The checkpoint had transformed into towering walls, and aside from flying demons, no demon could cross these walls.

This wall structure was extremely durable; even a City-breaking Level Demon found it hard to break through.

The wall extended outward into four long passages, each spacious enough, twenty meters high and fifteen meters wide, enough to accommodate City-breaking Level Demons.

The first demon to rush out of the Abyss roared loudly, glanced around, and arbitrarily charged down one of the passages.

The entrance shook continuously, with one dreadful figure after another bursting out from the Abyss, arriving on the surface of Blue Star.

The demon tide interception battle was the Hunters' job, with the Crimson No.2 garrison mainly responsible for handling the stragglers during the battle and cleaning up hidden demons in the city afterward.

The Hunters on the battlefield continuously unfolded their Engravings, even the lone Hunters standing on both sides of the battlefield were no exception.

No rule dictated that demons must attack the forefront of the battlefield; they attack wherever they wish, yet most demons would charge straight ahead towards the front of the battlefield, even seeing the defensive structures set up there wouldn't make them turn.

Many Hunters felt that those demons weren't here to kill but rather to get themselves killed.

Each occurrence of the demon tide sees many Hunters advancing in rank.

Demons that perish in the demon tide yield no materials; whether using collectors or if collection masters act personally, no way can their 'features' be gathered, the only thing collectible being the Magic Crystals.

Fortunately, these items never worry about sales routes, earning a substantial windfall for participating Hunters.

Like countless beasts rampaging, a dense echo of footsteps churned within the passage, erupting swiftly.

The forefront of the battlefield was fifty meters from the passage exit, cluttered with numerous iron caltrops and barbed barriers to slow the demons' charge, making the front-running demons crushed by those pursued.

Demons had deflector shields for protection and strong bodies too, but even if they damaged the iron caltrops and barriers, for Hunters, as long as it slowed their charge a little, those traps had fulfilled their purpose, no need to demand too much.

Twenty machine cannons lined up behind the battlefield, with more Hunters wielding machine guns hidden within roadside tower blocks, ready to fire at any demons breaking past the battlefield.

The defensive position stood like a rocky shore, even against a tsunami would firmly anchor at the passage exit to intercept the most powerful demons.

Hence, it was called the demon tide interception battle.

Were your parents standing here with their companions nine years ago?

Remembering past events, Yan Luo felt his heart sink.

The demon tide interception battle nine years ago could be considered a defeat; many Hunters perished during that interception battle, and the guild president was almost completely dismissed due to the failure of the Crimson No.2 interception battle, allowing Daoist Li to take the president's seat.

"Are you the son of Yan Shoumo and Liu Ti?"

The old Hunter smoking beside Yan Luo suddenly asked, causing Yan Luo to suddenly turn his head and look.

Yan Luo exclaimed with shock, "You know my parents?"

The old Hunter lowered his eyes and nodded, "I wasn't close with them, just at the level of 'known,' hadn't recognized you before, but just now glanced at your profile and noticed the resemblance, so it came to mind."

The current of demons had already burst through the passage, treading on the traps, they howled chaotically, making the sky noisy.

However, Yan Luo didn't let them draw his attention; he still focused on the old Hunter, couldn't help but ask, "You knew my parents, so does that mean you participated in the demon tide nine years ago?"

The old Hunter looked forward, three Engravings blossomed behind him, nodded his head, and said, "That demon tide interception battle was extremely fierce, nearly two-fifths of the Crimson No.2 died, many Hunters also retired after that battle, it was mainly because I was relatively young that I remained. The Hunters you see now, many joined after that battle."

"Was there a conspiracy behind that battle?" Yan Luo furrowed his brows, "Since the establishment of Crimson No.2, there's never been such a dire situation!"

The old Hunter sighed, exhaled a smoke ring, and shook his head, "I don't know, didn't think to investigate, some retired Hunters talked about investigating but later disappeared without a trace, living or dead."

Yan Luo suddenly felt tumultuous waves rise within his heart.

