Divine Beast Adventures

Chapter 352: Combination Play, Slaying Epic Beast

Edited by Aelryinth

The Earthen Rock Demon not wanting to go all out against Zhang Che had given him an opportunity.

When it was only a couple dozen meters above him, Zhang Che no longer hesitated. A surge of killing intent rose in him. A scarlet streak of light shot out from his brows, flying straight towards the Earthen Rock Demon’s neck.

Looking over the whole of the Earthen Rock Demon’s body, it seemed like its neck was where its defense was the weakest.

It couldn’t be helped; the fellow was too massive. It stood about fifty meters tall, like a mini mountain. Not only that, its whole body was made of thick, dense rock. Where would he find a real weakness?

At the same time, another streak of light, this one five-colored, shot out. The Horned Electric Python was in Zhang Che’s hand, sending a bolt of lightning at the Earthen Rock Demon.

Lightning elemental attacks had a natural advantage when it came to speed!

Before the scarlet sword could reach the Earthen Rock Demon, the lightning had struck its house-sized head.

Crackle! Countless snakes of lightning dispersed across the Earthen Rock Demon’s head.

However, this exotic beast’s body was different from the others. The lightning attack didn’t do any damage to it at all, only causing a thin layer of powder to fall from its head.

Although it wasn’t hurt, the Earthen Rock Demon felt like its dignity was being challenged. That diamond-like single eye on its head emitted a furious glint.

That wasn’t a glint of rage, but a sign of the Earthen Rock Demon activating its skill!

Zhang Che immediately sensed it, and he quickly laid down against the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back tightly, ordering the dragon to slither as best as he could.

Kacha! A loud noise rang out. At the moment the Earthen Rock Demon unleashed its skill, the scarlet sword slashed down violently at its pillar-like neck, drawing a deep gash on it.

Large pieces of rock fell. A dense aura of earth came flooding out of the wound.

-This… is probably the Earthen Rock Demon’s blood?-

Zhang Che didn’t have time to think about this, because sharp rock spikes covered with a layer of deep earth-yellow light suddenly rose from the ground.

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! Loud noises rang out one after another. The rock spikes pierced the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s abdomen, shattering the length of his crystallized body. His slim body was instantly broken into multiple sections.

This terrifying Earth Spike skill had easily smashed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s body to pieces. Abyssal cold aura gushed out madly, barely keeping his head from shattering, and he fell to the ground along with Zhang Che.

Although the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon possessed an undying body of abyssal cold, an attack of such degree still felt terrible. Without a certain amount of time, he wouldn’t recover.

Left without a choice, Zhang Che could only recall the broken sections of the dragon’s body into his spiritual sea. Afterwards, while resisting the heavy gravity field, he started running on his own.

“Now, I only have to worry about that guy’s Lightning Rock Spear attack!”

Zhang Che believed that as long as he withstood the Earthen Rock Demon’s second skill, the epic-quality exotic beast would basically be unable to do a thing against him.

After all, although that fellow was big and tall, it wasn’t fast. Its agility was lacking, too. Despite Zhang Che being affected by the gravity field, it wouldn’t be easy for the exotic beast to catch up to him.

Just as the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was severely wounded by the Earthen Rock Demon’s Earth Spike skill, the scarlet sword launched another attack, slashing the mid-tier epic-quality exotic beast’s neck a second time. Another bunch of rocks fell down.

The Earthen Rock Demon finally felt threatened. It quickly raised its arms, swinging them about like windmills, trying to strike down the scarlet sword.

However, the scarlet sword was swift as lightning, and nimble as a fish in water under Zhang Che’s direction. How could the clumsy fellow possibly hit it?

Kacha! The scarlet sword struck the Earthen Rock Demon’s neck for the third time…

More elemental aura gushed out from the wound on the Earthen Rock Demon’s neck. It looked just like dirty yellow blood was spattering.

Perhaps, for the Earthen Rock Demon, that was its blood!

The mid-tier epic-quality exotic beast finally realized it was only possible for it to neutralize the threat of the scarlet sword by eliminating Zhang Che.

As such, it no longer paid attention to the annoying scarlet sword flying around it like a fly. Instead, it strode forward with long steps, chasing after Zhang Che, who was lingering about a hundred meters away from it.

Every step this fellow took would cover thirty meters of ground. It could catch up to Zhang Che with just a few steps.

However, Zhang Che was running slyly in an S-shaped path. Every time the Earthen Rock Demon was about to catch up to him, he would veer off to the side, leaving it no choice but to slow down and turn to continue chasing him.

Looking down from the sky, Zhang Che was like a nimble grasshopper, while the Earthen Rock Demon was a big clumsy man chasing after that grasshopper. Although it was larger than him by countless times, it just couldn’t catch up to Zhang Che.

During all this, Zhang Che could direct the scarlet sword through the golden vortex, slashing at the Earthen Rock Demon’s neck time after time, gradually expanding the wound there.

-It’d be great if I could control both the swords to attack at the same time. I would be able to slay this Earthen Rock Demon in the shortest time possible…-

Although the scarlet sword could penetrate the Earthen Rock Demon’s defense, the fellow was too huge. Zhang Che wasn’t sure if he could last until the end.

Just as the thought flashed through Zhang Che’s head, the Earthen Rock Demon suddenly stopped in place. A dense dirty yellow light suddenly rose from the ground, rising along its huge body. In the end, it condensed into a huge spear in his hand almost entirely golden in color.

Zhang Che felt a chill in his heart. He quickly leapt to the side on reflex, and rolled twice on the ground.

There was an explosion at his side. An unstoppable force slammed against Zhang Che’s back, directly sending him flying a few dozen meters ahead.

Although the Purple Crystal Armor absorbed most of the damage, Zhang Che still felt like he was dying. Nearly half his bones were broken, and his organs seemed to have shifted positions, too.

He suddenly opened his mouth, coughing up a mouthful of blood, but it was covered by his helmet, and ended up splashing over his face.

-I’m going to kill it!- Zhang Che yelled inside. He knew he had arrived at the most dangerous moment!

In his spiritual sea, the golden vortex suddenly accelerated, emitting a resplendent golden light.

In the next moment, the white sword originally swimming in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea suddenly rushed out, emerging between his brows and flew to the scarlet sword in the air at lightning speed, joining together. The two intertwined, turning into a mass of scarlet white light, and circled once around the Earthen Rock Demon’s neck.

The Earthen Rock Demon was chasing after Zhang Che a short distance behind him, and had its leg reached out, intending to turn Zhang Che into meat paste with a stomp. It suddenly stopped moving.

A neat gash suddenly appeared around the Earthen Rock Demon’s neck. A mass of extremely dense earth elemental aura rose to the sky, gushing out from its head.

The Earthen Rock Demon’s headless body was like a collapsing mountain, suddenly falling away. Before it hit the ground, it had turned into a rainbow streak of light.

Its fallen head had turned into a streak of light at the same time. It quickly fell, gathering into the larger mass of light, and condensed into a rainbow card in the end, floating down to the ground from a few dozen meters in the sky.

At the crucial moment, Zhang Che aroused the golden vortex’s powerful energy and employed both swords at the same time. The swords combined into one, slaying the Earthen Rock Demon with a single slash.

This was Zhang Che’s first slaying of an epic-quality exotic beast in the truest sense, a historic moment!
