20: Kill the Big Rat

"It's a trap! These Stone Monsters deliberately lured us here!" The other Demon Rats grew uneasy.

The fifteen silent Copper Armor Dao Soldiers, their bodies covered in rock formed from Earth Element, appeared increasingly tall, standing nearly three meters high. Combined with their expressionless faces, they were incredibly oppressive.

"Good job, Stone Monsters. You actually want to lure and kill us!" The largest Demon Rat spoke coldly, "But, with just you Spirit Transformation Realm, you dare to try and lure and kill me? How ridiculous!"

Between the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Penetrating Aperture Realm, there was a vast Realm separating them. This great Realm was like an insurmountable chasm, firmly dividing the Stone Monsters and the Grand Demon Rat between heaven and earth.

A gap is a gap, a chasm is a chasm. The separation of a great Realm is simply not a gulf that can be overcome by sheer numbers.

Moreover, there were only fifteen Stone Monsters, not a large number at all. They, the Demon Rat clan, had six, plus the Grand Demon Rat, a Tong Qiao Realm: "The advantage is with me."

"What are you panicking about? A bunch of Stone Monsters who don't know death, kill them all..." The Grand Demon Rat bellowed.

However, before he could finish speaking, the Earth Element beneath the ground abruptly boiled.

The surging Earth Element was like a raging tsunami in a vast sea, transforming into massive 'Giant Pythons' that came crashing down from all directions.

"Boom!"

For the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers, who were born to control the Earth Element, the ground beneath was their home ground. Their strength would be several times greater than on the surface.

"Damn it!" The Grand Demon Rat let out a sharp roar, a hint of panic in his voice.

To him, the entire ground beneath now seemed like a thick 'muddy swamp', making it difficult for his earth-burrowing talent to move freely. It was also like molten iron, gradually solidifying, and eventually, it would completely turn into a solid iron plate, and he would be completely and firmly trapped within it.

If the Grand Demon Rat was like this, the other five Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Rats were even worse. They let out fearful and uneasy 'squeaking' screams, frantically trying to break free from the restraints of the Earth Element and rush out from underground.

But, the Earth Element, like thick Giant Pythons, had already coiled around them, coming from all directions.

"Boom!" "Rumble!"

The ground beneath vibrated violently, causing the earth within a radius of several miles to shake.

One of the Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Rats let out a sharp shriek, its demonic energy surging, transforming into a giant rat head with steel teeth and sharp claws, fiercely biting down on the Earth Element Giant Python.

However, beneath the earth, the Earth Element was incredibly vast. The Earth Element Giant Python seemed to crush everything in its path, smashing through the demonic energy giant rat head. Then, the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers, encased in rock, suddenly appeared at the front of the Earth Element Giant Python. With immense power, they unleashed a punch that shattered the Demon Rat's head.

On the other side, ten Copper Armor Dao Soldiers simultaneously attacked the Grand Demon Rat. They merged with the surging Earth Element, continuously launching attacks against the Grand Demon Rat.

"Mere Spirit Transformation Stone Monsters, what can you do to me?!" The Grand Demon Rat's body surged with astonishing demonic energy. A long, slender tail, carrying immense demonic power, lashed out, shattering one Earth Element Giant Python after another.

Even when squeezed by the endless Earth Element, this Grand Demon Rat was still difficult to completely restrain. His fierce might was unstoppable. A Copper Armor Dao Soldier silently merged into the Earth Element and grabbed the Grand Demon Rat's slender tail, but was sent flying by this steel whip-like tail. Even the rock armor on his body, formed from the Earth Element, was shattered.

This made Lu Chen, who was watching from afar, feel a shock: "As expected of a Tong Qiao Realm Demon Rat, which surpasses the Spirit Transformation, it's truly not comparable to the ordinary!"

It was the first time he had seen his Copper Armor Dao Soldiers have their rock armor shattered, and it was even underground, the home ground of the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers.

Lu Chen had no doubt that if it wasn't underground, the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers might not even be able to get close to this Grand Demon Rat.

"Fortunately, the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers' bodies are sturdy and indestructible, they can withstand it!"

