Killing Grounds of Gods and Devils Chapter 172: Simultaneous Advancement

Chapter 172: Simultaneous Advancement
The might of the Volcanic Rock Monster was simply too brutish, although Ma Ziye held the blade with both hands, she was still unable to bear the force as the webbing between her fingers tore, the Star Blade flying from her grasp. In this instant, Ma Ziye cried out as her right leg lifted, kicking the chest of the monster as she activated the Heaven’s Net.
Strands of metal thread extended forth instantly binding the monster within, Ma Ziye had instinctively used the Heaven’s Net to bind the Volcanic Rock Monster but realised that she did not have any powerful moves to deal with it.
She did not have any left but there was a person silently standing behind her, silently striking out as his surgical knives traced a strange trajectory in the air, stabbing into the joints of the chest and brain of the monster.
The entire body of the Volcanic Rock Monster was extremely tough, only the areas connected by joints were its weaknesses, especially the head region, as the surgical knives pierced, the Volcanic Rock Monster let out a frightening roar as its arms flailed, suddenly exploding out of the Heaven’s Net restriction with ‘Pa!’ ‘Pa!’ noises.
Ma Ziye suffered from the rebound as she immediately spat blood, the Volcanic Rock monster immediately moved as it pounced toward the person who had stabbed surgical knives into its joints.
This person was naturally Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun was born with an unnatural calmness, no matter the circumstance, it did not seem as though it affected him. It was due to this that he could always find the perfect opportunities, as Ma Ziye utilised the Heaven’s Net to trap this tier four beast soldier, he had been able to act in an instant to send his surgical knives flying into the joints of the monster.
Su Yu had already informed the group of the weakness of these Volcanic Rock Monsters, of all the joints, naturally the ones located at the head region were the most critical.
As the knives entered, the Volcanic Rock Monster retaliated by throwing its fist, smashing into the chest of Xu Ruyun. However, Xu Ruyun had prepared for this and surgical knives were covering his entire body, this blow immediately shattered several of the surgical knives as he spat blood, ignoring his injuries, he continued to circle his right and left hands around the head of the monster as he pulled and tugged, actually managing to pull the head off the body of the monster.
“Bang!”
The head of the Volcanic Rock Monster was tossed aside as more blood was spat from Xu Ruyun’s mouth, even so, a smile could be seen on his face.
Looking as the black crystal which was dyed with a faint red colour flew into his body, Xu Ruyun knew that he was about to advance.
Xu Ruyun was only a tier two dark iron warrior, he had managed to kill a tier four beast soldier, the amount of energy contained within its crystal was terrifying and was certainly greater than even the Single Eyed Zombie King. After absorbing the energy, it was without question that he would advance to become a tier three dark iron warrior.
To others, the three tier stage was incomparably distant, Xu Ruyun had managed to reach it in such a short amount of time, it seemed that he thrived in more dangerous situations.
Strange energy surged within his body as his wounds healed at a phenomenal speed, new abilities were currently being comprehended but Xu Ruyun did not pause as his figure flashed, immediately pouncing towards another Volcanic Rock Monster.
Of the group, Xu Ruyun was actually the first to kill a Volcanic Rock Monster.
Su Yu had knocked aside two of the Volcanic Rock Monsters but did not follow up as he immediately turned to deal with the monsters on another side, the situation was extremely precarious.
Ma Ziye’s Heaven’s Net lost its effectiveness as six Volcanic Rock Monsters pounced forward, besides Xu Ruyun who had managed to kill one, the other five went towards Zhang Zhongmou, Zhao Shichang, Qin Jiagui, Jade and Zhou Birong’s group as well as the man dressed in a western suit respectively.
Su Yu managed to see a Volcanic Rock Monster stretch its hands forward, grabbing Zhou Birong as its hands moved apart causing Zhou Birong to scream miserably, her left arm had been ripped off before she was tossed towards Jade who was still drawing symbols in the air.
Jade also screamed miserably as she was struck by Zhou Birong, the frightening force sent the two ladies tumbling as the Volcanic Rock Monster followed up swiftly, kicking the ground as its hands went forward, if this blow were to land, the two ladies would definitely be smashed into meat pulp.
Su Yu managed to notice this as his heart trembled, he could not be bothered about the two Volcanic Rock Monsters which he had just sent flying away as he roared, kicking as he flew forward with a phenomenal speed that he had never reached before, instantly reaching the Volcanic Rock Monster as he smashed forward with the Lizard’s Arm on his left and the Golden Thumb on his right.
