After that accident, Gu Tan and Gu Chen were sent to their hotel for the rest while Pu Zhen was also sent to his home for recovery. They had to take rest for the entire day
Meanwhile, on the next day in Xuan Village….
"Flame Tower!"
Zhu Ping rushed towards the wolf that was pouncing towards him and slides on his knees. As soon as he reached below the wolf, his internal energy burst out in the form of flames and spiraled around his body, forming a giant tower of flame that burned the wolf.
"Ahhhhh!"
As soon as he killed the wolf, his ear picked up a scream. His head turned to the right and saw a rhino rushing towards the child. He pulled his right leg and stomped on the ground.
"Storm Step!"
Whoosh!
"Fire Claw Strike!"
The flames burst out of his hand and formed a thick cover around his finger. The cover itself took the shape of a claw as he stretched out of his hand and slammed the claw on the body of the running rhino.
Crack! Thud! Tap! Tap!
But as soon as he collided with the rhino, his fire claw broke and his body rebounded to the ground. But, his attack managed to shake the rhino and pushed him few steps away. Unfortunately, this got the rhino's attention.
Tap! Tap!
The next moment, the rhino dashed towards Zhu Ping instead of targeting the child. Seeing this, Zhu Ping gritted his teeth and put his forearms in front of him. He also gathered internal energy at his forearm to bear the impact of the collision.
Thud!
But, just before it could hit Zhu Ping, a figure landed between them and puts his palm on the horn of the rhino.
"Phew! Thank god, you came in time. I leave it to you." Zhu Ping sighed with relief when he saw Ming Shen standing in front of him and standing up. He turned around and left the scene.
'I don't have much internal energy. The first stage of Dragon and Tiger Realm only gave him a little internal energy. I need to preserve it in the worst-case scenario. I hope Zhao Xin has found why those monsters suddenly started rampaging at our village.'
'And, Gu Tan isn't here as well. We need to protect the village while he is away.'
Meanwhile, Ming Shen blocked the steps of the rhino even though it was pushing him with full force. On his back, there was a bow and a quiver with lots of arrows in it.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Ming Shen screamed as he started putting more power into his hand and pushing the rhino away. He stomped his foot on the ground and held the horn of the rhino with all of his strength and swing it. At first, he barely lifted the rhino but before it could make a complete rotation, he had already lifted it above the ground.
Thud!
"Huff! Huff! That was hard…. I hope Zhao Xin has managed to find the cause." Ming Shen wiped away his sweat while panting hard.
On another side,
"Damn, these monsters!"
"Bone Freezing Palm"
Zhao Yin thrusts her hand and opens her palm. The white gas leaks out of her palm as her internal energy condensed on it. Her palm lands on the back of a lion and suddenly covers its entire body with ice.
"Roar!"
"Ahhhhh!"
Suddenly, a monkey slaps her cheek and the impact forces her to the ground. Blood leaks out of her mouth as she screams. The monkey rushes towards her but suddenly, a fire claw slaps down from the sky.
Bang!
"Fire Claw Strike!"
Zhu Ping's claw smashes the monkey to the ground, burning its skin. The monkey rolls around in pain while Zhu Ping kicks its body away. Then, he turns at Zhao Yin and shouts "What the hell are you doing here? Stay together with guards. You can't get hurt right now."
"Humph! You don't have the right to make me do anything. I will do as I please." Zhao Yin turns her head away and pouts while standing.
"Damn it! I don't care about you. But if you get hurt, Xin will also get hurt. So, stop making things difficult for us." Zhu Ping's face clenched as he felt angrier. He didn't hesitate to shout at her but she completely ignored him.
Thud! Thud!
"What is going on? Why is the ground shaking?" Zhu Ping asked while balancing himself.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Suddenly, both of them heard a scream from the side and instantly turned around. A few meters away from them, there were a few children in front of a giant bear. The bear was almost over three meters tall and had a massive body.
