Jiang Fan's throat moved with difficulty.
Cold sweat poured down his body like a waterfall!
This Beast King, wasn't it being hunted down by Xu Qingyang?
Why did it come back?
Moreover, he had taken away the inner core of its subordinate right in front of it.
Xu Yining was even more rigid, her eyes filled with fear without a trace of vacancy left.
They never dreamed of.
Encountering the strongest existence among these Beast Kings!
This was akin to a terrifying existence level comparable to a Supreme Elder.
In the Demon Beast Realm, it was also ranked among the top fifteen Great Demons!
Encountering it, where was there even a shred of hope for survival?
Jiang Fan's cold sweat flowed profusely.
Despite having a Nascent Soul Strike Jade Token, he dared not act rashly.
He had seen Leng Gu in action.
It was as fast as a shadow, imperceptible to the naked eye.
If he dared to move, the Jade Token would likely be destroyed before he could take it out, and he would be beheaded.
Leng Gu walked with his hands behind his back.
He stepped on the ground, causing thunderous sounds, slowly approaching them.
He spoke in an eerily sinister human voice, "A small Foundation Establishment Realm, yet capable of killing my mid-Core Formation Beast King."
"No one would believe it if I said it!"
"What kind of magical treasure did you use? Take it out, and I might consider sparing your life."
He glanced at the two halves of the Copper Scale Black Centipede's corpse, realizing something.
A trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
The scales of the Copper Scale Black Centipede were known for their hardness; even its claws could hardly break them.
The young man before him could sever the Copper Scale Black Centipede at the waist!
It was evident he had some extremely sharp object.
If it was a natural magical treasure, that would be perfect; being a demon beast, he could also use it.
Jiang Fan regained a trace of calm.
No matter what the creature, once its spiritual wisdom reached a certain level, it would show its greedy nature.
As long as it didn't kill him immediately, he still had a chance to fight back!
"Fine, I'll give you the thing, but don't come closer, or I would rather destroy it," Jiang Fan shouted.
Leng Gu's eyes narrowed.
He disdained bargaining with Jiang Fan, but since the nature of the magical treasure was unknown, whether it could indeed be destroyed was also uncertain.
So, his step forward slowly retracted.
Across a hundred zhang distance, they conversed through the air, "Take it out and let me see."
To a Beast King of his level.
What difference did ten zhang or a hundred zhang make?
If he decided to kill, the Humans before him would surely die.
Jiang Fan took a breath, "I'll give it to you."
He reached into his bosom, feeling for the jade box containing the Nascent Soul Jade Token, and opened it deftly.
Just as he was about to take it out.
Leng Gu sharply sensed an extremely dangerous aura.
His expression changed, and in fury, he shouted, "You're seeking death!"
No matter what that thing was!
Anything that made his Ninth Layer Core Formation self feel immense danger was certainly extremely perilous.
He couldn't let him take it out!
He left an afterimage where he stood.
His massive and terrifying body appeared in front of Jiang Fan in an instant.
Jiang Fan's pupils contracted sharply!
Before he could grasp the Jade Token, Leng Gu decisively struck Jiang Fan's chest with a claw.
Jiang Fan's vision darkened.
Only this thought occupied his mind.
Before absolute power, any struggle was in vain!
A sharp pain quickly followed!
That was the pain of claws piercing through the armor and reaching the flesh.
This bit of pain made Jiang Fan suddenly excited, his blank brain stimulated and spinning rapidly.
Jiang Fan's vision brightened!
At the moment when the claws were about to penetrate the armor and pierce through it.
Jiang Fan's chest puffed out, and he shouted, "Open!"
He wore a pink Buddha jade pendant on his chest.
It was given to him by Yue Mingzhu at the bottom of the cliff, telling him not to use it unless at a life-and-death moment.
Though he didn't know how useful it was.
Or whether it could block a shot from the Ninth Layer of Core Formation.
But at this moment, he could only try!
He pushed the pendant with his chest, and as the spiritual power burst forth, it shattered instantly.
A pink mist gushed out at once, forming a spherical shield around Jiang Fan.
The spherical shield instantly bounced Leng Gu away!
The claw that had pierced into Jiang Fan's body was forcibly broken.
Leng Gu let out a painful howl, staring in shock at the pink shield around Jiang Fan:
"A Ninth Layer Core Formation defensive pendant?"
A person who could own such a precious defensive pendant could not be a simple human?
Jiang Fan was stunned.
The pendant given by Yue Mingzhu was of such high grade?
With this shield, could Leng Gu do nothing to him?
He decisively took out the Nascent Soul Jade Token, holding it in his hand, coldly shouting, "Get lost! Or taste its power!"
Leng Gu drew in a sharp breath, his tiny blood-colored eyes trembling as if an earthquake had hit.
"A Nascent Soul Strike Jade Token!"
A Ninth Layer Core Formation defensive charm was one thing, but even having a Nascent Soul Strike Jade Token!
This terrifying token, even a real Nascent Soul Realm expert, would not dare to face it head-on.
However, how could he be willing to leave?
The young human before him was likely an extremely important person.
If he could be brought back to the young master, he might make amends!
Xu Qingyang failed to kill him due to reinforcements arriving, but Xu Qingyang also couldn't be retained.
If he couldn't bring back Xu Qingyang's head, it would be his head that would be required!
The young human before him was his hope of survival!
But he carried precious treasures.
He could not defeat him for the moment.
His peripheral vision caught Xu Yining, a cruel smile appeared on his lips, and he laughed coldly:
"You can protect yourself."
"But can you protect your companion?"
He disappeared again, leaving an afterimage.
This time, he charged towards Xu Yining!
"No!" Jiang Fan roared, not daring to activate the Nascent Soul Jade Token.
Because the attack range of this Jade Token was vast.
It would kill Xu Yining as well!
Jiang Fan suddenly touched the Infinite Ring on his finger.
A thought crossed his mind, and he shouted loudly, "Xu Yining, get out of the way!"
He then raised his hand suddenly, pointing at the spot between Xu Yining and the afterimage.
Although he could not capture Leng Gu's figure.
The gravity range of the Infinite Ring was large enough!
Xu Yining reacted, quickly retreating.
As she barely stepped back a few paces!
An invisible mighty force appeared out of nowhere.
It pressed downward abruptly.
The sword in Xu Yining's hand was caught within the range.
It was instantly crushed into powder on the spot!
A thunderous roar erupted!
It was as if the heavens and earth had crumbled!
The ground in front of him was pressed into a huge pit tens of feet deep by the terrifying power!
The unparalleled strength caused an earthquake.
The surrounding ground shook continuously, throwing Xu Yining to the ground on the spot.
Thick cracks, as wide as a person's body, radiated outward from the giant pit, stretching for a mile!
The aftershocks of the earthquake swept across hundreds of miles around.
Birds and beasts fled in panic.
A towering cloud of dust surged into the sky like a yellow dragon.
It took dozens of breaths before.
The earthquake subsided.
The thick dust hung in the air for a long time!
Through the dust, Xu Yining looked at the terrifying pit in front of her, gasping sharply!
In the pit lay Leng Gu, whose whole body was covered with cracks, like a shattered porcelain.
His ten sharp claws had broken inch by inch.
His limbs were densely covered with fissures.
His torso was also full of shocking cracks.
As if it would shatter upon a touch.
At this moment, he was on his last breath, seemingly unable to move even a bit.
Only his eyes could still move.
His blood-red eyes trembling, he asked in horror, "What…what is that thing?"
