344: Fierce Battle
Its thick front legs lifted high, bringing down immense force towards Su Han. The barbs on its legs gleamed with cold light, like a dense forest of knives.
Su Han reacted quickly, stomping his feet hard on the ground. His body retreated rapidly like a black lightning bolt, avoiding this deadly blow.
The Monster's leg smashed heavily onto the ground. A deep pit was instantly created, and the surrounding dirt flew up.
Taking advantage of the gap while the Monster attacked Su Han, Bi Yao tightly gripped the burning branch in both hands and rushed towards the Monster's eyes.
Her eyes held determination. Although fear surged like a tide in her heart, she disregarded her own safety to help Su Han.
The Monster noticed Bi Yao approaching. A hint of disdain flashed in its blood-red eyes. It suddenly swung its huge head, its thick, tree-trunk-like neck driving its flat, broad head to sweep towards Bi Yao.
Bi Yao's heart jumped. It was too late to dodge, so she could only instinctively use the branch in her hand to block.
With a "bang," Bi Yao was sent flying by the enormous force. Her body arced through the air and landed heavily on the ground. The branch in her hand also flew out and was extinguished nearby.
Seeing this, Su Han was burning with anxiety. He brandished the long sword in his hand like a silver light curtain and charged towards the Monster, attempting to attract its attention and buy Bi Yao some time to recover.
The Monster was indeed attracted by Su Han's attack. It let out another deafening roar, its six legs moving quickly as it pounced towards Su Han.
Its speed was extremely fast, and the strong wind it generated made Su Han's clothes flap loudly.
Su Han seized the opportunity. He leaped high into the air, raised the long sword above his head, gathered all his strength, and chopped down towards the Monster's head.
With a loud "clang," sparks flew everywhere. The long sword struck the Monster's hard head but only left a shallow mark.
The recoil force made Su Han's arm numb, and he nearly couldn't hold the sword.
However, the Monster became even more furious because of this attack. It opened its gaping maw and bit towards Su Han.
Su Han quickly dodged sideways. The Monster's fangs grazed past his clothes, and a putrid stench assailed him, making Su Han feel like vomiting.
Taking advantage of the Monster's missed attack, while its body hadn't fully stabilized, Su Han swiftly thrust out the long sword in his hand, aiming for the Monster's neck.
The Monster's reaction was also extremely fast. It retracted its neck and simultaneously swept one of its front legs towards Su Han.
Helpless, Su Han could only give up the attack and retreat again to dodge.
At this moment, Bi Yao had struggled to get up from the ground. A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and her face became paler, but her eyes were still firm.
She looked around and found a sharp stone on the ground. Her heart stirred, and she bent down to pick it up.
She knew her strength was limited and she couldn't confront the Monster head-on like Su Han. She could only look for opportunities to launch a sneak attack.
The Monster seemed to sense that Bi Yao was active again. While continuing to contend with Su Han, it kept an eye on Bi Yao's movements with its peripheral vision.
Su Han seized the moment the Monster was distracted and unleashed his most skilled sword technique. Sword shadows flickered, dazzling the eyes.
The Monster was forced to retreat repeatedly by the fierce sword technique. Several wounds had appeared on its body, and black blood flowed from the wounds, dripping onto the ground with a "sizzling" sound, corroding the surrounding land.
Taking advantage of the moment the Monster was restrained by Su Han, Bi Yao crouched down and quickly approached the Monster.
Her footsteps were light, and she tried her best not to make any sound, so as not to attract the Monster's attention.
When she was just a few steps away from the Monster, she suddenly straightened up and threw the stone in her hand towards the Monster's eyes with all her might.
With a "whoosh," the stone flew towards the Monster with the sound of wind. By the time the Monster noticed, it was too late to dodge. The stone accurately hit its left eye.
The Monster let out a painful howl that echoed through the night sky. Black blood gushed from its left eye, and the eyeball was instantly smashed.
The Monster went completely mad. Disregarding Su Han's attacks, its six legs frantically lunged towards Bi Yao's direction. It wanted to tear the person who injured its eye into ten thousand pieces.
Su Han was greatly alarmed. He charged towards the Monster with all his might, swinging the long sword in his hand wildly, trying to stop the Monster.
