Until this moment, the frenzied demon heavily patted its own chest, as if the sound of rubber colliding echoed, stirring Tang Haofei's anger. It seemed he wanted to raise his fist and give this frenzied demon a hard blow.
Knowing that he had almost fallen into the trap again, Tang Haofei took a deep breath and barely suppressed the anger in his heart. Then he raised his head.
At that moment, their eyes met. The frenzied demon looked at Tang Haofei, grinning with an ugly smile.
"Little guy, I’ve used this trick to deceive thousands of people, so losing you doesn’t matter..."
The accented Demon Realm language came from the frenzied demon's mouth, and Tang Haofei fell silent upon hearing it.
He looked up at the grinning frenzied demon, who emanated an aura that begged for a beating. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind; three members of the eleventh level demonic clan had arrived at the optimal attack distance. Within his perception range, five more presences of the eleventh level rushed into the area. In just a few seconds, they would form an impenetrable encirclement around him!
Just one oversight, and now Tang Haofei realized he could no longer escape...
……
"Buzz~ Buzz~~ Buzz~~~"
At the location of the Treasury of Secret Treasures, a faint buzzing sound arose, and moments later, Aogules' strong body emerged from the ground.
After the second destruction, there was really not much left in the treasury—just a skill scroll, a soul armament, and a grotesque giant cannon shaped like a dragon's head. That was all.
After retrieving these items into his subspace, Aogules finally looked up towards the sky, where colorful energy streams exploded. Thunder and flames intertwined, but in less than a second, the ferocious lightning had already fallen to the disadvantage.
And this was just the beginning.
A few seconds later, a light appeared on the horizon, and the next moment, five figures descended from the sky, joining the battle.
A one against four became a one against nine...
Just moments ago, Tang Haofei could hardly break through, and now it was even more difficult.
Realizing this, Aogules' eyes gleamed with interest as he immersed himself in Tang Haofei's thoughts, murmuring.
"Well, in this situation, should I fight or run..."
Moments later, the dominant one had made a judgment.
Being domineering didn't mean being reckless.
When unable to win, a strategic retreat was naturally the only option. Even with Aogules' character and temper, under these circumstances, retreat was the only choice.
As for the third mission objective?
His survival was the prerequisite for everything; nothing was more important than being alive.
……
Tang Haofei clearly thought about this issue as well.
Although he felt slightly regretful for failing to destroy the Demonic Clan Research Department, Old Tang realized that just because it didn't work this time didn't mean it wouldn't next time. He could retreat first and wait for the alert in the Demon Realm to be lifted before coming back to catch the demonic clan off guard.
It was clear which was more important—tasks or life; Old Tang wasn't a death warrior willing to sacrifice his life for a mission. He was the foundation of Earth—indeed, Tang Haofei had positioned himself correctly.
Therefore, his choice was also correct!
With his strong body bracing against all incoming attacks, at that moment, Tang Haofei stood still. The energy within him spread outward, forming an indestructible thunder barrier. Inside the barrier, Old Tang moved quickly, taking out the communication device Wen Yu had given him from his Spatial Ring and directly pressing the dial button.
"Beep~~~ Beep~~~"
The communicator flashed twice, transmitting the signal, and everything looked extremely normal.
However, in the distance, a figure stood atop a tall building, watching Tang Haofei who was deep in encirclement, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
"Master, the communication signal has been sent out, should we..."
A heaven's chosen level soul puppet stood behind him, pointing to a precision instrument beside him, inquiring.