The hidden meaning of these words suggested a conspiracy, otherwise why else would those disappear without a trace?

"Oh, by the way, have you met Wen Chongwu?" The old Hunter suddenly mentioned a name Yan Luo had nearly forgotten.

Upon hearing the name 'Wen Chongwu,' Yan Luo thought briefly before a vague image emerged in his mind, only remembering a slender man who smiled gently.

"Uncle Wen? He's still alive?" Yan Luo asked incredulously.

He had always thought Wen Chongwu was dead, because Wen Chongwu was his parents' teammate, having seen him a few times during childhood, never again after the news of his parents' death came.

Clouds of smoke swirled around the old Hunter's face, with only the glow of the cigarette shining through the haze.

The old Hunter stated with a dry voice, "Wen Chongwu went to investigate those matters, his end..."

——Disappeared without a trace!

Yan Luo wanted to say something more, when suddenly an angry shout sounded from the battlefield:

"Open fire!!"

The twenty machine cannons behind the battlefield simultaneously erupted into flame, the machinists wielding them had three Engravings glowing behind.

A tempest of metal rained down on the current formed by the demons, with the demons charging in the forefront, their deflector shields lasting no longer than a microsecond before losing effect entirely, instantly crushed into paste, and subsequently shattered and dispersed.

"Roar!"

A deadly Wind God Eagle took flight, barely leaping over the wall before being shattered into pieces by a flash of light.

In this battle, deadly and Dangerous-level demons had no distinction, serving merely as cannon fodder absorbing firepower.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Earthquake-like footsteps resounded from behind the wall, You Yifeng exhaled a breath of heat, with seven Engravings unfurling consecutively behind him.

[Strength], [Stamina], [Multiplication], [Enhance], [Iron], [Giant], [Bulwark], seven Engravings entirely for bodily enhancement!

You Yifeng didn't have any fancy tricks; he pursued the [Strength] Sequence.

He stepped forward, body abruptly enlarging, then stepped again, further enlarging.

You Yifeng's exoskeleton was a custom piece; an A-grade exoskeleton represented the highest grade of mass-produced exoskeletons, yet if willing to overload, it exceeded A-grade.

Each Sequence Three Hunter possessed their exclusive exoskeleton, only Sequence Three Hunters could afford exclusive exoskeletons.

After several steps forward, You Yifeng grew to five meters tall, his former massive exoskeleton gradually slimming, now fitting his body snugly, outlining each muscular curve.

Layered halos floated behind You Yifeng, rendering him like a divine deity descending.

As You Yifeng's physique expanded, his weapon enlarged with him, fully extended was comparable to You Yifeng's height with a daunting blade size.

Machine cannons had ceased firing, the battlefield began retreating.

Next, here would become You Yifeng's arena against City-breaking Level Demons, if others stayed, they risked contagion from the battle and might perish.

Generally, after the battle ends, the battlefield resumed its position, but currently, the battlefield might stay positioned here or even retreat further.

"As Wu Zechuan said."

Seeing the beast emerging from the passage, You Yifeng gave a grin.

Yan Luo had caught the eye of the City-breaking Level Demons, although not yet knowing the reason, the fact remained, he had been targeted.

Aside from You Yifeng, the battlefield had other Sequence Three Hunters, but hadn't yet appeared waiting to surprise those City-breaking Level Demons as they charged.

"Yan Luo stays, Sequence Three Hunters stay, others assist the remaining three exits!"

Not just one City-breaking Level Demon emerged from the passage, but three.

Although You Yifeng could still cope, fighting would undoubtedly cause significant destruction, so he simply commanded Low-level Hunters to support other passage exits, keeping only Sequence Three Hunters here.

Though Hunters didn't understand why You Yifeng issued this order, as a commander, they just needed to follow orders.

Li Xinyue worriedly glanced at Yan Luo, then swiftly left with the main force.

A vast battlefield, soon left with only Yan Luo and a few Sequence Three Hunters.

You Yifeng tightened his grip on the sword and fiercely swung towards the opposing City-breaking Level Demons.
