After a passionate kiss, Mingzhi Tian looked at Yan Lixue's body with lingering desire. Yan Lixue said, "Alright, we need to find an exit and go back. It's been two days, they must be worried sick."
Leaving him with unfulfilled heat, Mingzhi Tian felt restless. Yan Lixue held his hand and said, "Don't worry, once I've handled my family matters, we can... you know."
Mingzhi Tian pretended not to understand, "What do you mean, 'you know'?"
Yan Lixue shyly said, "You know, 'you know'."
Mingzhi Tian still didn't get it, "What is 'you know'?"
Yan Lixue rolled her eyes at him, "Let's see if there's an exit ahead."
Mingzhi Tian stopped joking and walked straight ahead. They walked for the entire morning and found it was a dead end, so there was only one path left.
The two turned back, and suddenly felt the atmosphere becoming increasingly abnormal. It seemed the path ahead must be fraught with extreme danger.
With a perilous path ahead and an uncertain future, Mingzhi Tian tightly gripped Yan Lixue's delicate, breakable jade hand. "Xue'er wife, what if we can't get out alive?"
Yan Lixue also squeezed his hand. "Then we'll be a pair of ill-fated lovers."
Mingzhi Tian met her gaze. "Okay, then we'll be a pair of ill-fated lovers!"
"Roar—!......" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The wind howled, and before them, a massive beast was chained by thousands of meteorite chains to the surrounding sheer cliffs.
This seemed to be the reason for the scattered white bones. An ancient, wild beast guarded this place, and even numerous immortal cultivation masters could not escape its grasp.
The ancient wild beast had blood-red eyes, horns on its head, and skin like rock. It had three heads and four legs. If not for these thousands of chains forged from meteorites, it was likely nothing could have contained it.
Then, the ancient wild beast spoke, its three mouths opening in unison, "Mortal cultivators? It's been a long time since I've had a meal. Come, let this venerable one devour you, and I will grant you a swift end."
The two were startled. This monstrous beast had actually cultivated to sentience and could speak?
Mingzhi Tian couldn't help but ask, "What are you?"
"This venerable one is an ancient wild beast. It is a fortune you two have cultivated for three lifetimes and three worlds to be able to enter this venerable one's belly and be refined!"
Mingzhi Tian put on the Emperor-grade artifact, the Cold Iron Gauntlets, and Yan Lixue donned the top-grade artifact, the Fragrant Scale Gauntlets and Gale-Stepping Boots. The two were eager to fight, the battle on the verge of erupting.
Mingzhi Tian pointed his fist at the ancient wild beast. "Be sensible and let us pass. We mean no harm."
The ancient wild beast scoffed, "Two low-level cultivators dare to speak so boldly to this venerable one?! Die!"
The wind raged, and a hurricane swept towards them, carrying a whistling killing intent.
Mingzhi Tian blocked with crossed fists emanating a cyan cold light. He was directly blown away by the wind, spun in mid-air, landed on one knee, and slammed a fist into the ground to stabilize himself.
"Xue'er wife, be careful! Its cultivation realm is far above ours!"
Yan Lixue did not hesitate and launched her attack!
With her Ascending Dragon third-layer cultivation, she clenched her fists, wearing the Fragrant Scale Gauntlets, and struck towards the ancient wild beast's head.
Mingzhi Tian spotted a weakness. "Imperial Artifact Control Art!"
There were no outsiders here, so Mingzhi Tian unleashed the full essence of his technique without reservation, channeling some of his power into Yan Lixue's entire body to deliver a fatal blow to the ancient wild beast!
Yan Lixue's fists slammed into one of its heads. The thick, leathery rock skin was only chipped with cracks, but it did not injure the flesh at all.
The ancient wild beast's three heads simultaneously unleashed a blizzard! It repelled Yan Lixue.
In reality, Mingzhi Tian only pretended to empower Yan Lixue, actually using it as a cover for himself.
The ancient wild beast believed they had concentrated all their power on Yan Lixue, but this was not the case. Mingzhi Tian seized the opportunity, channeling the Imperial Artifact Control Art into his right fist, and then unleashed it!
"Die by my hand!"
As Yan Lixue was sent flying, Mingzhi Tian, using her body to obstruct the beast's vision, punched directly into the eyeball of one of the ancient wild beast's heads. Blood splattered everywhere! It roared, "Roar—!......"
Blood seeped from the side of its teeth, and that head instantly died!
Only two heads remained, and they immediately went berserk! The wind howled! A blizzard instantly formed into a tornado and attacked them!
The tornado was like a blade, and just feeling it from afar sent a chill down their spines. Mingzhi Tian believed that if they were caught in it, they would suffer a thousand cuts.
