Chapter 572 - 568: No Escape
"Master, this Black Rhinoceros Great Demon possesses an extremely powerful physical body. Just its physical strength alone has the power of ten million tigers, and its demonic power also reaches the capacity of ten million tigers. Thus, having a fighting power of twenty million tigers is normal," the voice of the Tower Spirit echoed in Ye Chen's mind.
The Black Rhinoceros Great Demon, born with immense strength, is absolutely top-tier among the herbivorous Demon Race.
Even carnivorous Demon Race creatures like Tiger Demons and Bear Demons can't match its strength.
So, after reaching the Profound Pill Realm, having a physical strength of ten million tigers can be considered quite normal.
Besides, the demonic power generated within its body is far stronger than the mana of the weakest Profound Pill Real Person, about twice as strong.
This is the reason for its immense power.
"Come back to me." Ye Chen commanded, and the black and white battle swords quickly flew back to him, entwining around him like two Taiji fish.
He knew that relying solely on the Black and White Sword Array could not stop the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon, so he used them to protect himself.
"Hmph! Insolent ant, now you understand the vast difference between us! Crushing you would take no effort at all," the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon lifted its head high, its eyes filled with amusement and disdain as it gazed at Ye Chen, like looking at an ant that could be crushed at any moment.
Yes!
Ye Chen's strength was indeed formidable after leveraging the Black and White Sword Array, capable of unleashing a combat strength of fourteen million tigers.
Such power could easily eliminate five peak Divine Mansion Realm Demon Race commanders.
However, the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon's strength was vastly superior to those five Demon Race commanders, belonging to an entirely different level.
Therefore, even with the Black and White Sword Array, Ye Chen was no match against it.
If not for Ye Chen's speed, constantly evading, he would have been crushed long ago.
"Master, in a few more breaths he will catch up with you. Perhaps it would be better to hide within the Human Emperor's Space; that way, he cannot harm you," the Tower Spirit said with a slight frown.
"No, if I retreat to the Human Emperor's Space, the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon might return to that valley and kill Zhu Er and Senior Brother Xu Yan. This began because of me, I can't involve them," Ye Chen shook his head in denial.
Zhu Er once saved the lives of his godfather and godmother.
Moreover, Xu Yan opposed the Candidate Saint Son of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect, Hua Qianxue, just to protect him.
Therefore, if Ye Chen allowed the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon to kill them, he would live with an uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.
"Alright then, be careful, Master," sighed the Tower Spirit.
He knew Ye Chen was a person who valued loyalty and emotions, and would never abandon his partners, so he stopped advising him.
"Don't worry, Tower Spirit, killing me is not that easy for this guy. Don't forget, I've trained the legendary Human Emperor Body up to the Third Level of Vajra Realm," Ye Chen smiled confidently.
He acknowledged that his current strength was indeed no match for the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon.
However, his ability to survive far surpassed the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon's ability to kill him.
Any Profound Pill Real Person attempting to kill him would find it immensely difficult.
"Hmph! Ant, even now you can still smile? I want to see how long you can keep smiling," sneered the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon, its face dark, emanating an intimidating killing aura.
It had supposed that upon witnessing its true power, Ye Chen would be scared out of his wits.
Yet unexpectedly, not only did he show no fear, he even smiled.
To it, this was a great humiliation.
Therefore, it must make Ye Chen understand what awe truly means.
Boom!
At this moment, the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon once again waved its steel fork, unleashing two black beams toward Ye Chen.
However, as these beams touched the two battle swords beside Ye Chen, they were immediately sliced apart and vanished without a trace.
After all, these beams were merely condensed from the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon's demonic power, not fused with its physical strength.
Therefore, they posed no threat to Ye Chen.
"Damn it, it seems the only way to crush this ant is to get close, long-range attacks won't suffice," said the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon coldly.
Its most formidable ability was not long-range attacks, but close combat.
Only in proximity combat could it display its true power.
Unlike some Demon Race creatures who practiced their Divine Soul, excelling at long-range attacks.
Thus, to crush Ye Chen, it first had to get near him.
Buzz!
In the next moment, black demon patterns emerged again on the surface of the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon, greatly enhancing its speed.
This secret Demon Race technique it commanded increased its speed temporarily, though the effect was short-lived.
Even so, it was more than enough to catch up with Ye Chen.
After all, the distance between them was less than three hundred zhang, and in three breaths, it would surely catch up with Ye Chen.
Swish!
After a breath, the distance between the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon and Ye Chen was reduced to only two hundred zhang.
Two breaths later, the distance was narrowed to just one hundred zhang.
"It seems there's no need to run anymore! This place is far enough from the valley, so battling here won't endanger others," suddenly, Ye Chen flew swiftly towards an Ancient Forest below, landing instantly.
His earlier fleeing was merely to lure the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon away from that valley.
After all, with the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon's overwhelming strength, fighting within the valley could easily harm the innocent.
Even Zhu Er, Xu Yan, and others could be caught in the chaos.
The consequences would be disastrous.
"Hah! Ant, why aren't you running? Have you realized you can't escape?" In the next moment, a towering figure of about five zhang in height descended into the Ancient Forest, causing a pit dozens of zhang deep.
This figure was none other than the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon.
At this time, it was less than fifty zhang from Ye Chen, its mouth curled in a jaded smile, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a dead man.
