Chapter 190
“Wu!”
When the desolate beast horde heard the Pi Xiu desolate beast’s dragon roar, they were all trembling in fear. They stopped running and prostrated on the ground, letting out fearful whimpers.
The effect of a roar was even more obvious than when Xiao Chen went on a killing spree. It seemed like the Pi Xiu desolate beast’s deterrence to ordinary desolate beasts was extraordinary.
This was actually not strange. The Pi Xiu desolate beast was a descendant of the ancient Pi Xiu divine beast. Although its bloodline was not pure, it still had a trace of the Pi Xiu divine beast’s blood essence. It was this trace of Pi Xiu divine beast’s blood essence that gave the Pi Xiu desolate beast great potential and might.
When a Pi Xiu desolate beast matured, its strength could reach fifth-grade and above. Furthermore, it could constantly advance, becoming an even higher level existence. It was rumored that the Pi Xiu desolate beast could purify its bloodline. If it succeeded, it could absorb the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate to ninth-grade, or even a sacred beast. As for advancing to a divine beast, it was nearly impossible because the bloodline purification could not reach a hundred percent.
However, even if it could not become a sacred beast or a divine beast, the Pi Xiu desolate beast could still proclaim itself as a king in the vast wilderness, receiving the worship of all beasts. For example, when the desolate beast horde heard the Pi Xiu desolate beast’s angry roar, they immediately prostrated on the ground. They were horrified from the bottom of their hearts.
“Another Pi Xiu desolate beast has appeared in the periphery of the vast wilderness. Grandfather was previously injured by a Pi Xiu desolate beast, causing him to be poisoned. However, wasn’t that Pi Xiu killed by Grandfather?
Why is there another one appearing now?
Oh no!
Will Grandfather be in danger? ”
Thinking of something bad, Xiao Chen turned anxious. He ignored the desolate beasts around him and began running. However, he changed his direction. He did not run in the direction of the Pi Xiu, and subconsciously deviated from it.
Xiao Chen planned to circle around the Pi Xiu desolate beast and head for the cave that he and his grandfather lived in. He was not afraid of the Pi Xiu desolate beast, but he was worried that something had happened to his grandfather. This was because the uneasiness in his heart was even more intense. He wished he could immediately reach the cave to investigate and see if his grandfather was fine.
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen did not release his God’s Bestowment. His running speed was extremely fast. However, he tried his best to restrain his violent aura to prevent the Pi Xiu desolate beast from discovering him. However, doing so seemed redundant. This was because the commotion from his battle with the horde of beasts was too great. It was precisely because of this that he alarmed a passing Pi Xiu desolate beast.
“Yin!”
Indeed, just as Xiao Chen moved, the dragon’s roar sounded again. The sound seemed to be closer to Xiao Chen. Indeed, the Pi Xiu desolate beast was charging at Xiao Chen.
“This is troublesome!”
Xiao Chen naturally sensed that the Pi Xiu desolate beast was rapidly approaching him. His heart could not help but sink as he thought to himself that he was in trouble. He quickened his pace but the Pi Xiu desolate beast’s speed definitely exceeded Xiao Chen’s. It was nearly impossible for Xiao Chen to shake off the Pi Xiu desolate beast.
Not long after Xiao Chen disappeared into the depths of the forest, a small old man appeared in the area where Xiao Chen had just fought. His gaze swept across the numerous corpses of the desolate beasts in front of him and the countless desolate beasts that were crawling on the ground, shivering in fear. Then, he looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had left and his gaze slowly turned serious.
Based on his physique, this small old man was obviously the small old man who had followed Xiao Chen in the basin the night before. Unexpectedly, he had not left and was still observing Xiao Chen’s every move nearby.
At that moment, the sky was already bright. The small old man’s appearance was clear at a glance. He looked skinny and was none other than the Sha Clan’s patriarch, Sha Tian!
Why was Sha Tian tailing Xiao Chen?
He had addressed Xiao Chen as Young Master last night. Could Sha Tian be one of Xiao Chen’s unknown father’s family guards or secret guards?
Was Sha Tian secretly protecting Xiao Chen?
Or was he pursuing Xiao Chen’s background?
Things had become a little confusing.
“Those two roars earlier seemed to be from the Pi Xiu desolate beast. Furthermore, they were extremely powerful Pi Xiu desolate beasts. They should be at least Grade Six. Oh no!
The Pi Xiu desolate beast is pursuing Young Master Xiao Chen!
Motherf * cker!
