The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 263 Acting on Heaven's Behalf

Watching his comrades instantly reduced by three-quarters, all the mercenaries were dumbfounded, a sense of despair growing and spreading in each of their hearts.

"Damn it, let me do it!"

The mercenary captain, still unwilling to believe his eyes, snatched the rocket launcher.

He took one last drag of his cigar, then aimed the rocket launcher, fired… and fired again!

Two consecutive shots, aimed at Zhu Jiuyin's eyes, were launched.

Boom, boom, boom—

The shells hit Zhu Jiuyin's eyes, exploding in a huge burst of sparks, followed by a mushroom cloud rising into the air!

"Hiss, roar—"

Zhu Jiuyin, for the first time, let out a painful wail!

An expression of excitement appeared on the mercenary captain's face. He had guessed correctly; those scarlet eyes were the key to this behemoth!

"Listen to me, everyone, fire at the monster's eyes together!"

The captain shouted. He wanted to turn the tables and win a beautiful victory!

Everyone listened to him and immediately poured all their remaining firepower towards the giant monster's eyes.

Bang, bang, bang—

Rumble—

After a series of deafening sounds, the scarlet light still shone from the behemoth's eyes. The firepower that had just hit its eyes, apart from causing it some pain, posed no fatal threat to it!

"Hiss, roar—"

With a strange cry, it suddenly lowered its snake head, and in a flash of lightning, snatched up the captain.

In the terrified gazes of the crowd, the captain was thrown high into the sky, free-falling… and finally, landing steadily in the behemoth's mouth.

Crunch!

Crunch!

Crunch!

This time, the behemoth did not swallow the captain directly, but chewed his body severely several times in its mouth, and finally spat it out…

Watching the captain, now a pile of unidentifiable matter, being spat on the ground, the remaining men completely collapsed.

This monster was not only thick-skinned, tough, and ferocious, but also damnably vengeful!

In an instant, the group of mercenaries could no longer hold on, abandoning their armor and weapons, and instinctively scattering in all directions.

Coincidentally, the filth that Zhu Jiuyin had just spat out landed directly on Zheng Aoqiu.

Zheng Aoqiu was instantly awakened, cursing incessantly after waking up: "Damn it, who's disturbing my sleep? Don't they want to live?"

Clearly, he had not fully recognized the situation.

After he sobered up a little, he felt sticky and smelly all over. Looking down, he saw an eyeball, detached from its socket, staring at him!

He screamed in fright, and when he looked up, he saw the towering behemoth…

A person cannot withstand successive shocks, especially the terrifying shock of Zhu Jiuyin!

This time, when Zheng Aoqiu fainted, he never woke up again…

But at this time, the surroundings were in chaos. One person's death had become insignificant, even if he was the son of the richest man in Jiaonan City, his life was as worthless as grass!

At this moment, He Xinyi's eyes were dull, her gaze long devoid of focus.

As a young woman who had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, her life for the past twenty years had been comfortable and affluent. How could she have ever imagined that one day she would have to experience such a thing?

She vowed that if she had the chance to choose again, she would never set foot on Binghuo Island.

But now, so many people had died because of her. Did she still have the right to regret it? Let alone the chance to choose again.

"Miss He, what are you still standing there for? Run!"

Just as He Xinyi was lost in thought, Master Lin's shout brought her back to her senses.

"Miss He, don't stand there, run quickly! You'll be safe once you get to the shore and board the ship. You must live!"

Master Lin grabbed her shoulders and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, He Xinyi immediately felt something was wrong: "Then Master Lin, what about you…"

"Me? Don't worry about me!"

After saying that, Master Lin turned and left, without looking back.

"Miss He, don't hesitate, run quickly! I will buy you some time!"

"Master Lin, don't!"

He Xinyi shouted.

"I said, I will protect you with my old life!"

Master Lin rushed towards Zhu Jiuyin without hesitation.

"Beast, today I will act on behalf of heaven!"

Master Lin roared!

"Exterminate demons and uphold justice!"

This was what his master had taught him since he was a child. Had he done it all these years?

Perhaps not. The life of drunken extravagance and rampant materialism had long corrupted his original intention.

But in the last moment of his life, he suddenly remembered the promise he had made to his master when he was a child!

Master Lin suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, spewing out a mouthful of essence blood, then pinched his fingers to form a magic seal, and launched a pale white light!

The white light was like a fluffy dandelion, hitting Zhu Jiuyin's body. The white light instantly spread, freezing the surrounding scales and flesh.

A moment later, the frozen area, along with the scales and flesh, fell off.

"Hiss, roar——————"

Zhu Jiuyin let out an unprecedented scream.

The survivors couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. This was the first time since the monster had appeared that it had suffered a substantial injury.

He Xinyi's spirit suddenly lifted: "As expected of Master Lin! It seems that this monster is not completely impossible to kill!"

"Come on, Master Lin, kill this monster, and I'll give you anything you want!"

He Xinyi shouted loudly.

Master Lin was stunned. He was buying her time with his life, but instead of running, she was cheering him on.

Immediately, a wry smile appeared on Master Lin's face.

It seemed that fate was like this. I have tried my best!

Master Lin had indeed tried his best. The cold air he had spewed out with his essence blood had only frozen a few meters of flesh and blood on Zhu Jiuyin's body.

Zhu Jiuyin was thousands of meters long. Even if Master Lin vomited blood until he died, it wouldn't be enough to freeze off a third of its body.

Master Lin had already resigned himself to death, but now that so many people were cheering him on, it aroused the heroism in his chest.

He once again increased his power, and another white light shot towards Zhu Jiuyin.

However, Zhu Jiuyin had clearly been caught off guard last time.

This time, it opened its mouth wide and spewed out a stream of purplish-black flames, instantly devouring and dissolving the white light…

And the purplish-black flames, after dissolving the white light, continued unabated and struck Master Lin's body.

Boom—

After a flash of fire, Master Lin turned into a pile of ashes.

He Xinyi stood there dumbly, the hope that had been ignited was now completely extinguished…
