Just at this moment, Commander Xu noticed that in the battlefield under his charge, the high-level Demon Beasts had been almost all killed, leaving only a few low-level ones that could no longer pose a significant threat.
“Lu Yun, join me in killing this damn beast!”
As expected, Lu Yun gladly agreed.
“Humans, do you think I’d give you the chance?”
When the powerful bull sensed that the number of Demon Beasts in the battlefield was dwindling, it had already decided to retreat.
Now, feeling a strong aura rapidly approaching, it did not hesitate to flee from Commander Xu and rushed towards another battlefield.
Boom boom boom!
The ground shook as the power of the bull made leaps spanning dozens of feet, its speed incredibly astonishing.
“You’re not getting away!”
As soon as Lu Yun demonstrated his extraordinary combat prowess, Commander Xu had already prepared to kill the powerful bull, so he remained alert for any attempted escape.
A Demon Beast at the mid-Fifth Rank is considered a high-level combatant among the Demon Beast army. If it escaped to wreak havoc elsewhere, the damage would be incalculable.
“Oh no, the powerful bull is charging over here!”
The Black Tiger Army troops were terrified. The powerful bull, a mid-Fifth Rank Demon Beast, would easily exterminate a large group of Body Tempering and Meridian Passage Realm soldiers with just a collision.
“Damned beast, die!”
At the crucial moment, Commander Xu unleashed his hidden trump card. In a burst of great speed, he reached the sky above the powerful bull. The black lance in his hand flickered with light, and the shadows of countless thrusts cascaded down like a torrential rain, all aimed at the bull’s enormous body.
Despite the powerful onslaught, the damage inflicted on the giant beast was minimal, yet it successfully blocked its escape route.
“Damn it!” The furious bull’s lantern-sized eyes turned bloodshot, and it was forced to retreat.
“Prison Chain Frenzied Dragon!”
As the commander of the Black Tiger Army, Commander Xu naturally wielded a formidable spear technique. His figure appeared like a falling star, and then True Origin and Martial Arts Intent quickly surged into the long spear. With a thrust, the spear pierced through the void.
This strike felt like it could shatter the sky. Even the defensive power of the giant bull was terrifying, it now had a long bloody wound on its body. The blood gushed out like a fountain, violently pouring out.
As not much difference existed in their strength, it was not easy for either side to claim victory quickly.
The powerful bull, worried about facing the combined attack of Lu Yun and Commander Xu, lost its fighting spirit. As it tried to flee, Commander Xu seized the opportunity and gained an advantage.
Following Commander Xu’s terrifying attack, the powerful bull was severely injured but not fatally.
“Humans, you won’t be able to hold me back!”
With its ferocious hooves stomping the ground, the surrounding area of dozens of feet instantly collapsed. Taking advantage of this shockwave, the powerful bull shot up into the sky, making a desperate attempt to escape.
Watching this scene, Commander Xu’s brow furrowed.
If he forced himself to stop the bull’s escape, he would risk suffering severe injuries. Additionally, he may fail in stopping it.
With the outcome of the battle still undetermined, getting severely injured would only bring him closer to death.
After some thought, Commander Xu finally gave up the idea of interfering.
Just then, it was as if Commander Xu had discovered something. An indiscernible flash of Thunderbolt Domain suddenly appeared, and the surrounding void was immediately influenced, with ripples emerging.
Following that, overlapping layers of purple thunderbolts materialized, lightning flickered, and electric light intertwined. In an instant, a purple world emerged between heaven and earth.
At the center of the purple world stood a teenager dressed in a Star Robe.
In the blink of an eye, the range of the purple Thunderbolt Domain extended to the distant horizon.
Lu Yun, carrying the Thunderbolt Domain, appeared above the powerful bull. With a stomp, his intense force landed on the bull’s horns, and the destructive energy of the thunderbolts rapidly spread throughout the massive bull’s body.
The fizzling and crackling Thunderbolt power pierced through its incredibly thick flesh, traveling throughout its body, causing it to tremble violently. Coupled with the nearly 200,000 pounds of colossal force that Lu Yun unleashed, the powerful bull was violently thrust back to the ground. It crashed heavily, stirring up a massive cloud of dust.
