86: Chapter 86 Fighting Side by Side

At this moment, Xing Yaoyan was certainly not idle.

She silently walked toward the four corpses lying on the ground. Following four crisp sounds, four spirit cores exuding an alluring Aura appeared in Xing Yaoyan's hands.

Kicking the four headless corpses at her feet aside, she then brought the spirit cores before her eyes to quietly examine them.

She would not make the same mistake twice.

"Little Chaos, I'm talking about you. If you hadn't suddenly advanced after eating the spirit cores of Liu Yan's bodyguards earlier, I probably wouldn't have been exposed so quickly. You still have the nerve to ask for food?"

Feeling the yearning voice coming from the Chaos Beast Star Soul in her spirit sea, Xing Yaoyan immediately retorted with annoyance.

She casually stored these four precious spirit cores into her storage space.

Because of the precedent with Little Chaos, she had a strong premonition: with these few spirit cores, there was a high probability she could directly step into the third rank.

However, her past life's human mindset remained the final line of defense against her consuming these spirit cores.

After all, they were dug out from human brains; unless it was an absolute last resort, she still didn't want to eat them directly to advance.

"Bang!"

A sound accompanied by spatial fluctuations came from the side. Without even turning her head, Xing Yaoyan instantly activated the Star Swallowing Art, her entire body emitting a dazzling golden light.

"Clang!"

She caught the bone blade with just one hand, letting it stop steadily less than an inch from the young man's nose.

Waiting for a moment, she then turned her head to look at the somewhat disheveled young man beside her.

In fact, she did this on purpose, wanting to see the look of relief on Qian Mo's face after escaping death.

But unfortunately, there was no emotional fluctuation on his face; even his previous smile had vanished.

Noticing her gaze, he then turned his head and gave her a faint smile.

"Thank you."

"Hmph..."

Xing Yaoyan snorted coldly, then transformed her claw into a fist, blasting the Bone Blade Star Beast, which hadn't fully adapted to the return of its strength, back more than a dozen meters.

"This Star Beast's ability is temporary intangibility, and it's very fast. We must find a way to pin it in place!"

Qian Mo quickly relayed the intelligence he had tested earlier using his Superpower to Xing Yaoyan.

"Also, the bone armor on its body is difficult to deal with. If there's an opportunity for me to land a full-force strike, I'll need at least two hits..."

By "two hits," Xing Yaoyan certainly meant two full-force strikes at her current level; as for the golden armor form, that was a different matter entirely.

"Um... actually, I can be the initiator of the finishing blow..."

The young man smiled somewhat shyly.

"No, just based on you..."

Xing Yaoyan's unspoken words were stuck in her throat.

She saw Qian Mo slowly pulling out half a bone blade from behind him, and on the hand holding the bone blade, golden patterns had appeared at some unknown time.

She saw him give it a gentle squeeze, and the bone blade shattered instantly like a hollow ice cube.

This was the first time Qian Mo had displayed his "Star Body" Superpower in front of an outsider.

Although this Superpower looked useless, after his intentional tests, he discovered that hitting people with this thing dealt true damage. Regardless of your defense, as long as the rank gap wasn't too large, he could break all techniques with a single punch.

Xing Yaoyan secretly swallowed her saliva.

She could clearly feel that the moment the golden patterns appeared on the young man's hand, that uncontrollable appetite struck directly at the nerves she called reason.

But fortunately, after such a long time of cultivation, she still had some patience...

Xing Yaoyan wiped away the drool that had slipped from the gap in her mask to her chin once again.

It's fine, I can hold it back...

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing... Then I will create an opportunity for you, and you will deal the final fatal blow to it."

"Okay."

Xing Yaoyan looked suspiciously at the fist the young man extended toward her.

"Fist bump? Happy to work together?"

Qian Mo said with a smile.

"Hmm..."

A large fist and a small fist collided, golden light and golden patterns reflecting off each other.

