Chapter 046: The Strength of the Heavenly Soldiers

The demons under Wang Bo's command, though they were rabble from hell and low-ranking demons sent by Lady Gremory, were not cannon fodder; their abilities far exceeded those of ordinary humans.

To put it this way: although these demons were weak in ability, they could easily thrash a Captain America.

In the Marvel world, many ordinary superheroes and supervillains were no match for these demons.

Only the very famous heroes could beat the demons, and top-tier superheroes like Thor could even go on a rampage among the demon horde.

Thus it could be seen that the strength of these low-ranking demons was not actually poor.

Moreover, though each seemed evil, when transformed into humans, they were as handsome as the Round Table Host Club, and in the human world, they would be top-tier handsome guys.

If they debuted, they could easily become superheroes.

When several dozen demons united, even a superhero like Spider-Man would have to eat dirt.

Not to mention superheroes like Ant-Man, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Daredevil. Even Black Panther, with his high-tech suit, would probably be humiliated.

Boom!

At Wang Bo's command, the demons and heavenly soldiers collided in an instant, and the two sides engaged in a frenzied slaughter in the circular plaza.

A heavenly soldier wielded a longsword and slashed it down at a demon's head.

The demon, not to be outdone, raised his claw and grabbed at the heavenly soldier's weapon, as if trying to break it. The two non-humans exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.

The heavenly soldier's longsword and the demon's claw clashed, sparking brilliant flashes of fire.

The heavenly soldier did not split the demon's claw, nor did the demon break the heavenly soldier's longsword with his claw.

But the demon was in pain, growling lowly, and his claw bore shallow white sword marks one after another. Clearly, in this clash, he had come off worse.

Although his claw was hard, under the slashing of the longsword, it inevitably felt pain.

Realizing this, the demon left an afterimage on the spot and retreated dozens of meters in an instant. The heavenly soldier slashed through the afterimage with his sword before realizing it was not the demon's true body. He turned his gaze and locked onto the demon again.

Seeing this, the demon seemed to understand something: this strange soldier, though astonishing in combat power, was not very bright.

The demon revealed a victorious smile. The shadow under his feet shifted and gradually expanded, and the demon's body slowly sank into his own shadow.

Seeing this, the heavenly soldier charged out in an instant, breaking the sound barrier almost immediately, creating a white sonic boom cloud, and rushed to the demon like a bolt of lightning.

A burst of sword light erupted, sealing off all the demon's escape routes from all directions.

The demon smiled slightly, and the shadow under his feet instantly formed a sphere, enveloping him inside.

The heavenly soldier, expressionless, swung his longsword. The brilliant sword light was incredibly sharp, like a hot knife cutting through butter, slicing the black sphere to pieces.

The next second, the heavenly soldier thrust his longsword at the demon's head.

But just as Wang Bo thought the heavenly soldier had won, the scattered shadow fragments turned into black threads that pierced the heavenly soldier's body.

Pfft, pfft...

The heavenly soldier's longsword stopped just a few centimeters from the demon's head, unable to advance any further.

The seemingly short distance of a few centimeters was like a chasm, impossible to cross.

A few seconds later, the heavenly soldier's body gradually turned to dust and vanished into the air.

In this battle, whether in rhythm or intelligence, the heavenly soldier was toyed with by the demon.

This also gave Wang Bo an understanding of the heavenly soldiers' combat power.

Head-on, the heavenly soldier's combat power was not inferior to the demon's, but the heavenly soldier was too rigid, possessing only combat ability without combat intelligence, like a fighting puppet, so he was easily toyed with by the demon.

Fortunately, Wang Bo had consumed a third of his magic power this time and summoned a total of one hundred heavenly soldiers.

If every heavenly soldier had such strength, this immortal technique was not too weak.

Moreover, this was only a copied version.

Even after being upgraded by the Woodcutter's Spring, it could not compare to the original Soldiers from Beans.

Wang Bo then copied a few more beans, put them into his four-dimensional pocket, and then swallowed the original Soldiers from Beans.

In an instant, Wang Bo felt his Soldiers from Beans had been upgraded.

He raised his hand, consumed another third of his magic power, produced a handful of beans, and threw them out.

This time, Wang Bo actually summoned one hundred and fifty heavenly soldiers.

More interestingly, these heavenly soldiers had lively eyes. When they saw Wang Bo, though they could not speak, they took the initiative to bow and salute, behaving more like living people than puppets.

Wang Bo pointed at the demon and said, "Come out, one of you, and fight him."

A heavenly soldier nodded, stepped out from the crowd, and held a spear. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he shot out like a streak of light, reaching the demon in an instant.

The shadow under the demon's feet boiled, and countless black threads shot out like lasers, filling the void.

The heavenly soldier twisted his wrist, and his spear swept out like a violent storm, knocking away all the threads in an instant. Like a sharp blade, he cut through layers of blockade and arrived before the demon.

The demon was greatly startled, opened his mouth, and spewed a jet of black flame. The flame ignited the void, and the air temperature instantly soared to over a thousand degrees.

But at that moment, the heavenly soldier's body made an odd arc, executing a sharp turn, circling behind the demon, and thrusting his spear through the demon's body.

With just a burst of force, he could have killed the demon.

"Stop!" Wang Bo immediately ordered the heavenly soldier.

Although Wang Bo did not like demons, this demon was still his subordinate, so Wang Bo naturally would not kill him.

The heavenly soldier nodded slightly, withdrew his spear, and flew back to Wang Bo.

Yes, flying.

The upgraded heavenly soldiers could not only fly but also at no slow speed. More interestingly, when they flew, an invisible force isolated the air, preventing sonic booms.

Wang Bo beckoned the injured demon over, infused him with a stream of magic power, and helped heal his wounds.

After the demon recovered, Wang Bo waved his hand.

The demon respectfully withdrew.

Wang Bo made a gesture to the heavenly soldier: Come, let me test your strength.

The heavenly soldier nodded, and in an instant, charged at Wang Bo with his spear. He was summoned by Wang Bo and obeyed his commands without question.

In an instant, the two were locked in combat.
