Chapter 1880 Raw 1891 : Fierce Battle with a Ferocious Beas
Chapter 1880 (Raw 1891): Fierce Battle with a Ferocious Beast
The rain in the desert fell for very long.
However, it would eventually stop.
Two months later, the sky cleared up. The temperature of the desert changed drastically.
The arid air, combined with the blistering temperature, felt extremely unbearable.
However, the desert before Xiao Chen seemed to come to life.
Perhaps what the desert needed was not rain or moisture but this intense sunlight and the high temperatures.
The desert could display its true charm only under such environments.
Xiao Chen removed his cloak, revealing his white robes. Then, he continued walking in the desert like a monk on a journey of self-mortification.
When the desert started to truly revive, its savage and scary side also appeared before Xiao Chen.
Huge cacti with long, sharp needles suddenly came to life and attacked Xiao Chen.
Venomous lizards appeared in the desert. There were also scorpions that he could not crush even after infusing his body with Great Dao Energy.
Xiao Chen ran into danger several times, nearly losing his life. This made him exceptionally cautious.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Chen drew the Tyrant Saber, and the illusory purple saber Qi shot out, looking like a rainbow piercing the sun.
He fought with a four-legged rainbow lizard, something he had never seen before.
He did not know what ferocious beast this was.
All he knew was that this ferocious beast possessed fierce combat prowess and astonishing defense. Its body constantly released a mild toxic powder.
When the toxic powder combined with the air, it was tasteless and odorless, making it impossible to defend against.
This toxin could even penetrate a person’s Veritable Essence Energy shield and land on the skin.
The rainbow lizard was Xiao Chen’s first brush with danger. He had not anticipated that the penetrative powers of this toxic powder would be so horrifying. It had numbed his body and slowed his movements. He nearly got swallowed up.
Fortunately, he had managed to activate the Azure Dragon bloodline at the critical moment. The moment his combat prowess soared, he instantly killed the rainbow lizard, saving his life.
Without his Azure Dragon bloodline, he really might have lost his life then.
After that, Xiao Chen became much more cautious, always using half of his Veritable Essence Energy to protect his body.
“Clang!”
After one hundred moves, Xiao Chen chopped off the tail of a lizard. The pain prompted the lizard to burrow into the ground.
Xiao Chen could not be bothered to give chase. He sheathed his saber and revealed a confused expression.
He took out the map and carefully examined it.
Xiao Chen wondered whether he had gone off course, as according to Long Yan, the desert should not be too dangerous.
“Strange. I nearly died a few times, yet this is not dangerous?”
Xiao Chen put away the map. After he verified his route, making sure he was heading the right way, he shook his head and continued walking.
Late at night, the temperature plummeted.
After laying a simple defensive formation, Xiao Chen continued cultivating the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art. He felt that he was still a distance away from completing the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art’s first layer.
If there was no progress in the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art, his cultivation would remain at Small Perfection middle-stage Star Venerate, unable to improve further.
Xiao Chen’s primal chaos Veritable Essence Energy required him to dual cultivate in order for his cultivation to rise.
He suddenly opened his eyes late in the night. Demonic nature appeared in his eyes, passing in a flash.
Something was targeting him!
This was the body’s innate instinct for danger. Xiao Chen thought about it; he had killed several ferocious beasts in the past days.
His body had ferocious baleful Qi lingering on it. Perhaps some overlord-class ferocious beast smelled it.
Or perhaps he accidentally entered the territory of a ferocious beast.
Or perhaps some ferocious beast with a strong demonic nature sensed the fluctuation of his demonic nature while he cultivated the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.
Everything was possible. What he needed to do now was to cope with shifting events by sticking to a fundamental principle.
Xiao Chen placed the Tyrant Saber at the side and carefully looked around.
Then, he extended his Spiritual Sense and did his best to search for that hidden ferocious beast.
Sometimes, the most terrifying thing was not a strong enemy but a crafty and treacherous one.
Such enemies were patient and good at concealment. When one let down one’s guard, they would deal a critical strike.
“How crafty.”
The moment Xiao Chen opened his eyes, that ferocious beast knew that it had been exposed, so it cautiously hid.
However, Xiao Chen still could sense a pair of cold eyes staring at him from the darkness.
Where is it? Where is it?
Xiao Chen quickly turned his head around and saw a silver figure at a distant sand dune, disappearing in a flash into the boundless dark night.
By the time he focused his gaze, that silver figure was no longer in sight.
How quick!
That’s not right. It did this on purpose.
Xiao Chen’s expression changed greatly. Then, he leaped back hastily. In the next moment, a resplendent and dazzling light appeared overhead.
This caused the dark night to light up as bright as day, showing everything clearly.
That resplendent brilliance contained terrifying energy that kicked up a boundlessly strong wind.
The wind was so strong that even space twisted slightly. Xiao Chen’s Movement Technique suffered a severe restriction.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, this resplendent light struck Xiao Chen’s previous position.
A terrifyingly deep pit opened on the ground, looking as scary as a meteor crater.
A horrifying shock wave radiated into the surroundings.
The shock wave caught Xiao Chen off guard, knocking him into the air. He felt like he was falling apart.
When Xiao Chen landed, he felt horror spreading in his heart.
If not for him dodging preemptively, he would have died on the spot when this attack struck, not even leaving any scraps.
That silver figure had revealed itself on purpose for Xiao Chen to see, attracting his attention.
What a crafty ferocious beast. Its schemes were so deep, it was terrifying.
Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood, his complexion pale. When the dust settled, he felt even more shocked and surprised when the huge pit appeared before his eyes.
