Long Yifei's face turned cold, and he nocked three iron arrows onto the bowstring, their cold light gleaming.

Tan Shuiyue exclaimed in surprise, "Commander, can you spare his life? After all, he is my martial uncle!"

"They're a menace if they stay! They have to be eliminated!"

Long Yifei released his right hand and fired three arrows simultaneously, each imbued with immense arrow energy.

Fang He held the sword in his left hand and unleashed several sword beams, but failed to block the third arrow.

laugh!

An arrow pierced Fang He's heart; the iron arrow protruded through his body, spraying blood everywhere.

However, the blood was black; even fresh blood was tainted.

Tan Shuiyue's lips parted slightly, but she ultimately couldn't bring herself to say "Uncle-Master".

She was originally an outer disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect, but she was fortunate enough to receive guidance from Fang He, which led to her achievements today.

Although Fang He didn't offer much guidance, it was very helpful.

Therefore, in Tan Shuiyue's heart, Fang He's position is like that of a mentor, irreplaceable.

"Uncle Fang, may you rest in peace!"

Tan Shuiyue regained her composure and walked towards Long Yifei, glancing at Lan Hua as she went.

Being able to stay in the Demon Suppression Division and fight alongside Shen Yuyan and others, especially since she was a complete stranger, Tan Shuiyue naturally had to pay attention to her.

"Gong Xiu? The new guy?"

Before Lan Hua could speak, Long Yifei laughed and said, "Not bad, the new Demon Suppression Guard, your name is Lan Hua, you have some talent in archery!"

Shen Yuyan could hardly believe that the usually stingy Commander would actually speak up for his subordinates.

It's like the sun rising in the west.

"Lanhua?"

Tan Shuiyue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

Lan Hua had never liked the people of the Immortal Sword Sect, but she still nodded with a smile in response.

"Congratulations, Commander! Our Demon Suppression Division has recruited another capable assistant!"

Guo Kai had already followed him in and said with a smile, "Brother Lanhua, you were introduced by the Third Prince!"

Tan Shuiyue's pupils widened slightly. "The Third Prince's people?"

Lan Hua laughed and said, "More or less, I'm acting as the Third Prince's bodyguard!"

The murderous intent in Tan Shuiyue's eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant.

After a series of battles, the Demon Suppression Bureau was mostly destroyed, with only a few good buildings remaining.

Outside the Demon Suppression Tower, there were piles of thousands of demon beast corpses, and the stench of blood permeated the entire Demon Suppression Division.

If it weren't for the barrier, this stench of blood would probably have spread throughout the entire city of Long'an.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Long Yifei sighed, "The responsibility for the huge mess left by the Demon Suppression Division lies with me. However, the immediate task is to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible!"

Luo Xiaobei asked, "What should we do with these monster corpses?"

Long Yifei glanced at Lan Hua, "What brilliant idea do you have?"

Lan Hua thought for a moment, "Either bury it or burn it!"

Long Yifei was at his wit's end. "Whether it's burying or burning, it's a huge undertaking!"

Lan Hua added, "These monster corpses are no ordinary ones. If we bury them, they might be used by people with ulterior motives or by monsters themselves. It's better to leave them alone!"

Long Yifei nodded, "Pass down the order to move the body to the outskirts, dig a large pit, burn it, and then bury it!"

There were thousands of demonic beasts, some of which were so large that one person couldn't move them at all.

It took the group three whole days to completely burn the monster's corpse.

The entire western suburbs were filled with a burnt smell, which made the Demon Suppression Guards feel nauseous.

Although the matter of the demon beasts has been dealt with, the Demon Suppression Division is in a terrible state. Even the dormitories were destroyed in the battle, and the people almost ended up on the streets.

The inns in Long'an City were packed with guests from the Demon Suppression Division.

Several days later.

Long Yifei gathered everyone together to assign an important task.

The main hall was not yet fully repaired. Sunlight streamed through a large hole in the roof, illuminating the center of the hall and making Long Yifei's greasy face appear rosy.

Long Yifei said with a serious expression, "I'll just say a few words, it won't take up too much of your time!"

"You all know what happened to the Demon Suppression Division a few days ago!"

"The Demon Suppression Tower is currently empty, with only the eighth and ninth floors imprisoning demonic beasts. The Demon Suppression Tower is desperately short of demonic beasts!"

"In the event of a powerful enemy launching a surprise attack on the capital, the defensive array will be rendered useless. Therefore, starting today, everyone must capture two demonic beasts for me within ten days!"

Everyone was speechless. The Demon Suppression Division had a total of 300 people, which meant that they had to capture 600 demon beasts within ten days.

Long Yifei added, "A Demon-Suppressing Guard at the Transformation Realm must capture at least one Transformation Realm demon beast!"

"This is too insane!"

"Commander, with your high cultivation level, shouldn't you capture a Danxia Realm demon beast?"

Some of the people expressed their protest.

Long Yifei said, "This is a demon-suppressing tower. What use is it to the capital's defense array if so many small fry are imprisoned here? It's a waste of space!"

"As for me, I'll also go out for a stroll. It would be best if I could catch a Danxia Realm demon beast, but at the very least, I'll catch a few Yuan Dan Realm demon beasts!"

Lan Hua was speechless. This major move by the Demon Suppression Division would probably make the demons within a hundred miles of the capital tremble in fear.

"Shouldn't we consider whether this monster is good or bad?" Lan Hua whispered.

Long Yifei was somewhat embarrassed. "It would be best if you could catch the evil monsters. If not, you'll have to figure it out yourselves!"

"By the way, if you all fail to complete the task, you can forget about receiving your salary for the next year!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed towards the outskirts of the city without waiting for Long Yifei to finish the meeting.

They were afraid that if they were a step too late, the small fish and shrimp would be snatched up by others.

In the blink of an eye, only Long Yifei remained in the main hall; even the deputy commander, Tan Shuiyue, had vanished without a trace.

Lan Hua smiled wryly, "For the foreseeable future, I'm afraid no more demonic beasts will dare to come to the capital!"

After leaving the dilapidated main hall, Lan Hua headed towards the outskirts of the city.

Although he was speechless, he still had to complete the task assigned by the commander.

"Lanhua!"

Long Yifei called Lan Hua to a stop.

Lan Hua stopped. "What is it?"

He was afraid that Long Yifei might act impulsively and order him to capture ten demonic beasts within ten days.

"Come with me!"

Long Yifei led Lan Hua to the martial arts arena.

The training ground was spotless, without a speck of dust, as if the blood of a demon beast had left no trace.

Long Yifei said, "I saw your archery skills that day!"

"How good is my archery?"

Long Yifei shook his head and said, "Your archery skills are good, but you're not very good at it!"

Lan Hua's expression changed slightly, and she bowed solemnly, "Please enlighten me, Commander!"

Long Yifei said, "It's too stiff, it lacks the agility of an arrow!"

"What is the name of the fourth move of the Invisible Arrow Technique?"

Lan Hua blurted out, "From all directions!"

Long Yifei shook his head and said, "But have you really achieved it in all directions?"

Lan Hua carefully understood Long Yifei's meaning; the attacks he used from all directions actually originated from one direction.

Essentially, it's not much different from firing four arrows at once; it doesn't even achieve the literal meaning of the move.

"Could it be that this 'four-sided attack' really involves firing four arrows simultaneously to kill the opponent from all directions?"

Long Yifei nodded, "That's right, that's exactly the point!"

Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "So, I've been misunderstanding all along!"

"So how do we truly employ a strategy that works from all directions?"
