stirring up gusts of wind as he appeared behind a Heavenly Demon, thrusting his sword out like a blinding flash.

The sword pierced through the demon’s head in 0.1 second and then retracted, and Zhou Bai had already flashed again, creating gusts of wind at another position.

The Heavenly Demon, which had just had its brain skewered, was immediately engulfed in flames from numerous flamethrowers, then emerged from the Fire Sea with a hideous expression.

The previously decapitated Kong Zheng was also unscathed now, his head and body reattached.

Xing Jun observed the battlefield from afar, a sly smile crossing his face, "Is this the new liquid metal developed by the Heavenly Demon Empress? The main consciousness program stored within the Heavenly Demon Pool, and remote liquid metal shells only suffer insignificant damage unless heavily destroyed; humans are becoming more hopeless."

"True, this real combat data is very valuable."

On the other side, Zhou Bai saw the undying nature of the Heavenly Demons and frowned slightly: ’These Heavenly Demons… they look like the ultimate liquid metal robots.’

Zhou Bai continued to fight and retreat against these ten Heavenly Demons; although his overall power was inferior to the Heavenly Demons, his exceptional mobility allowed him to firmly engage all ten alone.

Wherever they went, Sword Qi whistled through the air, igniting it, causing massive destruction—walls collapsed, pipelines were cut by the invisible Sword Qi, and extensive patches of ground turned to scorched earth.
