133: Brother, don't worry

Xiang Tan poked her head out and whispered, "It's a fourth-tier Demonic Beast."

Xu Sanyan pondered. A fourth-tier Demonic Beast was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm, offering limited help on the field. However, the appearance of this Gold-Devouring Beast united Zhou Longsheng's Cultivator group, making Luo Yu and the others' resistance even more difficult.

Hearing Luo Yu's shout, Xu Sanyan thought for a moment, then slapped Xiang Tan on the back of her neck. Xiang Tan's eyes rolled back, and she immediately fainted.

Xu Sanyan grabbed Xiang Tan and jumped out, shouting, "I'm here!"

Luo Yu spared a glance and saw him holding Xiang Tan, assuming Xu Sanyan had gone to chase her. "Junior Brother, quickly make your move! This time, we must eliminate Zhou Longsheng in one go!"

"Senior Brother, rest assured."

Xu Sanyan nodded heavily, casually tossing Xiang Tan aside. A mass of blood Qi emerged, completely enveloping him. When he reappeared, he had already manifested his Dao body.

"Ow!"

The Gold-Devouring Beast on the side let out a low growl, its entire body emerging from the forest. It was two zhang tall, resembling a wolf magnified several times, with a brownish-black coat and sharp claws on its four feet glowing with an eerie light.

Its slender mouth parts exposed rows of fangs, and a scaly armor protected its vital organs on its chest.

Its cold eyes scanned around, finally settling on Zhang Sheng's side, which had more people. Its massive body silently pounced.

Zhang Sheng had also long since manifested his Dao body, like a giant, with two lumps of flesh on his shoulders and barbs covering his arms.

In terms of size alone, he was not much shorter than the Gold-Devouring Beast, but he did not resist head-on. As he dodged to the side, he pointed at the immobile Chi Yu and the other two. "Lure it over there."

Luo Yu's expression changed, and he shouted anxiously, "Senior Brother Xu, quickly stop Zhang Sheng!"

"Good!" Xu Sanyan bent his knees slightly, suddenly exerting force, and his four arms ferociously charged towards Zhang Sheng.

The battlefield was quite chaotic at this moment. Luo Yu and the others tried their best to block the opposing forces, while Chi Yu and the other two remained fully focused on controlling the Dragon Capturing Net to entangle Zhou Longsheng.

Zhang Sheng led the Gold-Devouring Beast little by little closer to Luo Yu and his group. Xu Sanyan intervened, but he did not exert his full strength, only seemingly struggling to hinder Zhang Sheng's advance.

The situation was temporarily deadlocked. Now it depended on which side would break the stalemate first. If Chi Yu and the other two managed to bind Zhou Longsheng first, then the opponent's morale would surely plummet, and some would definitely defect to Luo Yu.

If Zhang Sheng and his group managed to break through Luo Yu's defense first and interrupt the Spells of Chi Yu and the other two, once Zhou Longsheng was free, Luo Yu would find it extremely difficult to escape.

Xu Sanyan was quite eager for the outcome. He hoped Luo Yu would win because Luo Yu seemed easier to deal with.

Things were going as he wished; a golden net flashed in the sky, and Zhou Longsheng, after all, was careless for a moment and got his wings entangled by the golden net behind him.

Chi Yu's face beamed with joy, and he shouted, "Hahahahaha, I told you you couldn't run!"

Zhou Longsheng's expression was flustered. With his wings entangled, he immediately lost balance and struggled frantically in mid-air, trying to break free.

However, the more he struggled, the tighter the Dragon Capturing Net became, gradually covering his entire body through his flesh wings, causing him to fall straight down from the sky.

Luo Yu was overjoyed, "Hahahahaha, Zhou Longsheng, today is your day of death!"

Zhang Sheng looked up anxiously, his mind becoming increasingly chaotic. If Zhou Longsheng died, he would also not escape death.

"Senior Brother Zhou, hold on!"

Zhang Sheng roared, disregarding everything and passing through Xu Sanyan, rushing directly towards Chi Yu and the other two. At this moment, he had to fight with his life.

The Gold-Devouring Beast behind him had been toyed with by Zhang Sheng for a long time and was already burning with rage. It ignored everyone else and charged over, following Zhang Sheng's footsteps.