At this moment, everything from the past was no longer important; they were now teammates fighting side by side.

"Let's go!"

Xing Yaoyan rushed forward, leaving trails of afterimages in her path.

Qian Mo followed closely behind, one hand coated with black spiritual power, holding a dagger in a reverse grip; the other hand coated with golden patterns, clenched into a fist.

The human and the demon, one after the other, charged with a soaring Aura toward the center of the storm that was emitting powerful pressure.

"Roar!"

The Bone Blade Star Beast was clearly already prepared for Qian Mo's attacks; every time it saw him strike, it subconsciously dodged, and if it couldn't dodge, it would use temporary intangibility to avoid the attack.

Meanwhile, Xing Yaoyan, who was in the front, attracted the main firepower.

The bone blades flew up and down, carving sonic booms through the air.

Xing Yaoyan calmly responded to its every attack. Her hands, coated in golden light, were her best weapons; not only did they make her hands incredibly hard, but they could also occasionally absorb the Bone Blade Star Beast's Power Of Will during each collision, thereby replenishing herself.

But this Star Beast was, after all, a third-rank creature. Although it seemed to be suppressed by the two of them, in reality, it still had plenty of strength left in reserve.

The battle reached a stalemate.

"Hey! In a moment, I will expose a flaw; take the opportunity to inflict a wound on it!"

The wolf demon girl's voice suddenly transmitted into Qian Mo's ears.

This was the same kind of telepathy as Senior Hu Wang!

Qian Mo was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted.

"Hmm."

His response was simple and direct.

"Okay..."

After receiving the affirmative reply, Xing Yaoyan instantly changed her Move, deliberately exposing her shoulder beneath the Star Beast's bone blade.

The Bone Blade Star Beast thought she was exhausted and immediately grasped this opportunity, using its bone blade to instantly pierce through the wolf demon girl's shoulder.

At the same time, Qian Mo's fist had already slammed heavily into its shoulder. The bone armor on its shoulder instantly dented and shattered, with some bone fragments piercing into its skin, leaving a large patch of blood.

Although the young man had managed to hit it during the window when it couldn't use intangibility to attack, compared to the girl whose shoulder was pierced at this moment, this price was clearly not worth mentioning.

But soon, it didn't think so anymore.

A stone suddenly flew quickly past its eyes.

"Roar?"

Before it could react, the wolf demon girl, who had just been pierced in the shoulder by its bone blade, had actually teleported directly onto its shoulder. She wedged her feet into the gaps of the bone armor on its body, then thrust her jade-like hand, shrouded in golden light, fiercely into the wound on its chest.

The next moment, as the Star Swallowing Art operated at full power, a massive suction force instantly erupted from the hand Xing Yaoyan had thrust into its chest.

Although it couldn't drain it quickly, it would cause continuous disruption to its Power Of Will.

And as long as its Power Of Will was in chaos, it couldn't use any of the Star Beast's innate skills!

"Hurry! It can't use intangibility now!"

Before she could even remind him, Qian Mo had already keenly seized the opportunity, the golden patterns on his hand glowing to the extreme.

Because its internal Power Of Will was in chaos, and combined with the fact that Xing Yaoyan was intentionally thrusting further inward to deepen the wound, while her other hand was clamped onto its head, using Power Of Will to interfere with its perception.

At this moment, the defense on the surface of the Bone Blade Star Beast had clearly dropped to its lowest point.

"Pfft! Bang!"

A fist coated with golden patterns thrust in from the Bone Blade Star Beast's back and emerged from its chest; its heart had been completely blown apart by this punch.

"Boom~"

The Bone Blade Star Beast's lifeless body fell to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.

"Whew~"

Xing Yaoyan landed lightly on the ground, one hand clutching her injured shoulder, half-squatting on the ground, panting slightly.

"Beep beep beep!"

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

"No! It's not over yet!"

She looked up abruptly.

Above her head, countless red lights were flashing violently...
