Chapter 162 Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon
When stronger Gray Inferior Demons emerged from the otherworldly space passage, the other Gray Inferior Demons began to flock towards them.
As the rift in the otherworldly space slowly released more Gray Inferior Demons, they too gathered around the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
"Trouble."
Everyone's faces darkened, all knowing that a battle led by a powerful monster was completely different from one without such a leader.
"Roar."
The Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon let out an angry roar and, with it at the head, countless Gray Inferior Demons charged toward the defensive line.
"Drive the trucks out! The Tyrants, cover us!"
Yan Tiejun's veins bulged as he shouted loudly, his gaze filled with resolve.
The warriors, startled by his voice, immediately floored the accelerator, driving several large trucks parked at a distance, their engines roaring at full throttle.
The vehicles gained speed quickly, with Duan Jie's Bullhead Tyrant, Blade Mantis Tyrant, and Zhao Yaqian's Shadow Armor Monster, Shadow Armor Tyrant, raising in fury and quickly charging after the five trucks.
As the trucks accelerated, once they covered three hundred meters, the doors immediately flung open. The drivers, risking their lives, jumped out of the moving vehicles, rolling heavily onto the ground and breaking countless bones, their faces contorted in pain.
If they had not been Contractors, they would have died immediately under such high-speed ejection from the vehicles.
The driverless trucks, under the influence of inertia, continued towards the Gray Inferior Demons a hundred meters further, crushing many that couldn't dodge in time.

But in just a moment, Second-grade Monsters directly intercepted the trucks. Without acceleration, the vehicles could not cause much damage.
By this time, the leading Gray Inferior Demons had already charged close to the five warriors, their ferocious features clearly visible.
Just as they were about to pounce on the few warriors, the Tyrants arrived. The Blade Mantis Tyrant swept its scythe-like arms, immediately slaying them.
Then, not daring to stay long, it quickly picked up the warriors on the ground and retreated.
The Bullhead Tyrant, Shadow Armor Monster, Shadow Armor Tyrant did the same, opening up a distance of more than a hundred meters in an instant.
"Detonate!"
Yan Tiejun's voice came through, followed by a loud booming noise. The five trucks exploded, instantly unleashing a terrifying shockwave, a small mushroom cloud rose in the center of the field, and the explosion lit up the entire factory.
The five trucks were loaded with dangerous chemicals from a chemical plant, all prepared as explosives.
Originally, this was to be the final explosion as he held the rear.
But now, seeing the appearance of the two-headed monster, he knew he had to set them off earlier.
"Everyone, fire!"
Yan Tiejun's expression was somber, not daring to relax for a second, his eyes fixed on the billowing smoke.
Many Gray Inferior Demons were destroyed in the explosion, their bodies consumed, torn apart by the blast wave, but still, not all were eliminated.
"Roar"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
An angry roar resounded as a massive form burst through the dust. The Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon was covered in blood, one of its heads severely damaged by the blast, exposing the mangled brains inside.
The massive explosion left it severely injured, but the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon remained extremely combative, its furious pounding causing the earth to crack.
Behind it, stood four Second-order Gray Inferior Demons, their wounds slightly less severe than those of the two-headed one.
Around them, another three Second-order Gray Inferior Demons had been turned into minced meat and skeletons, having been torn apart by the explosion.
It was their sacrifice that allowed the four remaining ones to survive.
Seeing the monsters still alive, a chill went through the hearts of the Southern City Guards, who, following Yan Tiejun's shout, fired at the monsters.
Bullets poured out recklessly, countless Gray Inferior Demons emerging from the dissipating smoke in hundreds, rushing madly at the Southern City Guards.
The explosion had killed thousands of Gray Inferior Demons, but the remaining numbers were still significant.
Bullets kept hitting their bodies, shattering them, blood spraying, one after another rolling on the ground, even knocking over nearby monsters.
However, this did little to stop their advance.
Like a black curtain, they quickly spread out, rushing towards the Southern City Guards still in attack mode.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters...
The distance kept shrinking, and the Crossbow Arrows began to unleash their power, volley after volley piercing through the ranks of Gray Inferior Demons like porcupines.
Monsters fell in rows, but the Second-order Gray Inferior Demons, roaring, charged forward, determined to tear through the defensive line and devour all living beings.
"City defense crossbows!"
More than a dozen city defense crossbows were hauled out, already prepared, and at this moment, they targeted the Second-order Gray Inferior Demons with direct bursts of fire.
The long crossbow arrows were fired rapidly, more than half of them concentrated on the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon, while the rest attacked the other Second-order Gray Inferior Demons.
The powerful arrowheads pierced through the obstructing monsters, with a thud, they stuck into the Second-order Gray Inferior Demons, blood spurting out, the arrows burying themselves in their flesh until stopped by hard bones.
Three Second-order Gray Inferior Demons stumbled, nearly falling, only one lucky enough to have dodged the city defense crossbow arrows by diving forward.
The Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon behind them reacted even faster, attempting to dodge the attack, but the crossbow arrows were coming from all directions.
After avoiding three or four arrows, the remaining hits found their mark on its body, the nearly two-meter-long arrows piercing through, leading to a painful roar.
Bearing the intense pain, it fiercely bent down, grabbing a handful of Gray Inferior Demons and throwing them violently towards the direction of the city defense crossbows.

The Gray Inferior Demon crashed down like a stone, arcing through the air and slamming into the city defense crossbow with a heavy impact.
