Blood-Red Romance
Under the night sky, the wind howled, and the monster flew at top speed.
Excluding its fleshy wings, its body was over three meters long, strong and powerful, and carried a bloody smell. Who knows how many people it had eaten last night.
Wang Xuan was certain that this monster possessed a very high level of power, and even ordinary grandmasters would not be able to deal with it.
He originally intended to tear off Zhao Qinghan's protective suit and inner armor so that they would fall to the ground together, but he did not expect the monster to take off so quickly.
He's too scared now, afraid they'll both fall to their deaths.
The monster flapped its fleshy wings, broke through the mist above the mountains and forests, and rushed into the unknown area.
Zhao Qinghan's face was pale, and she was somewhat sad at first, but when she saw Wang Xuan leap into the air without regard for the consequences at the last moment, her expression softened and she was very grateful.
Not long ago, in her final moments, she was in despair, feeling abandoned by the entire world. Even the grandmasters of the New Arts Domain she had invited retreated, and no one dared to pursue her. She could only shut her mouth and say nothing more.
Because she knew that if even a grandmaster wouldn't dare to rescue her, then no one else would have the power to do so.
Even Zheng Rui, who had been subtly pursuing her, was avoiding her. The near-master of Old Arts who had come with her from her home also stopped in his tracks, leaving her only to sigh.
She hadn't expected that Wang Xuan, whom she hadn't seen during the last period, would suddenly appear, leap into the air, and grab her ankle.
At that moment, she almost burst into tears, feeling as if she had been reintegrated into this world.
Wang Xuan tossed aside the alloy knife, grabbed Zhao Qinghan's legs, and leaped up her soft body in a few quick movements, grabbing one of the monster's hind legs.
Zhao Qinghan's face turned pale as she watched the land recede into the distance and the mountains shrink in size. She whispered, "You shouldn't have chased after us. You'll die too."
The wind was strong, scattering her words, so she had to shout them out loud.
"Don't be afraid, it's alright!" Wang Xuan said, wanting to give the monster a good whack and make it slowly fall to the ground.
But he was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the heat properly, and that the beast and the two of them would all be smashed into mincemeat.
"Hold on tight! Otherwise, if this monster lets go, you'll fall from the sky!" Wang Xuan shouted.
Zhao Qinghan did as she was told, opening her arms and quickly hugging him tightly.
Before long, the monster released its claws. Once freed, it tried to kill the man who had been clinging to it like a leech.
Wang Xuan drew his short sword and slashed at its outstretched Great Claw.
The monster's Great Claw gleamed with a cold light and were extremely sharp, but they were no match for the short sword and were cut off in one stroke. This startled the monster, and its body trembled.
Wang Xuan didn't hold back and struck the monster's hind leg, drawing blood there, but he dared not pierce its vital points, fearing it would be exhausted.
"Where is it going to fly to?" Zhao Qinghan asked, her voice trembling as she held Wang Xuan in her arms. Looking down at the earth from the night sky, she was truly afraid of heights; one wrong move and she would be smashed to pieces.
"It's probably heading to its lair. Don't worry, just treat it as a trip to the Secret Realm Under the Moon." Wang Xuan gripped the monster's leg with one hand and held a short sword in the other, studying how to make his move.
"Clang clang clang!"
He quickly cut off the sharp claws on the monster's two hind legs, essentially trimming its nails to prevent it from struggling and hurting people from time to time.
Unfortunately, the monster's forepaws were a bit too far for him to reach, and he was also afraid that if he jumped over them, he might accidentally throw Zhao Qinghan off.
"Roar..."
The monster let out a deep, muffled growl, its first sound of its kind. Its eyes were cold and menacing, its fury palpable. It was enraged that its toenails had been "fixed" for no reason.
"What are you yelling about? You can brag about having your feet personally trimmed by Ancestor Wang for the rest of your life!" Wang Xuan stabbed it in the leg again as a form of instruction, letting the blood flow.
"However, you won't have a chance to brag for the rest of your life. Tonight, I'll chop you up!" Wang Xuan studied how to bleed it, gradually weaken it, so that it would fall to the ground on its own.
However, the monster was very fierce. After being stabbed by the short sword, it struggled violently and twice even flipped over in the air, trying to throw the two of them off.
Wang Xuan dared not push it too hard and could only wait for it to land on its own.
At the same time, he reminded Zhao Qinghan to hold on tight and to tell him in advance if she ran out of strength.
Zhao Qinghan nodded and said, "I am a minor expert, and I won't be exhausted in a short time."
This was an experience she had never had before, actually "riding" on a monster with Wang Xuan, traversing a misty sky.
Distracted and less tense, Zhao Qinghan frowned and asked, "What's on you that's so hard?"
Wang Xuan was speechless for a moment, and said, "At a time like this, what are you still thinking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Zhao Qinghan's feelings of gratitude and appreciation had to subside temporarily, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
"What are you thinking about?!" She raised her voice, looked up at him, and revealed a beautiful, fair face under the moonlight, but a blush gradually appeared on her face, and her hair fluttered in the wind.
"Steel plate, for self-defense!" Wang Xuan suddenly realized and immediately replied.
Zhao Qinghan hugged his waist and gently tapped it twice. Sure enough, there was a steel plate inside his clothes, making a metallic rattling sound. It was at least two or three inches thick.
Wang Xuan was not only wearing a protective suit, but also had steel plates inserted, which warrants caution in a densely populated area!
Under the moonlight, the monster carried them across the sky, scaring away many night birds.
Wang Xuan said, "This monster is clearly more than ten times stronger than its kind. It has undergone a complete transformation and must have eaten some rare treasure. Perhaps there are extraordinary herbs near its lair."
Zhao Qinghan looked worried. This ferocious beast was incredibly powerful, reaching the level of a grandmaster. If it were to land, it might tear them apart immediately.
She suspected that the monster was leading them to feed the cubs.
"If this ferocious beast lands, we'll scatter and escape. Don't worry about me this time. As long as one of us survives, that's one less chance. Don't even think about coming back to save me!"
Zhao Qinghan sighed softly. Although Wang Xuan had performed very well and was full of courage, he would have no chance against a master-level monster.
The main problem is that she was unaware that the Old Arts Realm contained secret paths like Inner Realm and Heavenly Medicine, so she couldn't accurately assess Wang Xuan's strength.
Wang Xuan said, "The short sword in my hand is made by a master craftsman and is extremely sharp. Before it hits the ground, I will strike its vital points. If I have a chance to fight my way out, we will not die."
Zhao Qinghan had indeed noticed the short sword in his hand long ago and found it strange. After taking another look, she couldn't help but say, "Looking at its design, it seems a bit like the Fish Intestine Ancient Sword?"
Wang Xuan calmly replied, "It was made by a master craftsman from the Old Earth. It is definitely many times sharper than the real Fish-Gut Sword. After all, it is made of a special alloy material, not bronze."
A beastly roar came from afar; another master-level monster was chasing after them and was about to catch up.
One male and one female, the two ferocious beasts will soon meet.
Wang Xuan sighed, "A battle is destined to take place tonight. The moonlit night will roam the secret land, adorned with the blood of ferocious beasts. It can be considered a bloody romance."
He figured he would have to reveal his master-level strength.
