Chapter 247: Chapter 222: Colonel No. 9, Mission Accomplished (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

"We must report to the Nine Colonels immediately."

The Mountain Patrol Military Officer, upon witnessing this scene, turned pale and yelled urgently.

Saying this, he turned and vaulted away, heading towards Guang’an Prefecture, transforming into a streaking shadow, fleeing even faster in his haste than when he arrived.

His subordinate, the Demon Extermination Envoy, aware of the urgency, did not dare to delay and followed suit.

Just then,

A mocking and chilling snarl sounded from above.

"Would you look at that, two little insects!"

In the distance under the canopy of the heavens, one of the Ten Fierce Clan, the Heavenly Dog, was about to act against several people who had escaped the encirclement. But at that moment, its extraordinarily sharp ears twitched, and its large green Demon Eyes turned to the side below, its fierce fangs curling outward as it sneered.

No sooner had it spoken than the round moon hanging in the sky shot out a beam of Yuehua towards the deep, dark forests ahead.

The moonlight beamed down like a pillar, moving at an extreme velocity!

The two members of the Mountain Patrol, tens of miles away in the forest, heard the words of the Demon still ringing in their ears and their faces turned to terror—their flight never ceased.

The moonlight penetrated the crisscrossing branches, turning everything it touched into silver.

It first shone upon the Demon Extermination Envoy.

One could see the Envoy, poised on a tree branch ready to leap, suddenly enveloped in the silver radiance and became utterly immobilized, his horrified expression frozen in place.

Subsequently, he fell straight from the tree.

"Crash"

It sounded like the shattering of a mirror.

The unfortunate Demon Extermination Envoy crashed to the ground, his body fracturing like porcelain, turning into a pile of silver fragments.

"Fusheng!"

The Mountain Patrol Military Officer, hearing the commotion and turning to look, his eyes widened in agony as he cried out. His subordinate, who had joked and played with him years before and was still jesting earlier, just died before him.

Seeing the white Yuehua sweeping over, he choked back his sorrow, twisted his body and fled.

But after only a few steps, the hem of his robe was grazed by the Yuehua, and the silver quickly spread across his body.

His hand, his foot, his face...

His body moved forward two more steps, then stood still like a silver statue.

But in the next second,

"Crash"

His immobilized body burst like a mirror, and instantly, a ghostly figure dashed out from within.

This phantom, teeth clenched and eyes blazing red, didn’t stop for a moment as it charged forward.

"Eh?"

The Heavenly Dog, watching this scene from afar, seemed surprised. However, in the blink of an eye, his green and eerie Demon Eyes flickered with mockery. From the moon hanging in the sky, a wild howl emerged, followed by three black Demon Dogs with sleek, dark bodies and green eyes—plummeting from the moon with roars.

"Quick, stop those dogs!"

A voice, almost losing its composure, then sounded from the three people’s side.

The Beautiful woman with the surname An from the Su Nu Sword Sect, following the movement of the Heavenly Dog Demon, noticed the escaping figure in the distance.

She recognized the uniform—it was a Mountain Patrol Military Officer!

He must escape to report back to the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, who would surely have a way.

Hence her momentary break in composure.

"He"

With a push of her hands upward, sword light howled, and beside her, Qin Rushuang, not knowing why the Beautiful woman with the surname An reacted so, bit her lip and let out a sharp cry, channeling the last of her dwindling sparks towards the three Demon Dogs.

The air severed with a whistle, resonating with powerful energy.

"Howl"

"Howl"

Two of the black Demon Dogs were shredded by the sword light and sparks, letting out a howl. But a slim black dog remained, and with a whoosh, it darted into the forest below.

Seeing this, the Beautiful woman with the surname An’s complexion changed. She was about to make a move but then saw the Heavenly Dog Demon approaching swiftly, its claw striking downwards as a sinister glint flashed in its Demon Eye: "Don’t waste your effort in vain."

"That little insect is a Mountain Patrol Military Officer, isn’t he? Ha, he won’t get out of this forest. Touched by my Moon-devouring Demon Light, even if his Divine Soul escapes, it won’t last long."

"Even if by some chance, what of it? It will just take a bit more effort, kill a few more. I don’t know what you people are persisting for."

As his chilling words fell, somewhere in the distant forest, a white ghostly figure turned into a fine white line, sprinting through the pitch-black woods.

