Chapter 759 - 720: The Abominable Face
When the crowd saw a gigantic scorpion magical beast crawl out from under a bulldozer, everyone gasped.
"Holy cow! I can’t believe the town leader was actually a magical beast disguised as a human..." one person cried out.
"This is horrifying... too terrifying... If this magical beast had remained in our town disguised as a human, we would have all been doomed..." another added.
"Fortunately, these five youths came just in time. They not only defeated the leader but also exposed his despicable true form as a magical beast."
However, before the crowd could finish speaking, the magical beast that the leader had transformed into began to laugh maniacally. "You humans are incredibly foolish," it sneered. "I’ve been lurking in your town for over twenty years, disguised as a human, and you only just discovered my true identity. But it’s just as well. Now that I’ve revealed my true form, I will slaughter every last one of you. There will be no survivors."
With that, the scorpion magical beast instantly killed several nearby bystanders.
When the surrounding people saw the beast start killing, they screamed in terror and fled frantically. "Oh my God! Those five youths defeated the leader, but they might not be able to defeat this beast!" someone shouted. "Let’s run! If we stay, we’ll die for sure!"
When Zhao Rong saw the crowd running wildly and starting to cause a stampede, he immediately stepped forward to calm the panicked people. "Everyone, do not be afraid!" he declared. "Don’t worry about how terrifying this creature looks. I, Zhao Rong, give you my word: I will kill this magical beast in less than five minutes and restore safety to this town."
Despite Zhao Rong’s reassurance, the townspeople couldn’t help but compare his slender frame to the gigantic magical beast. They continued to flee and scream in terror. "Young man, you may have the courage to challenge this beast, but you’re too frail! How can you possibly be a match for something so enormous?"
When the three women and the assistant saw that the bystanders didn’t trust Zhao Rong, they became furious. "You onlookers! How can you not trust our Brother Zhao Rong?" they shouted. "Let me tell you, our Brother Zhao Rong is a master who has traveled the world, overcoming every obstacle he has faced. Terrifying demons, powerful aliens—they are all trash before him! Just you wait and see! Brother Zhao Rong will dispose of this insignificant beast in no time!"
Lili encouraged him, saying, "Go for it, Brother Zhao Rong! I know you can easily eliminate this beast within five minutes!"
Yu Lan, filled with hope, added, "Brother Zhao Rong, forget one magical beast! Ten, a hundred, even a thousand of them would be nothing to you! You’ll crush them all with ease and restore peace to this town, allowing everyone to live and work in safety!"
Xuelian looked at the beast not far away and warned it, "Town Leader, even though you’ve turned into a magical beast, you’re still pathetically weak compared to the mighty Brother Zhao Rong. I can promise you this: the moment Brother Zhao Rong draws the Dharma Sword, your life is over."
The assistant even stepped forward to mock the enormous creature. "You pathetic beast, you’re unlucky to have run into Brother Zhao Rong today. Prepare to lose your head!"
Hearing their warnings and mockery, the magical beast said dismissively, "I’m the boss in this town! Whether you’re a resident or an outsider, no one escapes my poisonous sting!"
With that, the massive scorpion beast fired off dozens of poisonous needles from its tail, killing some of the fleeing bystanders.
When Zhao Rong saw the scorpion beast slaughtering innocents, he immediately drew the Dharma Sword from his Magic Ring, leaped toward the beast, and shouted, "Die, you moronic beast!"
When the scorpion magical beast saw Zhao Rong charging at it with the Dharma Sword, it whipped its tail and fired thousands of poisonous needles, which flew toward Zhao Rong like a shower of blades.
Seeing thousands of poison needles shooting toward Zhao Rong, the three women and the assistant cried out in alarm. "Brother Zhao Rong, be careful! Those thousands of poison needles are no joke! If even one of them hits you, the poison could kill you!"
Lili immediately grabbed a canvas from nearby and threw it toward Zhao Rong in the air. "Brother Zhao Rong, catch this canvas! Use it as a shield against those thousands of poison needles! As long as you have this to block them, you’ll be fine!"
Yu Lan rushed to an umbrella stand, grabbed over a thousand umbrellas, opened them, and hurled them at Zhao Rong. "Brother Zhao Rong, open all of these umbrellas at once! Not only can they shield you from wind and rain, but they’ll also protect you from these poison needles!"
Xuelian grabbed a dozen cutting boards from a nearby stall and threw them at the airborne Zhao Rong. "Brother Zhao Rong, catch these cutting boards! They’re normally for chopping vegetables, but they’re made of pinewood. In a pinch, they can block not only these poison needles but also spears and even bullets from an AK-47! So, make sure you use them well!"
The assistant found several bags nearby, filled them with sand, and threw them to Zhao Rong. "Brother Zhao Rong, you have to catch these sandbags! In battle, sandbags can block bullets and even missiles, so you have to make good use of them! That way, you definitely won’t get hurt. I’m worried there might be bullets hidden inside those poison needles—it’s terrifying!"
But before the assistant could finish speaking, Zhao Rong snatched a package from mid-air. He smiled at the three women and his assistant. "Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, don’t worry," he said. "I’ve already bought a very effective bulletproof device from the Paradise Shopping Cart. You’ll be amazed when I open this package."
