Chapter 417: Chapter 371 Demon Suppression General!

Zhao Congnan and Ma San’s faces were full of despair.

It’s not surprising.

Having just escaped from Qin City, wanting to join the Human Race’s army, who would have thought that the cities outside had been annihilated, and they would have to turn back to defend Qin City.

No one could have expected this.

"Brother Wu, what should we do now?" Zhao Congnan asked.

Wu Xiaode sighed, "Then we have no choice but to go back to Qin City."

"But that woman is too terrifying," Ma San said hurriedly.

Wu Xiaode spoke slowly, "I guess she won’t make a big move against us ants ..."

Only those who have entered the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm are recognized by the spirit—

At least they were recognized once.

Even if they don’t help, they wouldn’t massacre the humans in the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm.

Because it’s completely unnecessary, and it might even bring trouble upon themselves.

After all, this world belongs to the Path of the Human Emperor.

This world even issues missions.

Who would dare be careless?

As Wu Xiaode was silently comforting himself, he suddenly saw a bird flying in the sky, flapping its wings and landing on Zhao Congnan’s shoulder.

Zhao Congnan took the note from the bird’s leg, unfolded it, and read.

"An hour ago, the activation of the Qin City Array was detected!"

"Order!"

"All the survivors, from all routes, avoid the demons’ attacks and gather immediately at Qin City."

Zhao Congnan’s face showed a bitter expression as he handed the note to Wu Xiaode, who after reading, passed it to Ma San.

Yes, the Qin City Array was indeed activated.

But it was destroyed again.

What should they do now?

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, then looked at the Book of the Dead.

Several lines of ice-crystal small text appeared on the pages:

"You have completed the third Human Emperor’s mission and one hidden mission. You may stay here for 24 hours or return at any time."

"You may also continue to take on missions."

Wu Xiaode raised his eyebrow.

Only stay for 24 hours?

He didn’t know whether the two angels could awaken after 24 hours.

If they didn’t ...

"Take on missions," he said to himself.

—With missions, there is time.

At least until the two angels wake up, and he himself gains a stronger "End," then go and fight that life-and-death battle with Abner.

As Wu Xiaode willed it, lines of ice-crystal text emerged on the Book of the Dead:

"Human Emperor Mission Four released:"

"Defender."

"Description: A revolution is sweeping through the entire Human Emperor’s Secret Realm. The fate of the Human Race hangs in the balance, on the brink of life or death. All may be rewritten. Now, join in defending the last city of the Human Race!"

"Note: This revolution was triggered by you. You played a vital role in the Hidden Mission, thus, you’ve been granted a Hidden Identity to evade pursuers."

"—This is the convenience afforded to you by the Human Emperor."

Hidden Identity?

Wu Xiaode suddenly found his foot kicking something.

It was the pack of a city-guarding soldier.

—Since Zhao Congnan and Ma San both carried packs, he took one to blend in.

There wasn’t supposed to be much in this pack, but now it felt surprisingly bulky, its contents unknown.

Curious, he casually untied the pack.

Inside was a perfectly organized set of bright red Battle Armor, next to which lay a waist badge and a seal.

Thump!

The moment these items appeared, Zhao Congnan and Ma San immediately knelt down, clasping their fists together:

"We pay our respects to the Demon Suppression General!"

Wu Xiaode: "..."

This was utterly ridiculous.

He looked at the bright red Battle Armor, and several lines of text emerged from it:

"Demon Suppression General’s Armor."

"Exclusive Battle Armor for high-level generals."

"The full set includes a helmet, mask, shoulder armor, armguards, iron gloves, breastplate, Heart Protector, iron skirt, leg armor, and battle boots."

"This armor provides high defense capability;"

"Moreover, wearing the full set endows the wearer with two special effects:"

"1, Brave;"

"Each enemy you kill instantly replenishes your strength and vitality."

