"What about now? Can we stop him now?"

Chen Feng frowned and hurriedly asked.

"Now..."

The old master pondered for a moment, then said with a troubled expression, "It’s tough! Given my current state, I definitely can’t make a move because most of my origin energy has been consumed in the battle just now. Only a small amount is left, barely sustaining the life of my soul body. If I force myself to act again, I would exhaust all my origin energy, and when that happens, I will perish!"

"Senior, I understand your condition, don’t trouble yourself with it!"

Chen Feng nodded, then turned his head to look at the Devouring Sky Python and asked, "Tuntian, how are you now?"

"Reporting to the Lord, truth be told, during the fierce battle just now, I deployed my strongest attacks several times in a row, so I’m also almost depleted. If I go up forcefully, I can still fight, but I’m afraid in my current state, I can’t hurt that monster anymore!"

The Devouring Sky Python said gravely.

It was telling the truth.

After all, it battled fiercely with that monster for so long, and the monster was so formidable.

It teamed up with the old master, recklessly attacking the monster with all kinds of moves, truly risking their lives.

So now, the old master’s origin energy is spent, and naturally the Devouring Sky Python is in no better condition.

The energy within its body is also nearly exhausted, it must recover.

Though it still has the power to fight.

But previously, it teamed up with the old master, plus the Xuanming Demon Wolf drew the monster’s firepower from the front, only then did they barely inflict heavy damage on the monster.

Moreover, at that time, both it and the old master were at their peak.

But now, the old master no longer has combat power.

And its energy is also exhausted.

In this situation, attacking the monster alone, no matter what, it can’t harm the monster.

Let alone kill the monster or interrupt its sacrificial forbidden technique, that’s even more impossible.

"This... This is really a difficult problem. If even you can’t hurt it or severely damage it again, then I’m afraid no one can stop this monster from completing the sacrifice!"

Chen Feng frowned and said solemnly.

"Ah, I defended against everything except the monster’s move. I thought this was just a Sergeant Level monster, never thought it also knew the demon clan’s sacrificial forbidden technique. Had I known in advance, I would have been more cautious, but now it’s performed the sacrificial forbidden technique, and once it’s completed, we’ll all be doomed!"

The old master sighed deeply, speaking with some helplessness.

After all, no matter what.

He is one of the strong ones who survived from ancient times.

Though his body was destroyed, his soul body barely remains.

And he has indeed gone head-to-head with the ancient demon clan.

Back in ancient times, monsters of this level could be easily crushed under his palm.

But now, this monster, which was like an ant before him, is like a big boss!

Especially after it completes the sacrifice.

There’s even less of a strategy to deal with it.

This leaves the old master feeling helpless and despondent.

"If there’s really no other way... I’ll do it!"

Chen Feng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, with a resolute expression.

"Chen Feng, what are you planning to do?"

The old master’s expression changed and he hurriedly asked.

"Fight life with life! Use my life to exchange for the monster’s life. The monster has just started the sacrificial forbidden technique, its state must be unstable. If I risk my life to attack it, I might be able to drag it down together!"

Chen Feng said through clenched teeth.

"You’re crazy! I already said, you absolutely cannot throw your life away, because you have a more important mission. If you perish together with such a mere Sergeant Level monster now, who will defend the Earth when the ancient demon clan launches a full-scale attack?"

The old master glared at Chen Feng, quickly advising.

"But if we can’t deal with this monster, how can we talk about saving Earth from the hands of the ancient demon clan? Senior, you must know, once this monster successfully sacrifices, its strength will at least double, by then, definitely far surpassing the Heaven Rank!"

"With such power, there’s hardly any rival in the current Ancient Martial World. By then, let alone a full-scale attack from the ancient demon clan, just this one monster would be a disaster for Earth. If I don’t risk my life stopping it today, once it’s successfully sacrificed, no one will be able to stop it!"

Chen Feng said gravely.

"But you can’t lose your life for this! If the mountain is green, there will be wood to burn! If it really doesn’t work, we can retreat directly now, find a place to hide. After the monster completes the sacrifice, its power will surge, but it will also have a time limit! Once the time ends, even if we don’t fight it, it will collapse on its own. That’s the downside of the sacrificial forbidden technique. Since we can’t deal with it now, why not avoid its sharp edge?"

The old master said.

"Senior! This time, please forgive me for not following your advice! Though what you say makes sense, we avoid its sharp edge, wait for it to self-destruct, is a good strategy, but today, I stand here as Chen Feng, and cannot retreat!"

"Because behind me is Coastal, is my home, is the foundation of my Chen Family, and is the place where all my friends and relatives live!"

"If I retreat now, avoid the sharp edge, then the monster’s sharp edge will turn towards my friends and family behind me. By then, the ones in danger are them, so today, I stand here as Chen Feng, even if I die, I cannot let this monster charge into the city!"

Chen Feng said with determined expression.

Upon hearing this, the old master was taken aback.

He had indeed failed to consider this point.

Earlier, he thought only about not letting Chen Feng suffer a great loss over a small matter, when necessary, sacrifices should be made, preserve the green mountains, and strengthen in the future for Earth’s salvation.

However, he neglected the most crucial point.

Which is the importance of Coastal in Chen Feng’s heart.

To Chen Feng, Coastal is his home!

Though he was not born here, he has everything in Coastal.

He established the Chen Family in Coastal, and has his own family, loved ones, relatives, friends, and so on!

Therefore, even if the monster is extremely ferocious, Chen Feng will not back down.

Because if Chen Feng retreats, the ones suffering will be his friends and family behind him.

Chen Feng has been protecting these people all along.

Now suddenly asking him to abandon protection, to stay safe alone, to hide.

That’s something he cannot agree to no matter what.
