So, my father is this powerful!

——

Inside the camp.

Upon hearing Taoist Zhong’s words, General Wanyan’s eyes burned with enthusiasm: "So the Heavenly Dog Divine Demon is in the Saintly Ascension Realm?"

General Wanyan slammed the sheepskin map on the table heavily, speaking solemnly:

"If we can tame this demon and deploy it on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly become the greatest aid for the Fifth Prince in his quest for the throne! By then, who could stand against him?"

Taoist Zhong nodded with a smile, turned his head, and looked out at the dark mountains beyond the tent, his eyes carrying a subtle, inexplicable meaning.

"Quick! Report to the General! There’s a demon here!"

Just then, an urgent and panicked shout came from outside the tent.

General Wanyan and Taoist Zhong were both startled, exchanged a glance, and stepped outside the tent.

A fat officer with big ears jumped off his horse in a hurry, his body appearing clumsy from sheer terror; he staggered as he landed, almost falling to the ground.

"Demon! There’s a demon here!"

The officer’s expression was filled with fear, shouting loudly, his voice sharpened by terror, completely missing his usual authority.

"What sort of conduct is this, panicking like that!"

General Wanyan frowned with displeasure, loudly rebuked him, "What happened?"

"General!"

The fat officer crawled his way to General Wanyan, hands trembling, gesturing frantically, his voice carrying a sobbing tone:

"There’s a monster in Yu Family Village! Our brothers who went to recruit new soldiers in the village... were all killed, none survived!"

Monster?

Upon hearing this, General Wanyan’s heart jolted, instinctively looking at Taoist Zhong beside him, his gaze flashing with speculation, his lips moving slightly: "Could it be——"

Taoist Zhong gently shook his head, speaking with a determined expression:

"It cannot be the Heavenly Dog Divine Demon; we’ve been digging here for days and haven’t even reached its lair yet. How could it suddenly appear? I suspect it might be other demons coming from the Ten Thousand Mountains."

General Wanyan pondered for a moment, finding reason in Taoist Zhong’s words.

This place was adjacent to the Thousand Beasts Forest area of the Ten Thousand Mountains, where demons roamed freely. It was not uncommon for demons to occasionally escape from there to here.

Thinking of this, General Wanyan’s expression turned stern, and he snorted coldly: "Just a mere demon, what’s there to fear? I’ve fought on the battlefield for years and killed plenty!"

With a "swish," he drew the long knife from his waist, turned to Taoist Zhong, and said:

"Taoist Zhong, I’ll take some men to deal with the demon, you stay here and watch. If anything unusual happens, send someone to inform me at once——"

However, before General Wanyan could finish his words, a piercing scream suddenly erupted at the camp entrance.

The sound pierced like a sharp awl directly into everyone’s eardrums, making their hearts tighten involuntarily.

Everyone was startled, instinctively turning their heads toward the camp entrance.

In the dark night, a gigantic creature resembling a spider appeared before the camp.

Its enormous body practically blocked the entire camp entrance.

"What kind of demon is this?"

General Wanyan’s eyes widened, filled with shock.

He had seen quite a few demons, but the spider-like creature before him made him feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Taoist Zhong was also frightened by the scene.

He instinctively looked down at the green-bronze compass in his hand.

The compass was his magic treasure used to detect Demon Qi; usually, as long as a demon approached, it would respond. But now, it showed no reaction at all.

Taoist Zhong murmured in confusion: "Strange, why isn’t it sensing any Demon Qi?"

He quickly looked up again to scrutinize the demon that had charged into the camp. As it approached, Taoist Zhong shouted in alarm: "No! This isn’t a demon, it’s a person!"

"A person?"

Everyone looked perplexed.

As everyone was stunned, that "spider" again waved its long, sharp claws. A few caught-off-guard soldiers were instantly hit, blood splattering, falling into pools of blood.

Realizing the situation, General Wanyan’s face twisted with anger, shouting:

"Damn it, how dare you cause trouble in my camp; truly courting death. All men heed my order, first unit prepare the Heavenly Mechanism Crossbows, second unit quickly form a formation..."

The soldiers swiftly raised the Heavenly Mechanism Crossbows, aligning them in three ranks.

The front row soldiers knelt on one knee, securing the crossbows on their shoulders. The middle row soldiers knelt slightly, raising the crossbows slightly. The back row soldiers stood, holding the crossbows high.

At the command, the crossbow bolts fired towards Jiang Shouzhong like raindrops, dense and sharp, producing a whistling sound.

The remaining soldiers quickly formed small phalanxes, the phalanxes supporting each other, holding shields closely linked, forming a huge shield wall.

In the gaps between the shields, spears extended outward.

The spear tips gleamed with cold light.

After all, these were professional troops, able to swiftly regroup and counterattack even in chaos.

But facing Jiang Shouzhong, whose cultivation had reached the Saintly Ascension Realm, their attack power was evidently weak.

Jiang Shouzhong swung his eight claws, his figure flickering like a phantom through the attacks, easily deflecting the crossbow bolts and harvesting lives in the gaps.

Seeing this, General Wanyan roared furiously, charging towards Jiang Shouzhong with his long knife.

However, with just a mere contact, General Wanyan was sent flying like a fragile leaf.

"Deploy the chain nets!"

General Wanyan shouted loudly, climbing up from the ground.
