Chapter 754: Chapter 758 Endure It to Death!
“It seems like it really does have the ability to foresee attacks,” Zhu Minglang patted the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, indicating there was no need for a sneak attack anymore.
“Then what should we do, blind its left eye?” Wu Xiao asked.
Zhu Minglang looked at the young man with the tree on his back as if he were looking at an idiot. He was truly one of the most foolish deities he had ever seen.
Since it possessed the ability to foresee others’ attacks, it would naturally be able to predict the intention to blind its eyes.
Fortunately, Zhu Minglang had also experienced true prophetic divine arts and had heard from Li Xinghua about how to break certain fates that had become deterministic.
“Apart from its left eye ability, how are its other divine skills?” Zhu Minglang asked.
...
“With our current cultivation base, we shouldn’t need to be too wary,” Linghu Ling said.
“Good, we’ll follow my method in a bit,” Zhu Minglang nodded.
“Are you sure you have a way to deal with it?” Linghu Ling asked.
“Trust me, it’ll work!” Zhu Minglang smiled confidently.
Foresight of attacks and nothing else, how hard could it be to handle?
…
The downpour continued to the skies, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
The mountain peak remained dry, but it had already been battered beyond recognition by various destructive energies, leaving it riddled with holes and ditches.
Within a long trench, the Red Sky Beast was roaring in anger, as if it wanted to tear Zhu Minglang, this cunning human, to shreds!
Zhu Minglang had no intention of engaging in prolonged battle, using the shade of the Companion Tree to dodge the Red Sky Beast, and when the Red Sky Beast tried to flee, Zhu Minglang raised his sword to the sky and brought down a large number of giant sword gravestones, once again suppressing the Red Sky Beast within the mountain, forcing it unable to escape!
“Xiaoye, don’t doze off, keep watch, it’s almost done!” Zhu Minglang said to the Nuwa Dragon.
The Nuwa Dragon was already struggling to stay awake, but Zhu Minglang’s shout roused her spirits. She hastily drew a special curse seal and then, like a small mountain that could move, pressed down on the back of the Red Sky Beast.
The Red Sky Beast was close to collapse!
For the past ten days, Zhu Minglang hadn’t fought it at all; he was just wearing it out here!
You can foresee attacks, huh? Then I won’t attack.
Just keep you trapped here, deplete your spirit and energy, deplete your strength. After all, everyone in Dragon Gate will consume their spirit root, and the Red Sky Beast is no exception.
“I don’t have many fruits left on this tree, I can hold on for at most another day or two. If we can’t take it down by then, our cultivation base will also decrease,” Wu Xiao said with a grim face.
He had not expected Zhu Minglang’s so-called countermeasure to be such a torturous tactic.
Ten days, a full ten days.
All the people and dragons hadn’t closed their eyes. They were holding on to the Red Sky Beast, none of their offensive moves aimed at defeating the divine beast, but instead to wear out its stamina and energy.
“The power of foresight is very draining on mental strength. If you think about defeating it, it has a hundred ways to break you. So fighting it is meaningless,” Zhu Minglang said.
Additionally, the power of precognition has time limits.
Take this Red Sky Beast, for example, it can foresee any attack that threatens it within one minute, so even if an extensive area-covering attack is used, it would choose the most suitable moment to escape or force you to be unable to carry out the attack.
In this way, it could always remain undefeated!
Zhu Minglang intended to stretch this battle indefinitely, to the point where the Red Sky Beast would be completely exhausted. Once it became so weary that its consciousness turned blurry, and it was tormented to the point of utter fatigue, even if it still could barely predict the attacks, most likely it wouldn’t have a clear enough mind to fend them off!
The Red Sky Beast would never expect its opponent to adopt such tactics. At this moment, it is like a fierce beast trapped in a cage, capable of shredding anyone who dares to enter in minutes; but why should one go in and fight a caged beast? Just wait for it to become hungry, thirsty, sleepy, and tired before dealing with it.
“I get it, but it’s quite a grinding process. I can hardly hold up myself, and I even took a nap in the middle of it,” Wu Xiao said.
“Miss Linghu, just one more day, and we’ll make our move. Its precognitive energy is probably almost spent… Miss Linghu?” Zhu Minglang called out.
Linghu Ling was leaning against a rocky outcropping, standing ramrod straight. Surrounded by more than a dozen blue Flying Swords, exuding a murderous aura, and patrolling within a ten-meter radius around her, the Miss Linghu had already fallen asleep, unresponsive to Zhu Minglang’s several calls.
“Miss Linghu, if you’re going to sleep, at least try not to drool…” Zhu Minglang said.
Upon hearing this, Linghu Ling abruptly woke up and hurriedly used her fairy-like sleeve to wipe the corner of her mouth, only to find it completely clean, with nothing there!
“Hmph!” Linghu Ling glared fiercely at Zhu Minglang.
“This Red Sky Beast is almost at its limit. I feel like it’s begging us with its eyes, as if asking us to finish it off because it can’t hold on any longer,” Zhu Minglang remarked.
Wu Xiao and Linghu Ling almost asked Zhu Minglang to finish them off too, having never seen such a hunting method before – one that relies on weariness!
…
Just as Linghu Ling said, aside from its precognitive left eye, the Red Sky Beast’s other divine abilities were not particularly strong.
Facing the combined assault of Zhu Minglang, Linghu Ling, and Zhu Minglang’s three dragons, the Red Sky Beast once again displayed its incredibly dodging capability, and every time Zhu Minglang thought about making a move, he would quickly realize the beast already knew…
Fortunately, Zhu Minglang was not in a hurry.
After enduring for ten days, what was this final stretch?
Zhu Minglang sought not to win, but to deplete the limited precognitive energy of the Red Sky Beast.
Once its energy was depleted, the Red Sky Beast would be no different from an ordinary Divine Beast. Zhu Minglang had killed about a dozen or twenty such beasts on this journey, mostly to maintain his cultivation base.
“It’s reacting slower!” Wu Xiao suddenly exclaimed.
“Don’t let your guard down, trap it, don’t let it escape. Right now, it is entirely focused on fleeing!” Zhu Minglang told Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao immediately invoked his divine power, causing countless roots from his Companion Tree to grow frenetically. These roots entangled densely on the ground and extended towards the sky!
Soon, the roots formed a gigantic cage, some of which even wound around the thick roots like dragons from the wild, creating a nest supported by the root system!
The Red Sky Beast had originally thought about escaping this mountaintop at the cost of injury, only to find another cage suppressing it. It didn’t even want to flap its wings anymore and gave up the thought of breaking out.
“Don’t rush to victory. Even if we’re about to have our final showdown, take it slow. If you really cannot endure, retreat for a distance and rest a bit. We have many people and dragons… oh, and a tree!” Zhu Minglang continued to insist on this combat philosophy!
