One of the two-headed spirit beast's heads spat out a green breath of wind, which turned into a powerful force that hit Yuan Lixun, who had fallen into the water, whereas the other head never let down its guard against He Yiming. The speed of the fireball that was spat out from its mouth was even faster at the next moment.
Nonetheless, it was then when it sensed a huge sense of crisis. The feeling came from the human in front of it. Although the human had given it a similar feeling from the beginning, it was far from being as intense as it was at this moment.
Its four eyes finally revealed an expression of extreme fear. It reluctantly glanced at the rippling pool for the last time and immediately made the decision to leave this place.
Although it was reluctant to part with the strange boulder, it knew better that without the boulder's ability, it would end miserably if it continued to be entangled with the human in front of it.
Nevertheless, just as it decided to leave, the sense of crisis suddenly became unbelievably great.
Its four eyes were completely submerged by the light.

The atmosphere in the air had inexplicably changed in an instant. When He Yiming's essential Qi transformed into the Chaos Primordial Force, not only was the power of Heaven and Earth around him distorted, but the power also expanded to half of the valley in an instant.
A dazzling light burst out from the glaive, which was difficult to look at. At this moment, the glaive's head seemed to have turned into a sun, a sun that emitted a metallic color.
There was no sound at all, as if even sound was covered by the strange and powerful metallic color in this area. All of the light gathered into a huge saber-light in an instant, and the reflected light was tough and fierce.
He Yiming's body suddenly disappeared from where he was, and a sharp whistling sound that sounded like a landslide or a tsunami was heard around him.
The saber-light on the glaive was no longer swallowing like a spirit snake, but it had turned into a huge, seemingly substantial metallic color. It was as if the tip of the glaive had extended from the glaive's head, and it emitted a chilling aura.
When the two-headed spirit beast opened its mouth, it also sensed the fear of the end of the world. At this time, it also did its best and dared not hold back at all.
An unprecedented power condensed in its 2 mouths, and the air masses of wind and fire were sprayed out at the same time.
Its stomach instantly shriveled, as if its heart, liver, lungs, stomach, spleen, and other internal organs had all been spat out. Its stomach was almost pressed against its back, giving off an indescribably comical feeling.
These two different types of power actually blended together in the air.
This was its true trump card to save its life. At the same time, it fused the two types of energy and unleashed its strongest power.
In an instant, the wind helped the fire, and the fire borrowed the wind's momentum to form an infinitely blazing tornado in front of the two-headed spirit beast.
Nevertheless, it was then when its eyes lit up again. It clearly saw an enormous and terrifying glaive appearing between the wind and fire. When it swung the glaive, it split the wind, the fire, and everything in front of it. As fast as lightning, it did not give the two-headed spirit beast a chance to dodge at all.
It was the 16th form of the 36 Mountain-Splitting Forms.
This was one of the most powerful martial arts techniques that He Yiming could master so far, and it was also the only Innate Battle Skill among the metal-mastery techniques.
The two-headed spirit beast had steel bones that were not inferior to those of the long-armed raccoon. He Yiming's first attack that injured it contained the power of clouds and rain.
Back in Taicang County's Xu Family's Fort, 201 people were slashed into pieces with that slash.
Nevertheless, when the rain-like glaive slashed the two-headed spirit beast's body, it only cut the surface of its body and caused some blood to flow.
After being treated by the mysterious white stone, the two-headed spirit beast recovered very quickly.
Only the mightiest spirit beasts could have such a strong body and bones.
Nevertheless, when He Yiming circulated the essential Qis of the five elements in his body, he finally unleashed the metal-mastery's power to the extreme. When he performed the 36 Mountain-Splitting Forms with the glaive, every bit of power in his body was completely stimulated.
When the glaive slashed, the wind and fire collapsed and completely dissipated.
When the glaive slashed, it could kill even gods and Buddhas that stood in its way.
When the glaive slashed, it could split Heaven and Earth apart and was invincible.
The light in front of Ou Yangming's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and the sound of the surging wind and power instantly spread into the distance. Even the pond, which had gradually calmed down, rippled endlessly again, and a small vortex even appeared in the center of the pond.
After a brief moment, the drastic change slowly calmed down.
He Yiming fell to the ground and panted heavily. He was still holding the glaive tightly, but it was lying flat in front of him at the moment, and he could not lift it anymore.
Ou Yangming fixed his gaze on the two-headed spirit beast that was not far away from the pond.
At this moment, the rare Two-headed Spirit Beast was as dead as it could be. Its body was severed from the middle by the saber, and it was cut into two neat halves as if it was measured with a ruler. There was not the slightest bit of deviation.
He Yiming took a deep breath and finally felt the power of Heaven and Earth from the outside world slowly flowing into his body. His body, which was almost unable to move, finally regained a bit of power that belonged to him.
