148 Zhu Nian Has Gone Insane (1/2)
The transcendent monsters had usually experienced once mutation and after a brain transformation, their intelligence was beyond human intelligence.
Of course, there were some exceptions. Very few of the transcendent monsters had never experienced mutation and these monsters would normally possess incredible combat abilities.
There were also some of them that had gone through two or even three mutations. These monsters were even scarier. Aside from having abilities that were on par with human geniuses, they could also evolve to possess a higher degree of intelligence.
During the fight, Zhu Nian could confirm that the Ghastly Clown was a monster that had gone through at least two mutations. In the beginning, it already had full control over the battle, causing everyone to follow it.
Zhu Nian was facing an undesirable situation. Not only that it one versus three, the opponent had Liang Song as a hostage.
”Tell me what your rules are.” Zhu Nian observed the situation and calmed himself down. He knew he was at the losing end and had to find a way to be at an advantage.
”Hehehehe… A holy fire-level, it is difficult to find food tastier than you. I'll give you a chance. If you can win both of the transcendent monsters, I'll give you an opportunity to fight me in person but if you lose to them, not only will I kill both your teammates but everyone in this C-grade foothold as well.” The voice of the Ghastly Clown filled the air. Everyone could clearly hear it including all of the residents of the foothold.
Many of them stole glances at Zhu Nian. They prayed that he could reverse the situation.
Zhu Nian looked serious and nodded his head, ”Okay, I accept.”
”Hehehehe… Very good! Let the game begins!” The Ghastly Clown announced happily in the mid-air.
At almost the same time as he finished his words, the Lava Giant and Four-Winged Swordfiend ran towards Zhu Nian.
The speed of the Four-Winged Swordfiend was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Zhu Nian.
Six forelimbs were coming towards Zhu Nian at a terrifying speed and they were in the form of sharp blades. It resembled six swordmasters attacking him with a sword relic. Six beams of black light appeared and moved extremely fast causing the air to crackle and crack.
Zhu Nian remained calm. He then lifted his hand with as little movement as he could and the gold spear in his hand had transformed into a thunderbolt that fought against the beams of light.
Only the sound of colliding metal could be heard.
”Go away!”
With a loud growl, the gold thunderbolt suddenly transformed into a shadow of a whip-like weapon, hitting the stomach and waist of the Four-Winged Swordfiend. Its body was blown away as the attacks struck and cracks appeared all over its hard armor.
The next moment, the Lava Giant was about to strike a heavy blow to Zhu Nian's body from the left. The blow was accompanied by an immense power and a terribly high temperature.
Zhu Nian who was hanging in mid-air immediately reclaimed his spear. He had no means of retreating and he had to defend against the heavy blow.
The spear had transformed into a golden lightning dragon that slammed into the Lava Giant.
”Bang!”
A loud thud was heard which sounded very much like an explosion. The ground began to vigorously shake.
Zhu Nian looked smaller in size compared to the Lava Giant; he was like an ant. However, his ant-like body remained stationary. He was firmly rooted in mid-air, at the position where he was standing.
After a short while, something shocking happened.
