Monsters Die When Killed

Chapter 326: Chapter 47: What Can You Do Besides Being Shocked?

The camp fell into a dead silence. The Daoist Saint, whose projection had just appeared, linked into the communications. "What’s happening?" he asked urgently.

"What, an Otherworld passage?!"

Immediately, Daoist Saint Zhang Qingyun’s voice rose in pitch. "What’s the situation? Do you need a heavy-firepower bombardment? Or should I head over to provide support?"

Before the Daoist Saint’s tense questions could be answered, another report came in from Bai Canglang on the front lines. This time, his voice was filled with astonishment and panic. "The Divine Bird Peacock is making its move! It’s so powerful! This aura... it’s even stronger than Professor Su!"

His voice was filled with utter disbelief, and he even gasped. "It’s the Five Elements Divine Light! Professor Su’s Wind Thunder Attribute has been sealed!"

"How is Professor Su supposed to win this fight?!"

"Five-Colored Divine Light? Don’t engage it directly! All of you, pull back and wait for reinforcements!"

The Daoist Saint gave a decisive command. "The Teleportation Array will be active shortly. Don’t fight the Divine Bird Peacock head-on. Wait until we’ve gathered our forces and use our superior numbers to—"

"Report! The Divine Bird Peacock has been slain by Professor Su!"

Suddenly, Bai Canglang’s voice shot up an octave, utterly stupefied. "Professor Su seems to have Fire Spiritual Power, too! He just unleashed it and, with one punch, sent the Divine Bird Peacock’s head spinning three times! Within thirty seconds, its beak was cracked and he’d stomped its skull to pieces!"

Daoist Saint: "Huh?"

The other Holy Seats: "Huh???"

"The Otherworld army is in a full-scale collapse! All the Evil Beasts are fleeing... Professor Su is pushing forward alone... Huh? Why is Professor Su... carving up the Peacock’s flesh?" he muttered to himself.

At this point, the voice of Bai Canglang, who had been reporting the whole time, suddenly turned sheepish. It seemed he’d just realized that from start to finish, aside from being shocked, gasping in surprise, and sniping a little girl from a distance, he hadn’t done a single thing. "Er, we didn’t even get a chance to step in..." freeweɓnovel.cøm

Meanwhile, the atmosphere back at the camp had grown silent, awkward, and hollow.

After a long pause, the Military Saint, likely realizing he wouldn’t be needing the hydrogen bomb after all, rubbed his bald head. The nearly hundred-year-old, world-wise veteran said in bewilderment, "Professor Su... was he fighting a sentient marshmallow?"

No one answered him. Bai Canglang was still reporting on the aftermath—things like "Professor Su drove off the Evil Beasts," "After Professor Su entered the hall, no more Evil Beasts came out," and "The Space-Time Passage seems to have gone silent"—but few were paying attention anymore.

One by one, the holographic projections vanished. The Central Command Chamber gradually returned to its usual atmosphere, with no one speaking over the sounds of tapping screens and clacking keyboards.

After some time, the Teleportation Array was successfully activated, and the vast majority of the exploration team’s members returned to Earth.

「On that day.」

Su Zhou, Professor of the Practical Combat System at Zhengguo Qinxing Academy, led the Secret Realm exploration team in the Kunlun Secret Realm to rout the vanguard forces of the Otherworld codenamed "Beast God Realm." He defeated and captured one Extraordinary High-tier Divine Bird, a Golden-winged Roc, and killed one Extraordinary High-tier Divine Bird, a Peacock.

Three wounded, zero dead.

A resounding, total victory.

After a good while, inside the Sealing Hall, the Zhengguo Government finally managed to connect to Su Zhou’s Communication Array, which had been slightly damaged in the intensity of the battle.

The Artifice Sage’s voice came through. "Professor Su, do you require immediate teleportation out of the Secret Realm?"

"No, that’s alright. I’ll just continue to stand guard here."

"Why?"

Su Zhou’s reply came in a rather strange tone. "Because the passage turned white." freёwebnovel.com

"It looks like the Otherworld... used some method to block the passage on their end."
