Chapter 520 Is the Monster Beast Your Relative?

    

""Why do I have to tell you" Zhao Yanzǐ turned around and glanced at郝仁.郝仁 was instantly speechless. "This outfit goes perfectly with this dress," the waiter led Zhao Yanzǐ in front of a very elegant e...Chapter 520: The Monster Beast Is Your Relative

Bam!

A dull sound of combat echoed.

A white figure, like a kite whose string has broken, flew out from the deep sea.

Hao Ren stood on an air sword and rushed over to catch Su Han.

"Go!" Su Han turned around and grabbed Hao Ren's arm, pulling him up into high-speed flight.

Her face was pale, one hand clutching her belly; it was clear she had sustained severe injuries.

In general, at the edge of this Demon Sea, there wouldn't be any ten-stage monster beasts. If encountering eight or nine-stage monster beasts, with Su Han's killing moves and absolute strength, there would still be a chance to fight back.

But a ten-stage monster beast had already reached the preparatory stage for transformation; its power, even if it didn't match that of a transformed cultivator at the realm of freedom from heaven, was still superior to a Venerable Fetus in Its Prime.

With Su Han's Dry Heaven Upper Grade cultivation level, which equated to late-stage Venerable Fetus, she simply wasn’t the opponent for a ten-stage monster beast.

This was because Su Han’s luck was too poor; the ten-stage monster beast happened to be in meditation, and Su Han just so happened to pass by its "vegetable garden."

Originally, this ten-stage monster beast wouldn’t have bothered with Su Han; such a beast would be even more obsessed with cultivation than she was. It would seize every second to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and strive for breakthrough in the transformation stage. Therefore, it had no interest in pointless struggles.

But when Su Han passed by its "vegetable garden," she casually plucked three "Black Dragon Bones." This enraged the monster beast.

Su Han’s stealth technique was completely ineffective against it; furthermore, as it hid beneath the sea, it resembled a natural black reef and didn't emit any aura whatsoever. Su Han hadn’t even noticed its presence at all.

When she started searching for Snow Crystal Corals around it, it suddenly struck out with one claw.

No matter how quick Su Han’s reflexes were, she was still hit by the blow that knocked her White Jade Sword from her hand and sent her flying away.

Ah!

The ten-stage monster beast let out a defiant roar but didn’t chase after them. The entire sea area began to churn like boiling water.

Hao Ren quickly took out a Qi Replenishment Pill and fed it into Su Han’s mouth.

Su Han had been focusing solely on cultivation, lacking practical combat experience compared to Zhao Kuo. Her first adventure diving into the Demon Sea was met with a severe setback.

Her face was pale and her body weak; if not for Hao Ren supporting her, she would have nearly lost all mobility.

The Fourth Grade Qi Replenishment Pill slid down to her lips through Hao Ren's fingertips. She finally regained some breath. If it weren't for her Dry Heaven Upper Grade cultivation level, she would have died right there in the Demon Sea due to that blow.

"Hey, are you okay" Using his arms to support her back and waist, Hao Ren asked anxiously.

Su Han turned to look at Hao Ren; suddenly, a sense of emotion welled up inside her. She had originally brought Hao Ren over merely as backup during the battle against monster beasts, but she hadn't expected that he would actually save her once again.

"I'm fine." Su Han’s expression instantly returned to calmness. Her fingers lightly tapped on Hao Ren's hand back, causing him a sudden sharp pain and making him quickly withdraw his arm supporting her waist.

She checked her belongings and found that the three "Black Dragon Bones" she had been holding in her hand were missing, as was her white jade sword.

As long as a soul-bound treasure is not broken, it won't affect one's body. However, dropping it into the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons can be quite troublesome.

"Where's your sword" Instead of worrying about the spirit herbs, Hao Ren was concerned about Su Han’s soul-bound treasure.

Su Han had just faced a tenth-level monster beast. In this area of the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, she wouldn’t have simply stored her soul-bound treasure in her body for no reason. Therefore, it must have been lost during the struggle.