“Well done! Excellent! Marvelous!”
Seeing the fallen powerful bull, Commander Xu shouted his approval three times, revealing his inner excitement.
“The power of Brother Lu Yun…” At this point, Liang Shaowen was completely stunned.
As for the other martial artists and soldiers of the Black Tiger Army who witnessed this scene, they were at a loss for words to describe it. All they could do was channel the excitement in their hearts into their fighting spirit as they battled the Demon Beasts.
Roar! Roar! Roar!!!
At this moment, in the Demon Beast army, several roars rang out in succession, shaking the sky, and waves of powerful demon energy swept over.
The sudden turn of events made Commander Xu’s face change drastically.
“Hahaha, my reinforcements have arrived, now it’s my turn to launch a counterattack!”
Enormous Wild Bull stood up from the deep pit, ignoring the crackling thunder on its body and laughing loudly.
“You have no chance!”
A dull voice sounded, and then the light of a blade suddenly bloomed, rapidly turning into endless blade shadows, quickly filling the giant eye sockets of the Enormous Wild Bull.
As the long blade fell on the robust body of the Enormous Wild Bull, the endless blade shadows instantly converged, gathering on the long blade.
Phlutt!
The pair of incredibly hard horns were severed, and the razor-sharp long blade penetrated the skull, tearing apart any signs of life with its rampaging force.
Though Lu Yun had slain the Enormous Wild Bull, no one could rejoice.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Eight mountain-like Demon Beasts stepped towards their direction, the ground shook violently, and a terrifying oppressive force mixed with powerful demon energy approached.
Among them were scale-armored creatures, giant apes covered in thick fur, and spiders with sharp, massive legs. Each emitted a powerful aura, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.
“My God, eight fifth-rank Demon Beasts are heading our way.”
“Are we doomed?”
The many Martial Artists felt the oppressive terror as their faces turned pale, and panic rose in their hearts. Even the resolute soldiers of the Black Tiger Army harbored thoughts of retreat at this moment.
“Everyone, don’t be afraid. These Demon Beasts are not targeting us,” a commander dressed in black armor commanded sharply.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked again and indeed saw the truth.
It turned out that the eight fifth-rank Demon Beasts were all headed in one direction.
That was precisely where Lu Yun was positioned.
“This human is incredibly powerful, even killing the old bull.”
“Let’s attack together! We need to hold him off; we can wear him out!”
Two Demon Beasts rushed forward first, and in their eyes looking at Lu Yun, there was a hint of apprehension.
Soon, four more fifth-rank Demon Beasts arrived, surrounding Lu Yun.
In the sky, two Flying Beast demons swooped down.
At this moment, Lu Yun also felt the pressure.
“Among these eight Demon Beasts, two rank in the late Fifth-Rank, three in the middle, and two in the initial stage.” Through the demon energy and the oppressive aura they emitted, Lu Yun immediately determined their power.
“In addition, many third and fourth-rank Demon Beasts are approaching. If I get entangled with even one of the beasts, I will immediately be besieged by a group of high-rank Demon Beasts.”
“Although my power is stronger than any individual beast, I can’t resist their sheer numbers. Once I’m entangled, I’ll be shredded by the surrounding Demon Beasts.”
This is the terror of the battlefield. Without overwhelming power and endurance, one could be entrapped in a heavy siege, making escape nearly impossible.
A large group of monsters rushed forward, and if not for the reliance on his sensory domain, he would have already evaded the Demon Race’s great army.
“Kill!”
Although Lu Yun was somewhat apprehensive, he was not afraid.
Compared to his peers, he was best at dealing with group attacks.
He even hoped more Demon Beasts would come to attack him; then he could use the least amount of Aura Origin to kill even more Demon Beasts.
“Everyone else, retreat quickly. I will stay and help Lu Yun.” Commander Xu tightly gripped his black spear, his face solemn, and yelled at the Black Tiger Army and the other Martial Artists behind him.
Only a Martial Artist in the Origin Fluid Realm like him could deal with a fifth-rank Demon Beast. If other Black Tiger Army soldiers were caught up in the fight, they would only be slaughtered..
