11- The end of the hyena's tide

Suddenly, around ten figures flew out of the village and rushed against the hyena tide, charging towards the Shadow Crown Hyena.

They were all elders (including Liu Liu and Liu Wang) and in front of them was the clan leader Liu Chen!

If one wants to fight against the shadow crown hyena, one must strike first. Its strength is just too great, and if it was let into the village, it would definitely cause great losses and damage.

This group's capabilities were huge. With the Rank four clan leader Liu Chen as the leader, and his elders as his support, they were a strong attacking force.

The hyena tide was surging violently, yet they went against it with careful and compact cooperation. As if the group was a warship, splitting the waves apart, advancing bravely forward.

Wherever they went, they were practically sweeping everything away in their path!

The closer they got to the shadow crown hyena, the more the pressure coming from the hyena tide increased.

Liu Chen was calm and composed. Suddenly he stretched out his right palm, and slashed in front of him.

Swoosh!

A golden coloured qi-blade, as big as a grown adult, formed in a split second and flew out towards the front.

Swooosh swoosh swoooosh!

After flying out for a few meters, this Qi disk suddenly went through a change, and from one blade it turned into three.

Three qi-blades flew alongside each other, bringing about the sound of the wind whistling as it plowed open three bloody paths like knives cutting meat apart.

Many hyenas fell without exception. Broken limbs flew into the air, and blood-curdling cries sounded non-stop.

A frenzy shadow hyena roared and started rushing over fiercely towards the Gu Masters from the right side.

"Let me!" One of the clan elders took a deep breath. A clan elder suddenly went from a thin and dry appearance, turning into a huge fat man in one breath.

The frenzy shadow hyena had come in a torrential rush, and the greater the strength of collision the stronger the bounce back was. It was thrown across high into the air, cutting an arc and then finally falling down hundreds of meters away.

The other elders were displaying all sorts of abilities.

There were some with long hair like needles, continuously shooting out and sweeping away shadow hyenas.

Some of them had their bodies covered in light armor, forcefully bearing through the hyenas' tearing and biting.

The shadow crown hyena went from a half-sitting state, and slowly got onto its feet. It firmly stared at the Gu Masters rushing towards itself, and the hyena's dark eyes flashed with warning.

It opened its mouth and let out a low roar, revealing its sharp and jagged hyena fangs.

Each of the frenzy shadow hyenas and bold shadow hyenas that heard its roar immediately got up and rushed towards the Gu Masters.

The Gu Masters were instantly slowed in their charge, receiving great obstruction.

"Clan leader!"

"I'll leave it to all of you, clan elders!"

"You have to win…"

Numerous eyes flashed and gathered on them. Unknown number of rallying cries and shouts sounded from the the depths of the clansmen's hearts.

This was the most crucial battle.

If they lose the battle, the entire clan would face the danger of being wiped out. If victory was assured, then they would have held against the hardest moment of the hyena tide.

This was the battle that would decide the life and death of the Liu clan!

None of the elders backed off. They pushed forward, while drenched in blood. Even though they did not lose any numbers, none of them were spared from injury.

They eliminated all the obstacles around them, until they faced the shadow crown hyena, then charged towards it.

Therapy Light Gu.

Suddenly a middle-aged female clan elder stretched out both her hands, and a pure white, warm light bubbled forth. The light first flowed onto the clan leader's body, and then reflected onto each of the other clan elders.

This was a Rank three healing Gu with area-of-effect properties, and it could instantly cause the wounds on Gu Masters to stop bleeding. Light wounds would be recovered completely, while heavy wounds would be healed by half.

"Continue fighting!" Liu Chen roared loudly.

Five clan elders swiped their arms as they heard the signal, and sent a qi-blade flying towards the sky.

Suddenly a clan elder roared as all the muscles on his body erupted and expanded three times, becoming a white fur giant ape.

It jumped in front of the group, its hands joined together.

