Chapter 75: Chapter 67: Want to Live? Run Fast!

The Bear Demon let out a heaven-piercing and earth-shattering roar. The roar was filled with pain, rage, sorrow, madness, and fear that made everyone present involuntarily tighten their legs.

It was indeed the most shameless, most despicable vital hit! Ning Xiaoxian immediately felt a chill.

This whistle always seemed to be such an honest and kind middle-aged uncle, but it unexpectedly struck such a tricky blow. Moreover, seeing how skilled he was and how quickly he fled, this was certainly not his first time doing something like this!

Even Changtian had to admit, this was truly a talent! Earth Armor covered the entire body of the Bear Demon, and this was the easiest and most effective move—after all, Earth Armor can’t possibly cover every part of the master’s rear end, right?

The Bear Demon struck back with its paw, naturally catching only air, as the whistle had already run far away. While it was in pain rolling on the ground, Deng Hao commanded the others: "Release the nets!"

The clerks had already climbed the surrounding big trees, just waiting for the signal from the leader below.

With Deng Hao’s shout, a large net cascaded down from the sky, trapping the Bear Demon within. This net was woven from various materials including patterned spider silk, human hair, Metal Wire, and dried Demon Bull Tendon, and each twist was drenched in tung oil and Whale Oil, creating something light and sturdy, yet with excellent flexibility, making it difficult for the creature trapped in the center to escape.

The Bear Demon roared furiously, its two front paws trapped, unable to break free for the moment.

However, Deng Hao never expected to catch it with just the net; all he needed was a few seconds gained in the nick of time. He unsheathed the sword of a clerk beside him, leaped over the head of the demon bear, and lightly delivered a thrust with both swords, blinding its eyes—a clean stab in, a bloody one out!

The Bear Demon’s eyes immediately spilled tears of blood. Struck by such a heavy blow, it howled in pain, and with all its might, it actually broke free from the confinement of the net and charged out!

This direction was right towards where Ning Xiaoxian and others were, luckily, a small tree in the middle blocked the way. The utterly crazed Bear Demon struck down, and with a "crack" sound, the tree snapped in half at its waist. That slight delay allowed the men to re-engage in the battle with the Bear Demon.

No one at the front noticed that after the Bear Demon broke the small tree, a small splinter of wood flew from the break towards the visitors, aimed straight for the throat of one of the merchants!

With the immense strength of the Bear Demon, the splinter naturally flew very fast, and if it arrived at its destination, the chubby merchant would have to endure the pain of a sharp needle piercing his throat.

Ning Xiaoxian was standing right next to him, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a white flash shooting towards them. Without thinking, she pushed the fat man to the side.

A faint thud was heard as the small piece of wood hit the tree behind her and ricocheted far away.

The merchant was suddenly pushed by her and staggered outward, and as he was amidst confusion, Mr. Yan suddenly said, "Miss Ning just saved your life. Otherwise, that splinter would have gone through your throat. You should thank her."

Mr. Yan had a good reputation among the merchant team, and the chubby man also realized that she indeed saved his life. He hurriedly bowed in thanks to her. She quickly returned the gesture, but her ears caught Changtian’s light snort: "Meddler!" yet there was no blame in it.

Mr. Yan smiled as well, praising, "Miss Ning, your reactions are truly nimble. Today I saw you come down from the carriage, and your steps are much lighter than before."

She was not pretentious, and honestly replied: "Thank you!" Since even Changtian had said this man was extraordinary, what was so surprising about Mr. Yan seeing through her own little bit of kung fu? A trace of pride involuntarily rose in her heart; her efforts over the past twenty or so days had borne fruit, and her progress was indeed astonishing!

At this moment, the battle at the front was also coming to an end. The Bear Demon was originally limping on its right foot, had been wounded in the forearm and ribs, suffered the ruthless weak point fatal blow from the whistle, and finally, Deng Hao had blinded its eyes... No matter how valiant it was, nor how strong its Life Force, it was ultimately nearing its end.

As the saying goes, a wall falls with a push from everyone, a broken drum receives a pounding from thousands. Once it showed signs of defeat, its downfall was just a matter of time. In less than 15 minutes, the Bear Demon was literally worn down by everyone, it collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Victory at last! Watching this massive creature fall, everyone was panting heavily, truly wanting to sit down and rest for a while.
