Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Killing The Bison!
In front of him, two Qi Gathering Realm beasts were fighting against each other.
Seeing them, Yuan Ming was a little surprised. He was right to be surprised because of the size of the two beasts fighting.
They looked the contrast to each other, one was the same beast who almost killed him.
A colossal creature with a sturdy, humped body looking in the front. Its body was covered in blazing fur that gave him an enchanting look.
There were two curved horns on each side of its head. The horns gave the impression that they were forged in molten lava.
*Snort!*
The Bison snorted, and sparks of flames came out of its nose, making him look even more intimidated.
With just a single glance at the beast, Yuan Ming immediately knew it was the cursed Inferno Bison!!
What shocked him more was the beast fighting against him.
It was a rabbit…
No! After carefully looking, it was a hare rather than a rabbit. Despite the size difference, the spirit beast stood face to face without any fear on its face.
He was really curious how the level 7 Qi Gathering Realm beasts would deal against a peak Qi Gathering level beast.
Impressed by the beast's courage, Yuan Ming looked at it more closely and decided to watch their fight from the sidelines.
If the beast could perform well, he did not mind helping it out.
The hare did not seem simple as well; the soft fur of the beast had a hint of darkness to it.
It seemed to be blending with the darkness around it. There was a luminescent glow in its eyes.
Yuan Ming could not find a beast that matched the description in his memories. This information further intensified his curiosity.
As the fight started, the hare seemed to have blended itself with the shadows because of the color of its fur.
It tried to confuse the beast, trying to hinder its senses.
The Inferno Bison was not a beast to be messed with. It stomped its feet on the ground, sending flares in all directions.
The hare did not fear the flames and charged straight through them. The flames did not seem to have much effect on it.
But doing so exposed its location to the bison, who charged straight for the kill.
*Woosh*
The bison took a deep breath before launching a wave of flame from its mouth in the direction of the little beast.
"Squeak!!"
Seeing the attack coming in its direction, the hare let out a loud screeching noise that sent waves of energy into the surroundings.
Even Yuan Ming, who heard from far away, felt his mind spinning for a moment. While the bison, who was relatively close to the attack, came to a halt.
His attack ended in between before it could touch the cunning beast.
*Boom*
Taking the chance, the hare closed in and attacked the bison directly, trying to kill it.
The force of the hare was surprisingly quite strong, sending its opponent a couple of steps back.
Yet it could not pierce through its tough skin.
The attack allowed the beast to come out of its shocked state.
"Roar!!"
"The bison is really angry!" Yuan Ming could not help but mutter seeing the berserk state of the beast.
Seeing that a low-level beast dared to attack it to the point of injuring it, the beast could not swallow the humiliation.
"Squeak!"
Trying to use the same attack again, the hare backed away, but the bison used its flame to block its way of retreat.
*Boom*
The bison moved forward and used its head to smash against the hare, trying to kill it with the force of its horns.
Although it managed to dodge the horns by twisting its body in the middle of the air, the blunt force behind the head in the middle of the horns gravely injured the beast.
"..Squeak…"
The spirit beast let out a weak squealing sound while glaring at the bison with an unwilling look in its eyes.
*Woosh*
Just as the bison was going to use its feet to stomp on the hare, ending its misery, a whooshing sound echoed in the area.
*Boom*
The sound caught the attention of the beast. Suddenly feeling its instincts flaring, the beast jumped back.
Just as it moved back, something crashed in the place it stood.
"Yo! Did you miss me!"
Yuan Ming asked with a smirk on his face, trying to act cool, but his appearance did not let him fulfill his role of saving a damsel in distress.
Although the damsel was a beast instead of a woman, right now he really wanted this beast instead of a woman.
The injured hare looked at the battered human that suddenly came in front of it, saving it in confusion.
Somehow, despite its level, this spirit was somehow able to awaken its intelligence.
Yuan Ming also noticed this in the fight; this was also one of the reasons they chose to save this beast.
Not only did the beast have the ability to disturb someone's soul, but it also had intelligence way above the beasts of similar levels.
This made Yuan Ming even more determined to tame the beast as his pet.
"Roar!!"
The Bison looked at the familiar appearance of the human that managed to escape its hands with anger and killing intent.
Without caring about its opponent anymore, it charged straight at Yuan Ming.
"Do you think I am the same person from a few days ago?"
With a smile on his face, Yuan Ming also charged straight ahead with his sword in hand.
"Silent strikes, First form"
Yuan Ming used a sword technique he found in the sect library on the beast.
Without making any sounds, he appeared above the beast, slashing across its neck, trying to kill it in a swift motion.
The fur flame around the beast flared as if feeling. Following its instincts, the beast jumped up, pointing its horns at Yuan Ming.
"Second form, silent killing."
Using the momentum of the swing, Yuan Ming twisted in the middle of the air, beheading the bison.
*Thud*
*Clink*
