Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1803 - 1840: Xuanwu Behemoth
The Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast’s four limbs trembled slightly, and a violent storm of sand erupted from beneath its body, while a faint lightning beam slowly gathered inside the mouth of the Xuanyuan Cultivation Beast.
"Senior, the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast can devour various powerful Yuan Beasts, but the most fatal thing is that there’s a very strange lightning attribute poison inside its mouth. Once contaminated by this poison, a person loses all ability to act and becomes easy prey for the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast."
At that moment, Zhang Heng cautiously informed Ding Fan as he ran, for he had just seen the gradually forming lightning poison in the mouth of the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast.
Listening to Zhang Heng’s words, Ding Fan furrowed his brows deeply, twisting his head slightly. His pupils contracted sharply as he vividly saw the nearly completed lightning attribute poison inside the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast’s mouth.
Seeing this, Ding Fan’s heart tightened. He knew that the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast was extremely eerie. Ding Fan had never encountered such a Yuan Beast before, nor did he know how to deal with such a powerful creature.
As the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast watched Ding Fan and Zhang Heng flee rapidly, the lightning beam in its mouth had been fully formed. It roared fiercely and opened its mouth wide, spewing the lightning attribute poison in the direction of Ding Fan mercilessly.
When Ding Fan witnessed this, a wave of indescribable fear surged in his heart.
As the lightning beam was expelled from the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast, it almost immediately formed a massive lightning bolt that charged toward Ding Fan and Zhang Heng with incredible speed.
"Se... Senior, run fast! It’s too fast!"
Hearing Zhang Heng’s voice, sweat broke out on Ding Fan’s forehead, as the lightning was incredibly fast. Even at his maximum speed, Ding Fan couldn’t match even a tenth of its velocity.
"Zhang Heng, is there no way to dodge this lightning?"
Ding Fan shouted at Zhang Heng in panic, his eyes filled with grave concern.
Listening to Ding Fan, Zhang Heng’s mouth twitched before speaking solemnly:
"Senior, the lightning poison from the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast follows the scent of a person or Yuan Beast relentlessly. As long as we emit this scent, the lightning poison won’t lose track."
As Zhang Heng’s words reached him, Ding Fan was taken aback, for he hadn’t imagined that the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast could possess such bizarre abilities.
Within just a few breaths, the lightning poison was already within a few meters behind them. Despair filled the eyes of both Ding Fan and Zhang Heng, as behind them loomed not only the lethal lightning poison but also the massive Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast.
When Ding Fan and Zhang Heng exhausted their strength, that would be the time for the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast to consume them. With this realization, Ding Fan unleashed his Divine Sense, and beads of sweat trickled down his face.
"Senior... are we beyond saving?"
Zhang Heng’s voice trembled, for he had never encountered a situation this perilous. As he watched the lightning beam drawing closer, despair consumed his heart.
Yet, Ding Fan seemed oblivious to Zhang Heng’s words. Scanning around with his Divine Sense, a hint of delight appeared on his lips as he spotted a towering tree.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Ding Fan accelerated, making a beeline for the lush tree.
Witnessing Ding Fan’s actions, Zhang Heng was filled with astonishment. He couldn’t fathom why Ding Fan would rush toward an ordinary-looking tree at such a crucial time.
However, Zhang Heng didn’t have time to ponder as Ding Fan pulled him along. In a flash, they arrived beneath the tree, with the lightning poison from the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast’s mouth not far behind. The poison, seemingly provoked by Ding Fan, picked up speed, closing the gap between them to less than ten centimeters.
"Is this the end...?"
Zhang Heng closed his eyes slowly, for before them stood a sky-piercing tree. With it barring their way, Zhang Heng couldn’t imagine an escape from the lightning poison.
As despair settled in Zhang Heng’s heart, a strange smile appeared on Ding Fan’s lips. Pausing for a moment, he exerted his leg muscles and, in a swift move, carried Zhang Heng into the tree.
The lightning poison, too fast to react, smashed into the tree just as Ding Fan and Zhang Heng vanished.