He could slowly feel his Divine Soul becoming icy cold, a bone-chilling frost seemingly intending to freeze his Divine Soul, inflicting a pain unimaginable to ordinary people, his consciousness growing increasingly chaotic.

And from a distance behind him, the howl of a dog shaking the mountains and forests rang out, a strong and fierce presence rapidly closing in.

His twisted face was filled with intense reluctance and sorrow. Fiery lights leaped from his eyes as he swallowed, his vocal cords trembling with a unique cadence, producing a sharp whistle from his mouth, beckoning something.

Then, relying on his familiarity with these woods, he dashed through the mountains and forest to a particular direction.

One thought filled his mind!

Return to Guang’an Prefecture, to see the Nine Colonels!

Three or four miles behind this Mountain Patrol Military Officer’s Divine Soul, a slender Demon Dog enveloped in billowing black qi, with fiercely green eyes, chased after him across the void, looking ferociously menacing.

As the Demon Dog continued to pursue for another two miles, from the side of the mountain woods the leaves rustled tumultuously, quickly closing in from that direction.

"Swoosh"

A dirt-yellow giant python suddenly sprang out from the side, slamming fiercely into the black Demon Dog.

In an instant, dust flew, and the dog yelped.

Amid the dust, the dirt-yellow body of the python, thick as a tree trunk, coiled around the slender body of the Demon Dog, attempting to strangle it.

But in the darkness, those glistening green eyes of the dog shone with brutality and madness. Its paw clawed towards the python’s body with dagger-like nails, piercing right through the python’s flesh as easily as tofu.

The Demon Python let out a pained howl, its robust body twisting like a twisted knot, violently rolling.

With a harsh tail whip, it lashed out at the Demon Dog.

But the slender Demon Dog simply opened its sharp fangs and bit into the python’s body, tearing it apart.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon Python was ripped into two halves.

Then, a radiance like ice crystals spread out in silver-white hues.

The proud head of the python and its tail were frozen solid, and they fell to the ground.

With a "crash," they shattered into pieces.

The Demon Dog’s throat rumbled with a growl, its cruel green light staring out into the pitch-black forest. It sniffed, and then turned into a black shadow.

However, it didn’t get far before a roar erupted ahead, and a two or three Zhang tall black-furred ape leaped down from a big tree, thunderously blocking the Demon Dog’s path, pounding its chest fiercely. Then it grabbed a nearby tree, yanked it out ferociously, making it into a wooden club, and swinged it with a howl at the Demon Dog.

........

In the fourth watch of the night, Guang’an Prefecture lay silent in the drizzling rain.

At the Sky Patrol Department’s station, a sharp whistle suddenly rose.

Inside a quiet room of a side courtyard, Chen Yuan’s eyes snapped open.

Then, golden specks surged in his eyes, shooting towards the door and piercing through the fine rain.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Sky Patrol Department, the sharp whistle was still sounding.

Shouts and calls stirred, with lights flashing out.

At the main entrance, two Armored Soldiers supported a white ghostly figure as they hurriedly crossed the threshold, shouting urgently, "Quickly, summon the Nine Colonels!"

The next second, Chen Yuan’s figure disappeared from the room; reappearing, he stood before the two shouting Armored Soldiers.

Chen Yuan bent down to look at the ghostly figure the two Armored Soldiers were supporting, his brows deeply furrowed.

Divine Soul!

It was about to disappear.

Moreover, there was a surge of extremely cold qi.

"What happened?"

But when the fading ghostly figure saw Chen Yuan, light finally appeared in the chaotic eyes, trembling hands reached out, and the voice was intermittent, sounding as if using the last breath with urgency.

"Nine... Colonels"

"To the west... Three-headed Tao Fruit Demons are chasing and killing our Sect predecessors!"

"I... can’t hold on!"

With that said, the person finally exhausted all willpower and energy, the vital force disappeared.

Then the Divine Soul was swiftly covered with a silver sheen, a very faint thump, like the shattering of porcelain, peeling away.

Chen Yuan’s eyes emitted a Magic Eye Golden Light, wrapping around the person’s Divine Soul.

But it was already too late.

He reached for the outstretched hand, but grasped at nothing, as the Divine Soul fragments slipped away like silver sand through his fingers, dissipating cleanly within a breath.

Chen Yuan silently clenched his fingers, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing with golden flames!
