The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 283 Leaping Fish, Stop!
"Yes."

Li Yuantu sighed and spoke in a deep voice.

"It's just what you think."

"The only thing Zhong Lingyun can do at this moment is to stop the leaping fish so that it cannot cause harm or damage to the people and the city."

"But this state cannot be maintained for long."

“Once the effects of the Food Spirit Renewal wear off, Zhong Lingyun will only have five Food Spirits left to fight.” Li Yuantu took a deep breath. “With seven Food Spirits, he is no match for Leaping Fish. With only five Food Spirits left, the situation will be even worse.”

Qi Bing's heart skipped a beat. She stared intently at Zhong Lingyun in the distance, trying to discern a hint of composure on the face of this regional champion.

But no matter how she looked at it, the other person's face only showed extreme solemnity.

Clearly, Li Yuantu was right.

Zhong Lingyun couldn't save this city either.

All he could do was use all his strength to save as many people as possible.

"Let's prepare early," Li Yuantu said in a deep voice.

"If the destruction of this city is inevitable, at least we must do everything we can to save as many people as possible."

“Mr. Li Yuantu…” Qi Bing’s face was pale, and she spoke with some despair, “Is there really… no way at all?”

She was born and raised in Yuehu City. This is her home, and the place she is determined to protect with all her might.

Is it possible that all we can do is try to save some of the people and then watch the city and her home be destroyed?
Upon hearing Qi Bing's words, Li Yuantu remained silent for a moment.

After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice, "If there really is any other way, then perhaps we can solve the problem at its root."

As he spoke, Li Yuantu looked at the leaping fish in mid-air.

"This guy is clearly not in a normal state."

"Let it wake up, and all problems can be solved."

Let it wake up...

Qi Bing stared blankly at the leaping fish, tears streaming silently down her face.

Who can bring a legendary creature that has gone mad back to its senses?

Sometimes, the inability to achieve a solution is the most despairing.

She took a deep breath, released her hand from the wound, and vigorously wiped away her tears.

“I understand, Mr. Li Yuantu.”

"I'll go and disperse the crowd."

Watching Qi Bing jog away, Li Yuantu sighed.

"It's tough," Zhuo Hong shook his head. "The three of us are doomed today."

"But with the two of you with me, I'm not lonely."

"You rascal," Li Yuantu shook his head, both amused and exasperated, "at a time like this, you're still in the mood for jokes."

"Let's go, let's help evacuate the crowd." Li Yuantu glanced at Hu Zi, who was fighting the leaping fish in the air.

The aura of this food spirit has clearly become unstable.

There is not much time left for them.

Li Yuantu could sense Hu Zi's abnormal state, and Zhong Lingyun, as Hu Zi's spirit chef, naturally felt it even more clearly.

"Tsk, is it nearing its limit?"

Feeling the intense fatigue washing over him like a tidal wave, Zhong Lingyun's eyes held a hint of inexplicable disappointment.

"Regional Champion..."

"Can't even handle legendary creatures, what a load of bull for a regional champion!"

Seemingly sensing Zhong Lingyun's thoughts, the tiger in the air let out a firm and fighting roar.

"Roar!" "Alright, old partner." Zhong Lingyun took a deep breath, his fighting spirit rekindling in his eyes. "Let's deliver the final blow with all our might!"

"Tiger, use the Flame God Annihilation again!"

Tiger raised his hands high in mid-air, accompanied by terrifying flames that rapidly converged, and an astonishing heat wave instantly swept around.

The firelight grew ever brighter, as if it were about to transform into a sun on earth, tearing through the dark clouds in the sky, making it impossible to look directly at it.

That was Tiger's strongest attack, unleashing his full power and pushing himself to the limit.

Faced with this terrifying sense of oppression, the madness in the eyes of the leaping fish seemed to have diminished, replaced by a strong sense of solemnity.

"Woo——"

With a melodious low murmur, the leaping fish suddenly flapped its fins, which resembled large wings, stirring up a dark red gale. Its aura visibly increased, and then it opened its mouth, gathering blood-red energy.

"Tsk..." A hint of displeasure appeared in Zhong Lingyun's eyes upon seeing this. "You're not even using your full strength when you're fighting me?"

"Tiger, blast this guy away!"

"Ow--"

Tiger roared, and the flames that had gathered to their maximum intensity transformed into a heavy cannon, completely dyeing the sky red. Under the blindingly bright light, everything around seemed to dim and distort.

The leaping fish flapped its wings once more, and the blood-red light that had been accumulating in the air burst forth, colliding fiercely with Tiger's attack.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening explosion, everything on the battlefield, already reduced to ruins, was annihilated by the aftershocks of the terrible bombardment.

The intense light slowly dimmed, and Tiger's battered body remained motionless in mid-air. In contrast, the Leaping Fish on the other side seemed to have suffered no injuries whatsoever from the bombardment.

"Om-"

With a deep hum, Tiger's form reverted to its state before the Spirit Eater's Super Renewal, and then transformed into a stream of light and returned to the Star Vein.

It is completely exhausted.

"You've done your best."

Zhong Lingyun stroked the location of the Tian Shu Star Vein and spoke softly.

Then, he looked at the five food spirits accompanying him and forced a smile, "It's the final moment."

"Fight until you use up your last bit of strength." He clenched his fists tightly, watching the leaping fish regain its crimson energy.

"If you want to destroy this city, then step over my dead body!"

The five food spirits simultaneously let out a passionate growl, their eyes gleaming with a resolute and determined light.

"hateful!"

In the distance, Qi Bing, who was evacuating the crowd, gritted her teeth, abruptly turned her head away, unwilling to look at the tragic scene, and focused her attention back on the evacuation of the people.

"Please do not crowd! Leave in an orderly manner along the passage!"

Li Yuantu and the other two, along with the security management team, directed the evacuation. At this moment, they all sighed, turned their heads away, and looked at each other with reluctance and sorrow in their eyes.

That's the regional champion from Shinonome...

The crimson energy became increasingly conspicuous, dyeing the entire cloud-covered sky crimson.

As if sensing Zhong Lingyun's thoughts, the Leaping Fish unleashed its full power in this attack, aiming to annihilate him completely.

Just then, an anxious shout suddenly rang out.

"Leaping Fish, stop!"

The next moment, the crimson light that had gathered in the mouth of the leaping fish miraculously dimmed slowly and finally disappeared completely.

"this…"

Zhong Lingyun, who was preparing for a desperate fight, froze on the spot, and then looked sharply at the boy who was holding up the blue-purple pearl and running towards them quickly.
