Team Up to Slay the Enemy

Chen Qing turned around and looked back. Yang Sanjin was now glowing with golden light from head to toe.

Although it was called Iron Wall, it was actually something resembling a shield that materialized in front of him.

However, Yang Sanjin seemed to know that his shield could not withstand Shadow Cat's attack.

"Go!" Yang Sanjin stared fixedly at Shadow Cat as it charged toward him.

At the same time, he roared at Chen Qing.

"I'm not leaving!" Tears glimmered in Chen Qing's eyes.

Shadow Cat's claws suddenly stabbed toward Yang Sanjin.

The Iron Wall shattered in an instant!

Chen Qing was shocked. "Condensed Water Shield!"

It had much in common with Yang Sanjin's Iron Wall from earlier, but its effects were different.

The five elements generated and overcame one another, but there were differences in quality.

Shadow Cat's attack was clearly physical damage. If even the Iron Wall could not withstand it, how could a spell shield like Condensed Water Shield possibly block it?

The instant Shadow Cat's claws touched the Condensed Water Shield, it turned into a puddle of water and fell to the ground.

Killing intent ran rampant in Shadow Cat's eyes. Yang Sanjin was in grave danger!

"Xiao Qing! Go!" Yang Sanjin's leg injuries were severe, and he could no longer dodge this fatal blow.

Even at a time like this, his first reaction was still to make Chen Qing leave.

This was the last thing he could do as the captain of the City Guard Team!

"Captain!!!"

Xiao Qing fell to her knees with a thump, powerless to do anything.

She hated it—hated that she was too weak, hated that she was so useless...

At this critical moment, two rows of logs suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Yang Sanjin.

The two rows of logs then connected into one, and Shadow Cat's claws arrived at the same time.

The contrast with the two defensive shields from earlier was stark.

Shadow Cat's claws plunged directly into Wood Release and became embedded in it, but the Wood Stockade Wall did not collapse.

Yang Sanjin stared at the enormous defensive shield that had suddenly appeared before him, astonishment in his eyes.

"Get out of the way!" A voice came from not far away and reached Yang Sanjin's ears.

Yang Sanjin instantly came to his senses. He grabbed the Wood Stockade Wall with one hand and vaulted over it.

He brought his blade down in a single slash!

Chen Qing watched this scene in delight. Was this beast finally going to die?!

But Yang Sanjin was shocked!

"Clang!"

Shadow Cat had blocked his full-powered slash with its other claw.

A man and a cat faced off!

Yang Sanjin knew that if he withdrew his strength and fled now, he could escape unscathed. But if he wanted to find another chance to kill this Level Seven Mutant Beast, he had no idea how long he would have to wait.

He gritted his teeth and increased the force in his hands once more!

Shadow Cat was a beast, but in this situation, with one claw trapped in that strange wall and the other claw blocking an attack, it could not break free either.

"Xiao Qing! Strike!"

Yang Sanjin roared as he exerted every ounce of strength he had.

Seeing the situation before her, Chen Qing immediately picked up the long blade from the ground and charged at Shadow Cat.

Her innate ability was water, and all her attacks were area-of-effect attacks.

But given Yang Sanjin's current condition, he clearly could not use his innate ability to attack.

Chen Qing reached Shadow Cat. Fierce intent surged in her eyes as she raised the blade three feet above her head and brought it down with all her strength.

"Die, beast!"

"Meeeow!!!"

Shadow Cat took Chen Qing's attack head-on. Chen Qing, who was in the Fifth Awakening Realm, had barely managed to hack through Shadow Cat's defenses with the weapon.

One fighter in the Sixth Realm and one in the Fifth Realm facing a Level Seven Mutant Beast—it was truly no easy feat.

Shadow Cat felt the injury on its back and became furious.

It gathered all its strength into its claws, and the Wood Stockade Wall was instantly destroyed.

Yang Sanjin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated.

Chen Qing also took two steps back, cautiously watching Shadow Cat before her.

Just then, Ye Chen's voice rang out. "Brother, I can still use my innate ability once. I estimate I can restrain it for one or two seconds..."

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Yang Sanjin immediately understood. This was the man who had just saved his life.

His eyes narrowed slightly. "Understood!"

Chen Qing also gathered her fighting spirit.

Shadow Cat had clearly been enraged by the attacks just now, and it glared menacingly at Chen Qing.

Although Chen Qing's fighting spirit was soaring, fear flickered in her pupils.

After all, she was now this beast's target!

But she could only bite the bullet and press on.

With that thought, Chen Qing deliberately retreated two steps and pretended to fall, exposing an opening.

Shadow Cat was overjoyed. Killing intent surged forth instantly as it charged at Chen Qing.

The moment Chen Qing fell, she rolled and dropped to one knee, holding the long blade horizontally before her chest.

"Careful!" Yang Sanjin strode forward, wanting to condense metal-attributed energy into the long blade.

But he had not expected the spiritual energy within his body to have already run dry, leaving him unable to strengthen the attack.

"Silent Killing Binding Technique!" A figure burst out from the dim alley.

He pressed his palms together and muttered a phrase.

It was Ye Chen!

As Ye Chen charged toward Shadow Cat, two branches stretched toward it from behind him.

Just as Shadow Cat was about to attack Chen Qing, the branches happened to bind its body tightly.

"Die!" Yang Sanjin and Chen Qing shouted in unison, overjoyed at the sight.

Two long blades, one before and one behind, stabbed into Shadow Cat's body!

"Meeeow!!" Overwhelmed by immense pain, Shadow Cat roared.

But even so, Shadow Cat seized the opportunity and swiped one paw toward Chen Qing's forehead.

Chen Qing's face went deathly pale with fright, and Ye Chen's expression changed drastically.

I went to such lengths to save her, and you dare—!

A wooden spike slipped from Ye Chen's sleeve.

He raised his right hand high, assuming a throwing stance.

His left foot halted while his right foot lifted high.

Ye Chen hurled the branch with tremendous force.

Blood stained the Long Sky.

A shriek echoed through the heavens, and Shadow Cat finally died.

Yang Sanjin released the long blade in his hand and collapsed. He panted heavily, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the rain washing over his body.

Chen Qing had also narrowly escaped death. Her legs gave way, and she slumped onto the ground with a smile.

Seeing this, Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Killed Level Seven Mutant Beast Shadow Cat, obtained 70 points.

Points Draw unlocked. Host, please check it yourself.

Ye Chen froze for a moment before checking the system interface.

Beside the previously available Myriad Worlds Draw, a Points Draw had appeared.

There were options to draw with one hundred points and one thousand points.

The corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly. Good grief...

I can't even afford the one-hundred-point draw.

Ye Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He walked over to Yang Sanjin, crouched down, and poked him with a finger.

"Are you all right? Those injuries look pretty serious."

Yang Sanjin panted as he struggled to open his eyes and look at Ye Chen. "If you don't help me call an ambulance, I won't be."

Ye Chen smiled and silently took out his phone, pressing a button.

"Unfortunately, the phone got waterlogged. Looks like you're screwed today."

Yang Sanjin was speechless. He gave Ye Chen a resentful look.

Just then, Chen Qing also came to her senses. She hurriedly took out the special phone issued by the City Guard Team and called for an ambulance.

"Looks like I'm not destined to die yet." Yang Sanjin closed his eyes and fell asleep.
