Chapter 412 Disappointment
After Qing Yangzi finished his instructions, the dragon girl and the monks in the hall did not show any emotional fluctuations and directly expressed their agreement, as if they, like Wang Zhifan, had accepted the mission of fighting the demon.

"Since the three of you have understood the whole story, let's get started right away. Currently, almost all of our disciples have been dispatched. Some areas are having trouble clearing out the demonic troubles, and we urgently need your help."

The middle-aged Taoist held the Tianyuan Plate in his left palm and pointed a finger of his right hand at a bean-sized black spot on its surface, then said:

"This is Shenliang Mountain, 1,300 miles west of Tianyuan City. Our disciples have discovered that there are two demon generals and more than 10,000 demons. Who among you is willing to go and clear them out?"

"I."

As soon as Wang Zhifan heard this, he expressed his willingness to take action. He had long wanted to see the power of the demon.

"I'll go. It's very close to the ancient sea and I'm most familiar with it."

The dragon girl with an imposing aura replied with the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword.

"I can go too."

The thin monk in gray monk's robe did not hesitate.

Seeing that the three masters he valued were so enthusiastic, Qing Yangzi nodded with satisfaction, and made arrangements:

"I believe that you three have the ability to deal with the two demon generals, but this demonic infestation may last for several days, so it is better to be cautious and save energy... Then, Fellow Daoist Fanyun and Master Longdao will go ahead and deal with it, while Master Kongjian will deal with another smaller demonic infestation. How do you think?"

The owner of Qingyang Palace had made all the arrangements so clear, so the three of them naturally had no reason to hesitate and set off immediately.

However, they did not travel directly to the target location, but used a high-end facility in Tianyuan City: the Earth Shrinking Array.

The Shrinking Earth Array can be simply understood as a portal to a self-defined destination in this world. It can significantly shorten the distance between two places, as long as the user determines the geographical location he wants to go.

Of course, the consumption generated each time this kind of high-end facility is used is not something that ordinary people can bear. Most ordinary people in Tianyuan City have heard of the Earth-Shrinking Array but have never used it themselves. The fact that Qingyangzi can open the Earth-Shrinking Array for Wang Zhifan and others is enough to show the personal energy he possesses.

In this way, as Wang Zhifan and the Dragon Girl, who had accepted the first mission, disappeared in the central formation of Tianyuan City, they appeared in Shenliang Mountain, 1,300 miles away, at an astonishing speed.

This place looked quite ordinary, not extremely desolate nor a good place for Feng Shui. The two of them appeared on the top of a mountain, which had a good view and was enough to overlook the whole situation.

"There are a lot of unusual auras in that direction... and there seems to be some noises coming..."

Wang Zhifan sensed the suspected enemy's location the moment he landed, but he was not very sure. After all, he had never seen a demon before, and there was a possibility that he confused the local special product with the demon.

However, when he saw the dragon girl not far away jump off the top of the mountain without hesitation and fly towards the direction he sensed, he realized that his judgment was correct, and immediately used his lightness skills to catch up.

The Dragon Girl's way of flying is completely different from his. She seems to have a natural ability to fly. She doesn't need to step on the air with her feet or be surrounded by strong winds. She is like a magical bird without wings. She just jumped from the top of the mountain, but she can maintain a long and high-speed glide and can easily and independently control the direction of flight.

Wang Zhifan activated the state of wind and thunder surrounding his whole body to keep up with the flying speed of the woman. Perhaps it was because his lightness skill made him look quite impressive, which caused the dragon girl to look back at him halfway, but she did not say anything, which showed that she was indeed a woman with a relatively introverted personality.

Soon, the two of them crossed several mountains and saw an unusual scene in the valley below.

They saw many strange-looking humanoid beings gathered in the valley and busy themselves. Some of them seemed to be using various tools to cut down trees, others were digging rocks, and still others seemed to be leveling the ground of the valley. The last few were scattered around, dragging various corpses and piling them up in the central area of ​​the valley.

It can be clearly seen that among the corpses there are many kinds of animals native to the mountains, such as wild deer, tigers, etc. There are also some who are wearing coarse clothes and are suspected to be mountain people living nearby, and there are also a few who are obviously Taoist monks.

