"Huff... huff..."
Soft, labored breathing continued to escape Shen Heng's lips.
The battle was short, even very short, but forcibly raising his body to an equivalent level of 'Flow Overclocking' still put a tremendous strain on his body.
Now...
"Two minutes...?"
Shen Heng glanced in the Frontier-Pacifying City, then turned his gaze back.
In their field of vision, a pale blue, jelly-shaped Calamity Beast stared at them with its empty eyes.
With great interest and a little bit of interest...
They looked at each other and paused.
Then, at some point, they both started moving simultaneously.
One figure moved forward, and the other moved backward.
Shen Heng retreated rapidly, his eyes fixed on the front, while his mind simultaneously focused on the situation around him and behind him.
Of course, the main focus was still on the Mirror Water Beast in front of them.
"Bang!"
Shen Heng landed backward on the ground without pausing, his figure quickly darting to the side.
The next moment.
"Boom--"
A tremendous explosion echoed from the spot.
The nearby Calamity Beast were crushed to death without even a scream; Calamity Beast a little further away were blasted away by the invisible shockwave, raising a huge cloud of dust!
Before anyone could see what was inside the smoke and dust, one tentacle after another suddenly shot out from within, heading straight forward.
The Mirror Water Beast is starting to try a different strategy!
Shen Heng lay half-reclined in the air, his gaze fixed on the approaching tentacles.
Raise the knife and slash!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."
The glint of blades enveloped Shen Heng.
Each time it appears, it collides directly with one of the tentacles.
It can either sever directly or cleave horizontally...
"Bang!"
Shen Heng landed on the ground.
The reaction force from the collision accelerated his landing speed.
But this did not hinder his actions; on the contrary, it made his defense even easier.
Even if you can dodge while in the air, you still need to deal with each tentacle individually; otherwise, the one you miss could easily turn from a piercing attack into a horizontal lash.
But once it's implemented, this issue won't need to be considered anymore.
For the Mirror Water Beast to attack him, each tentacle needed to exert tremendous force. This force meant that after Shen Heng dodged it, the tentacle would quickly retreat and continue to penetrate the ground. And once it penetrated the ground...
Changing the tentacles' attack methods won't be so easy!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
Tentacles rained down like a storm.
Shen Heng took a step back, looked up at the black dots, and raised his long sword again.
"Bang! Bang! Sizzle! Bang!..."
Dust and snow filled the sky.
Shen Heng retreated rapidly.
Each slash of his longsword precisely struck a tentacle, sending it flying.
But he dodged most of the tentacles, which continued to penetrate the ground.
Of course, not all the tentacles came away empty-handed!
"Laugh--"
A tentacle pierced straight through one of the Calamity Beast along the way.
Then, it was slightly lifted up, and the Calamity Beast, having been pierced, was lifted up, only to fall back to the ground under the influence of gravity.
The wound that pierced half of its body caused the Calamity Beast to tremble slightly. It struggled, trying to stand up, but...
A huge figure quickly rolled over it.
The figure glided past, leaving behind only the craters and the thing that would never move again.
The surrounding Calamity Beast trembled, and only after the two figures were a little further away did they gradually regain their ability to move. They then quickly fled, and no Calamity Beast paid any attention to the figure lying on the ground.
The rain of tentacles followed its goal all the way forward.
The commotion had already drawn the attention of the surrounding Calamity Beast.
Then, the Calamity Beast that was no longer on the path breathed a sigh of relief.
Those on the path fled frantically.
Forward, to both sides...
At this point, they no longer cared about stepping on other Calamity Beast or being attacked by Calamity Beast.
One after another, the Calamity Beast frantically pushed forward; if they couldn't squeeze out, they crawled out!
Their only thought at that moment was to leave that path!
Soon, those who felt they had successfully escaped that deadly path breathed a sigh of relief;
Those who hadn't escaped fought even more frantically, until they felt they couldn't escape...
"No! No! I don't want to..."
"Lord Mirror Water Beast, no... please...!"
"Laugh--"
The tentacles mercilessly pierced through one Calamity Beast after another.
The Mirror Water Beast didn't target them, but it also didn't deliberately slow down to see if it could avoid them.
Just as it said, it really... has no interest in the survival of low-level Calamity Beast!
"Bang! Bang! Sizzle! Bang!..."
The rain of tentacles rushed down.
Dust and snow billowed across the battlefield, along with streaks of blood.
Shen Heng retreated rapidly across the battlefield.
Whether stepping on the ground, trampling on the Calamity Beast, or raising a sword to slash...
Suddenly, Shen Heng paused slightly, his gaze rising as if he had sensed something.
In their field of vision, the tentacles were still attacking, but further away, the Mirror Water Beast extended several tentacles and rested them on the ground, its body and those tentacles slightly bent.
Without hesitation, Shen Heng mobilized a large amount of Origin Power.
The next moment, accompanied by a very low "bang," Shen Heng's figure vanished from the spot.
Almost the instant his figure disappeared, a figure crashed heavily into the spot where he had been standing.
Gravel flew everywhere, dust and snow filled the sky...
"This human's reaction... is that fast?!" The Mirror Water Beast slowly slid out of the dust and snow.
It gazed at the humans in the distance, its body trembling slightly.
The enormous body vanished from its original spot once again at an illogical speed.
Somewhere on the battlefield.
Two enormous figures charged toward each other.
One side was crimson, the other brownish-yellow; the only thing they had in common was that each person bore serious wounds, with blood dripping down their bodies.
But at this moment, neither side cared about that anymore.
" Threefold Force - Fist of Destruction!"
Chen Hua roared, and with each step he took, his fist, as large as a small hill, slammed fiercely towards the crimson figure rushing towards him.
Seemingly realizing that this was a decisive blow, the Scarlet Wolf roared, gathering a large amount of Origin Power between its claws, and then... swung out.
"Bang!"
It was like Mars colliding with Earth.
Its massive size, immense power, and violent shockwaves raged outwards.
Thus, the stalemate lasted for a moment.
It seems the contest of strength has finally come to a conclusion.
The fist, as large as a small hill, crushed the crimson claws and slammed into the Scarlet Wolf's face.
The next moment.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Scarlet Wolf landed and rolled and dragged for more than twenty meters before slowly coming to a stop.
