My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 368 - 369: So That’s How It Is!
Countless thick, dragon-like green vines burst forth from the base of the mountains.
They intertwined in the air to form an endless giant web, securely encompassing the entire expanse of mountains stretching over several thousand square kilometers.
In the sky, the colossal Elf Illusion stood towering, slowly extending its hands composed of pure Life Energy...
As if holding up the sky, it steadily supported the massive mountain wrapped in vines.
"Rumble—!"
The earth groaned under the immense weight, trembling violently, as if the very foundations of the world were shaking.
The mountains were forcibly torn from the earth, slowly rising, blotting out the sun, and casting a shadow over everything below.
Witnessing this scene, resembling the wrath of a deity bringing about the end of the world...
Shen Ruoxue, Veronica, and Cecilia were completely petrified, their minds going blank.
Lifting... lifting an entire mountain?!
Is this truly power that a human can possess?!
Shen Ruoxue’s mouth twitched as she nervously swallowed, staring at the straight back of Gu Xing.
Due to the importance of her Talent...
She often carried out various tasks under the orders of Long Zhenguo.
As a result, among the three, she knew the least about Gu Xing.
She only knew that throughout the Human Race, it was rumored that...
Gu Xing is the Guardian of humanity.
But it wasn’t until she witnessed it with her own eyes that she realized...
This title is well-deserved!
Whether in terms of strength or the contributions Gu Xing has made to humanity, he lives up to this name.
Veronica was equally frozen in place.
The last time she met Gu Xing was at the Council on Blue Star.
At that time, her elders even wanted to match her with Gu Xing.
After all, they told her that given some time, Gu Xing would surely grow fully.
But she didn’t expect...
The time would be this soon!
As for Cecilia, it was even less say.
She had once been on opposing sides with Gu Xing for a time.
But now...
Not to mention being Gu Xing’s adversary...
With her current strength, she might not even be qualified to warrant his attention.
Gu Xing, of course, had no time to attend to the tumultuous thoughts of the three.
He concentrated on sensing the situation at the mountain’s base, furrowing his brows slightly.
As the mountains were being lifted, the more pure and dense Demonic Qi suppressed below surged out like a flood that had been unleashed.
And the Totem-level Demon Clan bound by Vera’s vines, absorbing this Demonic Qi frantically...
In a short time, its power broke through to a Tier Two, its struggling power suddenly strengthened, causing the green vines to emit a faint tightening sound.
"Troublesome."
Gu Xing immediately focused his thoughts and conveyed new instructions to Vera.
In the sky, the massive Elf Illusion received the command, and the arms lifting the mountain began to move slowly.
The entire sky was obscured by the moving mountain, the light dimming as if an apocalypse was coming.
In the next moment—
"Boom!!!!"
A deafening, earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted!
Under the shocked and horrified gaze of Shen Ruoxue and the others,
The Elf Illusion hurled the entire mountain it was holding, like tossing a colossal stone.
Toward the Totem Tier Two Demon Clan bound by the vines, it swung it fiercely!
The shadow cast by the mountain instantly swallowed that Demon Clan.
Its newly ascended Totem Tier Two strength appeared so feeble against the exceedingly pure physical weight of the entire mountain.
It only managed to release a scream of terror before being thoroughly overwhelmed by the tremendous mountain!
"Boom—!"
Another muffled, extreme explosion echoed as the earth heaved like waves.
Dust billowed into the sky, spreading for dozens of miles.
When the dust finally settled, the spot where the Demon Clan’s leader had been...
Was completely overshadowed and subdued by the entire moved mountain, forming a new, more majestic peak.
That powerful Totem Tier Two Demon Clan, along with its struggling vestiges, was buried forever at the mountain’s deepest layer.
...
Meanwhile, at the Ghost Clan’s residence.
Qing was earnestly persuading the furious Clan Leader You.
"Clan Leader, Qing Shuang and Fei Yue chose to enter the Forbidden Land of the ancestral grounds, though Gu Xing played a part, it was ultimately their own decision. You can’t put all the blame on Gu Xing."
But You wouldn’t listen, "Even if it’s not entirely Gu Xing’s fault, that brat shouldn’t have tied me up."
"Last time I was careless, I didn’t dodge!"
"This time I’ll definitely restore my honor!"
"I’ve been in the Totem Level for many years, how can I truly not be a match for a Monarch Level junior?"
"Just watch, I’m going to catch that brat Gu Xing right now!"
Qing, seeing the stubborn clan leader, was full of helplessness.
He had personally witnessed the terrifying strength of the Elf beside Gu Xing, it was far beyond an ordinary Totem Level.
In the last confrontation, it was clear the opponent held back.
Otherwise, the clan leader may not have been able to withstand even one move.
However, no matter how Qing tried to dissuade, You was determined to restore his pride.
Just as Qing was about to give up, silently praying for Gu Xing to go easy on him.
Clan Leader You, having just stormed out of the Ghost Clan gates, suddenly froze like he was under a Freezing Spell.
He stood rigidly, mouth agape, staring dumbfoundedly into the distance.
The Ghost Clan gates faced the mountain where the Nine Nether Centipede King resided.
Due to their close proximity, there had been numerous skirmishes in the past.
But now...
That expansive mountain range...
Was gone!
Replaced by a vast, flat expanse, as if erased by a divine force!
Clan Leader You’s mind, once filled with anger, was jolted awake as if doused by cold water from head to toe.
Earlier, Gu Xing had stated he planned to rescue the humans trapped within the Nine Nether Centipede King’s territory.
Thus, the creator of this spectacle was obvious!
"Gulp..."
Clan Leader You gulped nervously, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
He quietly, slowly retracted the foot he had just stepped out the door with.
He looked down at his own body, then imagined the scenario of an entire mountain crashing down on him...
Yeah, he was definitely not tougher than the mountain.
The previously burning intention to teach Gu Xing a lesson was thoroughly extinguished by the cold reality.
He turned around, saying nothing, head hung low, his steps heavy as he walked back inside the residence.
Qing, who had been anxiously watching from behind, was baffled seeing the clan leader return so quickly, completely devoid of his earlier vigor:
"Clan Leader, what happened...?"
You didn’t answer, merely gesturing with his hand before heading straight towards his dwelling.
He only wished for peace now.
As for settling scores with Gu Xing?
Ahem, young folks having their own ideas isn’t a bad thing, as elders, we should be more forgiving.
Besides, Gu Xing had promised to bring Qing Shuang and Fei Yue back?
Since he realized his mistake (as an elder, I shouldn’t be too petty, right?
Qing, observing the complete transformation in the clan leader’s attitude, felt his curiosity reach a peak.
He couldn’t resist following the path You had taken, stepping outside the Ghost Clan gates.
Upon seeing the emptiness outside, appearing as though the mountains had been erased by gods, he too was momentarily petrified.
He also grasped the reason for the clan leader’s sudden change in demeanor.
"So... this is it..."
Qing murmured to himself, likewise turning around silently.
