The ground shook violently.
Twelve giant monsters surrounded one spot, roaring continuously, occasionally interspersed with shrill screams, accompanied by the dense sound explosions, causing the dust from above to fall incessantly.
The violent air currents passed through the gaps between the monsters, blowing the surrounding dust and debris into chaos.
"Boom!"
One giant monster flew backward, soaring a good five or six meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
Its leg bones were already bizarrely bent, its abdomen slashed open with a massive blood mouth, it screamed continuously, attempting to stand up, only for a loud splash, as a large mass of intestines surged from its belly, strewn across the ground.
In the seconds when it fell, another three giant monsters flew out.
In fact, trapped within the encirclement, Chen Shouyi was not much better off, his face bruised and swollen, with blood streaming from his nose and mouth, in a state of extreme disarray.
Unlike Luo Jingwen, whose smaller stature allowed him to face at most three giant monsters directly.
Chen Shouyi's height was already half that of the giant monsters.
He faced four giant monsters simultaneously.
Just as he kicked and broke a monster's leg bone, a massive fist, enveloped in twisting air, exploded like a bomb on his back.
His body, under this immense force, was slammed heavily onto the ground.
The concrete ground exploded, its surface pulverized into dust.
Chen Shouyi merely groaned, quickly rolled away, barely leaving the human-shaped pit that was several centimeters deep, when a huge foot landed close to his side, triggering a wave of shock.
Chen Shouyi spat blood, his face cold as if covered in frost, his long sword slicing through, severing the huge foot. However, this was far from over; as the monster's screams rolled in its throat, Chen Shouyi clapped his hands to the ground, springing forth like a spring, directly piercing at its crotch.
The sword hilt disappeared.
The monster's eyes bulged, its body frozen in place, until Chen Shouyi's long sword hacked off the arm of another attacking monster.
The opponent finally let out a shrill howl, staggered backward several steps, and sat heavily on the ground, blood beneath it gushing like a spring.
In his giant transformation, Chen Shouyi's raw power was almost comparable to these monsters, but the explosive power he unleashed was even more formidable than these monsters that relied solely on their instincts, with movements more agile and defense stronger.
The monster's fists could only cause minor injuries to him, at most slightly damaging his lungs.
As for the 0.4 reduction in agility from the giant transformation, it hardly affected him.
His intelligence and agility attributes were so vastly different, the limitation on reaction speed severely impacted the agility performance; even if his agility wasn't reduced, his high agility of 17.6 could not be fully utilized.
As time passed.
The number of giant monsters around him dwindled, while the nearby corpses increased.
When he was surrounded by only the last three, these monsters were finally overwhelmed by fear, turning to flee in panic.
However, Chen Shouyi could not let them leave.
Not only would these monsters, once escaped, likely obstruct their subsequent actions, just from the beating he received earlier, he could not let them off.
Who would be willing to take a beating in vain!
Chen Shouyi slammed his foot down heavily, exploding a large pit in the ground, his body like a cannonball, instantly catching up to one of the monsters. Still in mid-air, his long sword sliced through like a stream of light, halting the monster's body as it ran several more steps, before a massive head detached and rolled to the ground.
His sword was 1.1 meters long, with a sword qi of 23 centimeters, making a total of 1.33 meters, whereas the thickest part of the monster's odd neck was over half a meter, yet less than one meter.
As he landed, he quickly chased down another monster in several strides.
Slashing it down again with one stroke.
The third monster couldn't help but glance back, instantly terrified to the point of being scattered, leaping blindly to break a factory beam, spreading its wings, and shakily flying toward the sky.
Damn it, consider yourself lucky!
He couldn't fly, and the distance was too far, leaving him to watch as it slipped away.
Another severely wounded monster, seeing the situation, hurriedly spread its wings too, dragging long intestines from its abdomen, attempting to escape.
But Chen Shouyi's quick eyes and hands grabbed a machine tool beside him and smashed it heavily into the ground.
This massacre finally drew the attention of the three giant monsters on Luo Jingwen's side and the distant barbarians, as panic spread rapidly, the remaining monsters' morale collapsed, unwilling to fight, seeing Chen Shouyi charging towards them, instantly terrified, their whole bodies shivering, as they leaped to swiftly fly away attempting to escape.
Catching the monsters' chaos, Luo Jingwen immediately seized the opportunity, leaped, and slashed off one of its lower legs with a sword.
Landing, his legs weakened, his body exhausted, he kneeled to the ground, his teeth clenched as he struggled to stand, panting heavily as sweat poured like a spring.
He glanced around somewhat dazed, seeing giant monster corpses everywhere, feeling slightly lost.
Was this all Chen Shouyi's doing?
But how was this possible!
Wasn't he a new martial artist?
Oh right, there's Zhu Xueqing too!
He immediately looked towards the distance, seeing Zhu Xueqing still alive, as giant-transformed Chen Shouyi rushed over at an astonishing speed to rescue her.
His heart instantly relaxed, unable to hold on any longer, he sat heavily to the ground.
In fact, there was no need for rescue anymore.
The barbarians had totally collapsed, fleeing frantically in all directions.
After Chen Shouyi killed over a dozen barbarians, the factory was cleared of them, leaving only the tattered, exposed Zhu Xueqing standing alone, staring at Chen Shouyi as if she had seen a ghost.
He did not pursue them, instead lifting the giant transformation.
As his body reverted, he paled noticeably, swaying before regaining his balance.
Now he noticed the bloodstain on Zhu Xueqing's chest, his heart tightened, and once his stamina slightly recovered, he walked over immediately, concerned, "You're bleeding, are you okay?"
Unlike himself, who could self-heal even if his internal organs shattered, returning to normal.
Once severely injured, given the current situation, even a martial artist could only wait for death.
Seeing Chen Shouyi approaching, Zhu Xueqing suddenly blushed, quickly avoiding his gaze, forcing herself to say calmly, "I'm... I'm fine, just a minor injury."
Chen Shouyi felt somewhat baffled.
Why blush out of the blue?
It was understandable on a first meeting, many girls would blush at seeing him.
But after knowing each other for so long, what's the point of continuing to blush?
A breeze suddenly blew past, and he abruptly felt a chill underneath.
His expression stiffened.
The clothes on his body, including his underwear, had already been torn to rags during the intense battle earlier.
Now, he was completely nude.
This was truly embarrassing.
He decided to feign ignorance, pretending as if he hadn't noticed, naturally saying, "Since you're fine, I'll go check if there're any monsters left alive!"
He said that before turning around, quickly walking away.
Luckily, these barbarians, influenced by human assimilation, were mostly dressed.
He grabbed a piece of clothing from the corpse nearby.
Tying it around his waist.
He finally felt natural again.
Alas!
Even elastic underwear is not dependable!
