Chapter 11: The Night of the Star Disaster (Part 2)
The decisive battle of this night has begun.
Although Gu Yinyue was holding a heavy sword and wearing armor, he still rushed towards the star disaster group like a swift beast, and instantly distanced himself from Beichen and the others. He could only see from afar the human figure with a fiery red light buried in the group of blue and purple light spots, which in the next moment aroused the screams of wild beasts and splashes of dark blood.
As a long-range attack weapon, Huomei has retreated to the rear to provide support attacks and protect the treatment team (including Pinhua) according to the pre-arranged instructions, while Changgun Hongye and Changqiang Lingshuang followed Beichen in human form, holding weapons and rushing forward quickly.
The Holy Spirit Martial Division and the Ninth Level Spirit Martial Division in front have also rushed into the Star Disaster Group. Next it is Beichen's group's turn -
"Mr. Hongye, Mr. Lingshuang, I have no experience using sticks or guns, so I have to ask you to act on your own. However, if possible, please join me in a group operation. I will do my best to protect you."
Before facing the approaching star disaster group, Beichen held Xiangying and whispered to the two weapons beside him. Hongye responded seriously, while Lingshuang just snorted heavily.
That’s right!
Among the star disaster group, a giant bear as tall as a small building aimed at Beichen and his group, roaring and swung its claws down, but it seemed that what Gu Yinyue said was right. Although it came with great momentum, its speed was not very fast. Beichen dodged lightly, trotted around it for half a circle, jumped up, jumped to the waist of the giant bear, then grabbed the hair that was as hard as steel needles and kicked hard, holding Xiangying upside down, and stabbed the sword hard, piercing it straight into the muscles of the giant bear's neck!
Ling Shuang and Hong Ye were stunned. She was a level five possessed Moon Envoy, and she had actually managed to stab the opponent's vitals with a single strike?! If Xiang Ying hadn't been so low level, the giant bear might have been killed in one blow!
The giant bear roared wildly as expected. Beichen, holding Xiangying, was thrown around by the giant bear and became a little unsteady. In a panic, she yelled at Lingshuang:
"Ling Shuang!"
“──”
Ling Shuang seemed to understand and jumped towards her. In mid-air, she changed back into a gun shape and was grasped by Beichen's left hand. Then, a cold light flashed from the tip of the gun, and the giant bear's neck was pierced through again.
The giant bear's huge body began to shake, and Hongye, who was paying attention to the surrounding battle situation below, immediately stretched out a long stick and hit the giant bear's left foot hard. Immediately, the giant bear's body tilted and fell down with a bang, hitting several bull monsters that were about to pounce on it. The weight directly made several of them foam at the mouth.
Beichen used both hands to pull Xiangying and Lingshuang out of the giant bear's neck. She was breathing heavily, and her hands holding the weapons were shaking slightly. She even stumbled when she jumped off the giant bear's corpse. Fortunately, Hongye, who was covering for her, blocked a giant wolf's sneak attack for her, so she was not injured.
Don't be fooled by her smooth movements just now. This was just an instinctive reaction trained during the hunting in the Lasha Forest. Although her body can attack flexibly, she has not been able to deal with the psychological pressure she faces well. However, now that she has successfully knocked down a monster that is more than ten times her size, she is slightly getting into the state.
After wiping the blood off his face, Beichen let go of Lingshuang. Lingshuang turned back into human form and glared at her dissatisfiedly.
She took a deep breath and looked around. The surroundings had completely turned into a battlefield. The Spiritual Martial Division members were divided into several teams and were fighting against the possessed Moon Envoys. There was a leopard-shaped creature as big as a truck, a rhino-shaped creature as tall as a two-story building, and three giant bears surrounding Beichen and his men.
"Damn, why are there so many high-level ones this time!"
Ling Shuang roared angrily. Beichen chose to defeat the leopard-shaped one first after weighing the pros and cons in an instant. Her intuition told her that since this thing was in the shape of a leopard, it should be very fast and its lethality must be relatively large.
“This way!”
She lifted Xiangying and rushed towards the leopard. The leopard immediately growled, arched its body, and roared loudly at Beichen, pouncing at him like lightning!
"Master, be careful!"
Not good—it’s too late to hide!
At the critical moment, Beichen calmed down. She narrowed her eyes, and instead of slowing down, she lowered her body, picked up her sword and rushed forward!
A gust of foul-smelling wind blew overhead, and Beichen's back narrowly missed the leopard's jaws. The leopard's bite missed, and she was now positioned just below the leopard's belly—a golden opportunity! Without even having time to stand up, she thrust upward with all her might at Ying, screaming as blue-purple blood sprayed all over her head and face!
