This monster’s physical toughness was incredibly shocking. Despite the numerous “Coagulated Sword” attacks that Qin Wushuang had shot at it, it only left light marks upon its flesh.
Such outrageous defense was much more terrifying than Luo Zhan’s.
Qin Wushuang floated in the middle of the air and looked at this monster with astonishment. He could now see clearly that this monster had a bulky waist, a massive head and a row of jagged teeth like objects growing on its back. Lone was a spiritual beast with ferocious appearance, but compared to this monster, Lone had to step down gracefully.
Although this monster had an astonishing physical defense, it came at the price of some of its mobility. Especially when facing Qin Wushuang with the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, this monster could only defend with all of its effort. It was incapable of unleashing thirty percent of its valiant attacks.
This battle was similar to the one with Luo Zhan. This monster had become Qin Wushuang’s target for experiments. Thus, he started to unleash different methods and use the beast to perfect his skills.
Such battle would be ideal for enhancing Qin Wushuang’s development. Firsty, it allowed Qin Wushuang to combine his own unique battle traits with the Purple Ying Yang Clouds and acquire a marvelous upgrade in terms of his battle skills. This upgrade would allow him to act with ease when facing an elite warrior of the Profound Void Martial Stage.
To a warrior at the Refined Void Martial Stage, it was unimaginable for them to confront a Profound Void Martial Stage warrior straightforwardly. However, Qin Wushuang had used the advantage of the Purple Ying Yang Cloud Wings and turned the impossible into possible!
Currently, Qin Wushuang was polishing his own comprehensive battle strength. He would, under the necessary circumstance, use less or outright avoid using the Graceful Spiritual Bow. He aimed to become independent from the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
Of course, this was not because Qin Wushuang was being pretentious. By using less of the Graceful Spiritual Bow, he would prefer to unleash the bow’s fullest potential in the most crucial moments and allow his own potential to be fully extracted. If he were to use the Graceful Spiritual Bow in every battle, in the long term, certainly it would limit his overall combat strength. This was not something Qin Wushuang wanted to encounter.
Therefore, ever since he had killed Luo Ting, Qin Wushuang took the initiative to fight in close quarters battles. Apparently, he intended to increase his own strength as to avoid focussing all his trump cards on the Graceful Spiritual Bow and those sealed spiritual beasts.
Although those spiritual beasts were useful, in the end, they were just aids. During the martial artist training path, the core component was to keep enhancing one’s own strength!
Qin Wushuang joyfully immersed himself into this battle. Presently, he felt that he was only facing an elite warrior of the Refined Void Martial Stage, and not a ferocious spiritual beast.
He travelled back and forth in the middle of the air with the Purple Ying Yang Cloud Wings. Wherever he went, his presence evoked resplendent white lights like a beautiful arc within the dark fog.
The longer the battle went on, the more sullen the monster became. It gave continuous roars and was clearly dissatisfied at Qin Wushuang’s dastardly tactics. It was not because this monster could not fly in the air, but because his massive body would not make him suitable for battles in the air. If it forced himself to battle in the sky, it would suffer the disadvantages of its own weakness.
Bao Bao had also been observing this monster. With Bao Bao’s nimble movements, it was extremely difficult for the monster to focus on him.
Currently, Qin Wushuang did not wish to summon those five spiritual beasts. He only chose to battle freely and observed this monster’s movements.
The unique trait of this monster was that it would not evade ordinary attacks. Only under the circumstance in which Qin Wushuang was attacking its vital parts, the eyes and foreheads; it would try to dodge and use other body parts to block his attacks.
While facing such tyrannical defense, Qin Wushuang knew that it would be impossible to harm this monster with ordinary attacks.
Regarding defensive strength, this monster had completely surpassed those in the Profound Stage category.
Bao Bao also cried out: “Boss, most likely this monster is at the Perfect Stage! Normal elemental attacks will not harm it.”
The monster had clearly understood their conversation. With a loud roar, its body suddenly moved in a spiral pattern at a fast speed while remain in same spot. It pressed its’ two front claws down to the ground abruptly!
Instantly, with this movement, two rays of golden lights appeared from its palms. This light spreads out and emanated a golden color. Revealing layers of vein lines, the lights undulated with dazzling elemental colors.
Suddenly, Bao Bao’s pupils shrunk: “Boss, watch out! This is the earth elemental technique, Mother Earth Gravitation!”
Although the spread of this golden light had not yet dashed to Qin Wushuang’s feet, he could already vividly feel a powerful gravitational force pulling his feet down in regular pulsing rhythm.
Feeling astonished, Qin Wushuang spread his wings and soared to the sky. That monster gave an evil grin and snatched at him with the two palms facing upwards. He had condensed the golden light into two sharp claws and snapped it toward the sky.
Upon seeing the ferocious speed of these two surging golden claws lights, how would Qin Wushuang dare to act lax? He did not try to fight force with force and angled his wings and body in an attempt to evade this violent attack.
When the monster saw Qin Wushuang unmoved by force or persuasion, suddenly, it was furious. It shook its body violently and kept snatching at the sky with his claws. Each time it shot its claws out, it brought with it waves of powerful gravitational force. If Qin Wushuang got caught by one of them, it was equivalent to getting pulled down by a rope of the earth attribute. Certainly, he would lose his balance. In the most severe case, he would even fall.
