Silence.
As Hong and the Thunder God ventured into the maw of the Devourer Beast, an almost palpable tension seized the hearts of nearly every onlooker. Yet, none could pierce the veil of darkness shrouding the beast’s inner realm—what transpired within remained a mystery veiled in shadow.
“Barbata, can Hong and Thunder God win?” Luo Feng was anxious inside.
“Don’t worry. Hong and Thunder God are two of Earth’s greatest martial artists, and both are very smart and decisive! To deal with the ‘swallowing’ move, Hong directly created so many metal debris. He might have worried that the Golden-Horned Beast could swallow it all, so he even brought a bundle of hydrogen bombs! This ensured that the Golden-Horned Beast would dare not swallow.
“Hong used this opportunity to prepare his ultimate move! Obviously, that ultimate move requires time to build up and prepare.”
“When the enraged Golden-Horned Beast swiped away the metal debris with its hooves, Hong released his ultimate move! It was a perfect chain of events. Very impressive,” Barbata sighed. “Luo Feng, rest assured. Judging from their performance from start to finish, they were clearly well-prepared! Now that they are inside the Golden-Horned Beast, it cannot attack with its hooves or anything else, so the success rate has increased to about fifty or sixty percent.”
Hearing these words from Barbata, how could Luo Feng feel reassured?
He couldn’t be reassured at all!
Luo Feng kept staring at the screen.
“The Golden-Horned Beast is, after all, one of the most elite bloodlines among the star beasts. And yet, it allowed Hong and Thunder God the chance to pierce its scales and enter its body. It’s just… too naive. Its combat techniques are truly too poor,” Barbata couldn’t help but comment. “Looking at its previous battles, it relied solely on brute strength.”
Indeed, with the Golden-Horned Beast’s power and talent, if it had just a bit more skill or intelligence, it wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
“If it were even stronger, we would have even less hope,” Luo Feng thought with some dissatisfaction.
“That’s not what I meant. I think this Golden-Horned Beast must be very young, just entering its growth phase. It might be so young that it lacks experience. Its attack methods are so simple and crude,” Barbata explained.
Its body and natural talents were innate.
But experience, skill, mentality, and cunning are things that must be cultivated over time. Even someone as intelligent as Einstein or as wise as Sun Tzu from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was ‘naive’ as an infant. If this Golden-Horned Beast were allowed to grow for ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years, it would become terrifying.
But now?
It was still very young! However, even this young Golden-Horned Beast had nearly driven humanity to collapse.
…
Above the Pacific Ocean.
“Wu——”
“Wu!!!”
The Golden-Horned Beast roared in pain and fury. Hissing sounds filled the air as golden lights spread across its scaly surface, occasionally penetrating into its body, attempting to kill the two annoying humans inside.
Clearly,
since the battlefield was inside the Golden-Horned Beast, it couldn’t recklessly unleash its golden lights, otherwise it would be self-mutilation or suicide.
“Boom~~”
The Golden-Horned Beast’s entire body suddenly shook. Its dark golden eyes contained a hint of pain and fury, and bright red blood spilled from its mouth.
“Boom~~”
The strange tremors caused the Golden-Horned Beast to raise its head in pain and let out a furious roar. Blood droplets seeped from the gaps between its overlapping scales.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Amidst the painful screeches, blood droplets oozed from the Golden-Horned Beast’s scales. Within about ten seconds, its entire body was covered in blood. At first, it was still roaring in pain, but then the roars gradually weakened, and finally, it stopped making any sound. Suddenly—
its dark golden eyes dimmed, its massive scaly wings drooped, and its huge body began to fall helplessly downward!
…
On street-side screens in China, on home televisions, and in military barracks…
“The life signs are weakening!”
“The Golden-Horned Beast’s massive life force is rapidly weakening—now at eighty percent, seventy percent, sixty percent, fifty percent, forty percent, thirty percent…” An excited voice echoed throughout China, and not only China, but the entire world was in unprecedented excitement.
“We won!”
“We did it!”
“We are victorious!”
Voices filled with excitement and even tears arose. At that moment, people all over the world, regardless of gender, age, race, or country, erupted into cheers.
…
Inside the martial arts hall of the Limit Guild in Yangzhou City, it was in an uproar!
Everyone was shouting excitedly.
“It’s done! The life signs have disappeared!” Luo Feng looked at the screen, at the Golden-Horned Beast’s blood-soaked corpse falling lifelessly, and was overwhelmed with excitement.
It had died!
This terrifying monster that had almost driven humanity to despair was finally dead! Oh my god! At this moment, Luo Feng couldn’t even believe that happiness had come so suddenly.
“What about Hong and Thunder God?” Luo Feng stared intently at the screen.
The live broadcast voice announced: “To everyone on Earth, we must inform you of a sorrowful message. We can no longer detect any life signs. In other words… although the Golden-Horned Beast is dead, our planet’s two most powerful martial artists, the two Guild Masters ‘Hong’ and ‘Thunder God,’ have sacrificed their lives! They are heroes, heroes who saved the entire world!”
Silence.
The martial arts hall quickly grew quiet.
“They may not be dead,” Barbata’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s mind.
“Not dead? But we can’t detect any life signs!” Luo Feng felt a flicker of excitement and hope in his heart.
