“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don’t let it escape again!”

Dong Yunkuang and the other high-ranking members of the East Star Sect revealed excitement and exhilaration in their eyes. They had made many preparations, and now it was time to close the net and capture this alien beast in one fell swoop!

“Roar!”

The Black Scale Huge Lizard kept missing its mark, which angered it greatly. It let out a thunderous roar from its gaping maw.

The roar, like a tidal wave of sound, spread outwards in all directions, causing visible ripples and distortion in the air.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Even the trees nearby began to split and fracture under the assault of the sonic waves, with many branches breaking off and trunks cracking as if they had been sliced by numerous sharp blades.

“Buzz, buzz!”

Even someone as strong as Su Changkong felt his eardrums buzzing from the roar at such close range!

“We can’t get entangled with it! High-level cultivators from the East Star Sect will probably arrive soon!”

Thought Su Changkong to himself.

Such a commotion would surely bring the high-level cultivators of the East Star Sect. They would discover that he was not a martial artist of the East Star Sect. If he fell into a pincer attack between them and this beast, the situation could become extremely dangerous.

Su Changkong wanted to reap the benefits like a fisherman waits for the fish, not to be taken advantage of by others. He had to shake off the Black Scale Huge Lizard and hide quickly!

A heaven-shaking beastly roar echoed as the enormous claw of the Black Scale Huge Lizard came slashing fiercely. The claw, long and sharp, flickered with cold light, even sharper than divine weapons and covered with thick scales. The strike was simple but its speed and power were far beyond an ordinary innate level, a direct hit would result in a rain of flesh and blood!

Iron Cutting Blade Technique, Upward Slash!

Su Changkong’s hand was already on the hilt of his sword. In the Sea of Consciousness, Blade Intent began to condense. In that moment, a radius of one zhang around Su Changkong seemed to come to a standstill, with an invisible Blade Intent enveloping him, twisting the very air it sliced!

“Clang!”

The crisp, pleasing sound of the blade being unsheathed filled the air as the Iron-Cutting Sword broke free from its restraint, and with an upward motion, he executed a strike that illuminated the sword light covered in Blade Gang. The Blade Force was infused into the swing, turning decay into a spectacle of impregnability.

“Pfft!”

The slash passed over the incoming giant claw of the Black Scale Huge Lizard and was accompanied by the sound of tearing flesh. A gash appeared on the claw as the scale armor cracked open, flesh cut nearly an inch deep. The hot, boiling blood of the beast spurted out, scorching the ground into pits and potholes!

“Howl!”

This cut should have been a minor, superficial injury to the Black Scale Huge Lizard, but a wave of Blade Intent caused it mental and spiritual pain. Its entire claw throbbed numbly, and from its throat erupted a roar of agony and frenzy.

“This cut didn’t sever its claw? Time to go!”

Su Changkong was also shocked by the terrible strength of the Black Scale Huge Lizard.

His blade, imbued with Blade Intent, could slice through heavy armor as if it were tofu, but it only left a cut on the lizard’s claw, unable to sever it entirely, showing just how formidable the beast’s physique was, stronger than Monster Warriors like Wind Sun Moon who possessed Immortal Bodies, utterly surpassing the bounds of a fleshly body!

But Su Changkong didn’t linger, fully aware that Dong Yunkuang and other East Star Sect masters were nearby. Engaging in battle would only benefit those lying in wait. The best strategy was to strike from the shadows.

“Swoosh!”

After a slash that forced back and wounded the Black Scale Huge Lizard, Su Changkong stomped his foot. A phantom image of a white crane appeared behind him, its shadow grabbing his shoulders and whisking him backward. He leapt from branch to branch as lightly as a bird without disturbing a single leaf, swiftly disappearing from the area.

Before long, Dong Yunkuang and the others hurried to the scene. The painful roaring of the Black Scale Huge Lizard had reached their ears, causing them all to be somewhat astonished.

“What’s happening? The Black Scale Huge Lizard is screaming?”

The East Star Sect elders were shocked. Ordinary innate martial artists could not even penetrate its skin, let alone wound it.

To be cautious and avoid being targeted by the invisible Black Scale Huge Lizard for an easy kill, these innate martial artists from the East Star Sect chose to move together. Even the strongest disciples scouring for the lizard, merely at the Qi-Blood Realm, couldn’t possibly harm it if it stood still!

“It’s fixated on us now!”

An elder’s eyelids twitched, sensing the feeling of being targeted by a mad beast. In the distance, the trembling Black Scale Huge Lizard locked them in its gaze with bloodshot, dark golden eyes.

In its mind, the human who had just wounded it was undoubtedly in cahoots with Dong Yunkuang and the others. Furious, the Black Scale Huge Lizard was ready to destroy and massacre this bunch of bastards who had disturbed its peaceful life at all costs!

“Be on your guard! That person who just confronted the Black Scale Huge Lizard is unknown to us, foe not friend! Keep two people on the lookout for any movements around us!”

Dong Yunkuang’s face was grave as he telepathically warned everyone.

Before their arrival, someone had already briefly fought and injured the Black Scale Huge Lizard, driving it mad. One can imagine that the person who made the move was extraordinary and had to be vigilantly watched.

An unidentified powerful individual had already arrived at this place, most likely for the alien beast. They could not delay any longer; they must kill the beast to devour it alone before the news spread, which would not be surprising if it attracted Five-Qi Grandmasters.
