Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 647 - 647 633 Lion-faced Beast

Chapter 647: Chapter 633: Lion-faced Beast Chapter 647: Chapter 633: Lion-faced Beast Guo Mingyu was also resting directly ahead, everything was quiet, and the night had deepened.

Hu Nanyue had made arrangements, having already entered the dense forest, they knew that the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan were nearby. They didn’t know whether they would suddenly attack.

Guo Mingyu remained cautious.

Hu Nanyue said, “Su Zhanze and Qiao Haoyu are behind us, but they seem to have separated. Should we wait for them and act together?”

Guo Mingyu replied, “There’s no need, we can pace ourselves. They should catch up soon. The matter in Demon Valley is more important.”

Elder fifth Hu Nanyue nodded upon hearing this, “The people from the Dragon Slaying Clan have already come in. I wonder if they will attack us.”

“There’s a possibility. We need to be careful.” Guo Mingyu replied.

Hu Nanyue said, “Xuan Qian and his people have received our message. They will be cautious and will not allow the Dragon Slaying Clan to take over.”

Guo Mingyu retorted, “It would be different if they took over. Don’t be too hopeful, we must hurry on. The Dragon Slaying Clan is prepared. You should know how Longhun operates, he surely knows Xuan Qian and his people are guarding. He wouldn’t come casually. If he dares to come, it means he is well-prepared.”

Hu Nanyue thought back to the events from two months earlier and couldn’t help but become grave.

“Longhun is a formidable foe. We can’t afford to lose.”

“Understood.”

“Hurry, keep an eye on the movements ahead. Report immediately with any changes.”

Hu Nanyue nodded in acknowledgment.

“Especially pay attention to Demon Valley. We can’t be the last to know if a fight breaks out.”

“Yes, the Master is right.”

“I hope everything will be peaceful.”

The people of Mo Ku had their eyes on those from Immortal City and Demon Palace City.

Someone came to report, “They’re right behind us but they’re divided into three groups. Guo Mingyu is at the front, one day ahead of Su Zhanze, and Qiao Haoyu is behind Su Zhanze with the Immortal City Sect. I don’t know what they’re up to. How should we deal with them?”

A bearded middle-aged man said, “I think we should directly deal with Guo Mingyu at the front. They’re moving the fastest so we should block them first.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Ku immediately said, “No, if you target Guo Mingyu, those at the back may catch up and help, rendering it ineffective. Guo Mingyu must be left to deal with last, we can’t let them regroup. We must deal with them separately. If you deal with the ones in front, the ones behind will catch up, but if you deal with the ones at the back, those in front might not turn back. So we deal with the back first, then the difficult Guo Mingyu.”

The bearded middle-aged man agreed: “Yes, the chief is absolutely right.”

A burly man said, “Indeed, we can’t let them regroup. That would make it harder for us. It’s more advantageous for us if they’re scattered.”

The bearded man asked, “So we deal with the last group?”

“We deal with the group in the middle,” Mo Ku answered “They are mostly youngsters with little experience, should not be too difficult. They are only eighteen or nineteen years old. What can they expect?” At this point, he didn’t have many people with him and didn’t want to provoke Guo Mingyu right at the start.

“I wonder if Guo Mingyu will turn back and help.” the bearded middle-aged man muttered.

“Who cares, let’s first disperse them!” Mo Ku continued, “Even if Guo Mingyu comes back, he won’t make it in time. Our goal is to slow down their speed so they can’t arrive in time.”

The bearded man agreed, “We first scatter the people from the Immortal City Sect at the back, then deal with those from Demon Palace City.”

“Hey, stop the idle chatter here, get the Lion-faced Beast ready. Let them taste its power.” Mo Ku ordered.

The sky was yet to brighten. The forest was covered in thick fog, with dew forming on the leaves.

The silent forest seemed unwilling to wake up.

Su Zhanze had already awakened.

Suddenly, a man ran over and said, “There seems to be some movement ahead.”

Su Zhanze stood up and saw that indeed, the forest ahead was stirring, like a mounting wave.

He urgently called out, “Everyone, get up quickly!”

Yuan Jingxing was still unaware of what was happening.

Su Zhanze only uttered two words: “Danger ahead.”

Those who were still sleeping were quickly roused from their dreams.

A flock of Winged Dragons took flight, and a dozen fireballs came smashing down like meteors, breaking the silence of the forest.

Su Zhanze led Yuan Jingxing to the very front, shouting, “Quick, regroup. We can’t let them scatter us.”

They kept getting closer.

Whoosh, whoosh…

Suddenly, creatures attacked. They were like apes with four hands, lion-like faces, wide, gaping mouths, and claws as long as sickles, lunging at them as if ready to take flight.

