"I don't think so …" Zhang Xuan replied awkwardly.
Possessing the Pathos of Heavens cultivation technique and sword art, he was able to defeat middle-tier Gods with ease. However, high-tier Gods would have a hard time defeating them!
Not to mention, there were even stronger divine beasts!
Of course, he was not there to kill the Phosphor Armored Beast but to obtain some of its blood. As long as he encountered it, he would be able to use the Library of Heaven's Path and his glib tongue to beguile it or even tame it!
He did not rely on his fighting prowess to tame beasts. Instead, he relied on his unparalleled charm!
If charm did not work, he would just have to trade it with God Essence Pills.
In any case, he had a lot of them at the moment. There was no spiritual energy in the valley, so it was unlikely that the Phosphor Armored Beast would turn him down.
"You sure are gutsy, but you still dared to come despite being unable to defeat it." The young man shook his head. "Also, there's one more thing that I'm curious about. You said that you want the blood of the Phosphor Armored Beast, but do you know where it lives and what it looks like?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "As long as I can find a high-tier God divine beast with strong defense, I should be able to …"
The person in charge had only said that the Phosphor Armored Beast was in the Valley of Falling Clouds, but he had not gone into detail about its exact location. He had thought that he would be able to find a random divine beast to tame, but it turned out that he did not encounter anything at all.
Naturally, he was baffled.
However, there was only a single path in the valley. As long as he followed the path without missing a single spot, he would surely be able to find it.
"Don't you think that you're taking it too lightly?"
The young man sneered as he leaned against a boulder outside the cavern with a playful look on his face.
"It's nothing much. I have tamed quite a few beasts, so I know their personalities. As long as I encounter them, I'll surely be able to persuade them!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands and said, "Alright, I'm indebted to you for your good wine and meat. I'll be taking my leave now. I have to rush back before daybreak. I don't have much time to waste!"
After saying those words, he walked around the young man and headed into the depths of the valley.
"You don't seem to know anything at all. Since you saved me, I'll help you find the Inferno Qilin today!"
"This … is too troublesome!" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. In the end, he shook his head and said, "Friend, although your cultivation is very high, the Phosphor Armored Beast is a mythological beast with an invincible defense. It will be very difficult for you to deal with it. There's no need to trouble yourself."
"It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do anyway. We drank together, and you saved me. It's only right for me to help you! Besides, you don't know anything. If you keep searching like this, when will you ever find him? "
Carrying the remaining half a gourd of wine on his back, the young man walked up to Zhang Xuan.
As the other party approached, only then did Zhang Xuan realize that the young man before him was actually two meters tall, an entire head taller than him. His body was well-built, and he exuded an immense pressure.
"Since you're so kind, I'll appreciate it … Of course, I won't let you help me for free. Here are five Divine Origin Pills as my reward!"
With a flick of his finger, Zhang Xuan tossed a jade bottle over.
He didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
If the other party insisted on helping, he would just have to pay them.
Even if the other party was a high-tier God, five God Essence Pills was a hefty price to pay.
"Oh?" The young man was taken aback for a moment before he uncorked the jade bottle. There were indeed five God Essence Pills inside. He casually picked one up and took a whiff. After confirming that it was indeed a God Essence Pill, his eyes lit up in excitement. "Thank you!"
After saying those words, he popped a pill into his mouth, and he could feel the spiritual energy flowing within it. He stuffed the rest into his pocket before taking a step forward and saying, "Follow me. I'll bring you to the Phosphor Armored Beast!"
Without saying anything, Zhang Xuan followed the young man into the depths of the valley.
The deeper one walked into the special zone of the canyon, the stronger the sound of the wind became, and the sound of whimpering could be heard without end.
The two of them walked for nearly an hour before the young man finally came to a halt. "The nest of the Phosphor Armored Beast is right ahead …"
Zhang Xuan looked ahead and saw a massive cavern in the middle of the pitch-black valley.
The entrance of the cavern was at least a dozen men tall, and it was pitch-black inside. It was impossible to see what was inside.
"This is it?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
It seemed like the Phosphor Armored Beast was much larger than he had imagined. Otherwise, it would not have been able to build such a vast cavern.
"Un. If you wish to capture it, you can just enter. I'll follow behind you. If you need any help, just give me a call," the young man said.
"Alright." Nodding, Zhang Xuan fell silent. Taking a deep breath, he began making his way toward the cavern in the distance.
The young man quickly followed behind him.
It did not take long for Zhang Xuan to activate his Eye of Insight to peer into the cavern.
It was pitch-black within. After walking for a while, the cavern suddenly opened up. The light from the torches illuminated the surroundings.
"That is …"
The young man sent a telepathic message over.
Zhang Xuan raised his head and saw a massive divine beast sleeping on a stone platform in the cavern. Its body was around seven meters long, and its entire body was covered in gray fur.
"Why does it look like a wolf?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
The feeling that the divine beast before him gave him was that of a massive wolf.
Didn't they say that the Phosphor Armored Beast possessed an invincible defense?
