"That's a long story." Mu Hanyan was just about to briefly recount her story of coming to Shangyue Kingdom when she heard the furious roar of the violent stone monster not far away.
It's just a few slashes of my sword, but it's been over half a month and you're still mad. How could you hold such a grudge? Mu Hanyan was truly impressed by the persistence of the violent stone monster.
"Let's go." Mu Hanyan had no time to feel sorry for herself, nor to explain. She picked up Yue Xiuming and prepared to continue escaping.
Yue Xiuming became more and more clever, and his movements were even faster than Mu Hanyan. As soon as he heard the roar of the beast, he immediately stretched his neck over.
This time, the violent stone monster obviously came faster. Just when Mu Hanyan grabbed Yue Xiuming's neck and lifted him up, the tall figure that seemed to be carved out of rock appeared in sight.
As soon as they saw Mu Hanyan and Yue Xiuming, the rage of the two violent stone beasts was ignited again. They let out a deafening roar and rushed forward with big strides. Wherever they passed, towering trees were broken in half, rocks nearly ten feet high were trampled into pieces, and the earth trembled.
"Violent Stone Monster!" Xia Youchen's face changed. If he hadn't been injured, with his great swordsmanship, he could have managed to deal with the Violent Stone Monster for a while. Unfortunately, he was still injured, so how could he be a match for it, especially with not just one, but two.
Xia Youchen took a deep breath and prepared to continue escaping.
"Roar..." At this moment, Xiao Qiongqi roared and rushed towards the violent stone monster.
"No!" Mu Hanyan was shocked.
She remembered hearing Taowu say that in ancient times, divine beasts, led by the Four Fierce Beasts, had contracts with various ferocious birds and beasts across the continent. The Aolai Divine Beast, in turn, had signed contracts with the Four Fierce Beasts and other divine beasts, thus commanding the entire beast clan. The Qiongqi Divine Beast, meanwhile, had signed a contract with the Violent Stone Demon Beast, and the mark of that contract had been passed down through generations through their bloodline.
However, the two violent stone monsters in front of him had their spiritual imprints wiped out of their blood, so that Taowu's divine beast power was completely ineffective on them. Wouldn't Xiao Qiongqi be courting death by rushing forward rashly like this?
"Come back, come back to me quickly." Xia Youchen was stunned at first, then he also shouted in surprise.
Although he thought it was a great misfortune to have such a divine beast, after all, they had been together for so long and they had some feelings for each other. How could he just watch Xiao Qiongqi die?
The only thing that he couldn't understand was why this fake beast, which had always been afraid of death... oh no, it was a peace-loving beast that didn't fight, kill, or eat meat, suddenly went crazy.
Little Qiongqi was baring its fangs and claws, seeming to be oblivious to the shouts of Mu Hanyan and Xia Youchen.
Xia Youchen gritted his teeth, turned around and chased after him. Mu Hanyan had no choice but to let go of Yue Xiuming and run towards Xiao Qiongqi.
"Roar!" Xiao Qiongqi roared again.
A strange light burst out from its body, forming a series of mysterious runes and shadows, enveloping the two violent stone monsters. Obviously, this was the divine beast contract signed by Qiongqi and the violent stone monster clan.
However, enveloped by the rune light and shadow, the violent stone beast did not change at all. It continued to roar, and its eyes were still burning with blood-red fire. The contract with the divine beast that had been imprinted in its blood for generations was completely invalid.
It seems that Taowu's guess was correct. The spiritual imprints in the blood of these two violent stone beasts have indeed been erased, and even the contract with the divine beasts signed by their ancestors has become completely invalid.
The violent stone monster in front stretched out its front paw like a huge stone hammer and slapped Xiao Qiongqi.
Mu Hanyan's heart trembled slightly, as if she had already seen the miserable appearance of Xiao Qiongqi being beaten into a pulp.
Xia Youchen's eyes were bloodshot and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
At this moment, an unexpected scene appeared.
The violent stone monster slapped Xiao Qiongqi hard with its palm, but Xiao Qiongqi did not move at all. The earth-shattering giant palm of the sky spirit did not cause any damage to it.
Xia Youchen was stunned, Mu Hanyan was stunned, and even the furious stone monster was stunned.
Before it could figure out what was going on, Xiao Qiongqi suddenly jumped into the air and slapped the other party on the head.
The violent stone monster instinctively sensed the danger and immediately used its innate ability of stone formation. With a flash of green light, its thick armor turned into hard rock.
Little Qiongqi seemed not to see it at all and continued to slap with his little hands.
There was a slight "click" sound, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the stone-carved animal head.
Xiao Qiongqi swung his arm and slapped out again.
With a dull "bang", the thick, petrified armor on the forehead of the violent stone monster was shattered by Xiao Qiongqi's palm, and a column of blood spurted out like a fountain.
"Ah..." The violent stone monster let out a shrill scream, and its two huge palms smashed towards Xiao Qiongqi almost madly.
However, the giant palm of the sky that could split stones and break rocks still had no effect on little Qiongqi. Instead, every time Qiongqi's seemingly tiny fist landed on its head, there would be a slight "click" sound and a burst of blood would appear.
Mu Hanyan was stunned. No one knew better than her how powerful the attack and defense of the violent stone monster were. Even with her current combat power, which was comparable to that of an eighth-level swordsman, she could not break the powerful defense of the violent stone monster that had been cast with the petrification spell, nor could she resist its innate divine power.
Who would have thought that in front of Xiao Qiongqi, even the violent stone monster in its petrified state would be useless in its defense. That terrifying power had no effect on Xiao Qiongqi, and it could completely ignore the violent stone monster's attack and defense.
This must be the innate ability of the Qiongqi Divine Beast. Even though the spiritual imprint in the blood of the Violent Stone Demon Beast has been erased, the chasm between the Divine Beast and other exotic beasts is still insurmountable, even if the Violent Stone Demon Beast is already a top-level existence among exotic beasts.
Of course, Mu Hanyan could also think that the Qiongqi beast's innate ability to ignore attacks and defenses was not effective for all beasts, otherwise it would not be one of the four ferocious beasts, but a super beast that could compete with Aolai.
But no matter what, as long as it can restrain the violent stone monster in front of it, Mu Hanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the violent stone monster with blood gushing from its head and could only passively take the beating.
"Ouch..." Finally, the bullied and violent stone monster could no longer bear the pain, let out a miserable cry, turned around and took big strides to flee into the distance.
The other violent stone monster had been frightened and didn't dare to attack at all. Only then did it wake up as if from a dream and also fled.
"It turns out that these two guys are not so vindictive. After all, they are just picking on the weak." Mu Hanyan thought to herself with self-mockery as she watched the quickly disappearing figure of the violent stone monster.