Fortunately, the Purple Ying Yang Clouds displayed its amazing utility at this moment. Regardless of the speed of that monster’s movements, Qin Wushuang did not hesitate as he continued his rapid ascent in the sky. As he kept increasing his elevation, the reach of the attacks from that monster also became shorter.
Qin Wushuang had almost reached the clouds. He panted heavily and looked at the monster in distress. That monster looked at Qin Wushuang angrily with a pair of eyes as big as a copper bell and it continued to growl.
Apparently, this monster felt extremely helpless and angered by Qin Wushuang’s tactics. However, it also knew clearly that it was not realistic to let this human fight him head-on.
When neither party was capable of defeating the other, it caused the situation to fall into a stalemate.
Bao Bao scampered to a giant tree in the distance and observed this monster. He communicated with beast language: “Wu Li Gu La, Ha Cha Ni Bo Wa, Chun Cun’Er…”
Stunned, that monster also whispered a few words.
In the middle of the air, Qin Wushuang immediately pricked his ears as he heard them suddenly speaking with the beast language. Seeing the monster answer back, Bao Bao immediately said: “Big guy, we do not hold any vile intentions and are simply passing here. Are you the master of the Dark Wind Valley?”
That monster spoke with a clear yet discontent tone: “You little monkey, why are you getting involved with a human? This Dark Wind Valley is big, but this few hundred miles around here is all my territory. This human kid charged into my territory, I must swallow his Primordial Spirit!”
Bao Bao laughed: “Big guy, that human is my Boss, he is really kind to the beast race. Besides, he had not come here with vile intentions. Additionally, he is not scared of you if you were to fight. My boss has not used many of his trump cards.”
That monster mumbled endlessly: “Since he has trump cards, would I also not have any exceptional moves?”
Upon hearing their argument, Qin Wushuang also spoke with beast language: “Big guy, it was presumptuous for us to charge into your territory, I can apologize to you. However, we will happily accommodate you if you wish to continue the fight. If we keep fighting, I don’t know when it will be the end. How about we arrange another time to continue the fight!”
Qin Wushuang did not want to remain entangled in a conflict with this giant monster. He did not hold any chances of winning if he kept fighting. Even if he were to use the Graceful Spiritual Bow, it would likely be quite difficult to kill such a gigantic monster, especially if it possessed the defensive power of the Perfect Void Martial Stage.
Unless he improved his strength to the Transformation Void Martial Stage, it would be the limit for him to use the Graceful Spiritual Bow to attack an enemy that was two levels above him.
Although that monster had a giant body, he was intelligent. When he saw that indeed, this human did not show vile intentions, it became more or less relaxed. Yet, he still hesitated: “Little Monkey, is this human truly not one of those martial artists of the Divine Brilliance Prefecture?”
Bao Bao laughed: “Our boss is the disciple to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, he is not related to the Divine Brilliance Prefecture at all.”
That giant monster said angrily: “Little Monkey, do not lie to me. Martial artists of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect often had come here to train.”
“Heavenly Luo Daoist sect?” Bao Bao laughed, “You are that scared of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect?”
That giant monster said: “Of course I do not fear those little underlings of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. However, they have two elite warriors at the Exquisite Mysteries Boundary. Even I could not swallow their attacks.”
The words of this monster was rather honest. Bao Bao said with a grin: “Rest assured, we are not related to the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect at all. On the contrary, we are their enemies.”
“Enemies?” Suddenly, that giant monster was stunned. Strange lights flashed in his big eyes as he gave Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao a measuring gaze. Then, he spoke with an extremely astonished tone: “You…What is your relationship with Mr. Lu Xianlou?”
Bao Bao was immensely surprised: “Big guy, you know about Mr. Lu Xianlou?”
That monster said with a fully alarmed expression: “You go first.”
Bao Bao laughed and kept waving his hand to show that he does not hold any evil intentions. He said with a chuckle: “Big guy, we have a very good relationship with Mr. Lu Xianlou. In fact, he sent us to here.”
Upon hearing his words, that monster revealed an ecstastic expression. He looked at Qin Wushuang, then at Bao Bao: “You are not lying to me? Do you have proof?”
Qin Wushuang waved that map and held that Observant Finger Jade Compass in his hand: “This is the proof!”
When that monster saw the map and that Observant Finger Jade Compass, that monster was overjoyed as he kept nodding with his giant head: “Indeed, ha ha, so you were sent by Mr. Lu Xianlou? Wonderful, great!”
The tone of this monster was filled with delight.
Bao Bao asked with a strange tone: “Big guy, you also know Mr. Lu Xianlou?”
The tone of that monster contained a rare trace sincerity: “Senior Lu Xianlou is my savior. He sent me to guard the Dark Wind Valley and I am to prevent any freelance martial artist from coming through. Unless, if it were people he sent.”
Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao exchanged a glance and dropped to the ground to stand together. Lone also rejoined them. When he saw the giant monster before him, he also clicked his tongue in wonder.
