After all, it could also possibly track its enemies using other methods!
But he quickly realized that he was worrying too much.
Without its head, the monster, though not dead, was like a blind man, unable to locate him, and resorted to wielding its battle axe wildly.
Guo Zheng’s sense of crisis greatly diminished, and he quietly let out a sigh of relief, his movements inevitably slowing down a bit since going all out also took a lot out of him.
But just as Guo Zheng had slowed down, the Eater God suddenly erupted, stretching out its left hand at an increased speed and, with a snap, grabbed Guo Zheng’s left leg.
“Fuck!” Original content can be found at nοvelfire.net
No sooner had Guo Zheng uttered the syllable than he was viciously slammed to the ground.
Guo Zheng’s head struck the floor directly, immediately splitting open, and his face was covered in blood.
Just as Xia Hongyao was about to ask Lin Baici if he needed help, Lin Baici was already sprinting forward, charging towards the deer platform while at the same time throwing his sword with his left hand.
The Dragon Tooth, released from his grip, left a trail of bronze in its wake, streaking towards the Eater God like a meteor cutting through the summer night sky.
Xia Hongyao didn’t think twice, immediately following suit.
Dagger in hand, her figure was swift as an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Hongyao was already by Lin Baici’s side.
In sheer physical capability, this high ponytailed girl, who had swallowed a Meteorite at the age of five, was far stronger than Lin Baici.
Guo Zheng’s eyes were blurred with blood, and he could vaguely see the battle axe coming down, feeling the fierce wind rushing towards him.
Enduring the pain all over his body, he tried to dodge with all his might, but couldn’t break free because his left leg was grabbed.
As the Bronze Sword pierced the Eater God’s left chest and went straight through, the monster’s battle axe also came chopping down.
A spray of blood burst forth,
and Guo Zheng’s left leg was severed.
Guo Zheng cursed loudly, quickly rolling away.
He knew that if it weren’t for Lin Baici’s sword piercing the Eater God’s heart, the monster would not have missed and would have chopped off his head with precision.
Lin Baici pushed off the ground forcefully with his right foot and leapt into the air.
At the same time, he stretched out his arm as if plucking stars from the sky.
Lin Baici caught the Dragon Tooth, ready for another throw to completely end the monster, but Xia Hongyao arrived.
Like a swallow skimming the water, she flitted past the Eater God.
However, Xia Hongyao did not strike, because the Eater God was already dead.
was its vulnerability.
The Eater God fell backward to the ground with a solid thump.
“God Lin, well done!”
Guo Zheng praised enthusiastically.
The timing of Lin Baici’s intervention was exquisitely perfect.
A second earlier, the monster might have abandoned trying to chop him down to block the flying sword; a second later, he would have been dead.
That was a small loss already.
And to be honest, Guo Zheng knew the biggest mistake was his own complacency.
As for blaming Lin Baici for taking advantage of the situation?
If he really wanted to take advantage, he could have waited until Guo Zheng and the monster were both devastated before swooping in to reap the benefits.
The body of the enemy of ten thousand crumbled into dust swiftly, scattered by the wind, leaving behind only a stone the size of a baby’s fist.
Guo Zheng exclaimed in surprise, then his mouth split into a smile like that of a hippopotamus.
However, his heart skipped a beat soon after.
Lin Baici wouldn’t kill me and monopolize the spoils of war, right?
“Don’t worry, you’ll get your share!” Lin Baici looked toward the distant pavilion at the king, cautioning him, “Red Medicine, go pick up the Meteorite!”
As Lin Baici spoke, he was already holding a pine torch, approaching the red lacquered pillar, intending to set the deer platform on fire.
The king clapped his hands, nodding in praise, “Good!
Although it was the effort of three, that was after all my invincible warrior, and you are but mere rabble.
I acknowledge this outcome!”
“Tell me, what do you want?”
The king looked at Lin Baici with a teasing expression, thinking, no matter what you want, I will take it back soon, along with your heart.
“I want that lead dancing courtesan!”
Lin Baici remembered that the Eater God had mentioned there was a Meteorite on this courtesan.
Those courtesans, no matter what happened on stage, kept dancing a court dance, as if nothing else mattered.
“Hehe, a mere servant girl, granted!”
The king waved his hand generously, “Anything else?”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the lead dancing courtesan, which had been dull and stiff, suddenly shifted sinisterly, fixing on Lin Baici.
However, everyone was focused on Lin Baici and the king, so no one noticed this scene.
Lin Baici revealed his dagger.
The king laughed heartily, “There are many treacherous subjects and thieves who covet my life.
If I gave it to you, could you even take it?”
“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”
The armored soldiers roared, charging out with a bloodthirsty fervor.
Some surrounded Gu Rongjie and the others, while some rushed toward the deer platform to take down the rebels.
They would defend their king to the death.
In panic, the people were driven back to the edge of the platform by the armored soldiers.
“Haha, come and kill this king, if you dare!”
The king laughed heartily, watching Lin Baici still trying to set the pillars of the deer platform on fire, then suddenly burst into laughter with a mouthful of wine, “Don’t waste your effort.
My deer platform is constructed according to the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, perfectly aligned with the laws of heaven.
It cannot be soaked by water or burnt by fire, you…eh?”
Halfway through his sentence, the king froze because the red lacquered pillar had been lit, and the fire was visibly growing larger.
The king stood up in shock, his eyes glaring furiously, “Quick, kill them, put out the fire!
The entire Star Picking Palace was filled with the king’s shouts.
The armored soldiers, with spears in hand, charged toward the deer platform, clashing against each other, creating a rustling noise.
Crossbow arrows and regular arrows were fired.
“Break out and slay the king!”
Xia Hongyao charged ahead, ready to be the vanguard.
Lin Baici stopped her, kicking a battle axe: “Save your strength!”
The battle axe spun through the air.
Muscle Buddha appeared at the front of the stairs and, with a snap, grabbed the battle axe, delivering a horizontal slash like a hurricane, sweeping over a hundred eighty degrees.
When Buddha rages, he slays without mercy!
