I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2321 Counterattack
"I'll hold him off, and you two take the opportunity to kill Liu Jun," Yu Qiushui said in a deep voice, her eyes revealing a hint of determination.

Immediately, he pulled a bottle of red liquid from his pocket and drank it without hesitation. The liquid was the color of fresh blood, sending chills down one's spine.

Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng watched Yu Qiushui's actions, hesitant to speak. They naturally knew what Yu Qiushui had drunk—it was a forbidden potion used by the Heavenly Lord's Temple to forcibly enhance strength.

While this potion can greatly increase a person's strength in a short period, the price is extremely high. After the effects wear off, the user's cultivation level will drop by two or more levels. This potion is usually only used on those fearless assassins.

By drinking the potion, Yu Qiushui was undoubtedly gambling with his life. In the perilous Burial God Valley, having fallen two realms, it was almost impossible for him to leave alive. However, faced with his current predicament, he seemed to have no better choice.

Cat Brother was no ordinary cat; it immediately saw through Yu Qiushui's intentions. Without hesitation, it struck first, striking Yu Qiushui like a black lightning bolt. At the same time, it kept a watchful eye on Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng, fearing they might launch a sneak attack.

The battle between Yu Qiushui and Cat Brother erupted instantly, with the offensive and defensive transitions between the two as swift as lightning.

Although Yu Qiushui's strength increased greatly after drinking the potion, the god controlled by Cat Brother remained as powerful as ever. Every attack it launched was exceptionally fierce, forcing Yu Qiushui to concentrate fully on dealing with it.

Meanwhile, Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng took the opportunity to approach Liu Jun. Their eyes revealed a resolute look, as if they were prepared to sacrifice themselves.

However, just as they were about to make their move, Cat Brother suddenly revealed a strange smile. That smile was full of mockery and disdain, as if everything was under his control.

"Not good!" Yu Qiushui immediately noticed the strangeness on the God Lord's face and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart. Clearly, things had gotten out of their control and there must be a trap involved.

However, Cat Brother's movements were as fast as lightning, giving them no time to react. The forehead of the god he controlled inexplicably cracked open, as if torn apart by an invisible force.

Suddenly, a swarm of tiny, bee-like creatures flew out of the opening, hovering and buzzing in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

"God-Slaying Bees!" Yu Qiushui recognized these terrifying little creatures at a glance. Her expression instantly turned extremely solemn, and she turned and retreated without hesitation, not daring to hesitate for even a moment.

Although these little creatures are small in size, their destructive power is extremely terrifying, inspiring fear in all who hear of them.

Back when the God Lord had not yet fallen, he did not even have to take action himself. These God-Slaying Bees alone were enough to devour a powerful God King. Their power was evident.

Surprisingly, these god-slaying bees did not attack Yu Qiushui. Instead, as if guided by some force, they flew directly towards Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng.

As the terrifying swarm of bees rapidly approached, Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng's faces turned deathly pale, their eyes filled with terror. They had clearly both heard of the God-Slaying Bees and knew how terrifying they were.

Faced with this sudden crisis, the two dared not continue attacking Liu Jun; they had only one thought in their minds: to escape.

Without hesitation, they turned around and ran with all their might, fearing that if they were even a step slower, they would be devoured by the swarm of god-slaying bees until not even bones remained.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qiushui secretly rejoiced at her quick reaction, while also feeling a little worried for Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng.

However, he was already in a predicament, as the God had caught up with him.

The current situation is not just passive for Yu Qiushui and his group, but they are in an unprecedented predicament.

He himself was being relentlessly pursued by the God Lord, and the slightest carelessness could result in him being torn to pieces. Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng were in no better situation than him; they were being relentlessly attacked by the God-Slaying Bees, who were like messengers of death, carrying an irresistible destructive force that forced them to fight desperately to escape.

At this critical juncture of life and death, any hatred they harbored for Liu Jun had long been forgotten. Forget about harming Liu Jun; at this moment, even their own survival in this cave was uncertain.

When they finally managed to escape from the depths of the cave to the middle section, they were shocked to find that there was no way out ahead.

The densely packed, strange figures, like a black ocean, completely blocked their path.

These strange people were the same troublesome fellows that Liu Jun and his group had encountered when they first entered the cave.

Their bodies are exceptionally tough; even if they are cut into dozens of pieces, they can quickly regenerate. If it weren't for Liu Jun's Phoenix Fire and the fact that the God Lord was indeed strong, the two of them would have been beaten to death by the group.

As Liu Yuan watched the approaching, buzzing swarm of God-Slaying Bees, and then looked at the densely packed, grotesque figures in front of him, his face filled with anxiety and despair.

"We didn't come this way! How did we end up running into these damned guys?" Peng Sheng looked utterly desperate.

Yu Qiushui was well aware that they hadn't taken this route into the cave, but now they were trapped with enemies in front and behind.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and scanned his surroundings, searching for a glimmer of hope. However, reality was cruel; all around him were jagged rocks and those eerie figures that sent chills down his spine, and there was simply no other way out.

