Chapter 287: The Beast of Stubbornness

“What’s wrong with Zhanyue? Has his brain broken? Why does he keep crashing into the beetle’s horn?” Yunyao watched from behind with a face full of confusion, her beautiful eyes filled with questions. Then, she flapped her wings and soared high, joining the battlefield.

Zhanyue was engaging from the front, so she planned to pincer attack from the rear. However, when she approached the giant rhinoceros beetle, she had a new idea. This bug didn’t look a bit formidable. There was no need for sneak attacks or pincer attacks. Directly breaking through it would give her a sense of accomplishment.

Without much thought, Yunyao also came to the front and followed Zhanyue in launching an attack on the rhinoceros beetle’s giant horn.

“Sword Light Condensing Star!” Yunyao unleashed another sword technique. Terrifying sword energy gathered into a single point, aiming to break through in one go and destroy the enemy. However, that giant beetle horn was made of who-knows-what material. Such a terrifying sword technique actually didn’t cause the slightest damage to it.

“I don’t believe it!” Zhanyue, holding the Heaven Punishing Demon Sword and wearing the Silver Moon Armor, which was now a flaming red color, had countless tentacles growing out from the armor. It was an ability obtained from the fear demon beast’s blood. These tentacles directly entangled the giant beetle horn, preventing it from moving around. Then, a large amount of Three Talents Wondrous Fire enveloped the giant horn.

Unfortunately, this demon beast wasn’t the lust beast. Even the Three Talents Wondrous Fire didn’t cause it any damage.

The two people and one bug fought for a long time. That giant bug seemed to never know fatigue. But Zhanyue and Yunyao couldn’t hold on anymore. However, the two of them didn’t even think about retreating at all, as if they wouldn’t stop until they killed this giant bug.

Time ticked by bit by bit. The two of them had used almost all their techniques, but this giant beast’s horn seemed to be the most solid thing in the world, not suffering any damage at all. Zhanyue even felt that his hands were sore and he had some difficulty gripping his sword, but he never thought of backing down. He couldn’t accept it. This bug clearly wasn’t powerful, so why couldn’t he take it down?

At this moment, Zhanyue and Yunyao also regained their senses. Their spiritual energy was nearly exhausted. They hurriedly retrieved the divine artifact and quickly fled. That bug closely chased after them, but when it chased to a certain place in this desert, it couldn’t continue forward. It was still bound by the seal.

“Let’s not force it. Next time, let’s still rely on the divine artifacts to defeat it,” Yunyao suggested.

Zhanyue nodded. As Yunyao said before, with their current state of mind, they really couldn’t resist the influence of that demon beast. Without relying on divine artifacts, the battle would probably be the same as before. They would frantically attack the Beast of Stubbornness’ toughest horn until death, not even realizing their own problems. This was the scariest part.

“The seven demon beasts... indeed none of them are easy to deal with.” The two of them adjusted their breathing for a long time. When their strength was fully recovered, they once again sought out the terrifying giant bug in the desert.

“Our disciple Fan Longyu’s final aura disappeared within your Kingdom of Rising Sun’s borders. We want to know if you have any clues,” one of the four said.

“Fan Longyu... died?” The king of the Kingdom of Rising Sun’s eyes trembled. He had naturally heard of this Human Race genius’ great name and finally understood why these four seniors were so enraged. But wasn’t he suffering an unjust calamity? How would he know that Fan Longyu would die within his country’s borders? Although he had the strength to kill Fan Longyu, he wasn’t stupid and wouldn’t dare to either.

“Four seniors, please see clearly. In the Kingdom of Rising Sun, there are probably only five people who can kill Fan Longyu. However, these five people have absolutely no reason to. I’ve been in seclusion the entire time. The Wind Lord isn’t here, and his sister wouldn’t leave the church either. As for the other two powerhouses of the Kingdom of Rising Sun... they are on the verge of death, falling into a deep slumber. They wouldn’t appear unless the country was facing the danger of being destroyed.” The king of the Kingdom of Rising Sun didn’t lie and was even very sincere. He said everything he knew, even some secrets of his own country. “The one who killed Fan... Longyu may not be from my Kingdom of Rising Sun. I ask the seniors to see clearly.”

The four of them looked at each other. They naturally knew that Fan Longyu dying within the Kingdom of Rising Sun didn’t mean it was done by someone from the Kingdom of Rising Sun. They were just taking out their anger on others. They came here just to probe a bit. They didn’t expect Mu Chenge to be so cooperative. As he said, within the Kingdom of Rising Sun, only five people could kill a top genius like Fan Longyu, but these five people should all be free of suspicion.

Just at this moment, one of the four people’s nose moved. His innate talent was extraordinary. He could smell many things that ordinary people couldn’t. Then, his eyes suddenly changed!

“Villain! You still dare to quibble! My disciple died at your hands!” That person stared at Mu Chenge, killing intent surging!
