The Flesh and Blood War Chariot continuously retreated, the bony legs and wheels under the vehicle scraping against the hard ground, producing a piercing noise and sparks flying.
The part of the chariot that was hit experienced a small-scale distortion.
"How is it?" Mountain and River Origin slowly stood up.
Zhou Leng shook his sore arm and said, "Not bad. As expected of a Bone Forger Innate, truly formidable."
Such a massive collision caused the illusion formed by the Magic Transformation Ring to distort.
Zhou Leng ended the demon transformation, revealing his true form.
"A giant of the Human Race who can wield True Qi, interesting. No wonder you've killed so many Demons, you must be a genius of the Human Race. Your flesh, it smells so delicious..."
The many mouths and eyes on the face of the Flesh and Blood War Chariot twisted and laughed in unison, then suddenly accelerated to an unimaginable speed.
Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin, full of valor, still did not avoid it, and struck out with palms and fists together.
Boom...
Amidst the huge collision sound, Zhou Leng flew back over ten meters, and Mountain and River Origin fell to the ground, rolling backward continuously.
They each collided against the walls on both sides, crashing into different houses.
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot looked down; where it was hit, the chariot body twisted inward, revealing clear palm and fist imprints.
Inside the chariot, large chunks of flesh shattered into mangled pulp.
The bony legs and wheels cracked in many places.
The road was scattered with splattered blood.
"Such powerful geniuses. Your flesh, it smells so delicious..."
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot charged straight towards the most appetizing Mountain and River Origin, its gaze filled with longing.
Pop pop pop...
On the sides of its half-flesh body, huge arms emerged, four on each side, each three meters long.
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot rushed into the large hole left in the wall, the eight arms reaching forward, eight large hands grabbing at the sitting Mountain and River Origin.
Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound came from beneath the chariot's body.
It turned to see the human appearing behind the chariot, sweeping a leg horizontally, damaging several legs and wheels.
"Damn it..."
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot's body did not turn, the eight arms simultaneously reversed direction, grabbing towards Zhou Leng behind it.
Halfway through the grab, Mountain and River Origin sprang up from the ground, punching its chest.
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot's five to six meters tall body was high, but Mountain and River Origin was over seven meters.
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot screamed, and half of its arms suddenly slapped towards Mountain and River Origin.
No matter how formidable Mountain and River Origin was, being slapped by four arms, his body was like a giant ball being slammed into the wall, crashing through walls of two rooms, kicking up clouds of dust.
Zhou Leng seized this opportunity, dashed under the vehicle, grasped the lower end of the chariot body with both hands, his muscles swelling, veins twisting, and lifted fiercely upwards.
The terrifying chariot, weighing fifty tons, was flipped upwards.
The tremendous force shattered two layers of ceilings consecutively, burst out of the highest rooftop, flew out, and smashed onto a neighbor's rooftop, falling with a crash, breaking through floors all the way, finally crashing into the basement.
Rumble...
The entire structure of the building was finally utterly destroyed and collapsed with a crash.
Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin, clutching their heads, rushed into the street.
The wall of the neighboring house exploded open, and amidst countless debris, the Flesh and Blood War Chariot charged out.
The two against one demon, the battle resumed.
The trio transformed into building destroyers, like three heavily armored tanks moving through villas and shops, clashing fiercely.
The walls were smashed, beams snapped, doors and windows torn, roofs collapsed...
Houses collapsed one after another, and the two plus one demon, injuries increased, and the wounds became heavier.
The more injured the Flesh and Blood War Chariot became, the stronger its craving for the two's flesh.
Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin were extremely excited, finally encountering a true demon master.
Let him then test the results of the cultivation these days!
Two great geniuses newly entering the True Liquid Innate, across a layer of Blood Shocking Innate, directly attacking a Bone Forger Innate expert by two realms.
Occasionally, some Demons and counterattack Innates saw this scene, scared out of their wits, hurriedly retreated, and reported.
The three parties fought for a quarter of an hour, Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin consumed many pills and medicinal fruits, but ultimately, they were only True Liquid Innate; their body's recovery slowly couldn't keep up with the fight's damage.
Conversely, the Flesh and Blood War Chariot, its chassis cracked, body severely damaged, with half the wheels and legs gone, remained as fierce as ever.
An Upper-Rank Innate Demon, truly extraordinary.
The gap of two realms exceeded expectations.
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot charged again, Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin were knocked into the ruins, sending dust flying everywhere.
The two hurried to rise, but their bodies swayed, unable to stand up, and only on the second try did they manage to stand.
The body had reached its limit.
"What a pity, if it were a physically weaker Bone Forger Innate, we might not have lost," Zhou Leng said.
"The Flesh and Blood War Chariot is inherently a master among Demons," Mountain and River Origin said.
Zhou Leng sighed inwardly; if he had now cultivated the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique to the First Heaven, his stamina would quickly recover, injuries would significantly reduce, and he could fight again.
Now, it was hard.
The two were covered in blood, scarred, and wrapped in dust.
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot snorted coldly, preparing to charge again.
Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin glanced at each other, ready to flee.
Suddenly, a team of Innate Martial Artists rushed over.
Leading them was a Bone Forger Innate from the Martial Arts Brigade.
"Take him down!"
The Innate Martial Artists spread into formation, charging at the Flesh and Blood War Chariot.
