Chapter 2001: Chapter 2005: I Want to Save Him

"Hmph, Demon Clan, this time you’re done for."

Qin Tian only let out a cold laugh, saying, "We will immediately gather our forces and counterattack the Demon Clan!"

"Ah, a counterattack?"

Duan Xiaodao was stunned again, "The Demon Clan’s army is not weak, and their spells are unpredictable. We’re going to counterattack? Boss, you..."

"Their military morale must be scattered now. A counterattack is perfectly timed."

Qin Tian said, "Go and discuss with the generals of the Demon Clan right away. In one hour, we will mobilize and launch a surprise attack, catching them off guard!"

"Cough cough, boss, are you sure about this battle?"

Even though he wasn’t sure where Qin Tian’s confidence came from, seeing his determined attitude, Duan Xiaodao, who always supported Qin Tian, didn’t ask further questions. As long as Qin Tian was sure, he was all in.

"I’m sure! And we will definitely win!"

When Qin Tian said this, Duan Xiaodao immediately felt reassured and nodded, "Alright, I’ll go now."

"Report! King Qin, the Demon Clan has retreated!"

Just as Qin Tian was preparing to arrange a major counterattack, a soldier reported that the Demon Clan had surprisingly retreated!

"Hmm? Demon Clan retreating?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Xiaodao was momentarily stunned, "What the heck, the Demon Clan was in a good position, why would they retreat..."

He looked at Qin Tian, only to see Qin Tian smiling, and ordered, "Pursue them! We can’t just let them retreat whenever they want, huh, do they think we’re a public restroom they can use as they please?"

Duan Xiaodao: "..."

As the Demon Clan made their retreat, Qin Tian and Duan Xiaodao led twenty thousand of their main forces and the Qin Family army in pursuit.

Sure enough, it was as though the Demon Clan had encountered some major upheaval, retreating chaotically.

Qin Tian surmised that it might be due to Jin Lin suddenly pulling back, resulting in a significant loss of manpower for the Demon Clan’s army, making them hesitant to advance further alone.

They captured a Demon Clan prisoner, and Qin Tian personally interrogated him: "Why did you retreat?"

The Demon Clan prisoner, trembling, responded, "The Great Commander and the Deputy Commander had a conflict, we had an internal strife..."

"Who is the Great Commander? And who is the Deputy Commander?"

"The Great Commander is Shi Zhan, and the Deputy Commander is Jin Lin... General Jin Lin planned to retreat and even released the imprisoned Demon Clan members without permission. When the Great Commander found out, he intended to take him to Demon City to be questioned by the Demon King... so... we had to retreat. Please spare me, I’ve told you everything..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian frowned and asked, "Are you saying your Deputy Commander was imprisoned by the Great Commander?"

"Yes, I was a guard at the time and personally saw the Great Commander call the Deputy Commander into the tent, after which the Great Commander suddenly attacked him. Experts lying in ambush quickly subdued him with two moves. General, please spare me..."

The soldier continuously begged for mercy, but Qin Tian found himself deeply troubled and asked, "Is the Great Commander taking the Deputy Commander to Demon City?"

"That’s what I heard. The Deputy Commander has already been taken away by the Great Commander, and I estimate they are on their way to Demon City... that’s all I know, it’s all true information, please have mercy, General!"

Qin Tian glanced at the Demon, then said to Duan Xiaodao, "Let him go."

Duan Xiaodao was stunned but followed the order to release him, only to see that Qin Tian was preoccupied.

"Boss, what’s wrong?" Duan Xiaodao asked.

"I must rescue someone."

Qin Tian suddenly raised his head and told Duan Xiaodao.

"Rescue someone, who are you rescuing?"

Upon hearing Qin Tian, Duan Xiaodao frowned.

Seeing Qin Tian’s silence, he suddenly realized and asked in surprise, "Boss, are you planning... to rescue that Deputy Commander of the Demon Clan?"

Qin Tian nodded.

"But why? Do you know that Deputy Commander of the Demon Clan?" Duan Xiaodao was puzzled.

Qin Tian explained, "This time, the thirty thousand captives of the Demon Clan were released at the risk of his life by Deputy Commander Jin Lin, allowing me to take them away. Now that he’s been captured, it must be because of this. You tell me, he helped me, can I just ignore it?"

Duan Xiaodao was stunned, and after a few seconds, he nodded solemnly, "I didn’t expect that among the Demon Clan, there’s someone with such insight. Boss, we should save such a person. But how do we save him?"

"The only way is to intercept them halfway!" Qin Tian’s eyes showed a flash of ruthlessness.

"Alright, how many people do we need?" Duan Xiaodao agreed without hesitation.

"You come with me, plus ten generals from the Qin Family. It’s not about the number, but the ability to fight a quick battle."

Immediately, Qin Tian and Duan Xiaodao gathered ten experts from the Qin Family army, all of whom were at the Late Stage of the Small Immortal Realm or above, making them extremely powerful within the Human Clan army.

The twelve of them sprinted all the way. Qin Tian, having seen the Demon Clan’s map, knew that from Demon God River, heading north to Demon City, there was a main road. He expected that the Demon Clan commander would not anticipate an interception, so he would definitely leave the main army north of Demon God River and personally escort Jin Lin with his personal guards to Demon City.

After all, Jin Lin was the Young Master of Demon Spirit City, and this matter concerned the relations between Demon City and Demon Spirit City. Shi Zhan would certainly want to report this to the Demon King himself and claim credit.

Indeed, as Qin Tian had anticipated, Shi Zhan led two thousand guards, escorting Jin Lin, taking the main road and hurriedly heading to Demon City.

However, they were unguarded and did not expect anyone to intercept them midway, so although they moved quickly, they also rested adequately at night.

But Qin Tian and the twelve were different. Each of them disguised themselves, and to avoid alarming the enemy, they used True Qi to enhance their movement and rushed continuously through the night. After surpassing Shi Zhan’s troops by thirty kilometers, they set up an ambush in a valley.

By noon, Shi Zhan, accompanied by his guard army, rode demon beasts, moving mightily forward.

This unit appeared to be casual and unguarded.

When Qin Tian had Ah Tai suddenly charge down from the top of the valley, the two thousand troops were instantly in chaos.

"Don’t panic, it’s a demon beast from the mountains, shoot it down!"

Seeing Ah Tai rapidly approaching, Shi Zhan, dressed in white armor, shouted angrily.

Over a dozen True Qi crossbowmen with accuracy in their shooting skills immediately moved to the front and unleashed a volley on Ah Tai!

"Hmm?"

As the shower of arrows enveloped Ah Tai, Shi Zhan saw the dense Fire Attribute True Qi radiating from Ah Tai’s body, and his eyes lit up.

"Haha, a demon beast with innate Fire Attribute True Qi—its beast core must greatly benefit cultivation. Slaughter it for me, don’t let it escape!"

Shi Zhan assumed that Ah Tai was a high-cultivation-level demon beast, so when he saw Ah Tai dodge the arrow shower, he was not alarmed but rather excited, thinking he had found a treasure.
