Chapter 68: The fight

The spheres in the area near the capital showed cracks, then shattered into black smoke before dissolving into the air. At this moment, the ferocious beasts also revealed themselves. Chu Wu stared at the beasts intently and said:

"But these beasts are definitely not alive. I affirm this. They are certainly not living creatures."

Hearing this, the other three immediately nodded. They had also noticed that the first time they saw them. Zhu Ji Feng’s expression seemed quite unsightly as he said:

How are we supposed to kill something that’s not alive?"

Everyone fell silent, uncertain. It was the first time they encountered such a strange situation. Despite Chu Wu’s many years of combat experience, facing countless different opponents, they were living creatures. But this group was not.

Chu Wu pondered for a moment before proposing a course of action that could be taken at this moment. He said:

"The monsters in front of us are in a lower realm than us. If we join forces to crush them quickly, we might find a way to destroy the monsters."

Everyone nodded, and Yan Meng Long stepped forward. She leaped high and then delivered a thunderous punch straight down onto the monster’s head.

The monster’s head was dented deeply, and its body was forced to lie down by the force of the punch.

The other three immediately acted, continuously attacking to shatter the limbs and torso of the monster.

Yan Meng Long also paid attention to the dent she had created, noticing it was quickly regenerating. She said:

"Stop, let’s observe for a moment. This monster doesn’t have the ability to defeat us, so using it as a research subject is also a good option."

Upon hearing this, the three immediately stopped and began to observe the monster. Now, time was pressing, so they had to handle things more calmly. As long as they found a way to destroy the monster, they would immediately attack.

The monster’s body was rapidly healing, its torn limbs showing signs of quick recovery.

"The speed of this recovery is truly dreadful. It seems that to destroy the monster, we must do it quickly and inflict serious wounds. Otherwise, it will be meaningless." Chu Wu analyzed.

The other three nodded, then quickly smashed the monster’s body. During the battle, Yan Meng Long discovered the core of the monster. She immediately pulled it out, and then the monster’s body slowly evaporated.

For a moment, all four of them were stunned, but then they happily laughed. Sheng Yuan said:

"Great! Now we know how to completely destroy the monsters."

Chu Wu nodded, pondering the most effective countermeasure. Suddenly, he felt a power completely beyond him.

The four of them jumped to a high point and looked in one direction, where a monster stood fifteen meters tall. Zhu Ji Feng took a deep breath:

"This... it’s terribly strong."

The other three also felt uneasy, remembering that when they fought a six-meter-tall monster earlier, they realized how tough its skin was. Now, facing a monstrously strong one, they couldn’t possibly penetrate its skin.

"What should we do now?" Sheng Yuan asked.

Her question silenced everyone. What could they do? Defeat that monster? Don’t joke! Just surviving one of its blows would be their best effort.

Chu Wu also felt a sense of helplessness and desperation he had never experienced before. He took a deep breath and said:

"Haiz, the best way is to quickly eliminate all the six and nine-meter-tall monsters. As for that one, we just need to hold it off together. The longer, the better. It’s best to hold on until Jun Wu Xiao and the others arrive at the capital. Then, perhaps, there will be a chance for victory."

Everyone sighed, they were truly out of options. Though they said so, they knew well that the monster before them was much stronger than Jun Wu Xiao, so even if he arrived, it would only prolong the delaying tactics.

Suddenly, Sheng Yuan remembered something and said:

"Xia Ni must have also discovered the existence of this monster. He previously said to gather all explosives to the capital. If we have a massive amount of explosives, we might be able to destroy it. But..."

She suddenly stopped, and they knew what she wanted to say. Zhu Ji Feng laughed and said:

"Ha ha. But perhaps some of us will have to die, or all of us, right? Do you think we are afraid of death? And I’m sure you’re not afraid of death either."

Chu Wu and Yan Meng Long nodded. Being true cultivators, they weren’t much different from the dead. It’s just that they had their responsibilities, while the dead didn’t.

To put it harshly, they were tools, existing only to carry out their responsibilities - an endless responsibility. But being tools was also a choice, no one forced them into it.

Sheng Yuan smiled bitterly when hearing this. She did worry about them, but she had forgotten who they were. They were just like her, burdened with immense responsibilities, destined to shoulder the world. How could they fear death?

"Alright, then let’s split up. Chu Wu and I will handle the left side, while you two handle the right side. Any questions?" Sheng Yuan said.

Everyone nodded and immediately set out to destroy the monsters. Their only goal was to eliminate all the monsters as quickly as possible.

.....

A moment later, in the Kunlun mountains, the peaks had been heavily damaged by the fierce battle. The total destruction caused by Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang in the past couldn’t compare to a fraction of this battle.

Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang had killed dozens of monsters, but they were only the six-meter-tall ones. The nine-meter-tall ones were extremely difficult to kill when they attacked at the same time.

Both of them had suffered many wounds. Jun Wu Xiao said:

"Yue Guang, shall we ignore them and focus on destroying the nine-meter-tall ones first? If we run, it will be difficult for the six-meter-tall ones to catch up with us. Continuing to fight them will only expose us to constant attacks from the nine-meter-tall ones."

Yue Guang nodded. The difference in numbers between the two sides was too great, and the strength of each individual monster was not inferior.

They immediately ran to find the right opportunity. As long as there was a nine-meter-tall monster separated from the rest, they would attack immediately.