As long as this Grand Demon Rat couldn't break through the defense of the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers, and the stalemate continued, the one who would ultimately die would definitely be this Grand Demon Rat.

"It's a pity there's no way to teach these Copper Armor Dao Soldiers Spells. Otherwise, with the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers' innate advantage of controlling the Earth Element and Fire Element, they could definitely maximize the power of Earth Element and Fire Elemental Spells, and their strength would at least double, if not more."

Lu Chen felt a bit regretful.

He had tried to teach the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers Earth Elemental Spell and Fire Elemental Spells, but it simply didn't work. He could communicate with the Dao Soldiers telepathically, and they could understand his intentions with a thought, but he couldn't integrate his intentions into the Dao Soldiers' bodies, nor could he feel the mystery of the Dao Soldiers' innate control over Fire Element and Earth Element. Conversely, the Dao Soldiers couldn't acquire his Spells.

Therefore, even though the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers were born to control the Earth Element and Fire Element, they could only rely on their control of the Earth Element to crudely manipulate and smash with the Earth Element, but they couldn't use Spells like cultivators, unleashing ten or even twelve parts of power from one part of strength.

Otherwise, underground, where the Earth Element was vast and endless, if ten powerful Earth Elemental Spell were unleashed, this Grand Demon Rat would have been beaten into a dead rat long ago!

"Boom!"

Another Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Rat had its head shattered by a Copper Armor Dao Soldier and died.

"Boom!" "Rumble!" "Boom!" Then, the last three Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Rats were also shattered one after another.

In the same Realm, especially in their home ground underground, the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers were almost invincible. Killing these Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Rats was as simple as crushing a little chick.

"Damn it, you Stone Monsters should all die!" The Grand Demon Rat went mad. He watched as the five Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Rats were beaten to death, but he was powerless.

Because all fifteen Copper Armor Dao Soldiers had surrounded and attacked him. What made him even more angry and shocked was how strong the bodies of these Copper Armor Dao Soldiers were.

He had unleashed his full power several times, wanting to kill two Copper Armor Dao Soldiers first, but in the end, he only managed to shatter the rock armor that the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers had condensed from the Earth Element. Then, those Copper Armor Dao Soldiers condensed rock armor again as if nothing had happened and attacked him.

These Copper Armor Dao Soldiers were like unbreakable iron men. You couldn't kill them, but they could kill you.

The Grand Demon Rat could already foresee that if he continued to entangle with them, he would definitely be the one to die!

"Roar!" The next moment, the Grand Demon Rat seemed to fall into a frenzy, actually letting out a roar like a tiger's, and the vast demonic power all over his body seemed to be stained with blood.

"Boom!"

The long, slender tail lashed out, shattering the rock armor of one Copper Armor Dao Soldier and sending him flying back into the depths of the earth.

Another tail lash. Three Copper Armor Dao Soldiers simultaneously pushed the vast Earth Element, transforming it into an Earth Element long river several meters wide. "Bang!" The rat tail struck, shattering the Earth Element, and even sending the three Iron Armor Dao Soldiers tumbling and flying back.

But there were not just four Copper Armor Dao Soldiers, but as many as fifteen.

While the rat tail sent four Copper Armor Dao Soldiers flying, the other eleven Copper Armor Dao Soldiers had already merged into the Earth Element, suddenly appearing beneath the Grand Demon Rat and firmly grabbing his four limbs.

Another two Copper Armor Dao Soldiers grabbed the Grand Demon Rat's ears, and the last Copper Armor Dao Soldier, carrying the Earth Element as heavy as a mountain, condensed it into a punch and heavily struck the Grand Demon Rat's reddish eye.

"Hiss!"

At the same moment, the Earth Element surged up, transforming into large swords, and even surging with sharp Sword Intent, suddenly slashing down like lightning, instantly piercing the Grand Demon Rat's other reddish eye.

Lu Chen made his move at the most crucial moment, piercing the Grand Demon Rat in one fell swoop.

"Squeak!" The Grand Demon Rat let out a mournful cry of pain and thrashed violently, but the remaining Copper Armor Dao Soldiers simultaneously erupted, and the violent Earth Element blasted down together, smashing this Grand Demon Rat to death on the spot!