A soul-bound treasure is connected to a cultivator's mind and spirit. Losing one isn't something to be taken lightly; when Zeng Yitao’s coiling dragon golden spear was taken by Hao Ren, Zeng Yitao had been extremely anxious about it.

For someone like Su Han, who was a Heaven Rank expert, her soul-bound treasure and mind were completely integrated. If the white jade long sword dropped into the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons was bitten in two by some monster beast, Su Han's life would be at risk as well.

Su Han circulated her spirit energy to sense her white jade long sword, intending to control it and have it fly back. Unfortunately, with her meridians in disarray, the sword merely moved slightly underwater but couldn't be called back.

She frowned worriedly, a look that made Hao Ren feel "pitiful," though he knew such a description didn’t suit Su Han at all.

"I'll go find it for you." Supporting Su Han to stand on the seabed, Hao Ren said.

"No! Wait!" Su Han hurriedly reached out to grab Hao Ren's arm.

“It’s alright.” With a smile, Hao Ren felt an overwhelming surge of courage and decided to take a risk. Back when he was on Purple Bamboo Island, the eighth- and ninth-level monster beasts that had charged at him clearly showed fear in their eyes and turned back as if they were facing a bane.

When resisting the beast swarm from the Western Sea Dragon Palace, even the giant spider’s eighth-level monster beast seemed to have some fear toward him; it did not counterattack when his sword light was extracted from its body.

Eighth- and ninth-level monster beasts had already awakened their spiritual awareness. Feeling afraid must have deeper reasons behind it. Although Hao Ren hadn’t seen a tenth-level monster beast, he could take the risk.

Should things really go south, there was still the River and Mountain Map; with full effort, he would have a chance to escape.

"Come back… " Seeing that Hao Ren had truly entered deep into the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, Su Han hurriedly called out. However, her injuries made it impossible for her to stand up, so she could only watch as Hao Ren’s figure disappeared into the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons' black fog.

"Don’t be reckless." As Hao Ren entered the inner part of the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, Su Han's voice advised through the Examiner’s token.

While she was worried about her soul-bound treasure, Su Han was even more concerned for Hao Ren.

"Where is it" Hao Ren asked calmly through the Examiner’s token.

"Come back. My sword isn’t a big deal; once I recover in a while, I’ll come get it," said Su Han.

“You’re being so chatty,” Hao Ren replied, “Where is it”

Su Han gritted her teeth and sensed the location of her sword as well as Hao Ren’s position. "It's about two kilometers in front of you to your left. There are tenth-level monster beasts nearby; don’t go there."

"I won’t provoke it. I’ll just take the sword and come back," Hao Ren said, kicking his legs and smoothly swimming towards the location Su Han mentioned.

Before a tenth-level monster beast, it was best not to attempt flying with a sword. Of course, two Chaos Divine Thunderbolts were still clenched in Hao Ren’s palm, while the River and Mountain Map was hidden in his sleeve, ready for an escape at any moment.

The distance gradually closed as Hao Ren didn't dare release his divine sense but only sent out over ten very weak sword lights to find Su Han's white jade longsword.

Ugh...

The body of the tenth-stage demonic beast moved.

Like a giant reef rock covering the sea floor, it suddenly shifted by two meters. All seaweed and sediment rolled around.

"I'll take back my magical treasure and leave," Hao Ren said.

A tenth-stage demonic beast would have developed intelligence, but Hao Ren wasn’t sure if it could understand him. Nevertheless, the tenth-stage demonic beast had definitely locked onto his presence.

Ugh...

The demonic beast let out another low growl.

Hao Ren had raised Xiao Bai for quite some time and recognized that the growl didn’t convey extreme anger. He cautiously crawled along the sea floor, slowly searching for Su Han’s jade sword.

Clang...

His hand touched a hard object.

Hastily picking it up to inspect, he found that what he had wasn’t Su Han’s jade sword but rather an extremely ancient-looking longbow.

