Chapter 448: Chapter 448

Just as Du You was about to ask the two sisters to leave, an explosion sounded from across the Partition Plain. The sound was so loud that it could be heard even within the Purity Land.

Suddenly, someone ran over and yelled at them, "Everyone get ready to fight, one of the two great demon leaders from the Partition Plain is coming." One of the two great demon leaders?

Du You heard this title for the first time, but seeing how everyone else looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Du You hurriedly rushed over.

"Let’s go and see, we might be able to gain some advantages." Du You immediately dismissed the idea of leaving.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, and although they were somewhat helpless, they still followed. Moments later, Du You and a large number of professionals arrived at the easternmost edge of the city. Further east, a large number of demons were slaughtering their way over.

However, these demons were unable to take a single step closer under the attacks of the professionals.

The people here were accustomed to battling demons year-round, even if they weren’t, they had a lot of experience.

Without much need for commands, the professionals naturally fell into defensive formations. The summoned beasts appeared one after another, rushing to the front lines, as these Summoned Creatures were the ones least afraid to die.

Then came the warriors, with the archers assisting from the sidelines. At the very back were the magic-class professions.

Of course, the formation wasn’t exactly standard, but it was roughly .

What caught Du You’s attention the most was the center of the battlefield. There stood a horned demon that was up to three meters tall. It didn’t look much different from the other Horned Demons, except it had more horns and its scales were a bit darker.

But the level of this horned demon was not simple, it was at level 30, the peak of the third tier.

With every attack from this horned demon leader, a massive black current would surge from his body. The utilization of demonic power had reached a high stage. The power could be easily released, and others did not dare to come close.

Only two professionals were fighting this horned demon. Judging by these two, they were probably also third tier. One of them wielded a long blade and confronted the horned demon head-on, but most of the time, he used hit-and-run tactics, and didn’t dare to engage in direct confrontation.

The other one was a magic-class professional, but he wasn’t a normal mage. Although his hand speed was fast, Du You could see that this was not a spellcaster, as each spell was not cast in the form of a spell.

While the spells were not all that powerful, the effects were extraordinarily quick.

With a shake of both hands, one hand launched a barrage of fireballs. The other hand pushed forward, and tornadoes formed. The fireballs exploded, and the flames were drawn into the tornadoes, transforming into flaming tornadoes, greatly increasing their power.

Only the combined efforts of the two were enough to hold off the horned demon leader, but they were still being suppressed.

"Don’t just stand there, quickly eliminate those demons. The two city lords can only hold off the horned demon leader, they can’t win. The outcome depends on us, as long as the demons suffer heavy casualties, this guy will leave."

Upon hearing this, Du You finally snapped back to reality. He initially wanted to see if he could gain any advantage, but now he decided to drop that idea.

A mere third-tier demon was not something a level-13 hunter like himself could handle. This peak third-tier demon could easily take his life with a single strike.

Even if he used the Death Scorpion’s Death Raid, Du You did not think he stood a chance of winning.

Demonic creatures had strong resistance to various toxins, and high-level demons one might not necessarily die from poison. It seemed that his strength was still lacking a lot, Du You thought to himself.

Joining the battle, Du You began his attack with some reserve. With a wave of his hand, a large swath of black arrows flew.

The arrows were engulfed in flames, which were Du You’s Dark Flame Arrow Array. Du You did not intentionally weaken the power of his magic, but the Dark Flame Arrow Array inherently had reduced effectiveness against dark creatures. In addition, Du You did not use the Spell Splitting Skill, so while this spell looked magnificent, its power was just up to par.

Compared to the others, Du You was quite conspicuous, but his demonstrated strength was on par with an average level 17 hunter, not too attention-grabbing.

The two sisters didn’t use any major attacks either, they just hid in the crowd, fighting and observing the others at the same time.

Of course, Du You was not the only one to hold back. In fact, most professionals were not using their full strength, they were only fending off the demons and continually eliminating them, while keeping an eye on the people around them. Newest update provıded by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩

"The people in this world are indeed realistic. They all know that exposing their trump cards will make them targets." Seeing this situation around them, Du You realized some truths.

It seemed that his efforts to hide his abilities were not redundant. Since everyone else was doing the same, it was not a big deal for him to do so.

While fighting, Du You couldn’t help but occasionally look back at the battle in the center of the battlefield. The ground near where the three third-tier beings were fighting was constantly being overturned, crumbling in pieces.

Anyone who dared to approach their battlefield, facing the residual effects of their attacks, might not even survive.

However, neither of them could defeat the other, so they continued to stalemate. The horned demon’s defensive power was truly formidable, even after being hit by the long blade so many times, only small wounds were visible. These wounds were slowly healing while he fought.

The two human professionals dared not let the horned demon touch them. After one of them barely managed to withstand an attack, the one wielding the long blade almost coughed up blood.

From then on, they were in a stalemate with the demon leader.

As time passed, the army brought by the demon leader was gradually wiped out. These demons, considered to be elites, were finally nearing their end. At this time, the horned demon leader finally decided not to persist any longer.

With a roar at the sky, the horned demon leader withdrew from the fight and turned to leave.

"Finally, he’s gone. That demon’s stamina is horrifying. If we had continued, I’m afraid my strength would have run out first."

The warrior wielding the long blade took off his helmet, revealing an aged face. His white hair indicated that he must be quite old. It was admirable for someone of such an age to still be fighting.

The other professional at the back, though younger, sighed as well: "I’m losing strength faster than you are. I’m afraid I would have been the first to give up. We must report the situation to the rear and have them send a true powerhouse."

Whoever they considered to be a true powerhouse would not necessarily reach level 30, but their levels should be close.

If they didn’t station a powerhouse here, next time, if the enemy brought a few third-tier demons together, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.
