Advanced Lord Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros, Slain!

Greenland Square had been a busy commercial plaza in City 003 before the Great Nirvana.

Now, countless monsters occupied it, and it had become a paradise where they made their home.

On the rooftop of a high-rise 500 meters in a straight line from Greenland Square, Li Jing watched silently.

In the square, a monster over 50 meters long lay motionless.

Its entire body was covered in dark brown, rocky scales, with crimson, magma-like patterns flowing through the gaps. Three massive, crimson-gold spiral horns rose from its head.

Its limbs were thick, its claws and fangs jutted outward, and its scaleless belly was covered by a layer of grayish-white membrane.

Its tail was over 20 meters long, swollen and covered in spikes at the end, like a meteor hammer.

Three slightly smaller monsters stood guard around it.

Two were mantis-like, their bodies pitch-black and around 20 meters long. They had slender frames and wings as thin as cicada wings, but each bore a pair of exaggerated scythe arms that glimmered with a cold light.

The other was a bear-like monster around 30 meters long, covered from head to toe in gray rock armor. Its massive head was filled with dark yellow fangs.

Most striking of all were its two bear paws, each three meters across and armed with claws a meter long.

Around these four powerful monsters were scattered other ordinary monsters, smaller and weaker.

A conservative estimate put the entire herd at over 2,000.

An Advanced Lord Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros, commanding two Primary Lord Shadow Blade Mantises, a Primary Lord Rock-Armored Giant Bear, and even more ordinary monsters. A good target!

Li Jing considered it to himself and decided to go after the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros.

With the double protection of the Black God Set and the Series 9 Combat Suit, Li Jing was confident that even if he couldn't win, he could escape.

With his worries behind him, why shouldn't he attempt to hunt an Advanced Lord monster with the strength of an Intermediate War God?

The Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros was among the finest Advanced Lord monsters. It could easily tear the earth apart and unleash a torrent of earth and stone over a thousand-meter area. It was exceptionally difficult to hunt, which kept the value of its core materials high.

Materials from an ordinary Advanced Lord monster sold for between 5 and 20 billion Huaxia Currency.

But materials from an Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros could fetch 18 to 20 billion Huaxia Currency, the highest price bracket.

Shadow Blade Mantises and Rock-Armored Giant Bears were also among the finest monsters of their level.

Materials from Primary Lord monsters sold for between 500 million and 3 billion Huaxia Currency, and materials from either of these two monsters could easily fetch over 2 billion.

If Li Jing's hunt went smoothly, he could earn over 20 billion Huaxia Currency.

Even if he couldn't deal with the strongest Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros, he could still kill the other three Primary Lord monsters and profit by over 6 billion Huaxia Currency.

That was more outrageous than running ten money-printing machines!

Drawing Tiger Thorn, his first-tier Origin Force weapon, Li Jing vanished from the rooftop.

He leaped down, smashing a huge crater into the ground, then headed straight for the nearby Greenland Square.

The tremendous noise immediately drew the attention of the monster herd occupying Greenland Square, led by the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros.

Sensing that Li Jing was no easy opponent, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros let out a low roar.

The Beast Soldier Level and Beast General Level monsters, the most numerous in the herd and serving as cannon fodder, surged toward Li Jing like a tide.

Faced with these ordinary cannon-fodder monsters, Li Jing couldn't even be bothered to use his movement technique. He simply relied on his physical prowess to charge straight through.

Tiger Thorn slashed again and again in his hand, carving a bloody path three meters wide, strewn with slick entrails and severed limbs.

Before Li Jing's overwhelming strength, the encircling monster herd that struck terror into ordinary fighters was as helpless as an earthen dam standing in the path of a great flood.

Of course, this was also because the herd wasn't large enough. If its numbers grew into the millions, forming a beast tide,

even a War God Level fighter could exhaust his stamina and die of fatigue.

The War God Lu Gang, who had died under siege by a rat tide a few years earlier, was a prime example.

Li Jing, however, had the Black God Set to protect him from all sides. Even a beast tide couldn't keep him there.

Roar!

Seemingly realizing that an ordinary monster herd's siege posed little threat to the human fighter before it, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros let out a low growl.

The ordinary Beast Soldier and Beast General Level monsters that had been surging toward Li Jing like a tide slowly retreated, though a trace of fear still lingered in their eyes.

Clearly, Li Jing's bloody slaughter just now, which could only be described as brutal, had frightened even these monsters, accustomed as they were to killing.

The horrifying sight of their companions charging in, only to be instantly reduced to severed limbs and remains as though they had plunged into a meat grinder, replayed in their minds, leaving a deep shadow over them.

After the herd slowly withdrew, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros and its two Primary Lord Shadow Blade Mantises and one Primary Lord Rock-Armored Giant Bear surrounded Li Jing from all sides, intent on making sure he never left.

Roar!

A bloodthirsty light flashed in the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros's eyes. With a low growl, its enormous body charged at Li Jing like a moving hill.

Its thick limbs left deep depressions in the ground with every step, and the three spiral, dark-gold pointed horns on its head glimmered coldly as it thrust them viciously at Li Jing.

The Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros's move seemed to signal some kind of command.

The two Shadow Blade Mantises and the Rock-Armored Giant Bear moved at the same moment, each launching its strongest attack at Li Jing from all sides.

Facing a situation that would have meant certain death for the vast majority of Intermediate War Gods, Li Jing calmly used the first level of the Instant Brilliance Secret Technique, turning into several afterimages.

His figure flickered as he quietly dodged the attacks of the four Lord-level Monsters, as well as the sneak attack the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros launched with the meteor hammer at the end of its tail after its first strike missed.

Before the Lord-level Monsters could react, he used Instant Radiance and Arc Light in succession, flashes of blade light shimmering like the Galaxy.

With the first level of Arc Light tripling his output, Li Jing's basic strength had already reached the High-level War God tier.

Driven by that power, the first-tier Origin Force weapon Tiger Thorn sliced through the defenses of the Primary Lord Shadow Blade Mantises and Rock-Armored Giant Bear, defenses they prided themselves on, as easily as a hot knife through butter.

In the blink of an eye, the three Primary Lord monsters under the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros's command were dead!

The situation had reversed in an instant!

The Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros now realized that things were somewhat dangerous. The human fighter before it seemed capable of threatening it.

With all its underlings dead, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros began to think of retreat.

But how could Li Jing let it have its way?

Li Jing, who had been somewhat uncertain before, had gained a more accurate assessment of his strength after that exchange.

Although his raw strength, including his physical abilities, still fell short, the might of the Black God Set and Tiger Thorn was enough for him to be called an Invincible War God.

Monster defenses that an ordinary Advanced War God had to exert every effort to break through might as well not have existed before Tiger Thorn.

Even if Li Jing's basic strength was somewhat lacking, the boost in attack power provided by Tiger Thorn was enough to make up the difference!

After nearly ten rounds of fierce combat, the Advanced Lord monster, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros, was slain!
