The man and the beast continued to fight each other.
Xia Wu's side was in a miserable state. The remaining two people were no match for the evil creature, and in less than half a minute, the level 27 Radiant Moon Knight had died tragically at the hands of the evil creature. Xia Wu was the only one left who was bitterly holding on.
His ending was obvious.
"Run!" Xia Wu turned his head and shouted at Xia Zong with a ferocious expression.
The moment he shouted, he was distracted, and a bloody wound was left on his chest by the evil creature.
The descendants of the noble clans who were stunned on the spot felt as if cold water had been poured over their heads. They all shuddered and came back to their senses, expressions of panic appearing on their faces.
"W-What do we do?"
"What else can we do?
Run quickly!
Are we going to stay here and wait for death? "
"Yes!
Yes!
Go back to the city and get reinforcements! "
Panicked shouts rose and fell one after another.
Seeing that Xia Wu was showing signs of not being able to hold on, the descendants of the noble clans no longer cared about anything else. They all turned and fled, frantically fleeing in the direction they had come from.
Xia Zong looked at his father with a pale face, struggling for a moment. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned to flee.
"This is going to be troublesome." Lu Changshan scratched his head.
Lu Qiu cast a questioning look at Lin Lichuan. "Do you want to make a move?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Lichuan nodded. After all, the goal of this trip to TuHai City was this evil creature. It was not easy to get a chance to kill it, so naturally, he would not let it go.
Seeing that Lin Lichuan had agreed, Lu Changshan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, they were both heraldic clans, and it would not be right to leave them in the lurch. However, with just him and his sister, it was unlikely that they would be able to kill the evil creature. Now that Lin Lichuan was here, their chances of success were much higher.
On the other hand, after learning his lesson, Xia Fangxin purposely lured the evil creatures to distance themselves from each other, gradually moving the location of the battle further away. Lin Lichuan and the other two heaved a sigh of relief. They didn't want a level 31 evil creature to suddenly appear while they were fighting.
The consequences were simply unimaginable. The three bloody corpses on the ground had not yet completely stiffened.
Since they had decided to take action, the three of them didn't delay any longer. Lu Changshan's movement was unexpectedly fast. His whole person was different from his usual gentle and humble self. His body bent forward and stretched out his hands like a wild beast.
In an instant, his body expanded rapidly as if it was filled with air. His clothes were pulled taut and merged with his skin. A layer of ink-like hair grew from his body at a speed visible to the naked eye. The corners of his mouth opened to both sides, and sharp fangs grew out.
The muscles under his skin were like earthworms, twisting, bulging, and elongating. His hands and feet had turned into the claws of a wild beast.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Changshan turned from a handsome young man to a male tiger that was close to five meters long from head to tail. On his back was a pair of wings that were more than ten meters wide. His entire body was pitch-black, and only his eyes were completely white. His eye sockets were filled with a deathly white color.
"Phantom beast transformation ability user!"
Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Lu Changshan, who was normally like a gentle scholar, to have mastered the Phantom beast transformation ability, which was rarer than the spatial ability.
The Phantom beast transformation ability was the king of all transformation abilities. It was an extremely rare and powerful ability. Like the Elementalist, it was naturally outstanding among those of the same level.
Roar!
A deep roar that sounded like rolling thunder suddenly rang out. Lu Changshan, who had transformed into a giant white-eyed tiger, broke through the air. A pale-white wind surged around his body, brazenly pouncing toward the evil creature like a hurricane.
Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu immediately followed.
With a flash of black light, Lin Lichuan's face was instantly covered by a phantom mask. His clothes also turned into the white robes of the Black-Winged Demon.
Under the fierce attack of the evil creature, Xia Wu had already lost all hope. He didn't expect three people to rush out from the ground and stop the evil creature's attack.
"White-Eyed Demon Tiger?
Lu Changshan!
And Lu Qiu! "
Lu Changshan's Phantom beast transformation ability was quite famous among the heraldic families. Xia Wu recognized him immediately. He then remembered that his son, Xia Zong, had said that he had invited the Lu siblings to watch. He was immediately overjoyed.
The Lu siblings were both level 28 Radiant Moon Knights, and they had mastered rare and powerful abilities. Their battle prowess far exceeded that of ordinary people of the same level. With their help, they could at least be on par with the evil creature.
But, who was the other person?
In the time it took to catch his breath, Xia Wu looked at the white figure with a puzzled expression. Coincidentally, he saw the other party rush in front of the evil creature and ignore the evil creature's claws. He allowed the evil creature to tear a bloody hole in his chest and abdomen, while he himself tore off a large piece of flesh from the evil creature's shoulder.
Blood splattered!
The corner of Xia Wu's eyes twitched. He didn't expect this person's battle method to be as fierce as the evil creature's.
'But this person … is actually a bit stronger than the Lu siblings. Where did he come from?'
Taking advantage of the moment when the evil creature was injured and slowed down, Lu Changshan pounced, waving his claws to create a hurricane that smashed the evil creature into the ground like a meteor.
At the same time, he turned his head and looked at Lin Lichuan in astonishment, secretly amazed.
'Peak of level 28 … and he's only around 20 years old. Tsk tsk, Little Qiu has picked up a treasure this time!'
Little did he know that Lu Qiu was equally astonished.
She remembered that Lin Lichuan's strength was only at level 27 when he wasn't using that incomparably powerful trump card. But now, he had suddenly soared to the peak of level 28.
'Has Ah Chuan's strength increased again?'
After a moment of astonishment, Lu Qiu quickly regained her composure.
She had witnessed Lin Lichuan's growth from a peak Morning Star Knight to a level 28 Radiant Moon Knight in less than half a year. Lu Qiu was already numb to Lin Lichuan's growth.
Lin Lichuan didn't care about the astonishment of the others. He lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest. With the effect of Enhanced Regeneration, the wound quickly stopped bleeding and formed a scab, recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This scene made Xia Wu's eyes widen.
Fortunately, he knew that the crisis had yet to be resolved. He hurriedly gathered his distracting thoughts and continued fighting.
With the four of them working together, they were able to fight the evil creature to a standstill.
'Three out of the four of us are far stronger than the average level 28. Even so, we still can't defeat the level 29 evil creature. The difference in strength between levels is indeed shocking.'
Lin Lichuan thought to himself as he threw the green spear in his hand, forcing the evil creature to retreat from its attack on Lu Qiu. At the same time, he glanced at the distant sky where flames soared into the sky from the corner of his eye.
'I don't know when the battle over there will end. I can't drag it on any longer. I have to end it quickly!'
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly came up with an idea.
His figure flashed, and he appeared beside the evil creature in an instant. He blocked the sharp claws coming at him with one hand, while his other hand shot out at lightning speed towards the evil creature. He loosened his grip, and a small black cube rolled out.
