“Roar～～” A long howl that seemed to tear the vocal cords came from the mouth of a demonic creature. Not far away, this bizarrely shaped demonic creature, like a black light, had a corpse in its mouth and charged desperately towards the only visible task target.
With the powerful boost of its tier 5 strength, the short distance of a few hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye, and then the demonic creature opened its mouth wide, cold air brewing inside.
“Boom!”
Before the demonic creature could unleash its “icy breath,” a massive fist covered in iron armor suddenly shot up from below, smashing directly into the creature's chin. This simple punch not only stopped the demonic creature's attack but also sent it flying, crashing like a cannonball into the distance.
In this abruptly created battlefield, Arthur's own strength undoubtedly belonged to a sovereign level.
However, the overall situation was not optimistic...
More than a thousand tier 4 and tier 5 demonic creatures were enough to determine the outcome of a small-scale war. The military's most powerful special combat brigade was not even on par with the luxurious level of the demonic creatures initiating the attack.
Therefore, there was no need to mention the fate of the other humans in the marketplace.
With no one of Arthur's caliber to protect them, in less than three minutes, nearly all the survivors in the marketplace were slaughtered by the terrifying demonic beings. At this moment, the military units had only just completed their combat preparations and were about to enter the marketplace.
...
Along the spacious street, Arthur fought while retreating, desperately sprinting towards the exit of the marketplace under the leadership of a dozen soldiers.
However, in the absence of others to attract the attention of the demonic creatures, Arthur and his group undoubtedly drew most of the creatures' gaze.
“Boom!”
A loud crash sounded as a building on both sides suddenly collapsed, countless boulders smashing down towards the dozen soldiers clearing the way ahead.
These professional soldiers, who averaged tier 3 peak, were not easy to deal with. The dozen or so of them managed to either block or dodge the falling boulders, easily neutralizing the attack. Yet the next moment, a faint cyan shadow dashed into the soldiers' formation, and the sound of flesh tearing echoed.
Sensing the sudden situation, Arthur killed the demonic creature in front of him with a single sword strike. His giant sword burst forth with a dazzling white light, and a massive wave of sword energy howled towards the cyan shadow.
“Boom!”
The sonic sword technique erupted.
The massive soundwave spread far and wide, not only causing the cyan pus-filled demonic creature to halt in its tracks, but even the five soldiers who had not yet fallen victim were blasted away, lying on the ground, uncertain of their fate.
At this moment, Arthur finally got a good look at the cyan pus-filled demonic creature.
Standing only about a meter tall, its entire body was covered in light cyan pus-filled sacs, which were constantly pulsating, as if they were breeding some disgusting and terrifying substance...
Arthur did not pursue the attack, as killing the enemy was not his primary objective. Seeing that the cyan pus-filled demonic creature was still disoriented not far away, Arthur decisively pulled up the weak Qin Shiyuan, who was trembling from fear, and quietly moved backwards while keeping a close watch on the creature.
With the absence of the dozen soldiers being a hindrance, Arthur's physical capabilities were fully unleashed, which indirectly provided Qin Shiyuan with more defensive measures.
As for the five soldiers still rooted in place, Arthur had no interest in their lives!
...
Every move Arthur made was closely monitored by a certain professional from a distance.
Seeing Arthur decisively abandon his teammates, the figure chuckled lightly.
People are mostly the same; when their life or the life of someone they care about is threatened, the lives of others immediately drop to the level of the gutter in the eyes of those bystanders.
