Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 77: One Punch

Chapter 77: One Punch

Mutated beasts were a gold mine of resources. After reading so many books about them, Chen Chu wasn’t going to let this bull go.

Just as Chen Chu was about to unleash his full strength, however, the woman within the cave suddenly shouted, "This person is too agile for Kura to handle alone. Attack together to restrict his movements."

"Yes, ma’am."

"Damn it." Chen Chu’s gaze instantly turned cold.

Those five individuals weren't weak; they were all cultivators. Although their strength was average, their extraordinary physique combined with those powerful modified firearms still posed a bit of a threat to him.

Especially if he was focused on the beast. Its tail alone had the force of several tons in a single strike, and if he were to be hit head-on by its sharp horns, even his strengthened battle armor would be pierced. Therefore...

Whoosh!

Chen Chu's figure disappeared in an instant.

Seeing the streaking shadow, the woman's eyes immediately sharpened. "He's coming. Retreat and cover the cave entrance. Suppress him with alternating gunfire."

As she spoke, she and the five individuals retreated several meters in unison, as they aimed their powerful rifles at the cave entrance. With a deafening roar, gunfire erupted, echoing in the cave.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

These rifles with thick barrels and enlarged ammunition had a strong recoil, enough to shatter the shoulder of an ordinary person. Similar to the black steel pistol holstered at Chen Chu's waist, they were weapons used for close-range combat against cultivators of the same level.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Under the alternating continuous fire of the five powerful rifles, the deafening sound inside the cave was comparable to the power of sniper rifles, as ten millimeter caliber bullets, each carrying enough kinetic energy to blast a person’s body apart, flooded the entrance.

But there was a reason Chen Chu had consumed so many attribute points to strengthen his armor.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Chen Chu lunged into the cave. Bullets struck his chest, shoulders, and thighs, creating sparks.

"How is this possible? Doesn't that kind of armor only block regular rifle bullets!?" The expressions of everyone in the cave changed drastically as they watched Chen Chu continue to rush closer despite being bombarded with bullets.

Boom!

Chen Chu swung his saber horizontally, a blade light sweeping through the air at a terrifying speed and instantly bisecting the three First Heavenly Realm guards standing together. Before they even hit the ground, he appeared in front of the Second Heavenly Realm guard on his left rear and spun around, his right left swinging through the air like a battle ax.

Crack!!

Under the fierce force, the gun barrel the cultivator used to shield himself bent, his chest was crushed, and he was sent flying over ten meters, crashing into the cave wall.

The remaining guard's expression turned fierce. Knowing there was no escape, he aimed the gun at the back of Chen Chu’s head and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three powerful bullets roared out, creating rings of invisible shockwaves in the air, but Chen Chu caught all of them in his left hand as he moved backwards.

Seeing the still smoking bullets in Chen Chu’s palm, the guard was horrified.

From this soldier’s aura, he was certain that the opponent was at the same realm as himself, both at the Second Heavenly Realm. But why was he so strong? His fellow soldier, also in Second Heavenly Realm, was killed with a single kick. Multiple bullets, strong enough to blow through an elephant’s skull, were caught easily at point blank.

Even if his armor has such an impenetrable defense, how does that explain the agility?

Boom!

Chen Chu took advantage of the guard’s distraction and kicked him squarely in the chest. Under the terrifying force, the man's chest collapsed, and blood spurted from his mouth as he flew out of the cave.

And all of this happened in just a few seconds. It wasn't until then that the woman reacted, her face pale as she shouted, "Don't kill me, I’m..."

Bang!

Without waiting for her to finish, Chen Chu clenched his left fist and directly blew up her head. He wouldn’t hold back, not when this woman was capable of commanding such a dangerous mutated beast. The only good enemy was a dead enemy.

The ground outside the cave shook. When the bull saw Chen Chu killing the woman, its eyes erupted with a fierce light, brimming with anger.

Moo!

With a roar, the four-meter-tall behemoth rushed into the cave, its massive body almost filling the entire entrance as it exuded a ferocious aura.

Boom!

The bull shredded Chen Chu's afterimage and slammed into the deep wall of the cave. The entire mountain shook, and countless rocks fell.

Seizing the moment, Chen Chu appeared behind the bull. His saber flashed like lightning as it struck the joint of the beast’s hind leg, which was twice as thick as an elephant's.

Slash!!

The sharp blade cut into the bull's hind leg, emitting an ear-piercing sound. It left a deep wound several centimeters long, revealing the dark red muscles underneath.

With all his strength, Chen Chu could only barely cut through the mutated beast's skin. Its defense was too powerful. Even when he sensed an incoming attack and quickly retreated, he was in awe.

Boom!

The bull swung its massive tail, instantly blasting the air within several meters behind it.

Unfortunately, Chen Chu was like an agile flea, and couldn't be attacked by the bull when he was on guard. He flashed to its side, the sharp blade aiming for its eyes.

Moo!

Sensing the attack, the bull suddenly reared up onto its hind legs before slamming back down.

Boom!

The ground trembled, and an invisible shockwave swept through the space. Dust filled the air, and countless rocks bounced off the ground.

But this time, Chen Chu had simply feinted, disappearing from where the bull's front legs had left the ground.

This cave was probably a place to raise these mutated bulls. The entrance was five meters high, and after about ten meters, it opened up to a space about twenty meters long, ten meters wide, and ten meters high.

Such a large space must have required a lot of manpower and resources to excavate, but it was only just enough room for the bull to turn around normally, giving Chen Chu the advantage. As soon as the shockwave dissipated, he appeared behind the bull like a ghost once again.

Squeak!

The sharp blade accurately struck the wound on the hind leg joint. This cut felt like slicing through tough gel, with great resistance, but much easier than cutting through the skin.

With a single blow, Chen Chu tore open a wound forty centimeters long and five centimeters deep, almost cutting open the side of the bull’s hind leg and revealing even redder tendons.

Moo!

Roaring in pain, the mutated black bull emitted an even more furious roar. Its thick and long tail flailed wildly behind it, and one strike landed heavily on Chen Chu's retreating back.

Bang!

Like a bowling ball, Chen Chu was slammed into the wall eight meters away by the tail. He could feel his blood boil as his excitement built further.

When it felt its tail hit Chen Chu, the bull suddenly turned around. Its eyes were fierce, and with a rapid momentum, it charged towards him.

Boom!

Rocks flew, and dust filled the air.

This attack only left a large pit several meters in diameter in the mountain wall, without hitting Chen Chu at all.

In this cramped cave, the large bull was restrained. The time it would take to turn around was enough for Chen Chu to run around the cave several times.

Moo!

The mutated black bull let out a roar in anger, turning to escape from the cave. Although its intelligence was limited, it realized that continuing to fight in such a small space might lead to its death.

"Where do you think you’re going?"
