"This thing..."
Elder Li's eyes narrowed, subtly sensing something unusual.
"It's a Forbidden Mist Great Fiend!"
Chen Shu licked his lips and said, "But it wasn't transferred away?"
However, considering that the Violet Moon Great Fiend itself had detached from the Forbidden Mist, it made sense that it wasn't transferred.
"A legendary creature?"
Elder Li raised an eyebrow. "We'll need to be more careful."
"No need to worry."
Chen Shu shook his head and smiled. "This thing's sanity is a bit muddled, it's sometimes clear-headed and sometimes frenzied."
"Oh? Like the Nine-Tailed Fox?"
Ning Bufan was slightly taken aback, recalling the Forbidden Mist Great Fiend that the elder had slain.
"More or less, but it does have moments of clarity. If I'm not mistaken, when it rises, it signifies its frenzied state."
Chen Shu rubbed his chin.
After all, what normal Beast Emperor would act as the moon every day?
Simultaneously, its light amplified the combat power of the fiends below, which was actually a consumption of its own strength.
Only a mentally unsound Beast Emperor would do such a thing.
"But you don't need to worry, this thing is severely injured right now. It definitely hasn't recovered."
Chen Shu looked up at the sky, noticing the dimness of the moonlight, a far cry from its peak period.
Ning Bufan raised an eyebrow. "Severely injured? You did that?"
"Principal, you truly think highly of me."
Chen Shu shook his head. "This thing was shot by Old Qiao. That was an attack from a legendary contracted spirit burning its life!"
His eyes held a daze as he recalled Old Qiao's peerless style of brutally slaying Beast Emperors.
"It's still not dead?!"
Elder Li's expression shifted, subtly guessing the terror of that attack.
"Can't be helped, this thing's vitality is beyond that of ordinary Beast Emperors."
Chen Shu shrugged, feeling a hint of regret.
Although Forbidden Mist Great Fiends and Beast Emperors were both legendary creatures, there was generally a gap in their strength.
Elder Li said, "Since it's not an issue, then we'll leave it be."
"Elder Li, of course it's an issue!"
Chen Shu's brows twitched as he quickly said, "It's severely injured now, a very serious injury, and it definitely hasn't recovered."
"Hm? And then?"
Elder Li's expression shifted, a bad premonition subtly surfacing.
"The corpse of a legendary creature is worth a fortune..."
"Stop! Stop right there!"
Elder Li immediately interrupted Chen Shu, his eyes holding a peculiar expression. "You kid, can you be any bolder?!"
"Don't I have you?"
Chen Shu rubbed his hands. "You are the closest existence to a legend! Dealing with a dying, severely injured Great Fiend, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?"
"You brat, when you brag, don't drag me into it!"
Elder Li spread his hands. "I can't defeat it."
"Ning and I will assist from the side."
Chen Shu was still persistent, attempting to persuade them.
"I can throw a hundred bottles of death potions, and Bunny can provide life-saving capabilities, plus Ning's combat power, and then there's the Gold Fertilizer..."
"Kid, do you have any concept of what a Beast Emperor is?"
Elder Li glanced at him. "Even with all the factors you mentioned, if we were to fight, I'd estimate it as a seven-three split."
"That's good enough! A seventy percent success rate!"
Chen Shu's expression instantly lit up. "And my Bunny can save lives, which is essentially a risk-free venture!"
"?"
Elder Li and Ning Bufan turned their heads to look at Chen Shu simultaneously. They said nothing, simply gazing at him.
"What's wrong..."
Chen Shu performed a tactical retreat. "Are you saying it's three-seven? But we could still try."
"If we kill it, it might drop a divine skill!"
His expression was agitated, and he could hardly wait to start fantasizing...
Elder Li looked at the greedy Chen Shu and sighed.
"What I mean is... in seven minutes, all three of us will be dead!"
"..."
Chen Shu's expression froze. "You call that a seven-three split?! A split for what?"
"A feast."
"..."
Chen Shu almost broke down, not expecting such an explanation...
"Alright, stop having illusions. Let's honestly kill King-level lords."
Elder Li patted his shoulder. "It's good for young people to have ideas, but we can't be too far-fetched."
Chen Shu quickly retorted, "No, I've killed the Bat Emperor, it wasn't this difficult."
"Can it be the same?"
Ning Bufan also chimed in.
"If I'm not mistaken, that Bat Emperor was on its last breath. Even if you hadn't intervened, it might not have survived. But this thing above still has half its life left!"
"..."
Seeing that both of them were quite apprehensive, Chen Shu could only give up reluctantly.
If he went alone, that would truly be the start of a feast...
"Then let's continue assassinating King-level lords."
The three disappeared from their spots and headed towards a distant location...
Chen Shu glanced up at the Violet Moon again, his eyes darting, seemingly not giving up.
...
As night fell,
The three arrived near a black mountain peak, covered in strangely shaped rocks and entirely shrouded in lightning. This was precisely the territory of the former Dark Thunder Emperor!
"There's the aura of a King-level lord..."
Ning Bufan's brow twitched as he spoke.
The three concealed their presence and cautiously ascended the mountain, eventually finding two higher-tier fiend species there.
This showed that the Dark Thunder Emperor's influence was quite formidable back then, but unfortunately, they had all been absorbed by the Dragon Lizards.
"Even the Violet Moon can't shine here?"
Chen Shu looked at the pitch-black mountain peak, further understanding the weakness of the Violet Moon Great Fiend.
Old Qiao's arrow was not easily endured!
He asked, "Shall we make a move to assassinate the lord now?"
"Eliminate them all."
Ning Bufan shook his head. "There are no Beast Emperors nearby now, so it's the perfect time to kill them all and prevent any fiends from passing on the news."
If they only killed the lords, the other fiends would immediately inform the Dragon Lizards, which would be troublesome.
If they annihilated them completely, even if other passing fiends noticed, it would take a considerable amount of time.
The three could complete their assassination missions within this period.
"Okay, then it's the usual routine."
Chen Shu clasped his hands in agreement. His killing intent was naturally strong, so he wouldn't refuse.
The two space-contracted spirits joined forces again, forcibly sealing off the entire mountain peak!
And in the eyes of the other fiends, the mountain peak showed no signs of abnormality, remaining exactly as it had been.
"Let's move!"
The three employed their usual tactic, summoning their respective contracted spirits.
After half a day,
Relying on Elder Li's formidable strength, they completely annihilated the two higher-tier fiend species on the mountain!
The spatial rabbit grinned and quickly collected all the fiend corpses on the ground.
Chen Shu, on the other hand, took out a bottle of potion and sprayed it around, making the smell of blood dissipate into thin air.
The man and his contracted spirit cooperated seamlessly, their movements fluid, clearly indicating they were seasoned offenders...
