…

Theo charged forward while raising his blade. The rhino didn’t seem to notice him, which was perfect for the first attack.

The dragon horse moved toward the rhino’s front right foot as Theo waved his blade. The swing was sharp and precise, but more importantly, the essence released by that attack spiraled upward, climbing the rhino’s foot.

*Roo!*

The rhino noticed the sharp pain on its foot and finally noticed Theo. The latter was surprised not because it took so long for the rhino to notice him but because his strike only left a small graze on the first spot he struck. The essence that spiraled around the rhino’s leg didn’t do any damage.

’Oh wow.’ Theo was impressed by the toughness of the rhino’s skin.

The rhino raised its foot, trying to stomp on Theo.

"Go!" Instead of running away, Theo chose to continue forward. The dragon horse responded by increasing its speed, avoiding the stomp purely with its speed.

After that, Theo waved his blade several times, sending his essence in a random direction, scratching all the skin’s surface.

*Roo!*

The rhino might not be injured, but it still felt Theo’s attack and hurriedly dropped down to crush Theo to death. Only after this did the dragon horse move away from the rhino.

*Boom!* The rhino hit the ground and created a huge crater underneath its body.

Theo couldn’t help but look at this rhino while saying, "I thought I was pretty lucky to have the sword with me, but it seems that the author sent this rhino specifically for me."

It was true that the sword could slash everything in Theo’s vision, but the strength of the slash was not as powerful as other weapons. That was why it didn’t do much damage to the rhino.

If it were like this, he thought the staff or the scythe would be much more useful. The scythe could take out the soul of the rhino, allowing Theo to kill the rhino slowly but surely. The staff had the power of gravity, which would be useful to crush this impenetrable defense. In fact, the unbreakable wires might be more useful than the sword.

The sword was very useful to fight a normal beast or human. Still, since he only had this one sword, he had to kill this rhino as quickly as possible.

"In that case, let’s go this way!" Theo sent another ray of light for the dragon horse.

Since the rhino’s body was on the ground, the dragon horse charged at the rhino and leaped into the air, landing on the rhino’s body. It then climbed the steep body until it reached the top.

The rhino noticed the annoying bug that stood on its body and tilted the body to the side to knock Theo off. The dragon horse skillfully ran on the rhino’s body so as to avoid falling.

While the dragon horse maintained their balance, Theo sent a few more sword strikes that ran on the rhino’s skin, trying to find anything that could be cut.

Still, the rhino was tougher than he expected. Even after looking around, his blade still failed to cut the rhino.

After knowing its toughness, Theo decided to change his strategy. Since it would be impossible to kill this rhino right away, he chose to target other things first.

"Go!" Theo asked the dragon horse to move forward.

The rhino tried to straighten up after tilting its body over, but the dragon horse was still able to remain on top as they ran toward the rhino’s back. As soon as they stood on the edge, Theo waved his sword, sending multiple strikes toward the rhino’s tail.

*Rooo!* The rhino screamed in pain. Unlike its tough skin, the tail was rather soft. There was also a hole where the rhino excreted, which was a perfect target for Theo.

"I can’t see it from here, but…" Theo smirked and sent multiple strikes toward the hole. He couldn’t see what happened inside, which restricted his control over the blade, but he still controlled the sword strike to move in a single direction.

That was right. Once the sword strike reached the hole, Theo controlled them to enter the hole. This was his last control and he let the sword strikes wreak havoc inside the rhino’s body.

*Roo!* The rhino couldn’t withstand the pain and tried to sit down to completely compress everything that went inside of him. He also didn’t want Theo to stick anything into it again.

As a result, the rhino sat down at a very steep angle, causing the dragon horse to have no choice but to leap off the rhino’s back.

To their surprise, the rhino went one step further and actually rolled over so that it could crush Theo with its back.

Theo skillfully guided the dragon horse to run away from the giant body. Theo could have an easier time if he utilized his illusion, but it would be too weird for the people in this world. So, he thought that he would use them only as trump cards.

Meanwhile, he would try to solve everything with his sword. While he was quite curious about the sword intent that Li Wei had, he simply wielded too many weapons. So he couldn’t focus on one of them. Learning all of them also required a lot of time and effort.

Hence, Theo asked the dragon horse to move toward the rhino’s head, which soon hit the ground.

*Bam!*

The dust was kicked up into the air, covering everything. Both the horse and Theo covered their ears, but Theo kept projecting the illusion onto the horse. The illusion was not a simple line but a whole illusion about their surroundings as though the horse had opened its eyes.

"It’s alright. Keep going. I will give you your eyes, so trust me."

The horse continued forward, believing in the image Theo gave. When the dust settled, the rhino actually saw Theo before its eyes.

"Hello!" Theo smiled while waving his sword, sending a few sword strikes to the face. He had several targets: the mouth, the nose, the eyes, the horn, and its ears.

