Chapter 542: [ Beast Wave! (2) ]
Allen’s figure arrived just beside the rampaging purple Flamingo, his scythe raised upwards.
The Flamingo's pair of eyes widened in shock, its flames stopped and as if the scene was played in slow motion, Allen could see the Flamingo’s eyes clouded by shock, panic, fear, and disbelief as it turned its head towards him—
Slash!!
The Flamingo’s head was severed from its neck, tracing an arc in the air like a ball, and falling into the ground.
Plop! the body dropped in the ground along with its head with still wide opened eyes.
—Conratulations! You have killed Lv8 Four-Winged Toxic Flamingo + 600 Experience Points! Killing Points 3—
The person who was just fighting the Purple Flamingo was a Spirit Realm Stage Expert. Before Allen had yet to appear, he was the second mightiest person among the group. However, he was facing a level 8 beast – Four-Winged Toxic Flamingo Beast, whose power was equivalent to a Saint Realm warrior.
After using all of his ace martial arts, that warrior was still not able to kill the beast, and instead, his chest and arm had been scratched and burned.
Seeing Allen kill that beast with only one effortless attack, his eyes widened in disbelief.
He could not be more shocked.
“...what a dangerous monster, isn’t it?” Allen’s voice was indifferent as he stopped in the air, floating with the pitch black long scythe with a very ominous design, a small blade protruding from the back of the long blade—In a shape of bird skull, as the blade was its beak!
“…You are—?!” The man was shocked looking at Allen in confusion as well as disbelief. Even the other members of his group were in the same state. Who is this expert? But Allen ignored him and turned his gaze at the other place—
The situation was quite intense there. There was surprisingly two Level 6 beasts, though the people that Allen had saved before seemed to have snapped out in their daze and brought his members and helped to fight the other monsters, saving the rest of the people. It seems like they are quite good people~
Saving them is worthwhile...
However, the level 6 monsters are just too strong, even with the others help—they were in a disadvantaged position and were still struggling. Right then, the Emperor ranked warrior that was a member of the group that was being chased by monsters was just about to be killed under the claws of that Level 6 beast.
Transforming into lightning, Allen’s body completely disappeared in the air. When he reappeared, he was already between that man and beast. He slashed his scythe, like a true grim reaper, the blade gleamed causing a shining light arched in the air, without a second’s delay.
Pop!
That lightning-like reaper’s blade broke through the level 6 beast’s protective beast energy and landed directly on its neck. The next second, it was cut, beheading another monster.
"...?!!" And then, suddenly Allen felt something coming from behind, a monster was actually sneak attacking him, pouncing from behind him. He ducked to dodge and managed to avoid the attack, but then saw the monster changing his attack trajectory—it was actually, a massive bear-like monster with scaled back and red fur and purple mane—the monster growled angrily and its other arm slashing towards Allen who was still in mid-air.
Allen could not avoid this, many people thought and hurriedly rushed towards him to help him out but before they could arrive, the monster bear’s attack would surely hit first, or so they realized. They began to feel panic, after all, Allen was still the one who saved them, it would be sad if he died here!
However, ignorant of their feelings, Allen didn’t care about the monster’s sneak attack and neither did he intend to avoid it. Under everyone's shocked gaze, with his left foot lightly touching the ground, he lowered his shoulder and went down on one knee, as though he were taking the claw strike on purpose.
Bang!!!
An explosion rang out, and a sound akin to that of steel clashing against each other echoed in the area—even the dust flew out. However, when the dust thinned out, the people who were watching and expecting a trajectory outcome was instead, dumbfounded.
Surprisingly, Allen did not suffer any injuries. The claw was just touching Allen’s chest, no blood, no wounds, the clothes were not even torn apart or ragged!
“I commend you for being able to touch me, you're strong…!!!” Allen smiled wildly in delight. Then he straightened up and shrugged his shoulder up and returned the attack with an abrupt force!
The Monster Bear’s power laced Claw strike was unexpectedly bounced back by the shoulder's motion and came back to bite the monster instead, causing it to stumble back down. However, before the Bear could react, with his free hand, Allen gently touched the monster’s chest and mutter, “…but not strong enough!”
