Chapter 87 – Stone Giant Knocked Down

(Mustang: Hey guys, first one for this week.)

“All Sects, quickly send out your fighters again, we are sure to kill him this time around.” Yuan Feng said in a loud voice.

Lone Leaf was absolutely right; the Jiu Yu Da Sect wasn’t going to give up so easily.

Killing the Stone Giant was surely going to be very rewarding financially, so naturally, no one wanted to back off at this stage.

Though the smaller Sects and Schools, were bit hesitant now, as they anyway didn’t have many numbers in their individual ranks to begin with. On top of that, the stone giant had already massacred a lot of men, owing to which, some Schools were practically on the verge of breaking down after suffering extremely heavy losses.

Yuan Feng urged them: “Think clearly, if you do not participate, then you will not get anything from the final bounty.”

Ultimately, all the teams that were present on the scene started dispatching more units. Anyway, they had already come this far, it would be shameful to return from here empty handed, at this point.

They had reached a very crucial point in the battle, another successful round, and they may be able to topple the Stone Giant over.

If they didn’t send more men, and the Stone Giant died anyway, then they would not get anything from its carcass, which at this point, would be considered a very heavy loss.

Soon enough, these Sects managed to put together a team of at least a hundred, or maybe even more, as they prepared to launch another attack.

The Stone Giant’s recent move had scared everyone; even Yuan Feng was no exception.

“Again!” Yuan Feng hesitated for a moment, inwardly, but did not let it reflect in his command, which was as decisive as ever.

Yuan Feng, Zi Yan, and the other leaders of the Jiu Yu Da Sect took the lead again, as they knew that the others were too cowardly to take the initiative.

They were all considered leading figures of their generation, even inside the Jiu Yu Da Sect; so naturally, they had several tricks up their sleeves, which is why they weren’t afraid to take the lead.

Soon enough, Yuan Feng and the others closed the Stone Giant, and started engaging, the enraged, Stone Giant, once gain in a very fierce and violent battle.

Yuan Feng and the other leaders of the Jiu Yu Da Sect were using their footwork brilliantly, and were constantly retreating and advancing in such a manner, that the Stone Giant simply couldn’t keep up with them.

They were attacking with all their might, and were able to hold the Stone Giant long enough for the others to surround him.

“Attack!” Yuan Feng gave the order.

Everyone closed in quickly, and unleashed their strongest attacks, aligning them beautifully to the Giant’s joints.

“Zhum…..”

The Stone Giant was far too slow to be able to dodge such a huge volume of simultaneous attacks.

Fortunately for him, his defense was abnormally tough; tough enough to take hundreds of strong hits, and not fall; although his body shook under their effects for several seconds.

The Stone Giant opened its mouth, and prepared to roar again. The humans that were attacking it started to scuttle for their lives once again.

Yuan Feng and the other leaders were extremely furious, but were forced to retreat all the same.

If things continued in this fashion, then it was difficult to predict how long it would be before they finally managed to kill the Giant off, and at what cost.

The Stone Giant, once again, didn’t chase after anybody, and used the time to gather more stones by his side.

The Stone Giant was extremely smart, and was well aware of the fact, that at his speed, he won’t be able to chase after the slippery humans, which is why he was using this spare time to gather strategic materials for the next rounds, in order to kill more of his enemies.

Yuan Feng was astounded by the Stone Giant’s intellect; but it was beginning to turn into a real headache for him now.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we need to act quickly, otherwise the Stone Giant will start recovering and will become even harder to stop. The Stone Giant, obviously, cannot roar infinite times; otherwise he would have been doing that since the very beginning. So feel assured that you are safe, we will take the lead, and you just follow us, and keep attacking him. Soon we will be able to topple him over.” Yuan Feng reassured everyone.

Yuan Feng’s words made perfect sense, but the majority of the crowd was still afraid for their lives. After all said and done, no one willing to risk being smashed into mincemeat by a Stone Giant.

“There’s no guarantee that he can’t roar like that again; we can’t take that risk again.” One man from within the crowd spoke up.

Yuan Feng was going wild with anger, but he didn’t let it reflect on to his face, and simply creased his face with an indemnified smile.

Being a commander wasn’t an easy job. One needed to keep his subordinates happy.

Although Yuan Feng was in charge at this moment, he wouldn’t be able to maintain his position for long if the crowd stopped listening to his orders. He didn’t want to give them any reason to doubt his leadership, as he was afraid that once the crowd started to question his ability, he wouldn’t be able to stop them from leaving. Plus there was always an added threat of a public outrage being provoked against him.
