At this moment, after the Giant Flame Beast let out an angry roar, it suddenly turned its body, surprisingly leaving Shu and El behind as it charged directly towards Yu'an City.
This extremely sudden action by the Giant Flame Beast not only frightened Shu and El, but also startled the spectators within Yu'an City. They originally thought Shu and El could easily slay the Giant Flame Beast outside the city, yet unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the Giant Flame Beast abandoned them and rushed toward Yu'an City. The people on the city walls were scared witless, and a middle-aged man urgently ordered the city people to retreat. But given the Giant Flame Beast's speed, the city was breached before they could evacuate.
Shu and El reacted quickly; as soon as the Giant Flame Beast changed direction, they snapped out of their brief daze.
"Stop it quickly, attack its legs," Shu shouted, his figure swiftly sinking, while the threads in his hand, akin to a Spiritual Snake, attacked the Giant Flame Beast's six legs.
El was even more direct, his form turned to wind, and he wielded his spear to stab at the Giant Flame Beast's leg. The two worked together with remarkable synergy and speed, and before the Giant Flame Beast could react, El had already sliced open one of its legs with his spear. The sharp black light pierced the Giant Flame Beast's front leg, almost severing it. Even so, the Giant Flame Beast endured the pain, determined to rush towards Yu'an City; if it couldn't catch those two little things, it would unleash all its fury elsewhere.
El hadn't expected the Giant Flame Beast to be so fiercely determined, rushing toward Yu'an City despite its injured front leg, ignoring the two of them. With a sigh, El thrust his spear again, but this time Shu acted faster. Controlling the thread in his hand, he stabbed into the cut that El had made, and with a flick of his arm, the Wind Force gathered on the thread exploded like a bomb.
The sound of wind arose, followed by an explosion-like sound. The Giant Flame Beast let out a painful howl, and amidst the golden-red flames, flesh flew everywhere. Under Shu's attack, the Giant Flame Beast's left front leg exploded and broke apart. Missing the support of one leg, the Giant Flame Beast's enormous, clumsy body lost balance and crashed heavily to the left.
A rumbling sound ensued, and massive clouds of dust rose, obscuring everyone's vision. Amidst this dust, the Giant Flame Beast's howls kept echoing. The city's inhabitants didn't witness this scene, as they were still frantically evacuating. Only those like Babu on the city walls who didn't leave saw this spectacular event, cheering erupted from them.
However, Shu and El didn't cheer; instead, their faces turned even grimmer. The blood flowing from the Giant Flame Beast's broken leg emitted high temperatures like lava, igniting the vegetation upon contact with the ground, and this blood was flowing toward Yu'an City. The most distressing fact was that the blood didn't congeal at all; if it were to enter the city, who knew what could happen. The fallen Giant Flame Beast was still constantly howling, trying hard to get up, but missing a leg made standing up a formidable task, leaving it only to continue roaring in anger at the sky.
Now a problem loomed before Shu and El: should they kill the Giant Flame Beast or not? If not, the beast would eventually stand up, bringing devastation to the surrounding creatures. If they killed it, how would they handle its blood, which, like lava, couldn't be contained by anything?
"Quickly get in touch with those in the city, have them dig a large pit outside the city, or prepare to deal with the consequences," Shu suggested in urgency to temporarily keep the Giant Flame Beast's blood outside the city.
"You go, I'll keep an eye on this creature here," said El with a wave of his spear, unleashing an unmatched imposing presence. Now, the beast didn't need to be restrained, but merely watched.
Without more words, Shu flew into the city as soon as the tasks were divided. They weren't far from Yu'an City, and with full force flying, he reached Yu'an City's sky in just a few breaths. Upon entering the city, Shu saw chaos with human and beast corpses mingled together, blood covering half the city, congealed on the ground forming a layer of red scabs. Meanwhile, the city's inhabitants were frantically fleeing toward the city gates, none wanted to die, so everyone was scrambling to escape, frantic screams echoed from the crowd, the only ones standing still were Babu and a few others.
Seeing the chaos within the city, Shu frowned slightly, not expecting the situation to be like this. Finding help didn't seem easy.
Taking a deep breath, Shu mobilized the Wind Force within, opened his mouth and shouted: "Listen up, everyone in the city, all Superpower Users gather outside the city immediately. The Giant Flame Beast has been severely injured, if you don't want to die, come out and help now."
Shu shouted with all his might, his voice overtaking all the screams from the ground. The voice wave containing a hint of Wind Force attacked directly into people's ears. After hearing a buzzing in their ears, people raised their heads to see Shu suspended in mid-air. Some on the walls recognized Shu immediately, and those with nimble minds quickly realized the Giant Flame Beast might've been killed, stabilizing their previously panicked minds.
Shu's voice continued to echo through Yu'an City, while Superpower Users were fine, ordinary people couldn't stand the repeated sound, holding their ears in pain.
That middle-aged man heard Shu's words, immediately emerged from the crowd, raised his head asking Shu, "What do you need us to do?" For some reason, the middle-aged man believed this young man in front of him was trustworthy, which is why he asked.
"Follow me," Shu didn't explain, nor could he, because every second delayed meant the lava-like blood got closer to Yu'an City, and he didn't want to see a perfectly fine city reduced to ashes.
Seeing Shu fly towards the city gates again, the middle-aged man shouted, "All Superpower Users follow me outside. Quickly." Then he rushed up the city walls and leaped outside with effort.
Immediately after leaving the city, the scene outside shocked the middle-aged man. The raging flames kept advancing towards Yu'an City, and slightly further away the Giant Flame Beast lay roaring angrily, persistently struggling to get up. Without a leg, the Giant Flame Beast couldn't maintain body balance, let alone stand.
Under the middle-aged man's lead, the city's Superpower Users soon rushed out. Upon seeing the scene outside, they too were shocked, the situation was indeed shocking and terrifying.
"Immediately dig a large pit outside the city to surround Yu'an City. Don't let that blood flow into the city," Shu urgently shouted as soon as he saw the crowd of Superpower Users rush out.
With Shu's words, the Superpower Users finally saw the lava-like blood slowly flowing across the ground, their faces changed. However, with quick organization from the middle-aged man, they began digging a pit outside the city.
