Chapter 779: Pursuit

Chapter 779: Pursuit

The Strongest Punch left the streets a living purgatory of ruins and corpses. Facing the catastrophic destructive power, the surviving elite monsters didn’t back down. They continued to swarm to the building where Six Rime and the others were, climbing up toward the rooftop like zombies.

“Cut.”

“Cut.”

“Cut.”

Wearing a vicious-looking tengu mask, Heavenly Dog stood in the air and used Spatial Dissection indiscriminately at the surviving elite monsters in Aurora Town.

His attacks were messy and inaccurate, but that saved him effort and energy. Since there were still quite a lot of elite monsters and they moved in dense packs, he could always hit some targets with his careless attacks.

Ripples flashed through the air. When the monsters sensed the danger, it was already too late for most to get out of the way.

Sliced off arms, legs, and heads flew amid the snow, splattering blood everywhere and painting a macabre picture.

“Earth Bastion!”

Mischievous Monkey, Songstress, and One Stone had already reached the rooftop under siege with Heavenly Dog’s Fly.

Hands pressed to the ground, Mischievous Monkey lifted the concrete floor and bricks under his feet to create a sturdy bastion, shielding Six Rime and the others from the despairing danger.

One Stone provided the injured and exhausted teammates with first aid, administering them with the medicine she carried with her. A few seconds later, small holes appeared on the earth element bastion.

Songstress sang in an ethereal and gentle voice, the tune wandering out of the walls and echoing across the town.

Some elite monsters fainted immediately, and the ones with greater resistance slowed and became disoriented.

“Hahahaha!”

Zero Hatred from Team Yan Liang rode the wind and laughed hysterically, summoning a meteor shower of five elements without pulling back to bombard the spots where elite monsters were most numerous.

“Die! All of you, die!!”

Wild elemental power bloomed here and there. Broken body parts of the monsters scattered, accompanied by gutwrenching cries.

From afar, it was a captivating, beautiful scene, but looking closely, the picture was violent and vicious.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A giant Black Gold cross boomerang spun at high speed, cutting the arms of two devourers and a slaughterer’s head before turning and returning to Amon.

She was standing on the rooftop of a cabin. Shaking blood off the boomerang, she hurled it at the two slaughterers rushing her way.

Standing behind her was a chubby man, Old Seven. He rolled up his sleeves and fired rapid air bullets at the monsters from his carrot-like fingers, veins popping out of his forearms.

Then a cool wind suddenly entered her head.

After a pause, she shouted, “They must have headed to the train station!”

“You sure?” War Tiger asked.

“Where else could they go?”

War Tiger thought for a moment. And it made sense.

Aurora Town was too small for them to hide in. As long as the only official channel was blocked off, they could root out the pair of overtaker primes sooner or later by combing through the town.

Since the mission was a failure, Dust and Clear Mirror might as well retreat quickly and return to the main city of Snow Nation through the official channel. It would be too slow for them to walk. They had to get a ride at the train station.

“The station is quite far,” Yan Liang said. “We may not make it in time.”

That was true. Dust had Gravity and it allowed for quick travel. Most wouldn’t be able to catch up to them.

Azure Dragon might be able to were he not drained completely. Old Lion could travel quickly, but he had suffered quite a serious injury in the earlier fight. Even if he did catch up to Dust and Clear Mirror, he wouldn’t be their match. And Small Luo had gotten injured, too, with no way to make another Toy.

There was one person who was quick and strong and would make the perfect pursuer, though. As long as he kept Clear Mirror and Dust occupied, the others would be able to catch up later.

“Heavenly Dog!” War Tiger and Yan Liang reached the same conclusion.

“Oh.”

Heavenly Dog immediately took flight.

“Heavenly Dog! Take me and Zhong He, too!” Dead Pig called out.

Heavenly Dog paused. He didn’t understand the request. Zhong He was one thing. Dead Pig was quite heavy. His flying speed would be much lower if he carried the two of them.

“Trust us!” Zhong He shouted.

Heavenly Dog glanced at War Tiger. Getting the approval, he dropped two strands of white cloth from his sleeves without hesitation. Dead Pig and Zhong He each grabbed one and lifted off the ground.

“Faster, Heavenly Dog!”

Heavenly Dog was already flying at his maximum speed, but Dead Pig continued to urge him impatiently.

Zhong He teased, “Are you in any place to say that? Look at yourself. Why don’t I cut off your two legs for you, Old Pig? Then we’ll be going much faster.”

Dead Pig let out a nasal laugh. “Then you should try hard with your Phantom, or you’ll be cutting slower than my regeneration.”

“Ah.”

Heavenly Dog spoke up in a relaxed voice. “I think I see them.”