"Are these demons? They look really weird... But where are the two demon generals mentioned in the intelligence?"

Wang Zhifan didn't pay much attention to the densely packed ordinary demons below. To him, these guys could be easily killed. He needed to determine the location of the tricky enemy first, but it seemed that the demon general who was said to be equivalent to the innate realm cultivator was nowhere to be seen.

This situation also caused the Dragon Girl beside her to frown. She covered the lower half of her face with a black cloth and thought for a moment before turning to Wang Zhifan and said:
"You deal with these demons, I'll go find the demon general."

The voice was cool and crisp, with a certain unquestionable tone.

However, Wang Zhifan was not the type who liked to be ordered around. He immediately shook his head and replied with a faint smile:

"No, I'll leave this to you. I participated in this mission just to fight the demon general. I have to deal with the demon general."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to instantly become several degrees colder. A woman with dragon horns on her forehead looked at him coldly, and a tense atmosphere instantly emerged.

But Wang Zhifan didn't care about the empty pressure from this woman, and he also didn't want to cause an internal conflict in the first mission, so he planned to split his troops into two groups and look for the enemy on their own.

But at this moment, the alien woman named Mieyue Longdao turned around and flew straight down to the valley below, leaving a message for Wang Zhifan behind her:

"Okay, leave it to you."

When Wang Zhifan finished hearing her words, she had already burst out at a terrifying speed and fell into the demons in the valley.

Then Wang Zhifan saw her figure like a long tornado. Wherever it passed, the demons fell down in an instant and turned into debris. The sharp double swords in her hands destroyed the parking lot like a tornado. No demon could resist even for a moment.

"..."

For a moment, Wang Zhifan felt slightly embarrassed. He didn't expect this woman to be so straightforward. When she failed to arrange anything for him, she went down to work directly. So he hurriedly took action and left this place as quickly as possible to look for the two demon generals.

With the first encounter with the demon just now, it became much easier for Wang Zhifan to find the demon general. He only had to look for one with a similar aura to the demon but more intense and evil. This was not a difficult task with his extraordinary perception.

"Since Qingyangzi used the Earth-Shrinking Array to send us here, the demon general that needs to be dealt with must be not far away... Judging from the purpose of their invasion, they should be attacking a key location..."

He pushed the Wind and Thunder Sky-Stepping Art to its limit, and his figure circled around to expand the scope and carefully explore. It didn't take long for him to sense unusual movements. When he stepped through the sky and arrived at the place, he found that it looked like a small town in the mountains, or a relatively large mountain village. Above the town was floating a bloody and evil aura that was about to materialize, and he could hear unknown roars and voices coming continuously.

"Run! I'll stop the demon!"

"Ah!!! I'm going to fight you!"

"Why hasn't Third Uncle come yet? I can't stop him anymore!"

……

Following the complex atmosphere and sounds around him, Wang Zhifan's figure swept over the town and clarified the overall situation here.

To put it simply, this place is experiencing an invasion by another group of demons. Demons of all shapes and sizes are killing people indiscriminately here. The locals are fighting hard but suffering heavy casualties. There are also some Taoists who should be reinforcements who are fighting with all their might.

"Demon General... Demon General... Those two should be them! Why are there two more somewhere else?"

Wang Zhifan's goal was very clear, he had to find and eliminate the most dangerous opponent first, otherwise it would be bad if he alerted the enemy and let him escape. However, he found the situation a little unexpected, as there were actually four suspected demon generals!
The actual situation did not completely match the intelligence, and he had considered this situation, so he was not too surprised. He immediately took action and rushed towards a target location.

At the same time, in a house in this small mountain town, a man in Taoist green robes was in danger.

His clothes were torn in many places, with traces of blood in many of the holes. The long sword in his hand also showed signs of bending, and it was obvious that he had been fighting for a long time.

"Break the evil eyes!"

This Taoist was standing in the empty courtyard at this time, but he looked nervous. He held a sword in one hand and made Taoist gestures with the other, making his eyes emit extraordinary brilliance.

