Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 820 - 70: Pie Falling from the Sky

"Not good, there’s an ambush, protect the Dark Demon Alchemist!" With the figures leaping up, Dark Demon Six exclaimed, and the Dark Demon Army lying on the ground also jumped up.

Several Four Symbols City Guards rushed out, and among them, prominently, was Long Ao.

After Long Rui entered Four Symbols City, she also tried to find Long Ao in the Star and Star Districts, but with the large population of Four Symbols City and her being new to the place, lacking contacts, finding Long Ao was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Unexpectedly, today Yue Jinghua encountered Long Ao on the mainland battlefield.

It turns out Long Ao broke through the Dan Realm shortly after joining Four Symbols City. As someone pursuing the peak of Dark Practitioner abilities, he certainly wouldn’t give up the opportunity to enter the mainland battlefield.

He signed up for the Four Symbols City’s garrison and was dispatched to the Four Symbols River area, responsible for guarding the river and defending the city borders.

When Long Ao was on the Canglong Continent, he was a pillar of the empire, honored as the National Guardian General of the Dragon War Empire, and was highly esteemed.

However, after entering Four Symbols City, he experienced a huge psychological setback. With experts everywhere in the city, his identity and cultivation were unremarkable, and after joining the garrison, he sank into a depressed phase.

Fortunately, Long Ao had good fortune. One night, while patrolling the boundary river with a garrison soldier, he noticed two less skilled Dark Demon soldiers nearby. Silently following them, he seized the opportunity when they were off guard to capture them, learning that the Demon Clan’s vanguard had already infiltrated the Four Symbols River and planned to poison the area.

After receiving the news, they were overjoyed, but then both started plotting for themselves.

If they could uncover the enemy’s poisoning plot and capture a prominent figure from the Dark Demon Army, it would be a great achievement, enough to accumulate merit points to infiltrate the Yue District. However, both were ambitious for glory, and after deliberation, each wanted to claim the credit for themselves.

They secretly contacted a few allied garrison members, all Dan Realm experts. They monitored the Dark Demon vanguard for a while, finally waiting for the arrival of the Dark Demon Alchemist.

When the portal appeared, the Dark Demon Alchemist had just appeared, simultaneously when the Dark Demon Army was most lax in defense; Long Ao and the others rushed forward.

Although Long Ao and the others were only six or seven, each was a Dan Realm expert. Compared to the rare Dan Realm, Dark Heavenly-focused Dark Demon Army, they were evenly matched in strength.

Dark Demon Six was extremely angry, yelling loudly, his body lunging forward like a small mountain, blocking the attacks of two Four Symbols City Guards.

"Protect the Dark Demon Alchemist, return to the camp immediately," the cultivation of this Dark Demon Six was impressive, having already formed his own domain.

The domain power enveloped the two human Dark Practitioners, including Long Ao, holding the two Dan Realm experts firmly locked in the space.

The remaining Dark Demon Army experts also rushed forward.

Long Ao was not slow either, knowing that the Dark Demon Alchemist was the key target, he left behind the Dark Practitioners, wings and all, dashing towards the Dark Demon Alchemist before the domain power fully deployed.

The nearby Dark Heavenly demons alongside the Dark Demon Alchemist engaged in combat with Long Ao.

However, the cultivation of Dark Heavenly and Dan Realm expert Long Ao was not just a mere difference, Long Ao quickly dispatched the Dark Heavenly demons with a clean sweep.

The scene was chaotic, the Dark Demon Alchemist’s cultivation was average, like a lamb to the slaughter in front of Long Ao, not worth mentioning.

"Swear to protect the Dark Demon Alchemist, everyone, charge!"

Long Ao heard an inspiring shout, as sharp deer antlers suddenly pierced out from the ground repeatedly.

The deer antlers gleamed coldly, quickly retreating underground after a strike, making it difficult for Long Ao to defend, significantly slowing his mobility.

The previously chaotic Dark Demon Army regained their senses after hearing the shout, Dark Demon Six was fiercely fighting several human Dark Practitioners within the domain. Despite the ferocity of the human Dan Realm expert, it was difficult for him to match a dozen hands.

Under the sudden shout, the demons surrounded Long Ao.

The Dark Demon Alchemist, frightened out of his wits, was catching his breath nearby when he suddenly heard a slight voice drifting over. The person first revealed his Dark Demon Ring, then whispered, "Dark Demon Alchemist, it’s dangerous here, I am Dark Demon Sixty-Seven, I’ll take you to leave first, and seek aid from Hong Lei at the camp."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Demon Alchemist was more than willing.

As a Dark Demon Alchemist accustomed to a pampered life in the palace, he was never chased by human Dark Practitioners like today. Without a word, he urged the "enthusiastic" Dark Demon Sixty-Seven to escape quickly.

The two hurried down the mountain path, fleeing as fast as they could. Fortunately, caught up in the fierce battle behind, neither the garrison nor the Dark Demon Army realized the Dark Demon Alchemist had run off on his own.

After running with all his strength, the Dark Demon Alchemist gradually ran out of energy, panting, "Dark Demon Sixty-Seven, slow down, I can’t run anymore."

"Dark Demon Sixty-Seven" looked back, seeing no sign of pursuers at all.

"Where is Honorable Hong Lei’s camp located? How much longer until we reach it?" The Dark Demon Alchemist looked ahead, an expanse of desolation, seeing no sign of any camp.

He again checked the direction; upon hearing that Hong Lei had stationed the vanguard around the Four Symbols City Boundary River, according to the map, the boundary river should be in the south, yet they had been running north.

"Distinguished Dark Demon Alchemist, the camp is in the distant south. I’m afraid you’ll never hope to find it in your lifetime," "Dark Demon Sixty-Seven" leisurely remarked.

"You!" The Dark Demon Alchemist realized something was wrong. As he was about to run, before he could take a few steps, a great sword appeared out of nowhere. Under a covering of sword shadows, the Dark Demon Alchemist was pierced through the chest by the great sword before he could even cry out, collapsing to the ground.

"This time everything came effortlessly, and I do have Long Ao to thank. But if he knew I secretly seized the initiative, he’d probably spit blood," Yue Jinghua thought, not expecting Long Ao to appear just when she was racking her brain on how to steal the Corrosive Corpse Pill from the Dark Demon Alchemist.

Long Ao’s appearance gave Yue Jinghua an opportunity.

But unexpectedly, just when Yue Jinghua thought she had taken the Corrosive Corpse Pill and could retreat safely, a figure dived straight down from the high sky.

The battlefield was open, with nothing to cover. With his Sky Ascending Technique, Long Ao immediately located the Dark Demon Alchemist’s whereabouts, his face showing a murderous intent, and his clothes stained with demon blood.

"Likewise, I did not expect, besides the Four Symbols City Guards, there is another person daring to snatch food from under Long Ao’s nose."