The terrifying aura of the God Lord was drawing ever closer, and time was running out. "It's no use talking about this now," Yu Qiushui said in a deep voice. "We must find a way to break out. Otherwise, once the God-Slaying Bees and the God Lord catch up, we will all die here."

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng's eyes. They knew that there was no turning back now; only a desperate fight for survival offered any chance of survival.

“These strange people are only at the Quasi-God King level. I’ll lead the way, and we still have a chance. You two, stay close.” Yu Qiushui’s gaze was firm.

Before he finished speaking, he flashed into the dense crowd of strange people like a bolt of lightning.

Yu Qiushui had his own reasons for choosing this seemingly dangerous path. Although there were many strange people, their cultivation levels were generally not high, so they did not pose a great threat to him, whose strength was close to the peak of the God King realm.

More importantly, these strange beings could serve as a natural barrier for them to escape the pursuit of the God Lord and the God-Slaying Bees. After all, compared to the terrifying God Lord and the ferocious God-Slaying Bees, a direct confrontation between the three of them would be futile, like throwing an egg against a rock. Only by using this sea of ​​strange beings as cover could they possibly find a glimmer of hope in their desperate situation.

However, as soon as Yu Qiushui made contact with these strange people, he sensed something was wrong. He moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen strange people had fallen.

But what's shocking is that these strange figures didn't leave any corpses after they fell to the ground, as if they were just phantom images.

Even more terrifying is that those "killed" monsters stand up again in the blink of an eye, as if they had never been injured, felt no pain, and were tireless, able to resurrect indefinitely!

Yu Qiushui's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this trouble was far greater than he had anticipated. Although he could barely cope with it thanks to his superior strength, Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng, who were following behind him, were under immense pressure.

Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng had forcibly advanced to the God King realm through special means, but their foundations were unstable. Even if they joined forces, they would find it difficult to withstand so many strange people at the quasi-God King realm.

Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng staggered, struggling to stay afloat, their faces filled with terror and despair. Each strike seemed to be a struggle, as if every attack had exhausted all their strength.

Yu Qiushui saw this and was anxious. He knew that if they couldn't find a solution soon, all three of them would be doomed.

"Hold on! We must find the weakness of these weirdos!" Yu Qiushui shouted, trying to encourage his men.

At the same time, he focused more intently on observing the behavioral patterns of these strange people, trying to find a flaw in their behavior.

He knew that only by finding and destroying the resurrection mechanism of these monsters could they possibly escape this endless nightmare.

Led by Yu Qiushui, the three fought and retreated, constantly navigating through a sea of ​​monsters. They had to evade the monsters' attacks while remaining constantly vigilant against the pursuit of the God Lord and the God-Slaying Bees.

However, the god controlled by Cat Brother did not rush into the group of monsters to hunt them down as they expected. Instead, he stood alone on a high platform of an abandoned building, quietly watching the chaotic and cruel scene below.

As for those terrifying God-Slaying Bees, those so-called calamities, they have long since vanished, as if they had never truly existed.

It turns out that this overwhelming swarm of god-slaying bees that instilled despair was all fake, a holographic projection created by the AI-powered supercomputer using advanced technology—a meticulously designed psychological warfare tactic.

If Yu Qiushui and the others could maintain a shred of rationality amidst their fear and carefully observe those so-called God-Slaying Bees, they might have discovered the truth and realized that these so-called God-Slaying Bees were nothing more than illusory images.

However, the terrifying image of the God-Slaying Bees had already deeply penetrated people's hearts. The moment they saw them, they were filled with endless fear and despair, and they had no time to carefully observe these details.

At this point, Yu Qiushui, Liu Yuan, and Peng Cheng, trapped among the strange creatures, even if they suddenly realized that the God-Slaying Bee was fake, there was no turning back. They could only grit their teeth and continue fighting desperately in this land of death, searching for that sliver of hope for survival.

"Palace Master, Old Liu, goodbye..." After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Peng Cheng's voice suddenly rang out in the chaos, carrying a sense of determination and tragedy.

Yu Qiushui and Liu Yuan's hearts sank. Before they could recover from this sudden farewell, Peng Sheng's momentum suddenly surged.

Peng Cheng's eyes turned bloodshot, and his muscles bulged as if they were about to explode, a powerful force surging within him. He seemed determined to use his last ounce of strength to give Yu Qiushui and Liu Yuan a chance at life.

"Kill!" Peng Sheng, burning with all his life force, was like an awakened beast, radiating dazzling light from head to toe. Although this state could only last for a few seconds, within those few seconds, his power seemed to break through the heavens, and he could even compete with the supreme god.

"Boom boom boom—" A deafening roar echoed inside the cave as Peng Sheng, like a mad rhinoceros, charged wildly toward the cave entrance.

With each step he took, a terrifying aura swept through the crowd, sending the strange figures along the way flying like leaves caught in a whirlwind, successfully carving out a bloody path.

Yu Qiushui and Liu Yuan followed closely behind, their faces filled with grief.

Although they were saddened, they knew they could not let Peng Sheng's sacrifice go to waste; they had to get out alive.
