The two-headed bird let out a shrill cry and fixed its gaze on Nian Lin.
Its remaining head stared at him with pure hatred and madness. It was as though all reason had vanished from its mind. Even if it had to sacrifice its own life, it would not rest until Nian Lin was dead.
The beast completely ignored everyone else.
Even with the middle-aged man standing directly in front of it, it showed no fear.
Its enormous wings spread wide.
Boom!
The ground beneath its claws shattered as it launched itself toward Nian Lin with all its remaining strength.
It wanted only one thing—to drag Nian Lin down with it.
Nian Lin's expression changed slightly.
The killing intent coming from the beast was so intense that even he felt a chill.
"Be careful!" the beautiful girl shouted.
At the same moment, the middle-aged man moved.
Crack!
Silver lightning erupted around his body as he shot forward like a bolt of thunder.
The two-headed bird and the middle-aged man collided once more.
Boom!
Fire and lightning exploded in all directions.
A terrifying shockwave spread outward, uprooting trees and sending dust and rubble flying through the air.
Even Nian Lin had to retreat rapidly.
He could not get close at all.
Only now did he truly understand how powerful the two-headed bird was.
Despite suffering severe injuries and losing one of its heads, it was still capable of forcing a powerful cultivator like the middle-aged man into a fierce battle.
The middle-aged man was no longer completely unharmed either.
Several tears had appeared on his robe, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Yet neither side was willing to retreat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lightning clashed against flames repeatedly.
The battle grew increasingly violent.
At that moment, the beautiful girl finally made her move again.
However, this time she did not use the silver threads from her gloves.
She seemed to have realized that the threads could no longer completely restrain the enraged beast.
A black whip suddenly appeared in her hand.
The whip shimmered with spiritual light.
Without hesitation, she lashed it forward.
Crack!
The white whip streaked through the air like a silver dragon and wrapped itself around the bird's body like a black dragon.
The beautiful girl's eyes flashed coldly.
Without hesitation, she lashed out with it.
Whoosh!
The whip immediately tightened and completely restrained the two-headed beast once again.
The two-headed beast turned its head toward the beautiful girl.
It opened its mouth and tried to release fire, wanting to burn the girl into ashes.
However, before the two-headed beast could do so, another attack arrived.
The two men with bows immediately released their arrows.
The arrows shot through the air at terrifying speed.
One of the arrows directly pierced the eye of the two-headed beast, completely robbing it of its sight.
Finally realizing that it could not kill Nian Lin today, the two-headed beast struggled fiercely.
With a violent burst of strength, it removed the whip from one of its wings.
Flapping its wings violently, it shot forward, preparing to escape.
Seeing this, Nian Lin threw caution to the wind.
He rushed out from where he was standing and ran toward the girl with the whip.
He grabbed the whip and immediately poured spiritual energy into it.
It was as though he was holding a giant tank and pouring water into it.
Yet no matter how much spiritual energy he poured inside, it still wasn't filled.
However, he did not mind.
Using the whip, he lashed forward.
Whoosh!
The whip shot through the air and wrapped around one of the legs of the two-headed beast.
The leg was immediately bound tightly.There was only one thing Nian Lin knew.
He could not allow the two-headed beast to escape this time.
If he allowed it to escape, trouble would continue to follow him.
Until now, he still could not find any explanation for how the two-headed beast was able to find him.
He knew that this beast already possessed intelligence comparable to that of a normal human.
What he couldn't understand was why it had suddenly stopped pursuing him for the past several months.
Perhaps it had been preparing.
Perhaps it had been searching for a way to track the person who stole its egg.
No matter what the reason was, Nian Lin could not allow it to escape alive.
With that thought, he used all his strength to tighten his grip on the whip.
Then he launched himself backward with all his force.
Although his figure was skinny, his strength was far greater than ordinary people.
Even before cultivating spiritual energy, he had spent years hunting beasts in the wilderness.
His muscles and endurance had long surpassed those of normal humans.
Using his movement technique, he rapidly retreated while dragging the two-headed beast downward.
The whip tightened.
The two-headed beast immediately felt the pulling force.
It turned its remaining head toward Nian Lin.
Its eyes were filled with madness and hatred.
It was as though it wanted nothing more than to tear him apart and devour him alive.
A terrifying cry rang out. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
The beast suddenly changed direction and charged directly toward Nian Lin.
Boom!
Its gigantic claws smashed down.
The ground exploded.
Rocks shattered and soil flew everywhere.
However, Nian Lin had already retreated.
Without hesitation, he rushed toward one of the archers.
The archer was startled for a moment before Nian Lin snatched a bow from him.
Nian Lin immediately turned around.
While retreating, he continuously fired arrows toward the two-headed beast.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows streaked through the air.
Some pierced its scales while others were shattered away.
Yet Nian Lin's goal was never to seriously injure it.
He only wanted to draw its attention.
And it worked.
The two-headed beast completely ignored everyone else.
Its hatred was focused entirely on Nian Lin.
It chased after him relentlessly.
The rest of the group immediately followed behind.
Nian Lin continued running.
The two-headed beast continued pursuing.
As he ran, Nian Lin's eyes flashed.
Because this direction was not chosen at random.
This was a place where he had prepared traps years ago.
Two years earlier, he had spent months secretly setting them up.
At that time, he feared that one day the two-headed beast might discover him.
If that happened, he wanted at least a small chance of survival.
Hence, he had prepared this traps in advance.
However, after witnessing the battle earlier, he had almost abandoned all hope.
The strength displayed by the two-headed beast far exceeded his expectations.
Those traps should have been useless against such a terrifying creature.
But now things were different.
The beast had already suffered severe injuries.
One of its heads had been severed.
Its body was covered in wounds.
Its spiritual energy had greatly weakened.
Looking at the crazed beast pursuing him, Nian Lin clenched his teeth.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Now...he finally had a chance.
A chance to completely eliminate the two-headed beast forever.