Relying on the Taoist magic of divine eyes, he tried hard to observe the movements around him, including the top of his head and the ground beneath his feet. He seemed to know that something was targeting him. He could not act rashly and had to remain highly vigilant, otherwise if he revealed a flaw, he would be doomed.

Suddenly, there was a slight unusual movement coming from behind him, and the Taoist turned around abruptly and slashed with his sword!
But his sword only hit a small stone, and the stone innocently broke into two pieces and fell to the ground, as if someone was playing a joke on him.

The Taoist's reaction to this was not at all relaxed. Instead, he turned around and swung his sword continuously as if in response to the stress, frantically attacking the non-existent enemy, as if he had fallen into a state of madness!
Just as this person lost his composure, a short and strange figure appeared on a rooftop a few feet away.

It is about the height of a teenager, with a black body and a shriveled figure, hunched over like an old man. Its green face and fangs are an accurate description of its appearance, and its pair of tiny blood-red eyes are enough to make any timid child scream and cry.

But compared to its terrifying appearance, the powerful aura on it and the wisdom flashing in its bloodshot eyes are even more frightening, which means that it is not an ordinary demon, either in terms of strength or intelligence.

Finally, this extraordinary demon world being determined that his desired prey had been trapped, and the other party had lost his mind and fallen into madness. It was time for him to take action and harvest it.

Then, just as it suddenly appeared, it jumped out from the roof silently, at a speed so fast that it could not be captured by ordinary people's eyes, but it did not make any sound and did not cause the slightest breath fluctuation.

It even calculated the path of the mad opponent's random slashing, landed behind the opponent with precise timing, then stretched out its black claws to grab the opponent's neck, ready to bite the Taoist to death with its sharp fangs.

puff!
A bright light appeared at this moment, neither too early nor too late. The moment it appeared, it pierced through the demon's neck, causing his movements to stop instantly, and his ugly and ferocious head slowly fell off.

The strange thing was that this sharp light flashed and disappeared, but no one saw the person who shot it pass by, and no one saw its trajectory. It was as if it suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was really difficult to defend against, and no wonder this powerful demon died instantly.

The same thing happened in another battle.

The victim in that direction was a tall demon who looked like a multi-armed ape. The demon was fighting with several indigenous monks. Relying on his thick skin, great strength and simple and practical attack methods, he was suppressing his opponents and was preparing to add a few more corpses to the corpse surrounding him.

But its body, as strong as steel, suddenly broke, and several knife lights appeared out of nowhere and split it into more than ten pieces, causing the natives who were fighting with it around to be stunned and unable to understand.

"It…it's dead!"

"what happened?!"

“Who helped us?!”

……

These natives couldn't even tell where the people who came to help were. They were shocked and exclaimed in amazement, but when they looked around they didn't see any expert.

What they didn't know was that Wang Zhifan, who had accomplished all these achievements, was standing in an inconspicuous little house. There was something that looked like a scroll floating above his head. With a disappointed expression on his face, he put the scroll into his personal space.

"Two of them died instantly after being unable to withstand my ice power... Two of them were cut into pieces by the ordinary attacks I cast with the Demon Scroll... These demon generals are really not that strong... I was so cautious..."

It turned out that Wang Zhifan was disappointed that his opponent, whom he had been looking forward to, was far from meeting his expectations. Not to mention that he was not allowed to use his real skills, even the warm-up for him was not up to standard.

After confirming the location of the Demon General, the first thing he did was to check their perception ability. He thought these guys would be able to find his trace, but in the end, no one noticed him. They were all busy tormenting the opponents in front of them.

Although this was related to his low-key entry, he did not use his invisibility ability, nor did he try his best to suppress his aura. Normally, enemies of sufficient level should be able to detect his appearance, but it was obvious that they were not qualified.

Not to mention the offense and defense, Wang Zhifan prioritized the use of ice source power and demon scroll projection attacks, with the aim of testing his opponent to save himself.

These two types of attacks are indeed extremely tricky for ordinary enemies and almost impossible to counter, but the problem is that he is attacking the so-called demon generals, the elites of the demon world.

The result was very disappointing to him. These demon generals were killed instantly without even a struggle, which was a complete waste of his efforts.
