Chapter 387: Chapter 390: Blind One Eye

The Bull-headed Giant Beast rose and immediately locked onto Mu Can’s position with its blood-red eyes filled with a desire to kill, resembling that of a wild beast that only knew carnage, devoid of any possibility of communication.

The imposing aura emanating from the Bull-headed Giant Beast also gave Mu Can a sense of oppression, suggesting that the beast’s strength was roughly at the Peak of the Martial Saint level, still within Mu Can’s capability to handle, yet the trial within the first Heavenly Pillar was to face an enemy of this caliber. Who knows if facing a Void Level adversary alone could be the trial in the last Heavenly Pillar.

At this moment, there was no time for Mu Can to think further. The Bull-headed Giant Beast, having pinpointed Mu Can’s location, charged straight at him. The sound of its hooves thumping on the ground was like the beating of a drum. Mu Can maneuvered the Ice and Fire Glass Lotus to clash with the Bull-headed Giant Beast, only to discover that the beast had suddenly vanished from its spot. In the next instant, it appeared right behind the Ice and Fire Glass Lotus, almost as if it had moved instantly. Mu Can had no time to steer the Ice and Fire Glass Lotus in a new direction and was forced to detonate it hastily.

Boom!

A loud explosion followed, creating a familiar small mushroom cloud that even sent the nearby trees flying into the air, with white leaves fluttering down like snowflakes.

In his rush, Mu Can’s strongest attack did not achieve its expected effect, and the Bull-headed Giant Beast, taking advantage of the power of the explosion, increased its speed instantly and charged towards Mu Can. Mu Can could even feel the beast’s foul breath hitting his face.

In principle, bulls are gentle herbivores, but the Minotaur seen by Mu Can at this moment had nothing to do with these characteristics. Its mouth was full of sharp fangs, with the remnants of blood-stained flesh at the corners. Two sharp horns on its head were like lances, and in its hand, a giant long spear flashed with cold light, more than four meters long, ready to devour its prey. It even licked its lips at Mu Can, as if it had just spotted some delectable food.

“Damn, it’s so strong.” Just a single burst of acceleration broke through the killer move that Mu Can had painstakingly constructed, and judging by the way it was barreling towards Mu Can, it seemed to carry the momentum of charging through an army to take the head of the enemy commander. Mu Can’s heart trembled as it seemed he had indeed underestimated the Bull-headed Giant Beast within the first level.

A glint of cold light arrived first, followed by the spear thrusting like a dragon. Mu Can, in an instant, was like a small boat in the vast ocean, helplessly caught up in the encircling thrusts of the Bull-headed Giant Beast’s long spear, desperately resisting it. In this confrontation, he was immediately plunged into a bitter struggle.

Despite its enormous and burly figure, the Bull-headed Giant Beast was not as cumbersome as one might imagine. Its agile steps even caused Mu Can to struggle to keep up. The long spear whipped through the air, generating a fierce wind. At this moment, Mu Can felt as if he were facing the great sea, with the continuous and roaring waves trapping him within their grasp.

Mu Can executed the movement technique of the Breeze Realm to its utmost limit, not even having time to think of a countermeasure. All his mental focus was on how to dodge the relentless attacks from the Bull-headed Giant Beast’s long spear.

“Hm?” The Bull-headed Giant Beast grunted in confusion, wondering why the little one before it could dodge all of its attacks with a slickness akin to a slippery eel, unable to land a single blow in its torrential onslaught.

“Damn, this can’t continue, if this goes on, with spear techniques like a downpour, if I can’t break free, sooner or later I’ll be wounded.” Mu Can complained inwardly, not expecting to be at such a disadvantage after merely an encounter.

“Ice Wall.” Mu Can roared, and a thick Ice Wall suddenly materialized in front of him, blocking all the thrusts from the Bull-headed Giant Beast’s spear. However, ice shards flew in all directions, and a massive crack was punctured in the wall by the spear. From the looks of it, one or two more strikes, and the ice would shatter.

However, as soon as the ice appeared, the Bull-headed Giant Beast’s attack was temporarily stalled. In that instant, Mu Can found the opportunity to escape. He instantly retreated, escaping the attack range of the Bull-headed Giant Beast, and a Ice Sword slowly appeared between his hands, as he coldly watched the Bull-headed Giant Beast.

Ao!

Seeing its prey suddenly fly out of its attack range, it furiously slammed its chest with one hand, much like a great ape. Then, it charged towards Mu Can again, its long spear dancing and leaving trails of afterimages in the air.

This time, Mu Can was prepared and was not enveloped by the attack range. Instead, he slowly stepped backward, and with a wave of his left hand, Spiritual Power surged on the ground, which began to freeze over.

The ice surface was as smooth and flat as a mirror. The Bull-headed Giant Beast almost slipped and fell on it. The once ferocious offensive also stalled, and Mu Can took this chance to stop retreating. He held the longsword and charged forward in an instant, swinging the sword through the air creating extraordinary effects. Petals fell from the sky, and on the iced ground, specks of green light touched down, with wild grass proudly growing on it as if on soil.

“Slashes,” Mu Can roared, and the aerial phantasm vanished. His longsword fiercely hacked towards the Bull-headed Giant Beast.

This time, the Bull-headed Giant Beast was thrown into confusion. Although it was not less agile or slower than Mu Can, the sudden appearance of the smooth ice underfoot caught it by surprise, and it nearly slipped. Although it managed to steady itself with its agile movements, facing Mu Can’s sudden sword strike, it could only raise its long spear in a hasty defense.

Clang!

A loud clang sounded as Mu Can’s longsword contacted the Bull-headed Giant Beast’s long spear, producing a metallic clash, showcasing the impressive hardness of the Ice Sword in Mu Can’s hand.

Although it blocked Mu Can’s longsword, the next moment, the Ice Sword in Mu Can’s hand exploded into pieces, the fragments flying towards the Bull-headed Giant Beast at an even more terrifying speed than the longsword before.

The shattered Ice Sword Fragments were like short Daggers, shooting violently towards their target.

The Bull-headed Giant Beast only had the time to raise its arm to block, but a shard plunged straight into the eyes of the Bull-headed Giant Beast.

Bright red blood gushed out instantaneously, and the Bull-headed Giant Beast howled in pain, flailing its arms wildly. Mu Can retreated once again. This attack had fully achieved Mu Can’s objective, and the outcome was even better than he had anticipated.

Facing an opponent who surpassed him both in speed and strength, Mu Can had to come up with such a simple strategy to contend with the Bull-headed Giant Beast.

Mu Can’s longsword, made not only from the purest Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, but also melded with a portion of Wood Attribute Spiritual Power. This was also why the longsword could contend with the Bull-headed Giant Beast’s long spear.
