Chapter 545 (1/2)

Stuck

The body of the green-faced fanged beast gave out a sound similar to the whispering breeze, and like a bright green light, it rushed towards Shao Xuan. Its body looked round and heavy, but it seemed very light and floating.

Shao Xuan did not retreat. He shifted his abdomen backwards, twisted his entire upper body to one side while moving his knee backwards. As he avoided this fierce blow, he turned his wrist and readjusted his grip on his sword handle. His blade glinted as Shao Xuan struck the green-faced fanged beast. He was ready to chop off the head of this strange beast.

However, this beast was unusually agile and reacted right away. Right when Shao Xuan was about to chop off its head, it flipped up into the air, twisted its head, and used its fangs to block the blade.

Clang!

The beast fang collided with the blade, but it did not shatter. It only left a small scar that wasn’t deep.

After he missed, he was pushed away by its force. The green-faced fanged beast probably also did not expect Shao Xuan’s weapon to pose such a threat to it. After being pushed back by the force of the clash, it bounced up like a ball again. It quickly swung its hooves and distanced away from its enemy. When it was about twenty steps away from Shao Xuan, it stopped and glared at him fiercely.

Shao Xuan didn't know if it was his own illusion, or that the green colour on its face darkened. The murderous glaring eyes and the wrinkles on its strangely disproportionate face made it look even more fierce and untamed.

In fact, Shao Xuan knew that if he wanted to get the blood from the green-faced fanged beast, he must catch it alive. The people from Rock Hill City also set traps to catch them alive, not to kill. Under circumstances where the beast was extremely aggressive and offensively murderous, Shao Xuan was not sure if he could manage to catch it alive easily.

Sneer---

The green-faced fangs once again exhaled hot breath from his enormous nostrils and sprayed two hot air from the two large nostrils and stepped on its hooves.

It was clear that it did not intend to let Shao Xuan go. In the blink of an eye, its sharp fangs appeared in front of Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan didn't dare deal with it carelessly. As he thought about the carcass of the beast, he had an uneasy feeling. If he was stabbed by its fangs, it didn’t matter if he was human or beast, a totem warrior of lower or higher-ranking, and it didn’t matter if his internal organs were damaged. He would definitely die. He had no evidence to prove it, but his intuition told him so.

A strong gust of wind hit him as the beast came at him with all its strength. It was just wind, but Shao Xuan felt like he was hit by a wooden board.

The fangs were like a sharp steel nail gnashing on the surface of the sword, and the friction made a sharp sound. As the fang slid down the fuller of the sword, it made a “zzz” sound.

Shao Xuan gritted his teeth and supported the sword with all his strength. Veins appeared on his arms.

This beast’s attack was strong, not because it had a lot of strength, but it attacked at a high speed. Under the impact of its velocity, each attack was like a shell shot out of a cannon aimed at Shao Xuan. Even without its fangs, normal humans could not bear the impact of its speed. Not to mention the fact that its fang was sharp as a nail. The sword specially forged by Gongjia Heng could barely make a small cut on its fang. It could not leave a deep cut.

Missing his target, the green-faced fanged beast tried to escape and did not intend to continue fighting.

Seeing this, an idea suddenly flashed in Shao Xuan’s mind. It was merely a guess. He wasn’t sure if it could work.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

The third attack, the fourth attack...

The idea in Shao Xuan’s mind grew stronger and stronger.

After he blocked four of its attacks, Shao Xuan felt that the green-faced fanged beast was much lighter than it appeared. It did not like short-range combat and preferred long-range attacks. It liked to use deadly blows on its enemy with its speed and fang. This is why it would usually retreat if its blow did not kill the first time.

But this was just a guess. To be sure, he had to feel it with his own hands.

The green-faced fanged beast failed to hit on its fourth attack and started to become frustrated. Its nostrils that were much larger than the size of Shao Xuan’s fists were flaring and snorting madly, exhaling hot air that seemed like the water vapour rising from boiling water. It was madly snorting. After it snorted, it lifted its hooves again, ready to launch its fifth attack.

After he experienced the previous four attacks, Shao Xuan calmly blocked this attack and didn’t give it a chance to escape.

He pressed hard down on the soles of his feet and pushed the beast towards its retreating direction. The muscles on his free hand were suddenly pulsing with energy as his totemic strength climbed. His wrist twisted and he grabbed onto the beast’s fang. He used all his force and tried to grab the beast and throw it down to the ground. To catch it back alive, he had to make it unconscious first.

Light!

This was Shao Xuan’s first thought.

Slippery!

This was Shao Xuan’s second thought.

The green-faced fanged beast was not as heavy as it seemed, but Shao Xuan was already mentally prepared. He already guessed that it wasn’t heavy so he wasn’t that surprised. How else was it able to run on top of the grass? It did not have any wings like the other flying creatures.

In addition, when he felt how slippery the fang was, Shao Xuan was caught off guard. The fang did not look slippery at all and had a lot of scratches left by Shao Xuan’s sword and other past attacks. It shouldn’t have been that slippery.