BaaaaaAAAnnnAAg!!!
The blood spilled everywhere. That level 6 beast which was seemingly so powerful one second ago had been completely blown away by Allen’s palm, a huge hole appearing on its chest. It brought one chill just by the sight of it.
Just what was this martial art style?
Why did it feel so familiar?
The people stared wide-eyed, at Allen’s prowess, completely dumbfounded and in disbelief!
Allen ignored their expressions and turned towards the man whose life was hanging by a single thread just now and said, “You go to treat your wounds first!” Allen said to that youth, who was severely injured. His voice was soft and somehow indifferent.
“…O, Okay, thanks!”
The youth was just like the people around them, full of shock. However, it was not time for him to be surprised right now. He followed Allen’s suggestions and stepped to the back.
He sat on the ground and started to meditate after swallowing a pill, hoping that he could replenish most of his attacking power as soon as possible.
“Oh! Little bro, you are really powerful!”
A lady who seemed to be in her forties said to Allen while fighting against another rank 8 beast.
She held a long Guandao with a thick crimson shaft, which made her power almost equivalent to the beast.
She kept throwing powerful attacks, leaving blood marks on the beasts’ body. The way she twirled the long weapon in her hand was as if she was twirling a baton in a parade--graceful, beautiful and full of elegance…!
And with his pretty face, beautiful emerald eyes and large melo—ah no, assets and body proportions, coupled with his crimson colored Qipao, she look like a true Immortal War Goddess. Allen’s impression instantly rose up!
Allen said with a grin, “Same goes to you. Although I don’t think you need my help, still you don’t mind me giving you a hand, do you?”
Mid Spirit Realm warriors were normally quite confident about their power, and if Allen just jumped in out of the blue, it might make her quite unhappy, since she had already got the rank 8 beast under control.
Although Allen was a shameless person in nature, he was not fond of making women angry—as the saying goes, ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn!’ he has no masochistic tendencies of being hated by women~
As a gentleman, that’s the worst kind of curse in the world!
“Great! I was afraid you won’t ask.” The beautiful lady smiled, not caring about false egos.
Boom!!!
The ground cracked open, as Allen flew with a tyrannic aura towards that beast the beautiful lady was fighting against – the rank 8 beast Two Headed Wolf King.
AWOOOOooooOOOO————!!!
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The Wolf King noticed Allen’s existence and was immediately felt displeased. One of the heads of that Two Headed Wolf King breathed out a beam of light towards Allen. Its power was magnificent; although it didn’t touch the ground as it shoots parallel to it, the ground beneath it exploded layer by layer, bringing up crushed rocks into the sky.
A long deep line was created wherever the beam was directed to.
Break!
Allen grinned wickedly as he faced the incoming beam of light, “Look out!” the beautiful lady cried out, but Allen just rotated his scythe in the air and then, and stabbed its butt into the ground.
In an instant, like flipping a tatami, the ground in front of Allen stood up, seemingly acting as a shield in front of him. However, it was not a shield, Allen let go of his Scythe and clenched his fist, so hard his knuckles seemed to create a cracking noise!
When the light beam hit the raised ground, it slowly drilled into it, as if the ground with a thickness of a meter, was made up of ice, it was slowly melting. But when it successfully pierced through the ground, the beam of light—was punched by Allen, whose fist was glowing in a golden-crimson light.
Under the dumbstruck gaze of every people in the area, including those who were still fighting monsters, the beam of light hit Allen’s knuckles and then, as if it bounced away, it was repelled, shooting back towards the Wolf King.
What the hell…?!!!
You can do that...?!!
Everyone’s eyes turned round in shock and disbelief—the beam attack by the Wolf King that even the strongest of them, the red clothed lady who was a Mid Spirit Realm Expert couldn’t do anything but dodge against that attack, was actually... punched back…?!!
Am I dreaming...?!
Is that still a human being could possibly do…?!
“Oh my?!”
The lady in red was also momentarily surprised by the display of power.
The beam of light that was returned shoots towards the also surprised Wolf King, however, the Wolf King’s body glowed brightly and a filament-like protective screen appeared around the monster. The beam of light immediately landed on Two Headed Wolf King’s protective beast qi.