Seeing the poison collide with the tree, Zhang Heng’s eyes widened in disbelief, for he hadn’t expected Ding Fan to evade the lightning poison in such a manner.
Realizing the strategy, excitement surged in Zhang Heng’s heart, for the feeling of escaping death was exhilarating. However, before he could fully relish it, the lightning poison on the tree began to slowly reassemble.
"What... what on earth is happening? How can this lightning poison still regroup after colliding with the big tree?!"
At this moment, Zhang Heng watched the scene in front of him and exclaimed in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief. Meanwhile, upon hearing Zhang Heng’s voice, Ding Fan’s face showed no surprise at all—in truth, he had already anticipated this situation.
After all, this is the lightning poison of the Xuanyuan Swallowing Sky Beast. If a mere tree could stop it, it would truly undermine his formidable reputation.
At this point, the lightning poison began to gather once more, and within just a few breaths, it regained its previous scale. Ding Fan’s lips curled slightly in a teasing smile, and he began to climb up the tree.
Within just a few breaths, Ding Fan climbed with Zhang Heng to a height of several dozen meters.
Watching Ding Fan’s peculiar actions, Zhang Heng’s eyes were filled with confusion. Truth be told, he couldn’t comprehend what Ding Fan was doing. They knew it wouldn’t take long for the lightning poison to chase them again, and it was uncertain whether this tree was the nemesis of the lightning poison.
"Senior..."
Before Zhang Heng could finish speaking, Ding Fan let out a cold snort, glaring at Zhang Heng with a stern look in his eyes.
Seeing Ding Fan’s gaze, Zhang Heng felt a shiver run through his body, but out of trust, he said nothing more.
True to expectation, before Ding Fan climbed much higher, the lightning poison completely gathered again, releasing bolts of lightning gradually, looking extremely bizarre.
A massive lightning orb formed, charging rapidly towards Ding Fan and Zhang Heng. Seeing this, Zhang Heng’s nerves almost jumped out of his skin.
"Senior... hurry and run!"
Zhang Heng desperately wished to leap from the tree immediately, but Ding Fan slowly turned his body, smiling at the swift lightning orb beneath them.
"Senior! Run quickly! The lightning poison is about to catch up with us, why are you still sitting here waiting to die?"
Zhang Heng pleaded anxiously.
However, Ding Fan merely glanced at Zhang Heng with amusement and then said softly:
"Run for what? We’re already safe now; this lightning poison poses no threat to us."
Listening to Ding Fan’s words, Zhang Heng was momentarily stunned, not understanding what Ding Fan was relying on. Yet, with the lightning orb closing in, Zhang Heng knew if they didn’t run, they’d soon meet their end.
With that thought, Zhang Heng cast a brief look at Ding Fan before turning to flee, shouting as he ran:
"Senior, run! If we don’t, we’ll die."
Ding Fan just laughed and looked at Zhang Heng, then leisurely hung half of his body from the tree, showing no trace of tension or panic.
During their conversation, the lightning beam rushed fiercely toward Ding Fan at a speed indistinguishable to the naked eye, but just as it approached Ding Fan, a giant yellow barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.
As the yellow barrier appeared, the lightning orb collided violently with it, causing intense waves to ripple out from the barrier, looking exceptionally dazzling.
"What... what is happening? Where did this yellow barrier come from?"
Witnessing this sudden scene, Zhang Heng’s eyes were filled with horror, and his face was full of disbelief.
At this moment, seeing the barrier appear in front of him, Ding Fan’s lips formed an arc, he raised his lips slightly and thought to himself, it’s here.
With the lightning poison blocked by the sudden yellow barrier, a massive figure slowly descended from the tree. As this figure climbed down, Zhang Heng’s mouth opened wide in astonishment, and a terrified voice escaped his lips.
"Xuanwu Behemoth?"
Truth be told, Zhang Heng never imagined they could encounter two ancient-level Yuan Beasts in a single day within the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range. The Xuanwu Behemoth is indeed a very ancient Yuan Beast, with traces of the Divine Beast Xuanwu’s bloodline, its wrath explosive and power limitless.
