Iron-Metal Beast!

A Fierce Beast that fed on iron ore!

Its combat power was extraordinarily terrifying!

When Lin Mu saw this Fierce Beast, his expression changed slightly.

He knew very well that this Iron-Metal Beast had probably not yet reached adulthood.

Yet its Blood Qi Value had definitely surpassed 9.0.

The Blood Qi Values of the two of them hovered only around 8.0.

With their current strength, defeating such a Fierce Beast was nothing but a fantasy.

"Finally found it!" A glint of excitement flashed through Qian Mu's eyes.

"You're not joking, are you? You want to fight something like that?" Lin Mu asked.

"Of course. I've studied it for a long time and know its Vital Gate, but I'll need your help!" Qian Mu said.

Lin Mu nodded. "I can help, but I can't promise I won't run away!"

"I believe in you!"

Lin Mu felt embarrassed!

Believe in him!?

He did not even believe in himself.

"Though Iron-Metal Beasts are formidable, this one before us should still be immature. Its Blood Qi Value is between 9.0 and 9.3. And they have a weakness—their Mental Power is very weak. As long as we use mental interference, we can affect their movements!"

Qian Mu took out a Music Box.

An abstruse aura emanated from the Music Box.

Lin Mu could sense that it was a highly unusual mental imprint.

Clearly, this Music Box was capable of launching mental attacks.

"As long as we use the Music Box, its combat power will be affected by the sonic assault. But the Music Box has a limited attack range, so you'll need to hold it!" Qian Mu said.

"I'll be in charge of interference, and you'll be in charge of attacking?" Lin Mu asked.

Qian Mu nodded. "That's roughly what I mean!"

"Fine, then!" Lin Mu said.

Qian Mu took a deep breath, took out several pills and swallowed them, then looked at the Iron-Metal Beast before him with a trace of resolve in his eyes.

Lin Mu adjusted his breathing, the Music Box in his hand.

"Move!" Qian Mu said.

His figure charged toward the Iron-Metal Beast.

Noticing him, the Iron-Metal Beast let out a roar.

Its massive palm swung toward him.

It was astonishingly fast, tearing through the air with sharp whistles.

Facing such an attack, Qian Mu swiftly dodged. In a flash, he appeared behind the Iron-Metal Beast, and the iron staff in his hand smashed down at it.

But the Iron-Metal Beast reacted quickly. It spun around and slapped at Qian Mu once more.

Seeing this, Lin Mu opened the Music Box and unleashed the Dragon Roaming Step, charging toward the Iron-Metal Beast.

Waves of sound surged forth along with him.

Affected by the sound waves, the Iron-Metal Beast's movements stalled slightly.

Seizing this opening, Qian Mu quickly evaded and brought the iron staff in his hand down once again.

Bang!

Struck by the attack, the Iron-Metal Beast let out a pained cry.

But it quickly came to its senses, its two claws whipping through the air and turning into a flurry of afterimages in an instant.

A savage aura rose from Qian Mu's body as the iron staff in his hand danced without pause.

The two engaged in close combat.

By comparison, Qian Mu was more agile and had more varied techniques.

Yet whether in defense or offense, the Iron-Metal Beast far surpassed Qian Mu. Under such circumstances, Qian Mu was beaten back step by step.

Lin Mu adjusted his position and continually followed the Iron-Metal Beast, the Music Box in his hand sending out wave after wave of sound.

In this state, the Iron-Metal Beast's movements were greatly affected.

From time to time, it would lapse into a dazed state.

A flicker of fury appeared in its eyes.

Its gaze turned toward Lin Mu, and it let out a roar.

It lunged fiercely at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu's expression changed. Though he had been prepared, he had never expected the Iron-Metal Beast to be this fast.

He darted aside, Dragon's Roar ringing out from his body.

But the Iron-Metal Beast's attacks were incomparably fierce, its savage onslaught crashing down without pause.

Qian Mu charged over at that moment and unleashed a Martial Skill to help, but before even a few exchanges had passed, he was sent flying by the Iron-Metal Beast.

"This thing is way too fierce!"

Lin Mu could not help saying.

"It must have gone berserk! Hold on! Once the berserk state ends, it'll fall into weakness!"

"Damn it, this thing is so fierce—how am I supposed to hold on? Why don't you do it?" Lin Mu could not help asking.

"I'm no match for it either!" Qian Mu said.

Lin Mu immediately felt as though he had been tricked. Holding the Music Box, he kept dodging and weaving.

But the Iron-Metal Beast was incredibly fast, and its strength was terrifyingly great.

Several times, he had nearly been caught.

If this continued, he would not be able to last much longer at all.

During another dodge, Lin Mu threw the Music Box in his hand toward Qian Mu.

A long blade appeared in his hand.

Thunder-Slaying Three Blades!

In an instant, violent Thunder Power surged forth, and Lin Mu's speed reached its limit.

He temporarily shook off the Iron-Metal Beast.

But the Iron-Metal Beast's eyes were brimming with hatred as it rushed after him.

Lin Mu hurriedly dodged, activating his Breathing Technique.

He discovered that under these circumstances, his Movement Technique seemed to be improving.

But every single dodge demanded every ounce of his strength.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"I should never have waded into this muddy water!"

Lin Mu thought to himself.

His figure kept shifting. Whenever he was on the verge of being unable to hold out, he would use Thunder-Slaying Three Blades to pull away from his opponent.

Yet each time, it did not last long before the beast caught up again.

Lin Mu was under immense pressure.

Even he himself did not notice it.

His Movement Technique was changing. Every movement was perfectly timed, allowing him to narrowly evade the Iron-Metal Beast's attacks.

Qian Mu watched this scene, surprise flickering in his eyes.

Because he knew very well that, by sheer accident, Lin Mu had entered an extremely profound state.

All of Lin Mu's focus was on dodging.

In the process, his Movement Technique was undergoing a transformation.

"I'd heard before that people could attain sudden enlightenment at the brink of life and death. I never thought he'd actually trigger it!" A faint smile appeared on Qian Mu's face.

He stretched his waist and slowly approached the Iron-Metal Beast.

Lin Mu had no mind to spare for what he was thinking. He merely kept dodging.

Because he could not possibly be a match for the Iron-Metal Beast.

More than ten minutes passed.

As Lin Mu dodged once more, the Iron-Metal Beast struck him.

His entire body was sent flying, and searing pain swept through him.

Seeing this, Qian Mu immediately rushed forward and activated the Music Box in his hand.

The Iron-Metal Beast's movements were affected.

"Arhat Eight Directions Staff!"

Qian Mu let out a roar, and thousands upon thousands of staff shadows crashed down upon the Iron-Metal Beast.

The Iron-Metal Beast let out a pained howl, and the scarlet in its eyes faded somewhat at that moment.

Its berserk state had ended!

Entered a weakened state!

In this state, Iron-Metal Beast's Blood Qi Value was below 7.0!

A glint of excitement flashed in Qian Mu's eyes as the Iron Staff in his hand swung without pause.

Dull thuds rang out one after another.

Iron-Metal Beast let out pained cries, its aura gradually weakening.

When another blow came down, Iron-Metal Beast collapsed to the ground, all life gone.

Qian Mu's eyes brimmed with excitement.

He had succeeded!

He had finally succeeded!

He had killed Iron-Metal Beast!
