The giant battle axe slammed down, and Ye Yun and the others' expressions changed slightly as they immediately dodged.
With a loud bang, the colossal battle axe struck the ground, unleashing a terrifying surge of energy that instantly enveloped the surroundings in dust.
Ye Yun's eyelids twitched at the sheer power.
"This Minotaur is a bit monstrous..."
The might of that single blow was indeed on par with a Celestial God above Tier 20. For everyone present, it was an immensely oppressive force.
Yet, even so, no one was truly terrified. After a brief moment of shock, they all regrouped into their respective teams.
Qian Kong, decisive as ever, waved his hand and commanded, "Attack together! You few, go and contain him!"
It seemed they had to defeat this monster, so they didn't hesitate.
After all, judging by its abilities, it was clearly a melee-focused opponent. Dealing with it, even with its considerable strength, wouldn't be too difficult!
He then turned to another group and ordered, "The rest of you, attack from a distance with me!"
Without delay, the Qian Yuan Domain forces struck first.
Led by a Celestial God-level expert, they charged towards the Minotaur. Utilizing their speed advantage, they continuously harassed and provoked it.
Like slippery loaches, they darted around beneath its legs.
Every time it attempted to strike, the figures below had already moved behind it, leaving it unable to land a blow.
Meanwhile, fierce divine energy attacks rained down from afar, staggering the Minotaur and making it difficult to maintain its footing.
It could only roar in impotent fury, accumulating wounds as the attacks clearly took effect!
"That's the way! Increase the attack intensity!"
Seeing the effectiveness of their assault, Qian Kong's heart swelled with delight.
What if it was powerful? It was still being toyed with by them!
At this pace, they might even be able to finish it off without the help of the Ling Luo Domain forces.
Witnessing this, Qian Ling, who was not far away, couldn't hold back.
"Star Lord Ye, should we join in? If we don't act soon, that monster will be defeated by the Qian Yuan Domain!"
If they truly let the monster be killed, the other party might use it as an excuse to demand a larger share of any treasures that appeared later.
Hearing this, Ye Yun stared at the Minotaur for a long time.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the dark red horn glowing at the center of its head. As if discovering something, his expression suddenly changed.
"Never mind that for now, everyone prepare to dodge!"
"Huh? Dodge what?"
It was then that Qian Ling understood what they needed to dodge!
It turned out the Minotaur, seemingly enraged by the attacks from the Qian Yuan Domain, began to heal the rents in its massive body at a visible rate.
Following this, it let out a sky-rending roar, and a powerful red beam of light shot out from its dark golden horns.
This destructive laser-like beam directly targeted the attacking forces of the Qian Yuan Domain.
Sensing the destructive aura contained within the beam, everyone's faces turned deathly pale!
"Quick, dodge!"
Qian Kong reacted the fastest, shouting a warning.
However, some were too slow to escape.
As the dark red beam descended, their bodies and even their divine cores were reduced to ash!
Moreover, the beam continued to pursue them, impacting the ground and causing violent explosions!
"Everyone, dodge quickly!"
As the destructive beam neared, Qian Ling, having been warned, shouted to those around her, and they preemptively evaded.
Thus, the Ling Luo Domain forces avoided any casualties from this attack.
The impetuous Qian Yuan forces, however, suffered significant losses. Another Celestial God-level expert, unable to dodge in time, was severely wounded by this strike.
Among the weaker Star God-level cultivators, four were lost, drastically reducing their numbers.
"What are you people doing? Just standing there watching?"
At this moment, Qian Kong glared fiercely at Qian Ling.
Clearly, he was angered that she hadn't joined them in attacking the colossal monster.
Qian Ling rolled her eyes at him and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "What do you mean, we were watching? You're the one who rushed in recklessly without saying a word and attacked, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Qian Kong's eyelids twitched violently.
Just as he was about to retort, Ye Yun's words interrupted them.
"By the way, Princess Qian Ling, I think I've figured out how to deal with that Minotaur."
"Ah? Are you sure?"
"Of course. But I'll need your cooperation."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, his confident demeanor reminding Qian Ling of their past encounters.
After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "No problem, we'll cooperate however you need us to!"
She then glanced at Qian Kong.
"What about you all?"
"Hmph, if you have the ability, go ahead yourself," Qian Kong scoffed. "We need to rest and recuperate for a while."
Currently at a disadvantage, they naturally didn't want to risk further danger with the other party.
Moreover, he had no faith in Ye Yun. What could a mere Star God possibly do against a Celestial God-level monster?
Hearing this, Ye Yun didn't waste words and simply stated, "In that case, we'll handle it."
"Uh, are you really sure?"
Qian Ling frowned, a hint of worry in her voice, as she had witnessed the fate of the Qian Yuan Domain forces just moments ago.
Ye Yun chuckled and confidently patted his chest.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll deliver a killing blow!"
"Alright, then!"
They then moved aside and briefly discussed their battle plan.
Ye Yun was confident he could deliver a fatal blow to the Minotaur, but only if it remained stationary.
Therefore, their task was simple: to restrain the behemoth for Ye Yun.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how you plan to deal with this thing!"
Qian Kong led his men to retreat, content to watch the Ling Luo Domain forces charge forward.
After all, it wouldn't be too late to join the fray once the other party had suffered some losses.
Otherwise, ending the battle now would give the opposing side too much of an advantage.
As for whether he could ultimately defeat the Minotaur, he, possessing his own trump cards, was highly confident he could heavily wound it, so he wasn't overly concerned.
Thus, he leisurely positioned himself in the distance, intending to first witness Ye Yun and his companions' comical performance.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves! Attack together!"
At Qian Ling's command, numerous powerful cultivators from the Ling Luo Domain unleashed their might!
Figures charged towards the Minotaur with thunderous momentum!
