Chapter 14: The Monster
To Lian Yun, some things in Yin Yang City might seem extremely difficult, but it was not entirely hopeless; there would always be a glimmer of hope. Therefore, the Year Beast BSS should also be killable.
"Hehe!" the Insect Emperor sneered, "Brat, your skills are decent, but there are still plenty of stronger beings from the era of kings. Yet, for many years, no one has been able to successfully kill this Year Beast."
"Do you think you have a chance?"
"Well, let me put it this way. I could at most take down half of its final layer. But that remaining half? Not even ten of me could handle it. So, do you think you can compare to ten of me?"
How could one compare? Lian Yun felt speechless, thinking that the Insect Emperor was being unreasonable. However, understanding this point left no room for doubt. Without further words, he turned back to hunt other Year Beasts.
The general felt the same way and had no intention of attacking the Year Beast BSS.
Currently, the defense of the Year Beast BSS had increased to two hundred fifty-six times its original strength. If they couldn't break through its defenses, their attack effectiveness would be reduced by over two hundred times.
Clearly, this was a thankless task.
It was evident that now Lian Yun was asking for help, and the Insect Emperor wouldn't take him as a disciple anymore. Thus, Lian Yun felt no burden. When it came to fighting, his movements became much smoother and more instinctive.
This prompted someone to spit in disdain.
After another six hours, the general's kill rate finally stabilized after soaring for a while. He could basically achieve instant kills against both ordinary and elite Year Beasts. With Yang Yanzhao by his side, his kill rate was nearly double that of Lian Yun's.
However, with Yang Zai Xing on Lian Yun's side, his kill rate did not fall behind too much. But personally speaking, the general's kill rate was still slightly faster than Lian Yun's.
The Insect Emperor was quite pleased with himself. Still, he couldn't help but scoff, "One round in ten minutes? Back in my day, I could do a round in five minutes."
The Insect Emperor merely wanted to mock Lian Yun but ended up mocking the general as well. This prompted the general to recklessly increase his pace once again.
Meanwhile, Lian Yun regarded this time as a standard.
The Insect Emperor was one of the rare Peerless Monarchs in the Twelve Cities, and despite being a solitary figure, he possessed wealth that could rival that of the Old Daoist and the Qin Emperor. It was clear that his strength was among the top few of the Peerless Monarchs.
If he could reach such a standard, it would be reasonable to assume he would rank quite high within the top ten.
Thus, when Lian Yun unleashed Wu Tai, it triggered the Thousand Soul Sword, sweeping across a vast area like a tornado.
This made the general stop in his tracks instantly.
On the other hand, the Insect Emperor began to curse angrily, "Brat, if you dare to provoke my precious disciple again, believe me, I will crush you."
However, the general replied, "Brother, Xiao Jun, your swordsmanship is exceptional. Don’t hold back too much. If you want to leave Yin Yang City soon, the reward for being first among kings will greatly benefit you."
If Lian Yun had refrained from using the Soul Sword out of consideration for the general's feelings before, now he felt that the general had enough resilience to handle it.
Nonetheless, Lian Yun was just beginning to experiment with it; there was still significant room for improvement in its power. However, he kept his desire for self-improvement to himself.
Since the general had reached this level, Lian Yun had no choice but to go all out.
With a serious expression and a nod, Lian Yun began to immerse himself fully in his understanding.
One thousand and ten Soul Swords swept across the entire plaza before slowly retracting into a hundred and ten swords. They were then divided into ten teams. Even if the leading Soul Sword couldn't deliver a fatal blow in one strike, two or three behind it could finish off any Year Beast. Even an Elite Year Beast would struggle against seven or eight strikes.
As such, wherever these ten teams of Soul Swords passed, all Year Beasts vanished.
Due to Sword Control, their speed was incredibly fast.
However, Lian Yun only occupied nine-tenths of the entire plaza filled with Year Beasts, leaving one-tenth for the general.
Yet surprisingly, the general's kill rate did not decrease; instead, it increased.
As she killed the tenth Year Beast in the area, a new batch appeared, meaning the number of Year Beasts she could attack remained unchanged, but the distance she needed to move was greatly reduced, thus improving her efficiency without her realizing it.
In less than a minute, she hunted down a batch.
This killing speed nearly terrified the Insect Emperor. He recalled that at his age of twenty-three or twenty-four, just before becoming emperor, he had never achieved such a pace.
And now, Lian Yun and the general were only in their early seventeens.
For a moment, he felt as if his own era of kingship had been wasted.
However, maintaining control over one hundred and ten Soul Swords consumed a lot of energy, so this state did not last long.
As Lian Yun continued to shrink her attack range, the general began to expand his territory.
When Lian Yun reduced her attack range to half of the square, the general, Yang Zai Xing, and Yang Yanzhao occupied the other half.
Thus, after Lian Yun slowed down her pace slightly to allow her Mental Power to recover and balance expenditure, her team finally reached optimal efficiency.
As Insect Emperor noted, they were now hunting a batch every five minutes.
For an ordinary person, maintaining such a pace would be considered extremely formidable.
However, neither Lian Yun nor the general was someone who would let things settle easily. As time passed, their attacking power grew stronger and stronger.
Moreover, while Yang Zai Xing taught the general and Yang Yanzhao spear techniques, he was also secretly learning from the general's Vibrational Force.
Initially, Yang Zai Xing did not grasp Vibrational Force as well as the general. However, since they both used spears, it was much easier for him to learn the general's techniques as he was already a master of spear fighting.
Meanwhile, Yang Yanzhao was not one to settle for mediocrity either. While learning from Yang Zai Xing, he also sought to understand Vibrational Force.
Thus, under these circumstances of mutual improvement, the four-person team led by Lian Yun exuded an aura of limitless potential.
As the seconds ticked away, the time to eliminate a batch of Year Beasts gradually decreased. By the twenty-third hour in the secret realm, it was possible to kill a batch in just four minutes.
However, after the twenty-third hour, the Year Beasts stopped respawning. The Year Beast BSS also suddenly became motionless.
There was a one-hour break.
This was likely to prevent anyone from pushing too hard and causing harm to their foundations.
After stopping, everyone gathered together. The Insect Emperor immediately glared at Lian Yun and said, "Who exactly are you? You can't be this extraordinary. Also, after watching for so long, with your own talents, your understanding of Vibrational Force must be profound. Why don't you show it?"
"There's no rush!"
"Damn."
"I am Lian Yun, greetings to the Insect Emperor."
"Lian Yun? The Lian Yun of Cloud Emperor? The Cloud Emperor's Lian Yun? Damn, damn, damn!" The Insect Emperor lifted Lian Yun up, looking at him with astonishment as if he had encountered some rare mythical beast.