“Oh? This Two-Headed Wolf King seems to be not easy to handle.” Allen sighs in astonishment as he saw the repelled beam was actually stopped by the monster's barrier.
In fact, it can actually create a barrier...?
How skillful~
The beam of light had been blocked by the defensive beast qi, and could not get through! Right then, Allen knew how powerful the beautiful lady actually was. She seemed to be above those Mid Spirit Realm warriors of the same level. She was controlling that Two Headed Wolf King all by herself, such a thing was extremely difficult to do, even probably for a Peak Spirit Realm Expert!
As for the beautify lady, who was shocked by Allen's display of superhuman brute strength, immediately snapped out from her daze and smiled mischievously and gently warned him, “This is not a typical Two Headed Wolf King. It was mutated and has a really strong beast qi as a consequence. Even with my Crimson Moon, it was impossible to cut open its beast qi with one attack. You have to use your ace martial ar--!? Ah! It’s broken!” Her voice changed in the end, displaying a rather comical tone of astonishment.
In the beautiful lady’s sight, that golden beam did not disappear after hitting the protective beast qi. It somehow turned into countless sparks of lightning, as it spread and became snake-like chains of lightning that drilled into the protective beast qi.
Within two blinks of an eye, one of the Two-Headed Wolf King’s head had been struck by lightning and was blown by it.
Its head exploded like a watermelon in a beachside!
So horrifyingly Gory...!
Its blood rained down like a shower.
“Moonlight Sweep!!!”
The beautiful lady was shocked by the destruction of the Wolf King’s barrier but she was not a greenhorn in battle, she immediately regained her senses and once the protective beast layer had been broken, the beautiful lady swung his Guandao and threw three blade attacks at an unbelievable speed, cutting the remaining head and killing the beast at once.
“Interesting… thank you for your assistance little brother,” The beautiful lady gracefully landed on the ground and then, facing Allen who was returning the scythe on his back, she slightly bowed while touching a fist to a palm.
“May I know the little brother’s name…?”
She flashed a beautiful smile that even those people from around them couldn’t help but be smitten.
“…I would be honored for such a beautiful lady to know my name—this little brother’s surname is Ye, given name Wushuang… but Jie Jie can just call me Shuang er~” Allen teasingly said.
“… …” The beautiful lady was surprised at first and then chuckled in amusement. “Haha, I’m deeply gratified for Shuang er for saving us. This Jie Jie is Liu Yifei…Shuang er can call me Yifei Jie.” She actually goes along with the flow and called Allen ‘Shuang er’ surprising the latter. This woman is fun…
'Xiaolongnü' Allen cried out inwardly.
A certain image came into his mind.
“..little brother seemed to be extremely powerful, even this Jie Jie seemed to be out of a match, I'm afraid. Though I already have seen so many young heroes wandering in the Continent, this is the first time I had seen little brother—truly the continent is vast! There are so many crouching tiger hidden dragons staying low key…” She praised highly. Then, she stared at Allen with a serious gaze, “Does little brother interested in joining our Moon Lake Pavilion? Don’t worry, we are only an organization rather than a martial institution, so you don’t have to leave yours.”
Liu Yifei was not stupid, with Allen’s power and abilities; surely he should be a member of a large sect, groomed secretly. Thus, she would not ask him to leave his martial institution, that would only be asking rejection or worse…war…!
Allen pondered for a bit before answering in a teasing manner, “I’m sorry I can’t… however, how about if we do this? Why not Yifei Jie joins ours instead…?”
“Eh?!” Liu Fei was shocked because, although she knows that there was a high chance of her being rejected, she had never thought of being returned back to her invitation and offered to join his instead!
“…of course, I won’t ask to leave your organization either—even with your affiliation, we would still accept you wholeheartedly…” Allen smiled mischievously.
“….ha ha ha, you’re really interesting, little brother. But sadly I—”
“Well, you don’t need to answer so quickly. Think it over,”
Liu Yifei was about to reject Allen’s offer but he cut her down and throw her a golden medallion.
