From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 51: One-Sword Instant Kill, Level 12 Winged Demon Wizard
The Demon Servants responsible for escorting the Source Essence Sacrifice all had strengths around Level 10.
Among them, the leading Winged Demon Wizard had reached Level 12, capable of unfolding his wings to take flight, releasing Black Witchcraft from midair to attack opponents, making him the most difficult one to deal with among the group of Demon Servants.
The prison carriage had already left the Demon Camp by ten kilometers; it was time to make a move.
The Superpower Users on the two prison carriages, after a simple communication, reached a consensus and acted together.
Boom!
Two loud explosions followed one after another as the Superpower Users broke out of their cages and launched an attack on the nearest Demon Servants.
Lu Heng knew very clearly which targets were the most dangerous within this Demon squad, so the moment the cage broke, he instantly activated Gale Step and soared out, stepping on the back of a Two-headed Giant Lizard and lunging at the Winged Demon Wizard.
The Winged Demon Wizard, upon discovering the sacrificial offerings breaking free from their cages, bellowed angrily, flapping his wings preparing to take flight, while commanding the Demon Servants to prevent the sacrifices from escaping.
Lu Heng's Agility had already been raised to 24 points, and his speed was extremely fast. In a straight-line thrust, "Gale Step·Stab" burst forth with double acceleration, instantly shooting his speed up to 50 meters per second.
The Winged Demon Wizard, leading the team at the front, was only about 20 meters away from the second prison carriage.
With the speed of Gale Step, Lu Heng needed only a fraction of a second to bridge that distance.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Heng had thrust forward to the near front of the Winged Demon Wizard, pulling the Aurora Blade out of the void and stabbing forward with a sword that seemed like sudden thunder, swift to the extreme.
The Winged Demon Wizard had just flapped his wings and risen one meter off the ground when Lu Heng thrust his sword into its abdomen, sinking it to the hilt.
The energy of the Thunder Weapon erupted simultaneously, causing the Winged Demon Wizard to tremble violently, and then it crashed heavily to the ground from midair.
The Winged Demon Wizard was high-ranking, and despite being impaled with a sword, it wasn't dead yet; it struggled to raise its hand, attempting to cast witchcraft in retaliation.
With one step, Lu Heng crossed over, kicking and snapping its arm, interrupting the cast, then he followed with another sword strike, cutting off its head.
The Winged Demon Wizard's body twisted and released Demon Energy, then produced a Demon Crystal Core.
"Killing Winged Demon Wizard, absorbed 120 points of Demon Energy."
Lu Heng picked up the Demon Crystal Core, not having the time to inspect it. He looked around and called out loudly, "Everyone, the Wing Demon Commander flies very fast and will arrive at the battlefield within a few minutes, if you're going to leave, hurry up!"
The battle here would definitely cause the Wing Demon Commander named Sagers to come for support.
That Level 20 High Rank Demon, no one could deal with right now.
Therefore, this battle couldn't be delayed; kill a few Demons and then retreat.
Once the Wing Demon Commander arrived, chasing from the sky, once you were spotted, escape would be impossible.
Because he needed to find Su Muyu, Lu Heng didn't plan to act with the squad; after warning them, he began to head towards the west side of the Blade Stone Forest on the main road.
Lin Zeyu, who was in the same prison carriage, saw Lu Heng kill the Winged Demon Wizard with one sword strike, and his eyes were full of admiration.
He also didn't tangle with these Demon Servants any longer, pulling up his legs and chasing in the direction Lu Heng had gone.
The Perceiver, Liu Qichen, possessed strong observational skills, always paying attention to changes on the battlefield. Seeing both Lu Heng and Lin Zeyu leaving, he quickly followed.
...
After Lu Heng entered the Blade Stone Forest, he slowed his pace and turned around to look at the two men who had followed, asking, "Why are you following me?"
Lin Zeyu spread his hands and said, "Didn't we agree on forming an alliance earlier? I think we should advance and retreat together."
Actually, at the start, he had wanted to be the temporary leader of this team.
During their time in the Dungeon, he took the initiative in organizing conversation and establishing basic trust, all for this purpose.
