A Brutal Battle

Seeing the resolve in Xiao Yang's eyes, everyone fell silent.

After spending this time together, they had come to know that while Xiao Yang appeared mild-mannered and easygoing on the surface,

once he had made up his mind about something, he would definitely do it.

Moreover, Xiao Yang did have a point.

They had also noticed that neither Lord-level Monster had any flying monsters among its underlings.

Even if there were any, as long as they were not Lord-level Monsters, Xiao Yang would have no trouble dealing with them.

So Xiao Yang really would not be in much danger.

Zhang Yi was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Be careful. We'll wait for you here."

The others from the Mad Wolf Squad did not try to dissuade him any further.

Xiao Yang nodded and emptied out his backpack.

After all, if he succeeded later, he would definitely be bringing back Lord Rank materials.

It would be better to clear out the things already in his backpack beforehand.

This was too dangerous, and the others could not possibly go with him.

If it was just Xiao Yang alone, it would be difficult for him to bring back all the materials in one trip.

So he still had to bring his backpack.

Before long, he took the backpack and flew straight into the sky.

This time, Xiao Yang was extremely cautious.

After all, both Lord-level Monsters were indeed incredibly powerful.

Only after observing from the sky for a while did he fly toward a building.

As the two Lord-level Monsters fought, the surrounding buildings kept collapsing.

So Xiao Yang did not dare get too close.

But he could not stay too far away either.

Otherwise, he would be unable to ambush the Lord-level Monster that survived.

So Xiao Yang chose a small shopping mall.

Although the mall was not very tall, it covered a large area.

Even if part of it was destroyed, it would not collapse completely.

Xiao Yang avoided the gazes of countless monsters along the way.

He kept weaving through the high-rises, using them to block line of sight as he advanced.

Finally, after several minutes, Xiao Yang arrived on the roof of a shopping mall a few hundred meters from the two Lord-level Monsters.

With Xiao Yang's eyesight, he could clearly see the two Lord-level Monsters from here without even needing binoculars.

Their battle was incredibly fierce.

The roads around them had long since cracked and caved in.

Clouds of dust had also been kicked up around them.

Xiao Yang could clearly see that the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear was currently at a disadvantage.

This Sky-Swallowing Elephant was too strong!

Every attack from its tusks and trunk inflicted tremendous damage on the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear.

Although the Sky-Swallowing Elephant was much larger and far less agile than the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear,

its defense was simply too strong!

Its hide alone was more than ten centimeters thick!

This Sky-Swallowing Elephant's hide could even be used to make high-grade combat suits!

So although it had sustained quite a few injuries, none of them were particularly serious.

But the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear was different.

It had been struck by the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's trunk many times, and its internal injuries were already severe.

Besides that, one of its arms had just been pierced through by the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's tusk and was basically crippled now.

Therefore, in Xiao Yang's view, it was only a matter of time before the Sky-Swallowing Elephant won.

Xiao Yang also began considering how he should deal with the Sky-Swallowing Elephant after the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear died.

The Sky-Swallowing Elephant had thick hide and tough flesh. It would be difficult for Xiao Yang's throwing knives to pierce its body.

Even if they did pierce through, unless they hit vital organs, blades of that size could not deal much damage to the Sky-Swallowing Elephant.

Xiao Yang had only one chance.

This time, he did not plan to rely entirely on throwing knives.

He planned to replace one of his throwing knives with his spear!

If he failed to kill it, it would not matter even if he had to abandon his spear.

He would replace it sooner or later anyway.

It was only a spear. Xiao Yang was willing to gamble with it once!

As time passed, the battlefield developed exactly as Xiao Yang had expected.

The Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's injuries grew more and more severe.

Even its waist and abdomen had been struck once by the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's tusk.

There was now a huge gash across the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's abdomen. Xiao Yang could even see its internal organs through it!

The Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's attacks had slowed considerably as well.

Its severe injuries had weakened both its strength and speed.

Of course, the Sky-Swallowing Elephant had suffered some injuries too.

When the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear had been pierced through by the Sky-Swallowing Elephant again just now, it had grabbed the tusk and slashed the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's face with one claw!

The Sky-Swallowing Elephant was now blind in one eye!

Its face was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, with stark white bone faintly visible beneath it!

However, because the Sky-Swallowing Elephant had dodged in time, the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's claw had not entered its eye.

The Sky-Swallowing Elephant's brain had not suffered much damage. Its injuries were mainly external.

Those superficial wounds did not have much effect on the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's strength.

At this moment, a trace of humanlike despair appeared in the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's eyes.

As a Lord-level Monster, the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear possessed intelligence no less than a human's.

It knew that surviving today would be extremely difficult.

Even if it survived, it would not live much longer.

Its injuries were too severe!

Thinking of this, the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's gaze turned vicious.

Its attacks became even fiercer.

The Sky-Swallowing Elephant, meanwhile, fought as it retreated.

It was not afraid of the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear.

The Sky-Swallowing Elephant possessed considerable intelligence as well.

It knew the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear was gravely injured.

What it needed to do now was stall for time and let the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's injuries worsen gradually.

Then it could easily finish its opponent off.

But the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear knew it would be difficult to leave alive today, so even if it had to die, it wanted to tear off a piece of the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's flesh.

It charged forward recklessly, straight into the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's enormous tusk!

Pfft!

The enormous tusk pierced straight through the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear!

The Bloodthirsty Giant Bear showed no intention of dodging. It even continued moving forward!

Just before being struck by the tusk, it had shifted slightly, allowing the tusk to miss its heart.

The Bloodthirsty Giant Bear completely ignored its injuries and repeatedly slammed its intact paw toward the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's head.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Several claw marks instantly appeared across the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's face!

Its trunk was nearly severed!

Because the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear had targeted the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's trunk first.

Now that it was pinned on the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's tusk, the only part of its opponent that could still attack it was the trunk!

So it intended to eliminate that threat first.

Just as the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear had expected,

the Sky-Swallowing Elephant repeatedly swung its trunk, trying to shove the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear off its tusk.

At the same time, it continuously lashed the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's head with its trunk.

The Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's head was beaten into a bloody pulp.

But at this moment, it could not care about any of that. It did not defend at all and kept attacking the Sky-Swallowing Elephant's trunk.
