Bai Shishi was enjoying a rare moment alone with Long Chen. Now that the Human Emperor-level demon beast was blocking her way, she instantly flew into a rage and charged out immediately.
"Buzz!"
Behind Bai Shishi, within the golden Destiny Wheel, a statue of a goddess appeared—the goddess was her true form.
As soon as the goddess statue appeared, the entire world was enveloped in golden divine light. Bai Shishi extended her jade-like hand, and a golden shield appeared. Ignoring the golden rhinoceros' sudden attack, she smashed it directly toward its massive head.
With a loud explosion, the Ten-Thousand-Mile Shield shattered, but the golden rhinoceros staggered from Bai Shishi's golden shield.
"Buzz!"
Bai Shishi blocked the golden bull's strike. The golden longsword in her jade-like hand swung as it sliced through the void, sending a golden sword aura straight at the golden rhinoceros.
The moment Bai Shishi drew her sword, the statue of the goddess behind her suddenly lit up, its golden radiance illuminating the universe, and everything in sight was covered in a layer of gold.
The mountains, rivers, trees, and flowers were all coated in gold, making people feel as if they were in a world of gold.
At that moment, even Long Chen was startled. He hadn't expected that the last injury would be so intense for Bai Shishi. Her vision became clearer, her golden power thicker, and compared to during the academy's battle, her strength had improved by an unknown amount.
Bai Shishi slashed down with her sword, like a golden goddess unleashing her power. The pressure of this strike made even Long Chen's scalp tingle, and the others were startled by her assault.
Seeing Bai Shishi slash at him, the golden rhinoceros roared again, its scales gleaming, golden horns glowing, and it blocked Bai Shishi's sword head-on with its single horn.
With a loud explosion, the ground split open. The golden rhinoceros rolled out, shattering countless mountains along the way, and finally lay sprawled out in a deep ravine, blood spilling from its body, staining the earth red.
"Buzz!"
Bai Shishi struck down the golden rhinoceros with a single sword strike. She raised her sword, just about to seize the chance to kill it, but Long Chen stopped her:
"Wait."
Long Chen stopped Bai Shishi and led everyone toward the golden rhinoceros At this moment, the golden rhinoceros was covered in blood, struggling to get up, looking at everyone in terror.
Guo Ran and the others hung their mouths wide open. They hadn't expected that after Bai Shishi was injured once, she now seemed like a completely different person—so powerful that a Human Emperor-level demon beast was severely wounded by her in a single blow.
"Respected human powerhouse, I mean no offense to you. Please forgive my recklessness and spare my life." The golden rhinoceros actually spoke human language, pleading with everyone.
Guo Ran and the others were stunned. This golden rhino really knows how to read the situation. Bai Xiaole sneered, "He didn't mean to offend us, so why would he go so us?" If you can beat us, will you let us live? "
How did you get hurt?" Long Chen looked at the golden rhinoceros and said.
"Reporting to the respected human powerhouse, I was wounded by a black-scaled evil flood dragon and had to escape the Great Wilderness to recover.
When you passed by, I meant to scare you, not really intend to hurt you. Besides, I'm seriously injured and not suited for intense combat. "The golden rhinoceros said.
Upon hearing the Golden Rhino's words, everyone finally noticed that the golden rhino's aura was extremely unstable, as if it had truly suffered a serious injury and was still in the healing phase.
Everyone suddenly understood—no wonder the golden bull's aura was so terrifying, yet it was defeated by Bai Shishi with a single sword strike—it was seriously injured.
Most importantly, this golden bull was no longer humanoid, meaning it had broken free from the Human Emperor's restraint and entered the next stage.
"You have a trace of dragon blood on you, which is fate. We won't kill you, you can leave!" Long Chen said, because from the Golden Rhinoceros he sensed a trace of dragon blood power. Clearly, this Golden Wild Bull had dragon blood.
Although he didn't know which branch of the dragon clan it was, Long Chen didn't sense any violent aura from this golden bull, indicating it was different from ordinary beasts and intended to let it go.
The golden rhino was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly thanked him, "Thank you for sparing my life!" The
golden rhino was about to leave after saying this, but Guo Ran called out to him: "Stop, wait a moment!" At
Guo Ran's shout, the golden rhino immediately tensed up. It turned around somewhat uneasily and said, "Excuse me, is there anything else you need?" Long
Chen looked at Guo Ran, not knowing what this kid was up to. He only heard Guo Ran say, "Brother Niu, you're seriously injured and urgently need treatment. I'm not saying you, but you've lived so long—don't you even understand what opportunity is?"
You should know, the person before you is a peerless prodigy who masters both alchemy and martial arts. If you have his pills to help you, it won't be long before you recover to your original state, and may even surpass your former self. Are you sure you want to miss this opportunity? "
Really?" The golden rhino widened its eyes and said.
"That's true. Everyone has dragon blood flowing in their veins. We don't stoop to lying to you. My boss is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As long as you beg him, he basically won't refuse."
As Guo Ran spoke, he read the room. Seeing the golden rhino about to speak, he quickly stepped ahead, saying,
"Of course, as a powerful figure above the Human Emperor, you're a figure of great status. If you ask me to beg for help, you won't be able to open your mouth and say it, right?"
"I ..."
The Golden Rhino originally wanted to ask Long Chen for a pill, but after Guo Ran said that, it really couldn't open its mouth.
"Our flying boat is running low on power. If someone is willing to help pull it up, I think I'd be very happy." Guo Ran stroked his chin and looked at the flying boat behind him.
"I'm willing, I'm willing!"
The golden rhino hurriedly said, afraid of missing this opportunity.
Long Chen was speechless. Guo Ran was actually trying to trick this golden rhino into pulling the cart for them, letting a Human Emperor-level beast pull the cart. This guy really dared to imagine.
"Respected human warrior, can you really heal my wounds? If it's true, forget about pulling a cart—I'd even be willing to sign a servant contract. "The golden rhinoceros said.
"If we sign it, that would be even better. My boss ...," Guo Ran was overjoyed.
"Shut up!"
Long Chen glared at Guo Ran. This guy had become deflated now. After a few probing words, this golden rhino was still quite innocent. Trying to fool such a naive guy was a bit much.
"Come here, let me check your injuries!" After Long Chen finished speaking, the golden bull shrank its body to about ten zhang and obediently lay in front of him. Long Chen pressed his large hand down its head, channeling soul power into its body.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a terrifying force rushed straight at Long Chen.
Long Chen was shaken by that terrifying power, causing a dull pain in his chest, his heart pounding wildly:
"The power of the Nether Dragon?"
