While Ai Yu was hesitating, the gentleman on the ground regained consciousness: "[Disappear.]" The spear stuck in his body disappeared, and the gentleman stood up from the ground in a twisted posture: "I was scared to death, I thought I was going to die. Hehehe..."
Ai Yu quickly retreated three or four meters and looked at the gentleman vigilantly.
No, as long as it is a living thing, there is no such thing as an organism that cannot be killed. Due to the limitations of genes, certain cells cannot replicate and regenerate after death. The remaining cells will also make mistakes, age, and die due to increasing number of replications. Therefore, all life will eventually die, and accidents will also accelerate the speed of this process.
If super-class star beasts didn't have this limitation, then they would have transcended human understanding of life. But since lower-class star beasts could be killed, it was clear that the star beast species did, to a certain extent, meet human definitions of life.
It’s just that the special-grade star beasts are special.
So how should we kill the creature in front of us?
Ai Yu's gaze fell on the gentleman's head. It was so hard that even bullets could not penetrate it. It was very likely that it was the gentleman's [heart].
"What are you thinking about?" The gentleman's wounds healed quickly. He took off his white silk gloves, revealing his dark hands. Then, with his right hand, he pulled out a long whip from his left palm. "Miss Ai Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you. It seems that you prefer close combat. If that's the case, I'll have no choice but to accompany you to the end."
"【strengthen.】"
Ai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the gentleman's words could not only command attacks on others, but also affect himself.
This is really a bit perverted.
The gentleman cracked his whip and straightened himself up: "Let us continue the dance."
In ancient times, an iron whip could be worth a million soldiers. Ai Yu kept his distance while thinking. This weapon was a bit tricky.
But the gentleman's long whip made it as straight as an arrow, and with the power of a spear, it stabbed towards Ai Yu.
Ai Yu sprouted wings on his back and flew into the air, dodging the whip. He landed on a high place and summoned Zhang Ji. He then said, "Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, enter the battle!"
"I, Old Sun, am here!" A golden monkey, slightly shorter than Ai Yu, stepped out from the void. It had a pointed mouth and shrunken cheeks, golden eyes, and wore golden armor, a golden crown on its head, and held a golden cudgel in its hand. As soon as it came out, its eyes locked onto the gentleman on the ground, and it turned over and jumped down to face him.
Ai Yu grabbed Zhang Ji and managed to stand steady. Zhang Ji, standing beside him, strongly disapproved of Ai Yu's actions: "My lord, you should still take care of your own health."
"It's okay." Ai Yu thought about it and decided that to deal with a long whip, one must use a long stick. If you ask which famous general in history was good at using a long stick, Ai Yu really couldn't remember it in a hurry. But if you ask who used a long stick the best in literary works, many people would probably think of that name first.
Sun Wukong!
Ai Yu felt the power in his body disappearing rapidly, and even Zhang Ji could not make up for it much: "Brother Monkey, hurry up."
Otherwise, if the star beast is not killed, Ai Yu will first exhaust himself and then summon Qin Yueren.
The star beast on the other side was clearly quite powerful and difficult to deal with. Even against Sun Wukong, it could still fight back and forth. The surrounding buildings were severely damaged by the battle between the two. Ai Yu frowned, "Brother Monkey, hit him on the head."
Sun Wukong was annoyed by the black fly jumping around, so he made his golden cudgel ten times bigger and hit the gentleman with it.
Ai Yu was too late to stop him, and watched helplessly as several buildings were destroyed by Sun Wukong. Her fingers trembled. She thought, probably, she wouldn't be punished...
"Monkey, be careful not to destroy the buildings."
Sun Wukong sighed and said, "You are asking for too much, little girl."
Ai Yu was helpless. She was terrified that after the battle, Li Yuzhen would yell at her, "Look at what you've protected!" She remembered clearly how Li Yuzhen had been timid and cautious in his fight with the poet, protecting the buildings of Huadu. Then she looked at herself...
Although Ai Yu had reminded him, Sun Wukong obviously did not listen. The two had disappeared from Ai Yu's sight. Ai Yu felt that even with two wet nurses, her own strength was not enough, and her vision went dark.
"My Lord, are you alright?"
The crackling sounds of buildings being destroyed could be heard all around. Ai Yu expressed her exhaustion: "I might be fine, but others might be."
How should she explain to Li Yuzhen after the fight?
“Click—”
At this moment, there was another cracking sound from the ground. Ai Yu almost fell down, and Qin Yueren and Zhang Ji supported her together.
"What's going on? Is the earthquake in Huadu still going on?" Ai Yu frowned, looking for Sun Wukong who had disappeared somewhere. He thought that the Monkey King should not have made it to the ground.
Thinking of something, Ai Yu immediately called Li Yuzhen: "Teacher, what happened to the earthquake in Huadu?" Li Yuzhen's sari leaf should be very convenient for checking such things.
"Someone replaced the soil beneath Flower City, making the geological structure unstable. This is why the partial collapse occurred. It wasn't an earthquake. I'm looking for the culprit. You continue to eliminate the star beasts that have infiltrated Flower City."
Ai Yu looked at the building that was destroyed beyond recognition by Monkey King: "Ah, good..."
“Click—”
Before Ai Yu could react, her feet suddenly felt empty. She quickly flew up and looked down. The area had also collapsed, the electrical circuits were damaged, and everything was pitch black. Ai Yu blinked. Could it be said that the collapse of these buildings was not her fault?
Well, people can't, or at least shouldn't...
Ai Yu sensed Sun Wukong's location, grabbed Qin Yueren with one hand and Zhang Ji with the other, and flew over with difficulty.
Zhang Ji was somewhat helpless: "My Lord, you don't have to force yourself."
"It's okay." Ai Yu summoned a griffin, and the three of them sat on the griffin's back. Ai Yu felt a lot weaker.
Zhang Ji grabbed Ai Yu's wrist and felt his pulse. "My Lord, you are not in good condition. My suggestion is to take back the monkey."
Ai Yu pursed her lips, hesitant.
Although Monkey King consumes a lot of energy, he is very powerful. Moreover, the battle has been going on for so long, and suddenly changing players makes Ai Yu unsure of their strength.
Inside the high-rise building, the gentleman had already taken off his suit jacket to move around.
Every time Sun Wukong was about to hit him on the head, the Word Spirit would interrupt him: "This is so annoying!"
The gentleman chuckled and said, "[Stand back.]"
Seeing the distance between the two, and the golden cudgel about to hit the gentleman, Sun Wukong was thrown back by an invisible force. Sun Wukong stopped where he was, grinning, "You monster are so annoying!" He couldn't use too many skills. Firstly, Ai Yu had given the order, and secondly, Ai Yu's body couldn't bear it.
It’s so annoying!
Sun Wukong grabbed a handful of his own hair and blew it out: "Children, come on!"
If you can’t catch one, then catch them all!
Spells must be used sparingly, so use the human wave tactic!
Not far away, Ai Yu felt her vision go dark and she almost fainted. She clutched her thigh tightly. What was Monkey Brother doing?
