C17 Meeting a Girl

When Duanmu Kuang opened his eyes, it was already midnight. In the blue sky above the sea of trees, the stars were shining brightly. The crescent moon was also shining with a faint light, leaving a faint silver veil on the ground.

In the dark sea of trees, it was dark. Only a few spots of mottled starlight were pointing at the ground through the gaps between the leaves.

"It's already so late. Time passes really quickly for cultivation." Duanmu Kuang looked around habitually and sighed. It was said that martial artists had no time to cultivate. This was true. He had just been lucky enough to walk a few days, and it had already been from afternoon to midnight.

Rubbing his rumbling stomach, Duanmu Kuang felt helpless. Other than eating a few wild mountain mushrooms this morning... He had not eaten anything for the entire day. A martial artist's appetite was always greater than an ordinary person's. At this moment, he was so hungry that his chest was almost touching his back.

It was only in the middle of the night that he was a little afraid of going to find food. In the end, hunger overcame fear. Duanmu Kuang braced himself and climbed down the tree, carefully searching the forest.

After a while, Duanmu Kuang picked up a few wild mountain mushrooms, climbed back to the tree, and wolfed them down again. After burping, Duanmu Kuang closed his eyes to rest, and did not speak for the entire night.

The next morning, Duanmu Kuang woke up early. After doing some work, he picked up a large pile of wild mountain mushrooms and ate a full meal. After that, he stuffed the rest into his arms and continued on his way.

A few hours later, Duanmu Kuang was rushing about in the forest. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. "Eh? Someone is shouting!" Duanmu Kuang was stunned. He had just heard a weak sound of fighting. That sound seemed to be blown away by the wind. When it reached his ears, it broke off in a row.

"Strange. Why is there someone in this desolate mountain and forest?" Duanmu Kuang was puzzled. He listened carefully again. This time, he heard it clearly. The voice came from his left. It should be some distance away from him, and it sounded like the voice of a woman.

"Let's go and take a look." Under the urging of curiosity, Duanmu Kuang followed the source of the voice. After walking for about a few hundred meters, in a spacious and short forest, there was a woman confronting a Profound Beast.

Duanmu Kuang carefully moved closer and hid behind a large tree trunk. Only then did he secretly stretch his head out to take a look.

The man and beast on the field were staring intently at each other. They did not notice that there was an additional observer not far away from them.

Duanmu Kuang looked closely and found that the girl was actually a young girl. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. On her oval face, there was a pair of bright and moving eyes. She had a tall figure, a slim waist, and fair skin. Her full chest and round butt were wrapped in a light blue tight suit, making her entire body look even more graceful.

However, the girl's face was slightly pale at this moment. Her long black hair that was like paint was messily draped behind her shoulders. She appeared to be in a somewhat sorry state. Her brows were tightly knitted, and her eyes were tightly staring forward. Her right hand, which was holding the sword, trembled slightly due to her nervousness.

In front of the young girl, a rhinoceros with a horn on its head was staring at the young girl like a tiger eyeing its prey, letting out low growls.

"Single-horned rhinoceros!" After seeing the Profound Beast's appearance clearly, Duanmu Kuang almost cried out in alarm. It had an unusually large body, and its short limbs were as thick as wooden piles. Its entire body was covered in a thick layer of armor, and there was a thick horn on its head.

Duanmu Kuang had heard of this single-horned rhinoceros before. It was equivalent to a human martial cultivator at Essence Opening Stage. Not only was it extremely strong, but its skin was also incomparably thick. Ordinary swords and sabers would not be able to harm it at all. It was extremely difficult to deal with. Looking at its huge and solid head, no one doubted that it could easily break through a pile of small hills.

The man and beast on the field should have just gone through some battle. Neither of them had gained any advantage, and they were glaring at each other. Suddenly, the single-horned rhinoceros let out a roar, lowered its head, and rammed towards the young girl. The young girl didn't panic in the face of danger. She gently leaped away, and swung her sword at the single-horned rhinoceros. The man and the beast quickly tangled together again.