Liu Chen stepped onto its two hands, and with a low roar, the ape kicked from the ground and stretched out its waist, using all the strength in its body to toss Liu Chen into the sky.

Qi-invite Gu.

Liu Chen spread out his left hand; it was giving out a hazy, whirlpool-like purple qi light.

The qi blades that the clan elders had shot towards the sky were all absorbed and annexed by this purple qi light.

"SLASH!"

Liu Chen's eyes shone as he shouted in a thunderous volume, splitting the air with his palms from up to down.

Pew!

Winds and thunder resounded as a purple qi blade, larger than a horse carriage, flew towards the shadow crown hyena.

This qi blade looked slow but was actually fast, and in a split second, it struck its target.

The shadow crown hyena howled and at the last moment, a dark armor appeared on its body.

Bam!

In the next moment, an intense explosion occurred as the sky was engulfed in eerie dark lightning pitting against the purple alluring qi light.

Numerous people squinted as the shockwaves spread from the impact, sending the ordinary shadow hyena in the vicinity flying.

When the intense light dissipated, the Gu Masters were already engaging in battle with the shadow crown hyena.

The clan elders were all extremely experienced and well coordinated with each other.

An aged old master with floating white hair shot out needles from it endlessly like rain.

On another side, a female Gu Master blew out flames from her nostrils like lingering snakes, and she spouted a wave of orange flame and assaulted two sides at the same time.

There were another three Gu Masters - one turned into a white ape, while another turned his muscles into steel from head to toe as they both tried to curb the shadow crown hyena. The other Gu Master tossed out unending numbers of Puppet Gu, pouring his primeval essence and turning them into vine armoured grass soldiers or wooden servants with red spears, using them as fodder to attract the incoming assault.

Healing Gu Masters stood at the outer circle, using Therapy Light Gu from time to time. Beside them were defensive Gu Masters, giving them care and protection.

Liu Liu protected Liu Wang as he used the killer move.

Liu Wang used his killer move: Dozens Blades of Illusion Qi. Dozens of huge blades shot out of the air towards the shadow crown hyena.

The shadow crown hyena had been beaten badly. Its right front limb had a huge wound, the blood flowing non-stop. This was the outcome from the attack of the purple Qi blade a moment ago.

It roared continuously as it had fallen into the Gu Master's well planned trap. Even if it had the spirits to fight back, there was not much it could do.

The Gu Masters weaved and jumped around it like fleas on a cat or dog. They continued to move around and pulled space as they worked with completely chemistry.

But the good situation did not last, for the shadow crown hyena slowly began to adapt, while the wound on its body did not stop healing.

It was clear that it had a healing Gu on its body. This was very bad news.

The healing Gu's existence would mean that this is a war of attrition.

Wild Gu could just use the natural essence straight from the air, while Gu Masters could only use primeval essence from their own apertures.

After the battle reached fifteen minutes later, the shadow crown hyena suddenly howled towards the sky, and a torrent of dark lightning flashes enveloped its whole body, while its speed sharply increased onefold.

The elder who had turned into a white ape could not dodge in time. Unable to react to this change, he was bitten by the shadow crown hyena and his skull was torn into two by the hyena's tugging.

The shadow crown hyena had torn a line in the battlefront, and with continuous swipes of its tail, purplish dark electric currents rushed forth; the Gu Masters could only back away non-stop.

In this dangerous moment, the clan leader Liu Chen stood out.

He was a Rank four expert with powerful attacks and superior defense, like the center pillar of the group, using all his strength to salvage the situation.

Mountain rocks broke and shadows dissipated as group battles enlarged. The aftermath ravaged the battlefield, and not a single shadow hyena dared to enter battle.

