134 Chapter 133: Duan Li going solo-lo-lo~ 2 (2/2)
”Silence!” the three squad leaders bellowed out.
”Silver armor? Was it Official Knights from the Empire?” Zhuge Liang asked.
”N-no! That doesn't seem to be the case.. those armors of his were indeed silver.. but it was not the standard ones that the Official Knights from the Empire were using, these were custom-made!” the patrolman answered.
”Furthermore, we couldn't identify who that person was because he was wearing a helmet as well.. but the monsters were annihilated left and right! He was just too powerful.. possibly a Pinnacle stage Nascent soul realm cultivator!” he added as his voice showed a hint of reverence to it.
”Did you record it using a recording jade slip?” Xu Liyu asked.
The patrolman shook his head as he replied, ”Unfortunately.. we were too dazed by the whole scene that we couldn't even move.. until the last moment that we had to retreat..”
”You had to retreat at the last moment, did that person got defeated by the monsters?” Zhuge Liang frowned.
”What? No! We had to run away because the entire battlefield was being wrecked by that person to the extent that the ground shook like an earthquake and all the debris were being flung away into the air!” the patrolman explained.
Hearing this, all three squad leaders nodded to each other.
”We three shall scout that place, and identify the unknown man if he was still there. As for the rest of you, put everyone here on standby in case anything happen! You are to move at a moment's notice!” they instructed the others strictly.
Without wasting any more time, the three of them bolted off into the distance guided by the patrolman.
...
Back in the battlefield, Duan Li's Great Axe had already dissipated some time ago as he could no longer supply the colossal spiritual Qi demand and had to focus his all into his fist art.
But even then, his spiritual Qi reserves were now extremely low. This was due to the overusage of his meridians from the continuous rapid cycling of Qi around all of his three dantians, his rate of spiritual Qi absorption had significantly plummeted to more than 80 percent of its original efficiency!
This unexpected state he was in had his battle prowess decreased significantly.
Thus, Duan Li could no longer perform the Major mastery form of the Nine Fist Shattering Meteor skill art. Instead, he had to notch it down to its Minor mastery form!
BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!!
However, the damage he could inflict was reduced as well and the monsters noticed this. Thus, they slowly began to counter-attack more and more!
”Young Master, we would not be able to hold them off for much longer! We need to retreat soon!” the sword called out to Duan Li in a panic.
Hearing this, Duan Li gritted his teeth as he summoned Daelius the wolf cub.
”Arrff! Arrff!!” the cub materialized on top of his helmet, clutching tightly so that it won't fall off to the ground.
”Daelius, go fetch the monster cores down below! Take as many as you can and stuff them into this spatial ring!” Duan Li instructed.
He gave the cub a spare spatial ring hefound among the treasures he retrieved back then.
”Arrff! Arrff!!” the cub nodded and whipped its tail energetically left and right, bit the spatial ring in between its teeth and bolted off.
Psheww!!
Eventhough Daelius was still a wolf cub, the blood of the Fenrir's species still runs through its veins. Therefore, its speed of movement was nothing short of lightning fast!
Tap! Tap!
Monster cores that were tapped by its squishy paw was immediately stored into the spatial ring.
”Good.. now I need to finish up quickly, there are still some of these monsters left from both of the groups.. damn it..”
BANG!
The third Guardian Knight puppet got blown off into the distance as it was hit by a sudden tail strike from the center of the enemy main force.
When the sword saw this, it immediately scanned its surrounding to identify this new threat.
Damn it!
”Young Master! It seems that the Alpha monster from the stampede has begun to make its move!” the sword shouted out as it fended off the barrage of claw attacks from the monsters in front of it.
”What? An Alpha? We need to retreat now!”
An Alpha, although rare in making its appearance during a monster stampede, was several times more powerful than the rest. Usually, they are one or two Star higher than the monsters themselves!
They were mutated species and possesses a certain degree of high-level intelligence that made them extremely deadly!
Many have speculated that monster stampede was actually organized and commanded by these Alphas, although such claim was rejected by the Empire.
With a flip of his hand, Duan Li's signal had all three Guardian Knight puppets to quickly rally together with him as the center.
”Arrff!! Arrff!!”
Daelius also came back to Duan Li but showed a sad expression as it was only able to fetch about 30 percent of the monster cores.
Burning his spiritual Qi in a unique way, Duan Li could slowly feel that his body grew more lighter. This was the result of using the Secret art that the Vice-Principal had imparted to him before..
Sparrow Footwork Formula!
This should be able to increase his speed by a good 50 percent!
Stowing all three of the Guardian Knight puppets along with the javelins inside his spatial ring, Duan Li executed his most profound movement skill art;
One Step To Reach!
Pshew!!
Duan Li's figure immediately disappeared from the spot he was in.
Seeing that the enemy that had most of their fellow brothers annihilated, trampled and plastered viciously to the ground was now gone without a trace, the monsters bellowed out to the sky in rage!
ROAAARRRR!!
