Chapter 1817: Chapter 1815: Preparing for Sacrifice
"I don’t know. That was nearly my strongest strike just now, and it hit all over its back without any defense measures. I estimate its current state shouldn’t be good, at least heavily injured! It’s apparent that although this monster is extremely powerful, its defense is quite ordinary!"
The Devouring Sky Python shook its head and said.
"This is already considered a breakthrough. Previously, even when you and I teamed up against it for half a day, we couldn’t injure it. Now that it’s hurt, it can alleviate some of our pressure!"
The old man sighed helplessly and said.
"Indeed, earlier we battled it together for a long time, and both you and I consumed a lot of energy. But that monster seemed totally fine and got stronger as it fought. Under those circumstances, if we kept fighting, we’d have exhausted ourselves to death, and that monster might have still ended up unscathed. Now it’s good; it’s injured. Even if it’s not dead, the injuries aren’t minor. Next time it rushes up to us, we can handle it more easily!"
The Devouring Sky Python nodded and said.
"But for this, we’ve also paid quite a price!"
The old man sighed, turned to look at Chen Feng, and asked, "How is your Xuanming Demon Wolf? This time it didn’t seem to revive directly!"
"I don’t know. I can no longer sense its life force; it seems truly dead this time!"
Chen Feng shook his head.
"The cost is too great, and it only injured that demon creature a bit. When it returns for another attack, how will we fight it? Without the Xuanming Demon Wolf to engage it head-on, even if we join forces again, we won’t be able to harm it!"
The old man furrowed his brows and said heavily.
"The senior is right. Now we can only hope that the monster’s previous injury is severe enough so that its power is affected, and we can easier manage it!"
The Devouring Sky Python nodded, with a serious expression.
"Sigh!"
The old man sighed, shook his head, then smiled bitterly and said, "Suddenly, I miss the Ancient Times. Back then, not to mention such a mere Sergeant Level monster, even if a General Level appeared, I wouldn’t be afraid at all! But now, just a Sergeant Level monster with Heavenly Rank Perfection can leave me in such a messy state. In the past, with a casual strike, I could kill dozens of them!"
Hearing this, Chen Feng was taken aback, his heart filled with astonishment.
It seems that the old man’s strength at his peak was truly exceptional.
Even monsters comparable to Heavenly Rank Perfection could be effortlessly killed by the dozens.
How terrifying a power it must have been!
No wonder the old man always gave such an unfathomable impression.
His peak strength must have far exceeded the Heaven Rank.
As for the specifics, they remain unknown.
Only the old man himself knows.
And just as the three were conversing.
"Bang!"
A loud sound was heard.
A thousand meters away, the sea surface suddenly surged with a giant water column.
Immediately, a dark shadow burst through the surface, roaring with extreme anger, charging quickly toward the shore over the waves.
It was none other than the monster previously blown away by the Devouring Sky Python!
Seeing this.
The old man, Chen Feng, and the Devouring Sky Python all wore expressions of gravity.
"The battle must go on; it seems this great battle will indeed exact a certain price to end it!"
The old man furrowed his brow, looking grim as he spoke.
"Senior, next time, let me confront it head-on while you flank it!"
The Devouring Sky Python suggested, looking at the old man.
"It’s useless. Previously, when we fought together against it, we tried similar tactics. But the result? Even when we both attacked simultaneously, it could handle it. Its speed is too fast, and our simultaneous attack is basically ineffective unless a third party can charge head-on, draw its attention, and buy us time to unleash our attack moves. Only then can we seize the opportunity to get close to it and hit it with our strongest moves, catching it off guard, otherwise, it’s all for naught!"
The old man shook his head gravely.
"But now it seems the Xuanming Demon Wolf is dead, and there’s nobody to draw the monster’s attention anymore!"
The Devouring Sky Python glanced at the ashes on the ground, saying helplessly.
"Sigh, we can only take one step at a time and see!"
The old man sighed deeply.
"Senior, Devouring Sky, why not let me be the one to lure that monster next time!"
Chen Feng took a deep breath, looking at the old man and Devouring Sky Python as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, both the old man and the Devouring Sky Python were stunned.
"Boy, are you crazy? You’ve seen how terrifying that demon’s attacks can be. Even the Netherworld Demon Wolf with such abnormal regeneration ability was killed by it. With your current strength, don’t even think about it surviving attacks like the previous skills, even an ordinary hit could be deadly for you!"
The old man shot Chen Feng a glare, speaking with displeasure.
Because to him, Chen Feng’s suggestion was undoubtedly suicidal.
"Indeed, Lord, this method is too dangerous. Instead of using you as bait, it would be better for me to do it because your physical strength and current power cannot withstand the monster’s damage no matter what!"
The Devouring Sky Python hurriedly persuaded.
"But now there’s no other way. If no one can help you draw the monster head-on, you two cannot keep hurting it. As this continues, once you two are exhausted, none of us will escape!"
"Therefore, the best way now is for me to act as bait to attract the monster head-on while you two continue executing the previous tactic of flanking. This way, even if it kills me with one hit, as long as either of you succeeds, I guess even if that monster’s life force is robust, it’d be finished, and sacrificing myself along with it would be my contribution to Earth!"
Chen Feng took a deep breath, clenching his teeth as he spoke.
At this moment, he was prepared to sacrifice himself.
Though he couldn’t confront the entire Ancient Demon Clan like Emperor Tianqi did.
At least he would protect Coastal through his sacrifice!
This was enough!
"No, I absolutely disagree! As the inheritor of the Tianqi Holy Pearl, how could you perish with a mere Sergeant Level monster of the Ancient Demon Clan? You have more important missions to accomplish; you still need to protect the whole Earth! So today, even if I have to die instead, I won’t let you die!"
The old man shook his head, outright rejecting Chen Feng’s proposal.
