Little Mouse was a Heaven Devouring Divine Rat, and its teeth were extremely hard.
That was why it was able to drill a hundred miles into the ground in such a short period of time and avoid the self-destruction of the Rank 2 Divine Weapon.
"That was close."
Even now, Fang Chen still felt a lingering fear.
If it wasn't for Little Mouse, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
After a short tremor, the ground gradually calmed down.
At this time, Fang Chen and Little Mouse drilled out of the ground.
Everything within a radius of ten miles was in ruins.
The bodies of the Demonic Blood Clan members had long been turned into powder.
Fortunately, Fang Chen found some body fragments and kept them in his interspatial ring.
"It's a pity about the Blood Crocodile's inner core." Fang Chen sighed.
The self-destruction of the Rank 2 Divine Weapon not only destroyed the Demonic Blood Clan members, but also the dead Blood Crocodile.
"The explosion of the Rank 2 Divine Weapon is too shocking. It will definitely alarm others."
Fang Chen thought for a moment and immediately disappeared into the mountain range.
At this time, the team members who were fleeing in the mountain range were all shocked.
They didn't know what had happened, but they felt a great crisis.
"Let's go."
This was what everyone was thinking.
The power of the explosion here even affected the capital of the Demon Cloud State.
Many Heaven-dipper Realm powerhouses flew over to explore the situation here.
Outside the mountain range, Fang Chen met the team members.
"It's too dangerous here. Let's go back first." Fang Chen said hurriedly.
The team of five quickly left.
Not long after they left, several figures arrived in the sky and appeared above the ruins.
"The area within ten miles turned into ruins in an instant. It seems that someone was fighting here." A figure said slowly.
"The explosion of the Rank 2 Divine Weapon still left the power of the Rank 2 Divine Weapon in the air."
"Who detonated the Rank 2 Divine Weapon here?"
Many Heaven Star Border Realm martial artists didn't find out anything and finally all dispersed.
Fang Chen and the others hurried back and recuperated.
Finally, after returning to the Sky Sword Mansion, everyone's injuries had recovered.
"We're finally back." Hu Yanlong sighed.
Being chased by the Demonic Blood Clan, he even thought that he was going to die.
The group of people entered the prefectural city and returned to the First Army to complete their mission.
In the residence of the First Army, the other three members of the guard team sneered when they saw the sorry state of these people.
"What happened?"
Hu Ming immediately rushed over and asked about the situation anxiously.
"Captain, we encountered a mutated Demonic Blood Clan with a cultivation as high as half-step Heaven Dipper Realm. We almost died there." Fang Chen said.
"What half-step Heaven Dipper Realm?"
Obviously, Hu Ming did not expect that there would be a Half-step Heaven Dipper Realm powerhouse.
"Are there any casualties?" Hu Ming asked after recovering from his shock.
Everyone looked at each other. Then, Fang Chen said, "Young Master Jian Hen and Dai Hongxuan were killed by the Demonic Blood Clan during their escape."
“”
Hu Ming fell into silence.
The death of two members was not a big deal. The most important thing was that Young Master Jian Hen's father was from the Heavenly Sword Mansion. Furthermore, he was extremely protective.
I'm afraid I can't explain this matter to him.
However, now that things had come to this, there was no other way.
"Alright, you guys can go back and rest." Hu Ming said faintly.
Fang Chen looked at Hu Ming and said, "Captain, we have completed the mission."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Hu Ming was puzzled.
"Completed the mission."
"Captain, when the Demonic Blood Clan was chasing us, they encountered a Half-step Heaven Dipper Realm Blood Crocodile. The two of them fought and both of them were injured. I took the opportunity to kill the Demonic Blood Clan."
"Is that true?"
Hu Ming asked excitedly.
Fang Chen nodded heavily. Seeing this, Hu Ming laughed loudly.
Compared to completing the mission, losing two members was nothing.
Furthermore, the target this time was a Half-step Heaven Dipper Realm Demonic Blood Clan.
"Let's go and submit the mission." Hu Ming was extremely excited.
Hu Ming personally led Fang Chen and the rest to submit the mission.
Each of them received 100,000 purple crystals.
"After a fierce battle, you guys must be tired. Have a good rest. I will report this matter to the commander and increase your rewards."
