Upon seeing this, Lu Wu opened its mouth and inhaled, pulling Duanmu Sheng to it.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Wu had lost more than half of its strength so it was not wise to continue fighting.
Just as Lu Wu was about to leave, Xu Zhongxia smiled. “I’ve been waiting for this…”
After sending out a signal, Xu Zhongxia tossed out several talismans.
The cultivators in the surroundings hurriedly activated the formation. All of them held a piece of formation cloth in their hands. At this time, the inscriptions on the pieces of cloth were glowing.
The clouds in the sky parted as grid walls appeared around them.
Lu Wu paid no attention to them and rushed out.
Boom!
One of the grid walls caved in, causing a few cultivators to vomit blood as they were sent flying back.
Cao Zechun waved his staff again. A wave of green energy shrouded the injured, quickly healing them.
Ye Wusheng was shocked. This was the strength of the monster hunting squad. They were not strong individually, but they made up for it with their almost flawless teamwork. With the super healer leading them, even if Lu Wu was not injured, it would be impossible for it to fight when its attackers kept getting healed.
The healed cultivators thanked Cao Zechun. “Thank you, Boss!”
Cao Zechun smiled. “Continue to attack!”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Almost 40 green astrolabes appeared at this moment.
Fu Ruandong, who had also manifested her astrolabe, released energy arrows in a frenzy.
Boom!
Since all of Fu Ruandong’s energy arrows were concentrated on one spot on Lu Wu’s body, Lu Wu was momentarily distracted and fell and landed on the three mountains as a result.
Upon seeing this Xu Zhongxia was overjoyed. He cried out excitedly, “Seal!”
The 40 cultivators moved. The pieces of cloth in their hands glowed with a green light before the area within several thousand meters fell into darkness.
Ye Wusheng exclaimed in surprise, “The Dark Sky Demonic Formation?!”
“You have a good eye,” Cao Zechun said.
The defenses of the Dark Sky Demonic Formation was not strong, but it could seal an area for a time. Darkness would descend in the sealed area, causing one to lose one’s senses. One would lose one’s vision, directions, and the ability to sense auras.
Cao Zechun said loudly, “Lu Wu, you won’t be able to find your way out of this formation.”
Lu Wu roared angrily in response. Its soundwave shook the entire place.
Cao Zechun sneered. “You’re just a cornered beast. I want to see how long you can hold on. Everyone, attack with all your might!”
“Yes, Boss!”
The cultivators outside of the formation began to attack without restraints. Energy swords, energy sabers, palm seals, and various attacks were all launched into the formation.
Lu Wu had lost its senses in the formation. It could only rely on its powerful defenses to withstand the onslaught of attacks.
After an hour of endless attacks, Lu Wu still remained standing. Not only that, but it was still looking for a chance to break the formation.
Fu Ruandong, who was hovering in the sky, smirked when she saw Duanmu Sheng, whom Lu Wu had addressed as Young Master, between Lu Wu’s mouth. She smiled and said, “Little Lu Wu, I’ll deal with your Young Master first.”
An energy arrow shot out like a shooting star, drawing a line of light in the darkness of the formation.
Lu Wu lowered its head and hurriedly spat Duanmu Sheng out. This move caused the energy arrow to strike its chin.
Boom!
Lu Wu staggered back in pain.
“Hmm? You have an old injury there? You’re really unlucky.” Fuan Ruandong’s speed increased as she continued to release energy arrows into the formation.
From Lu Wu’s point of view, it was dark and it could not see where the attacks were coming from at all.
From Cao Zechun’s point of view, he saw his people surrounding the formation and attacking. Clearly, he had the advantage.
Fu Ruandong’s energy arrows forced Lu Wu to keep retreating. “Young Master!”
Fu Ruandong spun around and shot at Duanmu Sheng.
Swoosh!
Just as the energy arrow was about to land, Duanmu Sheng’s eyes suddenly snapped open. His eyes shone brightly, and he seemed like a different person now. The purple dragons on his wrists had grown larger now and twined themselves around his arms.
Bang!
The Overlord Spear flew over and blocked the energy arrow.
“Kill!” Duanmu Sheng stomped on the ground and flew up to where the formation’s boundary was.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wisps of purple energy surged out from Duanmu Sheng’s arms and shrouded the Overlord Spear as he attacked like a storm.
“He’s possessed?!” Cao Zechun exclaimed in shock.
“This kid isn’t simple!” Xu Zhongxia said with a frown, “Boss, I suggest we get rid of him first.”
Cao Zechun said, “Fourth Sister, focus on him. Second Brother, reinforce the Dark Sky Demonic Formation. Everyone else, continue to attack! Lu Wu’s already injured. This is our best chance! Don’t let your guards down!”
“Yes, Boss!” Everyone replied in unison.
This was the monster hunting squad’s first time dealing with a beast emperor. Moreover, it was an injured beast emperor. They were all excited, and their fighting spirits were soaring.
Fu Ruandong, the Godly Archer, attacked Duanmu Sheng in a frenzy.
Duanmu Sheng brandished the Overlord Spear and deflected the energy arrows.
Fu Ruandong smirked. “Let’s see how long you’ll last…”
With that, her speed doubled when she released her energy arrows.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Since Duanmu Sheng’s cultivation was too weak, it was inevitable that he was suppressed.
Boom!
Duanmu Sheng crashed to the ground, bleeding everywhere.
Lu Wu was not any better. Its fur was messed up. Faced with the continuous unrestrained attacks, its anger began to bubble and rise. Its pain spurred it on, and the rising sense of danger made it decide to counterattack. It roared, “Lowly reptiles… Shameless… humans… This emperor will… take your lives!”
Lu Wu stood in the darkness as its nine tails that turned from black to green fanned out, looking like a peacock opening its tail. Green horns grew on its head, and its two fangs grew hundreds of feet long. Following that, a vast and indescribably cold energy rippled out in all directions.
Boom!
Faced with the cold energy, the Dark Sky Demonic Formation was like a piece of paper. It shattered immediately.
The energy continued to roll out, pulverizing the three mountains.
The fierce beasts rushing over from all directions were killed instantly.
Ye Wusheng, Ye Cheng, and all the members of the monster hunting squad were sent flying, spitting out blood.
“No!”
“Impossible!”
Thousand Realms Whirling avatars appeared one after another before shrinking and disappearing.
Screams, muffled groans, and cries of despair rang in the air.
With just one move, everyone lost their Birth Charts.
…
Everything quieted down. There was no place within a few thousand meters that was untouched. The three mountains were flattened. The entire place was like a wasteland.
It was rare for there to be peace in the Unknown Land. In fact, there were times when Lu Wu could not help but think if it was necessary to fight to the death? Why must humans force it to this extent? The world was vast, but it could not help but wonder if there was a place for him.
Lu Wu’s tails slowly drooped. After releasing this ultimate move, it looked as though it had aged by 30%. Its eyelids were drooping as well. Nevertheless, it mustered up all its strength and strode toward Duanmu Sheng before it sat next to Duanmu Sheng. Then, it lowered its head flat on the ground with its nostril facing him. It released heatwaves against Duanmu Sheng, keeping Duanmu Sheng warm.
Lu Wu said weakly, “This emperor… is… tired…”
Following that, Lu Wu closed it eyes, breathing slowly.
