Su Hang's shot damaged some of the formation patterns in the Devouring Moon ancient array, causing the Great Formation to stop operating.
The demonic rain outside the mountain ceased, and even the regular rainfall stopped.
But the sky remained gloomy, with flashes of red light accumulating something.
"Without any professional study or training, he damaged the formation with one hit and didn't injure any innocents. Su Hang is too amazing, how can he be so powerful?" Li Qingdai's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Who fired that shot, well done!" Gao Jian, the leader of the Super Police squad, shouted with joy.
The Super Police officers all turned around to look for the person who had fired the shot.
They were knowledgeable, and the previous shot had hit the top of the mountain just right. A bit further forward and it would have injured innocents, a bit further back and it wouldn't have damaged the formation. The control over the attack point was extremely precise, signifying that it was carried out by a master.
Even in the entire Super Police force of Qinyuan Province, it would be hard to find such talent.
"Yours truly here," Su Hang said indifferently.
"Who is that young fellow? He's so young." Everyone was clicking their tongues in wonder, taken aback by the surprise.
A black-clothed Demon Cultivator pointed at Su Hang from a distance and said coldly, "I will tear you limb from limb."
"Rubbish!" Su Hang shot back, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you; I'm saying all the Demon Cultivators present are rubbish."
"Follow me to kill them, exterminate these ants, flay that native alive so all the natives know that those who provoke Demon Cultivators die!" the black-clothed Demon Cultivator led the other Demon Cultivators in a fierce attack against the Super Police.
The demonic rain had stopped, but the Devouring Moon ancient array was not completely destroyed.
The Demon Cultivators on the mountain were repairing the Devouring Moon ancient array, and it was estimated that the demonic rain would resume shortly.
The Demon Cultivators halfway up the mountain were ferocious in their attack, and the Super Police were steadily retreating, suffering casualties of nearly half their numbers front and back.
On the side of the Demon Cultivators, there were thirteen Houtian Cultivators; three had died in battle, seven were injured, leaving three remaining.
But these three were tough nuts to crack. Over forty Super Police officers shot at them continuously, managing neither to hit them nor to stop them from rushing over and killing many of their own.
The Demon Cultivators were ruthless in their attacks, either crushing heads or tearing people in two.
The blood of the Super Police stained the soil of Forget-Me Mountain red. The crimson blood mixed with the mud on the ground, flowing into small streams and heading down the mountain.
"Fall back, everyone fall back!" Gao Jian urgently ordered the other Super Police to retreat, as he and the old martial artist faced the three Demon Cultivators.
The old martial artist was an Eight Extremes Fist practitioner, with a cultivation level that had reached the Innate Realm, but he was too old and lacked vitality.
His strength was at the bottom of the Innate level, only managing to hold his own against two Demon Cultivators at the Perfection Stage of Houtian.
As for Gao Jian, his cultivation level was at the Perfection Stage of Houtian, and he was completely suppressed by another black-clothed Demon Cultivator.
Demon Cultivators from the Primordial Demon World had been exposed to killing from the age of ten, growing up amidst slaughter.
In terms of combat experience, Earth Cultivators were far inferior to this group of Demon Cultivators.
In Su Hang's view, within five minutes, Gao Jian and the old martial artist would be defeated.
What he had to do now was to prevent this group of Demon Cultivators from restoring the Devouring Moon ancient array and to assassinate the Main Formation Master—the True Person Standing on the Ground.
Tang Lifen had said that as long as the Main Formation Master was killed, the Life-Devouring Talismans invading everyone's bodies would break, which was the only way to break them.
Thinking of this, Su Hang strode out and headed straight for the battlefield.
"Young brother, those Demon Cultivators want to kill you, it's too dangerous here, you should leave quickly." A Super Police officer blocked Su Hang's path.
Su Hang explained, "I am a Cultivator, here specifically to eradicate demons."
"It's good that you have the heart to serve the country, but you are too young, better to go home and cultivate properly." That Super Police officer stopped Su Hang, not allowing him to pass.
With the situation tense, Gao Jian and the old martial artist were in imminent danger. Su Hang, too impatient for more talk, simply bypassed the Super Police officer and rushed forward, only to cause the officer to chase after him.
