Although this was Fang Lin Kong's first time in the city and he had no relatives or friends here, witnessing the reckless battles and the destruction of buildings on the ground, along with the affected crowd, filled him with anger.
"Don't these monsters have any sense of restraint? Why are they so reckless?"
The girl beside him had opened her phone, seemingly in a hurry to explain the situation to someone, and didn't have time to answer Fang Lin Kong's question. However, she still managed to say, "Speaking of recklessness, you should check the news on NetEase; there’s plenty more outrageous stuff going on."
Fang Lin Kong knelt angrily on the ground, his hands gripping the concrete rooftop so tightly that he had created a hole the size of a bowl. The hard concrete crumbled into fine dust between his fingers. Fang Lin Kong truly felt helpless; he couldn't fly, and attacking these monsters with Grass-Soaring Treasure would only make things more chaotic and lead to greater casualties.
"Don't worry; our brothers from Kunlun will be here soon to put a stop to this."
"Kunlun?"
It was only then that Fang Lin Kong snapped out of his anxiety and took a serious look at the girl. From his position, he could see her white Adidas sneakers, light-colored cowboy pants that accentuated her perfect thighs and hips, and a snug little t-shirt. Her bright, stunning face was framed by soft short hair that just reached her collar, making her look lively and charming.
Although the girl appeared calm, Fang Lin Kong could sense the tension beneath that calmness. Even her small hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly.
Earlier, Fang Lin Kong had harbored resentment for not being able to stop this bloody battle himself. However, he now realized that relying on one person alone was futile in such a large-scale melee.
Yet he was curious about Kunlun; he had heard of it before and even encountered a Kunlun disciple named Eastern Thunder. Thinking of this made Fang Lin Kong feel somewhat guilty.
"Given your strength, you can't be a novice, right? You must know about our Shenzhou's top sect, Kunlun? By the way, I haven't asked where you're from. Why do you carry so many magical artifacts? These days, it's quite common to use Psycho Weapons, but traditional artifacts are rare."
“Fang Lin Kong” forced a smile, stammering, “How could I not know what ‘Kunlun’ is? I’m just curious about how you ended up there.”
The girl raised her head proudly and said clearly, “I am ‘Lin Yu,’ the nineteenth generation disciple of the ‘Kunlun Sect’! What about your sect?”
“Fang Lin Kong” rubbed his nose and replied softly, “I don’t belong to any sect. Instead of discussing this, we should think about how to silence those people!”
“Lin Yu” shook her head and said, “These monsters are here to expand the influence of the ‘International Demon Alliance.’ The elders of ‘Kunlun’ are still in discussions and haven’t made a decision yet. Besides, our manpower is insufficient, and we need to contact other sects. It will take time before we can launch an effective counterattack.”
At that moment, “Ganesha” suddenly unleashed his power with a loud roar, accelerating towards one of the monsters surrounding him. With a single punch, he sent the creature flying into a nearby residential building. As the structure collapsed and walls cracked, “Fang Lin Kong” witnessed a housewife cooking at home being struck by the falling debris. Blood quickly flowed from beneath the bricks and cement, staining a large area red.
“Lin Yu! Are you not ready yet? Why hasn’t anyone come? Is your ‘Kunlun’ efficiency worse than that of the government?”
“Fang Lin Kong” felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. He activated his spiritual technique, and two beams of azure lightning shot out from his sides. After observing for a while, he noticed that “Lin Ming-Tang” and his companions were careful in their attacks, avoiding actions that would harm human structures below. In contrast, “Ganesha” seemed indifferent to the lives of humans in this country, showing no regard for them. Thus, the “Liexie Twin Hooks” were unleashed with the intent to strike at this Indian member of the “Elephant God Clan.”
Although “Ganesha” was ruthless in his killings and looked down on others, his years of combat experience had been accumulated through life-and-death battles. When the “Liexie Twin Hooks” struck at the image of a giant elephant he conjured, the air currents and electric energy allowed him to sense it just in time. He quickly channeled his “Divine Ability,” causing a massive elephant figure to expand like a balloon around him, forming a solid barrier.
The “Liexie Twin Hooks” collided with the elephant figure, creating a hissing sound as their energies clashed. Even “Lin Ming-Tang” and his group found it hard to withstand the immense force generated by this confrontation and were forced to retreat further away.
In a direct confrontation, “Fang Lin Kong” would be killed by “Ganesha” within three moves. However, in this pure contest of strength, “Ganesha” found himself at a disadvantage. While “Fang Lin Kong’s” understanding of combat was minimal, his grasp of the essence of power surpassed that of anyone present. His mental state had been modified by his future self to approach perfection. His comprehension of pure energy was far beyond that of “Ganesha.”
The two streams of sizzling electricity twisted rapidly in an instant. The protective elephant energy surrounding “Ganesha” could only hold for a moment before being shredded apart by the incoming attack. The descending “Liexie Twin Hooks” left him with no choice; he swung both fists with all his might, gathering demonic energy infused with intense heat. After an earth-shattering explosion, caught off guard and lacking sufficient power to gather due to haste, “Ganesha,” who hadn’t managed to use his “Divine Ability,” was struck by “Fang Lin Kong’s” blow and sent flying like an unstoppable meteor into the clouds above.
After executing such an exhausting move, “Fang Lin Kong” couldn’t help but kneel down slightly, gasping for breath. The onlookers suspended their fighting in shock at such an astonishing scene. Meanwhile, “Lin Yu” jumped up in excitement and exclaimed, “Wow! You’re amazing! Do you know who that big fat guy is? He’s ranked seventy-fourth among experts in the ‘International Demon Alliance!’ Even several of our strongest senior brothers from ‘Kunlun’ can’t match him; only my master’s generation can reliably defeat him!”
Since saving Fang Lin Kong, Lin Yu had been feeling strange about the boy. She had noticed the battle between the Six-Eyed Celestial Wolf and the White Whale Born, which prompted her to see what was happening. Fang Lin Kong appeared to be quite talented, yet he seemed dazed and completely clueless. Therefore, Lin Yu regarded Fang Lin Kong as a lucky novice with considerable strength but lacking experience.
The International Demon Alliance was a powerful force, and the Chinese Taoist Sect did not dare to offend them directly. Thus, when Lin Yu witnessed the fierce battle between both sides, she hesitated to intervene. Even if she wanted to, her own strength would not make much of a difference. Just moments ago, Fang Lin Kong had recklessly jumped into action, startling Lin Yu, who was about to stop his impulsiveness. However, she was astonished to discover that this boy's abilities were truly profound and unexpected.
At this moment, Fang Lin Kong felt a twinge of regret. By acting so rashly, he had drawn the conflict toward himself. He could have observed the fight for a long time and understood the gap between himself and the others.
"Hey! What should we do next? Should we make a run for it or apologize and say I slipped up and attacked the wrong person?"