“Whoosh!”
Before Xiao Chen could catch his breath, a flash of silver light flew towards him, arriving in the blink of an eye.
“Dang!”
Xiao Chen drew his Tyrant Saber and used the purple blade to block this flash of silver light.
A strong force came from the silver light. The skin on Xiao Chen’s right hand split, and he nearly dropped the Tyrant Saber.
This time, Xiao Chen clearly saw it. A silver fox appeared before him, a Silver Desert Fox.
This Silver Desert Fox did not have the agility and grace of the foxes from the forest or mountains. It was more ferocious, as it had grown up in the desert. Its cold eyes gleamed with a strong murderous intent as it gazed at Xiao Chen.
Aside from the murderous intent, there was also greed, lust for its prey.
“Overlord-class ferocious beast!”
Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. Within the same level, an overlord-class ferocious beast was practically undefeatable.
The Silver Desert Fox before Xiao Chen was one such overlord-class Star-Venerate-level ferocious beast. Without a Holy Venerate, killing it would be hard.
The most important thing was that this Silver Desert Fox’s schemes and craftiness already had an effect.
Before the fight started, it had injured Xiao Chen and gained the upper hand.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The silver fox snatched the initiative and relentlessly launched itself at Xiao Chen, trying to aggravate Xiao Chen’s injuries slowly.
Xiao Chen showed a grave expression as he maintained a calm mental state, continuously retreating.
The silver fox did not look big, but all its attacks contained immense force.
Xiao Chen infused two kinds of Great Dao Energy into the saber. Even so, he could only block, unable to gain any advantage.
As he kept backing up, his injuries worsened.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The silver fox accelerated its attacks, the sonic booms becoming increasingly sharper.
The extremely sharp sounds propagated in all directions, causing a commotion. Many of the desert’s ferocious beasts that heard it fled in panic.
Clearly, this silver fox normally terrorized this area. This was shocking.
Xiao Chen could not let this continue. He needed to defeat the silver fox quickly, not letting it drag this out.
“Resolving the Mundane!”
A swastika appeared from Xiao Chen’s forehead, emanating a boundlessly strong Buddhist Might.
In an instant, Xiao Chen resolved his mundane heart. He showed no emotions on his face as a gigantic Buddha image appeared behind him.
Then, he sent out an eternal saber light, ruthlessly chopping down with it. This killing move was the one with the greatest might.
For the first time, Xiao Chen knocked back the silver fox, which held the upper hand in strength, causing it to yelp in pain.
Azure Dragon Divine Wings!
A pair of wings spread out behind Xiao Chen. Then, he brought out the Tyrant Saber’s might using the Thunder Great Dao.
The purple saber immediately blazed with a hazy purple flame. The Thunder Great Dao’s Great Dao Energy filled his body.
“Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations!” Xiao Chen roared, and the lightning-attributed energy in his body erupted. For the first time, he used the Azure Dragon Divine Wings to complement the Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations.
He executed the Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations with a thought. The instant the electric light in his body erupted, his figure flashed. Then, eighty-one strands of saber light burst out of the silver fox’s body.
With the aid of the Azure Dragon Divine Wings, Xiao Chen did not need to focus his Veritable Essence Energy on speed. Hence, the Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations became mightier.
The silver fox yelped in pain and fell to the ground. The saber lights continuously surged around inside its body.
Blood flowed endlessly as the silver fox’s lifeforce ebbed. When Xiao Chen counterattacked, it suffered a grievous injury.
Then, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and took out the God Shadow Bow. After infusing in Soul Energy, he shot out an arrow.
“Whoosh!”
This arrow firmly pinned the fleeing silver fox to the ground.
The silver fox let out miserable cries, looking exceptionally pathetic in the night. The shot from the God Shadow Bow possessed a horrifying might.
Xiao Chen put away the God Shadow Bow and appeared slightly pale. An overlord-class ferocious beast was indeed difficult to deal with.
After checking on his injuries, Xiao Chen found that, besides the trauma to his internal organs, his will of soul was also shaken and damaged.
This Silver Desert Fox was much stronger than Monarch Yu, on a completely different level.
The silver fox’s lifeforce rapidly diminished. Xiao Chen’s figure flickered after he gently pushed off with his feet and arrived by the silver fox’s side.
Xiao Chen saw that the silver fox’s fur was smooth and slick, giving off a faint glow in the night. It looked rather charming.
If not for the Tyrant Saber revealing its true form and Xiao Chen propelling it with the Thunder Great Dao, he would probably have had trouble penetrating the silver fox’s defense.
Xiao Chen thought about using this fox pelt to make a fur robe.
Such a fur robe would definitely look incredibly magnificent. With formations supporting it, it would be a natural Dao Tool.
The robe might even turn into an inherited Dao Tool after one thousand years, improving further.
Xiao Chen ended up significantly injured, but he also gained a lot. The fox pelt aside, just the Beast Core would be worth cities.
After the heavy blow from the God Shadow Bow’s arrow, the silver fox’s lifeforce completely drained away.
Xiao Chen reached out and grabbed the arrow, wanting to pull it out.
However, just at this moment, the silver fox’s closed eyes suddenly opened.
The silver fox’s eyes shone with a boundless fiendish light that was exceptionally eye-catching in the dark night.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from this seemingly dead silver fox. “Bang!” The silver fox’s body suddenly enlarged, turning into a colossal beast in the blink of an eye.
Six tails towered up into the clouds behind the silver fox.

“Damn it!”
Xiao Chen’s face sank. He had been deceived again. This fox was truly too crafty.
