Chapter 763: Chapter 708: Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros

Jiang Yuebai led the way, rushing towards the vicinity of the Floating Island Group, where a fierce battle was raging, sweeping through with residual force, silver lightning as thick as a man’s arm danced wildly like a swarm of snakes, constantly striking everything around the floating islands.

Before approaching, arcs of electricity burst from the Protective Gang Qi on everyone’s bodies, crackling loudly, forcing them to retreat repeatedly, showing that the power of thunder and lightning around the whole floating island had become extremely intense.

As everyone prepared to use their Magic Treasures and Spells for defense, Jiang Yuebai stepped forward and said, "Save your strength."

After speaking, Jiang Yuebai raised her hand and launched the Primordial Magnetic Ruler, a semi-black and semi-white iron ruler spinning in the air and splitting into two, transforming into one black and one white fish, diving into the thick black clouds.

Suddenly, the clouds dispersed, and the emitted lightning altered its direction, landing on the two fish.

The two fish propelled the black clouds to spin over everyone’s heads, forming an invisible magnetic field that encompassed everyone, causing all thunder and lightning to change direction once close, absorbed by the two fish.

Everyone’s eyes lit up slightly, and Shen Huaxi inquired about the range the Primordial Magnetic Ruler could protect before conveying arrangements to everyone, prompting them to disperse and delve into various parts of the floating islands.

Jiang Yuebai split a Divine Thought to focus on controlling the Primordial Magnetic Ruler, and together with Ge Yuchan, charged towards the direction of the battle sounds.

Ge Yuchan, donned in black leather armor, slim sleeves and legs tightly bound, hair braid high and taut, remained as clean and sharp as ever, her gaze as piercing as a hawk’s.

That year in the Earth Spiritual Realm, a fortuitous encounter of nine deaths and one life allowed Ge Yuchan to distance herself from her peers, rapidly advancing to Late-Stage Golden Core, resulting in her eyes mutating, able to easily discern flaws in an opponent’s body and techniques, rendering ordinary isolation Arrays ineffective before her.

Such ability allowed Ge Yuchan to strike with precision at an opponent’s vital point, executing a quick, accurate, and merciless kill.

The last time Jiang Yuebai and Ge Yuchan fought side by side was on the way to the Demon Clan that year, passing through Thunder Marsh, yet even after these years, the two remained unsophisticated, understanding each other’s intent with just a glance.

The terrain on the floating island resembled Thunder Marsh, filled with wastelands, black sand, and scattered rocks. As they approached, Jiang Yuebai took out the Divine Concealment Jade Talisman to vanish, and Ge Yuchan, practicing some unknown Cultivation Technique, turned her Spiritual Energy, vanishing before Jiang Yuebai’s eyes, even Divine Sense couldn’t capture her.

Jiang Yuebai ignored the vanished Ge Yuchan, seeing nothing before her eyes, but could hear the intense battle sounds, occasionally noticing ripples stirring in the air, indicating that Red Sun Sect’s cultivators had indeed begun arraying, fiercely battling the Thunder Beast within the Array.

Jiang Yuebai surveyed her surroundings, sensing through the Primordial Magnetic Ruler, discovering this indeed was an excellent location to array.

The central island boasted abundant Thunder Elemental Power, whereas the surrounding seven or eight small floating islands, albeit impacted by the central island’s thunder, could perfectly gather the Five Elements Attribute under the Thunder Elemental Power.

This meant, arrays for both attack and defense could be arrayed here.

Shen Huaxi assigned them the task of exploring and finding ways to break the Array, while the others concealed themselves in various directions, awaiting the opportune moment to charge unexpectedly.

"Go, Jixiang!"

Jiang Yuebai took Jixiang from the Golden Cicada Pendant at her waist and rolled it out like a meatball.

Squeak!

Jixiang climbed up angrily, sniffing around with its nose, soon finding a weak point in the Great Array, running over to start biting with its mouth.

Breaking arrays was Jixiang’s main skill, its innate ability allowed it to gnaw at the Great Array Barrier without causing any ripples, and because the initial bite was small, it was less likely to be detected.

During the interval of Jixiang breaking the array, Ge Yuchan transmitted to Jiang Yuebai from the shadows, "Five men and five women inside, six arrayed in pairs at triangle positions, all at Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, four encircling the Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros, all Late-Stage Nascent Soul, led by Ye Tianlang."

