Chapter 287: The Beast of Stubbornness
“What’s wrong with Zhanyue? Has his brain broken? Why does he keep crashing into the beetle’s horn?” Yunyao watched from behind with a face full of confusion, her beautiful eyes filled with questions. Then, she flapped her wings and soared high, joining the battlefield.
Zhanyue was engaging from the front, so she planned to pincer attack from the rear. However, when she approached the giant rhinoceros beetle, she had a new idea. This bug didn’t look a bit formidable. There was no need for sneak attacks or pincer attacks. Directly breaking through it would give her a sense of accomplishment.
Without much thought, Yunyao also came to the front and followed Zhanyue in launching an attack on the rhinoceros beetle’s giant horn.
“Sword Light Condensing Star!” Yunyao unleashed another sword technique. Terrifying sword energy gathered into a single point, aiming to break through in one go and destroy the enemy. However, that giant beetle horn was made of who-knows-what material. Such a terrifying sword technique actually didn’t cause the slightest damage to it.
“I don’t believe it!” Zhanyue, holding the Heaven Punishing Demon Sword and wearing the Silver Moon Armor, which was now a flaming red color, had countless tentacles growing out from the armor. It was an ability obtained from the fear demon beast’s blood. These tentacles directly entangled the giant beetle horn, preventing it from moving around. Then, a large amount of Three Talents Wondrous Fire enveloped the giant horn.
Unfortunately, this demon beast wasn’t the lust beast. Even the Three Talents Wondrous Fire didn’t cause it any damage.
The two people and one bug fought for a long time. That giant bug seemed to never know fatigue. But Zhanyue and Yunyao couldn’t hold on anymore. However, the two of them didn’t even think about retreating at all, as if they wouldn’t stop until they killed this giant bug.
Time ticked by bit by bit. The two of them had used almost all their techniques, but this giant beast’s horn seemed to be the most solid thing in the world, not suffering any damage at all. Zhanyue even felt that his hands were sore and he had some difficulty gripping his sword, but he never thought of backing down. He couldn’t accept it. This bug clearly wasn’t powerful, so why couldn’t he take it down?
Yunyao was about the same as Zhanyue. Just as the two of them didn’t know they had already fallen into a desperate situation, the divine artifact that had always been on Yunyao finally lit up. The divine artifact called the Shield of Forgiveness automatically flew out. The shield rapidly expanded until it separated the two of them from the giant bug, blocking the giant bug’s strike.
