#459 - Chapter 458: Killing the Beast

This was a demonic beast infinitely close to the Great Perfection of the Demon Core realm.

In terms of appearance, this beast was almost identical to the previous one, but the fleshy lump on its forehead was much larger. The biggest difference was in its tail. The previous beast's tail was no different from a snake's, but this beast's tail was forked, with barbs growing backward, flashing a ghostly blue light.

This beast hovered in the air, not attacking Zhang Yuanjing, but staring at him with fierce eyes.

At this moment, the sound of wind came from behind, and the previous beast attacked.

Zhang Yuanjing stirred up the Quicksand Formation, and then released Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast.

Ape Thirteen's task was, of course, to deal with the demonic beast approaching the Great Perfection of the Demon Core realm, while the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast joined him in dealing with the demonic beast trapped in the sand formation.

"Suanni Beast, I'll fight it, you find an opportunity to drag it into the illusion!"

Zhang Yuanjing erected an Earth Prison, trapping the beast, and then bombarded it with flying rocks.

Recently, he had been fully comprehending the Solidify and Stone Control techniques in the Eight Earth Techniques, and the earth walls he created were more solid, and the flying stones he released were more numerous and larger.

This beast was only in the early stage of the Demon Core realm. Faced with the rain of boulders, it had to continuously secrete the black liquid to thicken the armor on its scales.

However, dozens of five- or six-foot-sized stones fell one after another, still smashing the beast until it was dizzy and panting like a cow.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast saw an opportunity and darted over, releasing a cloud of cyan gas at the beast.

The beast was caught off guard and inhaled several mouthfuls. By the time it noticed, the poisonous gas had entered its stomach, and it felt dizzy and about to fall asleep.

It was shocked and roared loudly. Immediately, the late-stage Demon Core demonic beast that was fighting fiercely with Ape Thirteen also let out a sharp roar, its voice like thunder. It not only startled the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, but also woke up the early-stage Demon Core demonic beast.

A look of surprise appeared in Zhang Yuanjing's eyes. These two demonic beasts seemed to have some kind of connection in their minds, and they even knew how to encourage each other, which was a bit troublesome. However, he had already seen that Ape Thirteen had gained the upper hand in the battle against that beast.

So he said to the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, "It's okay, when Brother Ape kills that beast, it will be easier to deal with this beast!"

He threw the Armor-Piercing Axe and chopped it at the beast. At the same time, he turned his magical power and slightly gathered the Quicksand Formation to make it tighter. In this way, it was more convenient for the beast to contaminate the sand grains with the black liquid, but the consumption was also faster.

Zhang Yuanjing was just spending more magical power to continuously repair the Quicksand Formation.

After nearly a hundred breaths of time, under the siege of Zhang Yuanjing and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, this beast had become a little weak, and the secreted black liquid had obviously decreased.

Several times, this beast wanted to rush out of the sand formation and join the other beast, but it failed because it could not distinguish the direction.

Immediately, the two beasts changed their tactics. The beast trapped by Zhang Yuanjing simply curled up and hovered in the sand formation, no longer running around.

If the Armor-Piercing Axe came, it would not dodge, relying on its hard armor to resist. This beast was also quite clever, knowing that the more this axe missed, the more powerful it would be, so it simply did not give it a chance to accumulate power.

The Armor-Piercing Axe was certainly not so easy to deal with, but Zhang Yuanjing did not really want to kill it, so he was happy to consume it like this.

Every time the beast was chopped by the Armor-Piercing Axe, the armor on its body would be damaged, and it still needed to continuously repair it with black liquid.

On the other hand, the late-stage Demon Core demonic beast no longer fought Ape Thirteen in close combat, but used its flying advantage to circle around Ape Thirteen, and occasionally used the advantage of its long tail to whip it. Although the power was not great and could not break Ape Thirteen's protective golden light, it made it angry enough to yell and scream.

This late-stage Demon Core beast, with its forked tail, not only had many changes when flying, but also had a great advantage when attacking.

