Chapter 1673: Simple and Brutal
Monster Beast?
Da Huzi the Leader was startled; when he tried to run, he couldn't dodge Shi Yuan's bone club and was struck directly, splintering his brain matter.
The Leader was only in the late stage of the Zao Hua Realm, so he couldn't block Shi Yuan's strike at all.
Huo Wu only told Shi Yuan to block them.
But Shi Yuan thought a fight could begin, and as soon as he struck he showed no mercy. A few clubs smashed down, turning those soldiers into mush.
Huo Wu covered his eyes, regretting having sent Shi Yuan out.
Bai Hu added, "That's a bit much!"
Shi Yuan asked Bai Hu, "How is it too much?"
Bai Hu replied, "Against someone of such a low realm, you could just use a sword! Using a club splatters brain matter everywhere—how disgusting!"
Huo Wu was almost speechless.
These Monster Beasts followed Ye Liuyun; each time Ye Liuyun had already devised an attack plan and gave them clear orders, so they didn't need to think for themselves.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun usually led them into reckless battles, so their impression was that they must fight to the death. If Ye Liuyun didn't warn them, they wouldn't hold back.
Their thinking was straightforward; they never considered how Ye Liuyun would explain this to the Imperial Family's troops.
The surrounding Martial Cultivators, seeing Shi Yuan as a Monster Beast who had even slain officials and soldiers, retreated in panic, fearing the beasts might go berserk and involve them.
And with the city's guards slain, more soldiers would soon rush over.
At that moment, a squad of Formation Guards hurried over.
"All stop!" the Team Leader shouted.
He only wanted to investigate the situation before acting, because he already sensed many Tianzun Realm strongmen present.
But before he finished speaking, "Puff—" a black claw burst from his chest. The Black Panther had moved!
Huo Wu covered his eyes: "Now I've caused trouble for the Master! I only said to fight, not to let them kill people! Now even the Tianzun Realm guards are dead, and the Master will have a hard time explaining!"
When she lifted her hand from her eyes, that Formation Guard squad had already been taken down by the many Monster Beasts.
"That's way too weak!" Little Blue Ice, hands behind her back, complained like an adult, dissatisfied.
Among the arriving guards, only the Team Leader had just reached the Tianzun Realm, and he was instantly killed by the Black Tortoise; Little Blue Ice never found a suitable opponent and did not act.
Huo Wu sighed, thinking to himself that he must be crystal clear next time; these guys think far too simply!
Only the Dragon Eagle siblings, who often scout for Ye Liuyun, understand quite a bit.
Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, they immediately used the Divine Soul Contract to contact Ye Liuyun.
Soon after, Jin Yuanhui and the others also ended the fight.
They each wielded the divine artifacts Ye Liuyun had given them, so they had an edge against equally matched opponents. Only A Xing could not be taken down after a long assault.
In the end, with Lin Feier's help, they finally eliminated Xiong Tian.
Xiong Tian remained at the Yuan Dan Realm until death, so he was naturally no match for Lin Feier.
When the Formation Guard squad was wiped out, the surrounding Martial Cultivators, realizing the trouble was escalating, kept their distance.
They all knew that the City Lord's mansion and the strong members of the Formation Guard would arrive soon, and a great battle was about to break out here.
"Did we… cause trouble for the Master?" Piao Yun asked anxiously after the fight, glancing at the scene.
"Seems like it," Jin Yuanhui said, sounding a bit guilty.
She thought, "If only we hadn't killed those soldiers, the guard squad would be easier to explain; at least they're our own. The soldiers belong to the Imperial Family."
But the situation was already like this; saying it now was useless.
Everyone looked at Huo Wu. Huo Wu was the Team Leader of their group.
Huo Wu spread his hands helplessly and said, "We have to keep killing. At least we can't just wait to be killed!"
"Their strong ones have already arrived!" Black Panther called out, warning everyone.
Several Tianzun Realm pressure fields descended here, indicating many Tianzun strongmen inside the city.
"Let's fight first; if that fails we'll reveal our identities and ask the Master for aid!" Huo Wu urgently told the crowd.
When she said they could fight, Bai Hu immediately manifested his true form, let out a roar, and fired his signature golden spear at a charging Tianzun Martial Cultivator.
Then the Monster Beasts kept roaring, each revealing their true forms and charging out.
"Eagle Woman, come protect a few ladies with me!"
Huo Wu called out, assigning the most reliable Eagle Woman to protect several women with him, fearing he couldn't cover them all himself.
As for Little Blue Ice, she couldn't be summoned to act. Moreover, many strong fighters were in the city, so Little Blue Ice was needed in battle.
"Alright!" Eagle Woman, being sensible, readily agreed.
Tianzun Realm strongmen fought in the high skies to avoid harming ordinary people.
Meanwhile, many lower‑realm soldiers and Formation Guards surged from the ground, and Jin Yuanhui's group could only engage them.
Both sides plunged into a chaotic melee; even if they tried to explain they were acting for Ye Liuyun, no one would listen.
After receiving the Dragon Eagle siblings' message, Ye Liuyun instantly used a Formation teleport to arrive at South Mountain City.
While Huo Wu and the others fought for a while, Ye Liuyun had already arrived.
But he was a bit troubled by the current scene. "The Formation Guard squad, the City Lord's mansion, and the local garrison—these Monster Beasts really cause trouble!"
He also knew that among them the strong ones were Monster Beasts, so their actions would inevitably be simple and brutal.
Moreover, some Monster Beasts, even when ordered by Huo Wu, wouldn't move—such as Little Blue Ice, Bai Hu, and Shi Yuan.
Even Black Panther might not heed Huo Wu at a critical moment.
Unicorn and other Monster Beasts, having followed Huo Wu for a long time, tended to obey him.
Thus Ye Liuyun did not appear in person; instead he donned the Invisibility Cloak and slipped close to Jin Yuanhui's group to guard them from danger.
Huo Wu and Eagle Woman's protection of the women pleased Ye Liuyun. They didn't act unless another woman was in danger, then they would intervene.
Ye Liuyun watched for a while, shook his head helplessly. Though the Monster Beasts were clearly powerful, they were at a disadvantage, lacking strategy.
If he doesn't give another command, this whole team of theirs will be completely dealt with here.
At this moment, Fire Dance also used the Divine Soul Contract to send a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.
"Master, we are being bullied in South Mountain City! We are currently under siege, and we fear we won't hold out much longer!"
Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh when he received the Transmission Voice!
"Being bullied?" He knows his Monster Beasts all too well; none of them looks like they're being bullied.
