Chapter 88: The Belated Rescue
A soft sigh echoed in the arena, startling the surviving members of the enforcement team, whose bloodshot eyes revealed a different kind of emotion.
Have the reinforcements finally arrived? That's what they were thinking.
The result clearly disappointed them; standing before them was not reinforcements, but a strange man.
Wearing a black trench coat that covered his chin, and with a slightly solemn expression, the person who arrived was none other than Fu Jiu.
The few remaining law enforcement officers were stunned for a moment. Who was this person? They didn't recognize him at all.
Only Wu Song felt a surge of joy upon seeing Fu Jiu, but he quickly became disappointed.
He vaguely remembered that Fu Jiu was only a cultivator who had just entered the third rank. Such strength was useless in front of the Caesar Giant Lizard. Just look at Captain Xiong Ming, who was already completely dead. Even a mid-stage third rank cultivator would be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter, let alone Fu Jiu, who had just entered the third rank.
The Caesar Giant Lizard's gaze was also drawn to the sudden appearance of Fu Jiu. After sensing the energy fluctuations within Fu Jiu's body, a human-like expression of disdain appeared in the Caesar Giant Lizard's eyes.
Food in the mid-stage of the third tier has mediocre qi and blood, only slightly stronger than the person clinging to him. In the past, such a being would at most be food for him.
However, don't forget, Fu Jiu isn't going to be foolish enough to come here and die. To be honest, he was quite surprised to see the Caesar Giant Lizard here. Forest royalty like it is a rare sight.
These damned giant lizards are not only powerful, but they are also social animals. Even fourth-level cultivators dare not easily provoke them. However, a lone Caesar lizard is a different story.
With a loud bang, the gate to the villa was kicked open roughly, followed by several unfamiliar voices.
"Fu Jiu, you ran way too fast."
Li Si's complaining voice came over, followed unsurprisingly by the Flower Monk, Nangong Changwan, and Lü Wende.
The river god, who had already completed his special mission, followed behind, but his presence was so faint that he could easily be overlooked if one wasn't paying attention.
The four men looked grim upon seeing the scene in the courtyard; it was no exaggeration to call it a slaughterhouse.
The ground was littered with mutilated limbs, and occasionally you could see half a broken head, as well as... the deep resentment in the eyes of the dead.
"Amitabha Buddha, what a sin, what a sin..."
The monk chanted two Zen phrases, his eyes filled with anger. He was no ordinary monk who only knew how to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. Seeing this scene, any normal person would feel angry.
The group silently surrounded the Caesar lizard. The lizard sensed a strong sense of unease from the group, the last time it felt this way was when the strange bird wiped out its kind. This time, however, it felt the same threat from the small humans.
The Caesar lizard glanced at Fu Jiu and the others, then let out a low growl as if in a show of defiance.
Fu Jiu ignored him and said in a deep voice, "Quickly finish this battle and take down this big guy!"
"Alright, that's exactly what I've been waiting for, Director."
Nangong Changwan was the first to roll up his sleeves and rush towards the Caesar lizard. He felt a little aggrieved after seeing what had just happened.
Although these law enforcement officers often clashed with him, after all, he was a wanted man who had been hunted many times, their eyes still couldn't help but turn red when they saw this scene.
He was a human being, not a heartless beast. These law enforcement officers did treat him poorly, and even had a considerable grudge against him, but no matter what, they were still human beings and should not be bullied by a beast.
As Nangong Changwan ran towards the Caesar monitor lizard, his size continued to increase, and by the time he reached the Caesar monitor lizard, he had become a colossal creature.
Having spent so long in the second tier, his accumulated knowledge and skills were even more profound than Bai Qi's. In addition, he was born with divine strength, and his life essence was much higher than that of ordinary cultivators. Therefore, his state after activating his life potential was also stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.
The enormous body, measuring approximately 3.2 meters in length, left the giant lizard stunned. This size was even larger than the lizard itself. Was this monster really human?
After activating their life potential, ordinary third-tier cultivators who reach a height of around 2.78 meters are considered among the best in the third tier. Most third-tier cultivators, even those in the late stages or at the peak, are only a little over 3 meters tall.
Nangong Changwan has already reached this level after just breaking through to the third rank. It's no exaggeration to say that he has superhuman strength. No wonder Nangong Changwan was always dissatisfied with Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu. It seems that he really does have some ability.
The massive body collided with the Caesar monitor lizard, and the huge lizard was forced to take a few steps back, its sharp claws leaving deep scratches on the ground.
"Haha, that's satisfying! You beast, you dared to kill so many people. Today I'll beat you to death."
Nangong Chang had nothing else to offer but his immense strength, which was perfect for wrestling with a monster like the Caesar Giant Lizard.
Humans at the same level might use weapons and schemes, and even if Nangong Changwan were incredibly strong, he couldn't just charge through. But demonic beasts are different. They surpass cultivators at the same level in physical abilities, and their bodies are their strongest weapons. They can simply tough it out.
This is precisely Nangong Changwan's favorite fighting style; he has never been afraid of anyone in terms of strength.
Seeing Nangong Changwan holding the Caesar lizard's head with one arm and frantically pounding its head with the other, the Flower Monk couldn't resist the urge to join in. He activated his life potential and immediately rushed forward.
"Wait a minute, let me test its strength."
After the Flower Monk awakened his life potential, he grew to nearly three meters tall, a head shorter than Nangong Changwan, but his imposing presence was in no way inferior.
Thanks to his years of training that gave him a body of bronze skin and iron bones, once he entered a state of potential activation, the Flower Monk's skin turned bronze and shone brightly in the sun, making him look like a living bronze statue.
After their potential was unleashed, their clothes inevitably ripped off. Luckily, their underwear was of decent quality, otherwise it would have turned into two naked men fighting a lizard monster, which is just an eyesore.
Seeing that he wasn't needed for the time being, Li Si shrugged and walked over to the few remaining law enforcement officers. If possible, he wanted to try his best to save them.
If the other party were gang members or mercenaries, Li Si would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word. But the other party were members of the law enforcement team, and the injuries on their bodies were sustained while fighting against the Caesar lizard.
These people are true heroes, and heroes should not die like this.
Both Li Si and Fu Jiu did not consider themselves good people or heroes, but that did not prevent them from having respect for these people.