When a tail was whipped out, it seemed to be only one move, but when the tail fork split, there were several more changes. Several times, it deceived Ape Thirteen and gave it a solid blow, which naturally made it furious.

When Zhang Yuanjing saw this, these two beasts were actually playing a delaying tactic, probably wanting to consume Ape Thirteen, defeat it, and then turn around to deal with him and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast.

Since this was the case, he naturally could not let the two demonic beasts get their wish. He immediately pulled out the Heavy Earth Art Sword and launched a storm-like offensive against the early-stage Demon Core beast with the Earth Prison, supplemented by flying stones and the Armor-Piercing Axe.

The beast was smashed by a pile of boulders. In a panic, it was hit by the Armor-Piercing Axe, which had been accumulating power for a long time, in the lower abdomen, breaking open a wound more than three feet long and two inches deep. Fresh blood fell into the swamp like rain, dyeing a large area red.

It felt Zhang Yuanjing's killing intent and quickly opened its mouth and let out a shrill roar, as if calling its companion to come and save it.

The late-stage beast roared angrily, its aura suddenly erupted. Ignoring being hit by Ape Thirteen with a stick, it used a powerful tail strike to send it flying dozens of feet away. Then, its three pairs of fleshy wings vibrated, like lightning, heading straight for the sand formation.

The beast approached, but did not directly kill into the sand formation. Instead, it drew its long tail and struck the yellow sand.

A gust of wind blew, and a corner of the sand formation was immediately missing.

Zhang Yuanjing waved the Heavy Earth Art Sword and also used the Quicksand Technique on this beast. Immediately, yellow sand flew all over the sky, shrouding it inside.

At the same time, Zhang Yuanjing flashed and rushed into this sand formation, not even looking at where the beast was. He continuously used the Quicksand Technique to cover the space within a radius of twenty or thirty feet.

The early-stage demonic beast was seriously injured and did not know that Zhang Yuanjing had left, but it knew that the late-stage beast was nearby, so it roared hoarsely and flew outward.

Without Zhang Yuanjing's control, this sand formation began to dissipate. The early-stage beast rushed around a few times, and suddenly its eyes were clear. The swamp was under it, and it could not help but pause. Then, it swooped down, intending to hide in the mud.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed past from the side, bringing a gust of fishy wind. The demonic beast smelled it and felt extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if a stone was pressing on its brain, and it turned extremely slowly.

It wanted to roar for help, but its body did not obey its orders. Its mouth opened several times, but only opened a slit, making a whirring sound, like a sigh.

At this moment, the corner of its eye caught a glimpse of a golden figure approaching rapidly, followed by a dark long stick, which became larger and larger in its eyes.

"Bang!"

The sound and the severe pain came at the same time, and the beast's eyes went black, and it knew nothing.

This beast and the late-stage beast did have some kind of special connection. As soon as it died, that demonic beast went crazy, its whole body covered with black liquid, especially its tail.

"噼里啪啦!"

The demonic beast's long tail was like a whip, continuously making explosive sounds in the sand formation, destroying a large amount of yellow sand.

While Zhang Yuanjing repaired the sand formation, he called Ape Thirteen into the formation. This ape had a connection with him in his soul, and he did not need to deliberately point out the location. He could know the location of the demonic beast through his divine sense.

Zhang Yuanjing originally wanted to catch a live one, but now that the early-stage beast was killed by Ape Thirteen with a stick, and the remaining one was crazy, the difficulty of capturing it alive was too great. In order to avoid accidents, he let Ape Thirteen be ruthless.

Ape Thirteen raised the Heaven-Stirring Cudgel and used the cover of the yellow sand to launch a close-range strong attack on this late-stage beast.

Zhang Yuanjing tried his best to maintain the sand formation. If the formation was too loose, he would cast spells to repair it, always trapping this beast and preventing it from breaking out of the formation.

When Ape Thirteen attacked this beast, he would also condense earth walls to interfere with the beast's evasion.

After a fierce battle, this late-stage beast gradually lost its strength and was restricted in its five senses by the Quicksand Formation. Before long, it was killed by Ape Thirteen with a stick.
