Chapter 2609: Looking for Chang’e
Even Xie Daoyun and the others were shocked.
Even though Zu An had attained immortality, the Monster Lord’s strength was at least on par with many deities. It would be one thing if he was caught off guard by Zu An’s seven-colored light, but how could the Monster Lord’s arm be lopped off so easily in a confrontation?
Only Yun Yuqing could fathom a guess as to what happened. Big brother Zu has fought too many powerful figures in the Celestial World, including Celestial Emperor-tier opponents. His will is far too strong for the Monster Lord to oppose.
The concept of one’s willpower influencing one’s fighting prowess was no secret. In a fight between two people of similar strength, the one with stronger willpower was likely to claim the upper hand. Yun Yuqing had seen plenty of such examples in her many years of cultivation.
But tempering one’s willpower was easier said than done. It had to be slowly built up by accruing victories against powerful opponents. Zu An had only fought the Celestial Emperors to a draw, but considering his far weaker cultivation, that was a formidable feat. If that couldn’t temper an invincible will, nothing would.
The Monster Lord, not knowing the true story, couldn’t understand how Zu An could have become this powerful when he had only left for a short time. In the end, he attributed it to a fortuitous encounter in the legendary Celestial Court. He glanced at the unconscious Lord of Slaughter, and he suddenly felt extreme fear.
This isn’t an opponent I can defeat! The thought of that made him lose all fighting spirit. Smoke swiftly enveloped him as he unleashed all his escape methods. By the time the smoke dissipated, he was already nowhere to be seen.
Zu An sensed a spatial disturbance, and judging from that, he deduced that the Monster Lord had used a teleportation artifact. However, he didn’t stop the Monster Lord, as the latter wasn’t meant to die in this era.
Instead, he cast a sweeping gaze across the monster army and bellowed, “I’ll give you ten days to scram from this world. I’ll purge every monster who’s still here after ten days.”
The invading monster army was so huge that Zu An couldn’t hope to defeat them single-handedly. Even if he could, the monster army’s desperate retaliation would only inflict greater damage on this world.