Duanmu Kuang hid behind the tree trunk and watched with great interest. He secretly commented in his heart.

He used his divine sense to sense the origin energy fluctuations of the young girl. Duanmu Kuang speculated that she should also be a Xiantian realm martial artist. Her movement technique was light and nimble, like a dragon swimming back and forth in the collision of single-horned rhinoceros. Sometimes she dodged, and sometimes she struck out with her sword, leaving shallow scars on the thick skin of the single-horned rhinoceros.

Although the destructive power of the single-horned rhinoceros was shocking, it had short legs and a large body. Compared to the girl's lithe figure, it seemed a little slow. It charged forward until it was panting heavily. It knocked down rows of large trees, but it could not even touch a corner of the girl's clothes.

The single-horned rhinoceros had a violent temper to begin with, and being unable to attack for a long time made it fly into a rage. It roared angrily and stopped attacking. Its small eyes on both sides of its head were red as it stared at the young girl in front of it, as if it was brewing something.

"Be careful!" Duanmu Kuang couldn't help but rush out and shout loudly. According to what he had heard, the single-horned rhinoceros was going to use its innate skill.

Everyone knew that the structure of the Profound Beast was different from that of a human's body. There was no way for them to cultivate like a human martial artist. But an Artisan was fair. Although the Profound Beast could not use martial skills like a human martial artist, it was still fair. This was an innate ability. The might of the martial skills was not to be underestimated.

Every Profound Beast had its own unique innate skill. According to Duanmu Kuang's knowledge, the single-horned rhinoceros's innate ability was similar to a sound wave attack. It was similar to the sound wave skill in the battle technique. The attack range of this skill was very wide, and if the girl wasn't prepared for it... Must have been seriously injured by this skill.

The kind-hearted Duanmu Kuang naturally couldn't watch this scene unfold. He jumped out and shouted loudly, welcoming the single-horned rhinoceros.

However, the young girl was clearly more experienced and knowledgeable than he had imagined. She had long mobilized her Yuan Qi. As they waited in formation, the sudden warning that came out of his mouth only made the young girl look in his direction. Then, she turned her head and stared at the single-horned rhinoceros in front of her. The young girl's expression was indifferent. There was not a single fluctuation in her expression.

At this moment, waves of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy surged and gathered towards the single-horned rhinoceros's mouth, forming a vortex that looked like a cotton ball in the single-horned rhinoceros's mouth.

"With a roar, the single-horned rhinoceros opened its mouth and the cotton ball like whirlpool spread out from its mouth. It turned into visible sound waves that covered the sky and covered the earth as it rushed towards the young girl. Everywhere it passed, broken branches and fallen leaves fell to the ground.

Facing the sound waves that surged from all directions, the young girl did not panic. The Yuan Qi in her body fluctuated, and only when the sound waves were about to reach her did she use a martial technique.

"Welcoming the Wave Breaks the Wave!" The young girl shouted. The sword in her right hand emitted a faint Yuan Qi fluctuation. Her entire person was like an arrow that pierced through the sound wave and ruthlessly stabbed towards the single-horned rhinoceros.

"Chi! Peng!" Two sounds rang out at the same time. When the young girl's sword had just stabbed into the single-horned rhinoceros's eye, Duanmu Kuang's palm carried a blood red color. The Azure Dragon Palm, which was formed from Yuan Qi, surged and fluctuated. It also ruthlessly smashed into the single-horned rhinoceros's back.

Even a single-horned rhinoceros as strong as the single-horned rhinoceros could not withstand such a heavy blow. Its massive body was blasted by this violent palm force until it tilted to the right, nearly collapsing to the ground. The girl's sword even pierced its head from its eyes, and as the sword was pulled out, the blood on the wound gushed out like a fountain.

"The single-horned rhinoceros let out a miserable cry. The young girl's sword had pierced into its head. This was a fatal wound.

It staggered and stumbled towards the two men. Duanmu Kuang and the girl easily dodged it. The two of them retreated far away from the single-horned rhinoceros, allowing it to struggle on the verge of death.
