CHAPTER TEXT:
"Second update, thanks to brother see_yo for the generous rewards, and thanks to other book friends for the rewards~~"
Jie Kui saw the group of spirit fire heavy rhinoceroses charging towards him, and he tightened his grip on the weapon.
Indeed, Ye Zhongming had just killed nearly ten of the thirty-seven spirit fire heavy rhinoceroses, and several more were severely injured, yet there were still over twenty remaining, four of which were ninth-level. With them rushing over, Jie Kui truly felt a bit afraid.
But no matter what, the fact that these guys had come over meant that everything was still within Ye Zhongming's expectations. He should be fine, right?
According to their agreement, when the rhinoceros herd passed by him, he was to strike at the most powerful ninth-level king rhinoceros.
He took a deep breath and activated the fleeting light that shocks the heart once more, combining it with his own abilities, and charged towards the leading king rhinoceros with all his might.
The king rhinoceros roared to the sky, lowered its head to show its horns, choosing to clash head-on with Jie Kui.
With a loud bang, Jie Kui's body was sent flying, while the ninth-level heavy rhinoceros king was also covered in blood.
Regardless, if it were a one-on-one fight, Jie Kui was not afraid of this beast.
Like a ghost, Ye Zhongming appeared again, but this time his target was no longer the ‘little guys’ behind, but the heavy rhinoceros king that had just fought.
First came a beam of light, followed by two double poison shadows, and then Ye Zhongming himself joined the fray, launching powerful punches.
Ninth-level life was still ninth-level life; even when faced with such an unfavorable situation, the heavy rhinoceros king quickly responded. Its body twisted violently in mid-air, tracing an arc; its head turned backward, while its more defensively oriented body swung towards Ye Zhongming, and its tail, like an iron whip, lashed out at its opponent.
The first shadow was directly dispersed, and the second shadow's attack was forced to strike the side of the body due to the heavy rhinoceros king's movement, squeezing it into the path of the tail whip, which also exploded. Only the beam of light struck its body, causing the heavy rhinoceros king to stagger, while Ye Zhongming's punch only landed on its side.
The spirit fire heavy rhinoceroses behind could not bear to see their leader being bullied like this and rushed forward to help. However, Ye Zhongming skillfully flipped and landed on the back of the heavy rhinoceros king.
Two mimetic weapons appeared in his hands as he thrust them viciously into the joint between the beast's body and neck.
The spirit fire heavy rhinoceroses were afraid of injuring their leader, so they would only strike when there was a particularly good opportunity, but all of their attacks were dodged by Ye Zhongming. During this process, both sides were engaged in a constant struggle; one side sought to throw the other off, while the other aimed to pierce through defenses.
Jie Kui endured through the brief period of rigidity from the fleeting light that shocks the heart and quickly maneuvered to the back, starting to hunt down the eighth-level heavy rhinoceroses.
For the first time, both sides began a real face-to-face confrontation.
These two mimetic weapons were exquisite; even if they weren’t of purple quality, they definitely surpassed golden quality. Under Ye Zhongming's use, they had already pierced the heavy rhinoceros king's skin. This made it furious while also sensing danger.
Its entire body paused for a moment, then its originally gray-green skin began to redden and heat up, and a faint flame started to emanate from its body!
Ye Zhongming knew this was a critical moment and could not back down. Upon discovering that this guy had transformed into a fire rhinoceros, he threw his two weapons to block the two approaching ninth-level heavy rhinoceroses. With his hands now free, ignoring the scorching heat, he grabbed its single horn with one hand and raised the other in a fist high above, smashing it down towards the heavy rhinoceros king's head.
