Ch 37: Code Name Beast King, a Grievance entity, the undying Beast King
“Everyone, fall back!”
“This battle is not something you and I can interfere with.”
Yang Xuan looked at the other side with reluctance; they could only retreat to reduce casualties, heading towards other cities.
They are only fit to observe these types of monsters from afar; if Leo can kill this monster, it would be the best outcome.
“Buzz buzz!”
That Centaur also seemed to have mastered Spatial Leap; several rays appeared beside Chen Yi.
Chen Yi dodged to his rear, but the Beast King seemed to know Chen Yi’s every movement.
A ray knocked Leo back and buried him in the rubble.
“Leo!!”
“Leo?”
The hearts of everyone were gradually enveloped by a black mist—it was despair. How could humans possibly defeat such a monster?
“Hmph.”
Chen Yi took a deep breath, his fighting spirit brimming as he looked at the Beast King.
In an instant, Chen Yi appeared before the Beast King, landing a Straight Punch followed by a Whip Kick, aiming directly at the Beast King’s face.
“Roar!”
The Beast King roared in pain, and several black-gold rays laced with thunder flew towards Chen Yi.
Chen Yi quickly ran to the side, the rays pursuing him. The number of Teleportation uses for the Light Particles was limited; he had to conserve them.
The powerful black-gold rays instantly leveled everything around them, directly shaving off an entire mountaintop from a distant mountain.
Chen Yi threw an Energy Light Sphere; then, the Beast King absorbed it, erupting with even more terrifying energy.
“Leo Lux Ray!”
A fiery red concentrated ray shot out, but the Beast King was unafraid and directly absorbed the ray into its body.
Just as the Beast King was about to unleash its energy, Chen Yi seized this opportunity to quickly approach and interrupt it. Then he engaged the Beast King in hand-to-hand combat; in terms of skill, the Beast King was clearly outmatched by Chen Yi.
The Beast King has three skills, which Chen Yi has basically figured out:
First, the Beast King has very high defense; it has mastered Spatial Leap, and it can appear beside Chen Yi at any time.
Second, the Beast King is not only physically strong but can also negate ray skills.
Third, it seems to be able to adapt to battle very quickly.
Chen Yi clearly felt that the Beast King was constantly learning, and its attack style was even somewhat similar to his own.
Chen Yi suspected this was also one of the Beast King’s skills.
Chen Yi controlled each attack with perfect balance, but the feeling of strain became increasingly apparent.
The next second, the Beast King appeared behind Chen Yi, its two hands grabbing Chen Yi’s hands.
Its lower two hands tried to grab Chen Yi’s legs; if it succeeded, Chen Yi would truly be finished.
“No good!”
Everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell on Chen Yi; if Leo failed, they truly had no hope.
Chen Yi seemed to see the Beast King’s intentions. Enduring the pain in his arms, he channeled energy into his feet and executed a reverse hook kick.
“Boom!”
The Beast King’s lion head was instantly severed by this blow.
“Roar!”
The Beast King roared in pain and released its grip. Chen Yi seized the opportunity, channeled energy into his right leg, and unleashed a series of high-flying Whip Kicks, followed by a sidestepping punch to knock the Beast King back.
“Well done!”
Watching the video, the crowd saw Leo escape danger and collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
“Roar!”
The Beast King roared in pain, a strange black mist enveloping it; Chen Yi could only retreat.
Then, the main head was no longer Du Shi but Mi Lu, and the Beast King’s energy underwent a qualitative change.
Chen Yi stared intently at the Beast King, meaning, “Does this thing have five lives?”
Those eyes seemed to be able to enthrall the mind; Chen Yi shook his head to regain his clarity.
In a blink of an eye, the Beast King once again mimicked Chen Yi’s movements—a Straight Punch plus a hook punch, all six hands moving simultaneously.
“Tiger Form, Crane Form.”
