Chapter 55 Encountering the Holy Spirit Beast

"Hmph! It is indeed my Holy Spirit Clan!" The Holy Spirit Beast scoffed, then continued, "Despicable humans, if you hadn't used such vile means to destroy my Holy Spirit Pavilion, I would have made your city awash in blood!"

Jiang Yuan could guess that this guy must have escaped from a place similar to the Holy Spirit Fortress, and its severely injured state must have come from there. There were undoubtedly two despicable methods: one was the supernatural power on Earth, and the other was guns and missiles. Most of the technology on Earth was damaged, but some heavy firepower was still preserved.

However, Jiang Yuan preferred the latter option; otherwise, the Holy Spirit Beast wouldn't have mentioned such despicable means.

"Hmph, but even the most despicable methods can only hit the Holy Spirit Pavilion at most. Once it rises to the level of the Holy Spirit Temple, then everything will be in vain!" the Holy Spirit Beast sneered.

"Gale Cannon!" Ning Yanlan fired a shot at the Holy Spirit Beast. She didn't know if it was a sneak attack or not; she only knew that if the other party wanted to kill her, she would kill back.

With a roar, the Holy Spirit Beast leaped away, its eyes turning blood red, and said, "Both of you are stained with the blood of my race, and you will surely die today!"

After saying that, the Holy Spirit Beast pounced on Ning Yanlan first.

"Wolf Step!" Jiang Yuan also pounced forward, his blade aimed at Ning Yanlan's front.

The fourth-tier Iron-Breaking Blade struck the Holy Spirit Beast, but to Jiang Yuan's surprise, his blade only managed to pierce the beast's skin, leaving a wound less than a centimeter deep.

However, when the attack hit the Holy Spirit Beast, it interrupted its attack. The beast suddenly stopped and turned, then lashed out with its tail whip at Jiang Yuan.

"You bastard!" Jiang Yuan cursed, clutching his stomach, but the Holy Spirit Beast retreated in a flash, leaving the two no chance to retaliate.

"Get out of here quickly! This is a Holy Spirit Beast. It escaped after the Holy Spirit Pavilion in the South City was breached a few days ago!" Zhu Penghai had finally recovered enough to walk, but he did not choose to escape alone. Instead, he prepared to join forces with Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan.

After all, this was a Holy Spirit Beast. No one present could match its speed or strength. It could be said that the group was completely overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit Beast. However, the only thing that gave people hope was that the Holy Spirit Beast was seriously injured.

After Zhu Penghai arrived, Qian Kai also carried the unconscious Xiang Yeyun over. He said sorrowfully, "Zhou Guang is dead!"

"There's nothing to be sad about. We're all risking our lives. Death is just a matter of time!" Zhu Penghai had long been prepared for death, and the death of his teammates only strengthened his belief in living on.

“Yes, we must live out the wonderful life that Zhou Guang didn’t get to live!” Qian Kai said solemnly.

A dark shadow flashed by, and Qian Kai, who had just finished speaking, along with Xiang Yeyun on his back, were blasted into a pile of garbage, their fate unknown.

This scene nearly drove Zhu Penghai to the brink of collapse. He had just promised to survive for his teammates, but now he was hit by the Holy Spirit Beast and his life was hanging in the balance, and it was two of them together.

"How dare an ant talk about life and death!" The Holy Spirit Beast's eyes were filled with cold indifference.

"The Light of Nature!"

Ning Yanlan reacted the fastest, immediately throwing a green beam of light at the two people far away. If they weren't treated, they would have almost no chance of survival.

"Die!" The Holy Spirit Beast lunged at Ning Yanlan.

"Protect her!" Jiang Yuan roared, then attacked the Holy Spirit Beast.

Despite his fear, Zhu Penghai listened to Jiang Yuan's words. The only one who could harm the Holy Spirit Beast was Ning Yanlan. To win, Ning Yanlan couldn't die, so he had to protect her.

At the same time, the figure rushing towards the Holy Spirit Beast in his eyes grew taller. There are two kinds of strength: external and internal. Jiang Yuan's actions at this moment undoubtedly proved that he was a madman, daring to launch an attack on a seventh-tier Holy Spirit Beast first. He was still an unawakened being.

A person who is strong on the outside may not be strong on the inside, but a person who is strong on the inside will inevitably be strong on the outside, because inner strength makes you fearless.

"Armor of the Earth!"

Zhu Penghai pushed Ning Yanlan away, but the Holy Spirit Beast still grazed the two of them, and the silver armor that Zhu Penghai had condensed on his body was shattered in an instant.

"Gale Cannon!" Ning Yanlan's spiritual energy surged in the face of adversity, and this cannon shot contained at least fifty points of spiritual energy.

When the white wind cannon struck the Holy Spirit Beast, it only created a burst of spiritual light. Ning Yanlan swallowed the Spirit Awakening Pill and attacked again. She wanted to complain to Jiang Yuan, "Is this what you call thirty points of strength? These thirty points are probably mixed with nuclear energy!"

In fact, she already knew that the Holy Spirit Beast had more than thirty points of strength. Perhaps with the addition of the power of the cultivation technique, the Holy Spirit Beast's strength would need to be increased by a zero after thirty points, making it three hundred points.

Although the attack could not inflict fatal damage on the Holy Spirit Beast, it still significantly hindered the Holy Spirit Beast's movements. At this moment, Jiang Yuan wielded a fourth-tier Iron-Bending Blade and slashed the Holy Spirit Beast several times.

"Damn, this skin is too thick!" Jiang Yuan's hand holding the knife went numb. Of the several cuts, only one actually cut into the Holy Spirit Beast's flesh, while the others didn't even break the skin.

"Insects!" The Holy Spirit Beast roared at Jiang Yuan, then launched a fierce attack on him.

"Ning Yanlan, observe the patterns on the Holy Spirit Beast's body. Where is its weakness?"