Even through the Great Array Barrier, Ge Yuchan could see clearly, as Jiang Yuebai condensed her Divine Sense into fine threads, probing through the small opening Jixiang was currently biting, quickly ’seeing’ the situation inside clearly.

The detection method she was using was the Refining God Method from Zhuge Ziyin of the Zhuge Family—an advanced version of the Silk Control Technique enhancing the threads of Divine Sense for more effortlessness, durability, and stealth, while possessing certain sensing capabilities akin to animal tendrils.

At the moment, the position Jixiang was biting was slightly to the left between two Array Points, where a male and a female cultivator from Red Sun Sect, both Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, the female planting an array flag burning fiercely with Vermilion Bird Totem into the ground with all her might, while the male staunchly defending beside her.

"I’ll distract the male, you’re responsible for killing the female, cut off the array flag, then crush the Jade Talisman Shen Huaxi gave."

Jiang Yuebai communicated to Ge Yuchan, before separating, Shen Huaxi gave them each a Jade Talisman, instructing that upon breaking the array, they should crush it, signaling everyone to charge together.

In battle, conveying messages is vital, hence Shen Huaxi keeps many such things.

Ge Yuchan gripped two daggers in her hands tightly, resembling a lone wolf in the night, silently targeting her prey, without emitting a trace of breath.

Jiang Yuebai while monitoring Jixiang’s progress in breaking the array, turned her attention to the center of the wasteland, where two men and two women were surrounding the Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros.

That Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros held strength far exceeding Late-Stage Nascent Soul, its massive bulk had legs stronger than a person, while its horn adorned with daunting five-colored lightning.

Three individuals restricted it, various blades and shadows formed a tide of flames, surging vigorously, continuously crashing onto the Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros, fiercely colliding with its surrounding five-colored lightning, erupting sharply.

The ground around them had been blasted into terrifying pits and cracks.

The Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros’s back was covered in intersecting white marks, and the three wielded Second and Third Grade Spiritual Artifacts, unable to cut through the creature’s hide, demonstrating its astonishing defensive power.

Roar!!

The wind howled furiously, the Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros suddenly raised its forehooves and struck the ground, shaking the earth and mountains, lightning atop its head turned into thousands of silver spears, aiming stormily at those below.

Critical moment, a dark-skinned, man dressed in dark red gear, streaked with a strand of red hair rushed out, holding a flame long sword resembling bird feathers, sweeping towards the sky full of lightning spears.

Flames unfolded like Vermilion Bird spreading wings, the piercing bird call resonating sharply, the Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros shook its head in shock, dispersing the lightning radiance from its horn.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Vermilion Bird wings swiftly slashed through the vast array of lightning spears, crashing fiercely upon the Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros, causing its back to explode with blood marks, tearing its flesh, spilling blood.

The power of Southern Bright Fire infiltrated into the creature’s organs, relentlessly burning, prompting a piercing shriek from the Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros, and it fell heavily to the ground.

"Such sharp blade aura!"

Ge Yuchan’s voice of admiration reached Jiang Yuebai’s ears, and Jiang Yuebai fixedly gazed at the dark-skinned man enveloped by three layers of Flame Gang Qi, half suspended in the air, hair fluttering boldly, resembling a descending Fire God, commanding respect without anger.

Indeed, that was Ye Tianlang, whose strength was exceptional.

The fallen Single-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros struggled still, eyes glowing red, lightning converged upon its horn, condensing five-colored thunder into a streak of blood light, darting towards the nearby Ye Tianlang.

"Senior Brother, watch out!"

The blood light suddenly swooped down, as agile as teleportation, rendering Ye Tianlang and the others unable to react.

Ye Tianlang’s three layers of Flame Gang Qi were shattered, clutching the knife at his chest was struck brutally by the Blood Thunder, bursting flames emitted the cries of Vermilion Bird, the flames transformed into wings slashing outwards, vanquishing the blood light.

Unexpected changes arose, the fallen blood light erupted into a blood-colored lightning tide, spreading layer by layer, rapidly surging, engulfing the four within.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes brightened, seeing that Jixiang had already bitten a small opening in the Great Array, immediately transmitting to Ge Yuchan.

"Now’s the time, move!"