The Flesh and Blood War Chariot originally did not regard Humans of the same realm seriously, but now being severely injured by two Little Innates, it had no strength to fight, cursed, and turned to flee.
The Bone Forger Innate did not pursue, walking towards Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin.
"How is it?"
"Still manageable, fractured ribs a few times, arm and leg bones cracked, can hold on for a while," Zhou Leng said.
"Two Muscle Innate were killed, not many powerful Demons left, many Demons are madly fleeing. Our mission is basically complete. However, the City Lord of Broken Candle City, Radiance of the Bright Candle, is not in the city. Not sure if he fled or had other matters to attend to."
"No movement from the inn side?"
"None, they are behaving themselves."
"According to the plan, should we loot and plunder, or go aid the ambush team?"
"The ambush team hasn't signaled, let's continue hunting Demons, you guys loot and plunder, our Martial Arts Brigade generally doesn't do this unless it's an order from above."
The difference was significant between the Demon City Army and the supporting Martial Artists.
The more disciplined the team, the less they tolerate plundering.
"Alright."
Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin rested on the spot, used True Qi to mend broken bones, treated the fractures, then gathered with other Ancient River Sect disciples to search around the rich district.
The team would kill Demons on sight, and take good things straight away.
Half an hour later, they found over a hundred green-skinned Goblins carrying large bundles, jogging along the street corners.
"Definitely the Demon's subordinates."
The group swarmed up, killed all the Goblins, and evenly divided the treasures.
"Saved a lot of time."
"Let's go, find the Goblins."
In the distance, the inn.
Jade Wings' eyes were red, took three steps forward, then retreated step by step.
"Dare to kill my Goblins! I'll fight you! I curse you to have oozing sores on your head, ulcers on your feet, and die a horrible death..."
The curses of Jade Wings echoed continuously.
The people around the inn quietly waited, staying within the enveloping range of the green light.
Inside a room, the Demon poison gradually dissipated, Mad Prince Aiden was snoring asleep.
An hour later, at the ambush location, signal flares rose into the sky.
Zhou Leng turned his head to look.
The signal indicated the ambush had begun, all parties could assist if they completed their tasks.
The siege team gathered towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhou Leng and other Ancient River Sect disciples kept killing Demons and looting, though continually injured, the atmosphere was good.
Gathered at the City Lord's Mansion, they found some Martial Artists with gloomy faces, and everyone immediately restrained their smiles.
Twelve Innate were unconscious, placed in back bags, including a Muscle Innate who led the attack on the City Defense Army, showing the opponent's Hundred-Eyed Bow was strong.
There were also three bodies covered with white cloth laying on the ground.
Under the leadership of Deputy Brigadier General Gao Yunbo, everyone held a silent tribute, then carried out the final arrangements.
Some people carried injured in back bags, and the three bodies were wrapped and placed into the Magic Spirit Bag.
The group ran towards the direction of the ambush team.
Near the gate, Zhou Leng glanced back at Broken Candle City.
Half of the city was leveled, flames lingered, black smoke rose.
The city was empty, and beyond the city walls, Demons on the hill watched from afar.
The team ran out of the city, heading towards the ambush team.
When they arrived at the ambush point, the battle was over.
The ambush team members were cleaning up the battlefield and bandaging the wounded.
"Battle over, leave here immediately," Chen Shouhu, covered in scars, maintained his momentum.
The team reformed and quickly ran away, heading to the teleportation point.
On the way, Zhou Leng learned about the ambush battle.
The siege of Broken Candle City was relatively easy, but the ambush was extremely difficult.
This time, the Demon reinforcements exceeded expectations.
Two Demon Grandmasters led the team, more than five hundred Innate, and a regular Demon army of over ten thousand.
In the end, Chen Shouhu personally killed the two Demon Grandmasters.
The siege team lost three, the ambush team sacrificed nine, with many seriously injured.
In the end, over seventy critically injured were placed in back bags, carried away by comrades.
The outcome, a great victory.
The ambush and siege battles together killed over four hundred Innate, including over thirty Bone Forger and Muscle Innate.
Thousands of regular Demons.
Two Grandmasters.
The team successfully returned to the teleportation point and entered Shuizhou Demon City.
Medical and transport vehicles were parked at the teleportation exit, ready for protection.
All the wounded were sent to medical vehicles, while others boarded transport vehicles, heading back to base.
Mountain and River Origin sat alone in the open carriage of a large truck.
Zhou Leng left the armored car and jumped onto the truck.
Some Ancient River Sect disciples arrived one after another.
Everyone was exhausted and ready to sleep, but Chen Shouhu kept issuing commands in the counterattack group.
He required everyone to write battle reports, detailing the battle process and reviewing gains and losses.
Everyone was an Innate Master, though each had shortcomings in life, they were more disciplined in cultivation, and despite Chen Shouhu's high demands, they patiently wrote battle reports on the way.
As they wrote, many gained insights and benefited greatly.
Zhou Leng also discovered his own issues.
From the counterattack perspective, it was unwise to directly battle with the Flesh and Blood War Chariot, they should have lured it to other Bone Forger Innate with Mountain and River Origin and fought together.
Mainly, they hadn't expected the Flesh and Blood War Chariot to be so fierce.
However, from a Martial Artist's perspective, the fierce fight with the Flesh and Blood War Chariot greatly increased combat experience, significantly contributing to their growth.
