Chapter 48: The Martial Artist on the Mountain Peak
Translator: 549690339
The time was adjusted slightly.
Even a powerful warrior like the Secretary of the Education Department, Gu Xing Zhou, was unable to resist the massive earth vein twist.
The ability to twist the earth vein came from the dragon pearl of the Earth-overturning Dragon.
The Earthworm was a great demon that was born in the Myriad Beast Mountain’s mystic realm’s earth vein. In a sense, it was equivalent to a part of the Myriad Beast Mountain’s earth vein.
The Ancient Star Continent naturally had no way of resisting the power of the entire Myriad Beast Mountain’s earth vein. If he had that strength, he would be able to take down the Myriad Beast Mountain alone…
Because it was one of the two parties that were mainly affected, the severely injured white cat almost died in the violent twist of the earth vein. It had to switch to the cat form and revert to the infant stage.
Gu Xing Zhou naturally couldn’t be safe and sound-he felt a little dizzy.
By the time he came back to his senses, he had already appeared at the top of the mountain.
Gu Xing Zhou frowned deeply as he faced the ferocious gazes of the many great demons.
“This is troublesome…”
A huge toad that seemed to be carrying a bright moon on its back opened its mouth and spoke in human language, “Human? I don’t remember this being part of the deal…lt’s food delivered to your doorstep.”
It smiled sinisterly. The moon behind it changed its phase as time passed. The full moon, crescent moon, and new moon repeated themselves.
How did you deal with the Shadows? A huge Tribulation Centipede asked coldly.
Demons would not be able to grow their cultivation by eating ordinary humans, and the taste was not good either. Therefore, only low-level demons would eat ordinary humans. Those fellows did not have high intelligence, so they were not picky eaters.
It wasn’t as if the demons on the mountain peak didn’t eat ordinary humans.
In fact, some demons would still eat them, but humans were very protective of their own. Normal training was fine, but if a high-level demon entered the battlefield to kill, it was very likely to attract the revenge of human experts. Humans were in a dire situation, but they were unusually crazy when it came to revenge.
That ruthlessness that he would rather die than live in disgrace was something that even demons and devils were afraid of sometimes.
Demons were selfish and would not sacrifice themselves for the sake of the other.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, great demons and great demons found it troublesome and were too lazy to eat ordinary people.
However, it was different this time. They stayed at the top of the mountain and did not break the ‘transaction rule’. This martial artist had delivered himself to their doorstep…
The taste and benefits of the flesh and blood of high-level martial artists were completely different from that of ordinary people.
It was worth eating.
Moreover, devouring martial artists of the same level might not necessarily attract revenge… At least not for the time being.
However, it was a little troublesome to eat them. Each of the martial artists had terrifying combat strength. In a one-on-one battle, even demons of the same level would find it difficult to gain the upper hand.
If it were not for the fact that the human population was far inferior to that of the Monster Race and Demon Race, the losses would be unimaginable if a full-scale war broke out. The living standards of the human race would probably be even worse.
The current situation…They were more than ten great fiendish demons, and they were facing a martial artist of the same level. So what if the martial artist could fight?
“What should we do?” An ugly hyena licked its lips.’”‘ Naturally, I’ll eat it. It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted a powerful martial artist…”
“Me too,” said the Moon Swallowing Toad coldly.”
As Gu Xing Zhou listened to the conversation of the demons, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
“Sixteen Four Star Fiendish Demons…l’m afraid it won’t be easy this time. Those children…”
“We can’t give up until the last moment!”
The secretary’s gaze gradually sharpened, but he did not despair.
‘ The sooner we leave this place, the more children we can save…l can’t waste time here!”
While the demons were talking, the Ancient Star Continent was not idle either. They had been secretly accumulating their strength and waiting for an opportunity.
The Moon-Swallowing Toad’s jaw bulged, and it opened its mouth to spit. The bright moon on its back emitted a faint cold light, and an extremely cold aura was spat out. Even the space seemed to be frozen.
“Get lost!”
Gu Xingzhou roared angrily. His entire body turned into a pure golden color as he guarded against the attacks of the demons. At the same time, his surging blood essence condensed into three pairs of huge arms behind him. They were like wings that accompanied Gu Xingzhou’s palms as he fiercely slapped out!
“Eight Gates, Heavenly Stele!”
The eight huge palm prints turned into a golden-red Heavenly Stele with mysterious inscriptions carved on it. The inscriptions on the stone stele were abnormally clear, as if they were real. They actually forcefully pushed back the icy aura!
“Moo!”
A huge bull charged out and charged forward. Its body was like cracked earth, and red lava flowed through its skin.
It endured the cold and smashed into the Eight Heavenly Stele Palms of the Ancient Star Continent, shattering them.
“Hmm?” Bull was stunned.
The strength of these eight giant palms was unexpectedly weak…
Before it could come back to its senses, Gu Xing Zhou had already transformed into a stream of light and flew into the distance.
