Chapter 054: Loulan City
The shadows of fists filled the air, striking the abdomen and neck of the Golden Rhino. Suddenly, numerous dents appeared on the Golden Rhino's body, as if its bones were breaking. Yang Chen watched curiously, knowing that his intervention would not be very effective at this point. It was better to observe a bit longer; the climax of their cooperation was about to come, with aggressive techniques in the next round.
Sure enough, "Drunken Awakening Style!"
"Tearing Sky Fist!" The Golden Rhino slowly opened its eyes, filled with confusion. Immediately after, Zhang Tian's illusionary Tearing Sky Fist, represented by two fists, struck fiercely on the Golden Rhino's front hooves, transforming into palms that tightly grasped the Golden Rhino's front hooves and pulled them apart.
"Drunken Sword Style!" Zhao Yu shouted angrily as he staggered toward the Golden Rhino. He appeared to be stumbling, but his speed was not slow. He slowly thrust a sword into the Golden Rhino's neck, penetrating halfway. The Golden Rhino thrashed wildly, trying to shake off Zhang Tian's Tearing Sky Fist's grip.
"Dancing Sword Style!" Zhao Yu forcefully pulled out the Silver Longsword embedded in the Golden Rhino's body and then executed a horizontal slash filled with sword energy across the Golden Rhino's neck, sending it sprawling.
"Fists united, Hate the Heavens Fist." Under Zhang Tian's command, two massive fists merged into one larger fist and struck down hard on the fallen Golden Rhino. Although the Golden Rhino had been restrained by Zhao Yu for only a short time, the wounds it bore showed that Zhao Yu and Zhang Tian had coordinated well and demonstrated proficiency in their combat techniques.
Seeing this, Yang Chen knew it was time to act. He roared, "Zhang Tian, Tearing Sky Fist! Zhao Yu, Dancing Sword Style! Death Gaze! Cross Quivering Sword Style!"
The united fists of Hate the Heavens Fist struck again at the Golden Rhino's abdomen before splitting back into two fists. Transforming into Tearing Hands that firmly grasped the Golden Rhino's front legs, Yang Chen then closed his left eye while his right eye emitted a gray light that shone into the Golden Rhino's eyes. He then seized the Dragonweave Sword embedded in the ground and launched an attack.
Zhao Yu also unleashed his strongest technique available—Dancing Sword Style! After a one-second pause for Death Gaze, the frantically struggling Golden Rhino remained trapped by the Tearing Hands and was ultimately decapitated by Zhao Yu, leaving a cross-shaped wound on its neck! After slaying the Golden Rhino, Yang Chen immediately stored it in his spatial ring while also preventing Nine-Pointed Star from absorbing its life force and Death Qi. Killing the Golden Rhino seemed simple but had exhausted all three of them significantly.
"Let's go hunt other rhinos and absorb their Life Essence to help our Brothers advance," Yang Chen said. Looking at his exhausted companions, he retrieved a large amount of Life Essence from Nine-Pointed Star to pass on to them, aiding their recovery of Fighting Spirit.
Without the Golden Rhino, everyone was careful when hunting rhinos, so there would be no danger to their lives. Yang Chen casually retrieved the Dragon Lure Sword, allowing the Shadow Kill team to truly experience the real level of the demon beasts.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but hundreds of rhinos had perished at the hands of the Shadow Kill team. Gathering all the demon beast bodies, Yang Chen first transmitted life essence to those at the Great Perfection stage of the Dou Master realm. Once they advanced to the Dou Spirit realm, he would then pass it on to the Nine Star Dou Masters. Although some received only a small amount of life essence, it was still beneficial for recovering their Dou Qi. The group moved like locusts, hunting demon beasts without any significant danger. After three months of sporadic hunting, countless demon beasts had died at Yang Chen's hands, and his growth value had already reached over 130,000.
(Assisting in kills also counts towards growth value. Assisting in kills is counted quite generously; for example, even if Yang Chen was far away during a kill by Not Falling the Imperial Flag, he would still gain growth value. Similarly, Yang Chen remained the second vice-captain of Crimson Tooth Yongbing team.) As for this growth value, the system still hadn't explained what it was about, but it posed no harm to Yang Chen.
When the last member of the Shadow Kill Yongbing team advanced to the Dou Spirit realm, Yang Chen issued a return to town order. Over these three months, Zhao Yu and Zhang Tian had both advanced to the Dou Wang realm. Li Qi and Liu Tao had also reached Great Perfection in the Dou Spirit realm; with just one moment of enlightenment, they could advance to Dou Wang. Whether this enlightenment came from life and death or from their journeys depended on individual comprehension.
A month ago, Yang Chen had already advanced to the Dou Spirit realm and was now a Three Star Dou Spirit. Advancing a realm in three months was a speed that others could hardly imagine; even members of the Shadow Kill Yongbing team called Yang Chen a freak. Indeed, when 《Demon God Strategy》 advanced to its fourth transformation, Yang Chen comprehended a new skill: Ghostly Roar.
“Ghostly Roar (Ultimate State): The nearly insane Demon God roars angrily at the sky. Using its own soul to launch a soul attack, those two realms below its own will die instantly. Those two realms above are unaffected. Those one realm below have their soul power weakened by 80%. Those at the same realm have their soul power weakened by 50%. Those one realm above have their soul power weakened by 30%.”
After traveling for a day, everyone finally returned to Loulan City. A thousand meters away, Zhan Tao approached Yang Chen and said, “Chief, there are descendants of the Divine Heir in Loulan City.”
“Oh? How did they end up here? Wasn't it said they were in other territories? How many came?” Yang Chen asked.
“Six. They are from the younger generation and do not include any from the previous generation's Divine Heir,” Zhan Tao replied.
“Regardless, we need to return to Loulan City, right? Let's go; I think they might bring us surprises! Xiao Tian, let's move,” Yang Chen instructed as he focused intently ahead. Now Xiao Tian and Jin Zi were both Fourth Stage Three Star demon beasts; however, no matter how one looked at them, they did not resemble Fourth Stage demon beasts at all.
Jin Zi still looked large and harmless. As for Xiao Tian, although its size had increased significantly, it lacked any offensive power. If asked to confront a Third Stage demon beast, it would likely be unable to compete. The only role Xiao Tian played was as a mount. At this point, Yang Chen had given up hope regarding these two mutated demon beasts and no longer cared about them.
Inside Loulan City, all six gathered together.
"I can sense the breath of war. Let's go, we will leave the city." Longxin said calmly, "Let's go out and meet this so-called Chosen One."
(I wrote this novel with the idea that high-level beings won't appear in remote areas, allowing the protagonist to carve out a space in the early stages, then expand further in the mid-stages, and once again in the later stages. I find it amusing—why wouldn't powerful figures appear in small regions? Even the chairman goes to rural areas. Not to mention that the chairman visits, but the provincial governor surely does too. If not the provincial governor, then at least the city party secretary would. Therefore, the development of this novel follows this logic. I will introduce peak powerhouses from the beginning, but they won't assist the protagonist. The protagonist's cultivation will progress somewhat faster, but that's just in the early stages. It's like playing an online game; reaching level 100 is peak, and it's always easier to level up in the early game than in the late game. This novel is similar. The climax should occur after the protagonist becomes a Battle Emperor. However, there will still be many smaller climaxes in the early stages. I hope you all enjoy this novel.)