"That's it. I come here often, so there's no mistake about it," the young man replied.
"That's good to hear …" Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan took out a sword and flicked it lightly. A surge of sword qi immediately burst forth from it.
Before Zhang Xuan could reach the Phosphor Armored Beast, the Phosphor Armored Beast abruptly stood up, and with a sweep of its thick tail, a powerful gale swept through the cavern.
"It's indeed a high-tier God!"
Zhang Xuan swiftly dodged the attack with a grim look on his face.
The massive fellow before him was indeed a high-tier God. Every single one of its movements carried immense pressure, making it hard for Zhang Xuan to deal with it.
"Heart of Two Nets, Thousands of Knots!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan executed his strongest move.
In an instant, a massive burst of sword qi burst forth, and a net-like sword qi burst forth toward the Phosphor Armored Beast.
"What a formidable swordsmanship!"
The young man exclaimed.
He had thought that Zhang Xuan had some sort of trump card up his sleeves, or else he would not have dared to challenge the Phosphor Armored Beast alone. However, after seeing this swordsmanship, he realized that even though Zhang Xuan was only a low-tier God, his fighting prowess was on par with most high-tier Gods!
"Roar!"
The Phosphor Armored Beast roared furiously, but it was able to break free from the net easily in just a few breaths.
At the same time, it charged forward furiously and swiped its claws at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan took a step back before turning to the young man behind him and said, "I'll have to trouble you to make a move!"
"Sure!" The young man seemed to have been waiting for those words. He took a step forward and threw a punch at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan made use of this opportunity to launch another sneak attack at the Phosphor Armored Beast's weak spot.
Peng!
The young man's fist struck the Phosphor Armored Beast squarely in its abdomen, sending it crashing into the wall behind it.
Zhang Xuan swiftly executed all of his means at his disposal.
The young man did not hold back either. His two arms multiplied into eight, and his body was extremely resilient. Even after taking two blows from the Phosphor Armored Beast, he was still completely unscathed.
Around ten breaths later, the Phosphor Armored Beast was no longer a match for the Phosphor Armored Beast. Blood splattered all over its body as it charged out of the cave, disappearing into the darkness of the night in the blink of an eye.
"That's great!"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly looked for a bottle to store the Phosphor Armored Beast's blood.
After storing the Phosphor Armored Beast's blood, Zhang Xuan turned to the young man and clasped his fist. "Thank you for your help, friend."
"There's no need to thank me. Since I helped you, I'll have to pay the price. Give me another fifty God Essence Pills. That way, we'll be even! "
The young man said with a wave of his hand.
"Fifty God Essence Pills?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
God Essence Pills were extremely expensive, and there was no market for them. Wasn't the young man asking for fifty God Essence Pills a little too much?
Who could have thought that the young man's face would suddenly change so abruptly?
"Indeed. If I hadn't made a move, you would have been killed. Fifty God Essence Pills in exchange for your life shouldn't be too expensive, right?" the young man asked.
"I am just an ordinary cultivator, so how could I possibly have so many God Essence Pills on me? How about this? I'll give you all of the ten God Essence Pills I have on me …" Zhang Xuan said.
"You don't have any? Let me search you! "the young man said as he released his divine energy from his fingertips, sealing off all paths of escape.
Feeling his body being sealed, Zhang Xuan's face paled, and he bellowed, "You … What are you up to?"
"Nothing much. You came to kill me, so I'll kill you and take your possessions. That's not too much, right?"
The young man chuckled.
"Kill you? What do you mean by that? I saved your life just now … "
"Saved me? Hahaha! "
The young man said. "Didn't you come here to kill the Phosphor Armored Beast?"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"I am the Phosphor Armored Beast!" The young man harrumphed coldly as his body began morphing. In the next moment, a massive divine beast clad in phosphor armor materialized before him.
"You are the Phosphor Armored Beast?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in astonishment. "You have already metamorphosed?"
He had known that divine beasts were capable of metamorphosis ever since he had arrived in the Firmament. However, he did not think that it would actually look exactly like a human.
"Indeed. You tried to kill me, so I killed you instead. It's very fair!" the Phosphor Armored Beast replied with a chuckle.
"Indeed." Zhang Xuan nodded. "However, do you think that I wouldn't be on guard against a person drinking alone in the middle of the night?"
"I have seen your strength and trump cards. Why would you still have other trump cards?" the Phosphor Armored Beast asked.
The reason why he had brought Zhang Xuan here to look for the divine beast from earlier was to see just how strong he was. Seeing that Zhang Xuan was only relying on his swordsmanship and didn't possess any powerful artifacts, he heaved a sigh of relief and made a move.
"It's true that I am no match for you, but my apologies. You ate something that you shouldn't have eaten earlier!"
Zhang Xuan said with a smile as he flicked his finger lightly.
Peng!
The Phosphor Armored Beast, who was just about to launch another attack, suddenly widened its eyes in shock. An intense pain jolted through its abdomen, and cold sweat began dripping down its forehead. Its massive body began trembling uncontrollably.