The attack was successful, and she immediately turned sideways and rolled several times to get out from under the leopard. The leopard, which was injured in the abdomen, jumped back angrily and faced Beichen again, raising its sharp right claw and swung it down - Beichen jumped back a few steps in embarrassment, and his right claw hit the ground half a meter in front of her. She immediately stabbed downward diagonally, and Xiangying's sword nailed its claws firmly to the ground!
"Hirano!!"
"Okay!"
The injured and painful leopard opened its mouth and began to condense the Star Spirit Cannon in its mouth. At this time, Hongye, who had transformed into a weapon, had already come into Beichen's hands. Beichen let go of Xiangying, held one end of the long stick with both hands, and swung it at the leopard's huge head with all his strength - with a loud muffled "bang", the leopard was hit so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, and the Star Spirit Cannon was abruptly interrupted!
"Towards the shadow!"
Hongye regained his human form and ran to help Lingshuang, who was confronting the rhino. Xiangying, who had regained his human form, had returned to Beichen and transformed into a weapon in her hand. The exchange of weapons was completed in seconds. Beichen raised the sword and slashed it upwards, cutting a large gash in the leopard's mouth, revealing the hideous and bloody fangs beneath the skin.
Roar──
The leopard's eyes were bloodshot as it pounced on Beichen again, but due to its injuries, its movements became much slower. Beichen stopped attacking and simply dodged the leopard quickly, leading it towards Lingshuang behind him.
Ling Shuang behind him immediately understood Beichen's intention, and she turned the direction of the spear that was riding on the huge rhino horn, and then slashed it hard in the direction of Beichen - the resistance faced by the rhino suddenly disappeared, and it could not brake, and rushed in the direction guided by Ling Shuang, while Beichen on the opposite side seized the opportunity to pounce to the side!
An extremely tragic sound of flesh being pierced was heard, and the leopard was lifted into the air by the rhino horn, and then smashed down heavily. When it landed on the ground, its colorful intestines flowed out directly.
The rhinoceros, whose center of gravity was unstable due to the huge body of its own kind, was hit hard on the head by Hongye more than ten times before it could turn around. It was knocked unconscious and fell sideways. Its skin was too thick for Xiangying to stab. Lingshuang stepped forward and stabbed the huge head from the side. Dark yellow brain matter splattered out, splashing the gorgeous gun with spots all over.
"here you go!"
Although they had a conflict in the past, Beichen clapped his hands with Ling Shuang beside him because of his cooperation.
The three giant bears on the other side, despite the support and attack of Huomei in the distance, failed to successfully launch a sneak attack on Beichen and his two companions. Instead, they were covered with wounds from the fireballs. So Beichen and his two companions each fought one bear. After three minutes, the giant bear, which had suffered more than 30 large wounds from Beichen and Xiangying in the fight, finally fell to the ground with a scream of humiliation and anger due to excessive blood loss.
The blue-purple spots of light gradually dimmed one after another.
The roars of the Lingwu Division, filled with fighting spirit, became louder and louder, one after another.
Being in the shadow of so many giant beast corpses, the advantage of humans' small size was fully demonstrated. The hand-to-hand combat gradually turned into guerrilla warfare. Many Lingwu officers hid under the corpses of the giant beasts to block the sight of the possessed moon messengers, and then waited for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. After succeeding, they hid again in the shelter made of nearby corpses, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Beichen followed suit and, with the cooperation of Hongye and Lingshuang, killed two rhinos and a leopard again, and saved a Lingwusi and two weapons from the leopard's claws.
In fact, her physical strength should have been used up long ago, but under the influence of the bloody and murderous environment around her, she no longer felt tired - this was probably the "bloodthirsty" state commonly seen on the battlefield.
But Xiang Ying knew her physical strength very well, so he calmly reminded her to use the recovery spirit crystals given by Ping Hua to replenish some physical strength. But when Beichen broke a spirit crystal and had no time to enjoy the warm light, a very loud and extremely cold roar came from not far away.
“It’s the Disaster Emperor!!”
Ling Shuang yelled at Bei Chen: "Let's go and take a look!!"
Several people walked through the pile of corpses and approached the source of the roar. They finally saw the true face of the Disaster King: a three-story-tall lion-shaped monster with pale marks embedded on its head, chest, and claws. There were also multiple sharp horns made of crystals on its back. It was obvious that it was a difficult creature to deal with.
