Chapter 120: Zhang Chu Is Being Beaten to Death

A beast-transformation combat form? And it’s a Violent King Kong!

Looking at the behemoth leaping down from above, Zhang Chu groaned in despair, "What kind of sins have I committed to run into a monster like this?"

Forget about standard Orcs. A Star-Beast like the Violent King Kong is simply absurd. They possess innate divine strength, combined with the raw physical power and agility of an ape. Among Star-Beasts of the same rank, they are the "tanks."

A Violent King Kong that has sprouted scales has reached at least the 9-star level. Gu Yue, having fused with a 9-star Violent King Kong to become an Orc, is already invincible based on the power of the beast's blood alone. And now, he has entered his beast-transformation combat form. Even before he got close, Zhang Chu could feel a crushing pressure.

Zhang Chu dared not clash head-on with this beast. He quickly activated his "Teleportation" technique, vanishing ten meters away.

Boom!

Gu Yue slammed both fists into the ground. The earth shook, stones flew, and he smashed a shallow crater into the ground.

"God-Slaying Sword Technique!"

Zhang Xueying rushed forward to engage. Her sword energy struck Gu Yue, but it felt like nothing more than a tickle. Gu Yue threw a single punch, and the resulting shockwave instantly sent Zhang Xueying flying.

"Pfft!"

Huang Lili caught her, but Zhang Xueying spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to one knee. Hu Sanyi and Wang Peng exchanged a look and quickly stepped in, only to be blasted away by Gu Yue the moment they appeared.

With red-rimmed eyes, Gu Yue lunged toward Zhang Chu once more. Zhang Chu dodged repeatedly, but Gu Yue pursued relentlessly. The shockwaves from the Thirteen Flaming Swords were blocked one by one by Gu Yue, or simply negated by the scales covering his body. With the serum of a Violent King Kong in his veins, there was no chance of Gu Yue running out of stamina—at least, not before Zhang Chu hit his own limits.

"Zhang Chu, get out of the way! I’m going to blast this bastard to hell!"

At the critical moment, Chen Long pulled a massive, two-meter-long cannon from his storage ring.

"A high-energy electromagnetic cannon?"

Seeing the weapon on Chen Long’s shoulder, the others gasped in awe. Even Zhang Chu’s cheek twitched. "Damn, as expected of the top official’s son in Binzhou; he even managed to get his hands on a high-energy electromagnetic cannon from inside the Martial Arts Management Bureau."

The high-energy electromagnetic cannon used electromagnetic force to fire a beam specifically designed to suppress Dual-Power Warriors. It was far more powerful than the tanks Zhang Chu had encountered before.

"Teleport!"

Seeing Chen Long about to pull the trigger, Zhang Chu quickly flashed a hundred meters away.

Bang!

The next moment, a purple electromagnetic beam roared toward Gu Yue.

Clang!

Gu Yue curled his body, and the scales on his skin proliferated wildly, forming a protective shield in front of him. The electromagnetic blast slammed into the shield. It vibrated violently, forcing Gu Yue back ten meters. Just as Chen Long was overjoyed and prepared to fire another shot, Gu Yue charged forward, still holding his shield.

"Pfft!"

The shield slammed directly into Chen Long, sending him flying into the air before he crashed heavily to the ground. Gu Yue leapt high, intending to stomp Chen Long into pulp.

"Chen Long, watch out!"

The severely injured Zhang Xueying, Hu Sanyi, and the others watched, their hearts in their throats. This was just too invincible! Not even a high-energy electromagnetic cannon could break through! If the God-Fall Alliance gathered thousands of Orcs to lay siege to a city, no one but a Spirit-Realm master would be able to hold them back. Just thinking about it sent a chill down their spines.

As Gu Yue descended, several streaks of sword energy struck him, knocking him aside. Zhang Chu, from a distance, couldn't afford to hesitate. He activated the Vine Demon seed in his dantian. A vine erupted from his palm, coiled around Chen Long, and pulled him quickly toward Zhang Xueying and the others.

"Am I seeing things? Brother Chu’s palm actually grew a vine!" Hu Sanyi was stunned. Wang Peng looked on in astonishment, "What martial skill is Little Chu using? I’ve never heard of it." Zhang Xueying’s lips parted in surprise, but this was no time to dwell on it.

