Chapter 373: Chapter 374: How to Fight

It’s worth mentioning that Tongshen Mountain has already lifted the power suppression on Mu Can and a few others; otherwise, sending them to challenge a Void Level creature with only the peak strength of Martial Arts Sect would be no different than sending them to their deaths.

Even so, facing such a creature, everyone still felt the difficulty of the situation.

If this big guy were to be thrown into the Mortal World, there would be no need for the current struggles there. Within the Mortal World, neither the forces of Mortal World nor those from the Immortal and Demon Worlds could produce a Void Level expert. Everyone is now striving to ensure that the first Void Level expert to emerge in the Mortal World comes from their own side.

Mu Can’s purpose here is precisely for this goal. As long as Mu Can can successfully step into the Void Level, the threat from the Demon World and Immortal World would be utterly insignificant.

But the world is full of unexpected twists; who would have thought that on the path to breaking through to the Void Level, one would encounter a Void Level expert? If the five of them could coordinate seamlessly, it would be fine, but the current situation is clearly not so. Mu Can and Donghuang could be considered archenemies, and if either of them shows any hesitation in the midst of battle, it would leave a significant risk for the outcome of the entire fight.

“The creature’s weakness is in its abdomen. Below its eyes is where its stomach connects; that’s its only weakness.”

Mu Can never imagined that one day he would have the possibility of fighting side by side with Donghuang. Donghuang felt the same, but unpredictable are the ways of the world, and anything can happen by chance. Compared to the serious matter of racial survival, their personal grievances could be put aside for the time being. However, who said that fighting side by side means no competition? Mu Can looked at Donghuang provocatively, his intention clear: do you dare to compare our performance in the upcoming battle?

Donghuang was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood Mu Can’s meaning—challenge accepted, who’s afraid of whom?

“How much do you know about this creature?” Asked Dongfeng Shuo in surprise, glancing at Mu Can. From her reaction, it was plain to see that she was determined to win this battle. She didn’t exhibit her usual calm composure faced with problems, implying that the Void Creature before them had also put considerable pressure on her.

Mu Can was actually pleased to see such a change. This mysterious old man had made him feel great pressure, and Mu Can couldn’t tell whether it was danger or some other sensation. But he believed that this time, facing such a formidable opponent, Dongfeng Shuo was bound to reveal some secrets.

Mu Can repeated the intelligence given to him by Wang Cai to the rest of the group. It appears the mysterious Teleportation Array on the Altar will take some more time to activate, which means the mysterious and terrifying Void Creature might not be able to cross over within the next few minutes. This signifies that the five of them still have time to discuss strategies.

“So, this Void Creature is definitely at the Void Level, right?” The low-profile man looked complexly at the Void Creature that was about to emerge.

No matter how strong a person is, their strength is limited. Even if they can hide their strength and keep a low profile, they can’t be at the Void Level. Now facing a Void Level opponent, it’s impossible not to be nervous.

After all, it’s the Void Level we’re talking about. Everyone who can access high-end combat in the Mortal World is well aware of the current situation.

Without absolute certainty, the Demon Clan would not dare to rashly attack Immortal Ancient Academy, nor would Immortal Ancient Academy be able to wipe out the entire Demon Clan in one fell swoop. This is because the decisive Void Level figures are unable to be produced at this time.

It’s a bit of an awkward situation where all the Void Level powerhouses in the Mortal World seem to have vanished, and all the deans who have broken through to the Void Level have disappeared from the Mortal World. Meanwhile, on the Demon Clan side, their Void Level figures from the Demon World cannot be teleported over. Without any Void Level figures, they dare not attack Immortal Ancient Academy, and if they don’t attack, they can’t summon any Void Level figures.

Under such circumstances, the Mortal World used the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm as a means to break the deadlock. Mu Can and Donghuang are both promising seed players given great expectations by the Immortal Ancient Academy. If either of them successfully breaks through to the Void Level, the threatening situation faced by the Mortal World would definitely be resolved instantly.

And inside the Immortal Ancient Academy itself, there is a clear divide into two factions, one led by Xuanyuan Mingkong supporting Mu Can, and another supporting Donghuang.

“Actually, we don’t need to be afraid. This Void Creature is clearly not in its peak condition; you can see that one of its four arms is broken, and that obvious scar on its right leg will definitely affect its speed,” Mu Can observed carefully. The Void Creature was indeed not at its peak condition as Mu Can had pointed out.

It seems that Tongshen Mountain is considerate enough not to give them a deathly trial. If they had to face a Void Creature at full power, even fifty of them combined would not stand a chance, as the gap in levels is as vast as a chasm.

If it’s said that a Martial Arts Sect could possibly defeat a Martial Saint by challenging beyond one’s level, a peak Martial Saint has never once defeated a Void Level figure. There has not been a single such case.

“Looking at it this way, there seems to be a chance to pass this trial,” the low-profile man mused for a moment, as if contemplating a strategy.

“Let’s just do it. My axe has never chopped a Void Level before; it’s just right to make this one my first prey,” said the brawny man with the huge axe, his voice booming. When he spoke, it seemed to echo throughout the entire space.

Mu Can looked at the brawny man curiously but didn’t uncover anything. He hadn’t forgotten—if it’s as Wang Cai said, this brawny man is likely to be from the Demon Clan.

But all these are mere conjectures, and no one knows whether the brawny man is genuinely from the Demon Clan or not.

“Alright, since there’s no turning back now, once the fight starts, Mu Can, you use ice to slow down its movement. Everyone else focuses on the tail and its injured arm. If, as you say, its weakness is the abdomen, once we have controlled its speed, we’ll jointly attack its vital spot,” the low-profile man organized his thoughts and started assigning tasks.

At this point, the others wouldn’t express any other opinions; they all were in the same boat. If they don’t put forth the effort, then they could only fail together.
