CHAPTER 365: 266 TAKE OFFICE! NORTH PEAK!

"Bzz! Bzz!!!"

As the scattered pile of stones rapidly spun and kept piecing themselves together, yet another Spark Splash erupted next to it with a thunderous boom.

The Mountain Giant’s freshly formed thigh was actually blasted apart!

Losing the connection at the thigh, the lower leg also shattered to pieces.

This Celestial Treasure Race creature is bizarre enough—during normal rest, it turns into a pile of rocks.

And when it wants to resume normal form and fight, it has to build its body from the ground up.

It was precisely because of this that Du Yu and the others seized on the Mountain Giant’s trait and focused all attacks on its lower half!

The Mountain Giant’s remaining left leg, under the explosive shockwave, toppled uncontrollably to one side.

"Ding~"

In the next instant, an arrow shot into the roaring blast, striking precisely at the stone left leg.

Right then, a half-formed waist sprouted from the left leg, and they stepped back together by three or four meters.

Damn, that body’s piecing together real quick!

After taking such a pounding, you can still grow a new waist?

In midair, Du Yu drew his bow and nocked another arrow.

And on his shoulder, Xiaoyan was gathering a Fireball in front of her face. In the gap between Spark Splash charges, all three long tails aimed at the target—Fox Tail Flowing Flame was loosed!

"Hit the waist! Blow up its damn waist!" Du Yu shouted loudly.

"Ying~" Xiaoyan let out a girlish whimper, and the three Fox Tail Flowing Flames shot out like laser beams—brilliant and dazzling, beautiful beyond words.

The three brilliant beams converged into a single point, focusing on the Mountain Giant’s newly formed waist and abdomen.

"BOOM!"

Yet another explosion roared out, shaking the heavens and the earth!

On the other side, Li Mengnan braced her long spear in front, sweeping aside flying stones, and shouted, "Don’t let it form! Tornado!"

Wind Witch tightly shut both her knitted eyes, driving all her strength to stir up Wind Demon Breath.

Glory Gold·Tornado!

Little You Ying was also hugging a giant torch, holding it high as flames raged forth.

Glory Gold·Ghostly Firefly Spin!

The Tornado swept out, and together with the rapidly spinning Wind and Fire Vortex, frantically churned beneath the Mountain Giant.

Mountain Giant?

Strictly speaking, up to now the Mountain Giant didn’t even have an upper body formed!

It had just one lonely left leg, and even the waist and abdomen were only a small chunk.

Li Mengnan kept an eye on Xiaoyan from afar. Seeing the little fox fire off another Spark Splash, she quickly shouted, "Stop!"

Wind Witch and Little You Ying halted their attacks at once, but clearly their coordination missed a beat.

The winds hadn’t stopped yet, and the ultra-fast Spark Splash was already on its way.

The massive Fireball, volatile as can be, would explode at the slightest touch.

In that instant, an explosive flash lit up the Tornado’s edge.

"Whoosh..."

The lower half of the Mountain Giant’s body was flung a dozen meters by the blast, carving a long mark on the ground, now entirely outside the ring of boulders.

Lin Shiwei clamped her legs around the deer’s belly and called out, "Go, Mengnan!"

Li Mengnan also squeezed her long legs around her deer’s belly, "Let’s go!"

The two Dust Spirit Deer dashed toward the battlefield, their silhouettes crossing paths!

Lin Shiwei and Du Yu’s target was the Mountain Giant’s lower half.

Li Mengnan and her team aimed for the scattered, blown-apart rubble strewn all over the ground!

The two girls called out in unison: "Little Wind Blow!"

In that instant, Bai Lu, Bai Yujing, and Wind Witch all unleashed a massive wind surge!

Across the ravaged battlefield, Bai Yujing and Wind Witch whipped up a furious gale, blasting all rubble northward.

Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan’s figures crossed by, and Bai Lu cast Little Wind Blow as well, sweeping the Mountain Giant’s lonely left leg and waist-abdomen westward!

One blowing north from the south, one blowing west from the east.

The faint mist trails left by the two Dust Spirit Deer formed a perfect cross.

Pity the Mountain Giant—before it could even piece itself together, it was already chopped up...

"Lift it up, Tai Sui, send it flying!" Du Yu commanded through the Contract.

Little Tai Sui was still wrapping the human-faced boulder with Hollow Bamboo Shoot—not fully able to imprison the giant rocks, but at least able to restrict their movement.

Hearing the master’s order, Little Tai Sui gripped its staff and slammed it heavily into the earth.

Under Bai Lu’s howling wind, the Mountain Giant’s lower half kept rolling westward.

Suddenly, a gigantic bamboo shoot tip burst from the ground, its point perfectly jabbing into that massive left leg.

The stone-built lower body was instantly sent flying skyward!

And as Bai Lu’s winds pressed on, the half body was blown to the cliff’s edge, then out beyond the mountain peak.

"Now’s the time, Xiaoyan!" Du Yu shouted, also signaling to Lin Shiwei.

The girl understood immediately and ordered Bai Lu to stop using Demon Skills.

The gale stopped instantly!

Compared to an uncontrollable Tornado, a directional wind surge is much easier to halt.

As Bai Lu reined in the wind, Xiaoyan’s Spark Splash streaked through the sky, targeting the shattered half-body above.

"BOOM!"

The lonely stone left leg exploded in midair!

With the Mountain Giant’s characteristics, as long as its lower half is destroyed, it can never reform its upper body!

And Lin Shiwei’s next finishing move was a perfect example for all Demon Tamers!

At the girl’s command, Bai Lu leapt skyward, pursuing the debris, unleashing a gusty blast.

Xuan Platinum·Little Wind Blow!

