"Manniu, are you sure that the monster is as powerful as you said?" Zhang Chulan stopped and turned to look at the burly Manniu beside him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Manniu scratched his head, his expression firm: "Chu Lan, I saw it with my own eyes. The monster's skin is as hard as iron, and its strength is astonishing. It can break a tree with one punch!"
Zhang Chulan chuckled and shook his head: "I think you are exaggerating. There is no such exaggerated monster."
However, as they continued forward and finally reached a hidden cave, Zhang Chulan's doubts instantly turned to shock. He saw the monster with his own eyes—its skin was indeed as hard as iron, reflecting a dim light, and its eyes flickered with an eerie red light, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"This..." Zhang Chulan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He had never seen such a terrifying creature.
Seeing this, Manniu couldn't help but rush forward and punch the monster. However, the moment his fist touched the monster's skin, it seemed to be bounced off by an invisible force, and the whole person was knocked back and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"This...how is this possible!" Manniu's eyes were full of fear. He had never thought that he would be defeated so easily.
Zhang Chulan frowned, gaining a preliminary understanding of the monster's strength. He knew this mission was much more difficult than he had imagined.
"Everyone be careful, this monster is not simple." Zhang Chulan reminded everyone in a deep voice and prepared for battle.
At this moment, Zhuge Qing stepped forward. Holding a delicate fan, he gently waved it, sending a powerful force charging at the monster. However, the monster seemed unfazed, simply opening its maw and releasing a powerful devouring force, devouring Zhuge Qing's strength completely.
"This..." Zhuge Qing's face changed drastically. He had never seen such a strange attack method.
Everyone was horrified by the sight. They began to speculate about the monster's identity and origins, with varying opinions. Some believed it might be some unknown mutant creature, while others believed it might be the resurrection of an ancient demon.
"What on earth is this monster?" Xia Liuqing couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly.
Granny Jinfeng shook her head, her expression solemn. "I don't know either, but I can sense its immense power. I'm afraid we're no match for it."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye felt a surge of determination to resist defeat. He harnessed the power of Fenghou Qimen, quickly forming seals with his hands, and launched a powerful wind blade at the monster. However, the monster once again displayed its powerful devouring ability, swallowing Wang Ye's wind blade as well.
"This monster is too powerful. We are no match for it at all." Wang Ye took a few steps back, his face pale, and shook his head helplessly.
Xia Liuqing and Grandma Jinfeng were also filled with fear. They knew that this mission was beyond their capabilities. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and despair.
"Are we really going to give up?" Xia Liuqing asked unwillingly, with a glint of unwillingness in his eyes.
The Bull also lowered his head and said in a low voice: "We are indeed no match for it. If we continue like this, we will only die in vain."
However, at this moment, Li Qiankun suddenly spoke up: "I think we still have a chance." He pointed at the monster and said, "Look, although it is powerful, it is not invincible. I just noticed that its movements seem a little slow, which means it has weaknesses."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Li Qiankun. He continued, "We can exploit this weakness to deal with it. For example, we can use ground spikes to restrict its movement."
Everyone thought Li Qiankun's words made sense, so they all took action. They used the surrounding rocks and soil to create many sharp spikes. When the monster rushed towards them again, these spikes popped up like mushrooms after rain and pierced the monster's body.
The monster roared in pain, its movements indeed becoming much slower. Seeing this, Li Qiankun immediately increased his strength, driving more spikes into the monster's body. The monster's body was covered in wounds, blood splattered everywhere, but its eyes remained fierce, as if it was ready to fight to the death.
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan knew it was time to strike. He flashed behind the monster and launched a Yang Wu thunderbolt, striking the monster's vital points. However, just as the lightning was about to touch the monster's skin, a powerful devouring force surged out again, attempting to devour Zhang Chulan's lightning.
"Hmph!" Zhang Chulan snorted coldly, his Qi surging, and the lightning in his hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light. He swung it out with all his might; the thunder roared and rushed forward, finally piercing the monster's skin and piercing its body.
The monster let out a shrill roar and its body began to tremble violently.
The monster's massive body collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust. Everyone cheered, for they had finally defeated this powerful enemy.
However, the battle had barely ended, and before anyone could catch their breath, Granny Jinfeng suddenly displayed a painting. In it, a phoenix soared high, surrounded by hundreds of birds, so lifelike that one could almost hear their chirping. Following Granny Jinfeng's guidance, Wang Ye's gaze fell upon a spot in the painting, where he saw a Taoist priest seated on a rock, his demeanor reminiscent of an immortal, his face benevolent.
"This is..." Wang Ye's heart moved and he exclaimed, "This is Grandmaster Zhou Sheng!???"
Upon hearing this, everyone came closer to take a closer look. Sure enough, they saw that the Taoist in the painting was quite similar to the legendary Zhou Sheng. Zhang Chulan touched his chin and asked in confusion, "Strange, only Senior Zhou Sheng has a portrait in this painting, while the others are all landscapes. Why is that?"
At this moment, Sister Baoer suddenly said, "I think... I've seen this person recently." Everyone was shocked by this statement. Li Qiankun was so excited that he grabbed Sister Baoer's shoulders and asked, "Sister Baoer, are you sure? Senior Zhou Sheng is still alive?"
Sister Baoer scratched her head and said uncertainly, "I'm not too sure, but it feels a little familiar..."
Everyone was buzzing with discussion. If Senior Zhou Sheng was truly still alive, how could all this be explained? Was he involved in the leaked list? Why was he in this painting?
Wang Ye took a deep breath and said slowly, "Senior Zhou Sheng was one of the Grand Masters of Wudang Mountain, and his cultivation was unfathomable. After he left Wudang Mountain, his whereabouts were unknown. If what Sister Baoer said is true, then he may still be alive."
Hearing this, everyone became even more curious. Zhang Chulan asked, "Why is Senior Zhou Sheng hiding here? What secrets are there?"
Wang Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know that either. However, we can speculate where he might be hiding based on Baoer's memories and this painting."
