Translator: 549690339
The battle between Lu Yun and the Golden Hou Beast even surpassed that between the Green-Scaled Giant Eagle and Yu Yuanzhi.
The Green-Scaled Giant Eagle was a Fifth Rank peak demon beast, while Yu Yuanzhi was at the peak of the Origin Fluid Realm. Their realms were stronger than those of the Golden Hou Beast and Lu Yun, but they seemed to pale in comparison at this moment.
Such a formidable human and beast duo struck terror into the hearts of all the demon beasts and human martial artists present.
Compared to the unmatched power of the Golden Hou Beast with its True Roar bloodline, what surprised them more was that tiny figure. How could someone with only the peak of the Transforming Origin Realm possess such immense power and strength, managing to hold their own against the formidable Golden Hou Beast without falling short?
Even more, he might actually be pulling ahead.
They could see that Lu Yun was deliberately drawing the fight into the midst of the demon beast crowd. To be able to pull off such a move while facing the powerful Golden Hou Beast was undeniably a way for him to use the beast to eliminate the living force of the demon beasts.
“The Golden Hou Beast has gone mad, we need to run away quickly.”
“Where can we run? That human is always following us, and he’s much faster than us.”
The demon beasts were terrified and fled in all directions, no longer caring about attacking the city.
Compared to their lives, what else mattered?
Boom!
Another huge collision between Lu Yun and the Golden Hou Beast caused golden light to ripple like ten thousand suns, covering the sky and crushing everything in its path. Countless demon beasts were swept up, and their wails were particularly miserable.
This scene only intensified the demon beasts’ desire to flee, causing them to scatter even more.
No more demon beasts charged up the city walls, greatly reducing the pressure on the defenders like Wang Yinghu.
“Golden Hou Beast, stop entangling with that human, follow me and first capture this city.” Seeing that the situation was going awry, the distant Pig Monster urgently sent a message: “After capturing this city, I will join forces with you to besiege that human, and you alone can enjoy his flesh.”
“I can solve this by myself.” The Golden Hou Beast had gone completely mad and ignored the Pig Monster’s message.
The reason it had joined the demon beast army in invading human territory was to devour human flesh and seek a breakthrough.
Now, if it could just slay this human and consume his flesh and blood, it would be able to advance.
How could it possibly let such a good opportunity slip away?
Moreover, joining forces with the Pig Monster would mean giving up half of its gains, which it would never agree to.
Clang!
The demon energy-infused, glistening golden claws collided with the long knife, occasionally emitting dazzling light. The Golden Hou Beast opened its mouth and spat out golden light, transforming it into nine colossal golden swords that constantly slashed down.
These were a terrifying set of treasures, nine in total, shaped like teeth but as sharp as giant swords, emitting brilliant radiance.
Lu Yun could feel that the hardness and sharpness of any of these items were greater than that of the White Scale Purple Gold Knife in his hand.
The White Scale Purple Gold Knife was a Superior True Artifact, and these nine tooth-like treasures were at least at the level of Mysterious Instruments.
Such a measly Golden Hou Beast possessed such treasures, which left Lu Yun both astonished and envious.
At the same time, his determination to kill his opponent and seize the treasures only became stronger.
He had already reached the peak of the Transforming Origin Realm, with a combat strength comparable to the peak of the Origin Fluid Realm, and the White Scale Purple Gold Knife’s effectiveness in his hands was diminishing. If he could obtain a more powerful weapon, his strength would increase even further.
Lu Yun coveted the Golden Hou Beast’s treasures.
The Golden Hou Beast, on the other hand, coveted Lu Yun’s flesh.
With their own intentions, both human and beast engaged in a fierce battle.
Obviously, neither of them could bring the other down in the short term.
“Hiss!”
The nine colossal golden swords swooped through the air, enlarged to more than a dozen lengths, emitting a dazzling golden light. They slashed down from nine different directions, and despite Lu Yun’s incredibly fast movements, they nearly grazed his scalp, cutting off a few strands of hair. The blood-soaked ground was left with nine terrifying crisscrossing trenches.
“What a powerful treasure, I must have it!” Looking at the razor-sharp, brilliantly shining treasures, Lu Yun was astonished, sparing no effort. His body was surrounded by flashing thunder, and a sea of blood raged as the long knife in his hand extended dozens of feet into a blinding blade light, slicing through heaven and earth.
“Clang!”
The blade light fell on the giant golden tooth-like treasures, producing a sky-shattering noise, like metal striking stone or thunder roaring, causing the surrounding demon beasts to tremble in fear.
Lu Yun had finally met his match, as even fully unleashing his Third Rank Slaughter Conception and the formidable Pure Yang Strong Origin couldn’t suppress the Golden Hou Beast.
The Golden Hou Beast’s strength and bloodline were indeed terrifying, and coupled with this unrivaled set of attack treasures, it fought Lu Yun fiercely, kicking up a storm. The entire battlefield trembled, and even the massive city wall, resembling a crouching beast, shook.
“It’s too terrifying. Both the Golden Hou Beast and that human youngster’s strengths are close to the Sixth Rank and Sixth Realm. We need to run even further away.”
“Roar!” The beasts roared in unison, fleeing in terror.
Bang!
A strand of golden light landed with a loud crash, instantly killing more than a dozen demon beasts with the giant golden sword.
After dodging the earth-slicing colossal golden sword, Lu Yun’s figure flickered, bringing thunder along with him as he approached the Golden Hou Beast’s rear.
Boom!
Another blade light several dozen feet long fell, and the Golden Hou Beast roared. Soundwaves surged like an ocean, spreading out and crushing everything in their path. Its entire body was covered in golden light, shielding its monstrous form as a golden sword flew back, fending off the descending knife.
Lu Yun had already achieved his first goal, and now there was only one target left: to snatch the opponent’s treasures. So, he fought even more fiercely and diligently than before, concentrating fully on the battle at hand..
