I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 716 - 500 Spark Spread!_2

"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out.

The Golden Lamp Spirit Fish didn't even know how to dodge, taking a Blade Arc head-on.

"Pop!" Accompanied by the sound of cracks crawling across its Demon Breath Battle Robe, the Golden Lamp Spirit Fish was thoroughly pissed off!

Du Yu took the chance to dash toward the nearby building; as soon as he rushed in through a window, he spun and slashed twice behind him.

Demon Soldier Array·Suspended Fire Arc!

Two Flame Blade Arcs crossed to form an "X", instantly blocking off the window.

As Du Yu landed, he moved like a fish in water, one foot stepping straight into the earth.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The Golden Lamp Spirit Fish didn't care at all about its torn Demon Breath Battle Robe, smashing its head into the side of the building.

Right after, the Golden Lamp Spirit Fish stood dumbfounded on the spot.

Its pair of scarlet, bulbous eyes swept ceaselessly over the pitch-black office, but it saw not a trace of a person.

With drawn sword, scanning all around blankly,

Damn, this isn't fun at all~

Meanwhile, Du Yu had already dropped down two floors, "passing through" from the fifth floor to the third.

As he strode toward the window, the Demon Soul located at the Zhiyang Acupoint·Desolate Silver Lynx Homeland rushed back to the Qi Sea Acupoint·Bai Yujing Homeland.

With a step onto the window frame, Du Yu leaped out of the building.

The Demon Pet Combined Skill linked seamlessly, wind wrapped around Du Yu's feet, drawing flame as he charged once more into the endless night.

Not missing a beat, like a breeze and flowing water, flying through the sky and darting through earth.

Strolling like it's nobody's business, with ridiculous flair!

Anyone watching would probably give a silent round of applause.

This was just everyday routine for Du Yu, but something every Demon Tamer dreamed of at night.

Yet, after dealing with the immediate danger, Du Yu's mood didn't improve one bit.

Because he still couldn't resolve the ultimate problem of transporting Demon Crystals.

Well... whatever, let me get the Earth-level Demon Crystal first!

Du Yu set his jaw, playing it by ear at every step.

As he landed firmly on the rooftop, Du Yu's foot touched down on the terrace, and his Demon Soul charged straight for the center of his brow—the Forehead Acupoint.

"Prince Du~" Xiaoyan watched the Demon Soul pour in, her eyes even more pitiful and adorable.

Du Yu just felt his scalp go numb, who on earth could resist this?

Xiaoyan rubbed against Du Yu's palm: "I wanna go out and play with you~"

Du Yu: "Wait till exams are over, I'll call you out, okay?"

Xiaoyan protested: "Hmph! You keep calling that kitty out, but every time there's a fight, you never take me."

"My bad, my bad, after the exam I'll cuddle you to sleep, okay!" Du Yu hurried to say, "Help me out, Shadow-Luring Fire Fox."

"You said it, don't forget." Xiaoyan had been pitiful a second ago, but the moment she heard 'cuddle to sleep', she immediately changed her expression.

Those foxy eyes carried a twinkle of amusement, her tail swaying like she'd just pulled off a big trick.

Du Yu: "Yeah it's my word! Even if the Jade Emperor himself shows up, he can't stop me from cuddling you to sleep!"

"Pfft~"

On the rooftop, Du Yu drew his bow and nocked an arrow, his Fire Arrow blazing bright.

Du Yu's eyes flashed light red, the arrowhead pointed straight at the landmark—Xuena Central Tower.

The tower's openwork design left nowhere to hide; at Du Yu's quick glance, he didn't spot any trace of the Human Race.

"Whoosh~"

The brilliant Fire Arrow tore through the night sky, stabbing right at the middle of the tower.

Du Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze piercing through strands of cold mist, tracking the arrow's path.

"Pfft~"

The Fire Arrow suddenly exploded; Du Yu grabbed onto the mud tower railing with one hand and with a fierce pull, hoisted himself up hard.

He didn't bother looking for a foothold, but kicked up wind and fire, using his momentum to rocket right up toward the sky.

Du Yu's brow furrowed tighter the higher he soared, the more disappointed he grew.

There wasn't a single soul around here?

Until he landed atop the spire and carefully examined the surroundings.

From below, you could only see the tip of the tower on its peak.

But on reaching the highest point, he found a roomy platform, with four muddy pillars slanting upward to meet at the very top.

"Sigh..." Du Yu let out a heavy sigh.

Did the soldiers give him bad intel?

Or had the defenders who clung to the Earth-level Demon Crystal already met with disaster?

"Left side~" Xiao Fen Yang's voice prompted in his mind.

"Hmm?" Du Yu started, looking to the left.

There, all he saw was one thick, muddy pillar.

Du Yu walked forward, searching carefully, feeling that something was definitely off.

Just as he was about to speak, a figure slowly emerged from the thick mud pillar.

The man was of average build, a touch of gray in his hair, seemingly in his mid-fifties.

Unlike the other soldiers, this guy wasn't dressed in snow camo but just regular street clothes.

He didn't have the slightest aura of a Demon Tamer—looked downright easygoing.

If Du Yu hadn't seen him literally walk out from inside the pillar, he'd probably have mistaken him for an ordinary person.

The man said with a gentle voice, "Not bad, you found me."

Du Yu quickly realized this guy must be seriously strong, and likely held a high rank.

Du Yu asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Jin Hao. I'm the chief commander of this Battle Zone." The man introduced himself.

Du Yu couldn't help but grin. Damn~

Just ran into a big shot in the military!

The chief boss of the Xuena City Battle Zone?

That's gotta be… insanely high level!

Jin Hao said, "Du Yu, disciple under Yang Qingqing at Ancient Pine Tower Academy.

First Paper Crane Disciple of Shaohai.

Member of the Great Xia Bookstore, Twenty-Ninth Bureau."

Du Yu scratched his head, "Um… yeah."

Jin Hao: "The soldiers in the city reported that you've already rescued a full twenty officers.

Including all those bearing four blood marks."

Du Yu quickly waved his hands, "I was working together with my teammates, I didn't do it alone."

"Heh." Jin Hao gave Du Yu a meaningful look, seeming to have the whole story figured out.

He didn't seem hung up at all about Du Yu's humility.