A feint!
Gu Xing Zhou knew very well that the most important thing for him to do now was not to fight here. Sixteen Four Star Fiendish Demons were not something he could contend against.
Even if he could drag one or two demons down with him, the death of one or two demons would not allow the children who were still waiting for rescue to survive.
The most important thing now was to save people, not to kill demons!
Run!
Gu Xing Zhou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no demons were chasing after him. He thought to himself, It seems like these demons are still abiding by the agreement they made back then and will not leave the mountain peak easily.
The demons surrounded the Moon-Swallowing Toad and looked at the bright moon on its back.
Beast realm mane dog: You are smart, let him consume his own strength, wait for him to consume almost, we can eat him without any effort.”
“How is it?” Did I act well just now?”
“Didn’t I say that giving me the Moonlight Mirror was the best choice?” the
Moon Swallowing Toad said proudly. After refining the moon of Myriad Beast Mountain, I have mastered the power of space and ice. That human will never be able to escape!”
A relatively small Hundred-eyed Magic Crow opened its mouth and let out an unusually unpleasant sound.”lf I didn’t use the illusion to confuse him, do you think he would run into your moon?”
They looked at the bright moon. On the bright moon, there was a stream of light that was flying rapidly. It was the Ancient Star Continent!
Gu Xing Zhou had no idea that when he turned around and fled, he was heading towards the Moon Swallowing Toad. While the demons were conversing, the Hundred-eyed Demonic Crow had already set up an illusion.
The demons seemed to be discussing whether they should eat the Ancient Star Continent, but in reality, they had no intention of letting him go from the beginning.
How could he easily give up on food that was delivered to his doorstep?
Now, they only needed to wait here. When the Ancient Star Continent’s energy was almost exhausted, they would be able to devour it effortlessly!
This human came to the mountain peak by himself and didn’t eat?
Gu Xing Zhou ran wildly, using the Graceful Fleeting to the extreme.
This was an extremely brilliant straight-line movement technique. When it was activated, it could turn into a stream of light and drag out a beautiful stream of light.
At the same time, it was also extremely fast.
With the Ancient Star Continent’s cultivation base, if it were to operate at full speed, it could reach four times the speed of sound!
After running for a while, Gu Xing Zhou turned around and glanced.
The demons were dumbfounded. They stood rooted to the ground and stared at the Ancient Star Continent.
Perhaps it was because it noticed Gu Xingzhou turning around, it actually let out a furious roar, telling Gu Xingzhou not to run.
Gu Xing Zhou quickened his pace once again, but he gradually became suspicious.
“That Illusion Dominator’s creation can make them so obedient?” As he ran, he gradually discovered that something was wrong.
After feeling puzzled, he kept looking back as he ran.
Every time he turned his head, the demons would roar angrily at the right time. Every time he turned his head, the distance between the demons and him did not seem to change…
Looking closely, although the surrounding scene was rapidly retreating, it seemed to be repeating itself..
“Damn it, Hundred-eyed Demon Crow!”
Gu Xing Zhou finally realized the problem.
Among the 16 Four-Star Fiendish Demons, there was a Four-Star Devil, a Hundred-Eyed Devil Crow that specialized in creating illusions!
High-level demons were huge, but demons were not.
Other than some special demons, most of the demons would not change much even if they advanced to four-star or five-star.
Bigger meant stronger, and it wasn’t suitable for all living beings.
After sprinting for a long time, Gu Xingzhou stopped, his expression uncertain.
When the demons saw Gu Xing Zhou stop, they looked around curiously.”ls it almost used up?”
“Probably? I already felt that he wasn’t in a good state.”
“Then can we start eating?”
The demons discussed.
Gu Xing Zhou’s expression was not too good. He did not know where the Hundred Eyed Devil Crow was, nor did he know where he was.
As such, he had no way of breaking through the illusion through conventional means…
“It’s just a few Grotto-heaven Star Whirlpools!”
Gu Xing Zhou gritted his teeth.
Seventy-two spots of light suddenly lit up on his body and spread out across his body.
At the same time, seventy-two dazzling blood qi stars suddenly appeared behind him. The seventy-two blood qi stars formed a somewhat abstract human figure in the void.
“Break!”
He did not hesitate at all. The human figure formed by the blood qi stars suddenly punched out. The three blood qi stars formed into a fist directly exploded in exchange for powerful strength!
Gu Xing Zhou self-detonated three blood essence star whirlpools. The surging blood essence power exploded rapidly, erupting with an abnormally terrifying impact force.
The surrounding demons were blinded by the dazzling light, and even the moon on the back of the Moon Swallowing Toad was blasted open.
The Bright Moon Space was damaged, and a huge hole appeared in the sky. The illusion shattered, and Gu Xing Zhou raised his head to see the heads of the ferocious beasts.
“Croak!” the Moon-Swallowing Toad cried out in pain. Damn humans!”
