While Ghost Face was escaping and toying with Tong Lie and Su He, Shang Xiye's situation wasn't much better.

The dense, towering trees caught Shang Xiye off guard, leaving him with tattered clothes and several bloody scratches on the back of his hands and face.

That wasn't the worst part. To make matters worse, he fell directly onto the back of a ninth-tier fire rhinoceros!

The Fire Rhinoceros is the easiest four-legged beast to cultivate among all the demonic beasts.

Because they are born with demon cores, which can absorb spiritual energy on their own;

However, due to their generally low intelligence, they do not know how to transform into human form until they reach the first-rank great demon. Therefore, all rhinoceros beasts under the first-rank great demon still retain their beastly state and their ferocious and bloodthirsty habits.

This ninth-tier fire rhinoceros beast is currently in its most dangerous period, when its intelligence is about to awaken and its beastly nature is at its peak.

The Fire Rhinoceros was taking a nap when it was suddenly awakened. Upon opening its eyes, it immediately went into a berserk state!

It angrily got up, flipped Shang Xiye, who had just been knocked down, to the ground, and stomped down hard on Shang Xiye who was rolling on the ground with its front hooves!

Shang Xiye had not yet recovered from the grief of parting with his young wife. When he realized the life-or-death crisis, he instinctively rolled to the side.

Upon closer inspection, they met the Fire Rhinoceros's large, bloodshot eyes, which were now blazing red.

Oh no! A berserk monster!

Shang Xiye couldn't care less about anything else for a moment and tried to get up and back away with all her might, but she found that her spiritual power was almost completely drained!

His newly formed nascent soul was also blurry and showed signs of collapsing and falling back to the Core Formation stage at any moment.

Misfortunes never come singly!

Who would have thought that the ridiculous random teleportation array would actually drain the spiritual power of the teleporter!

Shang Xiye didn't care about his image. When the fire rhinoceros's iron hooves stomped down again, he rolled away like a lazy donkey to avoid it.

He took out a bottle of genuine spiritual liquid from his storage ring, tilted his head back and took a sip. While dodging the fierce attacks of the fire rhinoceros beast, he slowly swallowed it little by little, so as not to swallow too much at once and have too much spiritual power, which would cause his meridians to burst before he could recover.

"Buzz!"

The fire rhinoceros failed to stomp on the target more than ten times, and its rage soared to the heavens, its roar scaring away birds and beasts for miles around.

"Thump, thump!"

Crimson flames and sparks spewed from the fire rhinoceros's fist-sized nostrils.

It stomped its right foreleg twice on the ground, raised its head and inhaled a breath of spiritual energy, then suddenly spat out two tongues of fire at Shang Xiye!

"Hmph, playing with fire in front of me, you've made the right choice." A playful smile, which he himself didn't even realize, appeared on Shang Xiye's face. With a thought, he summoned Ji Yan: "It's been a long time since I fed you. Go and have your meal."

"Yo ho!"

Extreme Flame let out an excited howl and took the initiative to meet the two flames spewed out by the Fire Rhinoceros Beast.

The scarlet beast fire meeting the dark purple extreme flames was like a stream meeting a desert;

Although the crimson beast fire appeared to be more than a hundred times larger than the extreme flame, it was firmly attracted to the extreme flame and was quickly devoured and absorbed by it, leaving not a single spark behind.

If a demon beast with any intelligence were to see such a powerful flame that effectively counters beast fire, it would certainly not choose to use fire as an attack.

A ninth-tier fire rhinoceros beast is equivalent to a human cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage, and it could easily overwhelm Shang Xiye with its sheer power.

Unfortunately, the ninth-tier fire rhinoceros beast's intelligence was not fully developed; it only knew that fire attack was its strongest offensive method.

So it kept spewing beast fire to burn its enemies while simultaneously trampling them with its massive hooves.
