239: Wang Cao: I have a sword that can move mountains
As the two got closer to the Yao Beast, they could see its appearance more clearly.
However, upon seeing the gigantic form of the Wolf Yao, both of them grew excited.
Wang Cao, in his excitement, flipped his wrist, and the bamboo strip in his hand traced a sword edge, transforming into a stream of light that struck the Yao Beast.
The Yao Beast felt a sharp pain and let out a piercing scream.
Seeing this, Celestial Honored One Wang unleashed several more attacks.
"Heaven and Earth United Sword."
"Qishe."
"Sword Drawing Technique."
"Slash."
Weng Qinghua, seeing the situation, tore off his blindfold, activating his Insight Eye.
Feeling the immense power emanating from the Yao Beast, Weng Qinghua didn't doubt that he could truly defeat this Late Stage refined Yao Beast.
More than that, like Wang Cao, he was excited by the Yao Beast.
Weng Qinghua ran his finger over his eyes: "Heh, a mere Yao Beast, under these eyes of mine, everything is an illusion!"
Celestial Honored One Wang and Weng Qinghua cooperated to attack the Yao Beast, while continuously spouting chuunibyo-like remarks.
"Hmph! How dare you step into the City, you have already courted death!"
"For all foolish things that obstruct our path, by our combined power, we shall bestow upon them equivalent destruction."
"Break."
"Slash."
Celestial Honored One Wang and Weng Qinghua cooperated with each other, their rapidly dancing swords cutting through the air with sharp sounds, creating a unique sense of urgency.
Half an hour passed as the two fought the Yao Beast, but the Yao Beast only sustained some superficial wounds, and Celestial Honored One Wang only suffered some minor injuries.
Weng Qinghua was in a worse state; several times he was hit squarely by the Yao Beast because he couldn't dodge in time.
For instance, right now, Celestial Honored One Wang was distracting the Yao Beast from the air, while Weng Qinghua used his Insight Eye to discern the Yao Beast's weakness for a sneak attack.
The result was that Weng Qinghua found a weakness, but the Yao Beast's reaction speed was too fast, and it directly kicked Weng Qinghua, sending him flying to the ground.
Seeing that the Yao Beast wasn't paying attention to him, Wang Cao raised his hand and brought his blade down, sword lights flashing, unleashing his ultimate move, finally inflicting a fatal wound on the Yao Beast.
However, nearly an hour had passed since the two started fighting the Yao Beast, yet they still hadn't killed it.
Celestial Honored One Wang glanced at Weng Qinghua's position, seeing that he wasn't getting up.
Worried that Weng Qinghua might have been killed by the Yao Beast, he went to Weng Qinghua's side and only then realized that his eyes were now filled with fear.
Weng Qinghua looked at the Yao Beast not far away and said in a low tone, "No, we can't defeat the Yao Beast. If this continues, we'll die."
Wang Cao silently looked at Weng Qinghua and patted his shoulder.
Standing in front of him, he looked at the Yao Beast with resolute eyes.
"I will not retreat, even if it means death, I will not retreat."
"Behind us is the City, and our parents are inside. If we run, what will happen to them!"
"Who is this Lord! This Lord is a Sword Immortal! A mere Yao Beast, die for me!!"
"At worst, this Lord will wear it down to death, or even perish with it. In short, I will not retreat!"
After speaking, Wang Cao got up and continued to fight the Yao Beast.
Weng Qinghua looked at Wang Cao's back, and Wang Cao's words just now moved him.
This kid, he really put on a cool show.
He looked so cool just now.
Wiping the blood from his face, the fear in his eyes had receded, replaced only by the belief that he would defeat the Yao Beast before him.
The two fought for an unknown duration, their bodies no longer showing any intact areas, and their Spiritual Qi gradually depleted.
Clinging to a single belief, they refused to give up. Finally, when Weng Qinghua discovered the Yao Beast's weakness again, the two combined their strength and killed the Yao Beast.
Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua lay exhausted on the ground, likely not even having the strength to move a finger...
At this moment, the entire street was mostly ruined, and even the walls of some shops had cracks or holes.
This battle could be said to be the most difficult one Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua had ever fought.
But it must be said, they won!
Above the sky, Li Mu looked at this scene, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. He nodded in satisfaction at the growth of the two.
Originally, Li Mu had thought that if the two couldn't deal with this Yao Beast, he might step in to save them. Now it seemed unnecessary.
The two's growth speed was quite good.
In the future, perhaps he could make some special arrangements for them...
On the other side.
Jin Meiting and Lan Kun, covered in dirt, cautiously watched the Spirit Beast before them.
It had pure white fur, only its nose tip was black, its forehead was narrow, its snout pointed, its ears round, and its tail was bushy with a white tip.
A white fox.
Jin Meiting accidentally discovered this white fox Spirit Beast, and immediately wanted to take it as her mount.
However, Jin Meiting also knew that to make this white fox Spirit Beast her mount, she first had to defeat it into submission.
The human and the fox fought for a long time, and Jin Meiting gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At a critical moment, Lan Kun's join in changed the tide of the battle.
When the white fox realized it couldn't defeat the two, it tried to escape, but the two immediately surrounded it from front and back, completely blocking its path.
The white fox looked at Jin Meiting with disdain, as if saying, 'You can't win, so you call for help.'
Finally, with Lan Kun's help, Jin Meiting successfully subdued the white fox.
During the fight with the white fox, Jin Meiting's Spiritual Qi almost completely dried up.
Fortunately, the Mythical Continent's most abundant resources were Spiritual Qi and various Spiritual Plants.
Jin Meiting picked up a Spiritual Plant and recuperated for a moment before continuing on their journey with Lan Kun.
As dusk gradually fell, the forest at night was always exceptionally dangerous.
Everyone had no choice but to return to the camp.
The first to return were Hu Bingbing and Qin Zhe's group. The two didn't encounter any Spirit Beasts. Qin Zhe killed many Yao Beasts, while Hu Bingbing was solely focused on fishing.
Next were Lan Kun and Jin Meiting's group, and their harvest was quite bountiful.
Lan Kun, with Jin Meiting's help, subdued a Spirit Beast.
Its head was long, its ears erect, its neck thick and powerful, its teeth sharp, and its tail thick and bushy.
A Wolf King.
If it weren't for the white fox subdued by Jin Meiting, it's uncertain if they would have returned unscathed after subduing the Wolf King today.
Finally, Xin Mulan returned.
Xin Mulan slowly led the Celestial Dog back to the camp.
The others were initially curious about what Xin Mulan was leading, and then they looked closely.
Good heavens.
You're actually leading a Spirit Beast like a dog, how can that be?
Everyone started chattering.
Qin Zhe: "Holy cow, it's really you, Xin Mulan. Only you could lead a Spirit Beast like a dog."
Xin Mulan: "Oh, you flatter me. I'm getting embarrassed with such praise."
Lan Kun: "666, it has to be you."
Jin Meiting: "What kind of Spirit Beast is that? It's not really a dog, is it?!"
Xin Mulan: "I don't know. I fought this stupid dog for three days and three nights. Of course, two of those days were purely spent beating this stupid dog because I found it annoying."
The others all gave Xin Mulan a thumbs up.
They could clearly feel that this dog's strength was definitely very high.
But they never expected that Xin Mulan, this girl, had beaten it for several days and nights. Had this girl's strength improved again?!
Hu Bingbing, who was nearby, finally snapped out of her thoughts about how to fish.
Hu Bingbing: "Xin Mulan, this dog looks quite silly and cute, it really suits you."
Hu Bingbing looked at the Spirit Beasts everyone else had brought out, then glanced at Qin Zhe.
Good heavens.
It seems only the two of us don't have one.
I'm the clown after all...
