"Xing Tian?!"
Jiang Zhu was utterly shocked. The headless man… the legend was true?!
After the headless man placed the little girl into Jiang Zhu's arms, he turned away. He didn't react to Jiang Zhu's call.
Even though he had no head, Jiang Zhu felt as if he was looking at something.
At the colossal monster flying from the horizon.
"Danzhu! Cang Xuan! You two go save the people!"
A voice like a great bell echoed from high in the sky, filled with undisguised rage. "These two Honkai Beasts! I'll handle them!"
"Alright!"
Two figures, one black and one white, descended from the monster and plunged into the swarm of Honkai Beasts.
Jiang Zhu was stunned. That monster… could talk?!
And what was it saying? Save people?! Leave it to them?!
And who were those two figures?
While Jiang Zhu was frozen in place, Xing Tian slowly walked forward.
With each step, Xing Tian's pace quickened.
With each step, the ground beneath his feet trembled.
With each step, Xing Tian's body grew larger.
By the time Xing Tian reached Feng Bo Yu Shi, his size was not much less than theirs.
Just as Chi Yuan was about to be pushed into a corner by Feng Bo, and was preparing to use her ultimate move, she suddenly felt the sky darken. A shadow blocked the light above her head.
Xing Tian's fist slammed hard into Feng Bo's bird-like head, forcing the colossal Feng Bo back several steps.
After retreating two steps, Feng Bo shook its head to clear its senses. It was enraged by the attack and let out a hoarse screech at Xing Tian.
However, Xing Tian paid no mind to Feng Bo's threats. He took a few more steps forward, grabbed the horns on Feng Bo's head, and began to pummel it relentlessly.
Seeing her enemy suddenly sent flying, Chi Yuan was taken aback. What was going on?
High in the sky, Xu Yanwu, in his Yinglong form, was also dumbfounded.
Holy crap, that thing down there beating up the Honkai Beast… why does it look so familiar?!
Holy crap, that round birthmark on its back, holy crap, that's my body!!
How is it here?!
Despite his shock, Xu Yanwu didn't think this was the time to dwell on it. In fact, his body being able to fight Feng Bo was a huge help.
Looking at Ji Xuanyuan, who was still fighting Yu Shi, Xu Yanwu let out a roar and dived down from the sky, bellowing, "Ji Xuanyuan! Get out of the way! You go save the others! This giant python is mine!"
Seeing the giant Yinglong dive from the sky, Ji Xuanyuan didn't hesitate. She kicked off the bone horn on Yu Shi's head and lightly retreated.
If she stayed any longer, she might get caught in the attack from above.
And although she was curious why the monster in the sky could talk and knew her name, she didn't sense any hostility from the voice.
"Hiss—"
Yu Shi also felt the pressure from Xu Yanwu and tried to twist its body to escape, but it was too late. Xu Yanwu in the sky had already placed a claw on Yu Shi's back. The hard scales were instantly torn open by the sharp claws, revealing bright red blood.
"Hiss—!"
In pain, Yu Shi angrily raised its tail and whipped Xu Yanwu, causing Xu Yanwu's energy body to fluctuate.
Seeing its attack land, Yu Shi's spirits lifted. It coiled its body, intending to strangle Xu Yanwu.
"Son of a bitch!"
Xu Yanwu was also enraged. He simply opened his draconic maw and bit down just below Yu Shi's neck. Since he was an energy body now, Can't I afford to trade blows with you?
Watching Xu Yanwu fight Yu Shi to the death, Ji Xuanyuan felt a pang of sympathy, but she still turned and ran towards the Honkai Beasts attacking the civilians.
After punching through the head of a Honkai Beast attacking humans, Chi Yuan saw Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu and was surprised. "Cang Xuan? Dan Zhu? What are you two doing here?"
Seeing her companions who had also survived from the previous civilization, Chi Yuan felt both joy and surprise.
"Chi Yuan?"
Danzhu saw Chi Yuan behind her and pulled the stunned Chi Yuan over. "Watch out!"
The Honkai Beast's blade narrowly grazed the tips of Chi Yuan's hair before Cang Xuan froze it into ice with a scroll.
"There's no time to explain now. Let's deal with these Honkai Beasts first."
Cang Xuan's expression was cold. With another wave of her hand, she froze a Honkai Beast lunging at the humans in mid-air.
"That giant and that Honkai Beast…"
Chi Yuan hesitated.
"We don't know about the giant, but the other one isn't a Honkai Beast. It's Uncle Xu Yanwu, who came with us," Dan Zhu told Chi Yuan. "I'll explain after the battle."
Meanwhile, on Xu Yanwu's side of the battlefield with Feng Bo Yu Shi.
Although Xu Yanwu's body and he himself had the upper hand in the fight against Feng Bo Yu Shi, Xu Yanwu always felt things wouldn't be that easy, as if... Feng Bo Yu Shi still had something up its sleeve.
"Quick... look! The river..."
Xu Yanwu's ears twitched as he heard the exclamation.
Slightly turning his head, Xu Yanwu's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
He saw that under the urging of wind and rain, the Yellow River, which had already begun to calm down, suddenly became turbulent, rolling up a monstrous wave on its surface!
Were the abilities of these two Honkai Beasts to control wind and rain?!
Tension filled Xu Yanwu's eyes. He might not be afraid of this giant wave, but those ordinary people hadn't completely escaped yet!
If this giant wave crashed down here, those ordinary people would be crushed into meat paste by the immense force!
What would be the point of him saving people then!
The people who had felt a glimmer of hope after Xu Yanwu arrived now fell into despair again upon seeing the sweeping tidal wave. Some even knelt on the ground, praying for a chance to survive this natural disaster-like flood.
Xu Yanwu, whose head was inside Yinglong's body, had his eyes reddened, and Yinglong, too, became like a beast ready to devour.
"Very good!"
A low growl emanated from the depths of Xu Yanwu and Yinglong's throats. Even Xing Tian, who was fighting Feng Bo based on instinct, seemed to have reconnected with Xu Yanwu, its movements becoming orderly. It firmly gripped Feng Bo's head with one hand, pinning it down, and simultaneously dragged Feng Bo towards Yu Shi.
"You want to play with water with me!" After Xing Tian clamped both hands around the necks of the two Honkai Beasts, Xu Yanwu broke free and flew into the sky, roaring, "I am Yinglong now! The ancestor of playing with water!"
Xu Yanwu let out an angry roar at the Yellow River.
"Damn it! Stay... right there!!"