"2, Command;"

"When wearing this armor and carrying the Demon Suppression General’s seal, you can command nearby humans in battle and, depending on the mission, select rewards from the Human Emperor’s Treasure Vault."

"—Crafted personally by the Human Emperor, bestowed upon those who are valiant and adept in battle."

Given his recognition in front of the Human Emperor, it seems appropriate to take on missions.

Look how great the rewards are.

Not to mention how strong the armor set is, at least the mask can conceal one’s face—

If that Divine Girl has seen his face from hiding, wouldn’t this mask make him unrecognizable to her?

Wu Xiaode slapped the Battle Armor.

In an instant, all components of the Battle Armor lifted off, melding onto his body as if custom-fitted.

With the armor on, it emitted a bright red light, swirling around him continuously, imposing and awe-inspiring.

Wu Xiaode casually waved his hand, and with the movement of his armguard, the air slightly warped.

This was a defensive "field" emitted by the Battle Armor.

Typically invisible, on this Battle Armor, it was undeniably apparent.

Wu Xiaode recalled how the Human Emperor appeared on the Holy Walk Wall.

Dressed in an extremely imposing Battle Armor, several iron blood banners fluttering behind him—

—playing sanctified in front of others might be awkward, but when the Human Emperor does it, it’s truly admirable.

Wu Xiaode tucked the seal inside the lining of his armor and thought aloud:

"I hid my identity earlier to look for the traitor. Now, due to urgency, I must come forward."

"Understood—so all along, General, you were acting—I wondered how a soldier could overcome a Dragon," Zhao Congnan said, sincerely convinced.

"General, please forgive my arrogance in trying to teach you the Stepping Skill," Ma San said fearfully.

The mask concealed Wu Xiaode’s expression.

He stepped forward, helped Ma San up, and said, "Remember to diligently learn the Human Emperor Fist. It will certainly help you grow stronger."

"Yes, I will heed the General’s guidance," Ma San replied.

Wu Xiaode said, "Let’s go, back to Qin City."

"Yes!" the two responded in unison.

The trio was about to head back the way they had come when, turning around, they saw a person drop from the sky and stand before them.

—This was a woman adorned with poisonous snakes all over her body.

This time, she was not wearing a cloak.

She was dressed in a light purple long dress, her slim figure faintly visible, her eyes conveying a sense of distance and indifference.

If it weren’t for the writhing green, black, and blue snakes covering her body, her looks could have been described as stunning.

"Who are you?"

The woman sized up the three and asked.

At that question, Wu Xiaode felt he had a clue.

—Her asking this confirmed that she did not recognize Zhao Congnan and Ma San.

This also indicated that she hadn’t paid attention to the detailed situation in Qin City.

After all, Zhao Congnan, Ma San, and Sun Qian were survivors in the city; if she didn’t even recognize them, she certainly wouldn’t recognize him.

However, just to be cautious, Wu Xiaode did not take off his Battle Armor and instead assumed a posture ready to attack, exclaiming:

"Demon?"

The woman shook her head.

"Devil?" Wu Xiaode asked again.

The woman shook her head again.

"Are you one of us, human?" Wu Xiaode asked once more.

The woman thought for a moment and then slowly nodded.

"Good, come with me, we need to defend Qin City," Wu Xiaode said.

The woman’s expression changed, and she suddenly looked towards the Void in front of her.

At the same time, the Book of the Dead also opened, revealing lines of ice crystal text:

"The effects of the Demon Suppression General’s full armor and the Demon Suppression Seal have automatically activated:"

"’Leader’ begins to take effect."

"You have issued the Demon Suppression mission."

"Please wait for the other party to accept/reject."

Wu Xiaode quickly read through it and internally exclaimed, marveling at the situation.

—He could now issue missions!

This directly proved that he was a Human Race General from within the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm, not an outsider.

Regardless—

This Divine Girl wouldn’t make things difficult for someone who could issue missions, obviously looking pivotal and dressed in impressively imposing Battle Armor native to the secret realm.

