Chapter 755 - Battle with the Beastmen
Chapter 755 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" opens with: Killing the donkey after the grinding is done, when Lu Hong looked up again, the... See what unfolds next!
Killing the donkey after the grinding is done, when Lu Hong looked up again, the trace of the Goddess of Fate had already vanished.
Returning to his own body, the strength of his soul was forcibly reduced by the other party, a disparity that was truly difficult to accept for a time.
At this point, Lu Hong had nothing to complain about. Now the Star Sea was under the control of the Beast clan, and the urgent matter at hand was to return to the star domain. But damn it, he was only at the Third Transition Early Stage. How could he wade through the Death Belt?
Perhaps he should go find Eferot first and temporarily rest in the three towns of the northern territory.
Having made up his mind, Lu Hong stood up and began his long journey across the vast Star Sea.
Although his realm was on the lower side, Lu Hongās eyes were set very high. Furthermore, with the ability to activate both the "Heavenly God Descends" and "Lion Kingās Arrival" top-tier BUFFs simultaneously, he encountered many beastmen along the way, yet no one was able to stop him.
Relying on the vast extent of his innate Magic Power, Lu Hong was able to briefly traverse the Star Sea. When his Magic Power was about to be exhausted, he entered a dimension for meditation to recover.
Thus, after two years, Lu Hong finally arrived at the three towns under Eferotās control.
As soon as he set foot on solid ground, Lu Hong detected a strong scent of blood.
Passing through the dense wilderness forest, a sight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood struck his view.
Those who had died were the human civilians taken in by Eferot. The blatant massacre stirred fury in Lu Hongās heart.
Eferot must have encountered some trouble.
Lu Hong hastily rushed towards the direction of the City Lord Mansion. The beast soldiers soon spotted the dashing human and surrounded him.
With one Chaotic Uprising, the beast soldiers exploded into a rain of blood. Having ascended to the God Realm, Lu Hongās understanding of many skills was incomparably thorough, and dealing with these Second Transition beast soldiers was truly a breeze.
When he reached outside the City Lord Mansion, he heard Eferotās angry roar.
Accompanied by a violent collision.
Eferot was punched and sent flying, coincidentally crashing right at Lu Hongās feet.
Eferot, trapped in a dire situation, immediately swung a fist at the nearby Lu Hong, but was easily blocked, "Big brother, itās me."
That term "big brother" pulled Eferot back from the brink of despair and collapse. Upon seeing the familiar appearance of Lu Hong, Eferot urgently said, "Run, escape, hurry and flee!"
"Flee?" At that moment, three figures emerged from the ruined City Lord Mansion, all ancient beastmen.
The leading Wen Yang Tiger Beastman sneered, "Do you think you can escape?"
Since the Blood-crazed God was slain in the Eternal Continent, the Wen Yang Tiger clan had lost their patron. With no Heavenly God to rely on, they chose to serve other clans, becoming lackeys to others.
Seeing the arrogant Wen Yang Tiger, Eferot was clearly nervous, obviously beaten into fear by the opponent.
Besides the Wen Yang Tiger, on the right side stood a pig-headed man, repulsive in appearance, but certainly posing a greater threat than the turtle clan member on the left.
"Eferot carries the Lionheart Bloodline, are you here to kill him?" Lu Hong asked with some confusion.
"The Lionheart God has left this world behind, hence this world no longer needs the Lionheart Bloodline!" The pig-headed man sneered, "The Lionheart God has abandoned us, so his bloodline must be utterly exterminated! Wen Yang, kill them for me!"
At the pig-headed manās command, the Wen Yang Tiger dashed towards Lu Hong.
His speed was swift, reaching Lu Hongās side in an instant, his tiger paw glowing with a bloody light as it reached towards Lu Hongās chest.
Dodging the attack, Lu Hong countered with a whip leg.
The Wen Yang Tiger raised his arm to block, the bloody patterns on his body lighting up, as mysterious forces continuously enhanced the Wen Yang Tigerās capabilities.
Soon, Lu Hong was unable to match the opponentās strength and could only dodge.
At that moment, Eferot also joined the battle, the two of them united against the Wen Yang Tiger, but still failing to gain the upper hand.
The observing pig-headed man was quite pleased with this, thinking that his masterās decision to take in the Wen Yang Tiger as an enforcer was an extremely wise choice. And not to forget the turtle clan, one with strong offense and one with top-notch defense. The pig-headed manās clan could not fail to prosper!
The Bloodstripe Tiger was clearly a Third Transition Peak powerhouse. Eferot, although not inferior to the usual Third Transition Late Stage, still had a huge gap in comparison to the Peak, especially when considering the Bloodline Power that the Bloodstripe Tigerās race possessed. Even though it was slightly deficient compared to the Lionheart Bloodline, Eferot didnāt have any advantage over it.
With no advantage in Bloodline and being weaker in level, it was only logical to get thrashed.