B * stard, if you dare harm a single hair on Young Master Xiao Chen’s head, I’ll roast you and eat you! ”
Sha Tian’s expression changed drastically all of a sudden, and he cursed out loud. He leaped up and transformed into a shadow, shooting in the direction where Xiao Chen had left like a ghost.
This frightened the desolate beasts that were prostrating on the ground. This was because they sensed that this small old man was countless times more terrifying than the young man from before. It was as if they were facing the Pi Xiu Beast King. They could not muster up any will to resist at all. It was a fear that came from the bottom of their hearts and souls.
Judging by Sha Tian’s words and actions, Sha Tian did not seem to have any ill intentions toward Xiao Chen. Instead, he was secretly protecting Xiao Chen. Of course, it was possible that he was curious about where Xiao Chen was going, or that he wanted to know if Xiao Chen had any relatives.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A strange scene appeared in the periphery of the vast wilderness. A huge, odd-looking desolate beast was chasing after a human youth, while a small old man was chasing after the odd-looking desolate beast. It was as if the mantis was stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.
The youth was naturally Xiao Chen, while the small old man was Sha Tian. As for the grayish-white beast that had a dragon’s head, a horse’s body, and a qilin’s legs that looked like a lion, it was the rare Pi Xiu desolate beast.
Although Xiao Chen was very fast, the distance between him and the Pi Xiu desolate beast was rapidly closing. The situation was extremely disadvantageous to Xiao Chen. The Pi Xiu desolate beast’s aura was much stronger than Xiao Chen’s. Clearly, its strength was much stronger than Xiao Chen’s. If the Pi Xiu desolate beast caught up to Xiao Chen, he would be in danger.
Thankfully, the small old man behind the Pi Xiu desolate beast, Sha Tian, seemed to be here to save Xiao Chen. Furthermore, Sha Tian’s strength was stronger than the Pi Xiu desolate beast. In that case, Xiao Chen was considered lucky. However, Xiao Chen did not know that Sha Tian was following behind the Pi Xiu desolate beast. He was still fleeing for his life.
“Swoosh!”
Five minutes later, the Pi Xiu desolate beast finally caught up to Xiao Chen. When it was about two hundred feet away from Xiao Chen, it suddenly increased its speed and pounced at Xiao Chen. It was like a tiny mountain that wanted to grind the tiny Xiao Chen into mincemeat and tear him to pieces.
This Pi Xiu desolate beast was much bigger than Da Huang’s Lion King form. However, it was not as mighty as the Lion King. It gave off a strange feeling, and to put it bluntly, it was just too ugly.
“Rip!”
Xiao Chen sensed that the Pi Xiu desolate beast was pouncing at him. He knew that he could not dodge it with his speed, so he came to a sudden halt. He turned around and threw the yellow dog several feet to the right. The yellow dog’s body landed on a soft patch of grass.
The Pi Xiu desolate beast that Grandfather killed previously was much smaller than this one. Its strength should be at the fifth grade. With Grandfather’s strength, he shouldn’t be injured. Could Grandfather have been injured by this even stronger Pi Xiu desolate beast?
That should be the case … Xiao Chen had a stern expression as he quickly sized up the enormous and powerful Pi Xiu desolate beast over a hundred feet away. He had a realization in his heart.
I have to risk it!
Xiao Chen only pondered for a moment before he immediately focused his attention to face the huge danger in front of him. He knew that the Pi Xiu desolate beast’s strength was at least at the peak of the fifth grade. It might even be a sixth grade desolate beast, but Xiao Chen had no other way out. He could only fight to the death.
It seemed like Xiao Chen was once again at the end of the road.
“Swish!”
Since there was no way out, Xiao Chen decided to cut off all means of retreat and fight with his back to the river. He didn’t retreat and advanced instead. He charged at the Pi Xiu desolate beast as though he was committing suicide. He dragged the wooden sword with one hand and drew a deep trench on the ground with the heavy wooden sword.
At this moment, he wasn’t nervous or fearful. There was only coldness and … madness!
“Xiao Chen, dodge!”
Sha Zang Tian was now less than fifty feet behind the Pi Xiu. When he saw that Xiao Chen didn’t choose to dodge when facing the Pi Xiu desolate beast that was stronger than him and chose to clash head-on instead, he was instantly shocked. His face instantly turned pale as he couldn’t help but exclaim. At the same time, he struck out two palm strikes in the air.
“Swish! Swish!”
Two palm-sized light palms shot out from his palms and blasted at the back of the Pi Xiu desolate beast.
These two palm-sized light palms weren’t big, but they were as resplendent as blazing flames. It felt like a miniature version of Sha Zang Tian’s Vajra Palm, but the power was several folds or even more than the Vajra Palm.