At the center of the golden medallion was an image of a red cloud—where have I seen this symbol…? Liu Yifei wondered as she stared at the red clouds engraved at the medallion. Then, something struck her and an image of certain people she had seen not too long ago appeared within her mind.
She was startled, almost dropping the golden medallion…!
“…Little brother…” She turned her attention at Allen, her expression full of complicated expressions. “…are you a member of that…Dawn, the one with a member named…Pain…?”
“Oh? You know of it?” Allen acted surprised. But inwardly he was actually not, after all, he had shown himself at that moment for this purpose…!
“As I thought… so you are Dawn…?” she asked, her expression turned extremely complicated.
“Yeah, Ye Wushuang of Dawn…!” Allen winked at her.
“... Ha ha ha, I see… that Dawn…I’ll think about it,” The beautiful lady paused for a moment before she suddenly laughed.
And for Allen, this beautiful lady; Liu Yifei, has a very wonderful way of laughing. Enchanting and somehow, alluring...
A normal girl would laugh in a reserved manner, especially if one was a lady. They would not show their teeth when laughing and emphasized on manners, intention, upbringing, etiquette and other factors, full of discipline and strict behavior. However, this woman was an exception.
She would laugh whenever she wanted to, not caring about any manners and would laugh unrestrainedly. Her smile was as brilliant as a flower, the sound as crisp as a bell, resounding in the heart. It had a kind of sincerity that could not be explained, causing people to feel extremely generous and truthful.
Thus, Allen can't help but feel having an urge to laugh as well, whenever she was laughing, to join her in her little world.
Liu Yifei continued to laugh. She didn’t reject Allen’s offer immediately just like before. After all, this was just an offer, an invitation, nothing else. Besides, the Dawn Organization was hot stuff in the Continent at this moment—no one knows anything about this Organization and maybe, this moment would actually turn into something she would never expect in the future…!
This is an unknown opportunity--she just can't carelessly throw it aside!
As she laughed, she stared at Allen, an obvious joy appeared on her face like a hunter seeing his target in the woods after a long time.
“Hmm, wise choice,” Allen muttered. A smile appearing on his face. “Hehe, you will be interested in the future.”
Suddenly, as they were chatting together while the rest of the group was resting, at this moment—
RooooOOOOooooooaaaaAAARRRR----!!!
Monster roars and cries resounded in the entire forest, shaking the ground. Hearing this, all the people’s expression immediately distorted.
“Lady Liu!! There are monsters approaching us!"
One of the men who had kept a lookout shouted at Liu Yifei and Allen.
The people who were resting immediately stood up as well and took out their weapons.
"Damn another wave?! What the hell is wrong with this mountain?!"
One of the youth cursed with a pale expression.
"This is bad! If I’m not wrong, this monster horde is formed by a group of Emperor ranked monsters and there were even some spirit stage monsters!" the one who saw it first cried out in an anxious manner.
“…It seems like you’re quite unlucky today~” Allen looks at Liu Yifei and teased. His expression devoid of panic and anxiety and was instead full of smiles.
“…Please don’t mention it!” Liu Yifei smiled bitterly.
The second the group saw the incoming monsters from deep within the forest, their expression instantly turned pale. It was incredibly horrifying.
From Allen’s eyes, inside that beast wave, the level 5 beasts were uncountable, and there was even a dozen level 6 beasts. The most frightening thing was that behind all those beasts, a gigantic shadow was crawling on the ground. Wherever it went, a group of tall trees would crash and fall down, shaking the land. It was as if there had been a small earthquake.
It was a snake that was almost one thousand meters long. It had two long horns on its head, and its whole body had blue-yellow-ish scales which were the size of a bucket. A pair of wings on its back, looking like a serpentine dragon.
A casual flick of its tail would crack open the ground, throwing all those rocks in the air. When it opened its mouth, a rotten smell instantly poured out, forming endless energy flow that looked like dark clouds, covering its whole body.
—[ Winged Mountain Serpent-Type: Beast, Level: 8 Offense: A+ Defense: AA+ ]—
BOOOOM!!!!
“Wow…”
Allen sigh…
Truly unlucky...