Honestly, with a Xuan Platinum quality, should it even be called "Little Wind Blow" anymore?

Maybe "Tempest Blow" would fit better?

The Dust Spirit Immortal Deer vaulted up, gliding through the air while blowing the shattered stones out past the cliff’s edge.

"Nice one~" Du Yu clicked his tongue inwardly. This chick’s fierce as hell!

After the Spark Splash detonated, the Mountain Giant’s left leg and waist-abdomen were gone—just a pile of rocks left.

But Lin Shiwei still rode her deer, flying through the air, blowing the rocks along: "Dust Fog Assault!"

Bai Lu immediately released a flock of Foggy Immortal Deer, ramming into the sky—are they aiming to smash every last stone?

"Fox Tail Flowing Flame, Xiaoyan, let’s help too!" Du Yu was being carried like a kite by the Rose Three Spirits’ vines, soaring through the skies with the White Deer Female General.

"Ying!" Fox Tail Flowing Flame raked out in a sweeping salvo, wild and overbearing, obliterating clouds of rock fragments!

On the north side of the mountain, Li Mengnan rode Bai Yujing, also soaring off the cliff.

With the wind blowing, Dust Fog Assault, Little Wind Blade, Ghostly Firefly Spin and other Demon Skills ripped the rubble to shreds one after another...

You know, when they planned the tactic, Du Yu and the girls only discussed the "dismemberment" part.

But after executing that plan, the girls followed up with exactly the same moves!

Not only dismember, but pulverize the corpse too?

During the time Du Yu was gone, Li Mengnan had evidently been thoroughly trained by Lin Shiwei—at least their styles were cut from the same cloth!

"Master, Master! Demon Soul!"

Little Tai Sui’s message echoed through the Contract. Du Yu shouted, "Shiwei, let’s go find Mengnan! The Demon Soul appeared!"

"Hm?" Lin Shiwei snapped her head up and looked north.

Bai Lu instantly turned, a rush of wind beneath her belly sweeping her straight north.

Du Yu squinted slightly—no need for more corpse smashing now.

Because the Mountain Giant had no strength left to rebuild, and a massive Demon Soul was racing north!

Du Yu: "Little Tower?"

Shadow Gu Tower: "Permission granted."

Whoosh~

The snowy white deer figure darted through the sky, with Du Yu trailing like a kite, summoning an exquisite Shadow Gu Tower.

Trying to run?

Nowhere to go!

Ever since I got the Shadow Gu Tower, my fighting philosophy is summed up in four words: leave nothing behind!

Bai Lu, lightning fast, dove straight into the dense Demon Soul.

"Bzz!"

The Shadow Gu Tower buzzed non-stop!

Stay here, stones! Make your last contribution—help my master cultivate.

...

A few minutes later, the two Dust Spirit Deer that had soared across the skies quietly returned to the North Peak’s summit.

"THUD! THUD! THUD!"

Unexpectedly, when the Blast Stones saw the Godslayer squad return, they rolled and bounced all the way to the cliff’s edge, then leapt right off like dumplings—no hesitation at all.

Du Yu: "..."

These rocks really know what’s up.

Li Mengnan hugged an enormous, irregular crystal in her arms, landing gracefully: "We... uh, we really killed the Mountain Guardian Beast."

Even after witnessing the Shadow Gu Tower swallow the Demon Soul, the girl still couldn’t quite believe their team had actually taken down a Spirit Level Peak Demon Beast!

It all happened so fast—yet felt so natural...

For Li Mengnan, Spirit-level Demon Beasts were always akin to Divine Beasts.

She already had Dust Spirit Deer·Yiren herself and knew firsthand just how insanely strong her pet was, let alone a Spirit Level·Peak Stage Mountain Giant.

Unbeknownst to all, Yan Organization’s overall strength had grown to this level.

Lin Shiwei’s lips curled up, her heart soaring with joy!

The team’s tactical execution had been spot-on.

From start to finish, they only saw the Mountain Giant’s rocky form through the Demon Soul—never once did they see its body fully pieced together!

They controlled the enemy from beginning to end, from life to death!

"Ying~"

"Nai!"

"Oooo~~~" The Demon Pets took a few seconds to process, then burst out in cheer together.

Fox Cries, Deer Calls, Bear Roars—all sorts of magical beast howls filled the mountaintop!

Du Yu tilted his head and gave Fox Xiaoyan on his cheek a gentle bump, passing a message through the Contract: "You get top credit for this!"

"Ying~" Xiaoyan hooked one long tail around Du Yu’s neck, lowered her fluffy little head, and affectionately rubbed her furry cheek against his face.

The reason the Mountain Giant could never re-form was entirely due to Xiaoyan’s epic damage!

Du Yu looked at all the Demon Pets and said, "Everyone, you all did amazing.

Everyone’s contribution was crucial—this victory belongs to all of us!

When we get back, I’m treating everyone to a feast!"

"Ying~"

"Nai!"

"Pop." As the Demon Pets cheered, Xiaoyan’s golden tail tip gently tapped Du Yu’s face.

"Hmm?" Du Yu turned and looked at Xiaoyan.

"Ying~" Xiaoyan lowered her head to gaze at him, golden-brown fox eyes sparkling with mischief:

"Just now, when you talked to me alone through the Contract... that wasn’t what you said."

Du Yu’s face froze in embarrassment, and he turned away at once, "Come on, let’s head to the designated area—we still have to stay inside for the full 24 hours.

The sooner we get in, the sooner we go home."

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!" Little You Ying hugged the giant torch, hopping ahead energetically as if leading the whole squad.

Now,

we are the Mountain Guardian Beasts of the North Peak!
