Chapter 80: Defeat the Bull Demon! The Upheaval of Jiangnan!

"What... has happened to this world?"

Amidst a patch of ruins, a boulder with a peculiar shape suddenly moved.

Immediately, this boulder actually transformed into a black bull, its eyes filled with confusion as it stared at its current location, utterly bewildered, "The mountains and rivers have suddenly shifted violently; it is completely different from before!"

"Is this still Kunlun Mountain?"

Clearly, this black bull was the previously arrogant Beast King known as the Bull Demon.

After encountering the strike of humanity's Ultimate Weapon, it had used every ounce of its strength to escape the center of the explosion at the very last moment, though it had still been knocked briefly unconscious due to the terror of that Ultimate Weapon.

By the time it woke up, its surroundings had turned into this state.

At this very moment, the confusion in the Bull Demon's eyes lingered, but it still instinctively shook the mud and rubble from its body, and after a moment of contemplation, it stepped toward the depths of Kunlun Mountain.

Not long after, the Bull Demon suddenly stopped, staring ahead with a vigilant expression.

Before it, a giant snake of massive proportions also revealed a look of surprise and vigilance; both sides were startled by the other's appearance.

"Bull Demon?"

"Snake King?"

For a moment, the bull and the snake spoke at the same time.

The massive creature the Bull Demon had encountered was Lu Chuan.

He was currently heading out, intending to temporarily leave this place filled with Kongjianliefeng, never expecting to run into the Bull Demon.

Recalling the human military's attack on the Bull Demon earlier, Lu Chuan asked with surprise and suspicion, "Aren't you dead?"

"You're the one who's dead!"

Instantly, two powerful bursts of air erupted from the Bull Demon's two massive nostrils, "This King has long wanted to have a battle with you; I didn't expect to meet you today."

"Snake King, I really want to know if you are truly as powerful as the legends say!"

After saying this, the Bull Demon immediately kicked off with all four limbs, charging toward Lu Chuan.

These two fellows were both Beast Kings, and now that they had suddenly met, they naturally had to determine who was superior.

"Heh!"

Seeing this, Lu Chuan sneered, his body slithering rapidly to dodge the Bull Demon's charge while simultaneously opening his mouth to spit out a lightning ball, "I also really want to test the power of this thing!"

Boom—

In an instant, the lightning ball exploded with a roar, its terrifying destructive power directly blasting a nearby boulder into powder, which scattered across the ground at the slightest touch.

During this time, the two sides swapped positions and stood in a standoff once again.

"Moo—"

The Bull Demon let out a low roar, the air columns from its nostrils becoming increasingly distinct, the power carried within them directly blowing away the debris on the ground.

Thump, thump, thump! At this moment, a faint spiritual light flickered around its body, and it erupted with the aura of Shackle Realm Stage Three, continuing its charge under this enhancement, "Savage Bull Charge!"

Bang! The Bull Demon's strength was immense, making Lu Chuan afraid to take it head-on.

He hurriedly employed 【Spirit Snake Swift Step】 to dodge another of the Bull Demon's attacks, then suddenly opened his mouth to spit out a thick, pitch-black mist—【Corrosive Venom】! "It actually has no effect?"

Seeing the Bull Demon rush out from the 【Corrosive Venom】 without its body showing any signs of decay or rot, Lu Chuan exclaimed in surprise, "This guy is certainly thick-skinned!"

"It seems I cannot clash with it head-on, otherwise... it will be very difficult to take it down!"

"Snake King, is all you can do is dodge?"

Following this taunt from the Bull Demon, Lu Chuan suddenly swept his giant tail out, striking the Bull Demon directly and forcing it to stumble back dozens of steps.

Before it could steady itself, Lu Chuan accelerated again, rushing forward, "Dodge? I would never dodge and weave in front of a weakling!"

"Moo—"

Because of these words, the Bull Demon's inner rage erupted instantly, and the next moment it charged toward Lu Chuan almost recklessly. Bang! Bang! Bang! Wherever the two Beast Kings met, a large number of dull, powerful collision sounds rang out, the commotion causing nearby Beasts to not dare to approach.

At this time, Lu Chuan stared intently at the Bull Demon's figure, his mood slightly complex, "This guy is too resilient; I must find a way to finish this quickly."

He had already tried 【Corrosive Venom】 and attacked with his sharp fangs, yet he still hadn't left a single wound on the Bull Demon.

Rumble! Suddenly, the Bull Demon let out a muffled groan, its massive body crashing to the ground.

Seizing this opportunity, Lu Chuan quickly moved forward, wrapping around it, and exerted force with all the muscles in his body, constantly shrinking the space for the opponent to move.

"Snake King... you..."

The Bull Demon widened its eyes, discovering that the more it struggled, the greater the pressure it felt.

It raised its head to look at Lu Chuan, suddenly discovering a peculiar light flickering in the other's eyes, and subsequently, the killing intent it felt toward the Snake King gradually dissipated, replaced by waves of reverence.

A moment later, the Bull Demon looked at Lu Chuan with an expression of admiration, "Boss!"

"The 【Soul-Seizing Pupil】 is indeed useful."

For a moment, Lu Chuan let out a long sigh of relief, revealing a gratified smile.

At the same time, in Jiangnan District.

The central city of Jiangnan—Water City, after experiencing this great upheaval, had turned into a land of a thousand lakes, where lakes as wide as a hundred miles could be seen everywhere.

These lakes had divided the original Water City into countless fragments of various sizes, and the surviving citizens struggled to survive on these fragments.

It could be said that the entire Water City seemed to have lost contact with the outside world; without a boat, it was impossible to travel here at all.

Vehicles left on the ground were like scrap metal, and ordinary people wouldn't even spare them a glance.

"Fortunately, the Ability User Alliance's base is not over there, otherwise it would have all been finished!"

"It was an extremely correct decision not to establish a base in Water City back then!"

A thousand miles away, when Bai Shijing received this news, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He silently summarized the news from all over Jiangnan District in his mind, and after some thought, he revealed a smile, "In this way, the entire Jiangnan will be almost entirely under my control in the future."

"The tasks the Master entrusted to me can also be completed better..."

"It's bad!"

Suddenly, a hurried sound rang out.

Bai Shijing followed the sound and looked over, discovering a subordinate rushing in with a worried expression.

He frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"The Northeast Black Bear King... has slaughtered its way into the headquarters!"

"What?"

Hearing these words, Bai Shijing's eyes widened instantly, his face full of astonishment; he had never expected that, apart from his own master, there would actually be a Beast so rampant as to dare to directly invade human territory, and a territory that gathered so many human experts at that.

Once he regained his senses, he walked while shouting in a low voice to his subordinate, "Go over and take a look first!"

At this very moment, a fierce battle was erupting on the base's city wall.

As soon as Bai Shijing appeared not far away, he saw a black bear fighting intensely against dozens of Ability Users, yet the black bear clearly held the advantage amidst the crowd's siege.

This caused a wave of surprise in Bai Shijing's heart, but after thinking it over, he felt it was rather normal.

After all... how could dozens of Awakening Realm humans possibly topple a Shackle Realm Stage Three Beast King? Not to mention, the Black Bear King had gathered hundreds of Beast underlings, who were attacking the city wall without a moment's pause.

It was estimated that the humans inside the city wall would soon be surrounded by the Beasts.
