905 Eight-Nine Arcane Art, You Canât Go Back (2)
Ji Lutian glared. âKid, youâre rebelling! How dare you talk to me like that?â
âIs there a problem with talking to you like this? Why canât you open your eyes and take a look?â Zhou Shu said angrily. âYouâre injured now. If we really fight, you might not be my match. If youâre defeated by a junior like me, you will lose all your face. If youâre not afraid of losing face, you can try.â
âIâ¦â Ji Lutianâs eyes widened. How could someone who wanted face as much as him not be afraid of losing face?
âFollow me. Otherwise, no one will care if anything happens to you.â Zhou Shu looked at where the sounds of battle came from and stopped talking with Ji Lutian. He flew up and flew toward the sounds.
While flying, Zhou Shu felt that something was wrong.
This world seemed to have much heavier gravity than the era he was in. As he flew in the air, he felt that the resistance he faced was several times greater than before.
Every movement consumed much more energy than before.
It was no wonder the giant spirit race was so big. Ordinary humans wouldnât be able to survive under such circumstances. It would probably be extremely difficult for them to move.
Ji Lutian flew behind Zhou Shu and obviously discovered this too. âKid, where are we now? Thereâs something wrong with the world here.â
âAncient times, when the giant spirit race was still around,â Zhou Shu said casually.
âAre you jokingâ?â Before Ji Lutian could finish speaking, he stopped in the air, stunned.
His eyes were wide open as he stared straight ahead. The next moment, he rubbed his eyes and stared ahead again.
After doing this a few times, he finally confirmed that he wasnât seeing things!
Ahead, two groups of people were fighting.
One side was ten to thirteen-meter-tall giants. The other was also ten to thirteen meters tall, but they didnât look human. They had green faces and fangs, and they had a pair of wings on their backs.
Their fight was full of pure violence. Both sides fought hand-to-hand, punching and kicking, even using their mouths. It was a brutal fight. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although their battle was very primitive, Zhou Shu and Ji Lutianâs eyelids still twitched.
Be it the giants or the winged, green-faced, and fanged party, they were extremely powerful. Their punches and kicks were enough to split mountains and break rocks. Moreover, their bodies were very sturdy. They had to attack each other crazily to cause some injuries to their opponents.
âThis is the giant spirit race,â Ji Lutian muttered. âThatâs the asura race!
âHow is this possible?â
Boom!
A loud sound echoed in their ears, and Zhou Shuâs pupils constricted slightly.
He saw Uncle Bai fighting a green-faced, fanged monster who was a head taller than him.
He reached out to grab the monsterâs waist and pushed the monster back continuously. As for the monster, it let out a roar, and its sharp claws kept scratching Uncle Baiâs back, pulling out chunks of flesh and blood.
Zhou Shu looked behind the giants. Not far behind them, there was a stronghold piled up with boulders. On the boulders, he could still see figures. They were the old, weak, women, and children of the giant spirit race.
No wonder Uncle Bai and the giant spirits were fighting so desperately. Behind them were the old, weak, women, and children of the giant spirit race, their families.
Zhou Shuâs heart skipped a beat.
Be it in numbers or individual strength, the asura race was above the giant spirit race. Giant after giant collapsed from serious injuries, then they desperately got up and continued to fight fearlessly.
Although the giant spirit race was not the ruler of the world that Ji Lutian had mentioned, their bravery was admirable.
âWhy is the giant spirit race so weak?â Ji Lutian muttered. âWhere are their divine weapons? Why donât they use divine weapons? Without divine weapons, how can they defeat the asura race with their physical strength?â
Whoosh!
A few asuras flapped their wings and flew up, charging toward the stronghold behind the giant spirit race warriors.
âDonât even think about bullying my people!â A young, crisp voice sounded. Lingâer ran out of the stronghold and rushed toward the asuras.
âThree meters tall. Isnât this a little girl from the giant spirit race? Is she courting death?â Ji Lutian muttered.
Zhou Shu glanced at Ji Lutian and snorted. If you donât know how to speak, then donât speak. No one will treat you as a mute.
Who said that Lingâer is courting death? With me around, who dares to hurt her?!
âDie, all of you!â Lingâer shouted and waved her fist at the asuras.
A ferocious smile appeared on the green-faced and fanged asuras, and their sharp claws flashed coldly under the sunlight. They could already see the scene of them tearing the giant spirit child into pieces. The flesh of children was the most tender, especially the heart. It was delicious and juicy!
The asuras couldnât wait to extend their claws. At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed.
The sinister smiles on the asurasâ faces froze. The next moment, a huge head fell to the ground with a bang.
Green blood shot into the sky, emitting an unpleasant stench.
Lingâer was shocked and dodged with a whoosh. She looked at her fist in confusion. I havenât hit him yet. Why did his head fall off?
The other asuras were stunned on the spot. They had no idea how their companion had died.
âThose who cross the line will die!â A thunderous voice sounded. With a flash of white light, a several-hundredâmeter-long sword mark appeared on the ground.
The Celestial Thearch Sword descended from the sky and stabbed straight into the sword mark. Then Zhou Shu stepped forward and landed beside Lingâer.
âUncle?â Xiaoyuâer blinked and looked at Zhou Shu in surprise.
Zhou Shu had already used the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, and his appearance now looked exactly the same as that of the giant spirit race.
Ji Lutian stared at him. âYou said that you werenât from the giant spirit race. Youâve exposed yourself now!â
âUncle, can you help Uncle Bai and the others?â Lingâer came back to her senses. She wasnât the one who killed the asura just now, but it was this uncle.
When Zhou Shu saw Lingâerâs pleading gaze, his heart softened. He, who originally didnât want to cause complications, nodded.
âGo back to the stronghold and wait. Leave this to me,â Zhou Shu said.
In the distance, Uncle Bai was already covered in blood. He was kicked away by the asura who was a head taller than him. Then a few asuras pounced on him and bit his limbs.
Uncle Bai let out a scream.
The surrounding giant spirits tried to save him, but they were no match for the asuras at all.
...
In the blink of an eye, several giant spirits had their throats bitten off by the asuras. The asuras devoured the flesh and blood of the giant spirits in large mouthfuls. The scene was abnormally bloody and cruel.
âWhen our king returns, he will definitely avenge us!â Uncle Bai roared.
âHaha, he wonât be able to return. The giant spirit race is about to become history!â The asura laughed, revealing his white teeth.
Swish!
Before he could finish speaking, a white light flashed. The heads of the asuras biting Uncle Baiâs limbs instantly fell to the ground, and green blood splattered all over Uncle Bai.
The smile on the big asuraâs face suddenly froze.
âI donât know if they can come back, but I know that you canât go back.â A voice sounded, and a figure slowly walked through the crowd. This person didnât seem very tall among the giants, but as he walked over, everyone seemed to make way for him.
The white light that had cut off the heads of several asuras circled around and suddenly returned to the personâs hand, turning into a long sharp blade.
While speaking, the person raised his hand and slashed forward. The pupils of the asura suddenly constricted into black dots.