The glaive earlier was similar to when he faced the Golden-crowned Python for the first time in the past, where it absorbed all of his essential Qi.
The glaive definitely squeezed out all of Ou Yangming's potential.
If the enemy in front of him could withstand the glaive, He Yiming would not be able to resist for a few breaths after the glaive was done.
Fortunately, the glaive was so mighty that it was far beyond his imagination. When the saber was swung, the two-headed spirit beast, which was equally powerful, did not even have the slightest power to resist. The saber had already slashed through the middle of its two heads, and from its neck to its tail, it was forcefully split into two halves.
He Yiming did not feel the slightest bit of joy when he looked at the spirit beast. His gaze only lingered on the spirit beast for a few breaths until he was certain that it was completely dead. Then, he shifted his gaze to the still rippling pool.
At this moment, the muscles on Ou Yangming's face kept twitching, and a poison known as regret was madly devouring his heart.
When He Yiming discovered the spirit beast, his only thought was to kill it and extract its Neidan to refine its golden core.
Who knew, no matter what, he did not expect the final outcome to be so unbelievable.
Yuan Lixun was actually able to sneak into the peculiar inner valley without him and the two-headed spirit beast. It seemed impossible no matter how one looked at it.
Ou Yangming's ears twitched, and he suddenly realized that his clairaudient ability had returned to its original effect at this moment, where the peculiar power seemed to have disappeared.
He immediately knew that the power was definitely related to the mysterious big stone that was originally floating above the pond. Now that the big stone was pulled into Yuan Lixun's hand, the peculiar power naturally disappeared.
Ou Yangming took a deep breath and slowly regained his power. He gritted his teeth and stood up shakily.
He Yiming put down the glaive in his hand again. 'Grandfather was right — this glaive is the only thing that can bring me good luck and help when it's a matter of life and death.'
If Ou Yangming had come empty-handed instead of the glaive, he might not have been able to kill the two-headed spirit beast on the spot even if he suddenly unleashed his power.
Nevertheless, He Yiming put down the glaive without any hesitation and walked toward the pond.
The first few steps were still a little shaky, but the more he walked, the more stable he became, and the faster he walked.
When he arrived at the pond, he exerted force in his legs and was about to jump into the water.
However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed because he saw a black figure swimming up from the pool like a fish.
Ou Yangming widened his eyes and was tongue-tied when he saw the black figure break through the waves and reveal a wet head from the water.
'Yuan Lixun — it's actually Yuan Lixun.'
What was even more unbelievable was that from Yuan Lixun's series of actions just now, he could tell that there was no injury on her body at all.
Immediately, He Yiming's chest was filled with a crazy joy that seemed to be about to explode.
He did not even have the time to think about how Yuan Lixun, who was clearly attacked by the two-headed spirit beast's breath, was unscathed.
He subconsciously roared, and it sounded like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
Yuan Lixun, who had just floated to the surface, shuddered as she was stupefied by the sudden roar.
Nonetheless, she quickly came back to her senses because she figured that only that terrifying spirit beast could make such a hoarse roar. Although it was different from her initial impression of it, it was still an inhuman voice, so she could not be wrong.
She immediately pulled her hands out and wanted to continue diving into the water. This was because she knew that based on her abilities, she would not be of help but a burden if she showed herself here.
However, at that moment, her vision became blurry as a figure descended from the sky and landed in the water with a splash. The figure hugged her tightly.
Yuan Lixun's heart turned cold, but she immediately felt a wave of warmth.
In the cold pool, she suddenly felt an indescribable warmth.
The feeling was like flowing water as it slowly seeped into her heart, causing her to recall her mother's embrace, which had passed away long ago.
"Lixun, it's really you. Are you alright?" He Yiming's voice, which carried a trace of fear, a trace of guilt, a trace of joy, and a trace of disbelief, resounded in her ears.
Yuan Lixun's face reddened. She struggled gently, but how could she shake He Yiming's embrace? She could only reply, "Young Master, I'm fine. Don't worry."
He Yiming's power slowly recovered as Heaven and Earth's Qi continuously flowed into his body.
An Innate powerhouse and a Postnatal powerhouse were indeed on a different level.
Last time, after He Yiming used all his strength to strike, he immediately fainted. Moreover, it took several hours for him to slowly recover. This time, he only felt powerless and exhausted. At the same time, the power produced by the influx of Heaven and Earth's Qi was much faster than his recovery by using his inner energy.
At that moment, although he had not fully recovered, his movements were no longer hindered.
He Yiming carried Yuan Lixun and walked on the water as if he was flying. Soon, they arrived above the pool.
