"Roar roar …"
This crimson-furred spirit beast resembled a lion, but it wasn't one. Its head resembled that of a dragon, and its claws were extremely powerful. The spikes on its claws were close to 10 centimeters long, which was why it was able to dismember Han Shao with a single strike. Seeing that Lin Muyu was charging toward it, the beast let out an enraged roar and pounced toward her.
"Roar!"
It leaped into the air and unleashed the same attack, swiping its sharp claws toward Lin Muyu's neck.
However, Lin Muyu wasn't Han Shao. She had a total of four layers of defense: Black Tortoise Shell, Dragon Scale Wall, Azure Rock Armor, and Battle Armor. The beast's claws quickly landed on the Black Tortoise Shell, and it instantly shattered with a resounding thump. However, Lin Muyu didn't miss such a golden opportunity. She raised her sword with both hands and swept it horizontally, the blade of her sword imbued with the power of True Dragon Essence Flame and First Light of Dawn!
"Splat …"
The Dragon Spirit Sword only managed to leave two gashes on the beast's front legs. Golden blood continued to drip onto the snow like scorching lava, quickly melting away all the snow within a meter of it.
"Roar roar …"
The beast let loose another enraged roar and stomped its hind legs into the ground, leaping up like lightning again. This time, it actually split its claws into two and tore apart the Dragon Scale Wall and Azure Rock Armor. It then opened its mouth and bit down toward Lin Muyu's neck. It was simply too powerful for Lin Muyu to take on, and she was forced to use her Falling Star Steps to roll down the snow.
"Slap!"
The beast bit down on the ground, but it didn't even turn around. Instead, it swept its tail through the air like an iron whip, and there was no way Lin Muyu could evade it. She let out a muffled groan as the whip struck her back, and she immediately felt a scorching pain. This beast could almost break through the defenses of her battle armor with just its tail. Thankfully, she was wearing her battle armor. Otherwise, that attack would've definitely fractured Lin Muyu's spine, and she would've been in deep trouble.
"Save the lord, hurry up!"
Xiahou Sang charged over with his steel saber. Lin Muyu rolled away, but she raised her hand and used her calabash vines to entangle the beast. Huge clumps of calabash vines broke through the ground and bound the beast tightly. At the same time, she shouted, "Xiahou Sang, retreat! No one is allowed to go forward. Wei Chou, shoot its eyes!"
"Yes!"
Wei Chou did not dare to rashly release the arrow. He tightened the bowstring, still waiting for the right opportunity.
At this time, Lin Muyu also hastily and forcibly condensed the Black Tortoise Shell and Dragon Scale Wall. However, because it was the second time, their strength was far less than before. The Dragon Spirit Sword suddenly flew out, and with the spiraling piercing power of the True Dragon Essence Fire, it directly smashed into the Mad Beast's abdomen. That should also be its weak point, right?
"Peng!"
With a loud explosion, the Dragon Spirit Sword did not disappoint. It drilled a hole in the Mad Beast's abdomen, and golden blood spurted out. However, before the wound could be torn open, the Mad Beast raised its head and roared angrily. A powerful shockwave appeared, directly repelling the Dragon Spirit Sword. At the same time, it also shattered the calabash vines.
Lin Muyu opened her hand and controlled the Dragon Spirit Sword from afar. At the same time, her left hand reached out and took out the Demonic Noise Saber. Dou qi swirled around her as she slashed out.
"Roar!"
The Mad Beast did not show any mercy. It directly used its scalp to block the Demonic Noise Saber. With a "dang" sound, the Demonic Noise Saber was blasted away. However, only some skin on the top of its head was sliced open. Its head was really hard.
Seeing the Mad Beast charging at her, Lin Muyu did not retreat. She suddenly pulled back her right hand, her face full of anger. The surrounding space instantly distorted, and numerous celestial constellations appeared on the snowy ground. In response to Lin Muyu's summon, they all attached themselves to the power of her fist. She directly punched out at the Mad Beast!
Four Luminaries Demon Cry!
"Boom!"
A shockwave of Dou Qi instantly exploded, causing the snow within a radius of several tens of meters to fly into the air. Lin Muyu was actually forced to retreat, and her entire right arm was numb.
However, this Mad Beast was actually only injured after receiving the power of the Fourth Luminaries. It slightly bent its body, and once again soared into the sky. It opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Lin Muyu's neck.
She could not let her neck be bitten, or she would die without a doubt!
After using the Fourth Luminaries, Lin Muyu's body was already suffering from the backlash of the Seven Luminaries Profound Energy. How could she dodge? She could only turn her body in an instant, and the Mad Beast's bite landed on her shoulder. With a "puchi" sound, those sharp teeth bit through her shoulder armor, and fresh blood spurted out. The long teeth slowly pierced into Lin Muyu's flesh, and an intense pain quickly spread throughout her body and soul.
Enduring the intense pain, Lin Muyu reached out and grabbed the handle of the Dragon Spirit Sword. From the side, she pressed the Dragon Spirit Sword against the Mad Beast's abdomen, and with a "pu" sound, she pushed it in. Moreover, she continued to exert force, and the Dragon Spirit Sword quickly sank into the Spirit Beast's body, all the way to the hilt!
