Chapter 2496: The Land of Despair_1

Upon seeing this, Di Tian and the others roared furiously, "My Lord!!"

At that moment, they no longer suppressed their true forms and stimulated the bloodline within their bodies...

In an instant, all of them transformed into the ferocious beasts that once dominated the Aquipeia Forest, their power fully unleashed...

They then, united, launched an attack on the Abyssal Emperor...

Gu Yuena was the most important person in their eyes, and they absolutely could not let her die!!

Facing the terrifying assault, the Abyssal Emperor said indifferently, "Oh? Finally showing your true selves? You ferocious beasts should be thoroughly exterminated!"

Although he thought that ferocious beasts were very similar to abyssal creatures, that was all!

Having said that, he tossed Gu Yuena aside, recalled the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss and struck fiercely at the air in front of him...

Though he apparently didn't touch anything, just cutting through the air, the power emitted still created a gust of wind that blew the ferocious beasts hundreds of meters away, smashing them violently into the ground...

The ferocious beasts shook their heads, struggled out of the pits, and once more, charged with overwhelming murderous intent...

Having recovered her senses from the suffocation, Gu Yuena witnessed them charging again at the Abyssal Emperor and immediately intervened, "Di Tian, you can't defeat him, retreat quickly!!"

But clearly, it was already too late!

The Abyssal Emperor released countless strands of death-filled Black Mist that shot out like chains, circling the bodies of these beasts and then forcibly penetrating inside them...

In a flash, they lay on the ground like submissive pets, unable, despite their frantic struggling, to move even a few meters!

Bi Ji furiously exclaimed, "What is this thing that has severed the connection between the brain and the nerves, rendering us utterly incapable of controlling our bodies!"

Di Tian's golden pupils also revealed reluctance, but he responded, "I can't break free either, the gap in strength between us is too great!"

"Damn it! Despicable Abyssal Emperor, if you have the guts, let me go and see how your ferocious beast grandpa will crush your head with a punch!"

"That's right, once we break free, we'll definitely twist off your head!!"

The Abyssal Emperor wasn't annoyed, merely glanced at them, and sneered, "I won't kill you. When I've completely devoured the Human Plane, you will be my mounts!"

These ferocious beasts, it would be too much of a pity if they died; they might as well serve him!

He then turned his gaze to the people surrounding the severely injured Tang Wulin...

His voice, devoid of any emotion, claimed, "As for you, I'll kill you all!"

Elder Ya'li, sensing danger, pointed the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear at the previous speaker and then said to Tang Wulin and the others, "Kids, leave this place quickly, I'll hold off the Abyssal Emperor!"

This all too familiar sentence immediately sparked rejection from everyone...

Yuanen Yehui said coldly, "No, we live together, we die together; how can we shrink back here!"

Xie Xie too prepared for battle. "You're right, we appreciate Elder Ya'li's kindness, but if we keep running away, we'll dishonor the name of the Shrek Seven Monsters!"

Yue Zhengyu pronounced each word, "I haven't avenged my grandfather yet; how can I possibly leave just like this!"

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips, "Elder Ya'li, there's no need to talk about running away, we have made up our minds!"

Tang Wulin too wiped the blood off his cheeks and forced a smile, "Yes, let us from Shrek Academy, face this together today!"

He knew this sentence all too well!

If Elder Ya'li held off the Abyssal Emperor for them, there would only be a dead end!

It would be better to fight against him!

Elder Ya'li paused for a moment, seemingly grasping everyone's determination, and said earnestly, "Good, you are truly the best students of Shrek Academy. If you can all survive and return, then you will be the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion!"

Although it may not have been the best time to say this, it was at least a consolation!

```

Just then, Lan Muzi's voice suddenly rang out, "Since we're talking about Shrek Academy, we are here too!"

The arrivals were Tang Yinmeng and her group, who had already recovered!

Having sensed that something bad was about to happen, they had come at the first opportunity...

Elder Ya'li opened her mouth and said with a complex expression, "So everyone is here..."

This also meant that if this battle were lost, there would be no Shrek Academy ever again!

Cai Yue'er, however, gave a relieved smile, "Ya'li, there's no need to think too much. Elder Long and the others all sacrificed themselves for the fight. We, as elders, are willing to fight to our last breath without losing face!"

"As for Shrek Academy, if we're lucky, it might still survive!"

"Elder Cai, I understand. Everyone, let's get ready to fight!"

Gu Yuena watched the members of Shrek Academy and the others, all sharing the same enemy, with inevitable mixed feelings...

If she hadn't joined the Spirit Pagoda or taken on the position of Pagoda Master, maybe she would have been one of them?

Tang Wulin glanced sideways and immediately noticed her discomfiture, reaching out his hand and inviting, "Gu Yue, what are you waiting for?"

Gu Yuena opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, "I..."

As if seeing through her thoughts, Wu Changkong said indifferently, "Gu Yue, although Shrek Academy expelled you as a student, all of us elders have always considered you a part of the academy!"

Tang Yinmeng blinked her Beautiful Eyes and added, "Yeah! I've been protesting that decision to expel you from the start, although it didn't make much difference!"

Lan Muzi said solemnly, "In the end, it was because you took the position as the Spirit Pagoda's master too far. Otherwise, Elder Long wouldn't have been so angry!"

Cai Yue'er nodded, "Even though I have my complaints about you, at this time, it's useless to talk about such things!"

"Child, come over here!"

Gu Yuena's heart trembled, then she stepped forward to join them...

"Elders, thank you all!"

Then, together, they all turned their gazes towards the Abyssal Emperor...

Ready to fight at any moment...

The Abyssal Emperor took a step forward and declared loudly, "Such a touching scene, but it's the weak who huddle together for warmth. Destruction is the ultimate fate of your mankind!"

...

Blacksmith Association!

Zhen Hua patted his chest, his aged cheeks wrinkling up, "Why do I have this ominous premonition, as if something is about to happen!"

Seeing this, a fellow Blacksmith Association member asked, "President, are you worried about whether the defense line can hold against the Abyssal Creature Army?"

Zhen Hua nodded, not denying, "Yes, once the defense line is breached, the entire Soul Land will fall into calamity!"

Of course, what he was even more worried about was Gu Yuena. He knew nothing of what she might be doing at that moment!

Had she also gone to the defense line to face the enemy?

The Blacksmith Association member hesitated, "Shouldn't be, right? This defense line seems to have gathered most of the strong fighters!"

Zhen Hua said with emotion, "Life is unpredictable, anything can happen, just in case, let's try to sell as much of the Battle Armor and other forged items we've made recently."
