Yun Xiaoxi smiled lightly and said, "Because a more powerful being resides deep within the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, a king-like existence. That is why the magical beasts respond to the summons and gather here. This powerful being is hidden in the depths of the core of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, which has long been said to be a 'king,' an Ancient Divine Dragon. Therefore, the core abyss of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range is also known as the Dragon Abyss!"
As she spoke, Yun Xiaoxi pointed to the valley in front of them and smiled, "This path leads directly to the Dragon Abyss and is called Reincarnation Valley. Now you understand, right?"
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile, "Miss Xiaoxi has been to the Dragon Abyss before?"
Yun Xiaoxi was taken aback, lightly biting her red lips, and said, "No!"
"Why not?"
"Hmph, I don't know!"
Ye Yang couldn't help but tease, "Is it because you weren't skilled enough back then, so you didn't dare enter the Dragon Abyss?"
Immediately, a blush rose on Yun Xiaoxi's cheeks, as if he had hit the nail on the head. She drew her Sharp Sword with a clang and said angrily, "Do you want to die?"
Ye Yang was shocked: "Miss Xiaoxi is renowned throughout history and will be remembered for generations!"
Yun Xiaoxi: "..."
Zhang Tianhe: "..."
...
Continuing forward, Yun Xiaoxi said, "Reincarnation Valley is named so mainly because this long passageway of several dozen miles is filled with various High-Level Beasts. Ninth-Grade Beasts are everywhere. Almost no one who enters Reincarnation Valley can return alive; that is why it is called Reincarnation Valley."
Ye Yang nodded: "Do you think Tianhe and I are easily frightened?"
"Hmph, do as you please."
Yun Xiaoxi, holding the Sharp Sword, glanced at Ye Yang and said, "When you get eaten by the magical beasts, I'll kill them and dig you out to bury you properly!"
Ye Yang snorted, "It seems you truly are unmatched in righteousness!"
Yun Xiaoxi smiled and said nothing more.
...
Not far ahead, a strong smell of blood suddenly wafted through the air.
"Something's wrong!"
Ye Yang abruptly stopped, pointing at the dim thicket ahead. "There's something over there! But it's too dark to see!"
Zhang Tianhe, holding the Heavy Hammer, said, "Let me handle it; I'll smash it open!"
"Don't waste True Qi!"
Ye Yang stopped Zhang Tianhe and stepped forward himself. He opened one hand, lightly shouted, and a fireball formed in his palm. He threw it forward; the fireball flew out like a lantern, hovering in mid-air and burning fiercely, illuminating the surroundings. Zhang Tianhe was slightly astonished; Ye Yang's understanding of Fire Element was evident!
Under the light of the flames, the scene ahead shocked Ye Yang, Yun Xiaoxi, and Zhang Tianhe—
In the thicket lay a massive beast, stretching about five meters long, resembling a giant crocodile. However, it was not a crocodile but a gigantic Lizard. The Lizard was covered in shimmering Scale Armor, each piece adorned with barbs and radiating a glow of power. The head of the Giant Lizard faced the three of them, its brown eyes filled with ruthless cruelty as it flicked its long tongue.
"Wow, what is this thing?!" Zhang Tianhe clenched his iron fist and said, "Such powerful energy! I can feel it; this thing must be incredibly strong!"
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! The Beast Compendium doesn't have any records about this thing. Could it be that there are local specialties in the Reincarnation Valley?"
Yun Xiaoxi glanced at him and said, "Beast Compendium? Are you looking at the ancient Oracle Bone Script? It doesn't even mention such a famous magical beast..."
Ye Yang asked, "What is it?"
Yun Xiaoxi smiled lightly and replied, "Spiked Armored Lizard, Ninth-Grade Beast. It prefers dark and humid environments. This is a descendant of the Earth Dragon and Sand Crocodile, possessing half of the dragon's Bloodline, which gives it an incredibly strong vitality. Moreover, the Spiked Armored Lizard has a unique advantage: it is born with hard Scale Armor that blades cannot penetrate. Its movement speed is very slow; it hardly moves except to eat."
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and said, "So it's that powerful? It seems we won't be able to get past this Spiked Armored Lizard unless we take it down?"
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled lightly, "I can fly over; you two will have to go on foot..."
"…"
The Starry Sky Expert has the ability to fly, a capability that Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe find hard to match. Yun Xiaoxi clearly enjoys teasing them; she is always willing to do anything that provokes them.
Holding the Breaking Flame Sword tightly, Ye Yang said, "Tianhe, another Ninth-Grade Beast. Let's be careful this time and aim for a single strike to defeat it!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Tianhe nodded and said, "In a moment, I'll use Pangu's Earth Splitter to directly attack the Spiked Armored Lizard's head. I'll try to use energy to shake and break its outer defense layer. Then, Zi Yu, you can use Wilderness Thunder to directly strike at the damaged spot on the Spiked Armored Lizard. This way, we can shatter its head in one blow!"
Ye Yang had already begun to gather Fire God Fragment True Qi, with golden runes swirling around his arm. He had entered the first realm of Fire God Transformation; against a Ninth-Grade Beast, he had to transform; otherwise, it would be impossible to break through its defenses!
"Alright, here we go!"
Zhang Tianhe filled with True Qi, suddenly leaped high into the air. Ling Kong hurled the Heavy Hammer downwards, flying like lightning, carrying the force of thunder as it descended towards the Lizard's forehead!
"Boom!"
Energy fragments surged, True Qi collided and spread, causing the entire valley to tremble slightly.
Ye Yang had already vanished from his original position, appearing the next moment above and slightly to the side of the Giant Lizard's head. The Breaking Flame Sword buzzed ominously, purple lightning crackled along the Blade, and small lightning orbs exploded in succession, making it clear to anyone that this strike contained immense power!
"Clang!"
The Sharp Sword struck directly on top of the Giant Lizard's head but produced a shocking sound as if Goldstone was resonating. It couldn't penetrate at all; the shell on the Spiked Armored Lizard's head was as tough as rock, and the Breaking Flame Sword was instantly deflected!
Immediately after, a shadow flew in. Ye Yang's heart sank; he knew something was terribly wrong!
"Bang!"
That was the Spiked Armored Lizard's tail, which struck hard against Ye Yang's chest. The force scattered his Qi, leaving a clear blood mark on his chest. He flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily against the stone wall!
A complete defeat, an absolute disaster!
...
"Zi Yu!"
Zhang Tianhe hurriedly flew over and found Ye Yang struggling up from the bushes, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet maintaining a calm expression as he looked at the distant Spiked Armored Lizard. He said coldly, "It's too tough. The internal power of this magical beast is incredibly strong, and its shell is too hard. With our current cultivation level, it will be difficult to penetrate its armor!"
Zhang Tianhe was astonished. "Then... what should we do? Should we return to Liang City?"
"No need!" Ye Yang shook his head and smiled slightly. "Let's rest here. After I heal, we will fight the Spiked Armored Lizard again tomorrow!"
Encouraged, Zhang Tianhe clenched his fists tightly. "Alright! I'll go out and find an Azure Wind Antelope for dinner!"
Ye Yang smiled happily. "Thank you for your efforts!"
Yun Xiaoxi continued to lean against the stone wall with her sword in her arms, watching the two struggle against the Ninth-Grade Beast with a smile, showing no intention of helping.
In fact, as long as Yun Xiaoxi was willing, a single strike infused with Starlight Power could easily slice the Spiked Armored Lizard in half. However, she was unwilling because she found it amusing to watch the two novices being tormented by the magical beast, repeatedly fighting and failing. This scene was rare and interesting; she didn't want to ruin such a delightful moment.