He let go of Yuan Lixun and glanced at her body. Suddenly, his face reddened. He coughed softly and said, "It's good that you're fine."
Yuan Lixun seemed to have thought of something. She looked at her body and could not help but open her mouth. However, she swallowed the shy scream that was about to come out.
Her clothes that were soaked in water were tightly clinging to her body, revealing her tall and well-proportioned, healthy and slender body. Looking at her body that was brimming with youthful vitality, even she herself was a little moved.
If there was anything he regretted, it would be that she was still young and had not fully developed in certain areas.
In her heart, a strange feeling suddenly welled up.
It shouldn't be a problem if he saw it …
Following this thought, a feeling of shyness arose. Her cheeks burned as if they were dyed with blood.
He Yiming said softly, "I'll go pick up some dry branches for the fire." In a slight movement, he had already left like the wind.
Given his strength, he only needed to walk around the forest outside for a while before he carried a large handful of dry branches and firewood into the canyon where there were few people.
From the beginning to the end, He Yiming did not look at the dead two-headed spirit beast's body again.
He finally understood that in his heart, the two-headed spirit beast was actually far less important than a certain woman.
※ ※ ※
The fire burned and emitted a warm heat, which also drove out the faint chill on Yuan Lixun's body.
Two hours later, He Yiming finally dried the two people's clothes in a flurry. Although their clothes were still wrinkled at the moment, it was a world of difference compared to before.
At this point, He Yiming asked, "Lixun, how did you get out of trouble?"
Yuan Lixun took the few pieces of clothes that He Yiming handed over and put them on happily.
Among the clothes that He Yiming handed over, the one that made her feel the most embarrassed was that there was an extra pair of underwear. Looking at the material of the underwear, it was the same as the underwear that he had forced her to wear earlier.
She immediately knew that He Yiming had taken it off from her.
Although she didn't know what this set of clothes was made of, she was still from a prestigious family. She tore it slightly with her hands and immediately knew that this thing was almost invulnerable. When she thought of He Yiming's thoughts, her heart naturally felt as if she had drunk honey, and it was sweet to the depths of her heart.
When she heard He Yiming's question, she answered without any hesitation, "Young Master, I wasn't attacked."
He Yiming was puzzled. "That's impossible, I saw it with my own eyes."
Yuan Lixun pursed her lips and smiled. She was overjoyed when she saw He Yiming's attitude toward her. "The spirit beast's breath was very strange. It seemed powerful, but it disappeared as soon as it touched me. It's like a silver candle."
Her face reddened when she said those words, and she stole a glance at He Yiming. She was relieved when she saw that he did not notice anything.
He Yiming scratched his head and furrowed his eyebrows. He had fought the two-headed spirit beast for a long time, thus he knew very well how fearsome it was. In particular, its breaths of two different attributes were extremely forceful, and they were considered the spirit beast's greatest trump cards.
Who knew, Yuan Lixun actually commented that it was only so-so, thus a monstrous wave rose in his heart.
After a long time, He Yiming asked in a deep voice, "Lixun, were you holding the giant white rock back then?"
"Yes." Yuan Lixun looked up and said, "Young Master, this giant rock is really interesting. It looks huge, but it's weightless, and it sank to the bottom when I pulled it."
He Yiming glanced at the pool and asked, "Where's the giant rock?"
"I placed it at the bottom of the pool, and after I pressed a few rocks on it, it couldn't float anymore," Yuan Lixun answered proudly.
He Yiming nodded. He already knew that the giant rock was the reason why the two-headed spirit beast's breaths were ineffective.
Nonetheless, the giant rock was indeed unimaginably queer. Not only could it block his clairaudience's miraculous effect, but it could also heal the spirit beast's wounds and energy. Now, he found out that it had a new function, which was to make the spirit beast's breaths ineffective.
With all these miraculous abilities gathered on a single stone, even the stupidest person would know that it was an unimaginably good item.
He Yiming pondered for a brief moment before he removed his clothes again and dived into the pool.
The pool was not very deep, but the water inside was rather cold, but it was still within a tolerable range for humans.
Not long after He Yiming made his move, he saw a white light in front of him. He swayed his legs and arrived next to the giant rock.
At this moment, there were a few average-sized ordinary rocks on top of the giant rock. There were some seaweed and soil on the rocks, and it was obvious that Yuan Lixun had casually picked them up from the bottom of the pool.
He Yiming hesitated for a while before he sank and walked into the white light.
All of a sudden, his eyes lit up because he realized that his spirit was lifted inside the white light. He even had a feeling that as long as he stood inside the white light forever, he would be able to maintain his exuberant energy.
He pondered for a long time in the water, then he finally brushed his hand to sweep away the rocks on top of the rock.
At once, the giant white rock slowly floated up. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author. Support the original reading!)