The situation of the battlefield only became more desperate. The shadow crown hyena's injuries became heavier and worse, the bleeding unable to stop, and bones could be seen in the deeper wounds. At the same time, the Gu Masters also suffered heavy losses — so far they had already lost six clan elders And Liu Wang was seriously injured and nearly died due to his failure to use the killer move, But Liu Liu was able to save him by using the killer move: Nine Leaf Vitality Saves a Life. If not for the village's clan elders' immediate and urgent dispatch, coming in to aid the fight, the battle might have long collapsed.

"Everyone, stand strong, holding is the key to victory!" Liu Chen killed until his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse as he gave his all to arouse morale.

But at this moment, the shadow crown hyena suddenly went berserk, and its body was enshrouded in a layer of bright red light.

Rank four Berserk Gu!

The shadow crown hyena's strength, speed, agility and other attributes suddenly rose to twice the original base.

Boom!

There was a loud noise as it swiped its right claw, turning Liu Wang into complete meat mush.

With a flick of its tail, the sound of wind erupted and an electrical net flew out, trapping a field of grass and wooden puppets, then burning it all into charcoal.

"I can't keep up, my puppets are already used up!" The elder cried out, frightened.

With the situation rapidly changing for the worse, the terror of the myriad beast king was fully unleashed, leaving everyone in despair.

Liu Chen's eyebrows were locked tight, and it seemed like he was about to break his teeth from gritting, When he looked at his son-in-law, who had turned into mashed meat, great anger flared up inside him.

Liu Chen calmed his anger and then spoke to his daughter softly, "Little Liu, use that killer move."

As the clan elders heard this, they were awed in their hearts.

Early during the start of the hyena tide, they had already displayed countless of battle tactics; this was a method that must only be used when there was no other choice!

When Liu Liu heard her father's words, tears streamed profusely from her eyes, but she listened to her father and started preparing the killer move because they had no other choice.

The shadow crown hyena noticed their movements and sensed the danger so it tried to attack Liu Liu.

"Wind Snare Gu!" An elder cried out, and from his nostrils came a green breeze, wrapping around the shadow crown hyena's claws.

"Swamp Gu!" Another elder roared and crouched down, bringing his two hands down and slamming on the ground. Instantly, the earth below the shadow crown hyena turned into mud.

With these simultaneous attacks, the shadow crown hyena's movements were slowed at that moment.

"killer move: Iron Chain Vines."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Liu stretched out her hands, and from their sleeves, waves of black shadows shot out.

The black shadow was about the size of a fist, and each length was around twenty meters long. On close inspection, one would see that each black shadow was a Vine.

This Vine was shaped like an iron chain, its whole body a gloomy black. Coils of metal rings were strung and connected together.

As it flew out, the Vines wriggled on the ground, quickly climbing onto the shadow crown hyena's body.

Their heads and tails then connected and mutually fit together, forming a metal net in the blink of an eye, taking root from the ground and trapping the shadow crown hyena on the spot.

But this situation was only temporary, for as the shadow crown hyena struggled continuously, one by one, the iron chains would break off. In just half a minute to a minute, these metallic Vines would completely disintegrate away, no longer trapping the shadow crown hyena.

Clan leader Liu Chen jumped up to the shadow crown hyena and stood on its head, and after half a minute the shadow crown hyena was able to break free from the iron chains and attacked the clan leader with its claw.

Liu Chen smiled, "You are too late."

"life Qi sacrifice Gu." A large amount of golden Qi was gathered on Liu Chen's palm and then he placed his palm on the hyena's head, during an instant the golden Qi spread all over the shadow crown hyena's body.

After a while the golden Qi disappeared and Liu Chen and the shadow crown hyena both fell to the ground, all signs of life leaving them.

Despite his death, Liu Chen carried signs of relief and a small smile appeared on his lips. His life was coming to an end anyway, the best way was to sacrifice his remaining life to save the clan.

Shadow hyenas began to disperse after the death of their leader.

Finally the hyena tide ended.

... .... ... ... ... ... ...

At the same time, inside the village in one of the buildings.

There were two children of five years old, one shivering in fear and the other looking coldly at the shadow hyena standing in front of him.