"Oh no!" Zhao Yin instantly snapped her foot, following the internal energy into her footsteps. She instantly reached in front of the giant bear but suddenly, Zhu Ping caught her hand and pulled her away.
"Stupid! You can't get injured now."
Bang!
The bear slammed its paw towards the children as Zhu Ping reached in front of them and puts both of his hands in front of him. The paw collided against his forearm and smashed him to the ground. His body created a big hole as the impact almost broke his back.
As for his arms, they were also cracked. His ten year old body wasn't enough to block such strike even as a martial artist.
"Zhu Ping!" Zhao Yin shouted as she rushed towards him but the bear instantly caught her position and slammed his paw towards her.
Bang! Thud!
"Ugh!" Zhao Yin used her movement technique to dodge the attack but she lost her balance and fell to the ground on her back.
'Middle-Rank Monster? Why is there a middle-rank monster?' Zhao Yin's mind was fully messed up at this moment. Even those Low-Rank Monsters can take on the third stage Tiger and Dragon Realm Cultivator. And, she was only the first stage cultivator.
She knew she stood no chance against this monster. But, the bear didn't care about her thoughts. It simply raised its paw and slammed towards her once again. But, suddenly, a circle of flame appeared beneath it and the next moment, the entire bear got caught inside the flame.
"Flame Tower"
"Huff!" "Huff!"
When Zhao Yin turned her head, she saw Zhu Ping barely standing on his foot. He was heavily panting while his small body was covered with sweat and blood.
Whoosh!
The bear inside the flame tower opened its paw and swings its arm. A single swing tore the flame tower in half as the bear spotted Zhu Ping. Its attention instantly shifted towards him as he rushed forward and slammed his paw.
Thud! Bang!
The paw moved so fast that Zhu Ping didn't even get a chance to dodge. His body was already tired and the speed of the paw made it even worse. But, suddenly a figure landed in front of him and swung a spear. The tip of the spear collided against the bear's paw and pushed it away.
"Captain Lee!" Zhu Ping's eyes when he saw the man standing in front of him. He quickly sighed a breath of relief. With Captain Lee, he knew this wouldn't be too hard.
"Boy, this is not the time to relax. There are more dashing towards us." Captain Lee spoke as he gripped his spear and dashed forward.
Roar!
The bear trembled its body as it roared and raised its paw. When Captain Lee reached near him, the bear slammed the paw downward with an immense force and Captain Lee stopped his body. He stopped just a few inches away from the paw but instantly thrusts his spear forward.
Bang!
The tip of the spear collided against the paw of the bear but it didn't manage to break in. The Middle-Rank Monster can be harder to defeat especially a defense type like a bear. When the spear didn't pierce the paw, a blue light gleamed in Captain Lee's eyes.
"Fire Dragon Art"
"Piercing Cloud!"
Splash!
The internal energy was fierce like a fire as it bursts out of his dantian and moved to his body. It enters his spear and sharpens the tip like a claw of a dragon. With the tip sharp as a claw, he easily pierces the paw of the bear.
Roar! Roar!
His attack makes the bear scream in agony but Lee Jan doesn't give him time to move. His right-hand pulls out the spear and he instantly moves forward slamming his knee to the face of that bear. The power of that strike breaks its balance but it still keeps tumbling on the ground.
Lee Jan crouches down as soon as his foot returns to the ground and swings his leg, lifting himself on his arm. His kick slams the leg of the bear and it finally falls to the ground.
"Die, you monster!" Lee Jan screams as he jumps on the air and slams his spear towards the chest of the bear. But, suddenly a figure pounces on the air and slams its claw at his back, making Lee Jan slammed to the ground.
Thud!
Roar! Roar!
Upon colliding to the ground, Lee Jan hurriedly raises his head and gets stunned. Next to the bear, there were two monsters standing. One was a tiger and another was an alligator. This was stunning because these monsters were protecting the bear.