The city defense crossbow was instantly toppled, and the warrior controlling it couldn't get out of the way in time, resulting in broken bones.
At this moment, the Gray Inferior Demon forcefully got up, and though it had two broken legs, its madness and bloodlust were far more terrifying than anyone had imagined.
It relentlessly tore at the nearest Southern City Guard, and the blood stained the entire ground red.
Thwack
A nearby Southern City Guard immediately took action, killing the Gray Inferior Demon, but the situation on the battlefield changed in an instant.
The injured Second-grade Monsters were not immobile; imitating the first, a large number of Gray Inferior Demons were hurled into the midst of the Southern City Guards.
They hit the ground, exploded into action, and commenced their slaughter...
Even if such crude movements injured some of the Gray Inferior Demons, what did that matter?
The defense of the Southern City Guards was thrown into chaos in an instant, and the suppressing power of firearms and handheld crossbows weakened dramatically.
The complexion of Yan Tiejun and his men changed, and Duan Jie and Zhao Yaqian made a decisive decision, "Director Yan, I'll handle them."
The opportunity to snipe the Second-grade Monsters had been missed; they couldn't allow them another chance to break the formation.
"All Second-Rank Apostles, attack!"
Yan Tiejun's gaze sharpened, and he gave the order with resolution.
Their seven Second-Rank Apostles immediately charged into the battlefield.
Gray Inferior Demons tried to block them, but in the next moment, Guo Wutao's Bone Spur Giant Dog charged to the front, sweeping away the Gray Inferior Demons blocking its path.
The sharp bone spurs pierced straight through the bodies of the Gray Inferior Demons, and with a gaping mouth, it spewed condensed bone spheres, impaling them with a burst of bone spurs.
The remaining Second-Rank Apostles, the Bullhead Tyrant, and the Blade Mantis Tyrant, cleared a path through the carnage, charging straight at the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
Everyone showed their unique abilities, but their goal was clear: to take down these leader monsters. Otherwise, they would be unable to stop the charge of these Gray Inferior Demons.
Duan Jie and Zhao Yaqian were both Second-order Intermediate; they charged straight at the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
But there was one more unexpected person—it was Yan Tiejun himself. His two Second-Rank Apostles also headed for the most dangerous Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
Duan Jie and the others wanted to stop him, but seeing Yan Tiejun's determined, cold face, they knew that rather than dissuading him, it was better to fight desperately.
Li Ruikang, Guo Wutao, Cheng Zhenyong, and Wang Hu, four individuals and six Second-grade Monsters, charged at the four remaining Second-grade Gray Inferior Demons.
Seeing the Apostles attacking, the Second-grade Gray Inferior Demons immediately responded, but how could they be quicker than the Apostles who had just launched their assault?
A powerful hit brought them crashing to the ground, and then the two colossal beasts clashed fiercely.
With sharp claws and powerful swings, they left deep wounds on each other's bodies.
The pounding of heavy fists resounded like thunder.
Li Ruikang may look gentle, but when his Bone Blade Dog Monster pounced on one of the Second-grade Gray Inferior Demons alone, the sharp bone blades sliced through the Gray Inferior Demon's body like razors, and a forceful punch broke the arm of the Gray Inferior Demon.
Of the remaining three, Guo Wutao's two Apostles took on one, Cheng Zhenyong's Apostle split into two, one of them aiding Wang Hu in battle.
The remaining Bone Abomination Giant then charged ahead of the Second-grade Gray Inferior Demon, and its bone-like claws stabbed into its wounds.
The fight with the Second-grade Gray Inferior Demons was intense—with almost all gaining the upper hand.
However, the situation was different with the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
Even severely injured, the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon still exhibited the strength of around a Lower Tier of the Third Order.
It was stronger and had tougher skin; each attack made it tremendously difficult for the Bullhead Tyrant and the Shadow Armor Monster facing it as their figures were repeatedly sent flying.
Yan Tiejun fought desperately, his Blood Thorn Double-headed Dogs constantly getting in close to attack, biting at the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon's legs, and disrupting its offense.
The Shield Claw Tyrant used its ossified shield arm to keep helping block the Claw Strikes from the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon, barely maintaining the situation.
Six Second-Rank Apostles against one Lower Tier of the Third Order were completely suppressed, barely holding on.
Reliant on his combat instincts, Duan Jie's two Tyrants attacked most fiercely, dodging and striking at just the right moments, posing the greatest threat in the battle.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yaqian relied on her Talent for sensing danger; amidst her dodges, she kept on defending and pulling back.
The two complemented each other, and with Director Yan really going all out, they managed to drag out the time.
The turning point came swiftly.
Guo Wutao was the first to kill his opponent, having the Bone Spur Giant Dog bite off the head of the Second-grade Gray Inferior Demon.
After the kill, he immediately joined the encirclement of the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
Eight to one, they stabilized the situation.
As time passed, Li Ruikang, Cheng Zhenyong, and Wang Hu successively resolved the monsters.
Joining the fight one by one, as their numbers grew, the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon finally fell into a disadvantage.
With more and more wounds accumulating on its body, it sought to flee, but under the encirclement, it had no chance at all.
The scales of victory gradually tipped, and finally, with one assault from the Blade Mantis Tyrant, a life was traded for a wound.
After suffering a hit to the chest, it managed to chop off the other head of the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon.
