Instinctively, without any hesitation, Su Changkong pressed his palm against the ground and, with a flip reminiscent of a Spirit Deer, rolled to the side.

“Hiss!”

The next second, the large tree where Su Changkong had been sitting cross-legged tore apart, creating five split openings, as it silently snapped in half and fell with a ’thump’.

If Su Changkong hadn’t reacted in time, his head would likely have been sliced into several pieces!

“What is this thing?”

Su Changkong was startled and concentrated all his might, maximizing his perception of Spiritual Energy brought by the Guiding Technique; he saw a huge silhouette appear in the air ahead of him.

In Su Changkong’s vision, like a thermal imaging, the flow of Spiritual Energy outlined the figure of a giant beast, which, from its appearance, looked somewhat like a lizard, standing over ten feet at the shoulder and nearly forty feet in length.

Such gigantic stature made even a large elephant look utterly miniature in its presence!

What astonished Su Changkong even more was that this lizard-like beast was capable of invisibility!

Its body completely merged with the air, and despite Su Changkong’s vigilance towards his surroundings, the beast had approached within about ten feet before he noticed it. Even with his keen sensitivity to Spiritual Energy, it took his full concentration to make out its silhouette!

“Could it be… Alien Beasts?”

Su Changkong’s heart skipped a beat. He had seen some ancient scriptures in the Spirit Taoist Sect that mentioned Alien Beasts.

Alien Beasts, every part of them a treasure, are said to be the offspring of the legendary True Beasts!

Su Changkong was no fool and immediately understood the purpose of the East Star Sect: they were here to hunt this Alien Beast.

This Alien Beast was also hunting the Martial Artists of the East Star Sect, and it specifically targeted those who were alone. Clearly, Su Changkong, being by himself, had caught the attention of this Alien Beast!

The giant lizard, an Alien Beast, possessed a method akin to invisibility to hide its presence, and it was only when it attacked Su Changkong that he realized it was near.

The huge lizard seemed surprised that this human could dodge its attack. In its perception, Su Changkong, who had used the Turtle Breath Technique to hide his breath, seemed ordinary and was alone, which made it choose to strike him.

The thwarted Alien Beast lizard seemed unwilling to retreat empty-handed. Its beastly pale golden pupils emitted strands of ferocity as it moved more blatantly, revealing its body that had previously blended with the air.

Su Changkong could now see the form of the Alien Beast: standing over ten feet at the shoulder, nearly forty feet in length, with a massive tail like an iron whip, adorned with metallic-like spines.

Its body was covered with dark black scales, each larger than an adult’s fist and enveloping its whole body like it was clad in thick metal armor. Sharp spines adorned its back, yet it moved as silently as a swallow. Not a single footprint nor a crushed leaf betrayed its approach, or else it wouldn’t have been able to get within ten feet of Su Changkong before being detected!

The Black Scale Huge Lizard, whose stealth attack had failed, still did not wish to leave without success. Now revealing its size, it no longer suppressed its speed and strength. Opening its wide, bloody mouth and revealing dagger-like fangs, it viciously lunged at Su Changkong’s head, with a fierce wind blowing from its maw.

The snapping bite was as quick as lightning—a common Martial Artist wouldn’t even have had the chance to react.

Although Su Changkong was shocked that the Black Scale Huge Lizard had targeted him, faced with its attack, he naturally wouldn’t just stand idly by.

Giant Whale Skill. Endless Furious Sea!

Su Changkong’s Giant Whale True Qi roared like an angry sea from his veins, channeled to his right fist, forming a massive vortex of powerful True Qi, becoming stronger against strength, strangling all in its path.

“Boom!”

Su Changkong’s fist slammed down, the tremendous force compressing the air, erupting with a thunderous blast—a punch like pushing an invisible mountain, heavy to an alarming extent!

“Bang!”

This heavy fist pounded on the forehead of the Black Scale Huge Lizard, emitting a muffled collision sound.

With the might of Su Changkong’s fist, even a small hill would have burst apart.

Yet, astonishingly, when it struck the head of the Black Scale Huge Lizard, it was like hitting a ten-thousand-ton metal mountain, and not a single scale was damaged. However, the punch stopped the Black Scale Huge Lizard’s biting attack in its tracks!

The recoil from the fist forced Su Changkong to take a step back!

“Is this the strength of an Alien Beast?”

Su Changkong’s mind was shaking, as the physical resilience of the Black Scale Huge Lizard was unlike any flesh and blood body, able to withstand his heavy fist and instead force him to retreat.

“Bang!”

The loud collision between Su Changkong and the Black Scale Huge Lizard echoed across Silver Moon Mountain, and at that moment, hundreds of Martial Artists from the East Star Sect all turned their gaze towards the direction of Su Changkong and the Black Scale Huge Lizard.

“It’s that monster… it has appeared again, attacking our Sect members! Curse this beast!”

Many East Star Sect Martial Artists showed a flash of anger and fear in their eyes.

In the past few days they had been searching for the Black Scale Huge Lizard throughout Silver Moon Mountain, were often attacked, and at least thirty people had been devoured by the beast.

And now, the commotion evidently meant the Black Scale Huge Lizard had shown itself again!

Several miles away, Dong Yunkuang, the Sect Master of the East Star Sect, and the other eleven Innate Martial Artists, all stood up and without hesitation, dashed towards the source of the sound.

“Good! This monstrous creature has finally appeared! This time we’ll slaughter it!”
