Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 484: I, Shen Mo, Will Slay All Demons

Chapter 484: I, Shen Mo, Will Slay All Demons

As soon as Shen Mo finished speaking, the other Demon Suppression Guards turned to him with eyes filled with suspicion and surprise.

It was as if they were asking, Are you trying to get yourself killed?

But with Shen Mo's towering reputation and overwhelming strength as backing, few dared to directly refute his words.

After all, he had single-handedly built eight Flame Flood Dragon Cloud Boats and turned the tide of battle with his own power, indirectly causing the fall of the previous Fifth Great Demon.

He had also struck down a Great Demon's offspring and instantly killed Peak True Demon Lords.

These were not feats an ordinary Demon Suppression Guard could achieve.

Even prodigies like Ying Ye, Ao Hong, and the others—each a top-tier talent in their own fortress—dared not underestimate Shen Mo in the slightest.

Ao Hong frowned, then said after a few breaths, "Commander Shen, staying here means certain death. Retreating to the third level still holds a sliver of hope."

"Do you know how many demons are currently marching on this outpost?"

Ying Ye sighed softly. "There are no fewer than twenty Peak True Demon Lords, and below them are countless Gold and Silver-Crowned Demon Lords—numbering in the thousands."

"Commander Shen, we all know your strength is extraordinary. You've slain a Great Demon's offspring in single combat and instantly killed Peak True Demon Lords..."

"But can you kill one? Two? Four? Eight? Twenty?"

"Without another Dharma Manifestation expert, the worn-out defenders in this outpost alone simply aren't enough to..."

Before he could finish, a blaring alarm sounded outside.

"Demon attack! Demon attack! The demon army is here!"

The voice rang out like a death knell.

A wave of tension crashed down on every Demon Suppression Guard in the hall.

They had arrived.

At last, they had arrived.

The demons' advance was too fast.

They weren't given even a moment to catch their breath.

Under this relentless assault, how many Demon Suppression Guards could possibly hold the line?

The fact that there hadn't been any mutiny or betrayal, and that the unit still barely held its structure, was already quite admirable.

The sheer disparity in numbers left no room for hesitation.

"To the walls! Hold off this wave first!"

Ao Hong was the first to rise and rushed out of the hall like an arrow.

Ying Ye, Tang Zhanmo, and the others followed close behind.

One by one, the commanding officers moved into action.

Zhong Baisheng came up beside Shen Mo and spoke in a low voice, "If the number of demons is too high, Old Wang will break through with you."

"Someone has to stay behind to hold them off. Feng Cang and I will remain here and fight to the very end."

"This is the mission General Zhang gave me. I keep it close to my heart."

Shen Mo felt a warm surge in his chest.

Even at a time like this, this commander was still thinking of him, planning his way out.

The Demon Suppression Guards—truly people worthy of respect.

Shen Mo said solemnly, "Commander Zhong, there's no need for anyone to stay behind. No need for anyone to sacrifice themselves."

"As long as I am here."

Zhong Baisheng froze.

As long as I am here.

Those five words struck his heart like a great bell.

For some reason, those words seemed to carry a special kind of power.

A power that made one believe—without question.

"You..."

Zhong Baisheng hesitated inside.

He felt like something was off about Shen Mo.

But he couldn't say what.

Shen Mo smiled lightly and said nothing more. He simply walked straight toward the city wall.

"I, Shen Mo, will slay all demons!"

Zhong Baisheng's heart trembled.

At that moment, Shen Mo's figure looked exactly like Zhang Longxiang in his prime—one man, one sword, blocking ten thousand enemies.

This moment... was just like that moment?

A wild, unbelievable thought surfaced in Zhong Baisheng's heart.

But he couldn't speak it aloud.

It seemed too impossible.

Wang Xing'an came to his side and patted his shoulder.

"Old Zhong, sometimes, the only way to know is to see for yourself."

"Come on. I want to see it too—whether this junior of ours, so absurdly young, really has that kind of hidden trump card!"

Zhong Baisheng took a deep breath, then nodded firmly. "Alright!"

The two strode toward the outpost's city wall with heavy steps and determined hearts.

...

Atop the city wall, heads were packed densely together.

Shen Mo stood there, gazing out into the distant darkness.

He immediately spotted a black line surging like a giant worm.

Channeling spiritual power into his eyes, he saw clearly—it was a tide of countless inferior demons.

Within every group of these lesser demons was a True Demon Lord leading them.

In mid-air, more than twenty Peak True Demon Lords hovered menacingly.

These twenty-some Peak True Demon Lords clustered around three exceptionally powerful figures—

The offspring of Great Demons.

Even before the overwhelming horde reached the walls, the dense, oppressive violet-black mist had already come rolling in. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

It was suffocating.

The demons under the Fifth Great Demon's command were particularly adept at spreading demonic fog.

Any Demon Suppression Guard enveloped by that mist would, without exception, suffer great upheaval in their state of mind.

Some would fall into internal conflict, some into despair, others into madness.

Many on the wall were already pale-faced and trembling, barely holding themselves together.

If not for the defense array still holding over the outpost,

There might already have been cries of despair, setting off a mutiny within.

In a corner of the wall,

Several familiar figures could be seen—

The Shadow Pavilion's young master, Xue Ziyi.

Jade Cauldron Sect's head, Li Zhendao.

And Elder Mo Lingxiao of the Jade Cauldron Sect...

Had most of the Demon Suppression Guards not withdrawn to this outpost, Shen Mo likely wouldn't have seen them again for a long time.

They too had noticed Shen Mo.

But all parties understood—this was no time for reunion.

None of them approached.

Instead, they stood silently, looking toward the horizon,

Contemplating how to respond.

Shen Mo swept his gaze across the wall, but did not find the people he was searching for.

"No sign of Ye Yan or Lin Dongtian."

"They really are children of great destiny—when calamity strikes, they instinctively avoid it."

Shen Mo's expression remained calm.

He had expected this outcome.

High above the sky,

An Zhenjie, An Zhen'e, and An Zhenshuang hovered loftily.

They gazed down on the small outpost below

As if looking at an eggshell they could crush with a flick of their fingers.

"By now, the vast majority of surviving Demon Suppression Guards have gathered in this outpost."

"The reinforcements from nearby outposts should have arrived here as well."

"Once we break this outpost, the remaining defenders on the fourth level will be nothing more than chickens and dogs."

An Zhenjie smiled faintly.

An Zhen'e and An Zhenshuang nodded in full agreement.

An Zhenjie said casually, "The defensive formation is still intact. An Zhenshuang, you handle it."

"Good. My hands have been itching anyway," An Zhenshuang chuckled darkly.

With a flash, he appeared in the skies above the Vermilion Bird 41st Outpost.

Like a demonic god in the clouds, he looked down upon the fragile creatures below.

"Break for me!"

An Zhenshuang roared.

Demonic energy burst from his body like a flood.

It swirled violently, shaping itself into eerie forms—

Grimacing bone fiends, savage killing spirits.

In the next breath, these thick, layered clouds of demonic fog pressed downward on the outpost!

Above the outpost, the formation suddenly lit up with a fiery glow.

Crimson light spread out, bringing a brief sense of relief to all below.

This was a top-tier Earth-grade formation—the Vermilion Bird Flame-Heaven Formation.

It favored offense over defense.

With the current resources of the outpost, it could hold off a single Great Demon's offspring for at most fifteen minutes.

Boom!

The demonic fog slammed into the crimson glow.

The light quickly began to dim.

Everyone knew—

It was only a matter of time before the formation broke.
