The twenty heavily armored warriors immediately followed his orders and began to move.
They quickly formed a formation.
Su Bai nodded slightly.
This shows that the unit is highly obedient.
The equipment is also very good.
They truly deserve to be called elite warriors of the Kingdom's First Legion.
Unfortunately, they encountered an even more cruel and ferocious demon race. Without a miracle, this force would likely have been wiped out.
And now, he is that miracle.
Lightning Hand!
A dazzling bolt of lightning erupted from the greatsword, sweeping out and striking the charging demon, instantly turning it into charred remains.
"The skill effect has changed?"
Su Bai was taken aback.
But they did not hesitate.
He swung his giant sword, unleashing a series of ten-foot-long streaks of azure sword energy that slayed all the demons on his left and right.
The battle is over.
The soldiers' faces showed no joy, only numbness. Someone asked:
"Captain, should we continue pursuing that demon?"
The test isn't over yet. What does the first hurdle test? Strength, or courage?
Su Bai's thoughts were interrupted.
He nodded and said:
"Chase!"
The first test has just been passed, and according to the sages' requirements, he must continue leading the team to pursue the remaining challenges.
He was able to easily pass the first level thanks to his strength.
But what happens next is still unknown.
The team took a short break.
Since it was a test, Su Bai knew that he probably wouldn't be able to take the loot from those monsters out with him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
A few minutes later, the team of only 21 people set off again.
Passing through the mountain pass.
Smoke billowed ahead.
A tranquil village standing in the countryside appears in the distance.
Su Bai led his team to the village and saw that the village was peaceful and serene. Children were playing, men were working in the fields, and women were washing clothes and cooking. There was no sign of the village being disturbed by the demons. It was a paradise on earth.
At this moment, a soldier stepped forward and reported to him:
"Captain, the escaped demon has the ability to change his appearance, so he may be hiding in this village. I suggest sealing off the entire village and searching it thoroughly!"
The relevant information had already surfaced in Su Bai's mind when he spoke.
Su Bai remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand and gave the order:
"Seal off the village...kill everyone!"
"...yes!"
The soldiers were only slightly taken aback before immediately obeying the orders. During the previous probing, Su Bai had already seen through the clues. These soldiers who followed him were not purely free-spirited. Although they still retained some ability to communicate, they were more like ruthless puppets carrying out their missions.
Even with such a brutal order, the soldiers carried it out without hesitation.
Twenty elite warriors clad in heavy armor stormed into the village.
It's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The unarmed villagers had absolutely no chance to fight back.
In a short while.
The entire peaceful village was engulfed in blood and fire.
Su Bai's expression remained unchanged throughout. He carried the greatsword into the village, kicked open a tightly closed wooden door, and immediately a man with bloodshot eyes rushed out. He swung a hoe down hard, hitting Su Bai's chest armor and leaving only an inconspicuous dent.
Whoosh!
The giant sword slashed horizontally.
They cut the man in half at the waist.
Su Bai turned his head and glanced at the bloodied and mangled corpse on the ground, then calmly said something.
"It seems it wasn't you."
They broke into the house.
A mother and child huddled in a corner came into his view.
"My lord, my lord, please don't..."
The woman begged him for mercy in terror, while the child wailed inconsolably.
Su Bai sighed.
"If you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck. Don't be afraid, close your eyes. It'll be quicker for you to die by my hand soon."
He whispered a few words and then suddenly swung the greatsword.
Whoosh!
A deep blue wind blade slashed out instantly, tearing the woman's body apart, but the child she was holding suddenly leaped up and dodged the attack.
The two-year-old boy's eyes turned deep purple.
It was incredibly eerie.
It looked at Su Bai with apprehension, and sneered repeatedly: "Everyone says that we demons are cruel, but we are not as cruel as you. You can even be ruthless to your own kind!"
"I did it to save more people."
Su Bai said calmly.
Wind Blade!
Before the ever-changing demon could speak again, he suddenly unleashed three wind blades and then charged forward.
"Heh! You think you can kill me so easily? Not so easy! Since you like killing, I'll let you kill to your heart's content!"
The shapeshifting demon's body suddenly transformed into a purple mist.
The wind blades fell in, tearing open a few gaps before disappearing completely.
Su Bai immediately stopped, his eyes flashing with hostility. "So it's royalty. No wonder you're so confident."
The shapeshifting demon vanished with the mist.
The next moment.
But a soldier covered in blood pushed open the door and walked into the room.
"Captain! The village has been cleared, not a single person was left alive, but the monster hasn't been found!"
"knew."
Su Bai glanced back at him and said, "Go and call everyone to assemble."
"yes!"
The soldier turned and left.
The burning flames engulfed the village buildings and the corpses scattered on the ground. In less than half a moment, this peaceful and serene village had been transformed into a living hell.
The soldiers regrouped in the village square.
Su Bai's gaze swept over each person.
He did not speak.