Luo Yu shouted when he saw this, "Senior Brother Xu, quickly stop him!"

"Senior Brother, rest assured."

Xu Sanyan agreed readily, but his movements were very slow, watching Zhang Sheng leap over.

Luo Yu forced back the person in front of him with a palm, and seeing Zhang Sheng charging over, he couldn't help but curse Xu Sanyan as useless in his heart. He had wasted his merit points to exchange for the method of nurturing the Blood Demon, yet when it came down to it, he couldn't rely on him for anything.

Seeing Zhou Longsheng captured, several opponents immediately stopped fighting, relieving some pressure on Luo Yu and his group. These people were like fair-weather friends, siding with whoever had the upper hand.

"Die!" Zhang Sheng's arm barbs suddenly stood erect, and with a "whoosh," the barbs actually detached from his body and shot straight towards Luo Yu.

Luo Yu's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. A layer of blood film condensed on the single horn on his head, firmly protecting him.

He could not dodge, because Chi Yu and the other two were still behind him. It wasn't that he cared about his Junior Brothers, but rather that the three of them were still trying their best to control the Dragon Capturing Net. Once they were affected, the Dragon Capturing Net would lose its Qi supply, and Zhou Longsheng would have a chance to escape.

Now that ninety-nine steps had been crossed, only the last push remained; he absolutely could not let things go wrong at this moment!

Swish--

The barbs sliced through the air with a piercing shriek, directly penetrating the blood film, but their power also significantly decreased, allowing Luo Yu to block them relatively easily.

But Zhang Sheng's figure followed closely, his iron fists carrying immense power, smashing towards Luo Yu's head.

Luo Yu's mouth twisted into a sneer. He was a dignified Foundation Establishment Completion, how could he be afraid of him!

He swung his fists to meet the attack.

"Bang!"

The two collided, and a wave of Qi aftershock erupted from their fists, sending a blast of wind and air currents, scattering a large number of fallen leaves.

Zhang Sheng's face visibly changed. After all, there was still a difference in Realm between the two. Zhang Sheng's Qi was unable to withstand Luo Yu's attack, and his figure flew backward.

"Ow!"

The Gold-Devouring Beast leaped up, opening its massive mouth and biting Zhang Sheng, who had no leverage in mid-air. Amidst the clashing fangs, Zhang Sheng's massive body was already severed into two sections.

"Ah!"

Zhang Sheng was surprisingly not dead yet. A shrill scream echoed through the night, and only half of his body was still struggling, trying to crawl out of the Gold-Devouring Beast's mouth.

The Gold-Devouring Beast lifted its front paw, and its sharp claws sliced across Zhang Sheng's neck, instantly silencing the screams.

"Bang!"

Just then, Zhou Longsheng, who was struggling in the sky, crashed into the ground, raising clouds of dust.

Luo Yu's face lit up, "Hahahaha! Zhou Longsheng, it seems I have won after all!"

At this moment, anyone with eyes could see that the outcome was decided. The fighting on both sides also ceased, and various parts of the battlefield were filled with bloody severed limbs and scattered, gruesome corpses.

Initially, neither side intended to fight seriously, but as the situation developed, it gradually evolved into a life-and-death struggle. At this moment, only twenty-something people were still standing.

The Gold-Devouring Beast lowered its head, tearing at Zhang Sheng's remains, its ferocious eyes scanning around, finally settling on the most arrogant Luo Yu.

Luo Yu was not afraid of the Gold-Devouring Beast, but he now wanted to personally kill Zhou Longsheng. So he turned his head and said to Xu Sanyan in the distance,

"Senior Brother Xu, I am very dissatisfied with your performance this time. This Gold-Devouring Beast is entrusted to you. Consider it an opportunity for you to make amends."

Luo Yu's words, both praising and criticizing, fully demonstrated a leader's methods of managing subordinates.

"Senior Brother, rest assured, leave it to me!"

Xu Sanyan did not hesitate for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.

Luo Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. Now, whenever he heard the words "Senior Brother, rest assured," he felt uncomfortable all over, muttering to himself, "When have you ever truly made me rest assured?"