Beichen clearly saw that the brown-haired young man who seemed to be from the Holy Spirit Martial Arts Division could not withstand the attack of its claws and was knocked back. The other Holy Spirit Martial Arts Divisions did not dare to move forward. The only ones who confronted it were Gu Yinyue holding the Longyun, the red-haired girl from the ninth-level Holy Spirit Martial Arts Division, and the crossbow Naraka that was gathering purple light in the distance.
Roar────
A roar that pierced the sky came from the mouth of the Disaster Emperor, shaking Beichen so much that he couldn't bear the noise and covered his ears. Even from such a distance, it made people feel stuffy in the chest. The impact on Gu Yinyue and the girl who were close at hand must have been even greater.
As expected, the girl covered her chest and took a step back. The lion immediately stared at her and spoke. A purple light flashed, and the Star Spirit Cannon fired directly at her!
What a fast launch speed!!
The two long swords in the girl's hands immediately overlapped on her chest to block the Protoss cannon, but it only lasted for a few seconds. In the end, she was still unable to give in. She staggered back a few times and bumped into a corpse. A stream of blood flowed out of her mouth and she fainted silently. The long sword immediately turned into a tall and thin man with black hair, who hugged his master and jumped back several times, withdrawing from the battle circle.
It was not good. Only Gu Yinyue was left. Beichen grabbed Xiangying and prepared to rush forward, but was stopped by Hongye. Hongye shook his head at her, his eyes seemed to tell her to wait for the right opportunity before attacking.
At this moment, a blood-red crescent moon attracted Beichen's attention.
No, that wasn't a crescent moon. It was the beautiful afterimage of the giant sword Longyun drawn in the night sky. The bright red moonlight hit the Disaster Emperor's body, splashing a small piece of blood. The Disaster Emperor immediately turned around and attacked Gu Yinyue -
Biting, pouncing, leaping, sweeping, and firing Star Spirit Cannons, the swift and unstoppable torrent of attacks, Gu Yinyue dodged, blocked, and waited for an opportunity to counterattack with his giant sword. Although it did not cause much damage, the Disaster Emperor not only did not hurt him, but was cut countless times on his body. A large amount of blood stained his pale blue fur. Then, at this moment, Gu Yinyue suddenly jumped back a few steps and roared:
“Naraka!!”
In response to him, a pale purple light column with a diameter of one meter came rapidly from a distance and hit the head of the Disaster Emperor squarely. In an instant, a strange cracking sound and bursts of foul smell were heard - a decisive attack!
The Disaster Emperor screamed.
It raised its front paws, stood up, and with its bloody head facing the sky, it roared at the moon, and then when the people around it covered their ears, it rushed in a certain direction!
It was about to escape, and the direction it fled in was actually the direction where Beichen and his men were ambushing! !
“Now!!”
Beichen and the other two rushed out immediately. Hongye shouted and swung his long stick at its front paw, causing it to stumble and fall. Lingshuang immediately stepped forward and stabbed it in the eye. The Disaster King tilted its head sharply and grunted, biting the tip of Lingshuang's spear. Hongye followed closely, hitting it so hard that one of its front paws fell to the ground in pain, causing its entire huge body to lose its balance and almost slip to the ground.
It was a great opportunity. Beichen thrust the tip of Xiang Ying's sword into the exposed chest of the Disaster Emperor, then let out a loud and clear shout. Holding Xiang Ying tightly, she ran forward for nearly ten meters, leaving a long cut. The entire abdomen of the Disaster Emperor was completely ripped open by her!
The giant body fell to the ground, thrashing and struggling madly. The Disaster King's eyes were red as he pointed his head at Beichen and opened his mouth—another Star Spirit Cannon!
"Owner!!"
Because the speed of the Disaster Emperor's Star Spirit Cannon was too fast and there was no way to dodge it, Xiang Ying lay across Beichen's chest and resisted for three seconds. Xiang Ying groaned in pain, and the sword made a crisp sound again!
"Fool!!"
Beichen retracted his sword with a flick of his wrist, then fell backwards, clutching Xiangying's heels. Using an extremely risky method, he dodged the remaining Star Spirit cannons. Looking down, he saw a large chunk missing from the middle of Xiangying's sword!
"Big idiot!!"
Beichen's eyes suddenly turned red. Without saying a word, she took out the star spirit mineral solution from her pocket and poured the whole bottle on the damaged part of Xiangying's sword. After a few seconds, Xiangying seemed to let out a long sigh and spoke in a low voice.
"Master, don't worry, I'm fine. I've already started repairing it. Calm down."
"Um."
After sniffing, Beichen nodded in a trembling voice.
At this moment, Ling Shuang's anxious shouting sounded from behind:
"The Star Cannon again!! Get out of the way!"
