The tunnel could not withstand the pressure. The creature’s head smashed through the ceiling.

The tunnel was ran through a mountain. As the Black Goat General kept growing, the mountain began to shake, and huge rocks began to tumble down from it. Half the mountain collapsed, together with the tunnel!

“Damn it, it’s still growing?” Mo Fan stared at the Black Goat General. He could not help but wonder what kind of monster it was.

The Shepherd was obviously a Summoner, and his Summoned Beast was extremely unique. Mo Fan had no clue how to deal with it. He could only watch it keep growing…

On the other side of the mountain, rocks and soil crumbled as the tunnel began to collapse. The front half of the bus was still moving down the road.

As the mountain shook, the bridge connecting the mountain outside the tunnel began to collapse. Zhao Manyan was standing on the roof of the bus. He yelled at the driver when he saw the bus was still picking up speed, “Stop, stop outside the tunnel, don’t go onto the bridge!”

Zhao Manyan’s shout was ineffective. It seemed the driver was determined to take every passenger with him to death, as he stepped hard on the gas. The bus raced out onto the bridge, which was already crumbling!

The bridge was built between two mountains, held in place by supports rising from the narrow valley below. A few of the supports had already collapsed when the mountain rocked behind them!

The bridge began to collapse in front of them after the supports broke. It was like the bridge was diving straight down. The passengers on the bus were terrified. Some immediately fainted, while the ones that were still conscious were screaming at the top of their lungs.

“Damn it, the driver is being controlled. The Extraditor is still trying to kill everyone on the bus!” Zhao Manyan jumped back into the bus after he realized something was not right.

He glanced at the driver before knocking him out with a single punch.

The bus shook and occasionally slammed into the barriers on the sides of the bridge. It almost went over the side a few times. To make things even worse, the middle wheels began to fall off under the vibrations. The bus started to skid as it slowed down, but it was moving too quickly. It continued its descent into the canyon below!

Zhao Manyan hopped into the driver’s seat and grabbed the wheel. “Hold on tight!” he yelled at the passengers.

The color of his pupils shifted. A brown light glowed in them as he activated the Eyes of the Rock Demon!

Zhao Manyan gained control of the crumbling stone. He swiftly gathered them to where the bridge had broken. The bus hurtled into the gap, but a bridge made of rocks had formed a path for it!

The bus continued forward onto the bridge that Zhao Manyan had built with the Eyes of the Rock Demon. The stones behind them collapsed completely, while the bridge kept extending forward in front of them. It felt like the bus was riding on air!

With a massive bump, the bus landed on the other half of the bridge. The road there was still intact. Zhao Manyan set up a Water Curtain about the bus, preventing it from ramming into the mountain wall!

“Phew~! Such a close call!” Zhao Manyan had full control of the bus now, and let out a relieved sigh.

He had never dared to fly across bridge-gaps in his sports car, but now he had experienced it first hand while driving a bus!

He turned around and saw most of the passengers were unharmed, apart from a few bumps. No one had been flung from the bus, either.

“Consider yourself lucky, to bump into me, Zhao Xiaotian!” Zhao Manyan smiled.

The passengers were troubled by nausea, and some even vomited. They were just ordinary people. It was too terrifying an experience to be flying across the valley just now.

As Zhao Manyan was treating the injured, a huge explosion came from the tunnel. The passengers had yet to recover when they saw the mountain collapsing behind them. As it was happening, an enormous figure stood up from within, rocks and boulders rolling off its body!

Zhao Manyan whirled around and stared in astonishment!

He initially thought the mountain had collapsed because of Mo Fan’s destructive magic, but it turned out the mountain had collapsed because that enormous creature kept on growing!

“Get on your feet and run!” Zhao Manyan did not dare let the passengers rest. He quickly used Earth Wave to send the people on ahead.

The creature was just too huge! Humans were like mere insects to it. Even the vehicles on the highway were like toys to it. It could easily smash them flat with a slap!

Huge deafening impacts continued. The ridges nearby were starting to collapse now!

Zhao Manyan saw the goat-horned monster was holding two steel hammers. It smashed the hammer down at a hillside, and almost broke it to pieces.

