Chapter 1363 — Underestimating Strength
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Roar!" The deeper Wei Zhao went, the more furious the monster became, as though Wei Zhao had robbed it of something, and it gave chase.
The monster left its back to Elder Yu, as though utterly unguarded against him, which delighted Elder Yu. Wahaha — a monster is a monster after all; its intelligence was truly pitifully low. Turning your back on an enemy, wasn't that courting death?
So Elder Yu at once circulated his true qi, clenched both fists, and, aiming at the monster's back — at its very heart — smashed down, meaning to kill it in a single blow.
Elder Yu had no intention of tangling with a monster like this, so from the very first he unleashed ten-tenths of his power, fearing that one strike might not kill it and a second sneak attack would be troublesome.
"Bang!"
With a great crash, both of Elder Yu's fists landed square on the monster's back, at its heart. The full strength of an early Earth Rank expert had been poured into that ferocious blow. In his view, the monster was surely dead this time: a peak late Yellow Rank creature taking a strike from an early Earth Rank expert — how could it possibly live?
Never mind peak late Yellow Rank; even a peak late Mystic Rank expert would die for certain under such a punch, let alone a blow delivered by two fists at full strength.
But before Elder Yu could gloat, the monster whirled around and swung a paw at him. Elder Yu, caught unawares, was struck square in the chest and sent flying.
"Roar!" The monster seemed never to have expected that anyone would dare sneak-attack it. It flew into a fury, its eyes turning blood red, and, paying Wei Zhao no further mind, it strode off in the direction Elder Yu had flown.
"Pff—" The monster's paw knocked a mouthful of blood from Elder Yu's lips. Every bone in his body ached as though it had come apart, and terror seized him all at once: why wasn't the monster dead? And how could it possess such strength?
But he had no time to think further, for the monster was charging at him again. Elder Yu scrambled to his feet and ran, terrified the creature would catch him.
Wei Zhao frowned. Sure enough, the sense of danger the monster gave him had not been wrong. It was no ordinary peak late Yellow Rank; the rank of such a spirit beast could not be measured by the standards of ordinary humans.
Though Elder Yu had failed to kill the monster, the full-force blow of an early Earth Rank expert was no joke; it must have dealt the creature some injury — otherwise it could never have flown into such a rage.
"Roar!" The monster swung another paw at the spot where Elder Yu had fallen, but Elder Yu had escaped death by a hair, slipping away a step ahead of it. The monster could not pull back in time, and its paw struck the stone wall of the tomb, leaving a huge palm print in the thick stone.
