The Zero Inside the Martial Arts Library
Chapter 9: The Day That Slash Became Legendary
Not many star beasts escaped back then, but most of them were above an incredible level. Hence, the impact they carried was similar to that of a large-scale star beast.
It was very bad in downtown Jianghai.
A three meter tall muscular humanoid beast that looked like a beetle was sitting quietly near the fountain in the central plaza of Jianghai city. It held a slender arm and ate it as if it were chicken wings.
Screams kept coming from the buildings around the square.
It was an incredible level star beast that captured and devoured human martial artists.
According to legend, if humans wanted to defeat star beasts, they would have to use star cores, flesh, and blood. If they refined those ingredients into pills and swallowed them, they would evolve into a tiger demon and eventually become a star beast itself.
As for star beasts, they could directly devour humans to increase their strength.
That was also the reason why the two sides were targeting each other.
Frankly, both entities treat each other as their own resources.
However, at that moment, a sword beam suddenly shot out from afar. It sliced the head of an incredible level star beast, and it did not stop there.
The explosion!
Accompanied by the explosion, the sword beam finally landed ten meters in front of the beetle monster. It blew up the ground, causing clouds of smoke to soar.
The beetle-like star beast threw its half-bitten arm onto the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. Surprisingly, it speaks in human language.
“How disappointing. I can't even eat quietly.”
After reaching the grandmaster level, the strength, size, and intelligence of star beasts would gradually increase. In fact, it will develop human speech.
As the dust subsided, an old man wearing a suit and carrying a long sword slowly walked over.
Even though his hair and beard were bleached, he was full of energy. His face was red, and his eyes were bright. He looks like a wise man.
In the surrounding buildings, someone recognized him and shouted loudly,
“That's Principal Qin of Jianghai Martial Arts Academy, Qin Shenglong!”
“This is a grandmaster! A grandmaster is here! ”
“We're saved!”
The crowd shouted excitedly, and the grandmaster-ranked star beast also stood up from the fountain, excitement dancing in its eyes.
“Qin Shenglong! 30 years! 30 Years full! We meet again!”
“Do you know how I lived for those 30 years?”
Qin Shenglong clasped his hands behind his back as he walked forward. His gaze was fixed on the star beast.
“You shouldn't have come out. If you stay in jail obediently, you might be able to live for a few more years.”
“Ha ha ha ha..”
After laughing at the sky crazily, the gaze of the star beast grew cold.
He stomped his feet and suddenly gathered strength. Like a cannonball, he instantly appeared in front of Qin Shenglong.
Qin Shenglong shook his head.
“You're overestimating yourself.”
After saying that, he whipped out his sword at lightning speed.
As he drew his sword, the powerful strength of his Xiantian realm flowed into his sword like waves.
As soon as the grandmaster star beast arrived in front of him, his sword hit the top of his head.
In an instant, a dazzling light filled the entire square, causing countless humans and star beasts to close their eyes from the flash of light.
The explosion!
In the next instant, a loud explosion and strong tremors shook the ground. The tall buildings around the square also shook slightly.
The powerful strength made the humans in the surrounding buildings even more excited.
This was the strength of a martial artist at the Xiantian realm!
With that little human body, he was able to unleash earth-shattering divine power!
Many people clenched their hands tightly and shouted in their hearts.
Try for that!
However, a moment later, when the light disappeared, everyone opened their eyes once more. The smile on their faces could not help but disappear.
“This ... How is this possible?”
In the square, the grandmaster star beast used one of its hands to block Qin Shenglong's sword.
He's not hurt!
Qin Shenglong's face was also filled with shock.
“Are you not expecting this? Qin old dog, this is all thanks to humans. After integrating the genes of star beasts, I have evolved with armor that is immune to swords and spears. Among you humans, there is no one in the great sect or the heavenly sect. No force is strong enough to destroy my armor.”
A cruel smile appeared on the face of the star beast as he punched out.
“Not good!”
Qin Shenglong's expression changed. He wanted to retreat immediately, but it was too late.
Bang out!
Another huge explosion rang out, and Qin Shenglong was sent flying by another blow.
In the air, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could land on the ground, another figure suddenly shot out, wanting to catch him.
“Do not touch me. Your ribs are broken.”
Qin Shenglong avoided that person and used his own techniques to control his strength. After landing on the ground, he retreated a few steps. Each step leaves a trail of more than 20 centimeters in hard cement soil. It was a shocking sight!
The figure immediately came to his side to protect him.
It was none other than the director of the library, Ouyang Yunzhong.
“Qin Old, Are you okay?”
Qin Shenglong said with a grim expression, “I am not dead yet, but if I cannot destroy this person, the entire city of Jianghai will be wiped out!”
“Nangong Ling is currently in prison. I've already told the higher-ups, and they should immediately send out martial artists. Hold.”
“You won't have a chance!”
As they spoke, the star beast attacked once more.
The intelligence of a high-level star beast was not inferior to a human, and it would not give them a chance to fight together.
The two human grandmasters were forced into battle once more, but unable to break through the other party's defenses, they were defeated to the point that they could not even raise their heads. They were forced back repeatedly, and they could only rely on their teamwork and the surrounding buildings to slow down the other party's attack.
The star beast launched a frenzied attack. Each of their iron hands exerted over a thousand pounds of strength! His attack was able to leave a huge crater on the ground!
Explosions rang out one after another on the streets, and the surrounding buildings trembled with his strength.
The humans hiding in the buildings were crowding, trembling in fear.
Even with the combined strength of the two grandmasters, they were still unable to suppress the grandmaster star beast. Such despair was no different from the beginning of the apocalypse!
At that moment, accompanied by a gust of wind, a figure finally arrived near the library.
“I'm finally back.”
Looking at the library, Ye Xiao's heart calmed down a little.
Before he could calm down, he heard a series of loud explosions coming from the street in the distance. After that, more explosions came closer and closer!
Ye Xiao swept his gaze over and could not help but frown a little.
“What a powerful star beast. If this were to continue, those two grandmasters would probably not be able to hold on. Smaller star beasts could be handled by the garrison team, but this one is. I'm afraid many people will die.”.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Xiao took the green leaves from the flowerbed beside him.
The Amazing Saber Intent was mixed with the extremely dense spiritual energy of a grandmaster condensed within the leaves causing it to emit a dazzling golden light!
“Go!”
With a flick of his finger, the green leaf turned into a golden lightning strike and shot out.