It was also at this moment, with the "peng" sound of an arrow leaving the bowstring, the Mad Beast on Lin Muyu's shoulder suddenly trembled, and immediately let go of Lin Muyu's shoulder. It howled miserably, and an invisible poisonous arrow entered its eyes. It was none other than Wei Chou who had shot this arrow.
"Roar roar …"
The Mad Beast retreated continuously, broke free from the Dragon Spirit Sword, and quickly ran backwards. When Wei Chou wanted to shoot it again, he discovered that the Mad Beast had leaped up, and its body glowed with a golden light as it disappeared into the air, leaving only a trail of blood on the snowy ground.
… …
"Ah …"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but let out a miserable howl. Her face was ashen as she fell to the snowy ground, and a sharp pain came from her shoulder. Fortunately, the Mad Beast's mouth wasn't bigger, or else its teeth might have touched her heart. At that time, even a deity wouldn't be able to save her.
"Milord!"
Xiahou Sang hurriedly went forward to support Lin Muyu, but her eyes were looking around, and she shouted: "Be on guard!"
The other two Imperial Guards' faces were already filled with shock. They had never seen a fight like this before. The most brutal fight between humans and wild beasts couldn't be more brutal than this, right?
Lin Muyu trembled as she took out two bottles of healing medicine, and quickly poured them on her wounds. At the same time, she took off her shoulder armor, and said with a pale face: "What the hell is this thing? I've never seen it before … "
In fact, Lin Muyu had been "conquering" for so many years, but she had never seen this kind of monster on any map.
On the other hand, Wei Chou frowned and said: "It's the Heaven Beast, the legendary hunter."
"Heaven Beast?" Xiahou Sang was stunned.
Wei Chou nodded: "That's right, I've seen the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas. The Heaven Beast is probably one of the species at the top of the food chain, and its status is comparable to that of a real dragon. Its greatest ability is to use the power of light to create a blinding effect, which is what we saw just now. It can turn invisible and hide its breath to launch a sneak attack. Since ancient times, countless peerless masters have died under the sneak attack of the Heaven Beast in the Dragon-seeking Forest, and many of them were Sanctuary powerhouses. Therefore, the Heaven Beast has another name, which is' Hunter '. Milord, we've been targeted by the Heaven Beast this time, and the odds are against us …"
Lin Muyu was stunned, and said: "Didn't it leave with injuries just now?"
There was a trace of fear in Wei Chou's eyes as he said: "I'm afraid that's not the case. The Heaven Beast is a natural revenant. As long as it targets its enemy, it will definitely not stop until they die. Even if it's injured, it will definitely come back again. We … we should leave this place quickly, the further the better. Maybe because of its injuries, it can spare our lives."
Lin Muyu also felt that she couldn't fight anymore, so she nodded and said: "Then Han Shao's corpse …"
"Don't worry about it anymore."
Wei Chou said lightly: "Han Shao was an imperial guard, and he was ready to sacrifice himself for Ze Tian Palace at any time. This time, he died in the line of duty, and his soul belongs to his honor. We can't lose our lives just to collect his corpse. That would be an unwise move. Moreover, you are the Emperor's godson, and all the more you can't die in a place like this. Although it's very difficult for us …"
"Alright, stop talking. Let's go quickly."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu mounted her horse with difficulty and looked around with an ashen face. The Heaven Beast was a natural hunter, and her Spirit Pulse Technique had already lost its effect under the Heaven Beast's concealment ability. Just as Wei Chou said, staying here and entangling with the Heaven Beast was no different from courting death.
She abruptly whipped the warhorse, and it quickly galloped away in the snow.
Everyone's mood was extremely heavy. They originally thought they had easily completed their mission, but they didn't expect to be targeted by an evil beast like the Heaven Beast right before they left. It was hard to say whether they would live or die.
While running wildly, Wei Chou said: "I saw clearly just now that this Heaven Beast has a lifespan of 13,400 years. It can be said to be a divine beast. We're already very lucky to be able to injure it, so we should go as far as we can …"
"More than 10,000 years?" Xiahou Sang was speechless.
Wei Chou faintly smiled: "The Heaven Beast's predecessor was a Moonoccultation Beast, a legendary spirit beast that can absorb moonlight. Therefore, wherever there is a Moonoccultation Beast, there is no moonlight. When a Moonoccultation Beast cultivates for more than 10,000 years, it will undergo a tribulation transformation and evolve into a Heaven Beast. According to the Myriad Beast Atlas, Heaven Beasts are rarely seen in the world. I really don't know if we're lucky or just unlucky for eight lifetimes …"
Lin Muyu's mood was heavy, and her expression was solemn. She kept circulating the Dragon Forging Bone Remnant Scroll to speed up the healing of her injuries. At this time, she had another ominous premonition. He felt that something was staring at them. That's right, he had the same feeling before. It seemed that the power provided by the Spirit Pulse Technique had become an instinct. He could sense that the Heaven Beast was staring at them, but he didn't know where it was.
Perhaps Lin Muyu also had an unshirkable responsibility for Han Shao's death.
… …
At this moment, Lin Muyu felt true fear. He could even feel the Heaven Beast's contempt and determination toward him. It wanted to devour his soul and flesh. This was the feeling the Heaven Beast gave him.
A few minutes later, Lin Muyu narrowed her eyes, and her entire body suddenly brimmed with a murderous aura.
If they didn't kill the Heaven Beast, how could they face Han Shao's spirit in heaven!
