A sliver of confusion appeared in the panther's eyes. It was unable to tell which of the densely packed sword images were real and which were fake. Sometimes, it would feel like all the sword images were fake, and other times, it would feel like all the sword images were real.
The single-horned black panther could not sense the sword shadow, so it waved its claws wildly, creating gusts of fierce wind. Violent streams of energy shot out from its claws, sending the sand and pebbles on the ground flying.
Jianchen focused all of his attention on controlling the Emperor Armament. The Emperor Armament weaved through the panther's claws, stabbing toward the two swords with lightning-like speed.
However, just when the Emperor Armament approached the panther's eyes, the panther seemed to sense it. It suddenly tilted its head to the side, barely dodging Jianchen's attack. However, the Emperor Armament still left behind a deep gash on its neck. Blood immediately spurted out like a fountain.
The panther became even more furious after being injured again and again. It roared at the sky as powerful energy began to gather in its mouth, quickly condensing into a head-sized ball of earthen-yellow energy that shot toward Jianchen. At the same time, the short horn on its head began to glow with a faint yellow light.
Just when Jianchen wanted to dodge the ball of energy, the horn on the panther's head suddenly shot out a faint yellow light that enveloped him. Immediately, Jianchen felt his body tighten. He had been immobilized by a mysterious force.
Jianchen was shocked. He had seen many Xuanhuang beasts in the past few days he had spent in the Xuanhuang Microcosm, but he had never seen one with such a wondrous ability. It could actually immobilize its opponent.
Jianchen's Chaotic Force circulated wildly within him. Only after using all of his strength did he finally shatter the mysterious force around him. However, the delay allowed the ball of energy in the panther's mouth to strike Jianchen's chest.
Boom! With a muffled boom, Jianchen was blasted far away, landing on the dry ground a few kilometers away. His chest was badly mutilated, and a few of his ribs were broken.
Jianchen stood up from the ground with a flip. Even though his wounds seemed vicious and terrifying, they did not affect his battle prowess by much. As Chaotic Force circulated through his body, his broken ribs and wounds healed at a visible rate. The strength of the Chaotic Body was perfectly demonstrated at that moment.
The one-horned black panther was stunned for a moment when it saw that Jianchen was still able to stand up as if nothing had happened to him after taking a blow from it. However, it quickly reacted and charged towards Jianchen. The yellow light on its horn began to flicker again.
Jianchen stood there steadily, using the precious time to heal as quickly as possible. However, he stared at the short horn on the panther's head. He was extremely stern.
Although the energy from the horn could only trap him for an extremely short amount of time, it was enough to turn the situation around. He could endure it once or twice, but if he was heavily injured too many times, he would struggle to endure it even with his Chaotic Force. After all, he was not enduring the Holy Emperor's attacks, but the Holy Emperor's attacks.
"Be careful, master. That's an innate ability of some Xuanhuang beasts. There aren't a lot of Xuanhuang beasts with innate abilities in the Xuanhuang Microcosm, but every single one of them is basically invincible among those of the same level of strength. All you need to do is dodge the moment the innate ability is used," the Ziying's voice rang out in Jianchen's head.
Jianchen was secretly amazed when he heard that. He said, "I never thought that Xuanhuang beasts would actually have an innate ability. I wonder how many times it can use it." Jianchen had already sensed that the panther had become rather exhausted after using the innate ability once.
With the assistance of the sword spirits, Jianchen had already found the minute changes that occurred when the Xuanhuang beast used the innate ability, allowing him to successfully dodge the second attack. At the same time, the Emperor Armament added a few more wounds to the panther's body.
The bodies of Class 9 Xuanhuang beasts were just far too tough. Jianchen was unable to pierce through their bodies with his current strength. He could only stab three inches deep. At the same time, the Xuanhuang beast possessed strands of Xuanhuang Qi, so even if Jianchen channeled his Chaotic Force into the Xuanhuang beast, the damage he could inflict on it was extremely limited.
The panther used its innate ability three times in a row. Aside from the first time, it failed to hit Jianchen the other two times, so it just stopped using its innate ability. It engaged in an intense battle with Jianchen using its tough body. The powerful ripples of energy from their battle caused the surroundings to become a mess.
Gradually, the wounds on Jianchen and the panther rapidly increased. They were completely covered in blood. During this time, Jianchen had tried to blind the panther's eyes several times, but not only was the panther much more powerful than the two crocodiles he had encountered, but its reflexes and agility were far greater than the two crocodiles. At the same time, the panther had experienced countless battles, so its battle experience was extremely rare among Xuanhuang beasts. As a result, the panther would narrowly dodge every time Jianchen stabbed at it.
The vitality of Xuanhuang beasts was extremely great. Although Jianchen was unable to kill the panther in a short amount of time, it was only a matter of time.
Suddenly, a sliver of insight flashed through Jianchen's head. Jianchen's eyes immediately became rather dazed, and he slowed down as well. At that moment, he felt like he had grasped something, but the feeling was like he was looking at a flower through a haze. It was hazy, and he could not see it clearly.
Being suddenly distracted during battle was fatal to any expert. The panther immediately arrived before Jianchen during that moment of distraction. It opened its mouth and bit at Jianchen.
