With a splash, Ao Yuan ferried Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi to the Heavenly Pool.
Instantly!
"Aow—"
Ao Yuan roared to the sky, and a gust of fierce wind suddenly rose.
In an instant, it swept Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi into the air.
Finally, the two landed amidst a patch of clouds.
"Aow!"
As Ao Yuan roared again, the cloud layer transformed into a beam of light and shot towards the distance.
Ao Yuan watched intently, and only after the figures of Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi had completely disappeared from sight did he turn back to continue watching the livestream below the Heavenly Pool.
Actually, Ao Yuan had intended to go himself, but after hearing that Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi were going.
Ao Yuan changed his mind.
In the era of spiritual energy resurgence, if he were to establish a force, relying on himself alone would not be enough.
Given his current strength and talent, using his abilities of fierce wind and moving clouds could get Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi to Shen Province in less than two minutes. This monster was not strong, making it a perfect opponent for Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi to practice their skills.
Of course, there was another point.
That was, the people of Great Xia knew that Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi were his people. If they were to defeat this monster, would he gain faith points?
Ao Yuan was also quite curious about this.
"Hoo—"
And at this moment.
On the livestream.
The Great Xia army had arrived.
"This is the Great Xia army."
"You are surrounded, surrender is your only option!"
Amidst the terrified gazes of numerous citizens, army-green trucks drove in from afar.
Hundreds of fully armed soldiers disembarked, forming two columns.
One column cleared the crowd, while the other held their weapons and shouted loudly.
The monster heard the voices, and its head turned slightly, looking at the rows of soldiers that had appeared before it.
It hovered in mid-air, its fanged mouth curved slightly to the sides, revealing an extremely ugly smile.
Then.
As if unconcerned, it prepared to attack another child.
"Open fire!"
Rat-a-tat!
The sharp crack of gunfire suddenly resounded, spitting flames.
Countless bullets rained down on the monster's body.
Rat-a-tat!
As before, the bullets hitting its body left only shallow marks, causing no other injuries.
The soldiers' expressions remained unchanged. They had already known from the livestream that ordinary bullets were useless against the monster.
But the problem was that the monster was currently inside an elementary school, filled with children.
How could they use weapons with extreme lethality?
With so many people firing bullets simultaneously, all they were doing was to attract the monster's attention.
"Meee!"
The monster, which was about to act, seemed to have been provoked.
Its blood-red eyes suddenly shifted, and it let out a earth-shattering roar.
A fierce aura surged from its body.
Following that.
"Meee!"
The monster let out a roar, flapped its black wings, and instantly charged towards the soldiers.
"Hoo—"
Seeing this, all the soldiers felt a slight surge of joy in their hearts.
It had been attracted.
"Run, scatter and run!"
A captain gave the order, and the other soldiers immediately acted, fleeing in all directions.
But compared to the monster, their speed was far too slow.
In the blink of an eye, some soldiers were caught up by the monster.
Some of them were resisting, as they had also begun cultivating at the first sign of spiritual energy resurgence.
However, their cultivation realms were far from catching up to this monster.
Most of them were only at the Body Tempering stage.
How could they, who could not even withstand bullets, be a match for this monster?
Most of them could not even last a single round before their bodies were pierced by the monster's claws.
In a fleeting moment, several soldiers' bodies were impaled, blood flowing freely.
But they did not cry out in pain, instead, enduring the intense pain from their bodies.
With all their might, using every part of their bodies that could be used, they tightly entangled the monster.
Though their strength was no match for the monster, their resolve was tens of times stronger than their strength!
"Meee!"
The actions of these soldiers undoubtedly enraged the monster further.
A look of fury flickered in its blood-red eyes, and it launched a brutal attack on the soldiers' bodies as if it had gone mad.
In an instant, the livestream was stained with blood.
Not far away, a soldier who was clearing the crowd saw this.
His body froze, and his fists clenched.
His pupils turned blood-red, and he truly wanted to rush forward to avenge his comrades.
But his last shred of reason constantly reminded him.
He still had a more important mission to complete, and he could not let his comrades' lives be sacrificed in vain.
They were soldiers of Great Xia, and their primary mission was to protect the citizens of Great Xia.
Even if it meant losing their lives!
They would not hesitate!
"Quick, hurry and leave the scene."
"We'll hold it off here!"
"Don't crowd, leave in an orderly fashion!"
In the end, this soldier could only channel his grief into a roar, loudly urging the surrounding civilians.
On the other side.
Following the captain's command, the soldiers who were distracting the monster boarded trucks and drove away from the crowd.
Simultaneously, the soldiers inside the trucks continued to fire their weapons to attract the monster's attention.
"Meee!"
Their actions, in the monster's eyes, only further enraged it.
The monster flapped its huge black wings and relentlessly pursued them.
The speed of the trucks was indeed fast, but compared to the monster, they were still somewhat inferior.
After about a few seconds, the monster suddenly caught up to a truck.
Smack!
It landed on the truck with a loud thud.
Then.
The monster's silhouette was reflected on the large windshield in front.
"Mon—"
Hiss!
Before most of the soldiers could utter a complete word.
The monster's claws pierced through the vehicle's metal body.
Even as this happened, the gunfire did not stop.
It continued to fire madly.
On the livestream.
The netizens watching the scene through the broadcast were silent.
For the first time, they felt the insignificance of life.
For the first time, they felt their own powerlessness.
Their hearts were filled with suppressed rage, but they had nowhere to vent it.
Looking at the scene before them, most netizens could not help but shed tears.
These Great Xia... soldiers...
Whirr!
Just then, the sound of helicopter rotors suddenly filled the sky.
"Damn it, I'm here!"
Then, a loud roar echoed from the horizon.
Looking up instinctively, they saw a helicopter hovering in the sky.
And below the helicopter, a small dot could be faintly seen descending rapidly.
Upon closer inspection.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
It was a person, a man in his forties, with a robust physique!