*Roo!* The rhino screamed in pain. It was able to close its eyes at the last second, causing the eyelids to completely block Theo’s attack. However, the nose couldn’t be closed, allowing Theo’s attack to wreak havoc inside. Blood soon flowed out of the noses. The ears were pretty much the same.

The ears were more fragile than its body’s skin, so when Theo’s sword strikes spiraled around, it ended up cutting past its skin. The hole inside the ears was also the target, causing the rhino to become deaf.

There was no beast that could injure the rhino normally, so the rhino lived its life without knowing pain. But Theo was different. The rhino learned about the pain for the first time, and unfortunately for the rhino, this was where he was going to die.

Once the rhino let out a roar, the mouth opened up, allowing Theo to send some strikes inside the mouth.

Even if he had a hard time destroying the rhino’s outer body, he could simply kill the rhino from the inside.

The rhino was losing its consciousness pretty soon. The loss of the blood wasn’t that important, but Theo had been rampaging inside the rhino’s body. Of course, it also meant the rhino’s brain.

The muscle wasn’t enough to stop Theo’s sword strike, allowing him to kill the rhino without much difficulty.

Theo took a deep breath. "It’s done. If it’s this easy to kill the rhino, then does that mean it’s not the real danger?"

On the one hand, he still felt a bit suspicious about the rhino. On the other hand, he believed that the rhino had died.

In the end, Theo sent forth a few more strikes that would go all over its body to make sure that the rhino had died.

While Theo was still suspicious, Qin Beihe had a completely opposite reaction. She couldn’t believe that Theo was able to kill this rhino so easily.

The rhino didn’t look like it was a Golden Core Stage beast. However, its defense should rival that of a Golden Core Stage beast.

So, she was dumbfounded when she found out how easily Theo defeated this beast. "How can this be? What is his strength? No, can he actually defeat people at the Golden Core Stages?"

Qin Beihe gulped down. If their entire group fought him, she didn’t know if they could take him down or not. Even if they could, most of them would definitely die in the process.

In addition, Theo had the help of two dragon horses, which would make the fight harder. It seemed that they truly couldn’t do anything for Theo. The best thing they could do was befriend him.

While Qin Beihe was in bewilderment, Theo leaped off his horse and said, "Bring your friend here. Can you really devour this beast?"

The dragon horse nodded. It seemed that it had a plan, so Theo let him go to bring his friend to enjoy the rhino’s together.

The other dragon horse didn’t hesitate to knock Qin Beihe off its back as it moved toward the beast. Before eating the rhino, both horses lowered their heads as if thanking Theo for the opportunity.

It turned out the horse didn’t plan to eat the rhino’s meat. In fact, they might not be able to penetrate the rhino’s skin.

Instead, they actually went for the blood that came out of the wound. They were drinking the blood as much as they could.

Theo saw Qin Beihe approaching him.

"You’re not entering the palace?"

"The palace is locked. It seems that we need a key to open it. Besides, even if it can be opened, there is no way I can leave you alone here. I am not that ungrateful." Qin Beihe shook her head, explaining the current situation.

"I see. Well, you can go first. I’m going to take care of the dragon horses here." Theo sat down on the grass.

Qin Beihe surprisingly bent her knees, following him to sit down on the grass.

Normally, people would be thankful for her consideration. But Theo couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows. The reason he told her to go first was because he planned to reply to the comments.

While replying inwardly was an option, he believed that speaking would be a better way to answer them.

However, it seemed that Qin Beihe didn’t let him do it.

’Readers. If you want to blame someone for not answering you without much sincerity, blame her.’ Theo thought before opening the comments. ’Oh? There is only one comment. I thought that by asking the question about my Dao, people would be more interested in answering that question. After all, such an important question would definitely affect the story like who knows if the author decides to use your idea to impart that Dao into me?

’But according to Xinhuan, I am compatible with the Dao of Unity, huh? The ability to combine people, skills, and events… That’s an interesting concept. If you look at my current power, you will see that I’m going to learn things from every single world. So, having the power to unite them is extremely good. A good suggestion.

’Sadly, there are no other comments that can be used as comparison.’ Theo sighed. Amidst his disappointment, Qin Beihe’s voice echoed in his ears as she pointed her finger at the horse. "That’s…"

"Hmm?" Theo raised his head and noticed one of the dragon horses had its body glowing. Translucent scales began to appear on its skin and expand all over its body like that of a dragon. "Hoh? I’m glad that they are able to benefit from the situation."

Theo was happy that the dragon horses got some benefits since they had helped him travel all the way here.

However, this might not be the most important thing because Theo actually heard another voice coming from the side.

"Ho! I was chasing a girl to this place, but I never expected that I would find something more amazing. Is this the Elephant Rhino?! To think I would see a rare species here!"

Theo turned his head around to see the man who said those words. But anger soon overwhelmed his heart.