He didn’t want Hong and Thunder God to die like this either.
“No, the life sign detector your planet obtained comes from the ruins of a starship fleet! This detector actually has a detection range. When life signs fall below a certain threshold, the detector can no longer detect them. Plus, the quality of the device has greatly deteriorated. I estimate that if life signs drop below the level of a beginning apprentice martial artist, it can’t detect them anymore,” Barbata explained.
“No!”
A terrified voice cried out in the martial arts hall. “That… the Golden-Horned Beast has stopped falling.”
Luo Feng was stunned, as were Xu Xin and everyone else.
Luo Feng quickly looked at the screen. Indeed, the Golden-Horned Beast’s corpse, which had been helplessly falling, had stopped and was now floating in place. And on the screen… the Golden-Horned Beast had regained life signs.
“The Golden-Horned Beast’s life signs are growing stronger!” The live announcer’s voice was filled with shock.
Everyone was stunned.
“How… how…” Luo Feng stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
How could it be so hard to kill?
So many sacrifices had been made! How could this Golden-Horned Beast still be alive!!!
The Golden-Horned Beast floated in midair, its life signs continuously growing stronger and stronger… returning to ten percent of its original strength, continuing to rise, twenty percent, until it reached thirty percent! When its life force reached about thirty percent, it stopped increasing.
…
Countless people on Earth fell into despair! Countless people wept silently! Countless people knelt down in pain!
Oh my god!
…
Above the Pacific Ocean.
The Golden-Horned Beast slowly opened its eyes. Its dark golden pupils were now dim and weak… It had never been this close to death before! This time was even scarier than the previous B6-level laser cannon attack.
“Wu.” A low, weak roar.
The Golden-Horned Beast looked at its own abdomen.
There, the blood-stained black-clothed man and the blood-stained white-clothed man slid out from the bloody hole in its belly and fell directly toward the ocean below. The Golden-Horned Beast looked at these two… these two seemingly insignificant humans had brought it so close to death. This loss taught it a lesson!
Even against seemingly weak opponents, one must give their all!
“Hu.” The Golden-Horned Beast swung its hoof!
Hua!
On the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a silver-white humanoid figure stood. Suddenly, its entire body began to swell! From about two meters tall, it instantly expanded to two hundred meters tall!
A two-hundred-meter-tall silver-white giant! About the same size as the Golden-Horned Beast!
“Wu!” The Golden-Horned Beast was greatly surprised, looking down at the silver-white giant.
On the surface of the silver-white giant’s body, it seemed as if silver liquid was flowing. Suddenly appearing, it directly extended its huge hand, blocking between Hong, Thunder God, and the Golden-Horned Beast!
“Phooey!” The hoof struck the palm, and the palm was actually dented. But when the Golden-Horned Beast retracted its hoof, the dent automatically repaired itself.
…
When a silver-white giant blocked the Golden-Horned Beast, another silver figure with both hands respectively holding Hong and Thunder God quickly fled into the distance.
There were two Liquid Silver Guards!
They had been arranged earlier by Luo Feng through Barbata, with the opportunity to rescue Hong and Thunder God!
“Wu!”
The enraged Golden-Horned Beast, how could it allow the two humans it hated most to be taken away? With a flap of its wings, it lightning-fast bypassed the Liquid Silver Guard blocking it and chased after the other one… In terms of speed, the Golden-Horned Beast was indeed very fast. The Liquid Silver Guard could run at over ten thousand meters per second.
The Golden-Horned Beast quickly caught up!
“Hu!” The fleeing Liquid Silver Guard suddenly expanded, turning into a giant silver giant that instantly wrapped around the Golden-Horned Beast.
Meanwhile, the other following Liquid Silver Guard quickly picked up Hong and Thunder God and continued to run!
…
After quite some time, the Golden-Horned Beast finally broke free.
“Wu!” The Golden-Horned Beast angrily looked down at the Liquid Silver Guard below, which had shrunk back to normal human size. This strange creature, although slower than it and its attacks weaker than the black-clothed and white-clothed men, had one unique advantage—it was like liquid, capable of rapidly expanding and sticking to people like chewing gum.
No matter how strong the attack, the Liquid Silver Guard could absorb it.
The Golden-Horned Beast understood…
With the two Liquid Silver Guards working together, it really had no chance of reclaiming those two human bodies.
“Wu!”
Now in a severely weakened state from its injuries, the Golden-Horned Beast merely let out an angry low growl before directly diving into the ocean.
…
In the corridor outside the martial arts hall of the Limit Guild at Moonlight Residential Complex, Luo Feng held a phone.
Luo Feng’s face was pale.
“Yes, they were the ones I sent. It’s useless. The Liquid Silver Guards can only entangle people and serve as bodyguards. They can’t kill the Golden-Horned Beast.” Luo Feng hung up the call with Jia Yi, his heart filled with pain. Others were shocked by the appearance of the two Liquid Silver Guards and even felt a glimmer of hope.
But Luo Feng knew clearly.
As a product of advanced cosmic technology, the Liquid Silver Guards had a very clear role—it was purely for protection.
“What should I do? What should I do? Tell me, Barbata, what should I do?” Luo Feng was on the verge of madness, painfully closing his eyes, with a glimmer of moisture at the corner of his eyes.