He hadn’t even completed his ultimate evolution yet, he definitely didn’t want to fight her!

Her time-based arrival technique was too terrifying!

—Will she accept the mission?

"May I ask, General, what exactly happened? Why have the demons begun to furiously attack the city?"

The Divine Girl glanced at the Void, her expression composed as she respectfully asked.

—She doesn’t know!

This time, the Holy Walk Wall was to thank.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the explanation on the Book of the Dead and slightly nodded.

During his broadcast, the Holy Walk Wall had shown the sight to every human in the secret realm, but not to this Divine Girl!

The explanation from the Book of the Dead was that this woman could potentially become his enemy, so when activating the power of the Holy Walk Wall, she was deliberately excluded!

Wu Xiaode slightly smiled and said, "Because we obtained the Human Emperor Fist technique."

"What?" the Divine Girl exclaimed.

Her aura instantly surged, as if she was ready to strike at any moment.

"Are you planning a rebellion?" Ma San blurted out.

The Divine Girl pressed her lips together, and all the snakes on her body stood up, staring at the three men.

This is bad!

Wu Xiaode stopped breathing for a moment and clenched his fists.

Suddenly, Zhao Congnan pulled Ma San behind him and took the lead, saying,

"Are you truly one of our Human Race? The Human Emperor Fist technique was supposed to be taught to everyone; why not you?"

Wu Xiaode internally exclaimed again.

Ma San’s remarks would only worsen the situation, while Zhao Congnan immediately perceived the reason for her change in attitude and spoke the words that defused the situation.

Truly a figure of Deputy General caliber!

"What? Everyone has learned the Human Emperor Fist technique?" The Divine Girl’s killing intent paused as she couldn’t help but ask.

Ma San once again rushed forward, loudly declaring,

"Of course! The descendant of the Human Emperor used Great Power to demonstrate that fist technique to everyone. Even a Soldier with as little martial prowess as me found it profoundly beneficial!"

Good!

His words corrected his earlier blunder!

Ma San did well!

"Then, who among you has the deepest understanding of the Human Emperor Fist?" the Divine Girl asked.

Zhao Congnan and Ma San looked at each other, both hesitating.

—With the Demon Suppression General here, if he had any plans, what if they said the wrong thing?

Wu Xiaode knew it was his turn to speak, so he stepped forward, shielding the two men behind him, and spoke confidently,

"I received the authentic transmission; they often consult me about anything they don’t understand—how about it, would you like to learn it? I can teach you if you wish."

He focused his thoughts.

Lines of ice crystal text immediately appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"Using the Demon Suppression General’s armor and seal forged by the Human Emperor himself, the ’Leader’ you activated has formed a complete mission, issued to the other party:"

"Demon Suppression Mission: Defend the City!"

"Return to Qin City with the Demon Suppression General and his followers, resist all demon attacks, and protect the city until all arrays are activated."

"Mission Reward:"

"The Demon Suppression General will personally teach you the third form of the Human Emperor Fist, ’Origin’."

"Do you accept?"

Wu Xiaode watched these ice crystal texts then shifted his gaze back to the Divine Girl.

This was the Tao Power developed by the Human Emperor for future generations of the Human Race!

Wouldn’t you want it?

Slight hesitation appeared on the woman’s face, all the snakes on her body retracted into her skin, vanishing without a trace.

She now looked like a normal human woman, serene and docile.

"I was impatient just now and offended you, please do not take offense, General," the Divine Girl said with a smile and a respectful gesture.

On the Book of the Dead, a new line of ice crystal text suddenly appeared:

"The other party has accepted your mission."

Wu Xiaode waved his hand with a commanding air and said,

"What offense to take? We’re all our own people; a bit of vigilance is normal. Enough said, let’s go, back to Qin City!"

"Yes, General!"

The four turned around and raced towards Qin City.