The Third Guardian Squad had not completed a mission of this level for a long time.
But this time, Fang Chen led the team and completed an impossible mission.
Hu Ming was very excited and went to find the commander.
In the courtyard, Fang Chen was resting.
Suddenly, an angry roar echoed throughout the Third Guardian Squad.
"Fang Chen, get out here."
This voice was extremely arrogant.
As soon as the voice sounded, a middle-aged man with a full beard appeared. His aura was fierce and overbearing.
"The steward of the City Lord's Mansion."
Someone recognized this person. He was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord Steward, may I know why you are here?" Hu Ming appeared and asked with a smile.
This steward had a high status in the Sky Sword Mansion. He was also a Heaven Dipper Realm expert. He was the father of Young Master Jian Scar.
"It's none of your business. Get Fang Chen out here." Young Master Jian Scar's father said coldly.
"Lord Steward."
Before Hu Ming could finish, he was glared at by Young Master Jian Scar's father. He was so scared that he did not dare to speak.
Just at this time, Fang Chen's door opened and he walked out.
"May I know why Lord Steward is looking for me?" Fang Chen calmly asked.
"My son went on a mission with you. You all returned, but my son died. You have to take responsibility for this matter."
It was rumored that Young Master Jian Scar's father was very protective of his son.
"Young Master Jian Scar was killed by the Demon Blood Race," said Fang Chen.
"Hmph, why were you all able to return alive, but the one who died was my son?" questioned the steward.
"We encountered a variant Demon Blood Race. Their cultivation base was at the half-step Heaven Dipper realm. The only reason we were able to escape death was because of a Blood Crocodile."
Fang Chen gave a simple explanation of the battle between the Blood Crocodile and the Demon Blood Race.
But after hearing that, the steward's expression was still ashen.
"I don't care. You have to take responsibility for this matter!" raged the steward.
Fang Chen frowned, but he didn't say anything.
"As the vice-captain, you can't even protect your own team members. What qualifications do you have to live in this world?"
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, his figure flashed and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Fang Chen.
Heaven and earth's astral yuan gathered in his palm, forming a terrifying sphere that shot toward Fang Chen.
"Not good."
Fang Chen let out a cry and used the True Meaning of Spacetime to flee.
Boom!
The astral yuan sphere smashed into the ground, creating a large crater.
"Yes, a space-type True Meaning."
The steward sneered and pulled back his hand. Then he continued to attack Fang Chen.
Being locked onto by a Heaven Dipper expert, Fang Chen's figure was instantly revealed.
"Die!"
The steward's face was filled with madness as he roared.
Just as the steward's hand was about to touch Fang Chen, a fierce shout rang out.
At the same time, the first army's two commanders acted together to block the steward's attack.
"Steward Li, you've crossed the line." One of the commanders said coldly.
Although the four armies belonged to the City Lord Mansion, they only took orders from the City Lord.
They didn't have much interaction with the City Lord Mansion, and the City Lord Mansion couldn't interfere with the army's affairs.
Previously, when Hu Ming reported that Fang Chen and the others had overachieved the mission, the two commanders had a good impression of Fang Chen.
But now, the steward wanted to kill Fang Chen in the first army's camp. How could the two commanders be willing to let him?
"My son is dead, and he must be buried with him." The steward said firmly.
"If you want to take action in the first army, you have to ask the two of us first." The commander's attitude was also firm as he said coldly.
In an instant, the three Heaven Dipper experts were in a standoff.
Below, Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly.
Everything was because he was too weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't be afraid of Jian Hen's father.
Now, the commanders were protecting him, but what about the future?
I must become stronger. Fang Chen thought to himself.
In the sky, the three Heaven Dipper Realm experts were discussing something.
After a while, the steward seemed to have compromised and left the first army.
The two commanders also landed on the ground and walked towards Fang Chen.
"Thank you for saving me." Fang Chen cupped his hands and thanked them.
"You're a member of the first army. How can we watch you be killed by the steward?"
"However, the steward has determined that you're the indirect murderer of his son's death, so …"
"So what?" Fang Chen asked.
"We've reached an agreement with the steward. He's willing to give up on the condition that you complete three Hell Rank missions within a year."
"Complete them alone."