"Isn't this chaotic enough? This Su Hang really knows how to stir trouble," Li Qingdai couldn't help but hum.
Just as Su Hang approached the front-line battlefield, Hua Chong, the deputy leader of the Super Police squad, called out in alarm, "How did you get here?"
"To kill Demon Cultivators!" Su Hang glanced at Hua Chong and then turned his attention to the battlefield.
"This is not a battle you can meddle in." Hua Chong said coldly and waved someone over from the back, "Come on, take him away quickly."
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield took a drastic turn for the worse. Gao Jian, caught off guard, had a bloody chunk of flesh torn from his shoulder by a black-robed demon cultivator, breaking two of his ribs.
He quickly retreated, flashing into the Super Police team.
With Deputy Captain Hua Chong at the lead, more than forty Super Police immediately opened fire on the pursuing black-robed demon cultivator.
"Bang bang bang..."
Bullets whistled, and sparks flew in all directions.
The black-robed demon cultivator's body, as agile as a swimming serpent, dodged the bullets one by one, and though one bullet finally hit him,
he clenched it tightly with his muscles, causing only a superficial wound.
"Kill..."
The black-robed demon cultivator roared, his eyes turning blood-red as his figure suddenly accelerated, charging at Hua Chong with the force of a tempest.
Hua Chong discarded his gun, leaning to the side and twisting his waist to build momentum, his shoulder slamming forward with force.
The demon cultivator spun his body like a whirlwind, kicking up the dirt on the ground and moving sideways in a sharp angle.
Hua Chong hit nothing but air.
"Swoosh!"
The black-robed demon cultivator stretched out his five fingers and, seizing the opportunity, clawed down towards Hua Chong's head viciously and swiftly.
If that had landed, it would have undoubtedly gouged out five bloody holes in the head.
"Not good!" Hua Chong cried out, trying to halt his momentum but unable to control the inertia.
Just then, a hand suddenly extended from the side, grabbing the wrist of the demon cultivator. With a twist and a pull, it tore off the demon cultivator's arm.
Blood sprayed wildly, staining the ground a sinister red.
"Ah..." The black-robed demon cultivator screamed as he stumbled back.
"I'm saved!" Hua Chong gasped for breath heavily.
Li Qingdai saw the whole thing clearly; it was Su Hang who had timely intervened to save Hua Chong.
"You damned slave of the Xia, how dare you sever my arm! You're as good as dead. I'll flay you, scatter your ashes!" snarled the demon cultivator, his face hideous and twisted.
Hua slave...
This deeply contemptuous term was a profound insult to every person from Huaxia.
It was an outrage that fueled a nameless rage within one's heart.
Even Su Hang was provoked by this term, seizing the moment to surge forward, using the severed arm as a weapon to thrust forward fiercely.
The thrust was like a venomous snake striking from its den, so sharp and swift that it drove the limb into the demon cultivator's chest.
"Thinking you can mutilate me? Hmph, with you being such trash, how dare you be so presumptuous," Su Hang said contemptuously.
"You, you..." The black-robed demon cultivator collapsed face upwards, dead.
"This, this is too incredible!" All the Super Police were stunned.
That black-robed demon cultivator was so arrogant and overbearing, calling them slaves of the Xia with every breath, having killed eight Super Police in total and severely wounding the team captain, Gao Jian. Deputy Captain Hua Chong was driven to a dead end with a single move.
Yet with Su Hang's intervention, he simply and cleanly killed the demon cultivator, the whole process as effortless as squashing an ant.
"These Super Police are really too weak. Su Hang has only been practicing cultivation for a little over a year, with no real combat experience, and he's still stronger than them," Li Qingdai thought her prior impressions of the Super Police being powerful were greatly exaggerated.
Many people around them shouted excitedly, "Powerful, so powerful, kill all these foreign scum!"
"I knew he could do it!" Su Hang's old classmate Yue Dan smiled sweetly, her joy coming from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Xuemei and Yang Zhenlin, on the other hand, had looks of bewilderment.
"So many demon cultivators, what use is killing one? The more powerful ones haven't even made a move yet," Li Qingdai thought these people were getting happy too soon.
Just then, the two demon cultivators attacking the elder martial master abandoned their struggle with the barely hanging on elder and charged towards Su Hang instead.