Chen Yi dodged and counterattacked, but he found that ordinary attacks were no longer effective against the Beast King.
A dark gray laser erupted from the Beast King’s eyes, this laser being even more terrifying than before.
Caught off guard, Chen Yi took the attack head-on, instantly sent flying. A hand reached out from space, grabbing and pinning him, delivering punch after punch.
After spinning him several times, it threw him away.
“It’s over…”
Everyone’s hearts completely sank.
“Older Brother…”
Feili worriedly looked at the red figure.
“Damn it.”
Chen Yi felt intense pain; gritting his teeth, he crawled out of the rubble. This thing really treated him like a vegetable, but don’t get too arrogant.
Suddenly, Chen Yi reappeared beside the Beast King, who instantly fired a dark gray laser.
Chen Yi dodged sideways, seizing the opportunity to use a Palm Blade to sever the energy source.
“Leo Kick.”
A spinning kick charged with energy knocked the Beast King back.
Chen Yi seized the chance, attacking like a fierce tiger, blow after blow, giving the Beast King no chance to breathe.
“Tiger Form!”
“Leopard Form!”
Chen Yi seized the opportunity and destroyed the eyes on the Beast King’s hands that could fire lasers.
Chen Yi hoisted the Beast King’s entire body and slammed it forward.
“Leo Lux Ray!”
A close-range ray; the Beast King didn’t even have a chance to react, and Mi Lu’s head instantly disappeared.
Chen Yi retreated, taking a deep breath. If he wasn’t mistaken, the next form would be Mountain Bear.
But at this time, the Beast King had reached the peak of its Grievance, completing its highest level of evolution.
It had actually transformed into a humanoid form, and its head was no longer its original form but shrouded in black mist, with something vaguely visible inside.
Its body still had six arms, but its legs had become two; countless eyes appeared in the center of its body.
They blinked, emitting a strange aura.
“Damn it, something’s wrong.”
Chen Yi steadied his mind, carefully observing its next move.
“It moved!?”
It was actually mimicking Chen Yi’s movements; the Beast King’s figure flashed, and several figures appeared on its body.
Mountain Bear, Mi Lu…
They seemed to be struggling inside, trying to escape.
In an instant, the Beast King reappeared before Chen Yi, Straight Punch, Whip Kick, Flying Kick…
Each movement was performed to perfection by the Beast King, even the Five Form Fist was imitated skillfully.
For a time, Chen Yi was on the defensive, because he could basically confirm that this thing not only had extremely strong learning ability but also extremely terrifying adaptability.
Zhou Chuyi watched their fight, finding it somewhat familiar; she subconsciously looked at Feili.
“Chen Yi is here; what’s going on over there?”
Chen Yi taught her a censored version to prevent Zhou Chuyi from seeing the flaws, but now, she could actually perceive it acutely.
“Then come, let’s see who’s tougher.”
A fierce glint flashed in Chen Yi’s eyes, and Leo’s inexhaustible energy surged forth.
“Dragon Holding Pearl, Dragon Form Starting Stance.”
Chen Yi made a fist with his right hand, his left hand in a Dragon Claw position in front of his chest.
The Beast King charged forward, its many fists accompanied by black energy.
The opponent had six hands, while Chen Yi only had two; the only way to win was to be faster and more ruthless.
The afterimages of Chen Yi’s fists constantly appeared; he deflected force, channeled energy, and countered force with force.
As Chen Yi’s moves constantly changed, he gradually gained the upper hand, forcing the Beast King to retreat.
Chen Yi pressed his advantage, giving the Beast King no chance to recover; he could feel his body constantly breaking through its limits.
Chen Yi broke through, but the Beast King was also breaking through.
But the most terrifying thing about the Beast King was that if you didn’t kill it, it would continue to grow indefinitely.
Because the Grievance didn’t dissipate, it would never disappear unless it could be eliminated in one blow.
But Chen Yi always had a way; he didn’t believe this thing’s endurance was that strong.