Gu Yue had gone berserk and was attacking again. Zhang Chu gripped his Red Flame Sword and met him head-on. After a few exchanges, Zhang Chu found himself pinned to the ground.

"Let’s see what kind of talent the Alliance Leader saw in you!" Gu Yue swung his fists, pummeling Zhang Chu.

"Pfft!"

The force of the punch was immense; Zhang Chu felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter.

"Diamond Armor-Breaking Body!"

He consumed another 500 combat power points to condense his physical defense, but Gu Yue shattered it in a few blows. Zhang Chu kept consuming combat power to maintain the defense, while Gu Yue kept smashing it. Watching Zhang Chu being pinned down and ruthlessly beaten, Hu Sanyi and the others were going insane, but they were too badly injured to move.

"Director Luo, Bureau Chief Fan, request to fire high-energy missiles! Please, fire the missiles!"

"Zhang Chu is about to be beaten to death by the Orc!"

"Hurry!"

Watching Zhang Chu cough up blood again and again, Zhang Xueying dialed Fan Tianlei and Luo Zhidong’s numbers, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Xueying, launching high-energy missiles requires the approval of the Martial Arts Management Bureau’s board. It takes time." Through the video link, watching Zhang Chu being savagely beaten, Fan Tianlei and Luo Zhidong felt their own hearts racing. But rules were rules. Launching high-energy missiles was a major affair; it required board approval to generate the keys and activate the missile system. It would take at least half an hour.

"Teacher Xueying, think of something! Little Chu is going to be killed!" Wang Peng slumped on the ground, tears welling in his eyes.

"Uncle Fan, call my dad!" Chen Long roared. How could they just stand by and watch Zhang Chu be beaten to death?

"Zhang Chu, hold on, I’ll find a way to save you!" Zhang Xueying cried, her face streaked with tears. In that moment, she realized just how important Zhang Chu was to her.

"Brother Zhang Chu!" Huang Lili was on the verge of fainting. "Sister Xueying, please, you have to think of something! I don't want him to die!"

"Dad." Zhang Xueying’s hands trembled as she dialed Zhang Daoyi’s video call. "Dad, we’re at the 203 boundary marker on Mount Qingcheng. We’ve encountered an Orc, and Zhang Chu is about to be beaten to death. Please, activate the wartime plan and launch high-energy missiles to save him!"

"What?" At home, Zhang Daoyi saw the Orc in the video and sprang from his sofa. "Those idiots at the Martial Arts Management Bureau, they’re not doing anything? Hold on for five minutes. In five minutes, the high-energy missiles will reach the strike zone. If the God-Fall Alliance bastards dare to touch my son-in-law, I’ll send a hundred thousand troops to level Mount Qingcheng!"

Zhang Daoyi hung up and dialed an internal number: "Activate the wartime plan. Lock onto the 203 boundary marker on Mount Qingcheng. Fire two missiles, now!"

In an instant, alarms rang out at the military command, and all warriors mobilized. The missile battalion began deploying the launch plan according to the coordinates.

At that moment, at the 203 boundary marker on Mount Qingcheng, the ground had been smashed into a pit. Zhang Chu had consumed 10,000 combat power points, and his rank had dropped to 5-star. Gu Yue threw punch after punch; Zhang Chu was covered in wounds, blood spraying everywhere.

Even Gu Yue was stunned. This was the toughest warrior he had ever encountered; he had survived hundreds of heavy blows on physical strength alone. "Kid, you’ve got guts, but the Alliance Leader ordered your death, so you won’t survive today. I’ll make you feel the life slipping away, one punch at a time!"

Boom!

Gu Yue raised his fists and unleashed ten more blows. The Diamond Armor-Breaking Body shattered once more.

"Ding-dong!"

Just as Zhang Chu was slipping into a daze, at the brink of death, the system’s voice finally echoed in his mind: "The 'Diamond Armor-Breaking Body' has reached its daily limit. Host’s life is in danger. Will you consume 20,000 mental power points to learn the passive 'Devour' latest form?"

*Damn system! I thought you were going to let me die!*

Hearing the system’s voice, Zhang Chu’s eyes snapped open. He stared viciously at Gu Yue, "You bastard, it’s not yet decided who’s going to kill whom today!"