Avoiding the opponentās attacks, Lu Hong complained to Eferot, "Havenāt you made any progress over all these years?"
Compared to their previous one-on-one fight, the pressure on Eferot was now relatively lighter, and he even had the energy to retort, "Iāve already been working hard. Arenāt you just at the Third Transition Early Stage yourself?"
"Me? I just havenāt had the time to cultivate."
"Then where have you been all these years?"
Hearing their conversation, the Bloodstripe Tiger ragedāa feeling of being treated with utter disregard.
Immediately, the Bloodstripe Tiger unleashed its Bloodline Power. A powerful tide of blood surged within its body, emitting wave after wave of powerful shockwaves, aiming to obliterate both Lu Hong and Eferot.
But what Lu Hong was waiting for was precisely this moment. He raised his hand and pointed distantly at the Bloodstripe Tiger, "Chaotic Uprising!"
Under Lu Hongās guidance, the blood within the Bloodstripe Tigerās body suddenly became chaotic. The blood tide that had formed reversed its flow, and the massive impact exploded both inside and outside the Bloodstripe Tigerās body, reducing it to a downpour of blood and ensuring its thorough demise.
Having successfully dealt with the Bloodstripe Tiger, Lu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, if the Bloodstripe Tiger hadnāt utilized its innate skills and had simply relied on melee attacks, he and Eferot would have been defeated sooner or later. Their previous conversation had also been intentional.
After dispatching the Bloodstripe Tiger, before they had the chance to catch their breaths, a massive pitchfork swept their way.
The nauseating stench the strike kicked up made them want to vomit, and they quickly rolled back to dodge the Pig-Headed Personās assault.
With a bang, the pitchfork smashed the ground, and the cracked earth immediately kicked up waves of air like blades, slicing Lu Hongās skin.
Eferot also suffered considerable damage from this follow-up attack.
In response, Lu Hong, bracing against the torrent of air, shielded Eferot and then unleashed a Blood Qi Shockwave to counter the skill deployed by the Pig-Headed Person.
The clash of skills leveled everything around them, and Lu Hong, along with Eferot, were flung a hundred yards away by the explosive impact. The blood dripping from the corners of their mouths was testament to their significant injuries.
As for the Pig-Headed Personās side, with the Turtle Tribe activating defensive shields, they were as comfortable as can be, unaffected in the slightest.
"Heh, I didnāt expect you to have some tricks up your sleeve," the Pig-Headed Person remarked with scorn, "You actually managed to defeat a strong member of the Bloodstripe Tiger race. I must admit, that really surprises me. It seems Iāll have to step in personally."
Before his words finished, the Pig-Headed Person instantly moved in front of Lu Hong. Eferotās strength had been clearly ascertained earlier. To him, the biggest variable was Lu Hong, so defeating him was key.
Though the Pig-Headed Person appeared bulky, his speed was truly fast. Lu Hong couldnāt react in time and took a hit from the Pig-Headed Personās pitchfork.
Seeing Lu Hong impaled through the shoulder by the pitchfork, Eferot let out a furious roar. The Lionheart Bloodline burst forth, and he threw a punch at the Pig-Headed Personās head.
But the Pig-Headed Person simply lifted his leg and kicked, sending Eferot flying into the dust and mud.
The pained Lu Hong finally called forth the holy sword within him, and with the Blood Holy Sword in hand.
The power of Blood Qi erupted from within him, momentarily forcing the Pig-Headed Person back.
Looking at the sharp Holy Sword in Lu Hongās hand, the Pig-Headed Person was slightly taken aback, "Not a bad weapon. It looks like my arsenal will be gaining a new addition."
"Eferot carries the Lionheart Bloodline, a top-tier Beast Race lineage; who are you to dare to covet him?"
"Me?" The Pig-Headed Person chuckled, "I am Zhu Wujie, a great general of the Pig Saint Clan, following the Saint Masterās orders to sever the Lionheart Bloodline, to completely cut off the Lionheart Bloodline from the Star Sea."
"Arenāt you afraid that the Lionheart God will return to the Star Sea and hold you accountable?!"
"Fear is not for me to decide; the Saint Master and the other Heavenly Gods have their own judgments. Iām simply following orders," Zhu Wujie chuckled, "Human, I see you have some skills. The Saint Master is merciful; if you are willing to surrender wholeheartedly, I can spare you. How about it?"
"Thanks for the kind offer, but it seems I too possess the Lionheart Bloodline. I wonder if you could protect me in front of your clanās Saint Master?" As he spoke, Lu Hong activated the form of āLion Kingās Descent.ā Simultaneously, divine light surrounded him, and āHeavenly God Descendsā was also initiated.
With the addition of two buffs, Lu Hongās strength surged explosively.
Zhu Wujieās expression grew serious, "It seems I have misjudged."
Saying so, Zhu Wujie also stimulated his Bloodline Power, and a wild pig-person phantom emerged behind him, pouring immense strength into his body and making him grow more than six inches taller.
