Long Xia raised his head, his sharp golden eyes flickering faintly.
The two figures were clad in knight armor, their faces concealed. Yet, the cold hostility emanating from them, coupled with the disdain in their words, made Long Xia suspect that their intentions were far from good.
The two ignored Long Xia’s astonishment. The man wearing the red armor waved his hand lightly, and the earth outside the city wall rumbled. The ground cracked open, and several earth-colored sky-reaching pillars shot upwards, forming a cage that trapped Long Xia within.
"Heh, giant, surrender your power to us!"
On the other side, the mysterious figure clad in blue armor chuckled darkly, slightly bending his fingers to point at Long Xia. Crimson radiance sprayed down from the sky, enveloping the red giant within.
In an instant, the red giant began releasing vast amounts of red light energy, which followed the crimson radiance and flowed into the blue-armored man’s body.
As the energy was forcibly extracted, Long Xia shrieked in agony, struggling ceaselessly within the cage formed by the sky-reaching pillars.
Mid-air, the blue-armored man absorbed the energy gleefully, bursting into excited laughter.
"Hahaha! This is the power of light? Absolutely intoxicating..."
"Is that so? Let me have a taste too. Save some for me!"
Beside him, the red-armored man couldn’t hold back. A blood-colored mist erupted from his hand, joining the fray to absorb the light energy.
Immediately, the red giant’s body began releasing even more vast and scorching light energy, and the energy light on his chest started flashing twice as fast.
On the city wall, the spectators witnessed this scene and cursed furiously.
"Damn it! What are they doing?"
"They’re not rescue personnel!"
"Hell! Fire the cannons!"
Yu Shusheng gritted his teeth and swore, commanding the Guard Team to activate the Earth Core Energy Cannon once again.
In an instant, countless dense and searing rays engulfed the two figures, yet the blood-colored mist remained unaffected.
From within the flames, a cold snort echoed, exploding in the ears of ten thousand people on the city wall like a deafening thunderclap.
"It hurts like hell..."
"Ahh, what’s happening..."
"Just what level of power are these two...?"
At that moment, everyone on the city wall fell to the ground, clutching their ears and screaming miserably. Even Yu Shusheng and his team were doubled over in pain, blood trickling from their seven apertures.
Not far away, Godzilla, who just moments ago was acting high and mighty, was now lying low with his three dragon heads buried beneath his golden wings, quivering uncontrollably.
Within the cage, Long Xia was overwhelmed. The stench of the blood-colored mist made him dizzy, suppressing the light energy within his body while slowly extracting the remnants like peeling layers of silk.
"Damn it... Who are these people? Could they be the monsters Lao Qin spoke of...?"
Long Xia’s consciousness began to fade. His giant body collapsed to the ground, and the rapidly flashing energy light on his chest abruptly stopped. He could no longer maintain his giant form, dissolving into scattered light particles.
The blue-armored man raised an eyebrow, slightly moving his fingers, trying to manipulate the blood mist to capture the red light particles formed from Long Xia’s collapse.
If those light particles were absorbed, Long Xia would truly be finished.
"Thwip, thwip, thwip..."
At that moment, the earth beneath the city wall cracked open, and dense clusters of emerald-green vines grew rapidly, transforming into colossal vines hundreds of meters long in the blink of an eye.
The countless vines radiated vibrant green vitality, repelling the blood-colored mist while forming a protective green shield that gathered the scattered light particles until they reconstituted Long Xia’s body.
Tendrils of golden radiance from the Life Light poured into his body, giving Long Xia a rejuvenating energy surge akin to consuming a Great Replenishing Pill. Within seconds, he woke up, abruptly rolling his eyes.
Now you act? Almost got me killed playing around!
Meanwhile, witnessing the emerald vines drive back the blood mist, the two figures exclaimed involuntarily.
"Nightmare Six-star, possibly even Nightmare Seven-star level plant monster!"
"It belongs to Qin Shou’s Beast Cultivation!"
"How... How does he have a second Nightmare Six-star Beast Cultivation monster?"
"Damn it, the intel must be wrong! We retreat..."
"Hold on! He’s only Unbreakable Realm Three Stars. No matter how incredible his talent ability is, controlling two Nightmare Six-star monsters simultaneously is his limit. With our strength, we don’t need to fear him."
"Hmm... It proves that our guess was correct. There must be significant restrictions in manipulating Nightmare Six-star monsters, or he wouldn’t have had to intervene against Godzilla."
"Haha, testing him with Godzilla was clearly a smart move."
While the two were discussing, the myriad vines emitted green radiance across the sky. The wounded Guard Team members absorbed the concentrated vitality within the green light, causing their ruptured eardrums to heal rapidly and their consciousnesses to clear.
"It’s Groot! Qin Shou is here!"
"Hahaha, West City is saved..."
"Thank goodness, all my injuries are gone..."
"Wait, something’s off. We all had ear injuries, why are you covering that spot?"
"Heh-heh, it was an underlying issue. I didn’t expect this green light to work so well and fix it. Once this is over, I’m going home to battle for three hundred rounds and restore my glory!"
"Damn, you’re healed. Does that mean I’m never visiting your house again... *ahem* Congratulations."
"Haha, thanks, brother..."
Thousands of vines intertwined to form a massive web that shielded everyone beneath the city wall.
Through the gaps in the web, the crowd caught glimpses of Qin Shou standing with his hands behind his back. Beneath his feet, the emerald-green vines blossomed with radiant flowers, elevating him like an immortal descending from the heavens.
Carried atop the vines to the city wall, Long Xia twitched visibly upon seeing this scene.
So my entire appearance was just to set up your grand entrance?

Atop the giant web, Qin Shou gazed calmly at the two figures.
Around his waist, the Emperor’s Belt trembled faintly, transmitting a certain message to him.
