Luo Fentian was severely injured and knocked to the ground, spitting blood. He clenched his fists but was helpless. Under these circumstances, he could only let that person take away the magical beast.
Xie Zhou was still unwilling to admit defeat, and stood up directly, pointing his sword at the boy, "Although I don't know where you come from, or why you look so much like my disciple Hua Zilai, I will absolutely not allow you to take away the magical beast."
She could now clearly feel the power within her body slowly draining away, for some unknown reason. It could be due to the unspoken understanding among those around her, or perhaps she had expended too much energy earlier.
Ultimately, if it came down to a fight now, she might not be a match for the boy in front of her.
Therefore, the only way is to hold out until the very end and never let the monster escape from your sight.
Although the guy in front of me looks innocent, his purpose is definitely not simple. Taking away the magical beast may be to obtain the power inside her body.
The elders sent me here to exterminate the monsters and prevent more people from falling deeper into the abyss.
If the power of monsters is so great, and everyone wants to absorb it, wouldn't the world descend into chaos?
If things really develop to this point, the sect will probably find it difficult to intervene, since everyone involved is extremely powerful, especially those who have absorbed the power of magical beasts.
The fact that someone can take it away and absorb its power means that the other party is quite powerful. If this is done successfully, the consequences will be unimaginable, and this person's strength will increase dramatically in the next hundred years.
At that point, it won't be something that can be dealt with by people working together.
"Xie Zhou, oh right, I think that guy called you Xie Zhou just now. But I advise you not to make a futile struggle. With your current strength, you have no way to fight me. I don't want to get entangled with you anymore. If you want, just pretend you didn't see me and we can go our separate ways."
The boy stood up, dusted off his hands, looked at the monster lying on the ground, and couldn't help but frown.
With such immense power, who would be willing to give up so easily? The woman in front of him might just be after its physical strength.
He speaks with such a righteous air, but he's nothing but a selfish and greedy guy.
Xie Zhou struggled to keep himself from collapsing, but his legs were already powerless. After being hit by the powerful light wave from the magical beast, his legs had been numb and were probably cracked by now.
But in this situation, if he were to back down even a step, the boy would simply leave with the magical beast.
This is not a situation anyone wants to see, so we can only stand still and see what he does next.
Just then, another voice suddenly came from inside Medicine Ghost Valley, "It seems I'm a bit late. There's quite a commotion here. I hope you won't mind me getting involved!"
Song Wu entered from the side with his men at some unknown time, and it was unclear how long he had been observing before finally coming out at the opportune moment.
Xie Zhou's head was throbbing more and more. He hadn't expected things to get so messy. He should have taken the initiative and eliminated the monster earlier.
But just when he was about to succeed after all his hard work, a young man suddenly appeared, and now Song Wu followed closely behind.
Now, if it wants to get rid of the magical beast, it probably won't be so simple. After all, the purpose of this group of people coming here is very simple: they all want to absorb the powerful energy from the magical beast to accelerate their progress over the past hundred years.
Xie Zhou could clearly see the sinister aura emanating from Song Wu's eyes, as if he would never give up until he obtained the magical beast.
Although Song Wu is a good person at heart, he is now a little impatient and wants to obtain the power of the magical beast. After all, it is a power that has been in front of him for hundreds of years. Rather than handing it over to someone else, he would rather let the beast refine it himself.
Xie Zhou felt somewhat helpless. He turned to look at the people around him, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He had never known that these people had such great ambitions.
But now, when faced with shared interests, no one is willing to back down; everyone wants to obtain the power of the monsters.
They were completely disregarding the suffering they would face. Right now, everyone wanted to subdue the monsters as soon as possible to use them and increase their power, which was only a few hundred years old.
Song Wu took out the treasure bottle and waved it in the air, intending to put the demonic beast into the bottle, but suddenly found that the power was uneven and vast.
The aura of the magical beast seemed unwilling to enter Baoping, emitting huge waves of light.
Xie Zhou clenched his fists, unable to bear the scramble from the crowd any longer, and unleashed the power of the goddess.
Everyone felt a little uneasy, after all, once the goddess's power was unleashed, the combined strength of everyone present would be no match for her.
Song Wu still felt somewhat unwilling and stepped forward to continue subduing magical beasts, but suddenly discovered that his power had been controlled by someone.
"Xie Zhou, we've known each other for so long, are you really unwilling to fulfill this small wish for me?"
The other party ignored him and instead turned around and healed Luo Fentian, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Seeing this situation, and knowing he couldn't unleash his own power, Song Wu, seething with anger, yelled at Xie Zhou, "Xie Zhou, what strength do you think you have? You only have the power of the goddess within you. Once you lose that power, what can you do? I advise you to release me right now, or don't blame me for breaking off all ties with you."
Even those who were once close to him are now unwilling to relinquish their interests. He fears that what is rightfully his will be taken away by others; after all, what lies before him represents a century's worth of power, not a small sum, and he doesn't want to concern himself with it for even a few decades.
The improvement that can be achieved in a century is something I could never attain even if I dreamed of it day and night!
With all of this, who in this world can compare to me? I could even say I'm among the top few in the sect.
From now on, what are elders? What are sects? Who can compare to Song Wu?
But all of this is ultimately just greed. Once people have this terrible tendency, no one will be willing to help others succeed.
Xie Zhou clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart, and told himself that the person in front of him was just temporarily blinded by greed.
He wasn't like this before. His original appearance was completely different from his current one. If you didn't try to distinguish them maliciously, no one would want to link these two unrelated people together.
Xie Zhou felt as if his heart had been frozen, and he felt cold inside.
