Chapter 51 - Achieving First Place

"Here it comes, Daoist Yuan!" Luo Ling quickly said to him.

Yuan nodded and raised his sword as the Mountain Lord lifted its massive claws and swung at them.

Boom!

Yuan felt as though a large boulder was trying to crush him when he blocked the Mountain Lord's strike.

"I will back you up!" Luo Ling used this chance to thrust her sword at the Mountain Lord's face, but alas, with a single roar from the Mountain Lord, Luo Ling was sent flying away from the tremendous air pressure.

"Luo Ling! Are you okay?!" Yuan asked her whilst he pushed the Mountain Lord's claw to the side.

"I-I am not hurt…" she quickly responded.

"Get lost, you human ant! You don't have the qualifications to meddle in our battle!" The Mountain Lord roared at her.

"I understand that you are angry because of what happened to your child, but do you really have to kill so many innocent people and destroy an entire city for revenge?!" Yuan suddenly said.

"Don't try to persuade me, brat! I will kill everyone in this city even if it's the last thing I do and there's nothing you can do to stop it!"

The Mountain Lord roared again, and its aura began growing more powerful and tyrannical.

"If that's the case, then watch me stop you!" Yuan's eyes flickered with a bright light and his sword began trembling, almost as though it was filled with excitement.

"Bloody Sword Strike!"

A red light flashed before the Mountain Lord's eyes and before it could even react, Yuan's sword was already directly in front of its eyes.

"?!"

The Mountain Lord quickly closed its eyelids to protect its eyes with its steel-like skin, but alas, Yuan's sword was much sharper than it'd anticipated and pierced right through its tough skin.

"Aaaaaaagh!!!"

The Mountain Lord screamed in pain as blood squirted from its eyes.

"Che! I couldn't reach the brain and kill it in one shot." Yuan sucked his teeth after pulling his sword out of the Mountain Lord's face with effort.

"I will kill you! I will f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill you!"

The Mountain Lord roared before rushing at Yuan with its claws swinging recklessly.

Seeing this, Yuan immediately focused on dodging its strikes, feeling the tremendous pressure from each strike as it brushed by his face. If the Mountain Lord successfully hit him even once, he will most likely turn into meat paste and die.

After dodging a dozen strikes, Yuan finally saw an opportunity to strike back and quickly stabbed his sword at the Mountain Lord's uninjured eye.

"AAAAAAGH! HOW DARE YOU?!"

Without its sights, the Mountain Lord was severely crippled in its movements and ability to defend itself from Yuan's incoming attacks.

"It sucks without the ability to see, right? I know that feeling very well! And I am giving you one last chance to leave before I really kill you!" Yuan said, feeling that it was only right to show mercy to the Mountain Lord who had lost its child to a human even though it was a monster, not to mention that it was once peaceful with humans.

"Even if I leave today, my hatred for humans and for this place will never subdue! Unless you kill me today, I will definitely return for revenge!"

"Then you leave me with no other choice!" Yuan narrowed his eyes with a resolute feeling, and he tightened his grasp on the sword.

"Bloody Sword Strike!"

Yuan rushed at the Mountain Lord before thrusting his sword forward, and because the Mountain Lord could not see, it was unable to react, allowing Yuan to pierce its neck with ease.