Faced with this extremely sturdy monster, using the Lizard’s Arm which had a higher explosive power was better than the Rending Storm which focused on shredding, together with the slow speed of the monster, using the Lizard’s Arm would definitely have a better effect.
The immense Lizard’s Arm smashed into the Volcanic Rock Monster, Su Yu’s body trembled as he groaned, the Golden Thumb on his right hand had already pressed onto the head of the monster.
“Pa!”
The Volcanic Rock Monster did not have the time to make any sound as its head instantly disintegrated, a crystal flew out from its fallen body as it became a pile of immobile rocks.
The second Volcanic Rock Monster had died.
Zhou Birong and Jade had fallen to the ground, they were not moving and it was uncertain if they were still alive. The situation was simply too dangerous and Su Yu did not have the time to check on them as he swiftly moved on to another monster.
Xiao Wei retrieved some Curing Powder as she tossed it out, covering the entire group as those with injuries immediately heard ‘Chi Chi’ noises from their wounds, any bleeding was immediately halted.
Zhang Zhongmou had used his Red Lotus Sword to meet the oncoming Volcanic Rock Monster, he did not expect the Red Lotus Sword to rebound off the monster as though it had struck metal, he was preparing to use the Eye of Petrification but did not expect that his blow would be totally ineffective and his face was actually smashed by a fist from the monster.
“Aaaahhhh!” Zhang Zhongmou yelled, although his head had turned to stone, the force from the monster was simply too terrifying, this fist immediately caused his head to show fissure like cracks, causing unimaginable pain to course throughout his head.
“Aaaahhhh! Damned monster!” Zhang Zhongmou continued to yell as he randomly slashed with the Red Lotus Sword, activating the Red Lotus Fiery Assault in a crazed manner.
In the stone cave the previous day, faced with the White Skeletal Spider King, Su Yu and Ma Ziye had used the Earth Spikes Assault and Starlight respectively, only Zhang Zhongmou had the Red Lotus Fiery Assault which was unused.
The Red Lotus Fiery Assault was unable to deal with the tier three Single Eyed Zombie King, Zhang Zhongmou did not believe that this move would be able to deal with the Volcanic Rock Monster but had done so in panic due to the life threatening blow that he had just received.
However, something strange occurred, the flames from the Red Lotus Fiery Assault shrouded the monster within causing it to roar, closely after, the flames actually burned brighter as ‘Pa Pa’ noises resounded, in an instant, the other Volcanic Rock Monsters seemed as though they had seen something frightening as they swiftly retreated far away from the skill.
Zhang Zhongmou was currently seated on the ground, seeing the scene before him, he was in a daze. The Red Lotus Fiery Assault seemed to be extremely effective against these monsters, within the flames, the monster was actually unable to retaliate as it swiftly exploded.
Pieces of rubble collapsed as a crystal flew directly into Zhang Zhongmou’s head, thereafter, Zhang Zhongmou roared as the fissured cracks on his face healed, the stone continued to extend from his face, swiftly changing his entire chest causing him to become half a stone monster.
Following the third death of the Volcanic Rock Monster, Zhang Zhongmou had actually also become a tier three dark iron warrior.
The Volcanic Rock Monster that met with Qin Jiagui forcefully blocked his Demolishing Iron fist before suddenly raising him into the air.
“Aaaaahhh!” Qin Jiagui howled as he violently struggled, the Demolishing Iron Fist was continually sent out, however, he was disheartened to see that his skill was unable to penetrate the defenses of the monster, leaving only scratches behind without dealing any real damage.
The Volcanic Rock Monster had raised Qin Jiagui in the sky and was currently exerting its power, wanting to split Qin Jiagui in two. At this moment, Su Yu had just dealt with the second Volcanic Rock Monster and did not have the time to check on Jade and Zhou Birong as he pounced forward in an attempt to save Qin Jiagui.
Su Yu’s speed was greater than that of these monsters, the Golden Thumb on his right hand went forward, pressing down on the arm of the monster.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound rang out as the arm was instantly shattered, the Volcanic Rock Monster howled as it attempted to smash Qin Jiagui towards Su Yu. Su Yu had already appeared on the other side of it as he pressed the Golden Thumb once again onto the other arm of the monster.
The arm also swiftly shattered, the power of the Golden Blood was simply inconceivable.
The arms of the monster had been destroyed, Su Yu supported Qin Jiagui who was currently still in shock as he whispered to him: “Neck region.” before rushing to another Volcanic Rock Monster by the side.
