As a newcomer to the Demon Suppression Division, Lan Hua was supposed to be bullied by the older members, or at least given a warning.
But after a barbecue, it would be unreasonable not to give him a warm welcome.
Therefore, the usual practice of testing each other in the training ground was generously ignored by everyone.
The Demon Suppression Division is usually quite relaxed, but they do have occasional missions.
Long'an City is, after all, the capital city, blessed by the imperial lineage, so its spiritual energy is much richer than that of other places.
As a result, those monsters were also willing to come to the capital to wander around, and from time to time, monsters would injure people inside and outside the city.
On the fifth day after Lan Hua arrived at the Demon Suppression Division, Guo Kai took her on a mission.
This was the first mission he was assigned to the Demon Suppression Division.
Upon arriving at the scene, Lan Hua sensed something eerie.
According to the demon-suppressing guards who reported this, the monster that harmed people this time was cruel and bloodthirsty, the kind that would devour people without spitting out the bones.
This reminded Lan Hua of the forbidden area of the Pill God Temple and that black box.
"Could it be that they were infected by the white mist in the box?"
Lan Hua followed Guo Kai into a mountain forest, where bloodstains could be seen on the ground and leaves from time to time.
"ah!"
A scream echoed through the mountains and forests, startling everyone.
"That's Leonardo DiCaprio's voice. Is he dead or something?"
Guo Kai frowned and pointed, "That direction! Chase them!"
Everyone hurriedly followed, while Lan Hua lagged behind.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be at the front; after all, he was an archer, so it was always better to keep a distance.
The roars grew clearer, and screams followed one after another.
The group finally saw the true form of the monster; it turned out to be a giant gorilla, even larger than the two of them.
Its eyes were pitch black, blood foam hung from the corners of its mouth, and it was screaming wildly with its mouth open.
"Just as I thought!" Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise.
"But according to the Immortal Sword Sect, only three people were affected by the mist back then!"
Why would this gorilla exhibit a similar behavior?
Lan Hua was very puzzled.
"Could it be that this gorilla was infected later? I heard that an elder of the Immortal Sword Sect was infected and was seriously injured before escaping. Could it have harmed the gorilla at that time?"
The more Lan Hua thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
The berserk gorilla was terrifying. Judging from its size alone, it had at least the cultivation level of the seventh level of the Transformation Realm, and possibly even the ninth level.
There isn't a single person at the seventh level of the Transformation Realm among our own forces; this is troublesome.
However, the crazed gorilla had lost its mind and no longer remembered any of its special moves. All it knew was to keep raising its fists and smashing them at the crowd.
boom…
The battlefield was extremely brutal; trees in the forest fell one after another, leaving the ground in ruins.
Although the gorilla only knew how to use brute force, each punch contained powerful demonic energy, causing the demon-suppressing guards to run around in panic, clutching their heads.
Seeing his men being outmatched one by one, Guo Kai quickly drew his long sword and slashed down with a force that seemed to shake the earth and cause mountains to crumble.
However, the gorilla has thick skin and tough fur for protection, and with a simple punch, it shattered Guo Kai's blade energy.
"Good heavens, everyone, let's all charge in!" Guo Kai exclaimed urgently.
Unfortunately, only a few people dared to step forward; many others stood far away, clearly just observing.
Lan Hua knew these people; they were all recommended by several princes, and they did nothing while receiving their monthly salary.
They stir up trouble when there's nothing to do, but when something really happens, they refuse to step up and just cower in their shells.
However, they were, after all, the prince's men, and Guo Kai, as the commander, had no way to deal with them, so he had no choice but to bear the burden himself.
The group charged forward, their swords flashing and their blades clashing.
Although the gorilla was temporarily subdued, it caused the already frenzied gorilla to unleash its ferocity once again.
With a roar, carrying powerful Yuan energy, a group of Pure Yuan Realm Demon Suppression Guards were sent flying.
Then he punched Guo Kai.
This punch was incredibly fast and fierce. Even when Guo Kai unleashed a blade of energy dozens of meters long, he was still no match for it and was sent flying.
Guo had always been in a tough spot, but he never expected to run into such a troublesome guy today.
He looked around and saw that his men were all injured, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
The gorilla roared and slammed both fists at Guo Kai at the same time.
In the critical moment, Lan Hua drew his bow to its fullest extent, about to fire, when a beam of light suddenly appeared.
The light was like moonlight, gentle and warm.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and then a sword beam struck the gorilla's wrists.
The one who unleashed that sword light was none other than Chen Kun.
Lan Hua looked at Chen Kun and found him to be calm and composed, as if his sword strike just now was merely a casual one.
"What amazing swordsmanship!" Lan Hua thought to herself.
"The Wind and Moon Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a major sect in the Western Regions; its disciples are not to be underestimated!"
The gorilla cried out in pain and pulled its arms back, only to be struck by Guo Kai's blade strike.
Although the blade strike failed to pierce the gorilla's skin, it did inflict some internal injuries.
Although the crazed gorilla had lost its mind, it seemed to know the enemy's strength deep down, and immediately took off running.
It was already very tall, and when it ran wildly, no one could catch up with it.
Seeing this, Lan Hua unleashed the invisible arrow she had been gathering, using the move "Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea".
One arrow was fired, and two more appeared, their powerful blasts striking the gorilla's two legs.
Now that Lan Hua has broken through to the Transformation Realm, the power of her Invisible Arrow Technique has greatly increased.
Although it is just a light arrow formed from condensed Yuan energy, it is supported by a force of ten thousand jin, and the light arrow breaks through the surface with a single point, so its power should not be underestimated.
Two beams of light pierced the gorilla's legs, and the running gorilla suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, it wasn't a demonic beast at the Yuan Dan realm; otherwise, its tough hide would have prevented even the black iron talisman arrows from penetrating it.
"What amazing archery skills! Well done!" Guo Kai laughed.
He didn't seem surprised; after all, someone who could bring down a large bird from the sky must be quite skilled.
Chen Kun glanced at Lan Hua, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
As soon as the gorilla fell to the ground, several demon-suppressing guards pounced on it, each throwing out a chain to bind the gorilla tightly.
These chains are no ordinary chains; they are specially crafted by the Demon Suppression Division for binding demonic beasts, and are powerful enough to restrain demonic beasts at the Yuan Dan realm.
The gorilla struggled for a long time, but still couldn't break free from the demon-binding chains.
However, those demon-suppressing guards were not in a good position at this moment, after all, they only had the cultivation level of the Pure Yuan Realm.
The gorilla rolled around on the ground, and the demon-suppressing guards couldn't hold onto the chains at all, risking it breaking free at any moment.
Lan Hua shouted, "Commander Guo, why not just kill them all?"
Guo Kai shook his head. "No, I'll do it!"
He personally grabbed a chain, and the pressure on the demon-suppressing guards suddenly decreased.
Seeing that even with the commander's personal intervention, the demon beast could not be suppressed, Chen Kun sheathed his sword and also pulled up a chain.
Only then were the group able to firmly restrain the berserk gorilla.
Lan Hua approached the group and asked curiously, "Commander Guo, why didn't you just kill it on the spot? Wouldn't that have been easier?"
Guo Kai laughed and said, "You don't know this, but when the Demon Suppression Division takes action, they rarely kill the demon beasts directly. Instead, they suppress the demon beasts and bring them back to the division!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "Why is that?"