At first, it had some effect, and the others tended to listen to him.
But when they were truly facing battle, he found out that Lu Heng was the calmest and had the strongest combat power.
Still, Lu Heng had no intention of following his command.
Despite this, he still felt that Lu Heng was the most worth allying with, so he had followed.
For Lin Zeyu, his goal was to stay alive and return to the main world, while incidentally making connections with capable high-level Superpower Users.
As for competing over Source Material, it was not the most urgent matter.
There were many ways to obtain Source Material, and the Abyss Battlefield was not the only option; as long as one had enough financial resources, Source Material could also be acquired on Blue Star.
Of course, the price would be exorbitant.
Especially after this competition for Source Material had ended, various Superpower User organizations gradually came to understand the importance of Source Material.
The price of Source Material appearing on Blue Star would surge tenfold, even a hundredfold.
Lu Heng observed Lin Zeyu with a discerning gaze and directly pierced through his thoughts, "You want to follow me temporarily until you find your team, right?"
Lin Zeyu revealed a smile and said heartily, "Aren't you also looking for someone? We can stick together."
When they were in the Dungeon, the first reaction for both of them upon opening their eyes was to go to the cell door and look outside.
Lu Heng could guess that Lin Zeyu was looking for someone, and naturally, Lin Zeyu could guess as well.
Lin Zeyu scratched his forehead with his index finger and continued, "Moreover, the team I brought in is guaranteed in their loyalty. You only need to form an alliance with me, which is like allying with three people. You won't have to worry about any unnecessary scheming."
Indeed, that was the case.
In the case of other teams, Lu Heng would have to be cautious of every member.
Forming an alliance with Lin Zeyu, it was only necessary to be certain of his stance.
Moreover, Lin Zeyu had gone to Quenching Castle for Weapon Quenching, so Lu Heng knew his real-world identity.
Conversely, Lin Zeyu did not recognize Lu Heng.
After all, in his mind, the person who had Quenched his Silver Python Revolver at Quenching Castle was the unfathomable "Grandmaster of Quenching."
No matter how much his mind wandered, he could never connect that "Grandmaster of Quenching" with the young man before him.
Lu Heng smiled, extended his hand palm up in front of him, and said loudly, "Alright then, let's form an alliance."
Lin Zeyu also stretched out his hand and slapped it against Lu Heng's palm, then gripped it firmly.
Liu Qichen joined in at the right time, "Me too, I'll follow both big brothers."
He was a Perceiver, relatively weaker in combat, and definitely needed to hitch a ride with the strong.
Having a Perceiver along made searching for people more convenient.
Therefore, neither Lu Heng nor Lin Zeyu opposed his joining.
The three formed a temporary team and continued to delve deeper into Blade Stone Forest.
Along the way, Lu Heng worked hard to recall all information related to Evil God Barton's Burial Ground.
Since he had not personally experienced the Abyss Battlefield in his previous life, all the information in his memory came from news reports.
Among them, the contents regarding the Evil God Resurrection Ceremony mainly came from the testimonies of Returnees.
According to the descriptions of Returnees who had been to Evil God Barton's Burial Ground, they had thwarted the Evil God Barton's Resurrection Ceremony.
If they had stopped the ceremony, then why did Evil God Barton descend on Blue Star three months later?
This mystery remained unsolved.
This time, Lu Heng had become the butterfly flapping its wings, unsure what kind of ripple effects he would bring to this Evil God Resurrection Ceremony.
The trio had not been in Blade Stone Forest for long when a roar from the Wing Demon Commander pierced the heavens from the direction of the prison cart, a sound so terrifying it was unbearable.
Liu Qichen's expression tensed as he said, "The Wing Demon Commander has appeared, that's too fast, only a bit over six minutes."

The prison cart had traveled over ten kilometers away from the Demon Camp, and Lu Heng had originally thought that such a distance should have held them off for about ten minutes, but the Wing Demon Commander was faster than expected.
Fortunately, Lu Heng had warned the other Superpower Users who didn't dare to linger, and they had all retreated before the Wing Demon Commander arrived.
It was unknown, however, whether anyone had been caught by the Wing Demon Commander's pursuit.
