Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1004: Perish Together

As two equally powerful Spirit Beasts, the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros was wounded, and the Gigantopithecus Thunderape was naturally no better off.

While the Gigantopithecus Thunderape struck a punch at the head of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros, its abdomen was also struck by the Golden Horn on top of the rhinoceros’s head, resulting in a bowl-sized bloody wound, which looked terrifying.

However, whether it was the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros or the Gigantopithecus Thunderape, the injuries they sustained were minor and did not affect their formidable combat strength.

Nevertheless, the injuries of the two supreme Spirit Beasts of the Bitao Mountain Range thoroughly enraged them.

They let out earth-shattering roars, their aura surged violently, and then they collided with even more ferocity than before.

Spirit Beasts, relying on their robust bodies and dense True Yuan, usually choose to attack their own kind or human Martial Artists by body slamming, with a few using claws and sharp teeth, unlike the diverse techniques used in human combats.

This type of head-on attack was a true test of pure strength, with no room for cunning; although simple and direct, it was highly effective. Spirit Beasts or human Martial Artists with a lesser strength often determine the outcome with just one collision.

The two enraged mid-tier Spirit Beasts, carrying the might of thunder, clashed with each other repeatedly with an overwhelming force.

Each of their collisions caused deafening loud noises and clouds of dust; when the dust settled, the ground was left with one deep pit after another.

In the blink of an eye, the flowers, plants, and trees within a few miles radius were wiped clean by the impact force generated from the collisions of the two Spirit Beasts.

The protruding rocks and hills were also leveled by the subsequent waves of impact.

And the wounds on the bodies of the two Spirit Beasts also began to increase continuously, soon becoming mangled and bloody.

"What’s happening? Why have those two Spirit Beasts suddenly started fighting?"

"Heaven knows, they must have gone mad!"

"It’s good they are fighting; we might just escape this disaster, thank God!"

"If we don’t leave now, once the two Spirit Beasts decide the victor, there’ll be no escaping!"

...

Hiding behind a large tree in the distance, Huang Miao and others, watched the two mid-tier Spirit Beasts fighting intensely and were dumbstruck for a good while before coming back to their senses.

They couldn’t understand why the two Spirit Beasts would engage in such a fierce battle, one that seemed like a fight to the death.

However, they didn’t have time to ponder over this question.

What they wanted most at the moment was to seize this perfect opportunity and immediately escape this perilous place.

"Wait a moment!"

As Huang Miao and others prepared to leave, Fang Bai quickly interjected, pointing at the battling Spirit Beasts, "Don’t you want those two Spirit Beasts to fight to a mutual defeat, and then we reap the benefits?"

The Spirit Cores, already formed inside mid-tier Spirit Beasts, were rare and precious. The "great benefit" Fang Bai referred to was precisely this.

If they could obtain a Spirit Core from a mid-tier Spirit Beast, it could be exchanged for a vast amount of Cultivation Resources, sufficient for their Cultivation Team of five people to cultivate for several years.

If it were as Fang Bai had said, and the two mid-tier Spirit Beasts injured each other, then they could harvest two Spirit Cores to exchange for more Cultivation Resources.

Desire for Cultivation Resources overcame their fear. Huang Miao and Hou Ziping glanced at the two Spirit Beasts fighting fiercely, then looked at each other and made up their minds.

"Let’s wait a bit longer then."

Huang Miao spoke, "But we’d better move back a bit to avoid being affected by the shockwaves produced by the Spirit Beasts’ battle."

Hou Ziping nodded in agreement.

Thus, the five of them used their movement techniques to quickly move several hundred meters back behind a small hill.

"Fight! Hit him hard! You dumb rhino, use your Golden Horn to stab that stupid ape in the belly... Oh no, it’s off, why did you stab its arm? Such an idiot! You stupid ape, smash that dumb rhino’s head with your fist... Ah, why are you hitting the rhino’s shoulder?"

Liu Liehu ducked behind a rock, poking his head out to watch the Gigantopithecus Thunderape and the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros, his expression excited and his eyes gleaming, as he shouted out loud.

Liu Qingqing frowned slightly, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered sternly, "Liehu, keep it down! If those two Spirit Beasts hear us, we’re in big trouble!"

Just then, during the fierce battle, the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros and the Gigantopithecus Thunderape let out terrible roars almost simultaneously.

The roars of the two mid-tier Spirit Beasts blended together, creating an unprecedented shockwave. Behind the small hill, except for Fang Bai, the other four stumbled and fell to the ground, their minds in disarray, their ears buzzing, and blood trickling from their noses and mouths.

The roars had directly injured the internal organs of the four, showing just how formidable the two Spirit Beasts were.

Fortunately, the four had taken precautions beforehand, so the injuries weren’t severe. They hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, circulated their Cultivation Techniques, resisting the impact of the sound waves while tending to themselves.

As for what exactly had happened between the two Spirit Beasts that caused such terrible roars, the dust kicked up obscured their forms, making it impossible for the four to see clearly.

However, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense had penetrated through the dust and discovered that in this collision, the Gigantopithecus Thunderape and the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros had delivered fatal blows to each other.

At the moment the Gigantopithecus Thunderape’s fist, imbued with the power of thunder, crushed the skull of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros, the indestructible Golden Horn on the head of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros had also pierced the heart of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape.

Thus, the two dominant Spirit Beasts of the Bitao Mountain Range died on the spot, their massive bodies crashing to the ground and stirring up another cloud of dust.

Originally, there were quite a few Spirit Beasts active within a hundred li of the Ice Peak, but since the Gigantopithecus Thunderape and the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros appeared, those Spirit Beasts, frightened and wary of getting injured, had fled many hundreds of li away.

And the few lucky teams from Cultivation Teams that had been near the Ice Peak when they heard the roar of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape had already fled far away in terror, not daring to approach the Ice Peak anymore.

Therefore, within a hundred li of the eighteen Ice Peaks, aside from Fang Bai and his group as well as the two mid-tier Spirit Beasts, there was not a single living creature.

After the dust had settled, the bodies of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape and the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros appeared in Fang Bai’s line of sight.

Fang Bai glanced at Huang Miao and the others, who were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, then stepped towards the bodies of the two mid-tier Spirit Beasts.

The Gigantopithecus Thunderape with its heart pierced and the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros with its head shattered were beyond dead.

Fang Bai walked up to the bodies of the two Spirit Beasts and examined them closely.

For Martial Artists of the True Martial Realm, the bodies of mid-tier Spirit Beasts were treasures. Consuming their flesh and blood could greatly aid in Cultivation, the effects akin to those of a low-grade Elixir.
