253: You did a great job.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Deep in the jungle, a miserable howl erupted, instantly scattering the birds and beasts.

A flash of white light streaked past, followed by a beam of bloody light shooting upward in hot pursuit!

The white light enveloped a figure—it was Qi Tian!

"Goddammit! You two scammers! Didn't we agree I'd be the support? Why the hell did I become the bait?!"

Qi Tian cursed out in annoyance.

Not far away, Su Su and Xiao Yuan, looking as if they were meditating, watched the scene of Qi Tian being hunted with innocent expressions.

Su Su said with a grin, "Isn't a support just bait? Keep it up! Your speed isn't inferior to its; wear it down!"

Qi Tian was speechless. He could feel the distance between them shrinking. Although he was fast, his opponent was a Sixth-Rank Blood Ghoul, a whole realm higher than him!

They had finally managed to find a Sixth-Rank Blood Ghoul, but they were discovered at the critical moment, and Qi Tian became its target!

"Damn it! You're bullying me just because I'm not a power-type fighter, aren't you?!"

Qi Tian's body suddenly spun around as he directly released a skill!

A massive Eight-Part Light Wheel shot directly toward the Blood Ghoul!

The latter roared, its claws swiping several times in an instant, shredding Qi Tian's skill!

Qi Tian's eyelid twitched. Damn, is the gap really this big?

In the brief moment he stopped, the Blood Ghoul had already rushed in front of him!

Swish!

A sharp glint flashed in Qi Tian's eyes. In the next second, several Eight-Part Light Wheels slashed at the Blood Ghoul from all directions!

Puchi!

The Blood Ghoul couldn't react in time to such a sudden attack and was hit directly, several bloody gashes opening on its body!

Meanwhile, its own attack had also landed!

At that moment, Qi Tian activated his second element skill. A Wooden Wall rose before him, blocking the Blood Ghoul's attack!

Of course, "blocking" was a stretch—the powerful impact instantly sent Qi Tian flying!

"Holy shit!"

Qi Tian was secretly alarmed. As expected of a difference of an entire major realm, the gap in power was far too obvious!

After landing, Qi Tian's expression changed instantly, and he instinctively lunged to the side!

Boom!

In the next second, the spot where he had just landed exploded!

If Qi Tian hadn't dodged, his entire body would likely have been impaled and blown apart!

Although Blood Ghouls had no eyes, their hearing was extremely keen! They could capture a prey's position in an instant and attack immediately!

After dodging the blow, cold sweat broke out on Qi Tian's forehead.

Damn! That was a close call!

If Fang Bai saw this, wouldn't he laugh his head off?

Qi Tian looked at the Blood Ghoul, which had only sustained minor injuries, his expression solemn.

The gap between them was a bit too large; it was already impressive that he could leave any injuries on it at all.

"Roar!"

The Blood Ghoul was frantic with rage; it actually couldn't take down a mere insect!

Just as it was about to pounce for the kill, the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out!

The Blood Ghoul hurried to dodge, but in the next second, it was sent flying by a massive fist!

A fist condensed from the earth had suddenly appeared from the ground!

And Xiao Yuan's body crashed toward the Blood Ghoul like the wind!

Sensing another ant, the Blood Ghoul's expression turned hideous as it charged directly at Xiao Yuan!

Xiao Yuan's expression was serious as a layer of hard Earthen Armor covered his body!

Bang!

The two collided head-on!

In the next second, Xiao Yuan screamed as he was sent flying backward a great distance.

Qi Tian: "..."

"Meathead!"

Qi Tian cursed in annoyance, then proactively charged toward the Blood Ghoul!

Boom!

At the same time, the knocked-away Xiao Yuan also rushed out again!

The two joined forces and engaged the Blood Ghoul in a fierce battle!

Su Su, however, did not make a move; she seemed to be intentionally training the two of them.

After all, both Qi Tian and Xiao Yuan were only at the early Fifth-Rank; their strength was too low, placing them only at a middle-tier level among the dozens of people.

To advance, they naturally needed greater strength.

This was also what Fang Bai had told her.

Qi Tian and Xiao Yuan attacked the Blood Ghoul frantically. Together, they were actually able to barely contend with it.

Because the Blood Ghoul had no eyes, Qi Tian's Light Element didn't have much of an effect; he could only fire Eight-Part Light Wheels to cause some superficial wounds.

Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, used the most primitive fighting style. His constitution was very strong, and with the protection of his Earth Element armor, he could actually go head-to-head with the Blood Ghoul!

The more they fought, the more injuries they sustained, but their courage only grew!

Boom!

Finally, after a fierce battle, the Blood Ghoul gained the upper hand and sent the two of them flying!

Qi Tian and Xiao Yuan fell to the ground in a sorry state, covered in blood and looking wretched.

They had given it their all, but they still couldn't kill their opponent!

The gap between the Sixth-Rank and the Fifth-Rank was still very distinct.

However, while they hadn't killed the Blood Ghoul, they had managed to heavily wound it.

One of the Blood Ghoul's long arms had been severed, and there was a massive gash on its body! Viscous liquid dripped... The Blood Ghoul approached the two step by step, its head swaying as if listening for something.

Qi Tian sighed, looking at the sky. "I'm such a fucking loser!"

Xiao Yuan comforted him, "Brother Qi, don't say that about yourself."

"Xiao Yuan, you're a loser too."

Xiao Yuan: ... Qi Tian said gloomily, "Old Bai can kill Demon Kings with one hand, but I can't even beat a single Sixth-Rank beast. This is so embarrassing."

He used to think he was a genius, but since joining the Guardian Alliance, he had become just another face in the crowd.

After seeing Fang Bai again, he was truly demoralized.

This is so fucking messed up!

The Blood Ghoul had already reached Qi Tian, its sole remaining long arm raised high, ready to kill the human.

Qi Tian's face was calm. He knew he wouldn't die—after all, Su Su hadn't made her move yet.

Just as the thought occurred to Qi Tian, a beastly roar resounded. Immediately after, a massive Fire Dragon pounced, knocking the Blood Ghoul away!

Su Su had made her move!

She stood atop the giant dragon's head, looking down at the Blood Ghoul alongside it.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Class Monitor Su to be from the Summoning Element."

Qi Tian said with a grin.

Su Su glanced at them and then revealed a smile. "You did very well."

Qi Tian: ... Su Su looked at the Blood Ghoul, a powerful aura radiating from her—she was also at the Sixth-Rank!

The Blood Ghoul slowly retreated. It had sensed the danger; the human before it was not someone it could defeat!

The Blood Ghoul didn't linger and turned to flee!

But how could Su Su let it escape? A powerful burst of ice energy arrived in an instant!

Crack!

The Blood Ghoul's hind legs were instantly frozen, and the Fire Dragon unleashed its breath at the same time!

Boom!

Massive flames enveloped the Blood Ghoul, making it let out a mournful scream!

Su Su struck ruthlessly, giving it no chance to breathe. She unleashed a flurry of skills all at once, and finally, the Blood Ghoul's body was pierced by an Ice Spear!

Sixth-Rank Demon Beast, killed!

Objective complete!
