All Things Are Contracts

Zhanyue, holding the Heaven Punishing Demon Sword, his figure like a soaring dragon, once again faced this ancient giant beast head-on. Without any divine artifacts on him, he was still under the influence of this demon beast. In his mind, he only thought about defeating this monster from the front. It had to be said, the power of laws on this demon beast was incredibly strong. Even after experiencing the previous battles, Zhanyue already knew his own problems, but after getting close to it, he would still be influenced. No matter what he thought before, at this moment, he only wanted to break the giant beast’s horn with the sword in his hand.

At the same time, Yunyao silently circled to the back of the rhinoceros beetle. She gripped her sharp sword tightly, her eyes revealing a sharp light. She adjusted her angle, took a deep breath, and waited for the best timing.

The strength of the rhinoceros beetle was astonishing. Each swing of its horn carried the power to split mountains and crack rocks. Just the gust of wind made the surrounding sand and stones fly away. But Zhanyue, now wearing the Silver Moon Armor, naturally had the power to entangle with it. He couldn’t take down the rhinoceros beetle, and the rhinoceros beetle couldn’t do anything to Zhanyue for the time being either.

Behind the rhinoceros beetle, Yunyao’s mind was unaffected by the influence of “stubbornness” with the protection of the divine artifact. She could freely plan tactics.

A divine statue faintly appeared behind her, but it wasn’t the Bird Clan’s Winged God Statue. It was the Emperor’s Dharma Image that Yunyao had comprehended from the Feathered Emperor’s inheritance, completely different from the technique of the Bird Clan’s young master Tianxian.

“Emperor’s Dharma Image – Sword Energy Corridor!” The ultimate sword technique that had opened a path for Zhanyue before appeared in the world again. Huge sword energy surged forward from her body, the terrifying power directly tearing this desert into two halves. Sword energy crisscrossed, leaving a permanent gorge in this place. The front of the rhinoceros beetle was invincible, but its back was far from being as hard as its horn.

The sword energy directly tore its body into two halves without any obstruction.

The body of the rhinoceros beetle slowly disappeared, leaving only a pair of eyes in place. This formidable and invincible demon beast was “easily” slain by Yunyao in such a manner.

Looking at the chasm-like ditch behind the giant beast, Zhanyue swallowed. Before, on the ocean, Yunyao had used this move to open up a path for him on the sea. At that time, his feeling wasn’t as deep. Now, without the cover of seawater, this naked earth was left with irreparable scars.

“This woman… is still so strong. Even though I’ve mastered so many new techniques and abilities, I’m probably no match for her.” After assessing the battlefield, Zhanyue had a bottom line in his heart. Before, using the Wings that Cover the Sky to destroy the canyon was already an incredible feat, but Yunyao’s ability to open up an abyss with one sword still made his heart tremble.

“This demon beast isn’t much.” Yunyao returned to Zhanyue’s side, her face looking a bit haggard. Unleashing this ultimate move was also an extremely heavy burden for her, but there was still a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she was asking for credit.

“Is she smiling?” For a moment, Zhanyue was actually a bit dazed looking at her.

Yunyao’s eyes froze, and then she returned to her usual icy expression. She didn’t know why she was like that before, actually wanting to get Zhanyue’s affirmation. She hurriedly threw these thoughts out of her mind.

“It seems that with the divine artifacts in hand, these demon beasts are indeed no match for us. Five of the seven demon beasts have been slain, and we still have another divine artifact in our hands. Let’s go to the sealing place of another demon beast earlier,” Yunyao said.

Zhanyue naturally nodded in agreement. The mission of the seven demon beasts was already more than half completed, and it was very smooth. As for the sixth demon beast, they still had another divine artifact in their hands – the Profound Bow, a wooden bow that didn’t look particularly special.

Going straight all the way, the location marked by the Fairy Spirit Clan for the two of them was very accurate. It had to be said, thanks to the help of the Fairy Spirit Clan’s prophet, the difficulty of their mission had dropped a lot. They didn’t need to search everywhere for divine artifacts and demon beasts.

Their next destination was a deep and mysterious valley. Hidden within the valley was a vast and breathtaking plain. This plain seemed to be a masterpiece of nature, wide and flat, as if it had been specially prepared for these two travelers as a place of tranquility.

When the two stepped onto this plain, what appeared before their eyes was a splendid and colorful painting. On the plain, countless white flowers were in bloom, like stars in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching. These flowers were densely clustered together, forming a boundless sea of flowers, making people feel as if they were in a dreamlike world.

The color of these white flowers was pure and soft, exuding a faint fragrance. Under the illumination of the sun, the dewdrops on the petals shimmered, like gems inlaid on the flowers. And in this ocean of white flowers, there were also some purple and red colors interspersed, which were other flowers blooming in competition, adding more vitality and vigor to this plain.

The flowers on this plain seemed to be telling a beautiful story. They used their colors and fragrances to give soul to this land. The two travelers were deeply attracted by this beautiful sight. They stopped in their tracks and quietly admired this sea of flowers, feeling the wonder and beauty of nature.

This valley, this plain, and these blooming flowers were all precious treasures of the human world. How could this place be like a demon beast’s sealing ground? It was more like a fairyland.

“We didn’t find the wrong place, right? How about we go back first? And ask the prophet senior again?” Zhanyue looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and exclaimed in admiration.

Yunyao thought for a moment and actually agreed. “Indeed, there’s a problem. The map seems to be marked wrong. Let’s go back first.”

After careful consideration, the two decided to temporarily leave this valley to seek more clues. They took off and flew towards the distance. However, when they flew out ten miles, Yunyao suddenly seemed to be startled awake, and a look of confusion and shock appeared on her face.

“What’s going on? Why did we just leave directly? The demon beast might not not be there. We should at least investigate clearly before leaving.” Yunyao complained, her tone revealing regret and unwillingness at the possibility of missing an opportunity.

Zhanyue was also a bit speechless. He frowned slightly, looked at Yunyao, and responded, “I also asked for your opinion, and didn’t you agree?” His tone carried a hint of helplessness and confusion.

Hearing this, Yunyao fell into a brief silence. She scratched her head, as if trying hard to recall their previous conversation. Then, she suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had thought of something important, and said to Zhanyue, “No, no, could it be that we were influenced again?”

Hearing this, Zhanyue’s heart stirred. He also began to recall his previous experience, trying to find any possible abnormalities. Then, his eyes also lit up. He looked at Yunyao, his eyes filled with shock.

“Let’s go back. There’s definitely a problem there. The demon beast must be hiding there!” The two said in unison, their eyes flashing with a determined light.

This time, the demon beast they needed to face was called – the Beast of Suspicion.
