CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 323: THE MOST DIFFICULT BATTLE

In the night sky, dark clouds surged, almost pressing down to the ground, rain seemed imminent, making the vast plains covered with dense foliage appear extremely oppressive.

Qin Ming stood on the dirt road, flanked by trees that seemed like wolves in the forest, as he looked toward the end of the woods where a majestic, silver-white figure had appeared.

The autumn wind passed, yellow leaves fell in abundance from the trees lining the road, swirling with the wind, carrying a chilling bleakness.

Qin Ming sighed; rationally, he should retreat immediately, facing a giant beast of the Fourth Realm, he had no chance of winning.

However, he couldn’t get over the hurdle in his heart.

As soon as he retreats, all the people in this town would not survive, houses destroyed, bodies of men, women, and children everywhere, blood staining the streets, these scenes could be imagined.

Ahead, the ground shook, with each step taken by the human-shaped Baiyin Battle Beast, it split the ground, like a gleaming heavy metal man, filled with power and coldness.

It naturally saw Qin Ming, eyes icy, then it grinned, but it seemed very cold, very bloody; inside the blood-red mouth, sharp teeth spewed white fog, quite intimidating.

"Why not... retreat, you can’t stop it." Thunder King Bird spoke, knowing full well how terrifying such a creature was, a single roar almost dislodging it.

"You stay in the air, don’t come near," Qin Ming said.

Regardless, he had to fight once more, even if just to stall for time, perhaps some old senior might arrive.

With a crackle, an electric arc crossed the abyss-like high sky, during this deep autumn season, a light drizzle began.

Qin Ming held the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade, eyes deep, blocking the road, ready to intercept this Fourth Realm giant beast.

"Be careful, don’t strain beyond your limits!" Thunder King Bird worried, fearing for his corpse.

Previously, it served as Qin Ming’s mount due to the status of Great Yu’s Fourth Princess, Yao Ruoxian, but after some encounters, it was willingly following him now.

The Baiyin Battle Beast arrived, its six-meter-tall human-shaped body very robust; its breath from the mouth was extraordinarily scorching, like white flames, a testament to the beast essence’s extreme power.

It spoke human language, saying, "Long ago, you little ones were just like crops in the fields; time goes by, now you’ve become a climate."

In past times, some giant beasts were quite bloody and cruel; for all tribes in Ye State, it was a terrifying era hard to look back on.

Qin Ming didn’t mind talking more with it, waiting for the old senior to show up and support, saying, "You said it yourself, that was a long time ago, where are you all now? Accept the fact of being eliminated by history!"

"You’re wrong, the giant beasts only retreated, they didn’t disappear; on the far-off land there are even more powerful tribes, just temporarily disdaining this distant place, the world beyond is more splendid, the mountains and rivers endlessly magnificent." Baiyin Battle Beast breathed, accompanied by sounds like wind and thunder, white hot waves rolling, its blood-red mouth opening and closing appearing quite fierce.

It continued, "When the Divine of the Giant Beast Clan once again cast their gaze here, at that time you will utterly cease to exist."

Qin Ming flicked the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade with his fingers, saying, "Still dare to boast? Looking back, at the final stage, you were all beaten like dogs, fled into the depths of Night Fog, speaking as if you were the victorious ones."

The human-shaped giant beast stepped out, the ground shattered; its whole body emitted silver light, its shovel-sized hand fanned towards Qin Ming, brutality and bloodthirst were indeed their true nature.

"Don’t rush, let’s chat a bit more, I won’t expose much, more praising your ancestors could once bully others, how about it?" Qin Ming explosively retreated, avoiding this strike.

He had measured the opponent, wielding the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade with all his strength, could only cut into the opponent’s flesh, not hurting the bone.

If he were to directly clash with it now, there’s no chance of victory, certain death.

He aimed to anger the opponent, causing it to lose composure, while he would engage it tactically.

The only flaw of the Baiyin Giant Beast was its speed wasn’t fast enough, inconsistent with its realm, but compared to people of low realm, it could still keep up without fail.

With a bang, the forest shattered, the human-shaped battle beast followed, crushing century-old trees, its boat-sized foot directly stomping toward Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade raised, in an instant, five-colored blade beams shot as divine rainbow, illuminating the entire forest, with biting cold air urged, endless yellow leaves rustled down, then exploded one after another.

Dealing with Fourth Realm Battle Beast, each of his strikes needed to deploy killer moves.

Baiyin Giant Beast’s pupils erupted with silver light; despite its savagery, it wasn’t entirely reckless, its foot horizontally shifted instantly, not facing the blade edge.

The Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade in Qin Ming’s hand transformed instantaneously, targeting one of its toes; though limited by strength, not its opponent, unable to seriously injure it, but had to find a way to cut it painfully, enraging it into chase, thereby moving away from Qingfeng Town.

In the woods, large sections of ancient trees exploded; as the giant beast and Qin Ming moved, those trees either shattered by the majestic body or disintegrated by Heavenly Light.

With a muffled sound, the Baiyin Battle Beast’s foot received a cut; this time it let out a low growl, expression ferocious, nearly distorting its face.

Its foot was bleeding profusely, staining the forest, silver-white skin rolling up, the inner bone injured, the blade cut in and wedged in the bone seam.

Its little toe was almost as thick as an adult’s leg, thin-skinned, thick-boned; this time, it finally injured muscles and bones.

"Ah..." The pain of toe cutting truly made the Baiyin Battle Beast somewhat unbearable, beast essence surged, quickly repairing the wound, and attempting to clamp the Jade Iron Blade.

It bent down, punched down, beast essence roared like heavenly thunder, accompanied by a white stream rushing downward.