Before Ling Shuang finished her words, the blue-purple light rushed towards Beichen again, and at this moment, a figure rushed to Beichen and blocked the impact of the light beam for her.
...It’s Gu Yinyue and Longyun.
Beichen gave them a grateful look, hugged Xiangying and stood up. Looking around, he saw that the Disaster Emperor was actually stumbling to his feet with a pile of intestines exposed. The pale crystals on his body had turned blood red, and he was now frantically firing the Protoss Cannon everywhere - Beichen and others immediately found a larger corpse as a cover and squatted down.
"what to do."
Ling Shuang rushed to Beichen and Gu Yinyue and asked in a low voice.
"Wait until its star power is exhausted, Xiang Beichen, and you go up and give it the final blow."
Beichen was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood that Gu Yinyue wanted Xiangying to absorb a large amount of star power from the Disaster Emperor and then advance. But was it really okay to give her such a good opportunity?
"Go ahead. I've killed more than twenty of this level."
As if understanding Beichen's thoughts, Longyun spoke lazily in Gu Yinyue's hand, as if he didn't care about the star power on the Disaster Emperor at all.
“…Okay, thank you.”
It was redundant to say more. Beichen smiled brightly at Gu Yinyue with gratitude, and looked down at Xiang Ying - he had repaired it to the point where only a small gap remained. This Star Spirit Mineral Solution was really useful.
The power of the Star Spirit Cannons gradually decreased. Beichen saw that the time was almost right, so he gave Gu Yinyue a look that said "I'm going to do it", then he arched his body and shot out quickly - avoiding the attack of the front claws, luring it to bite down, and then he saw the opportunity and stabbed it in the eye with a sword -
The Disaster Emperor raised his head in pain, and Beichen was lifted up with his sword, causing the crowd watching the battle to exclaim in surprise!
The whirring sound of the wind blew past her. She knew that the Disaster King was trying hard to throw her off him. Her mind was blank, but her body had already started to move on its own. The hand holding the sword supported her body and spun in the air. Beichen grabbed the hair on its neck and hung on it.
Once her right hand had a firm grip, she desperately pulled Xiang Ying's sword towards the center of the Disaster Emperor's eye socket. She felt a piercing sensation as Xiang Ying's sword completely pierced through the Disaster Emperor's brain!
The Disaster King could no longer scream, and only a hoarse gurgling sound came from his throat. He finally shook his head and struggled for a few times, then slowly fell down, raising a large cloud of blood mist and dust.
It worked.
Beichen collapsed instantly and didn't even have the strength to pull Xiang Ying out of the Disaster Emperor's body. Covered in blood and brain matter, he lay limply and dirty on the Disaster Emperor's body, motionless.
...This is a star disaster.
She looked up at the blue-purple moon and gasped for breath.
The square was silent for ten seconds, and then suddenly erupted into earth-shaking cheers!!
The Emperor of Disasters is dead, and the Star Disaster is over! They've successfully survived until the end of the Star Disaster Night! As the Spiritual Martial Division cheered, the lights in the city behind the square quickly lit up one by one. In the distance, the celebratory voices of the powerless civilians, women, and children rang out. Beichen heard someone loudly praising the Spiritual Martial Division's bravery.
Ling Shuang came over to help her pull Xiang Ying out of the Disaster Emperor's body. Before she could say anything, Pin Hua, with a dirty face, ran over excitedly and hugged Bei Chen, crying and saying that she was scared to death.
After a while, Gu Yinyue also came over, stretched one hand into the abdominal cavity of the Disaster Emperor, and stirred it expressionlessly, making a disgusting sound. Then, he expressionlessly took out a palm-sized object with shiny crystals that looked like blood vessels and fat from a pile of intestines and unknown organs. He ignored Beichen's twitching mouth and threw it into her arms - probably the Disaster Emperor's star core.
Hongye and Huomei smiled and congratulated Beichen, and with a hint of pride, they exaggerated the battle to the guild mates who had gathered around them.
Some people also found the bodies of their comrades and were whispering words of mourning in a tearful voice.
The square was bustling with people. Many people in uniform rushed in from the city and began to clean up the corpses. Many Lingwu Divisions began to recover the star cores in the giant beasts. However, Beichen was still tired and motionless. He lay in Xiang Ying's arms with a bloody face, looking at the figures around him and smiling slightly.
No one noticed that there was someone on the high platform in the night.
A man with long snow-white hair and blood-red eyes, holding a huge black sickle in his hand, looked at the figures near the corpse of the Disaster Emperor and smiled with an ambiguous smile.
"interesting."
He uttered a brief comment and then disappeared like a ghost in the night wind.
