Chapter 835 - Chapter 835: Chapter 436 Ambush (2/2)

“Escape? A joke. When have I ever needed to run?”

“It’s you who should be running!”

A great battle was about to start.

Faced with this crisis, the humans of Dongchen State pulled out all the stops, gathering their powerful individuals.

This time, Su Nan finally got a real sense of the strength underlying Dongchen State’s human populace.

Among the dozen or so figures in the void, he immediately recognized the County Magistrate of Tianyun County and the Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau.

One was in the early stage of the Emperor level and the other in the middle stage. However, their strength was not very remarkable among these dozen or so people.

Su Nan’s gaze fell on the three leading figures.

Two white-haired old men and one skinny old woman—all three were at the peak of the Emperor level!

Besides them, there were three late-stage Emperor grade powerful individuals and five in the middle stage.

“Three peak Emperors!” Su Nan nodded, not surprised.

The number was not many, definitely fewer than the demon clan, and it was fortunate that they were protected by the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition. Otherwise, with the strength of the human race, they would have been wiped out long ago.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition was specifically against the demon clan; it was virtually useless against beings like demon beasts.

“Three peak Emperors, along with numerous late and middle-stage Emperors, should be enough,” he said.

The powerful individuals were fully armed, each holding all manner of divine weapons and artifacts.

However, the demon beast was not unarmed; in its hand, it held a blood-colored longsword. Demonic Qi coiled around the sword like small snakes, continuously slithering along the blade.

“Demon Sword!”

Su Nan immediately recognized the blood-colored longsword and his expression turned grave.

This was the second Demon Sword he had encountered since entering the game.

Divine weapons shone brilliantly, unleashing dazzling light, while the Demon Sword, not to be outdone, turned its surges of demonic qi into sword light, aiming to tear apart the void.

The terrifying atmosphere rippled, causing space itself to tremble.

Even though the battle between the two sides was high in the sky, the violent energy was enough to turn the Imperial City below to ruins.

Fortunately, the major forces of humanity were well-prepared and had sent plenty of King-level powerhouses below to channel the power of heaven and earth to neutralize the violent energy. This was the only reason why the Imperial City wasn’t reduced to ruins at the start of the battle.

The battle in the field took time to determine a victor, and after watching for a while, Su Nan turned his attention to the panel.

The game had indeed refreshed.

Today was the tenth day of the tenth public beta test, and the first phase of the Luck Child task would end today.

Su Nan looked at today’s task.

The three roles hadn’t encountered anything special, naturally triggering no novel tasks, and continued as usual, predominantly involving slaying demon beasts and hunting demons.