Zhao Manyan noticed a black figure hopping nimbly between the falling rocks. He was using the rocks as stepping stones…

The figure reached the area where the bridge had collapsed. The monster swung its hammer down at the same time. Zhao Manyan was aghast; he thought Mo Fan was about to turn into a meat patty, and then Mo Fan suddenly showed up beside him after a silver light flickered beneath the descending hammer. He still had a faint silver glow about him!

“What the heck is that!?” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

“How do I f**king know?! Let’s find a place to hide!” Mo Fan had almost been buried under the mountain!

Mo Fan thought the Black Goat General would only grow a few times bigger, to a maximum height of forty meters. He had fought against huge creatures before. To his surprise, the creature just kept growing. It even destroyed the tunnel, and the mountain above! The four-lane highway was barely big enough to fit its hoof. A little stomp had destroyed more than two kilometers of the road!

Luckily, Qi Yang had stopped other vehicles from entering this stretch of road. Otherwise, a lot more people would have died!

The Shepherd was out of his mind, causing such destruction on purpose, as if he simply wanted to create chaos. Only members of the Black Vatican who were confident in their strength would dare to blatantly cause so much destruction. The Enforcement Union was not just mere decoration!

However, the Shepherd did indeed treat the Enforcement Union as just air. He had no respect for them whatsoever!

“Where are they?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“They ran away. Let’s take this monster out first. Otherwise, everyone on the highway is going to die!” Mo Fan said.

“You say it like it’s easy! A small creature isn’t necessarily weak, but a huge creature is always strong. It can knock us to the other side of the mountain with a sneeze!” Zhao Manyan complained.

“Cut the crap, and lure it away from the highway with me. We’ll take it out in the basin there!” Mo Fan pointed.

—

They tried luring the creature to somewhere favorable for them to fight, but the Black Goat General seemed intelligent, and was reluctant to leave the highway. It started destroying the hillsides as soon as Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan tried to leave.

They were left with no choice. They had to fight the Black Goat General here!

A swing of a hammer brought down the second half of the bridge. Zhao Manyan failed to find himself a foothold. He fell into the stream, together with the bridge, rocks covering him…

Zhao Manyan activated his Magic Wings as he almost reached the bottom, and came to a stop in midair. However, more concrete, debris, and rocks collapsed on him, and he still ended up being buried in the waters below!

“Damn it, how useless is he!?” Mo Fan cursed when he saw Zhao Manyan buried under the debris.

Mo Fan raised his head almost ninety degrees. He was shocked to see the Black Goat General opening its mouth again. It was trying to unleash the sonic wave again!

The sonic wave had created a great disturbance in his mind when the creature was only a few meters tall. Mo Fan bet the sonic wave at its current height would make him explode!

“Sky Lightning Claw!”

Mo Fan didn’t allow the creature to have its way. He clenched his hands into claws, lightning flickering around them. A stormy cloud quickly gathered above the Black Goat General, and a dark Sky Lightning Claw swept down when the Black Goat General opened its mouth.

The Black Goat General did not dare eat the lightning. It quickly closed its mouth and raised a giant hammer to resist Mo Fan’s Sky Lightning Claw.

The lightning attached to the hammer instead of dissipating. The intelligent Black Goat General swung the hammer, firing a shocking lightning bolt in Mo Fan’s direction!

Mo Fan was dumbfounded. The creature had used the hammer to absorb his lightning!?

Mo Fan dodged the hammer, but the black sparks and the lightning were right on his trail. Mo Fan had no choice but to bring out his Black Snake Armor.

The Black Snake Armor was not that effective against the lightning. The black sparks the hammer produced were shockingly powerful, too! The Black Snake Armor was severely damaged even though Mo Fan had just put it on. Great pain surged across his body as he spat a mouthful of blood out.

“Little Flame Belle!”

Mo Fan knew he did not stand a chance against the enormous creature. He immediately Summoned Little Flame Belle.

Little Flame Belle was at the Advanced Commander-level. Her body was engulfed in two different kinds of flames. As her flames sprang into the sky, a glamorous sorceress with elegant long hair appeared!

Flame Belle was enraged when she saw Mo Fan was injured, and let out a cry into the sky. The flames swiftly dyed the blue sky red and scattered across it, forming a spectacular blazing diagram above the Black Goat General!