The material was similar to bronze, feeling cold and unyielding with no signs of rust. It exuded the aura of a bygone era.

Hao Ren wasn’t someone who played with bows and arrows, yet he found this longbow incredibly appealing when he held it in his hand.

Wonder if some unfortunate predecessor perished here, leaving behind this magical treasure Hao Ren thought to himself.

Sensing the tenth-stage demonic beast’s consciousness locked onto him, Hao Ren gently let go of the bow and continued searching for Su Han’s jade sword.

The treasures might be great, but they can’t be taken. He had come solely to retrieve Su Han’s jade sword, a promise he needed to keep. Otherwise, such an intelligent demonic beast wouldn’t hesitate to unleash its fury once enraged.

Tink...

His fingers touched another cold and hard weapon.

Picking it up for inspection, it was indeed Su Han’s jade sword.

"This one," Su Han's voice sounded in Hao Ren's mind. "Let's go back."

Holding the jade sword, Hao Ren quietly retreated.

The demonic beast's consciousness continued to lock onto him.

Bang...

The tenth-stage demonic beast suddenly moved again.

As if following its movement, the entire sea floor seemed to shift. The scale of this tenth-stage demonic beast was unimaginably vast—even Hao Ren couldn’t fathom its size!

Hao Ren was about to throw out the River and Mountain Chart to quickly escape, but the monster's claws were heading straight for Hao Ren's chest.

Crap! Cheating!

Hao Ren suddenly threw out the two prepared Chaos Thunder he had prepared in advance.

The Chaos Thunder hit the monster’s claws and sizzled with a burning sound.

At this moment, Hao Ren's River and Mountain Chart abruptly activated, flying towards the sea surface at full speed.

A speed comparable to that of a Transcendence Realm cultivator!

"Hurry back!" Su Han’s voice in Hao Ren’s mind was filled with worry and tension.

Boom...

Hao Ren didn't even know whether the Tenth-Rank monster had followed him or not. He fully activated the River and Mountain Chart, flying out of the sea.

Bang...

Like a whale jumping out of the water, Hao Ren landed in the sea again to get back to Su Han’s side, dragging her away as he ran.

Although Su Han's position was beyond the Edge of the Sea of Demonic Beasts and within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Dragon Palace, who could guarantee that a furious Tenth-Rank monster wouldn't chase out from the Sea of Demonic Beasts

This kind of boundary had no effect on such monstrous beasts!

Hao Ren fled frantically across the sea until his Chaos Spiritual Energy was completely exhausted. He then found that the River and Mountain Chart had already flown hundreds of kilometers, with land ahead.

He looked down at Su Han and saw that he was tightly hugging her, holding her in his arms.

Su Han, wearing a wet black silk robe, exuded an alluring scent. Hao Ren hurriedly... moved his hand away from Su Han's waist.

"Here… Your sword." Hao Ren placed the Jade Sword in front of Su Han and nervously changed the subject.

Su Han, completely drenched, checked the Jade Sword and found that it was undamaged. She immediately retracted it into her body.

She then turned to look at Hao Ren and noticed something behind him...

A dark green water plant was entangled around Hao Ren’s back, while on the plant were three "Black Dragon Bones," a "Sky-Shattering Bow," and a small piece of "Jade Water Pearl."

The Sky-Shattering Bow wasn’t named by Su Han. The ancient characters inscribed on this archaic longbow.

Seeing these things, Su Han was stunned, her beautiful moist eyes widening in shock.

Hao Ren saw Su Han looking at him with a strange gaze and felt uneasy, moving his body to keep some distance from her.

The entire time he had been fleeing, he had tightly held Su Han. With the danger now over, who knew what this woman might do...

"Was that monster your relative" Su Han finally spoke up.n five things at once!Those Foundation Establishment and Core Formation-stage cultivators were all dumbfounded.If a Nascent Soul-stage cultivator faced an encirclement by Core Formation-stage cultivat...