They attacked the crowd at once.

Su Zhanze pushed his palms forward and shouted, “Don’t let them break our ranks!” If they we scattered, they’d lose their combat power. He wanted to stay at the front.

His powerful energy burst out, stabling his side and resisting the impact.

But he was only one man. The attacking lion-faced beasts were ferocious and numerous, taking them by surprise.

Someone at the back said, “This must be the work of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Yuan Jingxing commanded from behind, “Hold your ground, all leaders, hold your positions, don’t panic!”

The situation was tense. If they weren’t careful, they’d be scattered completely. Once scattered, they’d be done for. So, he knew, no matter how difficult, they must hold their ground and not let these lion-faced beasts prevail.

Whoa, whoa, whoa…

The enemies attacked with the noise of ghostly wails, and more and more fireballs flew from several directions.

Some of the disciples couldn’t take it. These giant beasts, famished like they hadn’t eaten for months, lunged as soon as they saw a human. Their long claws could shear through weapons. They leapt, attacked, struck like a shifting boulder, their impact forceful, and as swift as lightning.

Boom, boom, boom… thick smoke filled the air.

There was a breach in the corner, they were about to break in.

Yuan Jingxing rushed over to help, shouting, “Release our Immortal Beasts!”

It seemed to be the only way to cushion the impact.

Yuan Jingxing unleashed streams of sword light.

In less than a half moment, it became a clash of opposing forces. The ground trembled, trees were burned, and firelight was everywhere.

Guo Mingyu, in the front, was awakened by the noise and wondered what was happening at the back.

Hu Nanyue ran back and reported, “It seems like the Immortal City Sect has run into some trouble.”

The booming sound and thick smoke were clear, even on their side of the mountain. It was evident how ferocious the battle was.

Guo Mingyu said, “It’s probably the Third Demon.”

“Should we go back then? It seems very intense. I wonder if Su Zhanze and the others can hold them off.” Hu Nanyue knew that those rookies lacked experience and might fall into a trap easily.

Guo Mingyu was silent for a moment.

Hu Nanyue suggested, “Su Zhanze and the others are young and inexperienced. They may be at a disadvantage. Should we go back and help them?”

Guo Mingyu said, “We don’t know the situation there yet. But I think, the Dragon Slaying Clan is not aiming to annihilate them, but to scatter them, blocking their way to the Demon Valley.”

Hu Nanyue nodded in agreement, implying that it made sense. They had already entered the Demon Valley. For the Dragon Slaying Clan, the most important thing now was to release the Raging Wolf Clan sealed beneath. He still insisted and asked, “What if something happens to them if we don’t go back?”

“I will go back with a small group of people, quickly. It’s not good to have too many people returning in case we walk into an ambush. The Demon Valley is now the most crucial point, and we can’t let the Dragon Slaying Clan release what’s inside. You lead them forward. I will go back and check. Once I rescue them, I will catch up with you. You guys also be careful. If the Dragon Slaying Clan decides to attack the disciples from the Immortal City Sect, they will very likely do the same to us.” Guo Mingyu continued.

Hu Nanyue said, “Don’t worry, I will be very careful.”

Guo Mingyu immediately took a group of agile and capable men towards the sound.

Those who followed Su Zhanze like Qiao Haoyu were still caught unaware, almost never imagining that something would attack them. Therefore, they were not prepared at all. At the same moment, both Su Zhanze at the front and Qiao Haoyu at the back were attacked.

The charging lion-faced beasts caused them to lose their bearings instantly.

The chaotic noise was something Qiao Haoyu had never seen nor handled before.

Ren Haotian, who was accompanying him, was hardly any better, how could he have anticipated this kind of situation?

Boom, boom, boom, smoke was everywhere.

Mo Ku was very clear; scatter them first, make them lose their bearings, and then ruthlessly kill them, forcing them to hide. This way they would be stopped.

Qiao Haoyu, feeling quite vexed, cursed, “Damn it, it’s the Dragon Slaying Clan. I’m not going to let them off.” Then he complained, “Why hasn’t Su Zhanze come for help? Aren’t they members of Immortal City Sect too?”

“No, they are also being attacked. I guess we can only rely on ourselves now.” one of his men responded.

Ren Haotian had never seen such ferocious and bloody creatures before, and he was already panic-stricken. He had no idea how to organize a response. The small martial arts skill he had was practically negligible. His followers, newly joined members of the Immortal City Sect, were counting on him and Qiao Haoyu for guidance.

Qiao Haoyu was just an idiot who only knew how to eat. He talked big, but he was clueless inside. He hadn’t made much progress over the years.

They were instantly thrown into chaos.
