Chapter 141: Battle with the Guardian Beast
Although they had tried their best, the monster was too powerful. The two of them only felt a huge force coming, and their bodies flew backwards involuntarily. They flew a full ten feet away before they could barely stabilize themselves.
In comparison, Zhao Haoxuan's condition was slightly better. He just had blood boiling and his face looked a little pale.
But Wang Xinyao was not so lucky. She was originally slightly weaker in strength, and the previous attack was extremely powerful. She was now seriously injured. A mouthful of bright red blood suddenly spurted out, drawing a shocking arc in the air.
"Xinyao..." Zhao Haoxuan felt heartbroken when he saw Wang Xinyao was so seriously injured that he couldn't help but shout her name loudly.
At this moment, the monster saw that Wang Xinyao had no strength to fight back, so it pounced on her again with its fangs and claws bared, obviously wanting to kill her in one fell swoop.
It happened so quickly that Zhao Haoxuan had no time to think, and even ignored the pain in his body. He jumped up from the ground and ran towards Wang Xinyao.
In the blink of an eye, he had stood in front of Wang Xinyao and endured the heavy palm from the monster.
There was only a muffled sound, and Zhao Haoxuan felt as if he had been hit hard. His body trembled violently, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the front of his shirt red.
He endured the severe pain and clenched his teeth to prevent himself from falling.
The monster was slightly stunned when it saw that Zhao Haoxuan dared to stand up and block the fatal blow for Wang Xinyao.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Xinyao was extremely anxious, knowing that if she did not fight back at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.
So, she endured the injuries and took action quickly. With a wave of her jade hand, dozens of silver needles flashing with cold light shot out instantly, shooting towards the vital parts of the monster's body like raindrops.
The ferocious monster had no idea that Wang Xinyao actually had a hidden weapon. It was caught off guard for a moment. Several silver needles flashing with cold light shot out like lightning and hit its huge body directly.
However, the monster's fur was surprisingly thick, and although the silver needles hit it, they did not cause any substantial damage to it.
However, what was unexpected was that several silver needles happened to pierce the monster's neck and face, which were relatively vulnerable parts, making it feel pain and anger in an instant.
The demon beast was now enraged. Its eyes widened like copper bells, and a scorching breath blew out of its mouth. It roared viciously, "Damn human, how dare you hurt me so boldly!"
Before he finished speaking, he gave up attacking Zhao Haoxuan without hesitation and instead slapped Wang Xinyao with his strong and powerful hands.
Seeing that Wang Xinyao was about to fail to dodge and was facing a life-and-death crisis, Zhao Haoxuan was extremely anxious.
Although he himself was seriously injured, he gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed the surging blood and qi in his body, and leaped into the air. The dragon sword in his hand gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight, and with the force of thunder, it pierced the monster's giant palm.
Seeing this, the monster had to temporarily change the direction of its attack and quickly retract its palm to avoid Zhao Haoxuan's sharp sword moves.
But the rage in its heart grew stronger. It turned around and slapped Zhao Haoxuan with all its might, roaring, "Despicable human! Today I will tear you into pieces!"
Zhao Haoxuan knew very well that he was seriously injured and could not fight the monster for a long time, but he still did not retreat and used all his strength to wield the dragon sword to fight.
At the same time, he did not forget to shout loudly: "Xinyao, run! Don't worry about me..."
But how could Wang Xinyao abandon Zhao Haoxuan and escape alone at this critical moment?
She quickly retrieved the Soul Gathering Pills from her space and swallowed two without hesitation. The pills melted in her throat, their powerful medicinal power rapidly spreading throughout her limbs and bones, gradually restoring her previously weakened body to strength.
After her strength recovered a little, a hint of determination flashed in Wang Xinyao's eyes. She shouted and rushed towards the monster like a gust of wind with the sword in her hand, joining this thrilling battle without hesitation.
"Brother Zhao, quickly take these two Spirit Gathering Pills!" Wang Xinyao shouted delicately, and threw out two pills that were flashing with faint spiritual light, and rushed towards Zhao Haoxuan like meteors.
Zhao Haoxuan's eyes focused, his body flashed, and he caught the two elixirs accurately.
He put it into his mouth without hesitation, and a strong spiritual power instantly spread throughout his body.
The originally tired body seemed to be injected with new vitality and recovered to its peak condition in the blink of an eye.
The two looked at each other, and each felt the powerful aura emanating from the other again.
They launched a new round of attacks in perfect harmony, with fierce moves and powerful momentum, which made the monster look sideways.
Seeing its opponent recover so quickly, the monster was secretly surprised and sped up its attack. Its sharp claws swung through the air, emitting streaks of cold light and stirring up gusts of wind as it charged towards the two men.
While Wang Xinyao struggled to fend off the monster's attacks, she anxiously shouted, "Brother Zhao, if this continues, we won't be able to hold out for much longer! Sooner or later, we'll be defeated like before. I wonder if you've figured out the Dragon and Phoenix Sword attack method yet?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan responded loudly, "Xinyao, I've seen the Dragon and Phoenix Sword technique. Let's practice it together and see how powerful it is!"
After saying that, he moved his feet and approached Wang Xinyao quickly like a ghost.
"Hmph! Haha, damn human, you think you can defeat me with this little trick? It's simply a pipe dream!" Seeing this, the monster roared in anger. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a ball of blazing flames in an attempt to prevent Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao from meeting up.
However, at this moment, a clear dragon roar and a high-pitched phoenix cry suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire forest.
Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao finally succeeded in performing the unique skill of dragon and phoenix sword.
The two long swords clashed, radiating light as they transformed into a dragon and a phoenix, swirling and dancing. The sword energy crisscrossed, destroying vegetation and shattering rocks wherever it passed.
The monster felt unprecedented terror, and its initial contempt turned into fear. He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The combined dragon and phoenix swords carried powerful force and rushed straight towards the monster. Although the monster tried its best to resist, it was unable to withstand it.
After several rounds, a strong light flashed, and the huge body of the monster fell down with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao put away the swords in their hands, as if the blades still retained the residual warmth and sharpness brought by the fierce battle just now.
The two looked at each other, and when their eyes met, they could clearly see the relief of surviving the disaster deep in each other's eyes.
